Rileysoph Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What's Biowares reasoning behind copy and pasting the same event every month? Is it their attempt at making the game more "dynamic"? Has there been any new changes between the first event and the most recent one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienEyeTX Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The reason is to give people a change of pace from the typical dailies. Also, it gives people time to build reputation, purchase rewards, and complete achievements from the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rileysoph Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's a rep faction and I love that it is a monthly thing. So their reasoning is because it's a rep faction and because you like that it's monthly? That makes no sense to me. I don't remember asking for peoples opinion about it I just want to know why they're adding it every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it on the second time it came up, and I didn't even play that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the event comes up, it doesn't even interfere with anything else. No reason not to keep it around. I don't participate (not since the first time), but I don't even notice when it is active.

It's there every month because it is extremely popular and not everyone was playing in the first month, or maxed out by the second. I imagine they'll do something for the gree shortly.

Don't like it, don't play it. Simple. Find a game you enjoy there are plenty of other MMOs out there you can play. Just saying. Clearly this game isn't for you.

Arkerus Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 There is nothing wrong with a monthly reoccuring event. It adds a nice change of pace and something consistent to look forward to (that you can't complete all at once). Talk about ridiculous things to complain about OP...

Is it their attempt at making the game more "dynamic"? Has there been any new changes between the first event and the most recent one? Outside of tweaks to the event itself over time, they've added some new rewards. Also it's not copy-pasted just because it's recurring. Do you complain that Section X is copy-pasted every single day and doesn't change? Or that Christmas is copy-pasted every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesaberisa Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Repeatable content is an easy way for an MMO to keep people busy between new content. It got old for me, so I mostly just use it for the xp/rewards on alts I'm leveling and occasionally for achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 So Bioware thought people would take months to get max reputation? I got it on the second time it came up, and I didn't even play that much. You obviously do play a lot. Which is why you maxed it out the second time. I only have Hero status with the BBA. I go about doing the bounties casually, not obsessively. You have to realize that the vast majority of players are not content locusts. Contents locusts can never be satisfied. It's pointless for any game company to even try to satisfy them. Their wants are quite properly ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you're right, this game is designed for the casual player, the devs are ignoring thje content locusts because they can't keep up and so focus on the casuals, which is why it's the most successful Star Wars MMO out there today.

Having it one time, allows those who would otherwise do something else, to balance the load so it isn't having the entire server doing nothing but that for the week, and then complaining there is no new content.

OddballEasyEight Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Actually the reasoning would be that people keep whining for all the events to come back more often... Usually within a week of the event ending... So they made a monthly one... and now people complain about the event coming back "too often"...

Callaron Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think it's supposed to be the first of many events that will cycle on a monthly basis - along with a few less frequent events like the Gree event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarfux Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It's a new thing to do in the game. It is different from other things. And it's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTHC Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Some of us aren't done with it yet. Some haven't even started yet. It's nice that these events keep coming back around so we'll get the chance to do them when we're ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMaulUK Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Its something 'different' or was. I think its just a lazy attempt to give players a reason to login. In Star Wars Galaxies - a live event was just that - LIVE. The devs logged in with main characters like Vader/Luke and lead us into battle with hundreds of Stormtrooper NPCs - or there was the Sand People raid on Bestine - now thats a real event. Anyone who thinks this 'Bounty Hunter' event is good, needs to google what a Bounty Hunter is and supposed to do. They do not visit some random terminal in the middle of no where after offering 4 drinks to some randoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then go play an SWG emu if it was so great. I tried participating in a live event in DDO once. It was 00ber lame. So no thanks.
