Yes!
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Well, not like he was the creative lead or anything but... I hope whatever he's onto will be more interesting and forward-thinking than SWTOR turned out to be.
 Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one. BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward. |

I wonder how much the guy 9in the Jedi costume behind him got paid to do that. Stand there in a goofy costume... Thats some decent work right there, lol.

Watch who he hires. If it's a ton of ex-BW/SWTOR devs...... /fail.

Future news article from 2017: Rich Vogel leaves the video game industry..... Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

You say executive producer of SWTOR as if that's a good point!

I would never bash BioWare devs being hired on en masse. Don't forget that a lot of the game you experience with big publishers attatched comes down to the publishers' expectations on their bottom line and less on the developers' visions for their projects. We see this happen with more MMOs than any other genre IMO....well, if you subtract IP based games quickly developed for a side by side release with the movie for which they are based on.

Ah nothing like the good old business practice of hiring people that continue to support failed business models. I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less. |

Exec Producer of SWTOR? Why are people saying, "yes"?

Unless he has $50-100 Millions in finance and plans to recreate SWG, it will be a failure.

Maybe the ex-producer title is a good thing. I think, maybe, that it adds to the work experience and seeing of how such a big name company/big IP doesn't always make the game the company was hoping for. Who knows, by being involved in such a recent big hype game, some caution flags may come up and and some creative thinking may come into effect. |

Originally posted by mmoDAD Because many people can still actually look passed someone last archivements? Beside that simply because the game failed does not mean he is a bad developer. I mean I am sure not all programmers (if any) working on SWOTOR are actually bad programmers. In fact I guess most of them are part of the best games programmers you can find. |

Couple this with the announcement that Erickson is leaving (without a new job, no less) and it means..........something.
Can't put my finger on it, but it means something....... I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil |

Originally posted by Leviathon77 I reject your reality and substitute my own where I remind you that a number of Mythic devs who work on and were 'responsible' for the mess that was Warhammer Online were absorbed into BW and worked on SWTOR where they immediately pushed their broken philosophy of pvp. It was as successful in SWTOR as it was in Warhammer Online. I'll let someone else make clever remarks about turds and punchbowls. |
