There are people who actually couldn't play today because they got stuck at the med center in Ilum. Yes, I know there's an exploit to get around that, but most people don't know about it. As far as I know, they're going to be stuck there until the patch tomorrow.

I've seen other games screw up and they usually give the players something OF ACTUAL VALUE, like a free day or two. It just speaks to the unmitigated GREED of this company that they think some silly title will keep someone who is on the fence or somehow make up for today.

An apology and a free day for Republic players, I say. And I'm Empire.

Is this a designated dance zone?

Guys! Seriously calm down, the press release says everything is just fine!

Seeing as the majority can't get in to the game, nobody can confirm or deny these reports.

oh and BW: LOL i'm already out!

Do the whiners not understand that bioware has different development teams...?

Artists don't code, coders don't handle PR... etc. Coders don't all work on one thing either. The coders can't all be tasked with "fixing" whatever it is people are whining about. It would be a mess. Do you expect every employee to tackle issues they have no expertise in? All teams stop what the are working on... artists should pitch in with coding maybe?

Joy another patch... a medal and a title isn't going to make up for it. Get the core mechanics right, balance the mirror class abilities properly! Fix ability lag or at least acknowledge the problems and comment what you are doing to address them.

Its like buying a product that has intermitant failures or doesn't do what it is supposed to do and when you complain to the vendor they say... well we will take it away to fix issues you weren't as worried about and if you are still paying to use it in 3 months we will give you a shiny sticker to put on it.

BW will need to pick up there game and community engagement there is a lot of competition coming out this year. Its not like BW hasn't put out great games before its more a case of they need to fire the project and community engagement managers for being arrogant and incompetant and hire someone who at the very least has a passion for putting out a good and polished product. Someone that cares about customers not making the biggest profit margin. You are better off making slightly less money and keeping your good name in tact than giving share holders and investors another 0.01% dividends.

Pay attention to your customers, stop being so arrogant in thinking a shiny ball will distract us from a half tested product. Heads of certain teams should be sacked, the guy responsible for making sure mirror classes functioned as mirrors for a start. Glaring differences like cd's for mirror classes not being balanced and animation issues should never have made it through to the live versions. Its not a small oversight and it is obvious.

Please communicate with the community about how you are addressing issues such as faction imbalance, mirror class differences and ability delays rather than throwing useless titles and shiny medals at us. Most of us our not under the age of 10 and not distracted by shiny things.

Any chance you'll expand this to those of us who joined in the first 1 month later?

This is what I think: http://i.imgur.com/0YWlK.jpg

Bioware, it is time for you to stop treat all your fans like 6 years kids.
Most people are not stupid unless they are brain damaged, and if you treat everyone like they are brain dead, then this is an insult to the player base with higher IQ then average.

If you want to continue on your work, starts show your fans respect even if they are idiots, because they are the one that can supports your work.

Stop making dumped down RPG games even if you can make more money by focusing on mainstream. But in return you will get dumped down fans.
Learn from the best, not from the worst
Stop ******** your fans, show them respect no matter what.

This is all i can say to you.

Goodluck.

And no one handles community relations, apparently.

Seriously. No one responds to threads like

http://www.swtor.com/community/showt...81#post1831081

Plenty of time to delete posts, not a second to find someone to say something about the topic one way or another. On and on. The dev tracker is extremely sparse. Barely 20 posts a day, and that's counting the multi-lingual announcements.

One month in, that's pretty shoddy.
