If you visit the General forums (you shouldn’t) on any game (and I mean any) then you know that there is a loooot of complaining. A lot.

Well I’ve visited the SWTOR general forums to try to see what people don’t like about the game. Apparently people are very unhappy. Saying it failed to deliver etc.

Most people though, are on the level. The general consensus is that after level 50, the game just kind of sputters out. It has stuff to do, but none of it is polished and all of it is a bit clunky. That sounds really harsh, and I’m not I agree with it…. especially since I’ve played Age of Conan and Lord of the Rings online… If you want to see a clunky game, play those. (It’s like something a first year graphics design student would make hoping for a B.)

But I digress, most of them were saying that 1.2 Patch needed to be a Miracle in order to keep this game alive and kicking. As Darthhater.com put it, “Miracle patch indeed”.

The following was leaked info for 1.2 from Darthhater.com

Gear/Warzone/Commendation Changes

• Lesser end-game commendations (Champion, Centurion, etc.) will not be exchangable.
• There will be two levels of warzones. Regular and Ranked warzones.
• Regular warzones will give out regular WZ commendations, and Ranked warzones will give out ranked WZ commendations.
• New intro PVP set for new level 50 players to fill gap in gear.
• There will be some “fun” uses for commendations you dont need anymore.

Ranked PVP

• Phase one will be server specific.
• Phase two (coming in the future) will have cross-server queuing.

General/UI Changes

• Combat log coming soon.
• DPS meters/Parsers will be done by 3rd party addons via combat log.
• Free/Paid Server transfers are being worked on but no date provided. They want to make sure the process is perfect before releasing this.

Cross-Server Queuing

• Coming in phase two of pvp changes (later than 1.2)
• Priority is on playing with people from your own server.
• As soon as you start choosing certain things (which warzone, ranked, etc.). It becomes more difficult for you to get a WZ with server players so you go into the cross-server queue.

This, on top of the other information leaked earlier is good news.

We will have combat log and subsequent DPS meters soon.

Cross-server queueing is the other big one.

This tied in with the fact that Ilum will be completely reworked, there will be an entirely new planet added in, speeder training will go down and speeders prices will go down.

In addition, we all get the chance to get an additional new companion: An assassin droid… the HK-51 series, which are the improved version of HK-57
