-Zajo- Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Heres the problem with this "It's further out from launch, so we can have much more of the team focussed on it" focus on new content does not seem logical. Becuse chances are it will be implamented in a halfassed fashion just like the current content (that was complained about during closed beta and never addressed). Right now the biggest concerns for this games survival are not content. They should have most of there team focussed on fixing there core gameplay mechanics, crafts, aswell as vendor/gear systems including the current daily system in place. At the moment all these aspects seemed rushed with little forsight in there design. All these aspects had been complained about sense Closed beta and never addressed. As of right now i have not seen sweeping bug fixs and changes, even 1.1 does not address alot of major issues, just minor easy to fix API script edits. Overall the feels like bioware is repeating mythic's mistakes. (all these rumors of there outsourced programming and art staff dont inspire much confidence ether) I'll have to agree on this. Glad to see they are communicating a bit to the player base but unfortunately I'm not as confident the future patches/additions will sort the issues some are stuggling with 8 months ago, 1 month ago and right now. ... and tomorrow and next week and next month.

biere Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You must be new to MMO's, The level is only a speedbump for character progression into end game. If you wanted story go play a single player game. its cheaper and overall a better experience if you enjoy that sort of thing. SWTOR is story focused not end game focused. You obviously didnt understood anthing about games in general. A game start at level 1 not max level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katharis Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 "In terms of game systems we're releasing the full Legacy system. It's a system that really benefits players who like to play alts - instead of having characters who have no relation to each other you can create a family, and when you're playing any member of that family you earn experience points for your Legacy tree." So disappointing. I am all about playing alts, but this does not 'benefit' me at all. Quite the opposite, as I *DO NOT WANT* my alts to be members of a 'family'. I want them to be altogether different and individual characters. With different names. Damn it. Boo, Bioware. Boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniigoldo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Sorry, but once I'm gone, I'm gone. I keep going back to WoW because it's a excellent game with a few bad ideas, the main problem is the content delivery speed, if WoW had content patches each month, even just a new instance, I'd never have left. TOR is just a WoW wanna-be with clunky, delayed combat, laggy PvP even with sub 20ms pings and high end hardware (talking both frame rate and actual latency), and the sheer fact there is no choice, you're going to do x, y and z in that order, over and over and over, there is no options, whereas leveling up in WoW you at least have some options in where you go to make it less tedious. go back to that 1 pixel junk and dont break our balls already wow is starting to die lose 1 mil in a year and keep loosing and loosing subs each month. have fun to your -10 mmo farmville piece of crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(all these rumors of there outsourced programming and art staff dont inspire much confidence ether) you honestly dont think they have just as many people working on bugs/mechanics/core design? they're a pretty big corporation and i highly doubt they need you to try and direct what they should be putting their effort into. the article was about new content, so why would they mention the other half of all their employees working on fixing what's already in the game?

jarjarloves Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Pro Tip: Take all of Your ppl working on 2013 projects and make them help on fixing current top priority issues like textures, FPS, ability delay, bugs. yes because everyone who works on a MMO knows how to debug and look at code. Artists, level designers, and writers all secretly are experts at debugging When will people realize that the choice is never new content or debug? Companies can do both you know.

Cancrizans Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Love the positive post but I still can't get the act that they are forcing all of my characters to have the same last name. This is supposed to be an rp/immersion based system? Ya I can really buy that my Mirialan Jedi and Twi'lek Smuggler and Human Trooper all have the same last name...that is bordering on an insulting and lazy way to incorporate surnames into the game. The whole concept smells like BS imo, at least with the forced surnames as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole concept smells like BS imo, at least with the forced surnames as it is. Come one man, it's an extra feature. If you don't want the same last name, turn it off. It's simple. As for the article, I liked it a lot. A lot of good information, and some actual dates when things are going to be released. Guild Banks are a must, and I hope they add a lot more features as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aepervius Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) You must be new to MMO's, The level is only a speedbump for character progression into end game. If you wanted story go play a single player game. its cheaper and overall a better experience if you enjoy that sort of thing. Not really no. MMO cater to different kind of people, PVPer , raider, etc... For example I like to explore, find niche stuff, boss not everybody find, read the story, sniff at the flower, etc... As a raider, YOU think the level 1-50 content is just there for the grind after 50 to prepare you. You are only 1 type of gamer MMO cater to. In fact TOR is catering to single story player a LOT, by having all those 8 different story. I can tell you for one I have no intention to speed through those and no intention whatsoever to raid. None of your and my gameplay is the king or whatever. We just have different approach and neither is better nor worst than the others. Just different. I wish those people which psot "1-50 is only a speedbump" would start to realize that it is only their viewpoint and not really more valid than other's. ETA: to make my point clear , WOW is DEVOID of content comapred to TOR's 8 stories. Edited January 13, 2012 by Aepervius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
