    It's the sound of thousands of SWG vets heads exploding with pure joy. 

     

    EA, don't screw this up.  Let BioWare do what they do best.

    
     

    i doubt SWG vets would play it unless it was a sandbox, which i highly doubt will be.

    
     

    Speak for yourself. I'm a vet and I welcome this new SW MMO.  an MMO doesn't have to be like swg pre-cu to be great. In fact SWG Pre-cu was anything but great. It had very few things going for it.

    /sigh  9 million people do not actively play this game.  It boggles my mind that informed people, even those writing for mmorpg.com, don't know the difference between "accounts" and "active players."

    That being said, the only real positive thing I see in WotLK is the 10 man progression path.  Other than that it will be the same game.  Grind terribly written quests until you hit 80.  Raid, battleground, or arena until your fricken eyes bleed and the next expansion arrives in 2112.

    
     

    You know what amazes me is people like you who talk about things they have no understanding of. Not only do you do that, but you also try to tell your opinion as the truth. I feel sorry that I have to explain this as it has been explained many times over in the past but here I go....

    If you read the fine print on Blizzards statements about their playerbase it clearly states they count only ACTIVE accounts. This includes by the hour,day or w/e they use in china. This is also based on all subscriptions around the world and not just North america. Next time, please don't try to call mmorpg staff writers liars because you failed to comprehend basic english.

     

    And no, I quit WoW awhile ago, I play Age of Conan.

    Galadourn I’ve already mentioned that in other posts about this, but it simply poses the question if these mistakes where made why did Tasos only make a request for a single word correction.

     

     

    This whole thing is a mess because Tasos and Aventurine decided to attended a Greek gaming conference and gave an “exclusive” interview to the Greek website covering this conference without ever mentioning it to the community, until I and other people drew the community attention to it.

    Tasos could correct everything in that article and post it on the official forums or on the GameWorld site, but no, he just makes vague and ambiguous allegations that the article is at fault, and now the Articles author claims there where no mistakes at all.

    Are we to presume that this “exclusive” interview will also be full of the same inaccuracies, mistakes, misquotes and misrepresentation?

    Under 6 months from launch and this appears to be the sort of PR and media exposure Tasos is presenting to the community so far, I sincerely hopes he starts acting a lot more professionally and competently over the next few months for his and are benefit.

    I think we are overestimating the importance this internet article has; Aventurine are probably so busy at the moment they can't be bothered to pursue correction of misquotes/inaccuracies.

     

    Plus, this same site will hold the proper online interview, so I believe Tasos will be able to present all the facts about his previous experience and Aventurine's in detail very soon

    I'm sure they're just so busy, so busy in fact they could not say a few simple words or send out an e-mail correcting their false statements. I wish I could be so busy I was unable to say anything at all, ever.

    One Doom thread and all the hater are straight on it. Nothing changes...

    
     

    I used to be a huge fanboy of this game, and I still hold out hope for it, but after todays patch I am feeling the urge to just not play anymore. It has nothing to do with armor or classes, as those are mostly fixed at 80. The problem I have is grey mobs and how they scale, and how they destroyed any chance of anyone killing an elite mob lower level then them. It's rediculous how much a mob 25 levels below me can do. I literally get destroyed by mobs 20-40 levels below me after today. 

     

     I really hope funcom reverts the grey mobs evade "revision" as the last grey mob adjustment they did was too much as it is.

    
     

    it was done to stop people farming them as they were over and over for blues for guildies. Now I find it tough to to kill a boss 20 lvls below or so, found this out from some quests I missed out on. I think they might have made them a little to hard, yes forsure, maybe will get tweaked again. Something needed to be done though, I saw far too many 80's at Sanctum just apprenticing the group and running through the mobs to the boss. 

    So yes i am in agreement with you that something needs to be done, it needs tidying up a bit better.

    
     

    It's not the fact they are trying to keep people from farming bosses below them as that should be a personal choice not a forced one. It is a design flaw they have to live with and they are obviously attempting to stop any and all gold farming ( by anyone not just sellers). This is the wrong way of doing it and it has completely destroyed any chance of anyone completing grey quests that they were  unable to complete when they were the right level(open dungeons, good idea on paper, bad in execution).  before todays patch I had to find 2 other players that were 63+ just to finish main system, because it is almost impossible to do in the 50's. Now that is not even possible. Bosses hit for an insane amount and you will need a full group to kill alevel 50 boss no matter if your level 50 or level 80.

     

    I know I am not the only person that thinks this is a fatal flaw in their design, and it is going to cause a lot of issues.  I am now completely locked out of doing any elite quests that I had saved up because they were impossible to do before. Where does that leave me now? I feel like I've lost about 1/6 of the game, and all because they wanted to stop people abusing their bad stat and level system.

     

    *Small edit: I'm just about to hit 80, so yes removing the ability to do any elite content that is 10-40 levels below me is a serious blow to the playability I current am presented with. There is not much to do at 80, and this has seriously shortened the list.)
