  • Shawn Hargrave

    Free-to-play players can now chat freely in Groups and Guilds. (wow how generous of them lol)

    • Paulo Gomes

      Loooool…

    • AbnerDoon

      I suppose we should be happy they didn’t treat chat like the credit limit message.

      You are very close to reaching the 350 letter chat limit!

      • Levi Morandi

        Would have been cool to be able to have 1 mil credits as a F2P and 2 as a preferred status.

        • AbnerDoon

          That limit is something that should have been changed long ago. With credit inflation and years of rising GTN prices 250k to 350k can’t even buy you a Rodian mayonnaise sandwich.

          This is one of those things they hang onto even though the workarounds are already there. Use legacy storage and pass credits to a friend. Or use someones referral link every 90 days to go shopping for a week and get what you need.

  • Disqus this

    Given that patch there is still no reason to return to swtor. bioware really needs to get some content worth repeating in this game and while a new PVP map is a start. It simply not enough.

    • AbnerDoon

      How many other MMO’s put out two Ops bosses (left over from 2017) a FP a PVP map and a SH in one year? Make that two PVP maps as of tomorrow.

      How can other MMO’s even compete with a content storm like that?

  • vincent

    Loooool…

  • Need2Crash

    wasnt this crits being shielded mentioned months back? I login to to the game today first time in while, and logged out 5 min later, my guild is gone they all left to wow, and the server is dead,

    • Damn. Wow ain’t better, but it’s something. Hell I left B4A after a month because I don’t feel like leveling another toon, artifact, and getting the newest stat-quished items as they drag out the releases over a 4-5 month period like they did with Legion. I’m a try ESO or go back to Final Fantasy as a main MMO I’m tired of both of them

  • Adam Haynes

    This was exactly the kind of definitive answer I was looking for from SWTOR. I can now officially say that I’ll spend all my creds during the 2CXP week and then I’m canceling my subscription. I hardly log in any more, my Guild is dead, there’s no new content and basically they have made clear that they have no intention of giving us any further reason to keep playing. I’ll keep it on my desktop for when PSN is down for maintenance.

    • AbnerDoon

      I did that right before my sub ran out at the start of the last 2X event. It’s better at this point to have some fun with all those hoarded credits.

  • John Kosto

    Amazing class changes, cannot wait to try all my characters in the new operations and flashpoints that will be released tomorrow!

    • “Keith”

      Glad you like them enjoy and keep buying tons of CM stuff. =)

  • AbnerDoon

    Someone needs to explain summer to the team. Because this was supposed to be the Summer of PVP! Yet it began August 7th and is finally getting the 2nd act on October 2nd.

    I can’t wait for the shenanigans in the upcoming Fall or New Year’s roadmap.

    • dzip.sys

      The community manager isn’t able to handle a simple calendar, what do you expect from such a team?
      😉

      For BioWare is today the 427th of Septober 2016 or something.

  • Ben Gimson

    No fix to Force Leap then…

    • John Kosto

      What’s wrong with it?

      • Ben Gimson

        When leaping to a target between levels it stops mid-jump as if hitting an invisible wall. Obviously it’s a fucking irritating bug in PvP, Huttball especially, since it usually happens when jumping around the walkways near the goal line and it’s the only decent mobility ability Guardians/Juggernauts have.

        Lost more than one match because my run to the goal was thwarted by this bug. There’s another leap bug too, where the character sort of slides through the target of the leap, though that’s not half as bad since it doesn’t go too far past them.

        • John Kosto

          Oh ok PvP, that’s why I don’t know about it. I have stopped PvP because it’s too toxic. And even when I did, I used to play with my Shadow and my Commando usually… though I did bring other classes sometimes…

          • Ben Gimson

            I mostly play tank guardian/juggernaut, so even if I’m targeted it’s all good. Not sure if the bug is present in PvE but I’d think it would be, since it’s the same ability. I guess there’s not as many opportunities to leap up between levels in PvE though.

            Which is probably why they’ve never bothered to fix it.

            • John Kosto

              Yeah but no. Fixes over PvP are the norm, and class balance is sadly based always on PvP. Because they are idiots and got rid of different gear for the two modes. Instead, they should just have different discipline and ability builds between PvP and PvE. Now all the PvErs have to constantly get nerfed since that’s their only way of “fixing” things, and it always happens because PvPers complain. So in this case, not fixing an actual bug is just because they’re incompetent.

              • Ben Gimson

                I wish. Class balance in PvP is worse now than it’s ever been. I agree, though, that the ideal would be separate abilities for PvP and PvE. I really don’t know why that isn’t the norm in MMOs tbh. It makes perfect sense and one group would never need to suffer because of the other.

              • John Kosto

                Well let me rephrase. It USED to be that class changes and class balance happen only because of PvP. Now they just don’t happen. There’s no one to fix anything.

              • Ben Gimson

                Hopefully when Anthem crashes and burns EA will see swtor as a more worthwhile investment, given the money they make from the CM. Might motivate them to focus on improving a successful, existing product since all their new ventures are failing.

        • Xard

          It happens in PvE too.

          • Ben Gimson

            Aye I’m not surprised.

  • Deshik
  • I wouldn’t play this garbage if they offered 999999x XP.

  • Ghada Ahmed

    Loooool…

  • Valis

    Place your bets on SWTOR shutting down in 2019

    • “Keith”

      Nahhh my personal bet is SWTOR is gonna be online as long as WOW does.

      • Bounty_Hunter_Random

        LOL, good one I needed a good laugh today.

        • “Keith”

          then bahahahaha lol

      • Valis

        Be careful what you wish for.

        • “Keith”

          LOL do you wannna bet? Nobody is shutting down this game before 2023 at least….mind my words.

          • “Keith”

            Man i really wish i could bet….i really WISH, bahahaha

          • Travelering_swordsman

            their Licence to run this MMO will be invaild in 2020. so by then it will be a win or a fail for EA to continue being having owner rights to this game further in, and if the game shuts down because Bioware doesnt have the full man power of Devs for swtor alone to fix it, or run it. u just have those 3 devs only.

    • Tony

      can players who really only benefit from new material pay a reduced membership which prevents all the big whammy free to play restrictions? like a middleground subscription..its hardly worth the same money as it is for new players with an entire games worth of new material

  • Sándor Szolga

    Is the invisible wall gone on the rooftop garden of manaan SH?

    • Might want to read the changes again: “The Rooftop Garden of the Manaan Stronghold is no longer inaccessible in some situations.”

  • Skurhink

    So if this games does shut down, what are all the haters here going to do? With no game left to complain about

    • Marrks

      complain about their miserables lives on some social web

      • John Doe

        I really don’t think there are any haters left this game is that dead.

    • Shawn Hargrave

      theres always EA lol

    • Tim

      I hear Sims 4 sucks pretty bad.

  • Shawn Hargrave

    I generally make almost $12500-$13500 a month over the internet. I lost my job after doing work for the same organization for several years, I required trustworthy source of income. I was not thinking about the “get rich overnight” home programs you can find online. Those are all mlm schemes or stuff where you have to sell to your friends and relatives. The greatest benefit of working on the internet is that I am always home with the kids, I save a good amount of money. Read more on following page https://stogowig.tumblr.com
