What is going on BioWare ??

It is strange that so little has been coming from Bioware. Its like the days before the launch when all the fanbois said they don't owe us anything.

Now they want people to sub and yet there is still very little information, very little communication and very little happening in the game. Nothing wrong with the community team coming in and saying this is what we are working on, this is where we are and this is why you should keep subscribing.

Well after the job they done you were expecting geting Nobel prize for ..... of course they got sacked.

If you need to be convinced of this, you're either very new around here, or blind, deaf, and dumb.

Two options.

*edit*

I find it to be insanely humorous that all of the fanboys are convinced that the people who were fired were just dead weight that were causing the game to be terrible and that they needed to be fired to improve the game.

Yet, they are still somehow convinced that the game is perfect, needs no improvement, and doesn't deserve any of the criticism it takes.

How is it possible that these people did such a horrid job and they deserved to be fired if the game is so perfect at every angle? The math doesn't add up, I believe we forgot to carry a 1 somewhere.

One of the problems with all the mmorpg:s is that the companies (financers) dont really want to commit to any new things they promiced to the players. If they for example announced that next patch in 2 months will implement new tools x, and y which have certain functionalities and instance z which has n amount of bosses and some new mechanics then they would need to hire enough developers to make sure that they can implement all the things they promiced, even if they have some unforeseen problems.

Instead they have some (a lot) smaller amount of developers who wont talk much about that they will do in the future since any surprising problem will delay those plans, or even cancel them. Surely that is cheaper for the company since players have been taught that they cannot expect anything but vague promices and approximate timetables.

Dont get me wrong. I like SWTOR and other Bioware games. It is just kind of worrying to hear about all the layoffs, dropping player rates and so on, concidering that they really havent told us much what they are planning to release in the future. Do they even believe in the future of this game? Or does EA believe enough that they are willing to finance new stuff?

Expansions? Space? PVP? Bugfixes? New Operations? Guild stuff? Vanity stuff? Clothes? Hobbies? Exploring? Mini games? Achievements? etc...

This thread is hilarious. Thanks for a lunch time laughathon.

Forums are always filled with negative posts. People who enjoy the game are too busy playing it to sit on a forum and post negative comments.

Like 5 mins?

But, I agree. Lot's to do and what goes on here dosen't effect the game play much accept for tools that like to air forum laundry in General Chat ( Shadowlands the new whiner server ).

I'm not going to claim that I know everything that goes on behind Bioware's closed doors like many people I see on the forums. But I'd guess that Bioware is less concerned about getting into lengthy discussions on the forums and more concerned about actually working on issues with the game itself. Perhaps they just don't have enough people to spare a few to spend all day in the forums shootin the **** with everybody who thinks that there are catastrophic problems with the game (I ensure you, there are no catastrophic problems with the game). We've seen that one or two Bioware employees take the little time they can to pop in the forums every once in a while to read and let us know that they are there. and that's awesome.

See, I can speculate too. It's a two way street, and I prefer the glass half full approach.

I completely agree with this.

Except the fanboy part right?
