Fair enough. However I'd hope bioware isn't planning on everyone unsubbing after only a month. I certainly don't think this game has enough immersion to keep anyone interested while they take another 4 years to make a fully VO expansion.
I will give you 100% "props" for this quote, because I definitely agree with you.

And where do you think EA gets its funds, tooth fairy again?
I don't think EA gets it's funds from Venture Capital firms; but I also don't think they have the in-house equity to finance it completely by themselves. I don't know though, they're steady at $20.53 a share and looks like they peaked right before this game launched at $26.13. They may have it.
*shrug*

Attributes are irrelevant. Have you noticed that in WoW players are affected by more than one attribute? That's why the attribute system exists. There's no reason to create "cunning" "strength" and "willpower" if they don't do anything across classes. Why not just give every player two attributes: Hit Points and "Smuggler power" or "Sith Warrior power". The attribute system in this game is playskool.
MAIN
- Agility (WoW) = Aim & Cunning (TOR)
- Intellect (WoW) & Spirit (WoW) = Willpower (TOR)
- Stamina (WoW) = Endurance (TOR)
- Strength (WoW) = Strength (TOR)
SECONDARY
- Armor (WoW) = Armor (TOR)
- Attack Power (WoW) = Power (TOR)
- Block (WoW) = Defense (TOR)
- Critical Strike Rating (WoW) = Critical (TOR)
- Defense Rating (WoW) = Defense (TOR)
- Dodge (WoW) = Defense (TOR)
- Expertise (WoW) = Accuracy (TOR)
- Haste Rating (WoW) = Alacrity (TOR)
- Hit Rating (WoW) = Accuracy (TOR)
- Parry (WoW) = Defense (TOR)
- Resilience (WoW) = Expertise (TOR)
- Resistance(s) (WoW) = Absorption (TOR)
WOW ONLY
- Armor Penetration (WoW) [this is given through selected talents in specializations in TOR, not via stats on gear]
TOR ONLY
- Presence (TOR)
Looks to me like your argument is invalid, as there are actually the same amount if not more; they just molded some to do multiple things! Sorry.
- Agility (WoW) = Aim & Cunning (TOR)

How with your busy professional analyst schedule, did you have time to accomplish so much in the game, when the game isn't even a month old?
^ Everyone's been thinking it, but this Wookie said it.
-
yes my grammar is not the best, I am not spell checking as I go.
If you feel the need to point this out .. you need to stop reading forums and go teach a class or farm your Valor rank in game :-)
No, to be taken seriously as a professional you need to be able to communicate professionally. You failed to do that by either using Internet Explorer or not noticing a squiggly little red line. I just hope you know how to use it in Word when you type up actual analytic reports (if you actually are an analyst).
You don't go anywhere and present yourself as a professional, and then not take the time to communicate like one. Using the already abject name of Goldman Sachs as your employer didn't help, either.

So because the majority isnt 50, it makes sense for Bioware to ignore the players AT 50? The players at 50 are the ones dealing with the most problems and bugs, they are the people most likely to get bored/fed up and leave first, dont you think thats an issue?
I have 40+ people on my friends list that are level 50. The game has been out since Dec. 13th.
Its almost been a month. The "most people are not 50 yet" days are long gone.
Obviously they'll fix the bugs; when? Who cares? There's tons of stuff to do. If it's not what you want to do, quit - take away that $14.99 before your first month starts - that's how you do it and get them to notice that they aren't developing quickly enough to your taste, not like this.
Developers don't even read this forum I'm sure, it's mainly Customer Service representatives - and if you honestly think they pass messages on like this to Engineers (and the Engineers don't just say "whatever, I'm busy doing what my boss told me to do and could give a damn about whiny players") you're crazy.
This was a waste of time to post, and even worse, you wasted my time by making me respond.

Stopped reading here...
"What Bioware failed to do was capitalize on there audience..."
...because if you were really a well paid financial analyst, you would know how to use a grammar check.
Fail.

Where have I seen this before? oh.. must be a RIFT in my imagination. You don't learn to play it just by regearing and flipping a switch.
MANY times repeated: cant find a tank..oh..wait.. I can regear and switch over and tank.
(zero learning curve with THAT skill set) wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe.... quit and go home.
nothing teaches you your skills like leveling with them. I don't miss it.
Quoted for truth right here.
OP (and all who agree with him): **** and level, stop whining, we don't want you to fail tank because you got bored of your damn DPS only class (that you knew, when picking it, that you couldn't change ... EVER).
-
Oh, I was under the impression the game would be patched That's disappointing...
Load up your launcher, even if the servers are under horrific queues and the login server is being a bi***, you'd still get a patch if there was one to get.
-
They put back in the Pre-Order Crystal Vendor.
Well, they may have implemented server-side changes. Those would not affect the UI though, which is what he was asking about.
-
There was no patch between 7PM and 11PM EST today; so no, there's nothing new.
-
If that's the case, honestly, good. Cap the servers so that people roll on the light servers - and then slowly UP THE CAPS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK so we have less of a wait. I'll give it a few days, but screw it, I've waited two hours, I'm going the hell to bed.
-
#2...
MMOs start at the level cap. The "grind" is just there to **** your wallet and teach you how to play.
Raiding, PVP, reputation, and gear sets - all the things that keep the game going after the initial "OK, I did the quests, now what?" has worn off. If it takes too long to level, you lose a large chunk of your base.
If you're here to level, that's awesome - there's 7 more classes when you're done with that one.
-
iPhone is easier to develop for (or something to that affect). It has the largest market share in the world (though, not in the U.S. anymore!).
Give them time, they will port it to Android if they haven't already.
-
The one in the city is a car and the one outside is a bike. They don't have room to park cars in the lot where they store the bikes.
Simple mathematics (oh, and no, it makes no damn sense, lol).
-
I feel bad for the Bioware programmer thats working on server transfers right now. Looks like that guy won't be sleeping.
QFT. When you have $10+m riding on something, you tend to **** on the little guys.
-
How exactly do you do it? I have been told to go back to the advanced class trainer on imperial fleet but there is no option, others have said there is a reset option but i don't see that either.
Go to where the Advance Class Trainers are, then go all the way to the end of the line - you'll see a guy there called a Skill Mentor. He'll respec your talents for you, Sir.
-
Seriously, this isn't EA/Bioware's fault. There's a TON of 'light' servers out there right now.
Actually, ***, it was LIGHT when I rolled there - I didn't start having to wait until Friday; and it's been 45+ ever since. Thanks for assuming though, that was quite nice of you.
-
Or add in the code to drop it to your taskbar with a counter automatically. Or like, minimize the bulls*** server list and counter and open a movie so we can at least have something to do instead of blankly staring at a screen for an hour. Add in digital copies of all 6 movies for Christ's sake, the download is already 18GB, what's another 6?
-
I didn't. My servers was LIGHT when I rolled. Now it has an hour plus.
-
Once this has been out awhile and people either drop it for something else or get bored with it, will we see this problem reduce dramatically.
So, "keep paying for it without getting to play because you have to wait an hour to log in, and eventually you'll get your money's worth a month or two from now when people with tons of free time are bored with it" is your valid option?
Really?
-
I waited two and half hours yesterday to get in just so that I could run my Inquisitor through Kaas City, open up the Artifice trainer, and have the game crash -- and then get back in line for another 2 hours. It was EPIC!
-
It would seem IC is a very popular server - if my friends weren't all on it, I would just move; but screw it, I'm not redoing all my characters just to skip a queue (especially when by tomorrow all these brand new flashy servers will have one too).
-
I don't care if the queue moves 10 people every minute. 500 people in the queue, that's almost an hour of wasted time that I should be in the game. Time is limited, and if I'm going to pay a subscription, then I'd like to be able to actually use it.
You almost never see queues in WoW, only on patch days, on high-pop servers at peak hours. Even then, waiting 10 minutes is not waiting a damn hour + just to log in. There is a difference.
This game is awesome, and I want to play it, not look at the server screen with a countdown.
*sigh
That's disappointing...
Server mergers need to happen ASAP.

There were 30 servers that were heavy last night, one with a queue. At 10:00PM EST. I think maybe you think "peak" is at 3:00 when you get home from middle school... my server is standard and we had 190 people on the fleet at 10, and I jumped on my JK to make sure I wasn't crazy, and there were 145 people on that fleet. It's hardly dead.
Without actually working at the company, can you say for sure that "the other game's" servers don't have more than say 1000 people online at any given time? I mean, do you really know what the cap is and what "full" means? I sure don't...
