With GW2 on the horizon, this hardly sells me on returning. This has to be one of the least informative interviews I have seen in quite a while. Good luck to them, but its over.
And he thinks the level cap will get people back and playing.......people will wait for the next "free month", level up and thats pretty much it, nice for him to say about the new item grind /yawn, nothing he has said that will get me to resub again
Never once did he look at the camera...probably one of the worst interviews I have ever seen. Pokket...go back to being pokket, you went from amazing to run of the mill. Daniel, way to little way to late. Sorry bud, you had the chance at a stellar triple A title and you flushed it.
Pocked needs a bit more camera experience and Erickson is just doing what she does (as his media training probably told him to)
When the interviewer Uses that camera (stares into it) and uses sentences like ,could you tell our viewers bla bla bla , then (mostly) the responder will both look at the interviewer and the camera in response.
or perhaps P8D just had some chemistry going on ;)

When I hear more 'gear progression', I? throw up a little in my mouth.
SWTOR is failing because of the dated design. Only the most loyal fanboys will stick around once GW2 and slew of other great, more innovative MMORPG's release.
ive been considering to get a buy a month sub but i might just wait for July to start the free 15 levels instead. I still Like Swtor but i would prefer no subs here.
Bioware is obviously aware they need to address endgame content and I will be playing it as a result. Pocket did a great job and I cant wait till GW2 releases and you all have something other than haunting SWTOR topics to try and convert people.
Bioware doesn't need to change a thing, they have a paycheck coming in m, and they really could careless about the community. That is what EA breeds, and it is becoming an epidemic
Pokket is close friends with many of the BiOWare ppl so you wont get her asking any tuff questions or talking bad about the game.
Anything to do with ToR the next year will be what would have been in the game if EA ****ed off and let BW finish the game on their own time. Not saying it would be a different game but it would be less of a cluster **** it is now.
I just hope that theyre not doing like World of Warcraft did and just keep adding vertical content.
I'd hate for everytime they add new story they raise the level cap. Thats my big fear. I mean there is no reason my class story has to stop at level cap. I'd love it if gave me a branching class story line.
And goddamn Pokket has some sexy skin. Course she was wearing all black. But I sure do love me some milk smooth complexion.
I was gung-ho for TOR pre-launch... I was so confident of the games success that I would have pre-purchased 2 lifetime subs, if offered (for me & my kids). But once I hit 50, the fun instantly disappeared. Took advantage of the free month, and let the sub drop.
I'll only come back if there are server merges. Transfers won't really help the population... you might bolster one server, but at the cost of another. Cutting 1/2... or 2/3's of the current servers makes sense to me.
Was looking for any mention of addressing SWTOR's many shortcomings - empty zones, poor LFG & dungeon finder, poor guild support, redundant game play, uninspried space combat, etc. etc. All I heard was gear grind, legacy grind, and a new planet. I guess the new planet is something.
Gee guys don't sweat her too much. Probably makes her uncomfortable on her own worksite.
On the other note, I'm actually surprised they are still trying. IMO better to lay everyone off or move them to other projects at this point. Merge all the servers, keep whoever you need to maintain it and let it run its course until the money stops coming in. Then pull the plug and call it a day.
Sweet sassy molassy Pokket, you are mind numbing mouth drooling hot. I liked your crazy hair, unlike everyone else here. But your hair like this now is like OMFG!!! I wanna eat your head!!
Serious chemistry going on there. Look how they look at each other and only at each other like there's no one else in the world. Look at that handshake and the moments following.
This interview, one in a long line has convinced me that the faboys have managed to make Bioware believe there is NOTHING missing from this game and it isnt lacking in gameplay variety...such blind defense...there is no chance for this game to rebound and regain subscribers now. They can add 10 new planets and it wont fill in the blackhole that is this games gameplay.
Everything Daniel Erikson says confirms my worst fears for SW:TOR, his constant talking about 'progression mode' 'nightmare mode' loot grind nonsense is precisely why I hated SW:TOR in the beta test when I played, and am even more unhappy with it now. Adding entire new planets won't save this, even when a corporate shill apologist like Erikson keeps trying to leeringly suggest otherwise to Pokket.
You have to have toons on both republic side and sith side to get the hk companinion, well there is a grind all on its on. So when is this all going to happen. I guess December or later. Heck we cant even get a faq on the server transfers.

Wed Jun 06 2012 11:17AM ReportWhat a waste of time.. I pre-ordered, canceled after beta, and had to unsubscribe from their e-mails due to the shenanigans they kept trying to push
Wed Jun 06 2012 12:03PM ReportDidnt they fire the other guy that was apart of leading the SWTOR community?

Wed Jun 06 2012 12:10PM Reportexcellent sound , great job !
Wed Jun 06 2012 12:34PM ReportPlaying SWTOR is like poking a turd with a stick and expecting it to be fun.
Wed Jun 06 2012 12:39PM Reportlfmao why is he not watching in the camera...
eh ok ok I he prefers to watch the girl but still ...
Wed Jun 06 2012 12:41PM Reporthis hands kept getting closer.... o.O
Wed Jun 06 2012 12:42PM ReportI had a bad feeling about this game when the first screenshot was released.
But I never realized the magnitude of just how mundane Bioware would make this game and its subsequent updates.
Wed Jun 06 2012 1:32PM ReportLOL I_Return, Jedi Mind Trick and rotate hands, works everytime....erm sometimes...a couple of times..........
Wed Jun 06 2012 1:56PM ReportI would rather look at her too than the camera ;D.
Why, Why, Why do we have to have more gear grind /cry.
Wed Jun 06 2012 2:20PM ReportSWTOR the ultimate nightmare mode of gameplay.
Wed Jun 06 2012 2:39PM Reportwell pokket finally fixed her fried hair dam she looks hot as hell for once lol.
Hey daniel did we lose any subs? lol
Wed Jun 06 2012 2:43PM ReportPokket looks great, unfortunately DE couldn't take his eyes off her. Tell that mook to talk towards the camera next time.
Wed Jun 06 2012 3:10PM ReportOh look, the lead Dev suffers from severe tunnel vision. Big shocker.
Wed Jun 06 2012 3:35PM Reporthis eyes qre cught in the headlights maybe ?
Wed Jun 06 2012 3:54PM ReportNothing he said makes me want to go back.
Pocket is gorgeous. Much better since ditching the pink hair. Give her more interviews, she could use the practice and the camera likes her :)

"...its what's editings for."
:D
Wed Jun 06 2012 10:14PM ReportKept making choking jestures with his hand, even subconsciously SWTOR can't help but choke.
Wed Jun 06 2012 10:14PM Reportive been considering to get a buy a month sub but i might just wait for July to start the free 15 levels instead. I still Like Swtor but i would prefer no subs here.

Thu Jun 07 2012 12:20AM ReportThese guys seem out of touch, or handcuffed. Maybe both.

Thu Jun 07 2012 4:11AM ReportNothing on space combat = not really interested.
I'm tired of not being able to play this game because either:
a) I'm not the right class
b) I don't have the required gear
Same BS as WoW.
Thu Jun 07 2012 5:13AM ReportOh Pokket he couldnt take his eyes off you he was even male showing off to try and beat chest. I call wedding next fall!

Not re-subscribing.
Thu Jun 07 2012 10:05AM ReportI think they should start over. SWTOR 2 please!
Thu Jun 07 2012 10:39AM ReportToo late unfortunately. OAC never recovered from all their fixing and adding content, neither will TOR.
Thu Jun 07 2012 10:51AM Reportgirl doesnt look too bad.

Thu Jun 07 2012 1:04PM Report"you can go down, and ahh play" Pokket's eyebrows raise...
Bahahah, she can go down and ahh "play" with me anytime. ;D

I'm now a Pokket/Daniel Erickson shipper lol.

Thu Jun 07 2012 10:26PM ReportDid someone say they wanted to eat pokkets head?
Mkay. As for the interview, Erikson looks like he needs a beer and a hug. Not that he'd get either from me, but..he looks like he needs it.
Sat Jun 09 2012 3:04AM ReportCan't watch cause of eye candy only pocket. Hopefully they made an article.
