picturing my trooper in that tshirt made me laugh, I havent seen what the 'dread guard' gear actually looks like but judging by the games track record I'm sure your right. The unify colors feature for companions is great but like many other things in this game, it should have been there at release, to little to late to bring me back.
10 months ago I would have been OMG!!! Now I just drive by the train wreck and don't even peek.
Dread Guard Gear looks exactly like Campaign gear except they changed the colour.

I so want that t-shirt crayon armor. Thanks for today's Hearty Laugh of the Day.
All I get is page not found, even after logging in.
Anyway, they are definitely in maintenance mode now.
they are adding a new raid, but this is a hardly a set of features to be excited about. Improved group finder is something any other company would either patch overnight or do as a minor thing over next weeks maintenence.
This game still exists with a Dev staff?
Jeesus marry and joseph !!!! Is this game still being aloud to dissapoint !!! Love the t-shirt armour comment.
Im still not coming back unles they make the game alot like swg and exactly like swg space.
EA YOU WANKERS!!!! There is no way on this earth bioware would get somethibg of this magnitude so wrong! Its susposed to be a fecking starwars game nor some trade off of that rather sil old republic game , THIS GAME SHOULD B E OFF LINE

"What is this? The N64?"
(... I gotta admit, I am enjoying bashing BW and SWToR way too much considering the amount of actually enjoyable gameplay I got out of it back then ... I guess it's basically a clinch with the design team for me ... all that wasted potential.)

Errrrrrr.... nope.
Group Finder patches are especially trying to the developers. Any feature that is responsible for mediating gameplay between players is. (See GW2 also missing a group finder at launch... but over there it's a little less harsh because of PvE on-the-fly grouping)

ROFL, now anybody can express their anger on lack of chat bubbles. The problem is, noone else will notice it.
Not much of an update, it doesnt even seem right calling this 1.4.
Sometimes i wonder if anyone at Bioware or EA actually play thier own game. Someone really needs to get a grip of this game and make it what is expected of game fit to have the star wars tag.
Just a few things off the top of my head...
Smugglers need to be able to.....smuggle stuff.
Bounty hunters need to ......hunt bountys, ie smugglers doing the smuggling or bumping off people from other guilds. less of the entire world instances like balmorra for the reps and tython is for the imps. Totally instanced worlds where you never get to meet the opposition.
Force wielders need to be able to start thier own empires, capture thier own territory and form alliances and declare war against other guilds. They also need to be able to team up wthi other classes to do this, the smullglers to move kit (smuggle) between player owned territory.
People need to have more free form space shenanigans, moving resources from plaet to planet to have an impact on player owned space.
EA and Bioware, do this and you will start to win back the masses. Every star wars nut in the gaming world will sit up and take notice. They will come back to see whats new, then you can work on that and start to turn this game around.
Scuse my typos, writing this from work on my lunch break, very quickly.
