Today Bioware deployed a patch making the game unplayable to those affected until 1.2 goes live tomorrow. In response they have begun closeing and deleting posts on their forums. Their Tier 2 Technical Support hung up on one of our guild members when he asked to speak to a supervisor.
The instructions they provide are false and there is no way to bypass the patching once it begins. They are trying to say only a small number of people are affected, but clearly it is much wider spread than they will acknowledge.

Their solution now is to uninstall the game, reinstall and patch. This is the only way these players can play until the launch of 1.2. |

Ouch. Perhaps they should have tested it first. "Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever." - Noam Chomsky |

Maybe go do something else for a night.[Mod Edit] Your life will be better for a temporary shut down than playing the game for 5 or 6 hours when they shut it down for the patch anyway. |

Sums up Bioware, this is the Jebus patch and they can't help dropping an oil lamp in the corner of the stable.

Considering how badly this is being handled today, I can't wait to see how bad they screw it up tomorrow. |

Where's the news story MMORPG.com, it's not like you not to be right on top of a SWTOR related story.

Eh all the hate on bioware, great development house, arrogant devs thou I will agree, but starwars is a good game, sadly I didn't get the months and months I thought I would out of the title (its missing that special something) , but in the end still a good game. Being their very first MMO ever done, I have to say not to shabby at all, at launch it was probably the most stable and less bug riddon MMO I have played to date. Not to shabby , thou again it didn't keep me interested. This messup is pretty bad thou, a slight over look seems more like a bad botched mess. As far as reports going out about it, it just happened. People in the media are people, they don't just follow games you love to pick on for your own amusment. There are many titles to be followed daily. Eh, if you ask me, way to many and not enough quality ones. Want to design your own coasters, flat rides and more? Always wanted that dream Theme Park? Look no further! |

Really?.. This is a big deal?. Shit happens in games all the time. I've uninstalled and re-installed games so many times for reasons both caused and not caused by the game itself. It sucks..but it happens. Seriously...why do most of you negative posters care? Aren't you the ones that are saying nobody's playing SWTOR anyway? So it can't be that big an issue..right? |
