  1. They said January. Now it's been pushed back. I really pity all of the people making excuses for them. I was once at that point myself. And a big LEL to the easily misled who cannot recognize or acknowledge what they did with HK-55. You'll all reach this point some day. It's just a matter of what your breaking point is.
  2. Well then that's your problem. If you can't see the issue behind killing off a story character in the new expansion, one that is undoubtedly the most popular given KOTOR history, and hiding their return behind a paywall then you are easily swindled.
  3. People are upset that they killed off a beloved character, and then hid their return behind a subscription paywall because of the characters popularity. Big difference.
  4. I was really excited when this expansion dropped. It seemed the dev team turned a new leaf, and was seriously trying to give the fans what they want. Despite the rocky road after launch, and the fact I haven't played it since early access, I still kept my sub active because I figured it would go to support the upcoming chapters. Fast forward to late November, where we are hearing DREW KARPYSHYN of all people, among other Bioware employees teasing this unprecedented surprise for subscribers. The Austin branch has been known to overhype things, but again I figured this was a new and revised team. Well color me astounded when I found out that this "unprecedented" over hyped announcement is literally Bioware taking content out of the game, and then putting it up as an incentive for people to sub. I've kept my sub active,e ven though I haven't played since early access. But this is a new low and has turned me off from the game completely. You have a character that people have loved since Kotor, you put him in the game and then immediately kill them off. A couple weeks later, you tell people they can get him back but only if they fork over more money? Seriously? Do you honestly not see the problem with this? Who the hell is handling the marketing over there and why have they not been replaced with a more qualified person? Don't even get me started on our illustrious community manager and his incredible ability for conveying what the community actually wants. The Austin branch isn't even OG Bioware. They have done so much to taint the brand it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The only decent branch seems to be the one that handles the DA franchise. Looking across the forums, I see that I'm not the only one turned off by such despicable practices. I and many in the community had high respect for Drew, seeing him actively participate and promote this ridiculous endeavor has caused him to lose so much credibility now. This game has been bleeding subs because of a severely inept development team, it's as if they are trying to make bad decisions in order to gauge how long it will take for this game to finally crash and burn. I and many others wanted to bad for this game to reach its potential, and KoTFE looked like it was headed in that direction. But these pathetically desperate endeavors by this team has just reached the boiling point. So now I will join the crowd that will just wait a year and pay $15 for all of the story content. Why should I keep subbing even when I'm not playing when the money is going to crap like this, and not actually improving the story experience any further? I used to see a lot of these threads with walls of text, and people being fed up with this dev teams crap. I used to sit and laugh, defending Bioware. But not anymore, this is truly despicable. Judging by the reaction on the forums, I'm not the only one. It seems the only language you speak is the dollar, and I'm quite sure if you look at your all seeing metrics you will note a significant amount of sub cancellations upon your ludicrous announcement today. EA management must be incredibly forgiving, because any other private sector job will let go people who don't produce good results. Then again the majority of this team came from the failed Warhammer mmo. Shocking. This dev team needs new leadership, someone to come in, clean up and set this game on the path to glorious salvation. Tl;dr: Bioware's stupid new sub reward program only makes me want to unsub even during the months I don't play. Easier to just sub at the end of the season. This dev team desperately needs new leadership. No you can't have my stuff.
  5. Well according to the devs it's your fault since you probably skipped through the intro movies.
  6. It's a ripoff to pay $15 once in a years time and get all of the expansion content up to that point? Let's be real here..
  7. When CNN gets a hold of a story, they run it until it's dead, and then keep running it. As for their obsession with the Donny, all of the media outlets are hoping to get ratings and advertisement money from him. It's why at the debates, they increased their advertisement costs over 15x, and wanted to increase the duration. All they care about is money. To his credit, Trump at least asks them to donate the extra funds to wounded warriors and other veterans groups. Though I sincerely doubt they'll do that.
  8. With Disney's apparent newfound crackdown on showing skin in star wars, I doubt we'll see this in the future.
  9. People like you are why we can't kill off Quinn like we used to be able to during Beta.
  10. Valkorion's chest symbol is Zildrog as well. I have a feeling it will play a role in the game at some point.
  11. Agreed on most, except #5. I can only see that being true with fresh 60s, as you've had dealings with Lana in the past.
  12. Oh look, another thread made by a PVE hero who's unwilling to acknowledge that STORY was what brought people to SWTOR in the first place. Haven't seen that before. You do realize they just increased the server capacities. Twice. Last time I checked, they didn't do that when they released space ogre operation IX. Like it or not, people got into this game because we were promised a sequel to KOTOR I and II. We are finally getting that, and general consensus is that KoTFE is a success. So if you want to kill the space boss or grind gear on a repeatable mission for months, there are plenty of alternatives for you. Because the focus on story isn't changing. They've catered to your crowd, and it failed. Story is what this game was marketed for, and they are now successful because they returned to what they should have been doing all along.
  13. If you're such a high roller that they should be worried about, why are you panhandling for CC with referral links?
  14. It's probably been asked many times before, but Arcann's current armor set. We were able to face Revan reborn in his armor, so why not?
