Lordmird Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 With all the outcry and negativity about Galactic Command on the forums, Bioware is taking a look at rethinking this whole system. jk. our feedback doesn't mean anything. lel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrrant Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Because, as everyone knows, it's just so easy to make changes with a high-budget game 24 hours after initial announcement of details! Look, I get why you're being cynical, but look at it like this: A game like SWTOR is like an ocean liner: It's big and it can be a great ride, buuuuut it takes a bit of time for it to turn. I imagine they weren't expecting this sort of response. But there's a lot of stuff they need to discuss internally in order to figure out how to move forward, ESPECIALLY what they CAN do without delaying the expansion. Just have a BIT of patience here. If they didn't care about our feedback, they wouldn't have shown stuff off early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cunard ocean liner Queen Mary 2 has propulsion pod systems that allows it to literally turn on a dime in a matter of minutes. Disregarding your analogy though, lets face it, they're not going to change a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiamaraSimi Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The problem is, BW has a history of not fixing broken things. This tends to make people not have a high opinion of "NewThings", for fear said "New Things" will be broken in some way, and remain broken for -years- like multiple things have done.

TUXs Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 What budget? How much could it possibly cost per year to pay their whole staff in comparison to what the game makes? Ahh...that's the problem. All the $ this game makes goes back to EA. EA then gives Bioware a yearly budget. If the $ coming in is less than last year, that budget is cut. EA isn't here to be our buddies...they want to make every cent off of us they can for as little as they can, and Bioware Austin is a throw away studio that won't be open once this game closes.

TX_Angel Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think everyone still thinks Titanic when they think ocean liner. Not everyone, but many uninformed people Titanic had many design flaws, including a rudder that was too small for the ship and a Captain that was going too fast for conditions. Instead of turning, he should have accepted the hit and rammed the iceburg head on, it was unavoidable at his speed. The other flaw is that he ordered full reverse, which made the rudder even LESS effective, since it stops the center propeller and reverses the two outside ones, removing water flow over the rudder. So many mistakes were made that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrrant Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think everyone still thinks Titanic when they think ocean liner. I was actually thinking of the Titanic when I wrote that . Changes have to be made. The system, as it was described is flawed on fundamental levels. My point was mostly that there's a limit to how fast changes can be made. Maybe there's enough time to make the needed changes. But just don't expect the changes to come overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JabbaWabbA Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 this will go live. Afterwards, they will go on vacation for an extended period of time and tweak things when they get back.

Damask_Rose Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 With a Korean studio we will at least get finally some swimsuit gear. We already have several outfits that can pass for swimwear. I think they'd be more likely to add in furry costumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
