It is annoying on a Friday night, smack bang in the middle of our prime time.

What I want to know is whats in the 100mb patch!

According to the patch notes for 1.2.0.a i'm really hoping this isnt all the patch is addressing:

http://www.swtor.com/patchnotes
  • Addressed an issue that could prevent characters from being deleted.
  • Made improvements to the CS ticketing system.

If it is, to take servers down im primetime for a large portion of the community so that people can delete characters and submit tickets when they can already do this is fraustrating. There has to be some other fix going on surely?

EDIT: To be clear I mean they can already submit tickets. I'm not sure about the delete character bug, but surely if you've hit 8 characters you can play one of the other 7 until they do fix this...

Stop whining there's nothing you can do and besides they wont tell you unless they really want you to know the reason or reasons for this downtime. I think they are just adding some improvements to the game and all of it's buggs, i mean seriously i have been playing this game for a week and found over 15 buggs during my play time of only doing missions and pvp and the reason is because no one is reporting them or it's just me that has experienced all kinds of buggs within this game? it's a new mmo it takes time to fix some stuff be patient.

May the force be with you my friends :O

Well one issue I noticed in tatooine last night was on my trooper vanguard quest. I'm responding to the apartment complex bombing. I get in there, speak with the residents as the droids attack. 2 mouse clicks and my companion is dead another mouse click and i'm dead.....That fast. There was no lag as I could manuever and fire, MV was FAST. But those droid were faster then fast!

All and all I thoroughly dislike 1.2. Seems they needed to suck the last little bit of fun out of the game....at least for me.

Maybe they realized how op mar/sents were and decided to fix something they should have never done.

Good you just explained that now they might have time to fix it,i always try to find buggs and i find alot of buggs what you should do is report them not exploit them. And also it's a new fresh mmo it takes time to fix be patient.

I'm with you, sir.

I hopped onto the test server when 1.2 hit a month back, and I came across so many bugs I had to leave. I never went back, and hoped that all those bugs would be gone by the time it hit live. I spent the last month grinding my pvp up to Battlemaster, thinking it'd be worth something. Now 1.2 hits, it's still buggy as heck, and all those thousands of warzone commendations that I used to buy Cent, Champ and BM gear was for nothing.
I was going to be a Decemberist, but I waited too long.
