Flouride

Waa waa yourself. It completely ***** up the balance when they are getting the best gear available with pretty much no effort at all. BioWare was warned about this by a lot of players but they did not listen, the player base could actually see this happening from a mile away. And how something like that goes through a beta testing is pretty ridicilous. Balance issues are understandable, exploits caused by bugs I can understand, but when the sheer stupidity of the designers results in issues like this it's not okay. It literally drives away people from the game. Others have worked for weeks on that same gear, then BioWare comes up with a brilliant plan and the other side gets their gear in mere hours. And it doesn't just help them with PvP, that same gear is good for PvE as well. From what I heard BioWare didn't even punish properly the people who were exploiting the commendation bug. I guess they are scared of losing any more customers with "harsh" penalties. On some servers the republic side is already pretty much of a ghost town as it is, issues like this won't help one bit. The fact they are even catering more towards the dominate side with their inner faction PvP makes it even worse. People were actually joining Republic side for shorter PvP queues making the balance on servers a bit better, don't think they will after this. It's so much fun to spam on general/pvp to find a healer to be able to do a single heroic/flashpoint. And believe, it takes long time even on my server which isn't even one of the worst. Can't even imagine how bad it is on some of the other servers.

Sorta, they made the turrets unkillable at least. But they didn't take away valor from those who took advantage of the situation. So the damage is already done.

You can say that again. I'm starting to be pretty fed up with the go there and get it/kill it quests with BONUS: Kill 30 tentacleheads BONUS: Destroy 6 stuff boxes BONUS: Kill the badass tentaclehead and steal his lollipop. Seems to me they ran out of imagination badly at some point. You forgot the plant 3/5 devices of something on something quests. Balmorra had like 6 of those in one map alone.

There used to be dailies/weeklies that didn't involve killing the opposite faction. Now they changed it that you can't finish them without killing the opposite faction. So with all the balancing issues (5:1) etc. on servers it becomes really hard for some to finish those quests, while other can just faceroll through it. Now it looks like this: Sith are gaining valor like mad (since you can farm those turrets and poor opposite faction guys who ended up in there in the 1st place) breaking the PVP even more when they gain best PVP gear available with no effort. Something that used to take long, not to mention how it hurts PVE as well when that PVP gear is so much easier to get than PVE gear of the same caliber. I wonder if some poor Republic players are still stuck on Ilum....

Already had bunch of my guildies quit yesterday. PvP is a mess (for example one sith attacks us and the next update I might see is our party being dead because of the massive lag/fps drop), the factions are really out of balance (something like 5:1 Sith vs. Rep on our server), the changes on Ilum are ******** retarded, Guardian is a broken class and writing is either good or really bad. Not to mention they are recycling voice over like mad. I'm paying for the next month and then calling it quits, might lvl up another character later on though.

Getting funding from the rich Greeks?

Hmh, what Planescape document?

And according to Linkedin he previously worked as a Creative Director at THQ. So I'd say credible

SW:TOR and Orcs Must Die! TOR has some really bad writing (at least when it comes to playing Jedi Knights). My head is starting to hurt from all the facepalming. The Force was with us. Also the recycled lines/gibberish aliens gurgle out is really getting to me. It really takes away from the game when I recognize certain sentences from the last planet I visited, only the subtitles change. And yes, there's way too many aliens speaking in random gibberish.

BioWare and EA showing how it's done. No matter if you have 27 days of free play time left you need to enter subscription info to play the game. Grace period has ended and millions of players are trying to enter subscription info -> servers overload. Who could have guessed this would happen... Oh yeah, pretty much everyone with the IQ over 50.

Got totally addicted to Old Republic, even though the Jedi Knight lines on sidequests are making me cringe.

How dare you. I was supposed to post this!

New GameInformer video. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/arc...k-the-game.aspx So apparently the team size will be 50-55, still missing few staff members (as can be seen from the Jobs section). And that would leave about 60-70 people for North Carolina (and possibly Virginia).

Ye, I seriously doubt some of those factions will make it to the game. I didn't even remember who Jakovasaurs were.

I doubt Onyx engine supports PS Vita. Not sure if it even (could) supports iPAD.

Nice, they actually listened. Now I don't have to scroll aaaaaaaaall the way down everytime I want to check SP forums. It was literally killing me!

I think they are working on one microproject (Virginia). But it's not a priority, so it's most likely something they work on when possible like between projects etc. Assigning multiple people to work on it fulltime isn't really an option with two bigger games in development. And the amount of money the company "burns" each week means they need those bigger projects to be on schedule. The good thing is that now they have their engine "ready", they just need to tweak it to fit the design they are going with. I just hope they are able to work and release some of their own projects in digital form, since I'd rather give my money to Obsidian directly than to any publisher like Bethesda. Please create a spiritual successor to King of Dragon Pass....

Aye, it's definately a reference to that episode.

I understood it was for every Jew/Paladin in the game.

People have no sense of humour when it's aimed at them. Sad thing is, these same people are willing to blast everyone else with their "humour".

Well that's a shame and embarrasing for them. Gotta check if the purchases I tried were actually charged from my credit card. I guess I won't playing Dungeon Keeper or Temple of Elemental Evil tonite...

Aye, that jew class was given after they told Cartman was running the LARP. The more I hear about this game the more intrested I get. Would love to see some actual video of the game soon

New video up on Game Informer about the combat in the game! http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/arc...k-the-game.aspx Go check it out!
