Butthurt much?

You don't consider an ability lag of a second or 2 "an issue"?

That's where we disagree. WoW's engine was precise and working, no HUGE performance issues (like SWTOR) and certainly NOT SEVERAL SECONDS ability delays. WoW might have had less hype, but at least the basics were on a solid ground where you could build on. If the engine is as bad as SWTOR's and being told "these problems are the sort of problems that won't be fixed in very fast" (translate: they have no idea how to fix the engine to reduce performance issues and ability lag, I find it extremely hard to have any faith in this game. If the base was on solid ground but the extra features lacking, I would still have my hopes up. Other way around, I guess a lot of people will come to disappoint.

Good for you. I have a 2 months old $1900 PC and I am seeing fairly poor performance (not flash show but relatively low FPS which should not happen with these game graphics). Running "fine" and running like "it should" are 2 different things. My rig runs top games like Skyrim, BF3 etc at very high FPS readings. SWTOR gives me top 80-100 FPS and in warzones it might drop to 40 when a lot of action is on the screen. On Ilum it dropped down to 15-20 FPS after 1.1. That never happened in other games such as WoW. And by all means, I am not the only one who is experiencing this - well you might had actually already noticed that from the amount of feedback already if consider matters objectively. But that was not the point, my point was: what will the state of the game be in 2 years time in your opinion?

I never thought this game would be playable right off the bat and let's be honest: it's not. First of all, the engine does not allow a smooth gameplay which is required from a late 2011 AAA MMORPG. Where do you think the game will be in 2 years? Have they fixed the ability lag issues for both factions? How about the performance issues for top dollar rigs? Will there be adequate amount of content for others than just people who just enjoy story while leveling and then quit/make an alt? I think the most probable scenario is that it will be a sub par MMO like Aion. It will also probably have a F2P/P2P system implemented. All the hardcore raiders and PvPers have left the game so the more casual peeps who enjoy the story are left. What do you think? Seriously, please! No "it will kill WoW in 6 months"-stories - we all know those kids are long gone now.

Hey we have this new feature where you can gank endlessly your opposing faction while they can't do anything about - they can't even leave the place!

Viddy no worky.

I agree, SWTOR is a failure.

Like I said my good gentlemen and ladies, the first post was my opinion. Even trolls (sigh..) are entitled to one. Good discussion so far, I appreciate the posts from both sides of the fence. Why I think it failed? It never delivered. It never met the hype. I expected much more. Many promises were broken. But most importantly, the game does not function like an MMORPG should (speaking about the engine). If you still like the game (and still, after 6 months) I say: good for you. I, on the other hand, am expecting a product which I am promised. If not delivered, I walk away.

What do you think? What were BW's biggest mistakes? What could it learn for the next MMORPG (if they ever produce another one after this awkward failure?) Or was it even a failure? Was the target to kill WoW in the end? My opinion: - WORST Enginge ever (for a multi hundred million project) ability lag and performance issues are something that should not exist in a late 2011 "AAA" MMORPG - Server instancing - Too linear - Too small servers - Horrible endgame (raiding/PvP) - Too much focus on story (okay, it's story driven, but this was way over the top) - Too much attempt to copy WoW - going the safe way, no real new ideas to make people actually quit WoW and never miss it Simply - lack of creativity, mediocrity in design and inexperience What's your opinion?

Complaining? Simply asking for a mean of improving the game.

That's the qualitative research I mean, nobody's going to read them anyway so why bother? Hard statistics is more specific and faster/more efficient to data mine.

I felt the options were inadequate. Maybe make it a bit more quantitative research instead of qualitative: ie have multiple choice questions. Why? Because this option will be used a lot in the coming days, and maybe you could learn something from it.

Hahha, this is so wrong. This game and its graphics could never justify such low FPS readings from your PC. And you couldn't be happier? I smell troll.
