  1. Was having a discussion with a friend of mine about the state of SWTOR. My (extremely negative and I admit that) viewpoint is that the game has entered a death-spiral.

     

    Last two years SWTOR generated over 300 million dollars in income. They finally release an "expansion" and while I (hope) initial numbers are great and encourage EA to support the game, quite frankly I'm disappointed in the amount of content and re-everything that went on. (Insert Kalfear's comment about this being a $5 - $8 DLC).

     

    I suspect come March numbers will be down approximately 10% from where they are now. (or the high from 12x to release). Seeing that, I also suspect EA is not going to "support" the game or support less than they do now. This will lead to smaller numbers leading to less support.

     

    I don't see them turning off the servers (Heck, even EQ is still alive and kicking (*)) , but I do see the release of other SW related games.

     

    (*) Just checked and EQ has released their 21st expansion over the past 14 years)

  2. Yep, EA has never released any expansion for any game, ever. Not once. And they never will.

     

    Sports games:

     

    Madden X , no expansion just a new game

    Fifa X, no expansion just a new game.

     

    Wait, I see you moving the goalposts because those are sports and not MMOs

     

    ME 1

    ME 2

    ME 3

     

    Granted, they did release a DLC for ME3 because the ending was so terribad I guess they felt guilty.

     

    Wait, I see you're moving the goalposts again because ME was single-player and not a MMO

     

    Sims

     

    I think we've been down this road before.

     

    But please continue with the snark and not provide any counterpoint.

  3. what he wants is the same number of comms for the same time put in as people running Ops get

     

    Fair enough. Standard 8 m DF / DP SM takes what? 45 minutes to an hour? At the conclusion, each person gets approx 24 elites (6 / boss) and the weekly 12 (iinm). There's also no guarantee on loot.

     

    So...for solo play, to get 36 elite comms, the OP would have to run (at 45 minutes apiece) 12 solo missions to equate to the time spent by the 8 players.

     

    So, repeatable (daily) 3 elite comm solo missions? Sure, I can wrap my head around that.

     

    EDIT: To be fair, however, no God-bot in these solo missions.

  4. The combat team is the same bunch who advocated wholesale changes because players (in NIGHTMARE OPs) were exceeding the "baseline". Not ceiling - "baseline".

     

    So, as some of us pointed out in the damage thread - level 60's NOW are doing about the same damage as a level 55 pre 3.0.

     

    Enjoy running DF / DP until 4.0 drops.
