You can want mods if you like – I think they’re a plague – but claiming that Bioware wouldn’t have to work on UI modifications because the community would “fix” it if they had a mod system are unrealistic.

Anyway, back on subject –> the “fix” about letting more players than allowed in game really is welcome! Somehow, it was always the opposite team that did it… happened to me once (i queue solo).

What was funny was when we were 5 vs 10 and won still as our turrets had time to shoot more before the end. :P

As far as your thoughts on individual “feeling”… To me, that sounds like “well numbers don’t matter because it’s about your ‘playstyle’.” While having a system that works for you is all well and good, it may not be optimal. And performing sub-optimally hurts everyone.

Otherwise, great post! Very informative as was the little discussion in comments.

Now I can’t wait for the ability to move UI elements or remove the elements (Like the Tutorial Bar when I am on my third new character and I have at least 1 50 Toon – I bet its something I can shut off in the Preferences…hummm…)

Once again Bioware keeps impressing me with the ability to produce these weekly patches at the rate they are going.
I truly hope they can keep up the pace until they get to the first year anniversary and they have gotten the majority of the “BIG” issues and balancing worked out. Then I feel they could slow down to every 2 weeks or so unless its a priority hotfix.

Preferences (such as the the additions of a customizable GCD display in the recent patch) I suppose COULD mean mods, however I give Bioware more credit than to think they’d be so flippant to use “mods” when they mean “preferences”.
