Looks like they are not ready for the patch tonight.

Ouch. Lots of people are already flaming the forums. (Not that I didn't see that coming with 1.2 either way.)
That's some really late communication on their part though. I have to wonder if there wasn't some crazy exploit or bug found last minute... All signs until now, as far as I was aware, were a go-ahead until the last minute.

I wonder what their alternative solution will be for the new Hero gear?

3:1 Warzone to Ranked Warzone trade-in. Pretty much identical to the current system.

Pure, 100% unadulterated, USDA-certified bullshit.
Bioware has great artists.
Their design team doesn't know what in the fuck they are doing.

well reading some of the thread there were a few intelligent posts. some say that the PTS showed a split between ranked 8 man queue and solo queues which would drive even LONGER wait times on Warzones for those servers already on light status.
seems to hold up as Reid posted that when they do phase in Ranked, it will be 8 man group only at first, followed by others later.
this could be a blessing in disguise for FA. we get more practice time in, finish off the battlemaster pieces some folks need and obtain some of the warhero stuff.

I hear you Paitryn;)
In other news, and for our EU players, the patch is up.

Let me re-phrase my frustration: someone who grinds unranked warzones, win OR lose, can walk into a ranked warzone match with full war hero gear. Originally, you could only earn ranked warzone commendations by playing in (*rimshot*) ranked warzones. There are no tactile or tactical rewards for ranked PVP matches only aesthetic ones.
Bad, poorly thought-out design makes for shallow, boring, skinner box-driven gameplay.

um welcome to 2004? We already knew MMOs (at least the successful ones) were about skinner box design. hell zinga is the most successful gaming company and all of their games are purely skinner box. (they make farmville)
Its what sells and what we buy :shrug: at least until someone finally reinvents the sandbox.

Ahh I was looking forward to this addition.
