WushuDragon_ Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is it just me or is Bioware starting to get a little too greedy with their stupid Cartel Market, and overlooking issues that NEED to be addressed in the game. They're more f**king concerned with making money, then doing anything to fix what USED to work. Important things like fixing the issues with the "preview gear" on companions, or "inspect player" actually showing more than the player's portrait and your gear, or even the Glitches in the AH! I can't be the only who is annoyed by this. How about giving us the ONE f**king thing that we've wanted since day one: The Ability to Toggle our Hoods. I don't care if you make us have to buy it in the CM. What do they give us instead? Axes.... I don't want to hear the sympathizers that will say "well, those things take a lot of time fixing issues and they're "working on it." These fixes take time but they have time to make NEW gear and NEW Cartel Packs, but nto fix something that's needed to be fixed a while? Bioware is heading done the very dark, money grubbing path of Sony Online Entertainment...and we veterans of Online games know how well that's working for SOE.

No, ofcourse you're not the only one to see, and be annoyed by this. But as I said in another thread, most of us saw this coming the moment they announced F2P. And they have even stated before that they will be adding more and more Cartel Packs throughout the weeks. This is also why my sub will expire again (as I cancelled it back in July) in 3 more days. If I want to throw $10 at a game, it'll be PS2 or GW2 for the time being. But I doubt I'll give BioWare a third chance at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMalic Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Since they are not getting many subscribers from the whole Free to Play option they are beefing up the cartel market to pad the pockets of their executives. Instead of fixing the issues that keep pushing more and more people away. Why is it coming from the fan base that we see what is occurring more and more, but the brilliant minds that they employ do not see what is really going on. Hell I made a post earlier on similar topics and within a few minutes it was deleted. Seriously hiding the fact that their is more issues at hand than flooding the economy with garbage catered to the F2P clan is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendari Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Maybe the bug fixes will make the next line-up of Cartel Market items: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=583257 (that thread is a joke, but I'd seriously rather pay for a working game than a bunch of useless junk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT for them to be ignored or "put on the back burner" so they can find out more ways to make money of me...even AFTER I'm paying the $15 a month....

Torvik Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I totally agree with you. I wish they would start adressing some of these game play issues. We may be in the minority with each of these issues individually, but just as in politics the when you put all the minorities that have game issues together, they become a very large group. Even though I am only having one issue at the moment since update 1.4 I feel strongly that these issues need to be resolved for the good of the game. I posted a thread about this today that I'm sure is lost in the abyss forever, but here is the link anyhow. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=583285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjbm Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's been like this since release.

WushuDragon_ Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 They're money whoring, like a said.

Players that were unable to re-obtain this mission can speak to Bren in Section X to continue. Flashpoints and Operations Flashpoints Kaon Under Siege Optimizations have been implemented to improve performance inside this Flashpoint. The Infected Screamer's Brutalize attack now respects player immunities to knockback. Maelstrom Prison The Fifth Fleet Footmen and Fifth Fleet Gunners now spawn correctly during the Grand Moff Kilran encounter. X-37 Oppressor's Power Punch now respects player immunities to knockback. Operations Terror from Beyond The Gargantuan Lobel mini-boss now spawns correctly. In the Terror from Beyond encounter, the Unstable Larva, Hypergate Beacons (in the first phase of Hard Mode), and Hypergate Irregularities now spawn correctly. Items The Dread Guard's Corrupted Mask now uses appropriate voice sound effects during cinematics. The Devastator's Double-Bladed Lightsaber now correctly displays two blades. Legacy Legacy of Combat abilities can no longer be used inside Warzones. Using Priority Transport: Capital World now properly advances mission steps that require players to travel to Coruscant or Dromund Kaas.

A rare issue that could cause a Premium or Preferred Player to function as a Free-to-Play Player temporarily has been addressed. Using /stuck now kills the player without penalty when used on a Personal Starship. So yeah, your specific bugs weren't fixed, but you can't say they aren't fixing bugs. Apparently, some are a bit harder to fix than others and may take more time. Or they simply don't have more availability of certain specialists because of other issues being solved by them first (ya know, Triage and all that jazz) But yeah.. list 2-3 bugs they haven't fixed that you feel are important and that is definite proof that Bioware isn't fixing bugs.

We're talking about "2-3 bugs" that WORKED a fine before they touched anything. I'D LIKE TO THINK, that ANYTHING that directly affects COMPLETE game play should be addressed IMMEDIATELY. How does fixing the clipping of a stupid mask take priority over FIXING THE GTM or the PREVIEW ITEMS for Companions? That's like having engine failure and then changing out the windshield wipers on your car! it's complete stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NasherUK Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Annoyingly lots of bugs like the inspect, preview windows, many flashpoint and operation bugs, crashes and cutscene bugs only appeared after some early patches. They were not broken at the end of beta or right after launch :/ They need to assign more developers to bug fixing. They are not going to sell as many copies of the expansion etc if existing stuff doesn't work properly. It doesn't look good when boss fights just mess up, or you always crash to desktop at the same point during certain cutscenes...
