Well, at least the "second try" of implementing it was ok I guess.

Seems like it got a bit messy when it escaped too early the first time. 

Holy crap, people. So much negativity.

Are you seriously comparing the technology avialable for WoW in 2004 compared to the one SWTOR has in 2012 in regards to patching and server stability? You do know that server technology advances, and things become easier and more stable over time? 

 

I just find it funny how so many TOR fans compare it to 2004's WoW, trying to put TOR in a positive light. That's like saying "kudos to Verizon for having 3G compared to AT&T's mobile internet speed 10 years ago." Compare 2012 TOR with 2012 WoW. 

He's right.  Forget about this game now and come back in 2020 when it might be good.  That is if you can find anybody else to play it with.

some folks may not like it, but you will not find a thread on this site that speaks overwhelmingly positive about this game.  You will see the three or four apologists and whiteknights still waving the ToR banner, but other than that it's a no-go. If people want to see positive posts about ToR it would be a good idea to head over to the official forums, but ever since the bait and switch late yesterday, it hasn't been too friendly there either.

Those are just a few issues the fans are posting.  No patch to an mmo is ever flawless.   Heck most patches in general are not.   Swtor is no exception.

Still no acceptable group finding tool. Still don't care. I'll play when I don't have to spam LFG ever again.

I agree, I think the lack of a LFG tool is a real weak spot in the game IMO.

I no longer play swtor for other reasons, but this is the single most asinine complaint about the game.

The game does have a LFG tool.  It works fine.  Just people are too stupid to use it.

What it does not have is a LFD tool.  Which if people werent stupid/lazy wouldnt remotely be an issue.

Its sad when developers are trashed because they dont put in concepts that cater to the lowest common denominator.

My first impressions of Patch 1.2 were not positive. While I appreciate the improved character textures,  I had a real beef with the legacy system.  I thought the point of legacy levels was to allow us to gain access to certain abilities through continued  play, be it with a main character or an alt.  Well, that's not exactly how it works.  We all knew there was going to be insanely high credit restrictions on things like the in-ship GTN or the in-ship repair droid, but what is absolutely awful is the restrictions on unlocking races.  If you wanted to create a Sith Pureblood Jedi, you are required to either play a Sith Pureblood to level 50 or purchase the right to use the race on the Republic side for one and a half million credits.  This is the same for purchasing any unlockable race.  Your actually legacy level plays a very miniscule part in your ability to unlock said features.

I think I can see right through what they're trying to do with the legacy system.  It honestly feels to me like a cheap ploy to make rolling an alt feel like a unique game feature or basically actual in-game content instead of adding more meaty additions to engame like more story content, flashpoints, or raid zones.

I'll try the one singular flashpoint we were given later tonight, and hopefully I enjoy it a bit more.

Just saw that the game is being brought down tonight for patching... guess it wasn't implemented perfectly after all. LOL

Someone get the OP back in here to explain the flawless nature of the patch again atm ?

You might not like what's in it, but with what they added (a lot), the patch was added perfectly.  WoW couldn't add anything without crashing all the servers for hours/days when the game was this new.  Kudos to Bioware....they seem to actually CARE about making this game better!

it deployed flawlessly TODAY, but it did NOT deploy flawlessly YESTERDAY.

@ OP

Unfortunately, the bioware/swtor haters here are on their mindset no matter what. It make no difference at all what you post, if its positive at all they will slime it.

You'll just wind up frustrated if you have anything good to say, so best off staying away and play the game if you enjoy it.

I for one could never understand how i could finish a session in an mmo, having a great time, then come to these forums and read posts about how bad the game was. I guess thats why they've coined the phrase..."haters gonna hate"

Im glad they managed to update to 1.2 but it's too late for me now.

Diablo 3 is coming gw2 and secret world are on the way.I dont think ill resub because i wanted the game to be playable from the beggining.

Patced new bugs into game better then most patches.

Er? How is locking thousands of people out of the game entirely due to a bug in the patch flawless? What are you smoking?

you have absolutely 0 chance of starting a thread in this forum without it being trolled by someone about why they hate the game so much.  Look at what has been said about giving away playtime to much of it's playerbase

MMORPG tends to be cynical(understatement of the year).  This forum will call out the BS, and right now, we are staring @ a pile of it a mile high. 

You see, we've been down this road before.   We've already walked this path, many of us, more times than we'd like to admit, and this path always winds up @ the Abyss. Where MMOs go to die deaths of server consolidation, poor management, padded subscription numbers, and general failure. 

We are watching the largest MMO train in history about to slam into the wall of no return.  All they did today was lay a little more track, but at some point, the chickens are gonna come home to roost. 

Sure there are plenty of general "haters," but by in large it's folks that have been here before. 

We already know how this story ends.

Great point.  And to everyone mentioning the maintenence for today...by flawlessly I was referring to the fact that it went a lot smoothly than previous patches from previous games I had encountered.  I was trying to point out that Bioware did a good job with such a large patch (not great...I'll call it good) plus it was their first one!  Yes the following patch is annoying, but it's one day later.....they didn't waste any time working on fixes for the bugs that ensued. 

I apologize for trying to be hopeful on the future of a game I enjoy playing.

Guess he spoke a little to soon.
