My logic sucks? you're the one who brought food into this.

Your trolling sucks

Knock it off.

No, you can criticize something, but when you say its a design flaw yet know nothing about design makes your point invalid.

Your logic sucks as well.

Therefore I revoke your right to criticize.

Problem is that constructive critism is something that has substance, discussion possible problem sides of both sides (for example pointing out both pvp gear is flawed and the system getting them meaning any solution that does not fix both of these issues will resolve in other issues) but most people are too busy just screaming when someone says "theres an issue" that your not suggesting how its supposed to be fixed. Most people don't want to tell those fixes becouse they will get critised and thats fine, they are not paid developers so why should they be forced to go trough it?
And yes solutions should be hinderenced before implementing and after implementing if they have issues. Thats usually how you end up fixing issues.
Fair enough. I can agree with the things you've said here. The issue with this thread was that in the original post those things weren't there, and more importantly the OP doesn't like a design choice. That's his view. I'm not saying it's wrong or right but it's just an opinion.

He isn't referring to a bug in game he is referring to how they made the game. Doesn't lime the choices bioware made. I do. Neither is right or wrong.

What the original poster is doing is the equivalent of me having chocolate ice cream, not liking it because I wanted vanilla, and then proceeding to complain to the company who made the chocolate ice cream that they did a bad job and should make vanilla. All the while I could have simply went and gotten vanilla.

I don't understand why the OP doesn't simply go nd get his vanilla somewhere else nd let the people who enjoy this swtor chocolate enjoy it.

Or in other words,

DERP.
Thats like saying "Our company is apart of NAMBLA, but we don't support pedophilia." You realize it doesn't work like that right?

DERP.

WHY does it supposedly take 200 hours to get to level 50, but it takes one night to clear all the end game content?
Maybe because Bioware is trying to shift the focus from endgame to actually having a game before that? Just maybe?


Also, did you clear the operations on Hard and Nightmare? Normal is equivalent to WoW's LFR (gimped) version, so yeah, I would expect those to be cleared in a night.

If something isn't working. Then there is a design flaw. Unless of course it with the companies GOAL to make something not work.

All Flashpoints are on Carrick Station. This is a bad thing according to you. The solution that would apparently make you happy is therefore to have all the Flashpoints in different places. Ok, so you can no longer shuttle from Fleet to flashpoints, but you have to go to the planet where the Droid that gives the mission is in your ship.

I'm not sure how running through Balmorra Spaceport for the 25th time is more fun than not doing it. And I've seen the cut scenes of my ship taking off and landing already. They are good cutscenes, but I don't need to see them again...twice...everytime I want to do a Flashpoint.

Game Launch 20th December. Eleven days ago. Huge population spike on 25th December (reason unknown, investigation continuing). Six days ago.

Today, now. No opposition on the Lvl 50 planet. Clearly a Bioware design fault. Take a breath and step away from the keyboard. See all those people pointing at you and laughing? They are the customers that need to be kept happy, not the 1/1,000,000th of the customer base that has 'finished the game'.

If you think your criticism is valid, you really do not understand Life, the Universe or Anything.

Sort of,

"I had to run down the ramp of the ship into instance. This is a DEVASTATING design flaw"

Not a design flaw the way you just said, because that is what they wanted. I believe there is a word for this, you know, when you say one thing then later 'forget' what you said or changed it, forgot the name O.O

If your apart of something that supports a bill then generally you support that bill. Its really rather simple.

For example, you think the word derp is funny so from that I can deduct that your a douche with no sense of humor. See, its easy!
