(+) Yeah! (+)

Patch 1.2, the one with the UI changes and all, it deleted Guild Banks, so all the guilds who had bought a bank and stored items in it lost it all.

Also some things that were removed in a previous patch is back in, so it's like the game half-patched, half went back in time, or something.

And I guess no rollbacks are possible since the engine isn't supposed to support it (unless they updated it or something).

I'm getting sad for the players who keep paying and get that **** all the time.

People should just play WoW. I know it gets a lot of flack, but they're the only MMO that has half a clue about what they're doing. I'm sure there are others, but if nobody is playing them, it hardly matters.

Trion is pretty good at patching their game without ****ing up everything, the launch of Rift was flawless too, I was there.

No queues, no downtimes, everything worked like it was supposed to do.

This is pretty standard s*** for an MMO. They mess up all the time.

Yeah, but usually MMOs are made with engines that allow rollbacks.

Which isn't the case of the Hero Engine version Bioware has.

Yeah World of Warcraft is pretty awesome. They were finished with their growing pains years ago.

Oh also whole areas were deleted, so some players just spawn in.. the void.

If they can log in at all.

Sorry, I'm confused on terminology. What is rollback aside from what Wal Mart does to prices?

Pretty much loading an older save in case something happened that makes it necessary, like players finding an exploit to make them rich, people losing everything for no reason (what's happening now).

The Hero Engine can't do it, if it can I'll be surprised because they did nothing during the Ilum fiasco.

So that's why they just banned people for little stuff like "using the auction house" early in?

Wait, why can't the Hero Engine do it?

Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

As far as I know it's just that the engine doesn't save backups.

Here's a picture that kinda explains why the engine SWTOR uses is so bad.



The finished Hero Engine is actually good, but it's not the one Bioware uses.
