Gameplay? Not a lot (unless it's as dark as EQ1 was in 1999), but neither do many things like colour crystals, races, DS looks or orange gear etc. etc..


Game experience? An infinate improvement.

Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

Not likely. If they could sell it to you in a cash shop, you would probably see it soon. Its not something they can charge extra for and its too hard for them to program.
James Ohlen: " For 2012 we really want players to feel like they're getting their money's worth. You're going to see so many changes and additions to the Star Wars Universe. It's going to be impressive. We have our Update 1.2 coming in the next week and then after that it's going to continue to roll out month after month. It's exciting."

Probably never. Its been pointed out a 1000 times the planets are a certain cut of time. The engine, lighting, etc was never designed with dynamic weather. It would be a major overhaul to do so. Its not like they can go "POOF" and dynamic weather.

If you think dynamic weather will make or break this game...I'm not sure what to say. Its trivial in the bigger scheme. Yes, your request is trivial.

/kill it with fire, necro thread.

This is a time consuming process and would require a huge effort to change.
If you love it when people say it, then why complain when they do? It isn't hard. Just very time consuming, and no resources to do it. Therefore the cycles will not happen. That and the game engine is CRAP!

Necccrrrooooomancer. I'm going to start calling Ducky the Necromancer. Seems he picked up right where he left off before he quit the firs time.

I couldn't care less about day, night, or weather. Fix the bugs and give us new content. In the off chance all of that is finished, pull in the dates for the Secret Space Program.

That's like saying colour crystals won't make or break a game......... they won't, but everything adds up.

They've already said that they can't just add day/night to planets already in-game. That being said, they've never said their engine couldn't handle it for future planets.
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.
