Eanelinea Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 To be honest, it's not a real big deal to me. The Rakghoul Event will come again, just one more month. I had to wait a month before I got Lokin on my agent when I got her through it October 20th and the event came November 15th. As for issues...the event isn't game breaking itself. And even not getting Lokin right away isn't game breaking. Long as people can get Lokin BEFORE February 9th or 11th, then that's fine. I get that games have tons and tons of code and one wee change and everything falls apart. I'm annoyed with the bugs, glitches, and other things, but I haven't let it deter me just yet. Plus, it's the holidays and last year majority of Bioware employees were gone from about first week of December til about second week of January, so I doubt any bugs will be fixed fully until about second week of January. I don't like it, but I'm not going to complain about it just yet. So far, I can keep playing and doing what I currently am...so we can only wait and see. Hopefully, Bioware gets on the ball and does fix all the issues soon because I enjoy the game very much and don't want it nose diving due to issues on their end and unhappy gamers on our end.

Eanelinea Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Shouldn't this be sticky somewhere instead of buried in a 20+ pages thread? It is. It's on the Dev Tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFDebris Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I don't want to join any calls for "I hope someone is fired" that have cropped up lately. But the way that any good will earned from KotFE has been burned through reminds me of M:TG and Urza's Saga block that was such a major catastrophe the president of the company called the entire R&D team into his office and proceeded to tear them a new one for destroying player confidence so utterly. At this point it's time for a call into the office and delivering the Malcolm Tucker "omnishambles" speech: "You're like that coffee machine, from bean to cup, you f**k up!"

Oldsailor Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Since it is broken and won't be fixed any time soon, how about trying to remove it. I still see folks going into the Spike, and can only assume a whole lot of folks this weekend will try and access it with the "cookie crumb" starter mission clickable. Easier to answer folks that wonder what happened to event, instead of dealing with folks that travel to the planet and get kicked back to fleet. (Would think devs want to keep more people from feeling upset.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Severius Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The quality of the support staff at bioware has been on a tragic trajectory. While I don't want someone's head on a platter I do think it is about high time the folks at BioWare actually take a moment and try to hire someone who is actually competent to head the Customer Service department. Hell FoxConn's child slaves are more responsive and informative than these fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyaniteD Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It is. It's on the Dev Tracker. Nope, not sticky there, either.

Stickied or not, this is what see when I go into the dev tracker: Rakghoul event broken | 12.17.2015, 04:19 PM Hey folks, After further investigation, we unfortunately will be unable to address the issues with the Rakghoul Plague before the event expires on Tuesday. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. For those who were looking to run the Rakghoul event, it is scheduled to return on January 12th. Thanks everyone. -eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterSpatula Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I have to confess, this is genuinely shocking. It makes BW look really, really bad, and I'm surprised they're not doing more to put out the PR fire it lit.

JourrnoRush Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I read somewhere that BW/EA are intentionally sabotaging this game (tinfoil hat WARNING) New movie means new mmo will most likely be made in the future. But they can't just pull the plug on this one, so why not just sabotage it so they can make something that is new star wars. Think about it. New story that is releasing bits and pieces throughout the year. Sub reward? Play as a droid which looking at BW's writing will most likely be 30 min to an hour. Bugs, broken event, exploits. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the game, but I don't think its worth a sub. I think BW/EA realize this and are sabotaging it so EA can make a new MMO.

Keta Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Eric, if the event isn't going to be fixed I'd suggest removing it from the community news on the website.

Your company's inability to keep this game running smoothly is a joke. It's just one bug after another, one big **** snowball effect that keeps gathering momentum.

Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." I do think it is likely that EA is cutting down on their financial support for this game, but probably not to sabotage it, just to maximize the profits by minimizing the costs, while also freeing up resources. I think BW is doing the best they can with the reduced support, but the resources just aren't there to quickly and effectively respond to things like these bugs.

And I have a sneaking suspicion that very little of the budget they have left is going to play-testing, which should be one of the single most important steps in any development cycle.

If you're going to conjure such fictitious and unverifiable drivel on the internet (because if anything you said was true, SWG's final 18 months wouldn't have been as great as they were), please try to at least connect it with a source. You're not clever hiding behind an ambiguous adverb; you're just another internet troll or liar wearing a self-fashioned tinfoil hat looking for attention. The attention needs put on the DEVs for not coming up with an alternative solution for obtaining Eckard Lokin, which is currently gated by said broken event. So we have to wait another month for a fix? What if some of us are otherwise indisposed from SWTOR then? School starts back up, some deployments are starting, and I guarantee you factory workers aren't going to be enjoying any reprieve for SWTOR time like they are now. Fix the problems NOW, BW, before the holiday week starts. If you can't, then I guess you'll just have to suck up a one time grant of giving your paying customers Lokin off the Odessen terminal. /rant off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebulon-Prime Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 What's the matter people didn't you read the patch notes and the fine print in the terms of service legal agreement you signed? Because BioWare and most companies don't really care. Stop being their best buddies after a good screwing and start acting like a customer, the game will be better off for it.
