Last night I was with a World Boss raid to kill the new Boss in the FFA PVP area on Tatooine, and our Republic raid zerged the other Rep. players over and over to get the World Boss for us, hrhr. They were allies, but... in that place it didn't matter! XD

Haha, well at least they finally figured out how to get some open world PvP going, even if it wasn't intended, right?  ;)

They also figured out a way to keep Elikal (as well as some others) playing a game that he trashes. I'd call that a sucess. ;)

Lol. Well, it's partially boredom. I cancelled my TERA preorder, after 3 beta weekends I felt it wasn't my thing. And TSW is still away. So I felt, why the heck not. I never though swtor is all bad. ;)

Commenting on MMOs is like raising kids. "Who loves his kids won't spare them the spank." or so the Holy Bible says. It's all about beating sense into people. Being nice never makes anyone get better.

Good job Bioware/EA somehing I was looking to see,

Question does this happen everywhere or only certaint places my friend might resub if  it can lead to more things happening.

Also how varied or is it only on rhakghuls or something?

Theres the two flashpoints that deal with the story, and new dailies seem to be added in each day for the event. Today there is a new one which give the gloves to the event set, yesterday it was the boots. It seems as this will keep increasing in scale, which is fine by me, I have a lot of green-black crystals and mini pets to get. 

it also appears that every day you do the event dailies you may unlock a new one.people found a daily today that wasnt there yesterday. it provides the next piece of containment social gear (containment gloves). the theory is that when you the new daily, it will unlock one the next day that will have the next piece of gear until the set is complete. for those completionists or codex addicts out there, there are currently 9 codex entries for the event, 6 from the daily quest(with possibly more to come if indeed more quests are unlocked) and 3 from the world bosses(2 which are new)

one thing i think is pretty cool, is the infected companion appearance kits.  some can be seen here:

oh and dont forget to do the hidden quest to get this little guy for a pet ;)

edit: oh and remember to be careful when entering ship hangers if you are infected ;)

Where is the hidden quest for that guy? I thought the only pet was off the vendor.

Too little too late, stuff like this is not going to salvage their game.

What else will if not adding interesting content?

I guess just give up.  I mean, if the game isn't 100% perfect, even with over a million subscribers, might as well just pack it in and call it a day, instead of trying to improve it.  That's what I learned on these boards, at least.

Alight thanks for the information my friend is going to resub, to try it out.

I might joing in depending on how far they going with this.

I guess they still have ~ half a year as a time window.

Neither Tera nor TSW nor even Pandaria will be a real threat. Tera will not be the uber hit, TSW ppl are reluctant (justified or not, it is Funcom & an unusual setting, so I don't see a million crowd) and even WOW Pandaria has not the appeal as past expansions. Some will try it out 1-2 months, but I think that will be it.

The real test are GW2 and maybe to a degree the sleeper hit Neverwinter by the end of the year. So it kinda hinges on how much Bioware can add within half a year.

Good points on all counts. IF they can do some things that promote decent open PVP I'd be back, I was pretty surprised hearing about how they planted that new boss.

Friendly bump to the front page. 

Why aren't you investigating the crash site right now?

they have have given an end date for the event:

JovethGonzalez General Discussion -> Attention Citizens: The Rakghoul Plague Outbreak

Attention citizens:

We are happy to announce that we are starting to make progress in the neutralization of the Rakghoul Plague Outbreak. It is our hope that the outbreak will be completely contained by April 24th at 2AM CDT (12AM PDT/3AM EDT/8AM BST/9AM CEST/5PM AEST). Citizens have until this time to completely avoid Tatooine and to not engage in investigations of suspicious wreckage on its surface.

Thank you.

not only will I completely avoid Tatooine, I'll completely avoid SWTOR even beyond the 24th.
