BioWare Heed My Advice Before It's Too Late

[Ralin]

There are two kinds of people on the forums:

• Those who don't have anything better to do than troll the forum and give advice to BioWare with their over-inflated ego.
  
• Those who are browsing the hate threads waiting for a good laugh.
  

 

The other 95% are enjoying the game online.

So in the words of a great philosopher:

 

"I pity the fool!"

[MaceTowani]

Yes I expect "Company A" to learn from the mistakes "Company B" made 5 Years ago and NOT make the same mistake just to see that it is a mistake and go "oops we fix that in 2 years, stick it out".

 

Yes I also think that that's not an unreasonable expectation.

 

Read my post again.

 

7 years of IMPROVING AND REPAIRING vs a game with years of MAKING.

 

You can't REPAIR a game that ISN'T MADE YET.

 

Get it?

[DarthAgonny]

hear hear:rolleyes:

I think they are learning from Company A's mistakes, but letting the game take it's own path before implementing other features. You can't look at everything that's in Company A's game and say "Oh we must have X feature in our game because Company A's game is so successful that we should just bring over everything they have and call it our own."

 

If you'd rather not wait the time for other stuff to be implemented then there are other games to occupy your time with, but I'm sure TOR will still be here waiting for you.

[WarVandal]

he sounds like one of these....

[IlexGlabra]

I see what you did there.

 

10/10 for effort.

Seriously, yeah. The guy spent a lot of time on that post.

[GraunKrynn]

EL OH EL thanks for that.

I hope they don't look too closely on what "Company A" is doing right now or even for the last two expansion. I used to be a fervent fan of "Company's A game" until halfway in expansion 2. Some of the simplifying "Company A" wasn't good at all.

To The OP.

 

Dude! Get over it!

 

Entitlement much?

 

Really the only reason I read your post was to get a good laugh...

[FallynAngyl]

I gotta say, several hours later and still my favorite thread on all the forums, seeing the continued comments and misunderstandings, I can go to bed laughing, huge thank you to the OP for injecting some humor and sarcasm (for those that get it, and the ones like me that get it eventually:P)

[Moofster]

Hilaaarious. People just don't know how to relax and enjoy a game these days... toast to you, OP, for the amusement. Great thread. XD

 

Hard to enjoy a game that had so much potential but fails in so many gamebreaking aspects.

 

Quite a few MMO's with better designs than SWTOR did not make it, I worry for SWTORs future.

I think that's the general consensus of their former player base.

[Reborne]

LMAO this thread is becoming epic. Not because of the original post, it gave me a chuckle and i appreciated it, but because of the complete total ******* who are trolling the OP as if he was serious because they are either too lazy to read (i.e. Retarded) or too stupid to comprehend sarcasm (i.e. Retarded)

That was the point. Glad you laughed.

[AlpsStranger]

This game is awful. The millions of people playing this game and enjoying themselves are fools. You should listen to me and my opinion on the game that you worked so hard to create because I'm a professional MMO expert and can also predict the future of the gaming industry. SWTOR will go F2P in 2 months once everyone is tired of the voice acting. Most people are hitting spacebar already anyway, opening their easy mode map and hopping from marker to marker playing collect the gear.

 

Seriously you guys couldn't make some new quests? It's all just start from point X go kill or click on N of Ys and then either return to point X or continue on to point Z. Also all of this instancing is terrible because I want to compete with 200 other people for the same quest objective that's on a 30 minute respawn timer.

 

Also, what's with the lack of a LFD tool? I mean seriously. I should be able to click one button and be transported to the dungeon of my choosing with random other strangers. I find it tedious to actually have to talk to people and go to the area that links all of the dungeons together. So dumb.

 

Another thing, your UI. I mean look at it. It's just there. I can't do anything with it at all. It just sits there taking up space. I can't drag things around like I want. Nevermind that I had to download, install and update (with every patch) at least 5 add-ons in other games to get the UI the way I wanted and it took years of trial and error to finally get this right. I want you guys to give me full control right away because it's 2011 and just because other games have had 7+ years worth of development on you, you should be past them already in every single area.

 

I don't care if you've done your market research. I don't care if you've had the biggest and arguably smoothest/successful MMO launch to date. I speak for all the players out there because instead of playing the game that I paid for, I'd rather #occupy these forums and spew forth this hatred I have for you.

 

Server maintenance? You're joking me right? This game should be online and active 24/7 because I'm a paying customer and I pay the right to play when I want. By taking servers offline during what you call 'non-peak' hours are peak gaming hours for me. Who needs to do things like sleep, work, go outside and productive when I could waste away in front of my computer playing a game that I despise because it's just a clone of WoW which is just a clone of EQ which is just a DIKU MUD clone.

 

Oh and you have the nerve to toss out a nerf with the first weekly patch? My word. I've never seen something so idiotic in my entire life. Who cares if slicing was allowing players to have hundreds of thousands if not millions of credits in a much quicker fashion than those without the profession that could've potentially lead to a virtual economic crisis? It was profitable to me and I'm the only one that counts. Have you not figured this out yet?

 

I haven't even mentioned how bad this game looks. I don't care if you're trying to cater to a broad audience with literally infinite variations in hardware/software configurations. You should be catering to me and my wants. I want my eyeballs to explode in graphical awe of your art conquests. Not this filth that you've presented me with. I don't care how many stunning videos of this game I see in 1080p this game looks like crap because I say it does. My uber system can handle more. GIVE ME MOAR.

 

Space combat is another thing. If you're going to give me Star Fox, at least give me all of the controls. I keep waiting for Falco to come out of left field and take out that Destroyer for me, but noooooooooooooooo I have to fire the missles at it myself and then take my free credits, commendations, and xp for playing such an awful mini-game that is designed to give me a break from the grind of questing for my daily profits.

 

I think this enough for now BW. You have been warned. This game will implode soon if you don't just scrap the whole project and start over because this game is a steaming pile of dung because I say it is and I'm a professional MMO expert and I speak for everyone here.

 

Be sarcastic all you want. Much of the criticism is perfectly valid.

This thread is destined for iron man numbers.

This has been such a good laugh.

 

Thanks OP.

I think this game has amazing potential but I'm curious as to what the game breaking aspects you're referring to.

[DarthWalt]

I guess this is a joke right? I missed it cause it just didnt have the sarcasium most joke posts do. Maybe its the wall of txt I refuse to waste time in my life reading. Or the fact that it starts out as every other post cring about pointless stuff.

 

 

If it was ment as a joke it was too much and was missed. If your for real just go back to WoW cause they seems to do everything right accourding to all the cring clownshoes here.

You sat there and wrote all that and its all sarcasm. Why waste your time? Surely you would be on the game playing it if it was that good? The game is a complete fail.

[stuw]

I guess this is a joke right? I missed it cause it just didnt have the sarcasium most joke posts do. Maybe its the wall of txt I refuse to waste time in my life reading. Or the fact that it starts out as every other post cring about pointless stuff.

 

 

If it was ment as a joke it was too much and was missed. If your for real just go back to WoW cause they seems to do everything right accourding to all the cring clownshoes here.

 

friend, you're posting on a forum for a massively multiplayer online role playing game... you've already wasted your time which may or may not have been spent on more productive activities. your reason for not reading has been rendered invalid.

Thanks for the input guys. I did at least format my wall of text into more manageable chunks of text.

 

The fact that it starts off crying about things and not giving actual feedback is the point. Seeing fanboys (of which I proclaim to be) come blindly to this game's defense without understanding the nature of the post is funny.

 

I think this game has serious potential and isn't perfect, but it's not as bad as posts that this one is modeled after make it out to be.

[GraunKrynn]

You sat there and wrote all that and its all sarcasm. Why waste your time? Surely you would be on the game playing it if it was that good? The game is a complete fail.

 

I was actually playing while I wrote this. Doing my daily space missions. I have multiple monitors. Thanks for the input, bro.

[Seksi]

You seriously wasted all of this time with a troll post?
