Summer of SWTOR

If its so about story, then where are all the new class stories? Oh, that's right.

This has to be the biggest joke ever..

No new flashpoints until August?

We are suppose to do these same 4 flashpoints until then? Ugh, I thought this next update was suppose to be exciting. Nightmare modes are great don't get me wrong. But nothing else? No Pazaak? New Space content? These updates are so stale and lacking.

Graphical updates? Dear god, please do not break the engine more. Unless you plan to work on it during this time and update and improve it? Then sure this sounds great. But if you plan to "enhance" your already awful engine with pretty things. Please, JUST STOP.

A game like Star Wars with infinite possibility of content to be added and we don't get much of anything. I've been very grateful for the updates coming quickly but they are so lacking and bland. I walk away disappointed.. and wondering what I'll do for the next couple of months.

Server transfers will be in 2.2.

I have a few questions for you.

With this post you hint that "A new warzone" is not enough to be big news, which i completly agree with. A new warzone is good, it's awesome and great - but not big news.

1. Why then, is it that we had no warzones added at all since Ancient Hypergates?
2. Can we from now on trust that you will indeed deliver new warzones and pvp content on a regular basis?
3. Does "We're working very hard on larger pvp features" mean that we you're not working on any new warzones?

I'd really be interested in the answers to these questions.

What happened to GUILD CAPITAL SHIPS?

Just after release they were all we liked it, you wanted it so its going to happen were just looking at ways to do it and them..bam..nothing more ever said or heard.

Its not a joke, its a fact. And this you are naming a joke, is something that many customers have explained here since many months ago but people didnt want to listen and just called us trolls etcetcetc.

The game you are playing was made by guys who were fired a year ago. The current BW staff (except the F2P thing and the Cartel Crap) has just been finishing all the content that "fired" BW had started: Asation, HK-51, Ancient Warzone, Makeb, Cathar race.

Here we reach a point where all that content has been finished and released....2.2 is a joke cos they got nothing to offer you and they need to recycle Ops, events, Double XP weekends etc. And cos EA dont want to invest money on this game and these products need much money to be healthly and get new stuff regularly. The 8 cycle patch is a joke cos they release stale and tiny patchs.

I´ll say it again. The SwTor game you like a lot, died a year ago when Bioware staff was fired. Now is just a ghost with false promises.

This is a good roadmap, and I'm happy that we're getting this update and in this form as well.

Can we get some form of acknowledgement that the new Flashpoints will not just be a Hardmode of Red Reaper and Colicoid Wargames? Adding a little extra to an already existing map is not new in my eyes.

Outside of this, I'd love to see a map that stretches even longer. What's going on with the Space Missions, are we getting new comms content there? What of Guild Capital Spaceships and other new functionalities that have been on the table for quite some time?

Thanks for the update, glad to see that stuff is on the horizon!

"It won't help.... cause they're not related. Lag/ability delay is a server side issue. Adding better textures, lighting, shadows, etc will have no effect on the ability delay issue. If it's graphics related your FPS will drop and motion will be choppy, not delayed, If graphics are to much then slide them down.

And many of us do enjoy the graphics upgrade as we get new pc hardware. And that is why we are PC gamers. Our games can scale over time. A graphics update doesn't affect you, cause you would need to turn it on in your settings. All you've gained is more for the future and for some of us the present.

One of the biggest forums post I've seen here was about the graphics, in the first months of release, about the low rez character textures in game vs cut scenes... they couldn't ignore it and so they added a few new graphic options. For a mmo where you live with your characters people over time do find their graphics very important for a lasting appeal."

I am not going to pretend to know everything about lag, and graphics, but what I do well is deduct from what Ive seen. This game has had a constant lag issue, and it got worse when they started updating the graphics. Maybe your right, but the devs have refused to confirm or deny if its a server side issue. At least from what I have read, note from what I have read. Not form what other people have seen or read.

As for graphics and pcs, I play pc games because I can twist and turn them, and if you play some of them right they really are a mind bender. Also unlike consoles you can get a good pc and be set for every game that comes down the pipe for years, without ever having to update. So on that note, no I am not too keen on graphics. As far as this game goes I think there is a 1000 other things that need looked ahead of graphics. Graphics are of the moment, meaning once people get used to them, they stop being enjoyable. People dont stick around in a mmo for graphics. This of course is my personnel opinion. Animations on the other hand well thats a different story.

Exaggerate much? A lot of those people are actually still employed with Bioware and working on SWTOR. Yes, there were some big layoffs from the original 400+ man team, but I don't know why people keep acting like it was everyone.
James Ohlen, Dallas Dickerson, Damion Schubert, Hall Hood, Charles Boyd, Jeff Dobson, Gabe Amantangelo, Jesse Sky, Rob Hinkle, William Wallace, Austin Peckenpaugh, Blaine Christine, Cory Butler, even Bruce Maclean, and many others, they're all part of the original team. Most of those guys other than Ohlen have posted on the forums or been at a convention recently. Gabe's been quiet lately, but he's still there, apparently.

There's much less supporting staff, so they just aren't going to get stuff done as fast as they could had they not downsized, and most of that downsizing was Q&A and Community, IIRC.

Nothing for me to look forward to, this game was supposed to be all about story, now it is just another game like all others. Where end game is all about boring raids, boring daily quest grinds or boring warzone PvP....

After my current sub is done, I will not return until there is another Makeb type expansion, as there is nothing other than story in this game that is unique compared to other MMOs.
