Ahh the twitter generation, what must it be like to only be able to think in 142 character snippets. I was going to try and reply but pointless if you only have capacity for 142 characters at a time. Suffice to say it is a complete fallacy that all MMO's are this bugged at release. DAoC, LotRO and recently Rift for example, where nowhere close.

Absolutely not compares to say Rift or LotRO (those are just off the top of my head).

Aren't Masthead studios making it for/with them? I suggest you try Earthrise (actually I don't I suggest you read about Earthrise). Sadly I really can't see anything worth while coming from Masthead.

I'm not sure I care any more Most people know it's a dodgy engine what is baffling is that things seem to be deteriorating compared to the preview 'betas'. Such a shame as broadly speaking BW have done a reasonable job considering the technology they chose to build on. Arguably it's not good enough. Having said that I find things like ability delay more of a thorn in the side, but it all comes down to a poor engine.

They already hired over a hundred staff and built a brand new building in Ireland to house them. No extra cost required. Oh and the EU produces as much revenue for them as the US anyway, and we pay more too (more disposable income I guess) so there you go.

Yeah when the money men say no more money for you so you better release it already.

Some of those are bugs though un acknowledged, some are acknowledged as bugs (e.g. flashbang), some (worryingly) are supposedly working as intended (the Inquisitor/Sage instant for example, I forget what it is called) I must admit I rolled Inquisitor as they seemed advantaged, ironically I have re-rolled scoundrel that is dis advantaged.

Ehh? What are you saying, just do the main class quest line and everything is fine? What's the point of having all those side quests and activities then? As an alternate way to level?

If you do that you are way over level for the content. The whole point is there is ample content to support a leaner exp curve. Incidentally you should take a look at some of the posts about the current game at 50. Some are pretty eloquent by people that obviously enjoy and care about the game. BW really don't want lots of people at cap just yet, there are issues that need attention.

Yeah 2am tomorrow, perfect to ensure maximum availability to the majority of paying subscribers.

Dear Mr Collins thank you for delaying the patch, however a days notice would be nice in future, even gamers like to plan there lives a little. An hour and a half after the appointed time is a little tardy to say the least. Still, hopefully you will be scheduling a night time slot for the EU?

I hear you will be able to transfer characters to WAR, true story that

Nice job OP. Shame the twitter generation can only think in 142 character chunks before needing a lie down, sadly they will miss out

It appears so. I guess those that are going to suck it up will do just that and those that have cancelled are winding down. I guess it will become a non issue though it absolutely will adversely effect their revenue...its just a question of by how much.

Feel strongly enough to cancel <shrug>. A shame as I am still enjoying SWTOR. Let's hope someone looks at exit polls even though BW appear to ignore the forums. Every business that has the slightest clue knows that to maximise revenue you need to provide the highest possible availability to as many subscribers as possible. That means circa 2am GMT maintenance for Europe. They obviously hold Europe with the utmost contempt, well guess what, the feeling is becoming mutual.

This!

The problem is not knowing which one's you have used already. Once they are gone they are gone as far as I can tell? So if you see a bargain on the GTN there is no way of knowing if you ran that mission already? Over multiple alts and multiple crew skills it is well nigh impossible to keep track of them.

Female Hutt Comando for me next time. I wonder if I'll be treated differently as a Hutt?

Cancelled due to the complete disregard for EU customers. If they announce separate EU maintenance times in the next week I'll re-subscribe straight away. If they do not they will probably loose me until there is a lull in my gaming and a free trial coaxes me back.

Chris Collins did say something along the lines of "it's what you all want really"....just made me want to punch him. (metaphorically of course). Separate EU maintenance and a couple of free days play time in lieu before the month is up. Thanks.

Yeah quite. The fact that the top sticky in the forums is the devs saying 'yeah look we know the combat isn't fluid and we are looking in to it as a top priority' kind f casts aspersions on the rest of the OP's 'observations'. The game is fun but has some problems, some are pretty serious.

DCUO was fun but clearly did not have staying power ( a bit like Tabula Rassa I guess). Interesting you shoud mention the UI, if DCUO UI was a '3' SWOTOR is maybe a '5' or generously a '6'. The game is just as much fun but whilst the UI arguably is not 'broken' it is certainly 'infuriating'.

You missed companions, I am enjoying them. Still veneer does not a new table make.

Yes and the the same people that will be disenchanted ...just a few months later.

So now you get a 2 minute voice acted 'mission' to step out the door and collect 3 ojjimewhatsists to return to a character 60 seconds later, you will never see again, and really could not care less about them. Don't get me wrong I think voice adds a lot to the main mission but some of the side missions you just wonder why? And one has to ask, this 'levelling grind' you speak of...it's still there you know, sure its more fun but .......whatever not worth trying to explain.
