Blue Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, So really I dont think this is a bad thing. If anything its a good sign that BIOWARE is playing their game! There are definitely things being addressed quickly. One thing that brought some concern for me though with this post was that Cory only has 1 level 45 character. This is a Sorc on Empire. While this is the largest demographic of players, it does tend to make me wonder if this may have related to the UNINTENDED faction imbalance? I personally believe the factions and classes could use some tweaking, and that we will see some improvement. I would like to ask bioware though to continue to play the additional classes and see the disparity between classes same side and even the disparity between the same MIRROR classes. C: I do make time to play the game myself. I obviously check it up on our development servers, to see what’s coming up the pipe and then i definitely spend some time on the live servers. I have a level 45 Sith Sorcrerer that I’m playing right now and I’m really enjoying it. My favorite activities in the game, besides progressing my story, are Flashpoints… they are a big draw for me. I love that sort of short and focused group content. I also like Warzones and space combat. I do my space dailies almost every day. It’s something I can do quickly and hop out if i need to do a call or get into a meeting. http://www.dualshockers.com/2012/01/26/interview-biowares-cory-butler-and-the-future-of-star-wars-the-old-republic/ Edited January 27, 2012 by Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarthorn Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 And now we have our answer, nothing wrong with playing your own product, plenty wrong when there is bias towards a side and class and the devs happen to be playing it. Maybe after playing for a little bit in the level 50 WZ Cory might notice the gear disparties at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalFinality Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Why do I suspect he's not the only dev who does, just the only one who admitted it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abriael Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Yeah, because ONE bioware Dev playing a sith sorc obviously creates a biased advantage for the class. Because the team isn't formed by hundred of people Now you'll tell me that you know for a fact that they ALL play sith sorcerers Edited January 27, 2012 by Abriael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyde Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) The entire dev team has their own guild. They are all Mercs and Sorcs. Edited January 27, 2012 by Spyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abriael Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 How is this a troll? It's true... and frankly not surprising. It's an obvious troll. The class played by *one* bioware dev is hardly of consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoobings Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The only thing that bothers me about this post is that he isn't 50. I know he's a busy guy, but shouldn't he be GIVEN a level 50 character so he can have some insight on what is needed for end game content (PVP and PVE)? Devs, it's ok to fudge the numbers on this one and have yourselves start at 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs, it's ok to fudge the numbers on this one and have yourselves start at 50.I'm sure they've 50's on the development enviornment, but from what I've read they all deliberately were made level up from scratch on the live servers so they could experience everything the way the players actually were.

Devs, it's ok to fudge the numbers on this one and have yourselves start at 50. I don't know many games in which devs are given automatic 50s in the live servers. It's considered bad form and unfair to the customers. he plays on the dev servers as well,and in there I'm quite sure he can have all the 50s he want.

GregoriusMaximus Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Congratulations. You've won the award for Biggest Douche in the Universe. John Edwards will be heartbroken. Do you REALLY THINK that EA/BW would spend $200m and many many years of hard work making a game, then just before the end ruin it by creating a faction imbalance because they care more about their e-peen than their years of hard work, their art and their jobs? How dumb are you? You're saying that beating your sorry behind in WZs is worth millions of dollars. I'm sorry. It's not.
