Scionyde Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 This is all I ever wanted to hear. A tentative schedule and outlook on things that are to be fixed and added. Thank you for reminding me that people still care and aim to make this game better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) This would be a really good thread if you continue to update it in the future. Make the layout more eye-pleasing, put out the effort to keep it clean and updated, and you could have yourself a sticky. edit: It seems user-made threads no longer get stickied, so never mind.

Naroga Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You can add that they are bracketing level 50 only Warzones next patch. Also, they are going to allow picking which Warzone you wish to queue for in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtrick Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Personally, I'd remove #10. That's not a "coming soon" -- they've been doing that since launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illgot Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 That's great news. Anything on the modification system or an appearance tab. I'm getting a bit burned out avoiding the level 50 grind for my gear because I hate how it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Also, they are going to allow picking which Warzone you wish to queue for in the future. I don't know how I feel about that. It will be nice not having to play huttball 24/7 (as an Imperial), but I bet queue times will drastically increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhfel Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 they are giving a small buff to sith warriors soon. too lazy to find out exactly where, check dev tracker. Something to do with their mobility and being-kited issues, and also some quality-of-life stuff to do with their complex rotations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroth Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) BIG BUMP! Also, people need to chill the frack out. Bioware hasn't been developing this game for half a decade just to bet it all on a first-month "make or break". They most definitely have a detailed plan for easily 5 years into the future (and most of that plan will succeed, because it's a matter of programming and design and not about "sales luck"). Some uncertainties always exist, but you can't revolve your plans around uncertainty. You need to know the risk and then take it. Bioware isn't even close to making the game any "less popular", let alone flop. This IS the next big MMO, but we won't see it as players until maybe 1-2 years from now. I do see it myself, though, but that's because I'm not just a player. I've researched games for 2 decades and I know what will succeed or not. It's not that hard to know, but it takes experience and understanding that it's quantity and variety that ensures most sales, not the quality of individual, isolated game features.

SwigMcJigger Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's sad that you're trying to do something that Bioware should be doing themselves. If they just came out and said "We have a timeline for fixing the AH, implementing macroes, combat logs, customizable UI etc etc" it would make a world of difference. They claim to have the familiar hallmarks of the mmo genre but I believe otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiskyBiz Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 1. The UI will be customizable in a near patch. - (need reference, read that last week) God I hope so. And PLEASE, for the love of all that is holy-- implement the ability to mouse-over heal. I seriously feel like a cave man healing like this.

Arodin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 For sake of clarity, I suggest rewording the points about adding new planets, because it doesn't necessarily mean a new fully-explorable planet with new missions, etc. In the case of Kaon, for example, we only go to that planet for the Flashpoint.
