Star Wars: The Old Republic - Megathread/Discussion [Release Day is Upon Us]

I don't mind waiting. I hope Bioware doesn't give in to all the hate on the Official forums. Nothing or no one is perfect. I have good faith in Bioware. :)

I got no problem waiting, got a few other great games to play atm anyways (Anno 2070, Serious Sam3 and Batman AC) :P

For CHRIST's SAKE people STOP COMPLAINING. You sound like 5 year olds that didn't get the lollie they wanted.

BioWare has stated since the START that they are doing this method on purpose to not overwhelm the servers and give every player a good experience.

I can't believe people complain when a company is looking after their players.

Just wait patiently, and if u don't get in until the 20th, big WHOOP....it's 5 days away.

PS: most of you don't know, but this is just like any new big network being installed. No one installs a complex network and then just plugs everything in at the same time, it's done in stages.

You are a condescending one. Try posting just once as if you were at the same level as the typical gamer, tough to see you way up there on that high horse.

No high horse, I am afraid of riding horses actually.

I don't mind people looking forward to it.... I can't wait to play.

What pisses me off is people complaining about the "sheet" system and comments like that. The system is there, in that way for a reason, and that reason favors the gamer...so the complaint is wrong.

I am pre-ordered and I am not getting in until the 20th, I am not complaining. I can not believe the people who do though. Seriously, it just comes out selfish and ultimately childish. I have seen some people even insult Bioware and then demand that they wipe out the servers.

Even though I wont get in until the 20th I think this is a great thing for me as well, do you know why? Because this headstart also means that I will get less competition for mobs.

Exactly. I pre-ordered and probably won't get in until 20th either. Doesn't matter, I have my MW3 and FIFA12 to keep me busy.

Wouldn't it be WORSE that they open up all servers to EVERYONE and then you have server lag, crashes, quests not working properly etc. I've seen this happen in many MMO launches.

Anyone who has an opinion regarding a product/service they are paying for does not deserve to be called names and insulted in other ways as well. You earned the ENTITLEMENT upon reach in your wallet. It does not mean they are automatically right, but they deserve an opinion nonetheless.

Some of you gamers needs to remember these are businesses and you are customers, sometimes I think this simple fact is forgotten. Bioware is rolling in our dough, don't feel bad for them because someone criticizes then, I mean come on. Remember these are opinions, just because you think a certain way does not make it better than the next guy's way of thinking. Disagree then agree to disagree when you bump heads.

I do call it condescending and high horse behavior because a few of you are acting as though you are high and mighty with your self-righteous views as you stomp out the peasants below.

Exactly, to me it seems Bioware has learned a great deal from other mmo launches and are adapting to it.

I too have plenty of other games to play in the meanwhile. I bought Evil Genious recently on GOG, then I have Kenshi, The Sims 3, console games, books and Guild Wars to keep me occupied.

Yes, and they are a business who is taking GREAT care with their customers.

So I guess basically if you go to a cafe, and order some food.... and they treat you nicely, then you complain anyway?

Everybody here has agreed with me. It's got nothing to do with high horse or anything. BioWare ISN"T ROLLING IN OUR DOUGH YET, cause they are just pre-orders who normally don't get paid until it's delivered. They explained the system of roll out many weeks before and WHY they were doing it.

Complaints like "this system is sheet" or "BioWare is crap because it won't let me play" is CHILDISH, customer or not.

Of course, they have the right to have an opinion, but when they go and insult the devs over an extra bonus. That is when they cross the line. It is an extra bonus, be happy they even allow people to play earlier.

Neither me and Felipe wont be playing until the 20th, but we understand how this is a good thing, even for us.

A little message from Stephen Reid, the Community Manager for SWTOR concerning today's Early Access launch. Linky

Vfibsux, next time you get yourself into issues like this learn to read, can't say it in any other way. Getting ahead of the rest isn't a guaranteed bonus, they never said you will get in, even if you pre-ordered the mega super imba 6K $ edition. I wonder if most that are complaining and screaming of entitlement ever played a MMO at launch, they're doing you a favor and no I'm not taking their side, couldn't care less, that's how things are.DanielDust

Umm, maybe you should "LEARN TO READ" as you so maturely stated to me, I never argued the validity of the complaints for or against. I am simply tired of some people on this board defending big game devs as if they were being paid to do so. And yes you could have said it another way because I am quite literate and that was quite insulting.

Very rational? Nothing you have said is rational, I'm beginning to think you are probably one of those people that have complained.

Read the linky Steameffekt posted: if that's not clear to you or anyone else complaining, then you seriously need to calm down and look at urselfs.

They are looking after the PLAYERS, thinking and planning every corner of the launch as carefully as they can. This doesn't happen often with most MMOs, who just want to sell and get players playing....and not worry about broken quests, server stability and the like.

I'm not defending the devs... but it needs to be noted when a developer does something correctly and looks after their clients, just like BioWare gets slack here cause of Dragon Age 2 etc.

I had to stop visiting the SWTOR forums because of the childish complaining on that site. I think I could physically prove that reading SWTOR forums (at least pre-subscription) at a routine rate lowered a person's IQ rate accordingly. Which is detrimental to me during a finals week! At the time, 99% of posts on SWTOR forums were blatant stupidity. The good ole "I LOVE YOU BIOWARE AND EVERYTHING YOU DO, BUT IF I DO NOT GET IN ON THE 13TH I AM CANCELING MY ORDER!!!"

Not to mention all the gameplay aspects they QQ'd about...some of them were so obscene it is hard to call them opinions anymore, besides just being wrong. So many times I hoped Bioware just ignored forum posts.

It's easy to understand the frustation since people have been anticipating the game for years, granted everyone should expect problems at launch, but years of anticapation tumbling around the hype machine will have its effects. People see alot of good times to be had in this game and probably had put off plans to join in the early access launch. Easy to see the frustation in that.

But bah, wish I could of gotten a job ta join in the fun though (would need a new computer).

Lucky sobs

[QUOTE="lx_theo"][QUOTE="Steameffekt"] Yeah, I hope they cancel their pre-orders. TOR doesn't need a community like that. FelipeInside

Haha, I remember going back to WOW after a stint in LOTRO when it went F2P

My god, the contrast was AMAZING. First pub on WOW since my return, prompt vote kick, hunter gets accused of being a 'huntard', then I get accused of being a noob, despite getting thourgh the instance with relative ease, then the tank decides that he's so aloft and mighty as to walk his dog while we were half-way through the instance. Dear god... and that was the VERY first pub since returning to the game...I can't think of any worse a punishment than being forced to pub in WOW...never again.

Since then, I only played WOW with clanmates.

Since TOR's widespread appeal, it will definitely have that kind of community, I say find a clan that you like, get cozy and enjoy the game within the clan's boundaries.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Yeah, this is what I'm worried about, but honestly it's gonna happen and there is nothing we can do about it. Some servers will be full of 12 year olds complaining about noobs and the likes.

What server are you all going to join? I'm having a hard time choosing one. I've never been in the launch of an MMO and don't want to pick a server to later find out either a. The community sucks, or b. People leave it for unknown reasons causing it to be barren.
