Just because you are unique does not mean you are special

When did AA work in beta?  I was only in from mid- August, but my whole time you had to force it with your driver software.

Worst catastrophe ever?   LOL hyperbole much?  OP was probably a SWG vet, so I think he knows the answer to that.  The hate for this game is just mind boggling.  I can't wait for the 20th so people like him aren't on the forums, or can me mocked if they still are.

Don't you have something better to do with your time? Like perhaps playing some game that you DO actually enjoy? These constant attempts at denigrating the game really make you look pathetic.

I love the way you mix insults and contempt without even daring to refute the actual issue at hand

 

is it really SO bad that biodrones ran out of excuses and lack arguments to defend it past the obvious insults?

Jesus, I think I underestimated it then

 

Well, you have to admit, it does sound a bit like drama diva mode, 'greatest catastrophe ever', don't you think? -_-

I mean, I can easily think of 10 catastrophes within the MMO gaming world that were bigger, and outside the MMO gaming world, I could think of hundreds of real catastrophes that were a lot more meaningful than an MMO patch >.>


As for the issues mentioned in the OP, I can't say, I haven't been ingame yet. If over 90% are having all of issues mentioned like performance stuff and glitches etc, then it's very annoying, if it's only a small fragment of the player population is suffering those issues then it's less big of a deal. In both cases however I wouldn't think of 'catastrophe' and certainly not 'greatest catastrophe ever', in my opinion.

2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.

No, no, no. This isn't World of Glitchcraft. Problems like that are supposed to be fixed. Now, it's unrealistic to expect that there will be no issues, but at the same time you don't give them a break. They need to get stuff fixed.

I'm waiting until this evening when I can login to see if this is the biggest catastrophe ever though.


Problems like that are typically fixed very quickly... But that fact escapes the doomsayers.
"Biggest catastrophe ever".... LOL



I was thinking like all the NPCs were dead or all the planets were invisible, something like that. If this really is the biggest catastrophe ever for the game, I'm pretty happy.

Because no, unless you're a kid that doesn't care about world news, a patch from a game is definitely not the "greatest catastrophe ever".

{mod edit}

If it only was "one title". But it's the same freaking out for every freaking feature of the game, since it's been released.

And you know it.

Also, it's not about comparing to real life catastrophes. It's how much importance is given to such a detail in everyday life. You can't be a grown up adult with real life worries when you see so much drama in a patch failure.

I highly doubt OP actually believes its a great catastrophy but if he had titled the thread "issues with 1.1" he probably would have gotten 1 or two replies and the thread would be on page 3 already. But now well probably get 10 pages of responses.... forums can be so predictable... its called baiting..

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.

If there is a serious exploit that allows maxxing valor in (insert short period of time) they best fix THAT pretty fast. Other wise they will unbalance the PvP bracket  they just created.

 

Otherwise...blah...

Can anyone deny or confirm if world pvp kills get registered / give valor also after you completed the daily on Illum or is that mechanic strictly tied in to the quest?

And if not: only on Ilum or on all planets?

*curious is*

As for the sensationalist title, yes, I'm aware that the title fits in the tabloid approach of discussing things, but just like those tabloids, it diminishes the news and article writer in trustworthiness and actual news value.

Well you have to understand that their last myth about the patch being delayed so that people would have to resub was just destroyed last night. So in the end it was a delay of ONE day. Hardly an attempt by bioware to squeeze more subs but I doubt you'll see any of them come back and admit they were wrong.

 Plus, they're using random posts from the official website to make up for the fact that they have absoloutely NO clue about what is actually in game. Hence the many fabrications that tend to spew out.

Holy friggin crap is that all you biodrones are gonna do is harp on the TITLE of the thread... really?

Of course the title is dramatic... thats how you get people to read them... duh.

The newspapers headlines didnt read

"We found hitler... he was already dead. But we found him"

No it said "HITLER DEFEATED"

But no... go ahead... dont actually address the issue... The title... Thats whats important here

 

Insulting other posters doesn't make you look smart or give credit to your arguments, it just makes you look petty and biased in your own way -_-

 

As for the sensationalist title, yes, I'm aware that the title fits in the tabloid approach of discussing things, but just like those tabloids, it diminishes the news and article writer in trustworthiness and actual news value.

I dont need to insult anyone... after you scroll through 3 pages with nothing but "dramatic title posts" with no argument for that actual OP... they kinda of insult themselves with no need for intervention from me...

This is not a tabloid approach... all newpapers do this... not just tabloid.

I eagerly await your next post in which you continue to ignore the OP and continue to point out non important issues... like the title of the thread, who is insulting who, or better yet... lets do one of those... "your account has less than X number of post so your views are irrelevant" posts... those are popular I hear

 

I think your arguments say enough about you already, no need to continue. And no, even though all newspapers color their titles, only sensationalist tabloids phrase them to emotional dramatic extremes. As for the thread, I already stated what I thought of the OP in my 1st post, I also stated what I thought of your way of insulting other posters in your posts, so I'm pretty much done with that. Feel free to continue on your own though if you need to.

I admit there is a very unusal number of haters for this game, webwide. Like, suspicious unusual number :/

The valor thing was hotfixed already, if it even existed. Just tried to kill one and we got 11 valor. They have 1.3 million health and do insane damage so yeah, not worth it.

That being said, Illum is even worse now than the daily trading crap.

Myth? I do not thing that means what you think it means

 

here are the facts:

they were about to release a patch with a minuscule amount of PvE content which many people would have breezed thru, with 2 days left to start paying for a sub

they claim the patch was delayed due to some "gamebreaking issue"

they havent told us what was the issue

they havent told us what was done to fix it

the patch is released with 1 one day left to pay for the sub, and still, noone knows what the issue was.....more like, if it really existed lol

they only know they now have 1 day to try the new content, which coincidently, doesnt seem to last much longer than that

 

looks like for the first time, BioWare really DID run some metrics instead of just claiming they did, and realized that 2 days was too much 

 

 

 

the way the patch, delayed due to fixing the forementioned (yet never mentioned lol) gamebreaking issue, is released and it shows an incredible gamebreaking issue making it into the game is just the icing on the cake LOL

oh well, a shame

how many valor levels did you gain out of it? highest Ive seen on my server's general chat was 46. I suppose those who gained more are shutting their mouths in fear of getting rolled back....
