discordiaswfan Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow. So many people that are so resistant to having another tab open to It updates as he posts, unlike the forums. Quit with the QQ and just open another damn tab Thanks you are the first person who has linked it. I hate twitter and FB, for multiple reasons (mostly paranoia), but I have to agree with Bio-ware's strategy, the forums are a very small, but VERY vocal minority. I'm sure they will write a forum entry as well, have some patience people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowquinn Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) The idea behind Twitter/Facebook is that people can subscribe to the feed and be given the information the exact moment it is released. Releasing it on the forums means the person would have to come to the forums and then come to the exact part of the forums and then find the thread and then find the part of the thread that's relevant. Also if you wait a few mins they'll also have a thread here on the forums about release. If you were here yesterday you'd know the waves are at 2pm/3pm/4pm/5pm GMT and that they WILL have a thread about it.. That my friend is called DOING YOUR JOB.

Yakito Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Wow. So many people that are so resistant to having another tab open to It updates as he posts, unlike the forums. Quit with the QQ and just open another damn tab I am scrolling down this pile of **** and I see nothing relevant. Nothing in regards to Waves either. So here's my imaginary middle finger to twitter updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JalenTigh Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 But its SOOOOO much easier to answer the same indivudal question over and over again one at a time then to actually answer that question for everyone in one single post here.

JonathanTheBlack Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Twitter and Facebook are awesome for staying in touch with the greatest majority of your customers on a timely basis rather than waiting for them to read something on the forums. Twitter and Facebook are great for getting news out. The official forums are better for actual discussion, not just news. So suck it up and join the rest of the world that embraces social media or get lost and left behind. Your choice.

DixonHilltwo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Agreed. I understand, that the whole world and beyond is using this twitter/FB stuff, but i am not. And i dont like to get important information via 3rd parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah cuz this forum hasn't had to answer the same question over and over again even when the answer is at the top inthe stickies, or in the FAQ:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der_Toter Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yea, using the game forums makes a lot more sense. Third party sites should be in addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazinger-Zetto Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Reid's scared of the forum community. All our rage has hurt his wittle feelings. So much so that he felt the need to yell at the twitter folks. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=16931 Your EGA tears are not real issues. - Paraphrased from Stephen Reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennace Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 That my friend is called DOING YOUR JOB. Why would I spent 5/10 mins searching for information when I can alt-tab to twitter/facebook and get it? They should still release things on the forums, ofcourse, but telling them to stop using Twitte/Facebook would be really counterintuitive; companies now-a-days even hire people to manage their Twitte/Facebook pages because it's such an effective way to spead infomation.

Lamuse Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Well, considering that there are so many threads of people QQing and saying that they are entitled for this and that. I follow Stephen more on twitter than on the forums since it's easier to see what's going on. The Facebook page is awesome as well, but there is also the official SWTOR twitter feed which is here http://twitter.com/#!/SWTOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomanaaiton Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Agreed. **** both facebook and twitter*. *I have both and pretty much never use them. Edited December 15, 2011 by yomanaaiton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostpyro Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 You people complain about everything don't you? They haven't gotten around to updating forums yet about it. The past few days they updated Forums, Twitter, and Facebook. Think you would be glad they use multiple avenues in case forums go down or get too crowded....geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhit Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Have you read the stickies? They do post here. Posting a regular post would just be pushed down with all the trash talk. Which is the 2nd point--anything posted here gets lots of replies. FB and Twitter is a one way feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
