ToliverGrey Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 That's fine but, just remember the information IS there you just choose to ignore it...just don't say Bioware didn't inform you or ignore you like a lot of the threads ive been seeing on faction imbalance. No, they still didn't communicate it. It's an obscure interview with an obscure person. If they wanted to communicate it to people they'd actually use writing -- the stuff literate people use to convey information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjetl Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Maybe they can start by not having nearly every class imbalanced in favor of empire? This, plus possibly stop rewarding the zerg side while disincentivizing the underpop'd side in pvp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyanzor Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 No I didn't. If you were Implying that my sig can be used in Biowares case, you should have said "Above all else, I(we, can.) have faith in Biowares path." You directly misquoted what I said, and posted it as if it were what my quote actually said. I don't like inaccurate things like that. Maybe it is a little sensitive, but when you misquote what I write, then I will correct you. Sorry I forgot to add "above all else", I just assumed you being the smart person you seem to be you would've added the rest of the words for me....and you did, thanks!

Toweleeeie Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Gabe thinks the current player base cant handle abilities acting differently in PvP and PvE. What an insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealAeiouy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Won't watch a long video to find info. If the interview had been written out I could have found what interested me in 2 minutes instead of 25. I agree. Videos are a horrible way to disseminate straight information Watching an entire video to suss out a two sentence point is silly. Since the op posted it on a forum based on words and writing summarizing it is the only reasonable thing to do. People who just post links to videos in forums are doing it wrong.

That's fine and you are entitle to your own opinion on the information that was giving to you. My point still stands, in writing or the words coming out of the designer himself is still and will be "information". Take it how you want. Just don't say the information isn't there because it's not the the format YOU require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knewt Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The damage has been done but it can be "healed", Bioware is going to come up with some fantastic ideas that may even make Republic more popular than Empire, just wait and see. Unfortunately, they won't test it very well and it will make more people leave the Republic rather than put up with the insane bugginess of whatever they add.

My point still stands. The information IS there just in a video format and not writing. People spending more than hours on these forums posting complaints about how they feel Bioware is ignoring the imbalance issue but they won't spend 25mins watching a video on the information they are looking for...the irony.

VenthiosLestaran Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks for your assumption oracle It's based less on pure assumption as it is more based on historical fact as per their track record of implementing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbruton Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 WoW addressed racial imbalances by making the least desirable races have the best racial abilities. Wow didnt address racial imbalance for FIVE FREAKING YEARS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyanzor Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) It's based less on pure assumption as it is more based on historical fact as per their track record of implementing anything. Off topic but I'll bite, EVERY single MMO EVER released puts out patches on a monthly basis even the big mmo out now. That "big" mmo puts out patches then hotfixes to fix the patches they release on numerous occasions. No developer is perfect even the "snow storm" company.

Winkywinky Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 look they can do alot with abilities and such.. if you make a jedi sage and go dark 3-4 you should get lighting just like the sith... stuff like that will change alot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corebit Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 This is an old interview and Gabe didn't really acknowledge the faction imbalance. He just basically said: "IF there is faction imbalance, we will uhm..think of incentives" From the massive population imbalance, mirror classes & stories all favoring Empire, and the terrible state of Ilum, you can tell this guy is totally clueless about the state of the game.

quaCkeh Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Solution to this problem is cross realm play. No more ques for warzones, endless looking for groups for flashpoints or operations. Ilum is irrelevent since this game engine simply can't handle open world pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fardarter Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 The question isn't if it can be fixed the question is do any of us think BW has a clue as to how to make it happen. My vote is the game will be on life support and EA will jump in and fire some people and then maybe things will get fixed. Hope I am wrong but I am thoroughly underwhelmed at this point.
