Smashnbash Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) No this is not a sarcastic 'you f'ed mah gamez, thanks bioware' This is as an actual thank you for making this game and continuing to keep it going. The game is great, not only the fact it is Star Wars (who doesn't love a good star wars!) but the thing that led me away from it from WoW, is the fact is it is challenging and takes a lot more effort than i'd say most of the MMO's I have played. By that I mean, in the leveling 1-55 I have died HEAPS! Mostly from a dude patrolling the area that I didn't notice, or pulling the mob a few meters away. Normally I would say 'ah f****, that's just stupid, QUIT!' But comparing it to something like WoW....Even with limited gear that is upgraded....I would never die. I could literally sit there and **** before even needing to think about it, it wasn't challenging and neither was Op's (or raiding). My biggest problem there was 'NERF NERF NERF' due to people saying 'it's tooooooo haaaarrrddddd' or because they want people to get people geared to see content etc etc. Which is fine, but what Bioware have just done which I really like, is not nerf the Op's into the ground, but make the gear easier to get. Because anyone can have the gear, but if the content is still challenging, all the gear in the world won't save you. A perfect example are those explosion droids in DF after the second boss. BRILLIANT, it can bring those fun 'aha i'm gonna kill some guildies moment's' and it can just point out those who need to pay attention more. There should be more mobs/boss's that are like this, I mean there are already, but yeah. About this whole 2.8 hell that people are crying about. Yeah I was annoyed being kicked off, waiting in FP's for players to load etc. That was yesterday, today, there are still problems, but it's nowhere NEAR as bad as yesterday....One day, one bad day, I think I will survive one day to many great. Plus I love the new content, yeah gambling is never fun and is really bad to do, but it's in a game, I am using fake credits which I can easily get again to get a RANCOR! (which I still haven't gotten yet *sadface*). I love the class changes too, as I am a sent, *drool at dps increase* So all and all, thank you Bioware, please keep this game going, it's got sooooo much potential to keep going for years. Keep doing what you are doing, I wouldn't mind a little more content faster.......but I only have one 55, so I have MANY alt's to go through to keep me entertained Edited June 12, 2014 by Smashnbash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutopertierra Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Indeed, thanks Bioware! Despite 2.8 is a tiny patch, it is something, it is. I can't stand WoW lasting without a patch for a f... year! Now, BW do not make this tiny patch the rule, just keep pacing regular patches with some decent content now and then, 6weeks would be best, 8weeks okey, but no more! And now, about this 'Casino Event' it is not the best idea of the world but 'filling', lets develop it a bit further, polish it with a few extra things and you may even make a Great Game Addition out of a preemptive backup. Some ideas: - Eventually include Pazzak pvp as part of it - Add some direct rewards from the current machines to promote further 'grinding' - Add some 55 dailies around it to get chips Bioware dev team, your creativity not only is making this game business afloat, but also bringing brand new perspectives to MMOs. Come on, lets keep going, I am sure such extraordinary potential is gonna redeem huge benefits for all, cheers PD. Add mount racing! You know it is the next mmo wall to break in the face of WoW.

Creative? bringing brand new perspectives? I'm not sure I would call coercing your f2p'ers and psp'ers to sub and reskinning virtually all your cosmetics creative or bringing brand new perspective.

When you insult other forum members in your praise post the post itself smacks of propaganda. I question the OPs intent...was it genuine praise, or just a counter to criticism and therefore not worth of attention or consideration IMO? Naturally the reverse it true...posting negative posts to counter praise is just as low IMO. It presents a suspicion of disingenuous intentions IMO.

I wasn't 'insulting' other forum members, it's a known fact that everyone is not happy about the 2.8 changes and have been lashing out.....So I guess my intent wasn't clear enough when I was giving praise to the game. (?) The 'insulting' I guess you are referring to is a 'ignore those who complain about every little thing, there are people like me who actually appreciate the game' The reason I actually made the thread was to say, as the title says, thank you. I am not going to make a freaking ticket or whatever and annoy the GM's just to say that. So other than giving them the money, I thought I'd try this approach. I am not sure if they will/ever read it, but it also is something I am curious about to see if other people agree/disagree. I'd say if I actually wanted to attack those who were criticizing the game, I would probably more focus it on them than the game, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordArtemis Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Oh hello doctor, come to dissect my brain? Not really. Making a point is all. I wasn't 'insulting' other forum members No this is not a sarcastic 'you f'ed mah gamez bout this whole 2.8 hell that people are crying about. In my opinion that is exactly what that is. It's a known fact that everyone is not happy about the 2.8 changes and have been lashing out.....So I guess my intent wasn't clear enough when I was giving praise to the game. (?) The 'insulting' I guess you are referring to is a 'ignore those who complain about every little thing, there are people like me who actually appreciate the game' Yes, that would be a good example. Saying there are people like you that enjoy the game is great, certainly accurate. Saying something like "ignore X community member because" smacks of propaganda IMO. People that dislike the game do the same thing in an attempt to reduce praise. The reason I actually made the thread was to say, as the title says, thank you. I am not going to make a freaking ticket or whatever and annoy the GM's just to say that. So other than giving them the money, I thought I'd try this approach. I am not sure if they will/ever read it, but it also is something I am curious about to see if other people agree/disagree. I'd say if I actually wanted to attack those who were criticizing the game, I would probably more focus it on them than the game, no? Perhaps. If you remove the insults to other community members it is a great post. When I see true praise posts or constructive criticism posts I always try to compliment them....I feel you can present your point without an agenda. The point being, if this was intended as pure praise and not a "counter to negativity" I feel you would have left out the judgmental comments about other community members. You are, of course, entitled to do anything you like and post in any way you see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
