Originally posted by Xerith Ya knowing the EXACT nummbers of subs and wether a game lost a few or gained a few was never that important to me. However, unfortunately the popularity of an MMO, unlike other type of games, effects their current playerbase and changes teh direction of the development of that game. This is totaly unlike console or single player games that dont require constant updating. This is why major changes in MMO subs wether up or down are worthy of looking at. A desparate company thats hemmorging subs will make sweeping changes to their game where as a company thats gaining subs will make changes but keep on the same path they are on. |

Originally posted by DrDream Even IF you beleive all the haters and the game is as bad as THEY say it is. If you compare this game to single player games or console games. Its definitly worth picking up for $60 and playing a month. You would get as much enjoyment if not more then most otehr console games in that month just playing the class story(s) out. |

To the OP. i also like rift. And like you said. Rift has since launch improved their game dramatically. I think you should take that as a lesson that some devs can imrpove a game over time.
So with that said, wouldn't it be fair to give Bioware the same amount of time to work out bugs and insert more content as Rift has had. Rift came out 9 months before SWTOR. Its only fitting to see what bioware can do in 9 months.
Personally as it satnds right now, SWTOR is as good if not better then rift was after just 1.5 months after release. And Bioware has already done some good improvements and the things on their plate they claim will be added soon look great.
I'm sticking with SWTOR because. Fro people complaining and have a lot of MMO experience should be ashamed at bashing an MMO this early after launch. You vets should have learned by now that you can;t really judge an MMO until after about 6 or so months after launch. And you should have also known that if you waant a perfect game you need not buy the game until that time frame has past. |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Behind the Numbers
News Discussion « General Discussion 1/21/12 5:20:28 AM
I spend $60 buck on video games that I play to death in about a month. SWTOR is no different so even if I thought the end game was too crappy, I would still consider the game a good purchase. |

Its not an oversight. You can get teh founders title by subbing to the game before the deadline. Like the above poster said. Its awful trendy to nitpick things to death. Its a company, they are doing business. This includes marketing. How is this different then anything else? |

I understand some people will not like the game but honestly if you want to claim things like this is a SPRPG only then you folks jsut chose not to play the game. There's plenty of things to do with people in this game.
And as for GW2. I'm looking forwarded to it. But I just dont see where all this "innovation" talk comes from. I've seen the combat in person. Not very innovated at all. Is it more dynamic then say, SWTOR? Maybe, but its far from this "OMFG its goign to be so Fcking COOL!" thing people are touting. |

Analyst Estimates Investment of SWTOR to be $500 Million
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic 1/18/12 5:48:38 AM
i guess we forget that the $775 million also includes game franchises like Dragon Age and Mass Effect.......
Its not hard for a MMO as popular as this to make up its cost, especially with the inital box sales hitting over one milion. SWTOR will be fine and EA will have a somehwat great success. SWTOR could be a cash cow but it all will come down to what BW will do over the next 6-12 months. By the looks of the latest patch and all the small patches they do I think they are on the right track. |

Non-biased overview of SWtOR
Reviews & Impressions « Star Wars: The Old Republic 1/18/12 5:40:43 AM
good review, the only complaint you have that I would take issue with is the that the world is too railroaded. Yes it seems that way for the first 20 levels. But I am guessing you never made it to Hoth or Tatt. The worlds really start to open up once you get tpast level 25 or leave Nar Shaddah |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Tightening Up the Graphics
News Discussion « General Discussion 1/18/12 5:35:44 AM
I dont see what the big deal is. I've always had an updated top of teh line hhigh end PC and never in any MMO did I really get close to anything that would warrant even having high end detail. I dont zoom in on anything, so for me no biggie.
In SWTOR the high resolution is only really needed in the cutscenes IMHO. |

Originally posted by paintchips Um, you can kite in melee. Hit him and kite until your cooldoans are active againa nd hit him again, then kite some more. Are you seriously saying becuase melee can kite there is something wrong with the game? I call it a breath of fresh air when playing melee.
Back on topic. i level a merc, an operative, a juggernaut, and assassin all to mid 30's and been having fun with all four in pvp. i dont really see any over/under power with any of them., I can tell you thought like the above paragraph, melee has some nice starts to do (especially in pvp), that doesnt require you only to chase mindlessly people around hope to whack them with your sword a few times. Again, breath of fresh air! |
