Turista Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I see other possible directions this game could go in, and they're better than the current one. Criticism makes games better, not worse. Iteration makes games better, not worse. Stagnation and complacency make games worse. This game is not your baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattderp Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) it really isn't... my patience for this game is running rather thin. Can someone name a patch where something major didn't go wrong/break? I sure can't... Edited April 13, 2012 by Mattderp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebbikenezer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I see other possible directions this game could go in, and they're better than the current one. Criticism makes games better, not worse. Iteration makes games better, not worse. Stagnation and complacency make games worse. This game is not your baby. You are absolutely correct but let's not forget: Volatile criticism makes a game's community WORSE, not better, thereby making the game worse. Ridiculously over repeated iterations make games stagnant via the same boring repetitive complaints people have to wade through to glean insight from constructive criticism, NOT more exciting. Stagnation and complacency are caused by people simply getting tired of the above issues and so they just lay back instead of trying to make themselves heard over the nonsensical clamor of thousands of pages of rhetorical minutia clogging the forums and game chat. And so yes, those things are issues, but the issues don't originate out of thin air, they are born of people insisting that THEIR issue which is EXACTLY THE SAME as a hundred other issues pushed out at the same time... are more important. So while your point is extremely valid, and I tend to agree: it's the origination of those things that point directly back to the OP, of which his point is also valid and understood.

JediJoeK Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Growing pains. It is what it is, every MMO has it's woes. Criticism does make things better, although that isn't all the game is getting. As in a wall of flame... Pay no attention to the ones who say "unsubbing" or "I'm going to quit." Idle threats, nothing more. Go ahead and leave... I'd rather play with the loyal ones anyways.

Ebbikenezer Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 this games community was already bad from day 1 pro tip.look at world of warcraft,theres your community of sw tor Oh, I already know. We have a "Post of the Day" we vote on that we rip straight from SWTOR or the WoW forums each raid night before we pull. It's rather amusing, and it gives us a good laugh for the rest of the night while we clear content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arbehrends Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 This thread is pointless. They killed their game with the free 30 days to "loyal" customers. Been playing since pre release with no intentions of canceling. Well, I have 4 days left til my sub expires because I'm not a loyal customer...I have no level 50. No need to pay another month. GL with the the few who didn't unsub after that stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Jedi hit the nail on the head. This game, and the staff is amazing. Think about this: They gave 1 free day of play b/c of today's "downtime." They gave 1 free month to current players with L50 toons. Can you name ANY other MMO that rewards its players this way? I don't care if they have unexpected downtime, the fact that they communicate this quickly, instead of leaving vital parts of a game broken make the difference to me.

GL with the the few who didn't unsub after that stunt. So, you're saying that people with level 50's in the game are "few"? Ok. Seems odd to me an MMO, 4 months after release would have so few and little amount of level capped characters, but hey, I don't have the statistics just going by my own decade of MMO experience.

arbehrends Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, too bad the majority of players in MMO's these days are casual. I guess you're too busy being a loyal lvl 50 to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
