Summer of SWTOR

Please tell me what other content i got to do in that timeframe then? that wasnt part of ROTHC ( i had to pay for that)

You do have a point. Our subs are paying for cartel market updates, not content.

And if he doesn't post it, you'd hear the same people crying about "Why no info on PvP update?"

There's no winning with some people. I for one am happy that they're at least giving us SOME information. I don't like PvP much, I only do it once in a while when I'm really bored. But rather than complain about what WASN'T said, I like to focus on what WAS said.

My impressions:
NiM TFB - Doesn't affect me, I still haven't completed SM TFB.
Scrolling UVs... This has me curious. I'm not thrilled with the current armor dye system, and I'm wondering what this new appearance system will bring.
More guild love - Love it. Anything to encourage guilds is a good thing, IMO.
Crafting Underworld gear - Mixed bag. On one hand, I will be crafting higher end gear. On the other, I have trouble getting materials for them.
Unified Fleet Chat - Until recently, I didn't even realize this was a problem. But I'm glad it's fixed.
Double XP Weekends - YES! I think I'll start my next couple of characters these weekends.
NiM S&V - I haven't even set foot in S&V yet. My guild keeps doing runs too early in the evening for me to join.
Gree at level 55 - Sounds like fun, I can dig it. Maybe I'll finally get the hamster ball mount.
New FP, Daily Area, Recurring Event, graphical updates - All nice teasers. Two months out, I don't expect that much info to be released.
PvP news - Meh. Don't care.

Love of the game only gets you so far, i need stuff to do in said game, and for the money i put into it.

Just change the heading of this post to "Summer of PVE SWTOR". TY

I think it's obvious that anyone still playing SWTOR after all it has been through does care about the game, but to use that as a reason to sweep people's concerns under the rug is kind of patronizing.

How about giving a reason for the lack of content until August? Why does BioWare think a recycled OP that most people will never see is good enough for its own update? Why is 2.2 so pathetic?

Exactly! we were told that our concerns of no content in 2.1 was going to be answered in 2.2 and we get a recycled 8 months old raid!...and thats it!

It looks to be like they've threw in the NIM mode for TFB simply so they can point and say look see we met our 6..sorry 6 to 8 ..sorry 8 weeks cadence.

First, thank you BW for the road map and listing some of the items you have planned. Looks good. However, this list above... not really new content. More like QOL updates. Adding a harder mode to an OP, along with a new tier of gear so you can give crafters another set of gear to grind out (which really won't be worth anything for very long). New gear just gives that small percentage of players who already have managed to get fully or nearly fully geared in the current top tier something to stay busy with until the updates mentioned below are ready -

Now this is real content! This is what your players are expecting every 6-8 weeks when you tell them you will give new content. The graphical upgrades have been asked for since release and would be nice, but I fear with the time tables you have established for yourselves, there won't be adequate testing and a lot of problems which will require emergency fixes. It would nice to be able to look forward to those updates without the fear of having to wait a week or more for a fix.

Have to agree 100%

This 'flak' seems to be following on from 2.1. There we were reassured by no less than 3 different BW employees that subscribers were valued and that the content cycle was in a healthy state. It isn't, obviously, as 2.2 is the weakest content patch since the 6-8 week cycles started.

PvE subscribers havent had 'free content' since February and have little to look forward to until august. PvP subscribers should probably unsub and return in the autumn if they're looking for new content. The transparency for certain subjects is fantastic and long may it continue. The content output however is poor. Compare it to most other MMO's.

At least I hope that many bugs will be fixed in 2.2. Seeing as content is lacking can we get some polish?

Oh, I dont think that is what the comment represents. It is a comment that shows appreciation and understanding as to why the complaints are so vocal.

Are you going to tell me that every post here has been non-confrontational, well behaved and constructive? I think the answer to that is obvious.

It is recognition that passion for the game is driving that emotional response. Not the issue itself, but how emotional the posts are with respect to the issue.
