Dragon Age 3 Devs moved to SWTOR.

Rumors. Even if Bioware stated this, I'd doubt it's truthfulness.

I'd believe it just because these guys are so far behind on what's needed for this game.

Well, they're not pulling from their on-line teams, and from a game that to my knowledge doesn't use the Hero Engine. So they're probably not being moved to work on the engine, high level design of struggling systems (like PvP), or getting their quality of life utilities pushed out faster (e.g. the LFG tool, et al).

So if I was a betting man I'd guess that they've cannibalized artists and other asset people. This could be a good thing, because it means they already have solid plans for where they're going and just need extra muscle to implement it.

A wash for me: I've already cancelled since the LFG tool won't include a cross-server queue, and Dragon Age 2 was just a miserable excuse for a game so I won't even be bothering with the third installment.

DA has nothing to do with SWTOR. Programmers follow direction. They did what they were told to do on another game. They will follow direction on SWTOR as well. The key is whether the leads know what they are doing.

From what we have seen so far, I'm going to take a wild guess and say.... no. They are blatantly ignoring what we're saying, unless you're lucky and get a copy-paste message when they close the thread, and they haven't even made a sound to show us that they are even still alive. For all we know the entire SWTOR team, besides community managers, could have died in a horrible bus accident.

Good news indeed, more quality developers will speed things up drastically in regard of making new content and fixing current problems.

HA!?? What!!??.

What games can you name that have the same patch fix fix fix fix every update merry go round as Swtor ?

I realize, for what ever reason you are a fan of this game but you need to stop applying for the damage control P.R. CEO position.

I'm sure they have a stack of applications that they sift through when one of them starts pulling out his hair and mumbling" I should have stayed with Mythic and it's hugely successful Warhammer franchise".

One last though. Lose the purple or are you Royalty ?

The "real" pvpers left?

You mean the ones that got tons of valor zerging Ilum and holding players hostage in their town?

Ilum in itself was a clear sign something was wrong with the PvP because the whole concept of Ilum was bad. "Real" pvpers didn't like Ilum. It was just a zerg and spam fest that benefited Empire on most servers.

I assume that all the "real" pvpers were playing Empire too?

Moving on...

SWTOR PvP is terrible.

Bioware said before the game even launched they weren't focusing on PvP and I knew it would turn out bad.

But I didn't think it would be the way it is now.

Creating things like Ilum could have been done so simple yet they did it so wrong. And the only time they listen to players is when it becomes a viral problem media wise. Since most changes to the game do not get reported until it backfires, Bioware goes ahead with their horrible ideas that people warned them about in 100s of post.

The Ilum crapfest patch was the most obvious and was proof Bioware has no clue about MMOs or MMO players.

Even the armaments thing was stupid and grindy.

No. Real PvPers did not like Ilum because real PvPers already knew SWTOR PvP was terrible to begin with.

Real PvPers didn't quit... just the ones that thought zerging was "skill".

Being good at mmo pvp is like being good at the recorder you played in primary school.
