Can we get a target date for 2.2.1?

here's a bit of conjecture on my part.. since the server merges a year ago demonstrated transfers are possible, and the current APAC transfers going on demonstrate that the tech is such that you can transfer your toon anywhere you wish provided BW will allow you to (I had 2 APAC toons that I transferred to POT5 just so I could test the system - it was instantaneous and worked fine)

my logic is such that the only reason they didn't releast PAID transfers with 2.2 was that the "PAID part of the equasion was what was really borked.

merges worked fine a year ago, free transfers work fine currently and it doesn't seem to matter whether the acheive system as-is is a big deal with the APAC servers. when you take into account BW's total focus on Cartel Market, microtransactions and cash shop since 1.5.. it would stand to reason the only thing that would keep paid-transfers from going live is there was a problem getting paid for them on BW's end.

also keeping with their history of not telling players the truth or keeping us informed of course it will be blamed on acheivements and not the honest "we couldn't figure out how to get the cartel coins to work and the coding is borked so give us a couple days/weeks so we can figure it out cause we sure as heck aren't going to let you do this for free! we need to get paid *****es !!!!

So, I take it you don't care about anyone but yourself? You had 2 toons moved fine.

DOZENS of people ran into MULTIPLE problems when trying to transfer APAC toons. The problems are absolutely real, and need to be fixed before they make people PAY for the service.

End of story.

Aww . . . well, thanks for keeping us posted at least, Eric. Though I don't really care much about achievements I know a lot of people do and I'd hate to see that get messed up.

I am disappointed that this is taking so long though. I was so excited to transfer my characters, and wouldn't have minded if it was just a minor delay due to an unexpected bug like patch 2.2 had, or even if it was a "Yes, we have almost fixed this problem and are sure we can get this in 2.2.1". And I would have felt less let down if they had told us about the delay earlier. The day before the patch I figured it must be a go for sure. But nope.

I really, really hope they make it in with 2.2.1. Since there is no attractive price option for transferring in "bulk", I will be rerolling a couple of mid-level characters on my new server and don't want to miss out on double XP weekends for it. Said characters require Legacy unlocks to create though and I do not have those unlocks on my new server (nor can I afford them there, and I'm not spending 1200 CC for unlocks I already have, anyway!).

So I'm suspended from the game until then? Thanks for letting me know in advance.

I LOVE how much people cry about something being released with bugs.

And how much the same people cry when something ISN'T released because of bugs.

What is wrong with humanity

Humanity is made up of individuals, each with their own set of desires, needs, faults, and foibles. That's all.

And the reason people are upset with this delay is because this is a delay since, roughly last year when they consolidated servers and said paid transfers would be coming 'soon.' And then we waited, and waited, and waited. And then, yay! 2.2 transfers are coming! And then just before, nope, sorry, you have to wait weeks more. Not a day or so, but weeks. It's...frustrating to say the least.

I get why they're not releasing it, and I'd prefer it to be working smoothly before deployment, but the delay is just kind of mind-boggling at this point.

I understand the annoyance -- there clearly isn't a team of seasoned developers working on this game. It is 100% understandable that we still haven't gotten them -- but that doesn't mean we have to like it.

As far as individuals -- when the same individual screams all the time, they deserve the ridicule. Especially when being so hypocritical.

Dramatic assumptions are great. I have no clue whose on the team working on this game and their experience level, but delaying something like server transfers until they work properly is in fact evidence *of* seasoned developers rather than the opposite.

Oh individuals can be very inconsistent. I just find it funny when people expect the gaming community as a whole to en masse love or hate something. People will vary in their reactions to things.

To some, the achievements being buggy means nothing (it's not something I would get worked up over, especially given the currently buggy state of achievements and codex entries), so they would prefer transfers be available now. To others, achievements are very important and they would be upset if their hard work was devalued or erased by a programming glitch, so they would be upset if it was released with the bugs. Different motivations and valuations = different reactions. *shrug*

What about the Free Character Rename we were promised weeks ago? When can we expect that to be forthcoming, if at all?
