3.0 information today?? PLEASE!!!!!!!!

and we have our 'slap to the face!'

take a bow.

wait til the 29th to "release" this delay?

you guys are doing you're best to kill the game.. ever further.

We don't expect Bioware to release new information anytime soon considering today's announcement. We have every right to criticize Bioware's communication or lack thereof as we are all paying subscribers. This isn't just about 3.0, we want some sort of assurance about the future of the game. Everyone knows about the extreme PVE and PVP content drought over the last year, we just want some indication of how it will be corrected. You Bioware apologists can try to derail the discussion all you want but you are adding nothing of value.

Eric, I'm going to let my head expand a bit and say I think I can speak for the entire community when I say we'd be happy with some info now even if we don't get the subscriber perks until later this month.

Of course you do. And we have every right to mock the ceaseless whinging that bears no resemblance to reasonable criticism.

Oh dear. You have willfully misinterpreted what I have said. This will not be the end of the game. It will take a lot more than one botched expansion release to kill off SWTOR. What it potentially could do is put a serious dent in the game's fortunes in the future.

What message does it send out to have a missed deadline like this? It sends out several:

1. Bioware's promises cannot be trusted;
2. Bioware's development resources and competence are in serious question;
3. Bioware has no released roadmap for this game and has postponed releasing one for no good reason;

It is not necessary for those messages to be true for them to have a very corrosive effect. Bear in mind also that this is part of a consistent pattern of poor communication over recent months. We have had substantial content releases in the last year with GSF and GSH. What we have not had after the spring is anything like proper information on future content. At maximum we have had information about patch 2.x+1 when patch 2.x is released. A proper roadmap should have information about the next content patch and the content patch after that where they are releases within a given expansion tier. It is obviously different when a major expansion is coming out, but if Bioware's PR department were doing a good job we would have far more than a virtually pointless 10 second trailer by now. In my opinion Bioware's PR department is currently not only not doing a good job, but doing no job at all. Where they fail to go a vacuum currently exists and it is being filled by a combination of speculation and information gleaned from any and all sources, even if those sources break the terms of service. Speculation will always exist, but it is not being contained and channeled in any meaningful way at all by Bioware at the moment. Proper PR would do that job, at least in part.

Aww. I was looking forward to 3.0 info tomorrow, but nope. I'm a little miffed, mostly that they took until the 29th to tell us that they couldn't deliver the previously announced announcement (lol) by the 30th.

I admit, the mention of something "nice" for subscribers piqued my interest, but I am trying not to get excited about it. It could be something like free unlocks in a brand new Stronghold . . . but is more likely to be something like a recolored speeder and a title.

Also, this expansion release schedule seems kind of, well, squished. Especially compared to 2.0's! I guess I am just surprised that a RotHC size expansion is shaping up to have such a short pre-release hype/marketing/preorder window.

Bioware does so much for us to give us new content to go through. We need to stop complaining and let them do what they need to do so they can give us the content we might enjoy. I can't wait to hear what they have planned for the new expansion that is coming out.

And you are not sure what is going to be in the expac for what reason ? the major content that is coming out ... oh wait no content is coming out. it hasn't for almost a year. no reason for the dev team to be not sure what is going with all this time to work on this, this is just unacceptable. i personally know a lot of my guild members who have unsubbed and many more me included who are very close to unsubbing as well because BW can not stick to a deadline. Not releasing info because of a "subscriber perk" which is gonna end up being a vanity item is not worth this whole shenanigans. BW needs to clean up their act. It's like you have no idea how to run this thing.

You have either just started playing this game or are trolling. BW hasn't released content in a year.
