1.3 eta?

Yup. I think I want to play it now just out of general principle after waiting this long for it.

Sure for whatever percentage of the whole is into open world PvP. I have a feeling, though, that's not that big a percentage. Could be wrong but I don't think that really big fans of OWPvP flocked to SWTOR to begin with. It was not marketed as a game with a huge focus on that like GW2 is.

I think early to mid-summer is when 1.3 will hit. Perhaps towards the end of June.
I hope they are working on including paid services like appearance re-customization and factions changes as a feature of 1.3.

I'm guessing late may or early june The next couple of content updates will be smaller than 1.2. If I remember correctly they are working hard at both 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5. So to me it sounds like 1.5 will be the next major update

My opinion.. 1.3 has no eta. Tor in a year or so may be good but it's very lackluster and bland right now aside from class story. I've unsubbed and handed my guild over. I've preordered Tera after truly loving the combat and open world pvp. Diablo 3 is also just a fun game. Gw 2 I've been interested in for pvp as I played high ranked pvp in gw1 but I've not yet preordered. Talk will always be of new games and new features and what game will kill what, play what you like. Tor at this time isn't for a lot of people, move on.. You can always revisit it.

My predictions:

Guild Wars 2 has no tanks and healers. For that reason alone, I'm sure a decent number of MMO players will feel hesitant to buy it. I've never had the desire to play as a damage-dealer in any game. SWTOR was also the first MMO to make tanking viable in PvP (barring the recent 1.2 patch balance issues). GW2 is also yet another fantasy MMO, and since SWTOR is one of the very few successful sci-fi MMO's, a very large and loyal playerbase will be staying here. Especially die-hard Star Wars fans.

Everyone's going to buy Diablo 3, but it's not really a game that replaces an MMO. After you've beaten it a few times and tried the different characters, it's more the sort of thing you jump into if you have 10-30 minutes to spare and don't want to boot up an MMO which you usually play with friends in larger time chunks.

Mock this guy if you like, but he's right about PvP. SWTOR has LESS PvP content now than it did at release. GW2 WILL appeal to some players here. I had NO interest in it prior to 1.2, I remained hopeful that Bioware would FIX PvP...instead, they removed it and replaced it with warzones As much as I've openly mocked GW2 in the past, if the PvP is as great as I hear it is, it will impact this game and my PvP server.

As for 1.3...I hope they finish releasing 1.2 first...

Honestly? While I'm not going to ***** about the content released in 1.2, I am a little saddened by the lack of anything really "solid". We got some pretty emotes and flashy PvE skills, and the ability to use a race on any class... As long as you've made it to lvl 50 or have an extra 1.5mil credits to waste. Either way, it has some cool stuff, and I enjoyed it for about 2 days. I didn't get to play the lvl 50 content, as I can't seem to force myself to finish out the grind from lvl 41.

I already sent in my Cancel Subscription form, with the reasoning that when they decide to give a couple races that aren't humans with colorful skin, I'll come back.

Annnyyywwhhooo.... I, in the beginning, was one of the ones who said "This game is gonna be great!" and "It can't possibly die, too many SW fans!", but seeing some of the issues that have more than a couple of people upset about them (Whether you think it's an issue or not) and seeing some of the games that are due this year? GW2 (Haven't looked into it, never liked the GW system for classes) is supposed to be good on the PvP, D3 (Eh... You're right isn't an MMORPG, but it'll catch attention for a while), and if the PvP and grind through levels while clicking on your number keys isn't good enough to keep you entertained? Well then.. Planetside 2 is coming out, as well... as a f2p game, and has already been promised to be "F2P, not P2W".

Anyway you look at it... They have a lot of good competition coming up, and a lot of already bored or upset customers. (And in game content isn't the ONLY thing upsetting some of them..)

Are you honestly complaining about a lack of content in 1.2 and then immediately admitting that you haven't experienced ANY of the added content?
