Over all they have been pretty bad IMO.

I log in and no one is running anything but 16 man sm cause you can get all the 180s you need from there.

And before you all pout at me. I planted a garden, painted miniatures, took up fruit carving, played through Lego Harry Potter, shampooed my floors and have been playing Landmark Beta.

But hey I want star wars to do something fun. I want to get my Lord of the Raklings title. I want to finish a few of my WB achievements in the Gree area. So yeah i'm bored with SWTOR not life.

I'll still log into raid but other than socializing with my friends and farming gear there is nothing engaging ATM. So i'll see ya'll in 2 weeks for early access to housing.
There's an event coming on june 10th... I know it's not the event you want and might not even be one you like, but it's an event nonetheless.

An event which will promote gambling in Nar Shaddaa for two months only... Nar Shaddaa, the Smuggler's Moon, with one casino for each faction...

And we'll have gambling there for two months this year it would seem; The irony.

oh the gambling event will last less than life day one did (becasue at least with life day, snowballs still work to make your tanks and the boss they are about to attack - faaabulous :P ) unless they add something more to do to it. (I have tried it on PTS, and the only people that I know of that wouldn't be done with it after few hours, are people trying for the rancor mount and even for those people it will only take a few hours more)

that said... here's verbatim quote from developers on upcoming summer events.

I’m here to provide an updated look at the upcoming Summer of SWTOR in light of our recent Galactic Strongholds announcements. The biggest changes to our Summer plans outside of Galactic Strongholds are Game Update 2.8. Here’s a look at the next four months including that update (and not including the May 4th, May 11th, and July 15th rewards deadlines already mentioned in Galactic Strongholds letter):

Game Update 2.8: on June 10th
  • Nar Shaddaa Casino. For the first time, players are invited to the casinos on Nar Shaddaa to try their luck on the slot machines. Credits can be used to purchase tokens, which in turn can be used on slot machines. Lucky winners will receive certificates that can be traded in for unique rewards that will only be distributed during the Nar Shaddaa Nightlife event. This event will run from June 10th to August 19th.
  • Double Fleet Requisition, Warzone Comms, and Credits from PvP matches. For three weeks at a time, events will run that yield increased rewards for participating players. Galactic Starfigher will grant players double the Fleet Requisition and double the credit rewards they would normally get. Warzones will similarly give players double the standard Warzone Comms and double the credit rewards. The increased rewards only apply to the rewards on the scorecard at the end of matches, not the rewards you get from daily/weekly missions. The Starfighter event will run from 2.8 – 2.8.1. The Warzone event will be active from 2.8.1 – 2.8.2.
  • Groupfinder Operations Overhaul. Story Mode Operations will be more accessible to endgame players (levels 50 – 55). The Operations section in the GroupFinder window will list available Operations on a pre-determined schedule, rotating in different Operations every few days. Players who meet the level requirement of the Operation will be Bolstered, removing the requirement for endgame gear. Rewards have also been improved, making this a great opportunity for players to earn Ultimate Commendations and experience new content. These operations will also be for 16-man mode to ensure faster queue times (both 8 and 16 man need 2 tanks and that is typically the gating factor). 16-man is also more forgiving to mistakes and should increase the chances of a successful group.
  • Nightmare Mode Dread Palace. Face the ultimate challenge, the Dread Masters in their palace with new Nightmare Mode mechanics and difficulty.
  • Nightmare Dread Fortress update. The NM Fortress difficulty buff will be removed. All of the new NM Fortress mechanics are still in place but it should now be more accessible to larger groups. Fair warning: the unique title for defeating Nightmare Fortress with the buff present will never again be available to those who don’t unlock it prior to this game update.
  • Two New Starfighter Variants will be available to pilots on both sides of the conflict. The Skirmisher Gunship fills a sniper role and brings dogfighting capabilities to the table, while the Assault Bomber is a heavy fighter that focuses on either mines or drones.
  • The usual host of additional features, including some graphics improvements and class balance changes.

Events! We will be running every one* of our major recurring events over the period between 2.8 and 2.9. Events include:
  • Double XP Weekend
  • Gree Event
  • Bounty Contract Week
*Except the Rakghoul Resurgence. Obviously, the Rakghoul plague was completely eliminated the last time, and the galaxy is absolutely safe from another outbreak. Right?

Game Update 2.9 is still on for August 19th with our expanded feature set for Galactic Strongholds Subscriber Early Access. The team is making great progress on Strongholds and we are very excited to share this with you. It’s worth noting that Game Update 2.9 will include the next exciting chapter in the Forged Alliances story arc, and we have a lot of folks working on something very big for later this year that I have yet to give details on.

May the Force be with you,

Bruce Maclean
raq event denial is part of the whole shtick, its how it was introduced the first time resurgence happened, so the only thing that's not coming back is Chevin event (though I do hope they change their minds, especially since there were some loose ends left for that particular story. even if they don't bring back original rewards)
so... that's something?

honestly - burnout happens. for some it takes longer than others, but burnout happens. and the thing about burnout is that the only way to fix it is taking a break. nothing wrong with that on any level. (especially since taking breaks in SWTOR is much easier than pure subscription MMO's, since you still have access while you are unsubbed, if the mood strikes you, but you are not sure how long the mood will last)

+1

also, customers that get in the habit of not playing your game are likely to decide that the other activity is the one that they want to pay for. customers that are actively engaged on a daily basis tend to stick around. which would you rather have?

he is asking that the devs click on the gree event and start it. It is already programmed and in the game..just click the button. give people something to run around doing.

Good grief, that Wildstar clip looks like a mad cartoon dance party. That's their idea of PVP? Run around and blindly cast AoEs?

but anyway, you mean this wildstar, the one that appears to have a goal of giving its playerbase epileptic seizures?

I got a headache watching this video as it is, and it hurts my eyes...
Dear god, the light, it burns.

People can talk **** about TORs graphics all they like but the art style I saw in Wildstar is worse than some of the Saturday morning cartoons I watched when I was kid. Not to mention that I couldn't even tell what was going on between : Snare, Trap, Snare, Deflect, Taunt and the disco tiles on the floor and all the abilities going off at once.

Well said!!!
All warfare is based on deception • If his forces are united, separate them • If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near • A leader leads by example not by force
