DralenBrand Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Nice, BioWare's been already trolling us, now they are making it more and more obvious to see when we actually snap. If I didn't know that things like this are usualyl decided well in advance by a marketing department that has nothing to do with patches and game balance issues, I would agree that this thread actually feels like BW is flaming/trolling its own players, lol.

Zorvan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 So why not give all those who pre-ordered this medal in stead of those who continue to sub? Because they fail at disguising their desperation to keep people from leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakkafex Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) yay cool stuff. and whats with all the hate? what im gathering is that pvp people didnt get their title or something? ive yet to see something bad in the game apart from a few glitches Edited January 19, 2012 by dakkafex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehIdiot Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Awesome, I love it- rewards are cool. Should be fun to have, especially a few years from now. But I'm gonna go make a really big bowl of popcorn for this thread. I'm sure you understand. I just pulled my bag outta the microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenze Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 a medal is ok, a title is nice but what you should really do is give everyone access to the super fantasticly, awesome ViP Lounge and the CE store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirUrza Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow. What a sad, desperate attempt to hold on to subscriptions. Not quite as sad as giving away a $60 game for a 1 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimer_Lins Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) Wanting a working game and hoping they actually fix stuff with their patches rather than breaking it is truly, truly outrageous. I've been playing multiplayer games since the 1970's. Nothing ever works right the first time they patch it- except in the rare and happy case. It's always the same, too. I've seen the complaints bandied about today on the forum for every MMO I ever played. I've seen it on the mailing lists for MUDs and MUSH games. I've seen it on the snail-mail digest of play-by-mail games. I've heard people say it verbally in my physical presence about a game we played which didn't have any player-to-player communication because it was 1979. New content breaks things. Developers will always be accused of not listening. Game design staff will always be told they should fix bugs before releasing new content, but at the same time will be told they're idiots for delaying new content. Some users will never be happy. They cannot be pleased; it is an impossibility to do so. A good game company will simply listen to them, nod their heads and smile, and carry on. Now, the rest of us who understand that stuff happens will chuckle, pick up the mouse and adapt to the circumstances and play for as long as the game continues to deliver entertaiment commensurate with its price.

Zorvan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Not quite as sad as giving away a $60 game for a 1 year contract. Least Square-Enix learned to admit when they screwed up. EAware will learn the same lesson soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylez Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 This has to be a joke. You were actually working on this while the game is in this condition? The UI is horrible, the ability delay is a joke, no ToT yet, unbalanced classes are ruling PvP, graphics which were promised to be good are not, PvP que times are now very long, no manditory rollback of the failed valor gain on the IMP side, no meters, no macros, no addons, etc.... And BW was working on a title? You guys are so out of touch with what it means to have customers and what it means to respond to customers. You spend your money on forum mods that are basically cut and paste bots and post a few blog posts about the future, but you do not deal with the issues. Sad, just sad. Hire someone that will talk to the community about the real needs and concerns, not a joke of a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenze Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I don't see what's so worthless about the title. You are being a little too harsh imo that wasnt harsh. it was realistic. maybe its time to put away the rose colored glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KippTabor Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Oh please. This was probably in the pipeline since beta. The timing is going to be attacked no matter what they do. Exactly. It's kind of amusing watching these kids exaggerate and spin everything in an attempt to impress one another though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
