Dev Post EricMusco Posted September 25, 2018 Dev Post Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hey folks, The team has made the decision to delay the launch of Game Update 5.9.3 to next Tuesday, October 2nd. We have a handful of known issues that we are tracking for the Update which we want to address before it goes live. Unfortunately, we were unable to get them fixed in time for our planned release date tomorrow. Some of the issues we are seeing include: An issue with our Conquest scheduling which will stop it from proceeding as intended.The interface for holocalls not displaying properly.The preview window not activating properly for a variety of item types. In each one of these instances there is a workaround which would not actually block gameplay. Still, if we can avoid those issues being live we would like to. We are going to take the extra time to address these issues to give you the best 5.9.3 we can. I will provide further updates as we move towards next week. Double XP will also move back one week to 10/9 - 10/16. Thank you all for your understanding and we apologize for the late notice. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimTheGlutt Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 OK, but these 11th hour movements are getting a bit too frequent. Just smells of an inability to manage a delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkemace Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Give them a break, they only have a skeleton staff that's running double shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiesu Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Can I move my sub back by one week too? Edited September 25, 2018 by Kiesu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setokai Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Will that cause the double Xp event to be moved or will that still be on track for the Oct 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimTheGlutt Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Will that cause the double Xp event to be moved or will that still be on track for the Oct 2? Musco already mentioned it's moved... Double XP will also move back one week to 10/9 - 10/16. Thank you all for your understanding and we apologize for the late notice.

Ylliarus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I'd take delayed over bugged any day! Good luck with everything next week, I am looking forward to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Ziva Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Give them a break, they only have a skeleton staff that's running double shifts. Double shifts? That's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameYOL Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Well thanks for the update, better to leave it time to properly patch those issues than to rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KendraP Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Is anyone actually surprised? Thanks for the info and yes, i like delayed over bugged. I predict we end up with delayed and bugged, anyone else? You know what I'd like even more? For you guys to pick a realistic release schedule rather than stringing people along Edited September 25, 2018 by KendraP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekkakuski Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 thanks for nothing again, now DXP have moved when I'm back at work and don't have time to play. I waited that so long to level up few toons, but no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IoNonSoEVero Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Thank you for the update. I appreciate that the team is doing everything possible to ensure a bug-free patch (or bugged as little as possible), and that they're also taking efforts to avoid having the double XP time cut into by bugs.

Valin_Marr Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not really that surprised. Haven't logged in in like 2 weeks solid. since I completed the Darth Hexid Feats of Strength that only one of my 29 characters received credit for her. I have like 40 days of sub time left not wasting anymore time. They lost me with the content drought and the lack of choices within the Kotet storyline. I'll probably check the boards out once a mount to see whats new. A promising year so I thought, and hear it is almost October and nothing relevant content wise.

Totemdancer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Why would you move back the Double XP though? Look what happened at the last xp event. They released a bugged patch and people couldn’t take advantage of the double xp. Adding a week between is now insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totemdancer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 thanks for the info and yes, i like delayed over bugged. I predict we end up with delayed and bugged, anyone else? I have a bad feeling about this. The only bit of optimism I have is maybe they are trying to fix the dysnc and needed a smoke screen incase it doesn’t work.

Lunafox Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) I'll forgive almost anything if you put medical stanchions on the direct buy market. Edited September 26, 2018 by Lunafox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimiko_tomiyama Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Is it bad that I automatically add a week to any announcements of a patch? Granted I would prefer a delayed patch to bug soup, but I really wonder how a company that sets low targets and then consistently fails to achieve them expects to continue.

merovejec Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Can I move my sub back by one week too? Hmm interesting point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilkiealbert Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 just put on more people on it and you wont have this going on it will probably get dune on time for once: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthCasus Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Well, that's unfortunate. Needed something to play on my birthday (took the week off finally) and I was looking forward to double rewards since I have a platoon of toons I've wanted to march through the GC grind. Guess I'll go back to decorating and arguing in genchat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylliarus Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Why do people need to be so negative always. They delayed the patch, big deal! The world's not going to end and the fact they delayed the patch only shows they care about us and that they want us to get content that works properly. Just see how the gloomies and doomies are going to jump on this post and herald how ghastly the Bioware devs are. Just stop being negative for once. Players are blowing stuff really out of proportion sometimes if not most times. Edited September 26, 2018 by Ylliarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are blowing stuff really out of proportion sometimes if not most times. There is no need to be rude about it. it is just venting at this point and you should know better than to assume everyone is in the same boat on the matter. Just so you know, what you are doing is exactly what the others are doing, only you focused it against them instead. might be best to let it slide for now.
