agrik Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Swtor is dying. The population is suffocating, and the developers couldn't care less. That just about sums it up folks. Now watch out, them mods like to close down threads due to "thread is getting off track.". I don't know whether to be annoyed at them or appreciative.

WickedDjinn Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 In what regards exactly? the only game id released that was a true flop was RAGE, majority of the time Raven Software makes the games that people think are id (Quake 4, Wolfentein (the newest), Hexen, Heretic) or Splash Damage (The Enemy Territory Series)... id's engines have been masterwork, and their inhouse games (RAGE excluded) have been well received... not to mention that they have run one of the biggest gaming conventions for the past decade (Quakecon). Also, Valve's Gabe Newell has even stated that Valve wouldn't exist if not for id Software. Quote is as follows: I was unaware, good to know, thanks for the info. I had a long response typed up, but thinking about it further you're correct about id. My beef with that company and it's games are more about my personal preferences as far as the direction I wish the company had taken, over actual quality. I can't think of any bad games they've produced. Games I didn't like? Yeah, but I don't have to like a game to make an objective judgment as to whether it's good or not. Damn it, now I have to find a whole new topic to argue about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasen Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Here it is honestly you want to no why swtor is failing all you need to know is watch the stock report https://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:EA# this is incredible how much there stock has dropped in the last 3 month or even better yet check out the drop from the time swtor was released. No money = no swtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TUXs Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Too many issues with the game, poor communication from the community team, and the all around deafening silence from Bioware has killed any excitement for SWTOR. Best summary yet. The silence from the developers is like a cancer in every community I've ever been a part of in MMOs. A LITTLE bit of communication and "yeah, we hear you" goes a long way. Bioware's communication is as much of a mess as their game right now - people need to follow them on twitter, facebook, youtube, MMO sites and here to hopefully get an idea of what's going on, heck, until the site revamp, patch notes weren't even linked. Disarray, disorganization and sloppy is all I can think of to describe how they have been as an MMO developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintor Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 True.... I'm so sick of this holy trinity, linear quest trail gaming that WoW made popular it makes me what to toss chunks... I was hoping for some originality, and got nothing.. Perfectly stated. I think I'm done with MMO's for a bit. I can't understand how I possibly EJOYED WoW for all that time.

Celebrus Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I know.

Both would be true statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorvath Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Blizzard has always had their act together. I've played their games since the first Warcraft, and while no company is perfect there is almost no game company that can compete with them, release for release, in terms of overall quality.

DorkTrooper Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The game was covered pretty extensively in various media when 1.2 was released. It will be covered again when 1.3 is out, probably to a lesser extent. Releases, expansions, and financial reports are the big game news-makers it seems. What new news is there to cover right now?

EJedi Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Maybe Diablo 3 has worse bugs then swtor dont buy it? It doesn't, though. It only has release-day connectivity issues. Try really hard to remember back to release WEEK of SWTOR. Give D3 a few days, and it will be fine. I gave TOR 5 months of beta and 6 more months of live. We're approaching a year of my life that they've ignored 99% of my bug reports, and progressively broken more and more of the things that I really do find game-breaking for me.
