Yowfatto Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) This game has blown all other MMOs in history out of the water with 1.5m subs at launch. This game is fantastic and will continue to grow. Yes it has some bugs, I triggered the Kira bug which has yet to be retro fixed on my JK but I'm now greatly enjoying my sith warrior. It needs more polish but so far for launch this game has massive amounts of content. For all the folks who have hit 50, wait for the rest of us to catch up and stop complaining there is nothing to do since you rushed to 50. We warned you not to do this, not to complain when you get there but yet you still do. You knew you'd be waiting, you do need people to do stuff at 50 right, you do realize this? This game has more end game content than any other MMO in history at launch, and still you 10%ers complain. Did you play WoW, and power lvl to cap at their launch with only one or two raids at the end for about 9 months with nothing else to do? And you guys complain about SWTOR? How in the heck did you guys last in WoW at launch when end game was so pitiful in that game for months on end? Get a grip and do something else, roll another character, get in on the market, or perhaps do something in real life? It will take me at least a year to play all the class story lines with work, don't know how you guys have so much time on your hands. Oh, if you don't know what a 10%er is, well they're folks that have more time on their hands, way too much time on their hands compared to the other 90% of humanity.

Aurinax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Only thing that matters is how many they have on January 21st after the free 30 days ends for pre-orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevalon Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Warhammer had a million subs at launch and ...well...much of SWTOR was created by Mythic... Will subs continue to grow or start to dwindle after the free month, that is the question... I fear that they will dwindle as people get higher. SWTOR's flaws become more and more evident the higher you get and the higher the "casuals" start to get the more you will see them jumping from "Defender of the Republic!" to "Death to the Empire"...

Warhammers launch was also terrible, and the game was unplayable for the majority of players. SWTOR launch has been smooth, and almost everyone can play without any gamebreaking bugs. Which is more than I can say for any other MMO that's been released in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Warhammer's launch was just as smooth as this launch was (actually, This launch was worse IMO with the terrible idea of EGA and the artificial caps on servers causing huge ques and then dead servers...not to mention the 30+ game in SWTOR is terribly buggy and broken ...Ive seen more bugs in SWTOR than Warhammer ever dared to have past 30...) So keep wishing there Tinkerbell.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scfs Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Still trying eh? Tis true though. Lots of AAA releases got heavy numbers at launch then dropped hard. Swtor really needs to be grownig to makeup for how many servers they launched, if they shrink then we gonna have some bad times way to fast.

Grrl Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Only thing that matters is how many they have on January 21st after the free 30 days ends for pre-orders. I disagree. I thought about it and since we got so many people with the game it would be relatively easy to re-gain people. Once things change for the better people will realize and sub back. If there isn't a new game launch with a really unique system from the very beginning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Only thing that matters is how many they have on January 21st after the free 30 days ends for pre-orders. Only post in this thread that's worth reading, and that's including the OP's one I'm a HUGE Bioware/Kotor fan, and I've cancelled my subscription today. Not down to any of the bugs/issue that people have complained about on the forums; most of which are nonsense and/or people so use to WoW that everything must resemble it, but mainly due to the game just lacking overall in quality gameplay and story. It's not bad, it's just boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keep wishing there Tinkerbell.... Someone didn't play Warhammer at launch The game was RIDDLED with bugs. And they created far too many servers at launch, which resulted in every place being extremely empty a few weeks later. Warhammer's launch was ANYTHING but smooth. Game crashes, insane server lag, graphic bugs / TERRIBLE engine optimization, etc etc. SWTOR doesn't have anywhere near as many bugs. I dare you to list all the GAME BREAKING issues that SWTOR has, and I will gladly list the game breaking bugs that warhammer had at launch. Go on. Btw, SWTOR servers aren't dead at all. During peak hours, almost every server is heavy / full. And every zone has TONS of players. Every time I'm questing, I see a ton of players everywhere.. general chat is usually packed, and finding a group is extremely easy. Are you SURE you're playing the SWTOR that the rest of us are?

DirtyDiggler Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm going to stick around for the long haul on this game, but mainly because I'm a fan of the series and a fan of star wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurinax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 You keep mentioning all these bugs, care to list even one of them or keep spamming the same thing with nothing to add? 1. Ability delay 2. Nodes appearing on map though they don't exist. ( they even tried to say they fixed it, lol) 3. Almost every flashpoint after Hammer Station 4. Load screen durations 5. Glaring issues with certain video cards. 6. Pet AI, and pet autocast options not sticking. 7. Other UI options not sticking (Sith corruption, etc) Do you need more? I can post more. BTW don't try and say it's user-specific or anything, plenty of people have reported these issues and almost no issue in any situation affects EVERYONE.

DirtyDiggler Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I also think this is the best questing MMO ever made period, the quests are on par with a single player game, that is profound and worth the money in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do that. WAR didn't have 1.5 million in the first week of launch, from someone who played WAR for 2 months. They only reached one million boxed copies sold near the end of the first month. Also, whaaa? SWTOR was created by Bioware, not Mythic. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
