6 Weeks for new Content!

So, its the communities fault right? The community is the reason that this game went downhill fast. Ever stop to think that if you built a good game then people would support it? Other games can do features and content, at the same time. They do both with much better quality.....and guess what..... have not even half the staff or budget that ToR had.

Im sorry that you want to blame the consumers. Its not the consumers fault that EA/BW have ****** management and ****** developers.

The story is great.... mission accomplished. MMO it is not. If all they can do is story then they should have just made it an offline single player game. They would have made much more money.

^ This. Heck the features that they have had to stop everything and add in are features that most MMO's have at launch.

Nice one Fay, but Storm does have a point, they did write a pretty big check and missed on a little short of half. To Fay's point, Storm, 6 weeks is pretty a aggressive schedule. Frankly, given EA's ability to follow through on their commitments, I don't believe it for a New York second. But it does make those, who don't know any better, feel better about SWTOR. I'm here for the BioWare people who have toiled tirelessly, given the red tape and rediculous barriers set up by EA.

I salute you code monkeys! Keep up the fight!

Sorry just saw that and had to correct

This is a little cynical, but I think more correct than not. Don't expect things to be put out after the advertised content is released that match its quality and that of the 1-50 leveling. TOR will remain live online, for new players to experience 1-50 and purchase things in the cash shop, but there will be very little added that is up to par with what's in the game currently. BW simply doesn't have the staff allocated for it. The developers had their chance to make a great Star Wars MMO, but made more of an expanded KOTOR 3. It simply doesn't have the staying power of a real MMO.

Would you care to list the MMOs that have had group finder and UI Customization (of the level we got here or greater) at launch? It's actually pretty short.

Let's just take group finder:

WoW: No
EQ2: No
LotRO: No
SWG: No
DDO: Yes
GW2: No
AoC: No
Rift: No
TOR: No
TERA: Yes

So... out of 10 games listed here, with a wide range of release dates both Pre-and Post WoW LFG-tool... only 2 had LFG at launch... one on each side of WoW's implementation. Your assessment that "most MMO's have [these features] at launch" is incorrect. Yes, these features have become standard in modern MMOs, but they are not a standard launch feature.

The numbers are a bit better on UI customization, sure, and I will agree that should have been in at launch. That said, sometimes things have to be sacrificed in pre-launch development in order to minimize bugs and provide a clean(er) launch experience.

I'm tired of everyone saying content delivery is atrociously slow. Compare the amount of new content that has been added in the 9 months since launch to the amount of content Blizzard has added to WoW in the 21 months since Cata launch, and you'll see TOR isn't really that slow.

Would be nice if people would start looking at the facts, instead of making up these crazy accusations. I could make a political analogy here, but I'll refrain.

Sadly, with today's generation everyone wants everything now and for it to be easy to attain so that they can cry on the forums at how easy it is and ask for it to be harder and then cry over how hard it is.

MMO gaming in general has been run into the ground because of Publishers desire to make a quick buck and copy WoW's model or just to rush out a game before it's ready and milk whatever they can get.

Sounds like might watch something like that. Who would the love interest be?

I agree completely. Except about the crying. Everyone knows that only wimps cry!

I think that the decision to change the business model was made LOOOOONG ago and they were told to hold any major updates so they could release it in a way that looked like it was being made every 6 weeks. At least I hope they have stuff waiting in the wings ready to drop just at the point where people hit the unsub button and blamo theres 2 more operations to do heh i know i know pipe dreams..
