In Defense of EA/Bioware

Two points:

the engine sucks for an mmo. You do not pick an engine which has problems with massive. But this probably is not the fault of the software team.

The real beef lies with the design and pr. Ilum was a shameful travesty. they were told their implementation would be terrible. lack of premade 50s on test means poor testing. Poor testing = poor patches.

And their pr department, by all appearances, has never played a game in their life.

I care not for excuses.

*cracks whip*

Bioware - try harder.

Always try harder.

As a consumer, it's my job to keep
kicking them up the whatsit,
So they don't slack off.

They hired the best PvP devs in the business. I heard this once. Can we see some credentials on that statement?

They asked the devs, they said they were the best.

well that settles that. It's on the internet so it must be true

i used to defend them, then they decided to say that im not loyal and supportive of the game because i dont have a level 50, my mind has changed

So that is the only thing you saw in that masterpiece of post, you are apparently a glass fully empty, and melted down for recycle person.

He said "software aint easy" too. Ya I read it. The jiff of his defense was "poop happens". My kids have better defenses for non sense.

Why would anyone defend EA



It's like saying Bobby Kotick is doing great things for video gamers everywhere. The very idea is so absurd it's making my head spin.

while i agree with some of what you say, i can't agree on the idea that they've been good at handling the situation and keeping us informed.

i always feel in the dark, i never know what's going on.. one moment something's happening out of the blue, next moment something else is going on... stuff is in patches that doesn't say so, stuff's out at the last moment. ping pong, chaos.

small twitter posts i don't think is a good solution, many people don't even use twitter for one thing and most of the discussion is very short and vague.

i'd like to see more interaction on the forums from the bioware staff.
