Patch 1.2 is out.

[caladein]

Yeah, that's really looking great.

The only thing I would add would be having attaching/aligning interface elements together and setting manual offsets instead of just dragging things around.  Hopefully I can easily edit the XML file to clean things up.

This is pretty slick, Im going to spend the first 2 hours on 1.2 day setting this shit up lol

[Minvaren]

Bit nebulous at this point, but it appears next week sometime for 1.2 is not out of the question.

[Sky]

I sure hope so, I'm itching to play but almost everything I want to do is improved with 1.2, so why would I bother playing before then? I even got a 'Mako misses you, Komoto' email 

[Minvaren]

Me myself, I am farming mats in anticipation of the RE changes.

That seems to have everything I could have asked for, including saving profiles to load onto all my characters.   

Does anyone know if you will be able to use hotkeys on hidden bars finally?

[Koyasha]

I believe yes.  Not completely sure on that, but mostly sure.

[bhodi]

It was announced for next week at PAX.

So no patch today. It could be later this week but lots of people on my server were expecting it for this Tuesday and they canceled between last night and today when it became official it wasn't going to happen. That was after another streak of nights with close to no WZ starting. I'm sure the Biowares are doing their best, but I seldom noticed a "bleeding" of subscriptions as much as this time around. Every day seems to count, and there's only a set limits of wasted nights in a row some players can tolerate.

Not that 1.2 will fix much, we all know that in order to fix the problem server mergers and cross-server queues are needed. But the patch will certainly bring back a few players, while the lack of it is literally bleeding the game to death.

Heh. I love mmo players.

Seriously the only ppl that claimed it was coming this week were some of the SWTOR sites that misheard or misread the info and put it all out there.

[Falconeer]

Yes to all, but you are missing the point where, in a subscription based game, you are paying for something you are actually unable to play due to slow patching/fixing/expanding of some poorly implemented features. The people I'm talking about are not ragequitting. They are not paying anymore because all the game is offering them _at the moment_ is "Star Wars Republic Fleet - The 3D chat". The patch is necessary to justify money at this time, and to give people a reason, any reason, to keep logging in.

[Sky]

Ok?

[Falconeer]

Yeah, I was mostly venting MY frustration. Maybe because I didn't cancel

If you insist on making yourself miserable playing a game you don't like the fashionable thing to do is to play non-stop multiplayer Mass Effect 3 looking for a particular reward.

[Fordel]

A lot of people are stuck in pre-patch limbo, usually those who need their ding grats progression to have fun.

This is excellent advice.

[Nevermore]

1.2 hits tomorrow night.

[tazelbain]

So funny that SWTOR might actually be less commercially successful than SWG.  Not that that would vindicate Sim Beru or the nuking of said Sim Beru, twice. Just that SWTOR has a lot red ink to overcome.

[Ingmar]

1.2 hits tomorrow night.

10 PM Pacific time tomorrow night they take stuff down, their maintenance times are really strange.

Ahahahaha! This totally made me laugh out loud.

The funny thing to me is that they cancelled, but their paid time won't run out until after 1.2 is live anyways.

[Falconeer]

Yeah some commented on that, but I think their point was to send a "Fuck this shit I'm out" message (while not canceling sends the "Alright guys I know it's tough I'll support you and patiently wait for patch" message) to EA-Bioware, and make sure the sub didn't auto-renew out of distraction.

[Fordel]

Canceling is the only actual means of telling a MMO to actually fix its shit. To be fair.

[ajax34i]

Cancelled in March (expired on 3/20).  Waiting until a few days pass after they release 1.2, and for a BIIF (but is it fixed?) report from you guys.  Specifically on whether I (or the CSR's) can get rid of stuck quests.  Then I'll resub, maybe.

This makes me feel like that dog in the Larson cartoon waiting for the cat to step into the washing machine... "oh please, oh please".

I dunno, how much did SWG make catering to the autistic demographic?

So they announced today that ranked warzones arent going to make it in 1.2 tomorrow but down the road and the intended gear from them will be obtainable via another way which they dont tell you :P


"It is with great reluctance that I have to announce Ranked Warzones are not going live with Game Update 1.2: Legacy. We had a fantastic run of testing on the Public Test Server and I can’t begin to thank the community enough for their tireless advocacy for this feature and the time people took to file bugs and voice their concerns.

After careful consideration, it is clear that to make Ranked Warzones the feature we all want it to be is going to take a bit more time. I apologize for any disappointment this may cause and ask for your patience as we work to make sure the Ranked Warzone Preseason launch is polished and fun. With Legacy, the new Warzone, Operation, and Flashpoint, as well as many other amazing features of Game Update 1.2 ready to go, we're very excited for tomorrow's additions.

In the future we'll be rolling the Ranked Warzone Preseason out in phases, listening carefully to player feedback and making adjustments as we go. The first phase will be full team, eight-player queuing only and from there we'll look at next steps as Preseason progresses. In the meantime we have provided an alternate purchase route for War Hero gear so you can start building your set while figuring out your teams."

[Nevermore]

This makes me very happy.  Ranked Warzones without cross server queuing would have been terrible on those servers with smaller PvP populations, especially with the original plan of filling the ranked WZ with people who queued for an unranked match if there weren't enough people queuing for a ranked match.

[Fordel]

Yea, I really wasn't looking forward to having 8 man teams rolling pugs and junk.

[Shatter]

Agreed, que times are too long on a lot of servers so splitting off any pvpers to ranked Warzones was a stupid idea.

[Minvaren]

And so....  It begins.

(waits for patch)

[Evildrider]

I'd rather they put solo q's in before 8 man.  I have been screwed out of my 8 man warzone team.

[Minvaren]

Wow, they weren't kidding about the "up to 1GB" of patches for 1.2, were they?
