ISDcaptain Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 havent heard from erickson for quite some time, is he still on the dev team or he jumped boat amongst all this mess EA is causing the game to go through personally i feel sorry for daniel and company since they get bossed around by the idiots in suits who just want to grab our wallets I bet if the devs were in full control of the game then there wouldnt be this many loss of subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon_strikes Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I was also curious on Dallas Dickinson and some of the other guys we've seen in the SWTOR videos before the game was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardwear Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) ive read that article what i want to know is daniel erickson still currently on the dev team or did he leave before the incoming storm of fail that F2P bring? I too would like to know the answer to this question and now that you mention it, it does seem as though many of the senior members of the development staff who were the faces of ToR seem to be MIA.

DarthTHC Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Both guys' LinkedIn pages indicate they are still with EA/BW Austin. Most people their level who left changed this right away, except Georg Zoeller. Georg was silent for a good long while before we were notified he was no longer with the team, just like both these guys have been. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunablade Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) To bad that Gabe Amantangelo is still here , one would expect him leaving long time ago after Illum failure and the state of current PvP in this game.

Totally agree! The fools made such horrific decisions with this game, I'm shocked ANY of them are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) The restructuring already happened back in May. The free to play announcement was just finally letting the public know what it was all about They didn't just decide to go F2P last month.

I dont have anything against Daniel Erickson tho since I think that this game delivered on the story content and judging by many player opinions story content is one of the best aspects of this game. Only thing for which Daniel E. could be responsible is implementation of useless legacy system about which majority of players dont care about and which most never considered as the content in the way as some of those devs did.

Only thing for which Daniel E. could be responsible is implementation of useless legacy system about which majority of players dont care about and which most never considered as the content in the way as some of those devs did. Somewhere, everywhere, people failed this game. They failed for EA, EA's investors, the loyal Bioware customers, Star Wars fans, MMO fans and many more. It's nothing personal against any of them, but somewhere, someone needed to take charge. There's no chance every one of the people working there felt this was even close to a reasonably good investment/game. EVERY member of upper management should have been removed imo. They were allowed their freedom, they were allowed to mock their customers, they claimed they had 'everything you'd expect in a AAA MMO'. They lied. They mislead. They squandered. It's a poisoned team. The game simply doesn't reflect the investment...not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammersteinSW Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Stephen "Rockjaw" Reid was also a casualty during the layoffs. Doesn't really speak for a product when they terminate their community director, it pretty much means "F*** the community". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What topic did they bombard him with that havent been a topic for 3-4 week? Canthar race is the newest topic he discusses and how old is that?
