SW:TOR Devs FAIL Again!!!

SWOTR,awesome single player game, wrapped in a lack luster massive multiplayer shell. Its almost like the old Atari days of STO, they have no real clue how to run an mmo.

I dont see what the problem is, they found an almost game ruining bug, i know how some people are about achievements. They had a choice delay the content release so that character transfer stays with 2.2 or just delay the character transfer.
What they did seems entirely reasonable to me.

SW:TOR is not a failure nor a disaster. It isn't perfect. No game or software ever is, but I feel that TOR is one of the most stable and well-developed PC games out there.

Consider the amount of Story content and fully-voiced and animated mission architecture that drives it, not to mention that you can team up with anyone to play any mission for social points, etc. It's designed for social gameplay, is it not?

To have all that at launch with minimal bugs with a vast item table, among other MMO elements), to me was very impressive for first-time launch. That sure as hell was NOT the case when STO launched.

Let's keep things in perspective, here. So the character transfer service blew up on the launch of a patch. Big deal. Just let them fix it and they will deliver, just like the did with re-customization. As for the same-sex romance, I think that is something beyond BioWare's immediate power to influence now that LucasArts is toast and Disney has their hand in the pot. Politics, bro. It sucks, but it is what it is. I don't blame development for it, their hands are tied.

Nonetheless it's still a great game. I appreciate it for what it delivers, and the potential it shows.

I agree Ras, while it is disappointing it's only a minor delay. Ultimately it's EA's awful attitude toward its customers that has made TOR less than what it should be but despite it all its a game that many people still enjoy playing. When it comes to what does and doesn't get released it probably has more to do with the corporate "bottom-line" end of things than it does with the Devs who toil thanklessly and bear the brunt of the player base's wrath.

I love how passionate Steve gets, marry me already. jeez. lol

Disney, while conservative, is one of the most LGBT friendly companies around. This whole mess with the SGRA is fully on the shoulders of EA. As for the game? Lots of plusses for the product, but the team really has not done a good job of public relations or customer service.

It being single player friendly is EXACTLY why it is one of my favorites. I work three jobs, and as such it is impossible for me to team up with people at times. STO, CoH/CoV, and SWTOR were the first games I could get to max level, alone and by myself, without having to sit there, alone, spamming general hoping someone was available to help me through some part of the game.
