LFG Tool is a success...here's why.

Glad you enjoy it. Beware the natural enemy of group finders though. Over reliance on tank/healer. Those who get it, know. -
NEW Space Combat game being developed.
shepardcomander replied to Rayla_Felana's topic in General Discussion
The space combat entry in the holonet still fails to mention tiny details such as single-player-only, rail shooter or mini game. It's the details BiowEAr fails to talk about that are most important. BiowEAr isn't talking about any of the details of this "new" space. Not a good sign. -
Who else doesn't care about the new space mission?
shepardcomander replied to DarthWoad's topic in General Discussion
No one can fully know the future but we can all see the past. BiowEAr's given little to no consideration towards space combat. Pre-launch no dev would touch the subject except through obscure, 3rd party websites and interviews. Same as post launch. At launch, they provided the fail rails. now, 7 or so months into it, they double down with another fail rail and the same old, vague hints of "secret space" mentioned only in obscure interviews accessible through the same, friendly 3rd party fansites that agreed not to trash the rails the 1st go-round. If they were going to expand space combat to become a meaningful game aspect, they would've assigned a community rep to it whewn they were assigning reps to other game features. -

I'd very much like to see a fun form of space combat coexist alongside the existing rails along with some transparent metrics as to which ones get played how often so we can finally have some numerically measureable data to analyze this concept. -

Daniel Erickson refertenced new pixels (in some obscure interview as there is still a gag order preventing devs from discussing space combat on these forums) so the "secret" must be paint jobs slapped onto the existing fail rails. -

If it is "a lot of fun" as stated in your 2nd paragragh, then why are additional incentives needed to do it as stated in your 1st paragragh? -

When will we see multiplayer space combat in this massively multiplayer Star Wars game? -
Space Combat in The Old Republic (continued from pre launch)

Well they should have all the manpower they need now, after the mass lay-offs -

shepardcomander replied to seatown's topic in General Discussion
At least when they were assigning various game aspects to various community managers, space combat got its own rep. oh wait... http://www.swtor.com/blog/community-team-general-update-may-31st-2012 ...nvm -
Space Combat in The Old Republic (continued from pre launch)
shepardcomander replied to seatown's topic in General Discussion
You'd think after 6 months of supposed developement they'd have something worth talking about, but no. -
At last some space news! Thanks, Bioware!
shepardcomander replied to Zaemiel's topic in General Discussion
yeah but they also used "epic" to describe the current, single player only, rail shooter... "blast enemy fighters, and engage in epic, large-scale fleet battles reminiscent of those from the classic Star Wars™ films." -
At last some space news! Thanks, Bioware!
shepardcomander replied to Zaemiel's topic in General Discussion
Just to douse a little history on soaring expectations. Pre launch, not once on this official website did Bioware mention that the current space was on rails nor even single player only (their official description still ommits such details). This "secret space" has all details ommitted. Based on their own past, that's not a good sign. -
At last some space news! Thanks, Bioware!
shepardcomander replied to Zaemiel's topic in General Discussion
I want them to keep the current rails alongside anything new too. I also want them to release in-game metrics data as to which one gets played more -

shepardcomander replied to Zaemiel's topic in General Discussion
Now comes the qustion of when to they transition from talking about it to doing it. And just how dfferent is "it". New pixels could literally mean custom paint jobs. -
The way their PR department loves to hype upcoming content, silence can only mean a lack of anything worth talking about.
