Foambreaker Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 I am not incorrect. Of course personal experiences can vary but I've looked at various games to see and every MMO I've looked at I find reports about delayed patches and patches breaking stuff, whether it's WoW, ESO, Aion, GW2, TSW and more... Guess what, this is true of most software, the good news is these are just games Remember that Mars probe, streamered in, software glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodrac Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I need that coffee spitting emote on these boards. That is one thing ESO has better - their forums allow for inserting gifs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fungihoujo Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 How about no. KOTOR and KOTOR 2 are two of the best SW games to come out, while Battlefront may have been a bit weak, 2 is looking considerably better. SWTOR might not be the top end mmo it could have been- but it had a solid run with a lot of enjoyment to be had. Furthermore, Bioware has done a great job (for the most part) with SW stories- even if you want to high light some of their stranger tales, they don't compare to the almost Star Trek level of absurdity others have taken the franchise to. Bioware came up with Revan, who might be a bit overplayed now but it still likely the most iconic and known character in SW outside of the movies. While some of their endgame decisions don't sit well with me, and I still find pvp poorly balanced and CC to be a mess- they've done better things with the SW license than most. It feels like SWTOR is just understaffed now so we aren't seeing much growth or even fixing of problems. When it comes to alternative star wars outside the movie time frame, especially regarding the old republic era, BW has done a mostly great job- I can't think of a company that'd do a better job with stories and RPGs.

So you think Revan was a good thing? Oook *backs away slowly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillerbees Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I am glad EA and Bioware made this game I have played for the last 6 years - its been a lot of fun and I will continue to play. If you don't like what they are doing go and play one of the other Star Wars titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenitsubasaChiyo Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 So you think Revan was a good thing? Absolutely. His story should've ended once and for all in the Foundry FP, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourOrange Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) I guess they need some writers who, I don't know, have actually heard of Star Wars? No kidding. The Star Wars universe is incredibly rich with story opportunity- there was no need to create an entirely new mythos that, without the title Star Wars attached to it, could have been its own game.

Decidion Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Just frustration probably...he obviously likes the game but hates what Bioware has been doing to it lately...he's not alone and I think his frustration is very justifiable. Absolutely. They have made idiotic choice after idiotic choice that has sent the player base feeling to other galaxies "far far away", never to return. I've lost track of how many friends I've seen cancel their sub due to the choices BioWare has made the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsillah Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Guess what, this is true of most software, the good news is these are just games Remember that Mars probe, streamered in, software glitch. Definitely. I see it in the quarterly updates of the main software at the company I work for. Pretty much every patch creates issues that need to be fixed afterwards. In fact it's part of the resource planning now. It's assumed some things will get broken so they already have resources prepared to deal with it when it happens. It can take a week before it's fixed. So overall I'm not so impressed by the things that go wrong in SWTOR. It could be better, but it could also be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
