2. In my opinion...this was the worst thing they did. They are now giving Valor to open world PvP. In theory it will work, but for most servers that are 80%+ Sith this is a disaster. On Illum last night we had 29 Republic and 360+ Sith. Now, I know they put in an emergency patch not not allow opposing factions to enter the base and they will be putting in caps for the amount of players in that zone.....but they also allowed Sith to farm the base which meant they got to Battlemaster within 2-4 hours.....not weeks of hardcore grinding it (which pissed off ALOT of people).

The Dev's really need to think about big patches like this before implementing them. There are MANY classes that need tweaks to help improve their dps/threat/healing.....and to do what they did to the PvP w/o fully thinking it through will kill this game in 2 months if they don't listen to "reasonable" QQ from the masses.

What did you all think of the patch so far?

The buffs were mainly tank spec things.

Not bad for a game that is now officially past the 30 day mark for being live...

(Reuters) - Electronic Arts' revenue rose more than expected in its third quarter on strong sales of the military-themed game "Battlefield 3" and the highly anticipated "Star Wars" game.


Adjusted for the deferral of digital revenue, the company said net income rose 71 percent to $334 million, or 99 cents per share for the quarter ended December 31.


On a non-adjusted basis, the company narrowed its net loss to $205 million, or 62 cents per share, from $322 million, or 97 cents per share, a year earlier.


Revenue rose 17 percent to $1.65 billion, beating analysts' average estimate of $1.62 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.


The company sold 2 million units of "Star Wars: The Old Republic." The online game was the most anticipated and expensive title in EA's history, and had generated 1.7 million active subscribers, the company said on Wednesday.

The game is decent enough for a "little" change. I think the game brought enough of a change for me than to play an expansion in WoW. It pretty much was a question of where I would spend my subscription money on to: WoW or ToR.

Changes (even though they are very similar to WoW) are very subjective. To some - it's a world of a difference, and to others - it's the same fruit juice but with more water than juice.

Here some of the things I liked about ToR (spin offs or completely new)

• Choose Light / Dark side responses
• Companions - everyone has them
• I was mainly curious how they can expand on the lore of Star Wars and they did a great job of it for me
• An actual light saber - not an enchant (yes I know it's weak but I did play with plastic tubes attached to a flashlight)
• I enjoy their PVP mechanics better than WoW (so far)
• Can't speak much for Raids - but I hope I don't get too involved in such...

I'll continue to subscribe to ToR for at least 6 months probably - after that, I'll see. There are a lot of games out there about to come out: D3 and the Guild Wars 2 come to mind big time....

Yeah, D3 and GW2 are on my radar.

Fair warning to Hoss people, I've been grumpy as fuck due to quitting smoking. And the last weekend I've spent mostly drunk since Thursday :p

Because the honorable and good republic always should use A hired killer. Plus why wouldn't the Bounty Hunters work for the ones who can pay em more?
