Typing in "LFG DUNGEON X" for hours every day until you are literally paying to be miserable will make 13 days feel like a month to any sane man. Or even 19 days....

You dont need metrics or any other nonsense, all you need is players like me who have spent literally hours standing in town typing in the same message over and over to the point of frustration telling you we want one. If you dont want one then dont use it. This is not a complicated issue lol. The only thing complicated is people who dont need to use it being vocal about trying to block the people who do want to use one allowing Bioware to be lazy developers by not having to make one. All logic points to absolute facepalm.

Typing in "LFG DUNGEON X" for hours every day until you are literally paying to be miserable will make 13 days feel like a month to any sane man.

It also does not give you an ETA on when the run will start which is quite essential to me not wasting my time. Standing in town typing "LFG DUNGEON X" for 45 minutes or more is not creating a social experience, its wasting my time.

If you dont want a dungeon finder then do not use one, the people that realize this game would be much better with one can use it.

Im waiting for the GiantBomb review, they are literally the ONLY gaming review site in the entire world that is not payed off and owned by a coorporate entity, and they are by far the best reviewers/game site out there in terms of quality content aswell. After the Kane and Lynch distaster the crew from Gamespot left to make giantBomb, and they deserve peoples support, stop using sold out garbage sites like gamespot and go support GiantBomb people!

A 3rd grader can figure out what to do, we have spent many hours at this point doing it over and over and it bugs out every time. We just gave up and did PVP.

We did some nightmare trash and I was solo healing because we were both just standing there bored. the other healer just started doing dps. Overall the healing is really light in raid, nowhere near the healing required in a 5 man. The healing in raid is supposed to be more intense than a 5 man, not less...

On hard mode ops the dps are having a blast maxing themselves, me and the other healer are falling asleep. Whats the deal?

We dont have the time to make the actual gameplay good, we need to add more fluff RP voice scenes!!

We spent 4 hours of our life today trying everything you could possibly imagine on the puzzle only to find out its bugged. All it is, is a puzzle that turns, how could you make that bugged? Thats got to be embarrasing. boo to the Bioware dev that even came up with this horrid abortion of a boss, we want to fight dragons, not click this pathetic puzzle...rancid design idea, take the guy who came up with this idea and either fire him or get him off the raid design team. PATHETIC.

The amount of time we have to spam space bar and wait in BT makes it almost unbearable. The fluff RP scenes were cute the first or second time, after that its the worst instance because theres waaay too much RP.

done it 7 times tonight perfectly, locked up every time.

Not true because I have never stopped playing and reading about them, im not some fossil, Ill put the smack down on most people here in Starcraft 2 right now. Also your logic is flawed because theres no interacting with a TV show, playing games is a skill. You could throw in any game from any genre on any system and I would atleast roughly know the controls before i even touched it just knowing the genre and era it was made. Again my point still stands, gaming is special, not just something bland to lump everyone into the same category. When I was young people made fun of gamers, there were only 3 or 4 of us on the school bus ride home and everyone else was too cool. Now that gaming is so socially accepted everyone thinks there as much of a "gamer" as me. The answer is no, we are all not built equally in this hobby, its offensive to me to think some noob considers himself on my level as a gamer.

Right, but your supposed to enjoy it because its a very tough challenge that takes intense dedication to overcome, and when you do you get a great sense of accomplishment. Thats what gaming is, and these days its getting twisted because the games are so appealing looking that non gamers want to play them, and they want the game to make them feel like a hero without actually earning it through tons of dying and trying. For me its tainting gaming in a horrible way, as an OG gamer its sad to see my beloved hobby thats helped hape who I am get twisted by casual gamers and money hungry companies that dont actually love the games they are making.

BUT ITS IMPOSSIBLE without a Game Genie!

So we were both there towards the beginning, I played intellivision and Atari. I have watched gaming grow from the very beginning and played every genre on every system extensively. There is a massive difference between a new gamer and someone with over 20 years experience playing video games. These new spoiled kids that started on XBOX 360 or Farmville have no clue. Arguing semantics is pointless, the point is there is a HUUUUUUUGE gap between someone like me who still owns every EGM made in the 1990's and can tell you the name of the publisher and developer and alot of the times the name of people on the team that made any random game you name in less than 20 seconds from memory. Im not bragging, just making the point that lumping all gamers together is a ridiculous idea, thats like saying some kid in his yard tossing a football is the same as Joe Montana.

I have a nice eye opener for you, this one might blow your mind. theres a vid of a really good player rocking mass effect 2 solo on insane. As you can clearly see Mass Effect has amazingly smooth gameplay with a very high possible skill cap. So yea, lots buy ME for the gameplay, its damned amazing.

Thats what they make exploration dailies and cute pets for, the casuals. Nothing wrong with Bioware taking the time to add things in the game for the mom and pops players to do. The same exists for raids for true gamers, casuals dont need to see inside the raid, its the place to make the uber content. Even the normal mode raids should be brutal, the hard modes should be nearly impossible.

I got a NES for X-mas when i was 8 with dragon warrior, and mario/duck hunt, since then I have darn near lived and breathed video games. There is nothing wrong with "true gamer" and nothing at all wrong in admitting you are one. If someone went from farmville being there first game to SWTOR being there second, then welcome to the world I have lived in for over 20 years, but understand there is a vast difference between us. Thers nothing wrong with pointing this out.

because anyone with a 3rd grade level of intelligence knows that when you make a video game, you first design the systems and engine to run silky smooth before you add any of the "fluff". And yes no matter what some of you may thing "story" is literally "fluff". Theres no point putting icing on the cake then trying to improve the cake later, you make a nice cake then worry about the silly icing.

Its ok for there to be aa story, BUT the gameplay in a video game is first and foremost, period. Its ok for there to be a story if theres no ability delay, its ok for there to be a story if abilities do not misfire, its ok for there to be a story if the content is sufficiently difficult as to challenge the highly skilled players, its ok for there to be a story if the frame rates are already silky smooth. I could go on and on, but "story" should NEVER be the #1 priority, it is and will ALWAYS be #2 behind the actual gameplay quality. I wouldnt even be making this post if I werent so frustrated that they have patched the game multiple times already but have not fixed the EMERGENCY!!!!! issues such as those listed above, in fact they should have made darn well certain the important parts were smooth as butter before they even uttered the word "story".

Beat Ninja Gaiden black on insane difficulty and your a true gamer.

your missing the really bad part, its go to the ship that takes you off the planet, then run through some space station, then run through another space station, then run through a hallway from an elevator, then run through a dock 200 yards to actually get to your ship, to then sit in a loading screen that takes you to another loading screen which then takes you to another loading screen........ I can only imagine after a year+ how unbelievably increasingly annoying this very arduous process is going to get.

A progamer would buy an alienware?! That sounds awfully fishy.
