Trying a SOE game? Advice: have very low expectations or just forget it

 

http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m?topic_id=325536

its really unbelieveable, there is gonna be an auto-store for mounts that many don't like. But Blix / the dev team don't give a damn about it....

Blixtev:

This is one of those cases where we had to worry more about the potential griefing, and or interruptions causes by players running about with large mounts tagging behind them.  One of the reasons we made many of the Beasts at such a reduced size.  We know people will cause grief with them and in this case that outweighs the RP element

Funny, like RP doesnt matter anymore..why not announce the game has officially become a MMOFPS then? Its close to that anyway already

or this:

Blixtev:

I understand the frustrations you are all bringing up, and have read all your suggested solutions however none of them would solve the problem at hand.  Do remember when implementing new systems we look at them from a large a view as possible and try to avoid creating situations where people end up being jerks to each other for no other reason than the game lets them.

frustration? of course frustration! pretending to listen to people but then just do it YOUR way again.

problem? what problem? Only problem coming now is that you allow the system to decide for the player what to do and nobody wants that.

its like the days when the NGE was introduced..nobody wanted it..but still they did it cause they know what we want/like to play...

Obviously somebody wanted it or the game wouldnt have 120k subs.

Your flame is useless.


I want it.

Bah, roleplay element? That's the most pathetic excuse I've heard, the roleplay element in SWG is gone thanks to the fact that almost the entirety of the roleplay community left.

Quoting people doesn't make you clever, in fact, it makes you all the more stupid for not bothering to read the quotes you post in the first place.

Did you even see the thread? How many liked it? Maybe 1 or 2.

Go to the development discussion board and see the Beast Mastery Feedback thread there. See anyone who likes it? Sorry dude, your on your own then

By the way, i quoted the quotes for the lazy people who dont bother reading the thread 

and still plenty of people role play...or at least try, but this is not the way to make it better..

why allways see just the negative ? everyone has different views on things, some like it and some don't. the fact is that mainly only the whinners prowl the soe forums, that is why most posts are so negative there and the reason main reason none of the actual players take part in the forum activity is because trying to sort through 30 topics of people whinning about stupid little things to get to a good one is just annoying. NOT EVERYONE IN THE GAME POSTED THEIR OPINION THERE, so you cannot say none wants it. i know certainly i did not post my views there.

Well then, do you like it? Do you want to be told what to do with your mounts? Don't you mind the devs going their own way again while its so obivious that auto-store doesn't add anything but unhappy people cause of it? Even though it might be a minior thing it just doesn't make any sense doing it this way..

I swear, even if SWG was the best ever game out there, I wouldnt play it due to the whingers and whiners that make up 90% of posts I read from current, or even ex,  players.

The visible community of this game must put so many off.

i don't have a problem with you liking the feature or not, i already said people will have different opinions on the subject, it is after what makes us humans so unique.

i do have a problem with your topic title "this feels like nge all over again."

you totaly ignored all the positive additions to the game over tha last few months and of chapter 6 still to come and based a "nge all over again" catastrpohy based on one thing that you don't like.

it just sounds a little silly doesn't it ?

whats so silly if its true that the devs do it their way while the people on the forums (call them all whiners if you want...thats a lie, obvious) and possibily quite a few who are playing instead of looking at the forums, don't want the change? Its not here right now so why would it be necessary? In that i see the same as what was done with the NGE.

I said it might be minior..but still, why cant they just give in and do what their paying customers most likely want to see? Still doesnt make any sense..strange people those soe devs

both chapter 5 and chapter 6 is FULL of changes that players asked for. the dev's knew there would be conflict because of the auto mount/store feature. they said it in their post, they also appoligized for it in their post, but they also said that they feel it is the right thing to do why can't you accept that and move on ? with nge they did not oplogize or anything, they just brought the hammer down on everyone, i really don't see how you can compare this to nge and even say that they are not listening to the players. if they did not listen to the players we would not have had such great additions to the game in the last few months. infact, the only thing that may yet save this game is the fact that they are now for the first time in 4 years paying attention to what the players want. but you cannot expect them to put every little thing you want in the game, you have to compromise as much as they do. they sit in an position where they have the advantage of seeying the bigger picture where as we just see the tip of the iceberg. for all you know they have a very good reason for making the change ... anyway, like i said, it is the topic title i have a problem with, that and the fact that you said they don't listen to players, which might have been true in the past, but certainly was not with the last few chapters.
