We could use a NON-vague 'roadmap' that tells us what we can expect this year. Not "more fun stuff planned", specifics...like even GSH - we don't know jack about it. Nothing about how it's decorated, nothing about how they work...or guild ships...or this end of the year thing...This game could use some excitement in lieu of content...at least then, we'd know what the hell we're waiting for.

Bioware needs to stop treating this MMO like it's a freaking birthday party and more like it is what it is, entertainment!!!
Feel free to do what most other people here do: Invent what you expect them to release and then act all mad when that's not what they do.

I don't even remember stating which content I wanted truth be told, if any but rather the LACK OF CONTENT OVERALL, compared to 2013.

In other words - yet again - you're confused.

Also, more character slots is "not content" and that's actually the only thing you can accuse(?) me of asking for.

and with Wildstar coming out this weekend, swtor will be even worse. Many will go play that until housing or whatever it is they will dump on us here in Aug, but i bet it gets pushed back again. Thats how they make more money of the subs. Give us some lame pet for being subbed on such date, whatever.

If we hit December and the released content isn't as plentiful as it was in 2013, then you've got grounds to complain.

But, complaining that we haven't gotten as much content in 2014 as we did in 2013...and we're not even halway through 2014...is disingenuous. Honestly, you're jumping the gun.

After all, we 'all' already know that we've got two expansions coming in the second half of 2014, so why freak out over the lack of content right 'now'? Am I the only one who recognizes that all MMOs have their slow periods where they're coasting down from one expansion to the next? Is this shocking to some people? Are they not aware of how the MMO system works when it comes to expansions and content release?

Do I need to break out the diagrams?

I think a good idea would be to remove the cap on characters and not have to get unlocks for it.

Again, sorry you're not getting what you want. But, as stated previously, we ARE getting content. There is no way to dispute that. It may not be as much as you want. It may not be as much as I want. But it has still been steadily trickling out, as it always has. And the second half of this year seems like it will pick up the pace.

Patience.

No disrespect but I fail to see who made you Deacon to establish the guidelines when it comes to whatever criticism I may - or may not - throw around, concerning how Bioware runs the game.

I merely pointed out that by this time, in 2013 we had gotten Makeb, which included S&V. By August, we got CZ-198 which consisted of two Flashpoints and one new daily area.

Right now, we do know that before 2.9 hits, nothing truly NEW - outside a one-click kind of event - will be introduced in the meantime.

In other words - yet again - I fail to see how I'm possibly doing a disservice(?) by comparing specific time periods of this game's life.

I know absolutely nothing, because Bioware chooses not to share whatever plans it may have for the game in advance, most likely because they're not entirely sure if they can deliver the goods.

That's not good in my book, especially when compared to that behemoth named WoW, which - BTW(!) - has an expansion named, dated and priced I believe.

TOR doesn't have a single(!!!) one of those. Achievement unlocked?

You only need to be less condescending towards others who think differently; It may be hard but it would do you good.

Patience comes with a price. In this case, my price is disclosure, which Bioware pretty much fails to address. How is even possible that we know absolutely NOTHING about 3.0 by now?

Makeb was officially unveiled almost a full year(!) before it was finally released. I sincerely don't understand, nor have I heard of any other MMO who adheres to this kind of cloak-and-dagger BS.

Not that I'm that knowledgeable in the subject anyway.

That would be asking too much, Reno.

I'm waiting till August to see what happens next, but I can understand if others are less inclined to wait and would not fault them if they wanted to leave.

No one made me anything, but if you sit at the halfway mark and complain about how you're not getting as much as you did over the length of the entire previous year, no one's going to take you seriously. Why should they?

Also, screw WoW. They're probably the 'worst' MMO producer out there right now. They released their last patch in September of 2013 and haven't released ANYTHING ELSE OF ANY KIND since then and have said that they won't be releasing ANYTHING ELSE OF ANY KIND until a couple of months before their winter-release of their next expansion.

In short, they're making their players go a full year without any new content of any kind whatsoever. Nothing. At all. And that's at 'least' a year.

Compared to WoW, TOR is a frickin content-releasing machine.

Also, you're being ridiculous when you suggest that BW is hedging its bets regarding content release. Ridiculous. As in, not worth taking seriously.

I say this so that you can maybe dial back the rhetoric and maybe not be written off as a Chicken Little.
