I didn't make excuses for it. I said they are aware that the UI is lacking and they are working on it. That's not an excuse for anything.

Here you go. Group content. Tell me how it is lacking. Go.

Oh, don't forget all of the gamers that were clamoring for its release and complaining about having to wait so long. I'd like to see you manage the development of a a fully voice acted MMO with the kind of expectations that come along with the Star Wars name. If you don't like it, feel free to leave and never come back.
Alpha/closed beta have been way before, don't fool your self.
The public one was later and these issues have been brought up long before.


As you said it's the most expensive game ever made yet for a MMO it lacks basic features that other MMO's with a quarter of the budget managed to put in game.

-Customizable
- Uses an horrible engine
-Combat log
-Chat bubbles
- High resolution pack
-Tons of game breaking bugs
- Proper EU maintenance times +server location

But hey at least it's fully voice acted and has space combat.

Do I know how to program games better, no I don't.
Can I point out the obvious stupid mistakes a company with so much money should not make after a marker research, sure.

We all know how well EA handled Warhammer.

We estimate that it will take us at least 5 more months of internal testing to get it perfect. Or we could release it now in near perfect condition and use the data from millions of subscribers to help squash these bugs. In the end, we'll be done in half the time and you'll get to play the nearly finished produck 6 months earlier, what would you rather we did"

Do you really expect ANYONE on these or any other forums to believe that you would have told us to wait? When you play an MMO at launch, you know(or should if you aren't retarded) that every MMO in history is released as soon as possible and that they are never quite done. Therefore by buying it week one you are agreeing to deal with these bugs until they are gone. It's that simple now stop whining and go play WoW it's virtually bug free.
So the marketing clearly stated that the game was really bugged. You can read on the box in fine print.... This game is riddled with bugs and you agree to pay a monthly fee and deal with it. Also if your unlucky enough to have severe lag issues. If it prevents you from playing just keep subscribing we will address in the near future.

Hmm 4 man tank and spank content until you change the difficulty.. Where you can use pets in the place of real people and it doesnt even matter.. Yeah other MMORPGs have done it better.. No real tactics or startegy needed until you put it on harder difficulty.. 4 man and 16man raids is dumbed down to the norm.. And its even easier than other EZmode MMORPGs.. Its barebones with no real thought put into it.. They put no though into the clases themselves. Its the holy trinity with tanks, healers, and DPS.. its standard MMO group content.. They didnt try anything new.. its bare-bones...

Have you done any flashpoints past the first one? Seriously? The end boss of Hammer is a tank and spank? Right. The end boss of Athiss is a tank and spank? Right. The end boss of Mandalorian Raiders is a tank and spank? Sure. The end boss of Cadamimu is a tank and spank? Sure is.

/sarcasm

I think you can see where this is going.

You might get away with using one companion in a flashpoint at level, MAYBE, but you aren't going to 2-man a flashpoint at level, sorry. Unless you're talking about Esseles/Black Talon, in which case it was DESIGNED to be that way.

No rage or anything like that.

Just cancelled my subscription, this is of no real interest to the people who enjoy this game.

Little more then a message to the "mad" players.

Don't get mad, get even.

Its totally fine to not like this game, don't rant, don't troll just cancel your sub and be done with it.

1st of all people need to learn what publishers actually do because you don't have ANY idea. They are not developers, I know I used to work for a major publisher.

I've had no game breaking bugs and I'm 35.
UI mods are nice but it's hardly game breaking.
Chat bubbles are obnoxious. They belong in the cutesy anime rpgs but not here.
I'll take some higher resolutions but the game does look nice.
Engine is fine, upgrade your computer.
