wutru Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/16178-developer-q-a-live-blog-with-bioware Saw this Q&A link posted on mmorpg.com forums, the Q&A article was from March 12, 2011. How much is instanced? JO: The game is not linear single-player. Alderaan is 7-8 World of Warcraft Zones in size. Phasing is used, but it is not everywhere. DE: Phasing is used to ensure pivotal plot points are immersive. No lines to fight bosses. Everything to Cloud City an example - Luke goes off to fight Vader alone. (cloud city not mentioned as in game, only as example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluerodian Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 The same James Ohlen who said a bunch people hitting a single monster was not heroic and something they would not be using for endgame? And also the same James Ohlen that believed there was a conspiracy on Metacritic about TOR? Yeah.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helistin Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hmm, maybe he should play the game atleast once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluerodian Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Personally, I think its safe to start calling these things "Ohlenisms". cloud city not mentioned as in game, only as example Really?

MikelGoff Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 And also the same James Ohlen that believed there was a conspiracy on Metacritic about TOR?

Gungan Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Has any other developer spewed as many clear cut falsities as often as BioWare recently? Seriously, like 12 solid quotes about ME3... and now SWTOR too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidrowbro Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 What's more impressive is that people can trash talk the devs with blatant insults and the mods to these forums don't even bat an eye, but you dare open a thread about how much you like the game.....

jgelling Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Maybe that was before they went into full-fledged panic get something out the door mode? Before developers broke down in tears as feature after feature was slashed and burned and pillaged like a defenseless medieval town? Anyhow James Ohlen, SWTOR is more linear than the DMV at lunchtime. Edited May 28, 2012 by jgelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgelling Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) If you guys hate the game and the devs so much, why are you still here? The game still has two things going for it: Star Wars and BW's superior story-telling. Unlike, say, Blizzard, BW knows how to find good writers. And if this game weren't Star Wars it would be the biggest flop of all time. But still, it has those two things, and it's not dead yet, so until it's clear it's dead there are still plenty of fans hovering around waiting to see.
