DEPTH. There needs to be more depth. If you add complexity to the crafting system and addd various other freeform sandbox elements, people can have fun out in the back yard with their stick. What I find is this MMO is very much on rails. The experience is almost claustrophobic, very directed and the story turns out to be more of a straight-jacket than a liberating influence. I think they have just not been able to envision, grasp and hold in their imagination the totality of an MMO world of this background and style. Their skill and experience in coding have not been able to save the project from this initial lack of concept. There must have been some very early design decisions which helped create this straight-jacket, but it is also clear there is very little new creative thinking taking place. Within the limitations they have already imposed on themselves I am not sure if they can change this much, but we will see.

If it was calling someone the N word you would be up in arms, but it's ok to hate gay people and use the word in an offensive way. People just need to be a bit more responsible. To any gay kids reading this who are playing the game, just ignore anyone who is being abusive: you are supported by the vast majority. Grow a hard skin, you will need it, but you also don't have to accept being abused. Rise above it and don't take on a victim mentality or you are finished. The people using this kind of speech are invariably stupid and ignorant rednecks.

They own Mythic already, they don't have to hire them. Mythic (and just about everyone EA could get their hands on) were thrown at the game as it hit trouble a couple of years back, when they were sacking directors etc as the project ran out of control.

6/10 message too short crap

Give us a ****ink answer you bunch of mute devs! Stop treating us like a pile of chumps!!! Your silence and poor communication with your player base is lamentable.

It's not the Q's or bugs I'm worried about, it's the fundamental design choices they made. Plus other things like crafting being made useless due to not enough money in the economy, people can't buy things and if you craft you won't get your speeder. The money flow issue was raised repeatedly in beta and they should have worked on it. This is just one design example, but there are many unfortunately. It could be fixed by a 15 to 20% increase in monetary loot. They should have fixed that already. Mark my words, they *will* increase monetary flow by 15-25%, I am happy to put a bet on it if anyone will take me up. My guess is it will be in 1.10. But it should have been sorted already, and this has spoiled my 1-50 journey first time around as crafting/economy is broken. Sharding/instancing: the way things have been instanced has made the world feel really small and ruined the MMO feel. Again, this will have been an early design choice, and a poor one. I could go on and on, but won't. They have a lot of stuff right. The artwork is fantastic considering they have used a crap engine that will work on crappy old computers as well. The world is huge and would be immersive if it wasn't soi sharded. VO is great (though it gets old quickly.) I'm just surprised that it isn't a lot better than it's turned out, but I think they lost their way, and you can see evidence of that now it's released.

My main issue is it just doesn't feel like an MMO, just a dead world. I have a level 28 but struggle to log in to be honest. There are just so many bad design decisions, even with the fluff of a cartoon storyline, it still doesn't compensate for this. I heard a couple of years ago that the game was in trouble, from a friend who worked at Mythic. Reading through the credits you can see they fired a couple of the main directors part the way through, so they obviously thought so too. I can't put my finger on it, others already have in more detail, but it's just disappointing to me and I feel sad about that as I have looked forward to it for so long. I think I will go back to another MMO after the free month and maybe come back if there are some changes. I'm not totally sure of that, but will see how I feel. It definitely is not near blowing me away like I thought it would. Maybe EA just ruined another studio? Dragon Age 2 was awful too compared to the original. Good things can;t last forever and I think Bioware lost it's way with the EA deal. I suspect some of their employees feel the same.

This thread is packed full of people who's self-esteem and personal wellbeing seems to be threatened by criticism of the game. People frantically trying to silence the OP, saying he has no right to even speak, must be mad. It's like Gallileo when he stated the world wasn't flat - people wanted him lynched. If the OP's comments cause you this kind of concern then I suspect you need some professional help with your mental health. This is a game, he can say what he likes, and because his opinions differ from yours, this does not, in fact, make him insane or bad. IF you feel bad inside like someone has insulted YOU over this whole incident, then you are a sad sack. BTW I think your girlfriend is ugly. How does that make you feel? R A G E . R A A W R . M E . M E . M E. DOES NOT COMPUTE - BANG!

Nope, it's definitely Andrew Robinson (Garak from DS9). I have watched that series through 13 times and I know his voice. I stuck a sample of both into goldwave and looked at the frequency peaks - they match. It's Andrew Robinson. How come they won't credit the voice actors? That seems very strange to me.

I like funny names, and the rude ones tickle me a bit, but I suppose if you have kids playing it's a bit iffy.

My experience of it: I used the same system on Rift. It broke one night when we were raiding, I removed it and never looked back since, will never use again. It's all very well until the time it doesn't work and you are stuck talking to an indian call centre who cannot follow simple (primary level) logic and have never seen the game, have no reference to your world at all. Just my thoughts.

You can also get these for $119.99 on pre-order at Walmart.

Mine just came with a little pair of crutches - I was really hurt

This is only a problem if you have a ship. I am level 16 and have no ship - how do I get one please, so I too can have this inconvenience?

I do remember doing 32 hours in Lower Guk, when you close your eyes and try to sleep you are back in the game, horrible I bet he didn't get much sleep afterward.

LMAO hahhhaha... I would pay for the cam on that one lol Grats to the OP, it is an achievement (of some sort)

You didn't offend me at all. Just build a bridge and get over it - there are people starving in India and stuff, it's not the end of the world. Just get Bioware to replace the wee tooter and play on, problem solved.

No I think Queue. But, if it's stuck at 1 then that would be annoying.

Who cares? Just get them to replace the little wibbly thing and keep playing? Can you not just go through the hardship (?!) of not authenticating for a few days? I could understand if you were 7 or something, or it meant you couldn't play the game at all.
