Speak for yourself. I rarely get lag and/or bugs.

I am kinda wondering if that page got posted on accident, or if there has been some sort of miscommunication, because we have seen zero dev posts about it...or well about anything...seems like maybe they are scrambling around trying to find answers before they say anything.

You would have thought they would have hyped it up a bit more.

Also I would really appreciate a response to the request for clarification of Damion Schubert's comment that made it sound like SWTOR was going to be pay to win for end game PvE and/or PvP before I agree to spend any more money on this game...
Unsubscribed due to no new Operations.
I am happy that there will be a renewed focus on story, I love story, its why I picked this MMO. But I picked an MMO, not an episodic single player RPG that I have to pay a subscription to receive the episodes.

What i find distressing is they give subscribers only three weeks to decide if we want to buy the expansion at a discount. Expansion releases in no less then four months, there are absolutely no details and i have to decide? Looks like they just want to extort some money before most leave this game again.

Im not going to buy it. Playing roultette is not me.

Giving us no choice but to go to 1 new zone and burn out on its limited content then rinse and repeat again a year later. Had the same issue with LOTRO and left. Please scale all the flashpoint, ops, and endgame zones to 55 so we aren't bored within a month of release. If you want to keep subs you should give people more content to do along side the previous by keep the old relevant as well.

it was just an initial announcement...

There is going to be a whole lot more info coming over the rest of winter and the crescendo will build until release day. They are not going to open up the flood gates this early and certainly are not going to pop the whole marketing budget on the first announcement when people are distracted with Christmas, planning , new years amongst other things.

well if they expect me to preorder they need to tell me what the deal actually is first.

I think they should have waited a bit before posting it up. I am unimpressed by the lack of info on "other features". In addition, I see Spring 2013 and I wonder how many features of worth that they could get done in time.

$10 (or $20 if you wait) for 1 planet and 5 levels (possibly a couple of FPs and an Op). Meh.

I get lag on fleet if things are really busy..but thats about it. I thought i had some lag on Tatooine a few times until i forgot i didn't enable triple buffering with vsync in my Nvidia driver options. Its been pretty much butter smooth fps rate since then and my ping stays very stable. As for bugs..no more then i see in other mmo's i play, some have more and some have less.. its not a perfect world and i don't expect perfection.

I've been a huge defender of this game. I gave the F2P model the benefit of the doubt and thought they implemented it in a fairly unobtrusive fashion (I ignore the cartel market completely).

However, I've stated if I ever land on a planet and am asked for my credit card to complete a mission I'm out.

I really don't like the sound of this. I hope this pack can be purchased with the cartel coins I'm not using...

QFT...I've been here since beta and hear about all these bugs and lag and yet very, very rarely deal with any of these so called issues!?!?
