Ainrehtea Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I always find it funny how they complain about it and how bugs should be easy to fix, ect. I'd love to see them try to program anything to be flawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKhayos Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Right. unfortunately, you can't look at the forum as a representation of the population. For each post I see on the forums, I can go ask in General Chat on the fleet about it and have at least one person genuinely unaware that the forums exist. I've always envisioned most MMO forums as a sort of trashcan where complainers can go and rant until they feel better without bothering the people who actually care about the game. //Which makes you wonder why I'm here. Because sometimes digging through the trash is fun. People complain because they have a sense of entitlement, therefore feeling the need to express that entitlement and lack of satisfaction. I think the whiners expect WAY too much, though BioWare hasn't helped their case with their old game engine and various other (IMO, minor) missteps. Things happen. Adults deal with them with minimal complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Efir Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 For certain some things need addressing. I know it will take time and i know it will happen. I can wait. I think a lot of the whinging comes from a certain expectation that has come from a game that has been in development for so long and has had so many resources thrown at it already.

Katzith Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) If it makes you feel any better, I started this thread a short time ago to discuss the positive aspects of the game: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=336478 Edited March 1, 2012 by Katzith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limedust Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) The people who have no complaints are playing the game not lurking the forums. So what's your complaint? The people who have no complaints about this game don't take the time to think about what is actually wrong with it.

Szasstim Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yeah I never played wow. Played lotro that's about it. But yeah I see what your saying bout them being the minority. Its still annoying though. I love this response. It's truly inspirational. Your opening slur to people complaining about this game tells them to go back to playing a game you yourself have no experience of. I'm glad this game has such worldly wise people defending it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtech Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 because they expect the game to be what they want it to be and if it ain't their self entitled butts get all in a uproar. sadly their constant b*tching dose nothing but hurt the community, i mean really if i was on the fence about rather to get this game and logged into the forums and seen nothing but complaints i would more then likely not buy the game. what i find real annoying is that the devs will close down posts saying the game is good because all the trolls jump in and start flaming anyone that actually likes the game so those posts get closed down so you don't rile up the trolls. I think it's more about expectations set by having played other games. Balance (or attempt at it anyway), queues, quests, etc... This game is new so some of the issues are to be expected. But to be missing some pretty obvious functionality while having lots of expensive conversations seem to be what most people are complaining about.

Galatians_II_XX Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I will admit that I am one of those who have complained to the devs like crazy, BUT it is only because I see SWTOR as having an extreme amount of potential in the content and quality of the game that they have here. I know the game has only been out 2 months now, but when you think about it the game was announced shortly after the last installment of KOTOR came out .. about 6 or 7 years ago (if I recall correctly) and they have had that much time to develop and test and fix the bugs... I think that this is what is also bugging a lot of people, it feels as though we the paying customers are paying to be beta testers for bioware lol. but on the whole SWOTR has a huge potential to even out pace WoW as the mmo of choice IF the developers can get the bugs and glitches fixed in a timely manner. It is just a matter of time. after all we all know how crappy WoW was when they first released lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galatians_II_XX Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ADDENDUM TO EARLIER POST: I also see that swtor has some of the same mistakes and problems that led to LOTRO to fail, everquest to fail, mythics "warhammer" , and I want to see that swtor doesnt go down the same road that these other mmo's went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisha Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Why do so many people complain so much? | Today , 04:19 PM 99% of the threads I see on here are of people bitc*ing about how bad bioware is and how many problems the game has and how much they hate it. I dont understand it. All you people whining pay bioware 15 bucks a month to log into a game you all apparently hate. if you really hate it so much cancel your subscription and go back to playing wow in your grandmothers basement. Come at me bro. Sorry for the poor spelling if there is any. This is off my new rezound and Im not quite used to it yet. You do not understand that this game does not have some basic tools like pve matchsystem, endgame, a way to change the stats of my gear, the legacy system, more tools for my ship, a way to change how i look, bugs in general. I'm sure when the first car with air conditioning the following cars for sale also had. this also applied to the SWTOR because there are other free games like DC Universe that part of having the game in many other languages have more tools than SWTOR, so dont said go back to WoW, said why all we have to do every day the same thing 3 WZ Won and 30 kills in ilum, I´m bored I am giving a big oportunity to this game (last two months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiningriver Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's like this... You have a blank sheet of paper. It is of no interest to you since it is blank. When it has a very tiny black dot on it, what you would notice would be the black dot and not the remaining area that are still clean. I'm playing the game happily. Yes, I have some issues, but I could live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintLeviticus Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Well I’m a true RPG’r and stayed away from all MMO’s until SWTOR. I don’t regret that I did, this game is awesome. I can quest alone for hours then hop into space for some missions, join others for Heroic and Flashpoints or smash someone in PVP. All in the Star Wars universe, what could be better?

Matvi Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I'm right there with you about complainers. Bioware did an incredible job executing a new MMO. I'm utterly addicted. Damn you Bioware for your awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfmiolleh Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) It's easy to be frustrated with some aspect of our game play then come here and vent. The numbers will speak the truth about the game. Some truth is reflected in the forums but overall not much real information is represented.

It is still going since like 1998. It was just heavy on time investment and raiding that the casual player got left behind for much of it. I wouldn't say it failed though. It along with UO and others helped lead to other great games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
