Except for the fact that the developers said during the end of open beta and after launch (all the way up until F2P) that they would continue to add more CE rewards to the game such as adding more items to the CE vendor (which never happened). Hell i don't think even the VIP vendor has been updated since launch

well with bioware's track record, it will be something along the lines of new space combat missions or a new head model for character creation. You know the things no one cares about.

Honestly legacy should of been a talent point system, similar to that of wow's guild levels, with certain talents/trees unlocked by within the family tree, going all the way to lv50 legacy (current system offers nothing past lv35, most of it unlocks at 15.) I would like to note the lv35 reward is also rendered useless by the fact that you can send mail to alts on the opposite faction. The family tree should of also have a effect, as of right now it serves no function what so ever. It does not even serve a cosmetic function as no other players can not view it. Personally it should effect how the bonuses are applied, allowing more specialization/concentration on a certain bonus, within a given branch of a family tree. Overall the current system seems like a halfassed attempt at a economy sink doubling as the framework for use as a micro-transaction system at a later point.

Ya people claimed that before the investor call revealing that the subs had dropped 400k in less than two months. MMO's generally do not recover from a drastic subloss. This tends to drive away players who wish to invest time into a game, it also cripples any growth due to bad press / word of mouth.

Ya and a week before that SWTOR dev's claimed 1.7m in a interview. So even if they did state sub numbers on the forums chances are its a made up statistic.

Bad example, considering that game was terrible, its entire item system was designed was based around RMAH. Go look at user review sites you will find that game has a average of 4 out of 10 (abysmal") Only reason that game has a player population is blizzard gave the game to every person with a yearly wow subscription for free.

Honestly i have no issue with rolling a alt to 50 as the requirment. The problem i can see is requiring said alt to on the opposite faction. Alot of players dont like playing cross faction. Though personally ether one has no effect on me considering i have maxed out all base classes for both factions.

no stop asking, tell your friends to stop acting like broke hipsters and just duel boot into windows.

or take the unlazy route of giving everything duel effects, and stat caps in pvp. This way abilities can be balanced and tweek in pvp without effect pve.

Ok, i have a Jugg, PT and Assassin all at lv50 (infact i have played all but the sniper to max level) though the three mentioned are geared in rekata and up, I can tell you from experience in PVE tankasins are subpar across the board when it comes to mitigation, parsed data also shows this. Shield mitigation questionable, as its a percentile chance (around 40 to 50% if you stacked shield chance, set bonus, and dark ward) for around 40% DR on a NON-TECH/force attack. If shield chance effected all damage then yes they would be balanced, however this is not the case. Almost all major attacks are Tech/force thus your overall mitigation from shield chance is less than 10% wile with armor DR effects all damage. I have also stated that the healing from Harness and dark charge is minor at most only rounding to around 220HPS (this does not make up for the differences in mitigation). The only thing the self heals effect is solo queue pvp, the second you throw a backpack healer into the mix, the heavy armor tanks are going to run circles around the sin/shadow. The only thing Assassin/shadow has going for it is the wither debuff. Nerfing the classes armor is not the way to go about fixing the issue. The two ways to fix the problem would be to 1. nerf or outright remove the healing and buff the armor (not reduce). The second option would be to change how shield mechanics work and allow it to mitigate all damage, however this would require the heavy armor tanks to have the shield chance tweeked aswell. This is only accounting for Tanking, DPS aspects for Assassin/shadow are a complete joke compared to most other classes.

lolarrrrrpeeeee

Only reasoning behind the nerf was pvp. The problem with their logic is its based purely on the solo pvp mindset. If you add in a backpack healer into the mix, A jug or PT become alot harder to take down then a Sin, and they can run DPS hybrid specc's wile doing it.

Sounds like someone failed at statistics and math. Assassin/shadow armor in with dark charge was half that of heavy armor in tank stance. Also take into account that dark charge healing proc is only around 464 every 4.5 seconds (103 HPS) Harness darkness can only be utilized about every 10 second's minimum (average for a extended fight is around 20 seconds). So with 25k health it would heal for 3000 for a full lightning channel, this amounts to 150 HPS. For a total of 203 HPS. Now take tanking into account (sense mechanics behind absorb/shield chance is terrible) The armor difference is around 40% damage reduction between heavy and light armor tanks. Say you get hit for 10k every 3 seconds. The difference between 40% and 80% DR is 4000 / 3 = 1333 health per second. Summery: 203 HPS (pre-change) does not make up for the drastic armor difference as it stands now. Making the logic behind nerfing the healing questionable.

Wont happen, The first two had terrible sells For the most part the series was a bad knockoff of the battlefield series, and the funny part is a player made star wars mod for battlefield, was then battlefront in almost every aspect of gameplay.

Because its cheap, they can have one guy pump it out in a fue days, considering its just a modular map with simple scripting. Chances are they will just reuse a map and make slight alterations event scripting (so it could be done in less time). Its just desperate attempt to make feature list look good to the investors (not the players), before the next wave of layoffs roll around.

Wont happen, a good chunk of investors have pulled out. Bioware Austin has already started the first round of downsizing, they do not have the development budget or manpower to produce any content of value at this point. Unless they get a sudden and vary large boost in development budget, you can consider the game on life support.

At current rate it wont hold 1million subs that long. You also have to subtract the server maintenance and bandwidth costs (not cheap, due to the lack of fiber infrastructure and high demand in the US), coupled with the cost of content development from employee salary to work place utilities, not to mention the 25% royalties to Lucasarts.

That is because he could goof off allday tweeting on his cellphone as opposed to doing his job. In reality though alot of this has to do with internal politics and power struggles. (This is has been happening sense the EA buyout, most of the major developers and writers that made bioware what it was quit because of it.)

Think your trying to generalize the lolarrrrpeeers as "casual". No reality is this game is vary casual friendly, infact it is too casual for the average mmo gamer. Everything is easy to obtain with no real effort or time. The only thing at the moment that is remotely casual unfriendly is the pvp premade vs pug aspect. Crafting in most games is also not casual FYI. Though this game seems more casual than most, considering lv8 purple materials can be obtained without effort by doing the space dailies.

Notice that article does not state a source. If you cannot trace the source then such information should be treated as a opinion/speculation rather than fact. The article also claims "The story runs 1,600 hours" (note the word "story" rather than saying playtime or gameplay) having played every base class to level cap, i can tell you this simply is not true.

No the report pretty much stated the estimate was speculation from independent analyst . Chances are the budget "leak" was part of a viral marketing tactic (vary common for EA), A analyst quick to jump to conclusions without checking information sources could easily make a bad report based on viral marketing information. EA has never openly confirmed the budget.

KOTOR balanced...... Yah right, kotor had a ton of outright broken game mechanics it was not funny. Hell you could pretty much one shot every boss in the game with a "sneak"attack to the face (in the case of malak, it was more like three hits. sneak attack, monologue, sneak attack, monologue, sneak attack, death monologue)

But people will continue to jump ship, its pretty much to late for this game to make a turn around. EA also never had any intention of this game being a long term success. There goal was to make a quick profit off the box sells. As EA's CEO John Riccitiello stated "I don't think the investors give a sh*t about our quality. They care about our earnings per share." As a consumer the only thing that is going to inspire change is to no longer buy any product under EA.
