Patch 1.2

[Fortypopper]

a few of the larger land speeders are being removed from the game, not all of them though.

 

I hope the big ones that are always coverering the PVP terminals are removed lol

[Taak Farst]

Anyone know if you can add companions to your legacy? I kinda want to have Ashara as my Assassin's spouse?

[Lynk Former]

You can't add companions or characters created by other players to your family tree

[Pho3nix]

I have to say the UI customization tool is pretty confusing... I'm gonna have to tweak the **** out of it to make it look like the default WoW UI

[Lynk Former]

It is confusing at first but it'll start making sense after awhile... also, for folks who haven't seen, we have a thread where you can share your custom interfaces: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=209972

You are one of our most active and valued high level players and we know you have been waiting patiently for Game Update 1.2: Legacy. To show our appreciation, check out all the great new features this update has to offer-on us. We will be adding an additional 30 days of game time to your account at no charge.

 

I'm one of the most active and valued - who knew? I guess that means all their other 50s quit?

I guess not, I'm also guessing it isn't so special either since I recieved the same email. 30 days and a Tauntaun Ram Pet*, I'm honored.

[adamqd]

Its to stop all the 50's quiting after the ranked warzones went poof for the update, all alt-aholics (Who dont have 50's) arent being given free time.

[DarthParametric]

I just found the "most active" thing kind of hilarious seeing as I haven't logged in for nigh on 2 months.

[Lynk Former]

Was wondering where you were, after awhile I just assumed you had unsubscribed and was done with the game entirely.

[DarthParametric]

Got bored levelling the Inquisitor, and the guild was mostly off playing Republic. Plus I had work and such to deal with. Cancelled my sub, but I'd bought 6 months worth, so I still have a valid account until the end of June. Or end of July now I guess with the free month. I figured I'd wait until 1.2 came out and poke my nose back in for a look. Doesn't sound like anything terribly exciting, although it seems there are a few things that would have been handy to have at launch.

[adamqd]

Its all gone Boom if you didn't know btw. Someone deleted whole areas of the game so they gotta rebuild some stuff lol.

[DarthParametric]

Yeah I saw some post on Twitter saying that the guild banks were wiped out along with millions of credits. Some happy campers on the official forums no doubt.

[adamqd]

Its a Cluster-f of biblical proportions over there man, There will be some blood and tears for Bioware over the next few days.

[mimartin]

HAHAHAHAHA...I fronted Lynk the money for the guild bank and deposited 20K.

 

Guess I really do need to start doing dailies religiously again.

 

I'm just worried about my trooper, level 38 and I saved her in a unsafe area last night.

[adamqd]

Whats annoyed me the most is the mod transfer system... I dont care about legacy warzones or banks, but I spent 500k taking my mods out of my BM set, only to realise that Bioware couldn't get the pre- 1.2 armor sets to transfer set bonuses to the oranges.. LOL!!!!! I was upset to say the least. They have since come out and said "Well there was a post in the Test forums saying this" What? I dont go there lol, thats baaaad customer relations.

 

also if you logged out in the Corellia daily area... your character doesnt exist anymore... lol

[DarthParametric]

I still can't wrap my head around how they seemingly bomb every patch deployment. How does this stuff get through testing?

[adamqd]

They have yes-men and fanboys testing it. I remember being in beta.. People weren't testing stuff, they were just getting attached to their toons and trying to put a stop to the Weekend tests disrupting their game time.

[DarthParametric]

That's public testing (which, agreed, is mostly useless). They also have internal QA though, and I imagine with the money involved it must be pretty sizable.

[mimartin]

Remembers Lynk spent some time on the public testing for patch 1.2 and in the beta.

[Lynk Former]

They make save stats of the server data for every server before the implement each patch. All of what we did will be back once they fix the environmental rollback that occured.

 

Basically while many of the systems were 1.2, legacy, custom ui, etc, the environment glitched and rolledback to 1.1.5 which meant no blackhole, no novare coast, no changes made to the environment post 1.1.5.

 

So whatever whining people have building up needs to get chilled. Sure, 8-9 hours gone, but maybe folks can spend that time eating, sleeping, doing something else, interacting with another human being instead of obviously spending 100% of it on swtor.

 

And since this is such a huge screw up, maybe we'll get something nice out of it, a custom speeder? I don't know.

Everybody is getting 1 full day of free game time... lol

[adamqd]

plus a chance to win the full size Darth Malgus statue from the conventions! (Worth $6,000)

[Lynk Former]

Not very glamorous, but fair. No matter what they did or gave, people would've bitched about it till the cows started producing chocolate and strawberry flavoured milk.

 

Also, the public testing was useful considering quite a few of the strange bugs that were in PTS didn't make it to the final build. Of course somewhere someone did drop the ball on this patch but they're working to fix it.

 

If I'm sounding a little defensive about this it's only because you get sick of seeing whiney little *******s whine about every ****ing thing that every could possibly go wrong on the official forum and still whine about it even if it's right or awesome.

 

No constructive comments anywhere, just "waaaah, waaaaah"... holy ****, i mean, sure you paid for the game, but constructive comments are more helpful and can lead to better support than "waaaah, waaaaah".

[adamqd]

We all have as much investment as anyone, I just think Bioware are doing a ****ing **** job lately. we are all entitled to an opinion.

 

"Its ok Bioware, we still love you" isn't helping anyone. I admit most "Bitching ****ing whiners" as you keep calling them are far from constructive at times, but a point is being made none the less.
