To the Anonymous Insider

Hi, i currently work on the side for nasa. i would just like to inform you that in 1974 we were invited by aliens to a meeting in space, we had to build a space station as our atmosphere is deadly to them. All technological advances we have had since 1976 are a direct result of this alien race who i cannot name due to fear of my life so i cannot tell you my real name to prove who i am.

This is all soo true, honest im an insider.

ROFL! This is why the forums for this game can be more fun than playing the game. Thanks for the hearty chuckle.

Lol! Had to requote this again.

To give the so called "insider" any credibility requiring an answer is to miss the point altogether. It's like replying to a youtube comment: Might be fun... but it is of no relevance.

.

If they'd taken the best bits of SWG (and not the bad bits), a dash of the best bits for WAR (RvR and PvP mechanics) and the best bits of SWTOR, then they'd have had a truely astounding game.

I knew Skylab was just a front!

Never played SWG or WAR. But if they had added all the nice features of WoW and kept the nice features they have now for TOR, I know I would still be subbed. But this is all a bit like the old saying..." IF the dog had not stopped to take a crap, he would have caught the rabbit."

Nobody believed the insider when he gave point for point about the NGE before it was announced by SOE either. So yes. A precedent was set and could have a possibility of truth to it.

Yeah true.

However Bioware EA had people in it that worked on WAR, SWG (and KOTOR, of course). Just for some reason they didn't seem to use any SWG or WAR knowledge.

I was that Alien

Stranger things have happened

I've been here since march 2011, and seen some really cool things in beta that got changed because of the fanboy whining.

Beacuse of that whining, the stat system was dumbed down, the modding system was dumbed down, and people whining that they don't feel like they're progressing because nearly everything was moddable, we lost a ton of useful armor styles.

Because the wow pvp fanboy whining, we got expertise which ruined level 50 pvp.

Because of wow fanboy whining missing Dalaran, we got the fleet added late. Which killed planet traffic.

I'm not saying all BW did was bad, they did make some good changes. For the longest time they refused to link the taxi hubs, and you had to make one hop to the next. That's the only good change I can think of right now.

I predicted in the beta forums what was going to happen. They'd sell a ton of boxes/downloads, but they'd be merging servers 6 months after release. Contrary to what BW calls it, it was in effect a merger. The game wasn't ready for release, and still isn't.

The only reason I am still here is hope. I don't know how much longer I can hang on though.
