In what seems like another attempt to throw more water onto the flames, Bioware has just released a video showcasing some upcoming features and content set to hit the servers in the coming months.

A few of the highlights include PVP stats, legacy system updates, a new warzone, guild features, and my favorite customizible UI.

Have a look for yourself after the break!

I admit that I don't visit the "official" forums but are people really that upset? Or is it just more of the same old "I'll sue" nonsense that seems to infest official game boards...

Yes. Well, 'people' should be read as 'some people with too much time near a keyboard'. Lots of people threatening to cancel if the valour isn't removed, others threatening to do the same if it is. It's all very highschool.

...things I say...

Yeah, TOR is a "good" game and I figure it will keep the masses playing and paying for months if not years.

Legacy based valour removal is what I'd expect and feel is rational

i expect them to FIX the crap they have in-game atm, before they go adding more crap to end up causing more bugs..... Don't companys see adding more features, before everything from vanilla was fix, cause 100000000 times more problems. Now i personally LOVE sw:tor, but hate the fact everyone nitpicks on stuff they should add and take away, instead of being like "hey fix this or that" no its "add thi, i want that do this or im unsubbing!!!!" So i vote everyone left i nthe world with common sense and a active brain should petition them to FIX before they add!!!

You realize that quality control and design are two different departments, and that adding new content does not preclude fixing bugs SIMULTANEOUSLY, right?

It's a simple as this: if you're not enjoying the game, unsubscribe and leave so the ones of us who enjoy it, with and for it's imperfections can gave a better gaming experience and not forced to play with whining sissy's. It also allows for you to stop wasting your time complaining and move on to something else. Win-win for both parties involved.

As always with any game that involves PvP there are a ton of QQ. Players always think they know better then the developer. Bioware has worked long and hard on this game and had a very successful launch. All games have bugs and require fixes, its just the way it is. Too many players expect their class to unstopable, but there has to be balances and adjustments. The game has been live for 1 month and 3 days and people have been crying since day 1 and making comparisions to WoW. Its funny how no one remembers how bad the lauch of WoW really was, there were ton of bugs and problems. They have had 6 years to work them out and make a stable game. Personally I cant stand WoW and found it lacked story and needed too much grinding. SWTOR is one of the best MMOs I have played in a long time, which I have played over 10 starting with the launch of EQ. The majority of the community seem to be happy, there are the normal whiners that bring everyone else down. There are currently 1 million subscribers and maybe 1% of them are crying on the forums.

Someone with a little common sense! To all who would oppose this: if you're on the forums complaining about balance problems or bugs, you are clearly not playing the rest of the non-buggy parts of the game. I have also been playing since pre-order early release, and in all that time I have only found a few bugs. Across 1 1/2 months of gameplay. Just unsubscribe haters. If you're going to add more to Bioware's employee's major workload when there are bigger bugs to be fixed, go back to playing your precious, stable-but-boring-as-hell WOW.

This game has been developed over 4 years total from concept to design to alpha to beta to final product. Any developer who can not create a masterpiece in that time should not be in the business. Too many damn bugs for a game that went through so many alpha tests and beta tests . It comes down to Bioware not being able to break out from the cheap RPG feel of dragon age 1. they are re-attempting to introduce what destroyed star wars galaxies and still they couldn't even get it right. take the time to look at Aion's UI and compare the bottom bar to SW:Tor there should be a PIPA agent dryhumping the doors of EA for basically copy and pasting code from various games, not a wow fan either but when they copied something they changed something about it. There are a few nuggets hanging on to this butt of a game hoping for change , i believe in content in expansion packs not monthly updates. Just look at dc online and see how long monthly updates lasted. i think they should re-shelf the game go back to development re-d0 the whole damn thing , take another 4 years. take out the voice overs and wheel of fortune answers. make the game feel like a star wars game rather than a cheap wow clone with kotor story and dragon age guts. thats all back to you SW fails !

You're in the 1% of haters. Also, calling almost 2 million people and counting "nuggets" won't get you much love. It may not fit YOUR style of gameplay, but we still love it. Also, t6011s like me feed on your raging, so please continue ^.^

Ah first time in month i look at any forum, that speaks how good this game is. Our server is full and we have best gaming time of our life. It is normal for forum people to rage about everything, but who cares in fact most of this people are not gamers. Coninue chating i go to kill some republic:)

So far actually a lot of people are having fun Minus the Ilum pvp fiasco. The bugs are being fixed and patched faster then I have ever seen. There working on small class balance changes but nothing game breaking. Unfortunately the forums are what many people gauge when trying to feel out a community and its full of trolls and babies who even if they got their way would find something else to complain about.
