Acheilus Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I find it hilarious that there is virtually NO positive threads on these forums. Perhaps those who are delighted by this game are playing and not complaining, or perhaps their not... Bioware should probably be worried about the large amount of hate hey are getting, and work on fixing the easy problems like no chat bubbles... Otherwise, they are risking their "MMO" and to be honest, this was to big of an undertaking to just lose all of that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avean Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Chat bubbles ? Do you really want it back like SWG was ? You could hardly see the enviroment because of all the chat bubbles. If that makes it into the game i am not playing anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHeadCapper Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Seriously? You are suprised that an MMO forum is full of negative posts in the first month? I can't remember an MMO that wasn't including everyone's little golden child WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puremallace Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 According to the WoW forums that game died 7 years ago. Forums = Fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradewindNQ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Angry, frustrated and dissatisfied customers are more vocal than those who either don't care (because they know problems will exist and will get fixed) or are otherwise enjoying themselves too much to care.

Shaede Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The hate is uncalled for. The criticism is certainly not. Sometimes the two are confused. I see a lot more criticism than hate and about as much mindless love as pointless hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kourage Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Exactly what would you have me create a thread about that they won't move into another section? perhaps you should read the other forum sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qoojo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I think it's BW's fault for poor moderation. This isn't a free speech forum. I have no problems with criticism, but far too many of the posts are nothing more than trolls and go way too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannic Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As more and more people progress past level 30, we see fewer and fewer "this game is SOO AWESOME" threads. Wonder why that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangenobi Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Are their issues with this game?

Seigyoku Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Well, there's that saying that goes something like "No news is good news." Like you said, people enjoying themselves have little reason to go out of their way to post their thumbs up on the forums, they're just gonna keep on playing. Therefore, the majority of the threads you're going to see on the forums are going to be some form of complaint. Complaints are good, as long as they're constructive. If they just say "this game sucks", that's horribly vague. But even if someone is nasty in their complaint, if it's constructive, it's still useful. Would it save time/energy if they just left out the nasty bits? Sure, but in the end, BioWare can make far more use of constructive complaints than everyone just going "Yay, me so happy! Me love SWTOR long time!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Failure Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As more and more people progress past level 30, we see fewer and fewer "this game is SOO AWESOME" threads. Wonder why that is. Because every time someone makes one people like you show up and tell them, "NO! You're WRONG! You're NOT HAVING FUN! IT'S FAKE FUN!!!" Then the thread becomes the usual yes-man discussion between the same dozen or so hardcore haters of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigLuvins Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Vocal Minority. Doesn't matter what arena you are dealing with. A happy population is a quiet population making the upset vocal minority that much louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradewindNQ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Or silently quitting. I'd take that over the "I AM QUITTING CUZ OF HERPDERP" threads which are then populated by a staggering number of idiots contributing their own uneducated opinions.

I very much enjoy this game so far and am looking fwd to the future changes. typical i'll informed post 95% of the bugs i have reported to date....i reported back in beta. the only new one is the chat and user interfaces breaking completely. seeing the same green light issues i saw in june, the same kira bug i got in july, the same taral 5 bug in october, and the same issues with the sage quest line i had the entirety of beta says that while i hope youre right.... your hope is misplaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannic Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I think it's BW's fault for poor moderation. This isn't a free speech forum. You're right. They should ban all the fanboys of the game since they do only two things on the forums: 1. Start flamewars and prolong bitter, name-calling arguments with perceived trolls. 2. Start useless commiseration threads to pat each other on the back and console each other over how horrible the forums are. Seriously, from what I've seen fanboys contribute nothing at all to the forums other than the above two items.

djsmileey Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Never ceases to amaze me just how unprofessional people think Bioware or other gaming companies actually are. You can't honestly believe they are just ignoring these threads and casually whistling about as if there is nothing going on. Have you considered that perhaps the very reason they HAVE NOT gone all crazy addressing the public is because the game is doing just fine; and it is truly a VERY SMALL minority living in the forums?

Bull...........I have seen well written, thought out, and constructive threads made only to be flamed and told to go back to WoW, people don't take criticism of ANY kind nicely, someone could have made a meal and then someone could say "Well it was good but it could have used a bit more of this" and they will get up in arms about it.
