hillerbees Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi folks, I'd love to see a top 3 of each - high point and low for 2015. It would be nice to think Bioware would take note going into the future. My own are: Highs 1) Costume designer - even if you only want to keep one look it saves ripping out mods etc 2) Cinematic style & story content - Great to look at and fun characterization of NPCs 3) Long clothing not clipping through speeders fix Lows 1) Game play made way too easy - its dull, dull, dull levelling with overpowered companions and no requirement to maintain decent gear as you move through the game. Too much has been done to simplify the game for newcomers. 2) GTN broken - items of all types not listing/searchable correctly 3) Crafting - an absolute balls made in 4.0 - crafters either have useless or unaffordable options open to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaking the social-difficulty curve (which has also broken group-finder) definitely goes under lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSodos Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Lows: Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team Dev team The developers are motivated, but EA holds BioWare back, so BioWare needs to hold their developers back. If I win in lottery or have a good idea that brings me some money, I buy the game and develop it with my old game studio. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanerb Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Lack of communication and not caring attitude. Both Eric and Tate with their lackluster style is the biggest low imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi folks, I'd love to see a top 3 of each - high point and low for 2015. Highs: • Costume Designer (by FAR the #1 thing of 2015!!!!) • 4.0's story - I feel it blows away every other story they've had • Removal of XP penalty when grouping Lows: • Lack of development • PvP balance • Lack of quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bioware Austin is doing EXACTLY what they want...they just don't understand their own product. EA doesn't care about this game...it's been terribly mismanaged - I'll be shocked if something doesn't happen, like development being "moved"... Austin is a VERY easy office for EA to close.

FerkWork Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Highs: All content is somewhat relevant to some degree Low: They didn't add any new repeatable content outside Solo KDY 2.0. Lack of progression. Many great players and guilds leaving the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to augment their relevance with that shadow realms bomb. As limited as 4.0 is, it shows that they still have talent and can produce value if they want to. IMO their direction, discipline, and level of caring are sorely lacking. No I don't need to work there to make that judgement. It's that obvious.
