I see people write this often and I believe it is incorrect. You can and should compare a MMO launch with other MMO launches and not with games that have been around for *seven* years. If you expect new games to be as polished as established games, you are insane. And that's my humble opinion
C'mon, be realistic. If they had to deliver a totally polished game it would take them five years to make it and by the time they were finished, they had to start all over again because in five years the other games would not have stood still.
And don't get me started about your remark about Bioware leadership. Your argument shows you have no clue what you are talking about. SWTOR does compete with other MMO's out on the market and they might or might not make it. But trying to bring out a game that is like wow but only better, is not the way to go. There already is a Wow, you want to make your own game and get at least a niche.
I suggest you go back and read my post again. I'm not talking about polish. I'm talking about basic game features that should have been present at launch, that they are now scrambling to patch in. For example guild banks and a movable UI, to only name a few. So my original position holds.
If SWTOR wishes to compete with other MMO's, it must do so on the other MMO's terms. As I said, Bioware's leadership should have known this. Even Bioware's Zeschuk agrees with that, "It [World of Warcraft] is a touchstone. It has established standards, it's established how you play an MMO. Every MMO that comes out, I play and look at it. And if they break any of the WoW rules, in my book that's pretty dumb." Unfortunately they did a very poor job of copying it. By Zeschuk's own logic, Bioware's developers are pretty dumb.

Its like people have forgotten how bad WoW was at launch.
Doesn't matter how bad WoW was at launch. If SWTOR wants to compete with WoW they have to face WoW on its own field. So far they have not. They released a product that didn't even offer basic MMO features. Now they are scrambling to add in features that should have been there at launch.
You cannot compete against someone based on how they were 7 years ago. You have to compete with them based on how they are NOW. To do otherwise invites failure. If the Bioware leadership were competent, they would understand this.

Some people have posted the some spawn points on my website. I also confirmed one. Look in the comments at the bottom:

Consider it this way, you just payed $165 dollars to learn a lesson. One don't buy collectors edition anything, it's never worth it. Two don't jump on a new MMO if you are not into taking risks.
It wouldn't be a risk if the developers actually delivered on what they advertise, and didn't make incompetent design decisions.
And lesson learned - I'll never buy a Collector's Edition again.
-
You are correct..it just BECOMES a bad game unfortunately.
No money from players = less and less content updates and pay to win crap
Actually no. World of Tanks and LOTRO are adding just as much content as any other pay to play game.
-
Sure, and then once it hits F2P you can end up spending way more than $15 a month on the cash shop for features that you should have had in the first place.
Oh you mean like $150 for a collectors edition that wasn't worth it. Plus the $15 subscription fee that I just paid. Lemme see, $165 into SWTOR now, but some how it is cheaper than me spending a few bucks on a F2P game.
Your logic fails you, sir.
-
Honestly I play World of Tanks, it's free to play, and I have a blast. I also play LOTRO, that is free to play, and I also enjoy that game.
Just because a game goes F2P does not mean its a bad game.
-
Fixed... For some reason editing URL's doesn't work.
Oh i give up...
-
Found this online, and thought it was funny. James Ohlen's look is just so fitting. Meant in good fun though. I have faith that they will get the game fixed, and on track.

Soa ? :s
ROFL @ your signature!

Seen this already. Never trust the opinion of a Stockbroker.
The company I work for posted a 3% increase in sales over christmas, which caused share prices to fall because the shareholders wanted 6%.
Despite this, the company is still set to post a profit of £4 billion this year, our highest yet. This should send share prices rocketing again. So I suggest waiting for EA's yearly profit announcement before assuming gloom and doom.
This isn't a normal market. Software lives and dies on the opinions of people and users. Your ideas about stock valuation does not apply here.

When your game is the topic of discussion on a financial website, you know your in deep trouble.

Richard Vogel is cool in my book. Anyone who helped create the original Ultima Online deserves my respect. I don't know the guy, but because of the wonderful gift and memories of UO that he helped give me, I count him as a friend.
There are problems with the game, but... Hands off Richard Vogel.
-
He mentioned something called "Train" that they ran in PvP, and said its going to start happening here too.
-
My friend, who played Warhammer Online from early beta, said this game is having the same issues. He said its no surprise since many of the same people are working on SWTOR.

I'm 38 and seld-employed / unemploted. I spend my days working on my websites and playing games!

Sad but true. This is Bioware's development team.
-
Um they cancelled after they saw the apathy of the talentless hacks called devs.
Amen to that.
This says it all. http://auditorydepredation.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/1326231905169.jpg
The CEO said if you don't copy WoW you are stupid. Damn...I didn't think he meant literally.
-
If SWTOR was a hamburger, it'd be just like the Burger King Whopper...Since Bioware copied WoW:
-
The fact that they announced the patch before it was ready suggests that management is panicy or very nervous about the state of the game.
-
No offense, but you must be either young or new to MMO's. The best MMO I have ever played is still Ultima Online: The Second Age way back in 1997-1998.

So you're not interested in the server population but in the population of a given level range in a specific zone?
Correct. As I stated, the only population that matters is the planet you are on. If you are questing on Alderaan, you don't really care how many are on Tatooine. The population on Alderaan is the only one that affects your game play.
I spend my days working on my websites and playing games!
Any clue if Swtor uses all CPU cores and ?

Well I have a Intel Core i5 750 Quad core. I also use SpeedFan to help monitor my PC's temps. Speedfan has a bar indicator for each of my processor's cores at the top. When I am running SWTOR all four cores are running at 95%. I'm not sure if that is what you mean, but to me it looks like SWTOR is running all of the processor's cores.
I also have 4 gigs of DDR3 ram, but only 3.67 gigs are normally used when playing SWTOR.
One more thing, I do a lot of video editing, and multitasking. The ONLY other time my processor gets full usage when when I am rendering video with Adobe Premiere Pro. I can also run a ton of stuff at once, and never come close to filling up 4 gigs of ram. I would take a guess that SWTOR alone would have not much use for more ram beyond what it is using.
