Bioware, please don't keep secrets. We Don't want an NGE

Would you prefer to have a dentist who was educated to be a dentist, trained to do things even painful things, because it's sometimes necessary to do painful things to prevent worse things down the road...

or would you prefer a dentist who did it because it was fun?

They make the big bucks for a reason.

If you're unhappy with it, you should get a job with them and implement change!

Said every CEO who makes millions while his company goes bankrupt.


Far far away from my area of expertise.

Honestly, SWG was doomed from the start.

The reality is that the game felt like Star Wars dress up with integrated chat.

And there was no story to discover, nothing that made you feel like a hero. You watch star wars for the heroes. In Galaxies, you were essentially "just a guy". Its the one note BioWare took from SWG and learned from, which is why they shouted from the rooftops when the game was announced that they wanted everything you did to feel heroic and make you feel like you mattered in the galaxy.

Sandboxes nowadays are more of a novelty, unless a really good story is somehow integrated with it. SWG lacked that.

We're not talking about CEO's. Those folks are in the 7+ figure salary range. I agree, they are grossly overpaid. Besides, there are way more of them who make their shareholders money than there are whose companies go bankrupt. And, they didn't get to their position of power by making suggestions on forums. Typically they have an advanced education, paired with ambition, comittment, hard work, discipline, solid work ethic, and exceptional natural talent.

I agree with your premise, unfortunately, the world just doesn't work that way. I wish I knew all of the changes coming to the game too! But being realistic, I know that isn't going to happen.

This, QFT.

No one had a clue about the NGE or even that it was a thing , until they logged in to see the patcher.
NGE comparisons and this game are beyond old and tired.

Of all the people making six figures, it's very rare to find a corrupt one. That myth is just born because you only every hear about the corrupt CEOs.

sad part is that search was only by thread title. Also lamo at all the 1.2 is a NGE threads.

I haven't defended anything since returning, so your statement is false.

I've got some to add to your post Zion. This new x-pack is going to really polarize the community for good or for bad. The changes to everything and the non-existent OPS or PVP content (at least for the rest of 2015 according to Jeff Hickman) is going to split the player base. The raiders and PVP'ers are leaving and the RPG story guys are prolly gonna stick around for a bit.
If BW just came out and spilled the entire beans, people could then determine if they were gonna stay or un-sub and go. By dribbling out info, it keeps most hanging around sub wise until they confirm the stuff you don't like and then decide to bail out. This is a pure business decision, not a propaganda one. E3 is where everyone spills the beans and pimps out their new projects, it's the one time you sell you game with everything you got, not purposefully withhold most of the info, especially with a release date that's only a couple months away.
