    In the State of the game it said you guys were working on "On top of that, we have also got new companions, zones, mounts, mechanics, Paragon Paths, and a new class."

    Are we getting a respec then too? It sounded like the paragon paths were coming when the game goes LIVE? Is that no so?

    New Paragon paths won't be available for live launch, but they are in the works.

    Free respec then? We hope so. It's too early right now for us to discuss that but we'll inform you well ahead of time when major updates or changes come.

    You're a fool. Rogues were buffed in this latest patch, stop your mindless whining.

    You are rude and no they weren't. Duelist's Fury and Shocking Execution are the two most important PVE moves for a Rogue at higher level. Throwing a bone with the encounter/power stat correlation does not make up for nerfing the class into the ground.

    7 days before the actual "launch" and Cryptic already can't wait to destroy the Rogue class...

    Not Just Rogue ... I think Cleric Also Destroyed... Because only astral shield thath make Cleric still Alive

    Everybody always thinks that their class getting nerfed is "nerfed into the ground", but let's be honest rogues needed a nerf, or everybody else needed a boost.

    Nobody crying about the DC nerf.

    WHY, PWE, WHY????

    Although it might not help anything here.
    Please revert the duration nerf for Astral Shield. Removing the stacking is totally fine.
    I think though that after patch you will need to run 2 DC that time their shield to have one up all the time.
    I really hope that gets reverted =)

    Anyone here complaining about it actually test it in the preview server? Didn't think so. A guildie of mine in full cn gear is loving it, he has more time to dps instead of run for his life with all the aggro.

    Yes 5 stars to the admins and devs for keeping us up to speed on things.

    SWTOR they never tell us about patches until AFTER. Have to get on the Public Test Server to even GUESS what is going on.

    And to further clarify their ungreebliness; their FORUMS are DOWN WHILE MAINTENANCE! UGGH!

    Glad your team is more player/user/customer friendly.

    Yes, that is it. It may be larger or smaller depending on if you've pre-patched lately.

    THANK YOU for the great job on the maintenance progress. Really appreciate this.

    P.S. There must be a LOT more to this patch than what was on Mimic. I logged into Mimic 3-4 times a day to keep the code current and did so again about 20 minutes to the Maintenance start time. And now I've got nearly 1GB to patch? And yes, it's creeping along at 33-50Kbps. I suppose because of the load on the shards.

    The Cleric has been destroyed, long live the Cleric. And people who overreact to everything.

    Well ,I had downloaded the preview shard if that helps. It is nice to be able to patch the game while servers are down. Saves time :)
    Thanks for the info keep the good work up

    You are right, i did not test it. But he loving the playstyle does not mean it is useful for the group.
    GF will just be necessary now i think. I will just have to see in 15 min though =)

    I think what's standing there are the files that have to be patched on your hdd, not the amount you have to download.

    One per char.

    and the free respec tokens stack on top of the 1 respec we got from the founders pack, correct? That is, if I use the free one on all my chars, I'll still have the 1 token extra I have not yet used from the founder pack to use on any character?

    I gotta say, I'm rather impressed with cmpinpointerror's attention to this thread. Blizzard and Bioware both have a nasty habit of cherry-picking which threads and questions they wish to address, but the admin attending to this thread has been Johnny-on-the-spot through the whole maintenance cycle. I remember not too long ago Bioware had a maintenance cycle that lasted 3 times longer than it was supposed to (almost 24 hours) and no one heard even so much as a peep from them. It's good to see the attention being paid.

    Yes, they still have a horrendous problem with their launcher/patching for at least some of us. The first 2.5/3GB's (80%+) for me downloaded within seconds on my 250MB internet. Now i have 430MB's left and its moving at .1% a minute for me to. I can cancel button, restart launcher and it resumes from where it left off but still has the same problem. It has NOTHING to do with server load, bandwidth, hard drive speed (raided SDD's), all the normal junk I hear people throw out there. There is simply something very wrong at play.

    I sign that. Although the communication could be better in other areas, the maintanance information is prefect =)

    Not to kiss up too much, but I fully agree. These guys are much better than what we have been exposed to of late.
