1: Lack of Communication
2: Lack of Unique Content


Both at the same time create an Extremely Deadly Combination.

Follow My List of Suggestions, Implement them, be creative, COMMUNICATE more with your Customers and the game shall succeed.

Only have so much time ya know. TOR maybe fun now...but what about a week or three from now? It also generates hype and keeps people excited and makes new people feel like they are missing out and need to go play.

Look at STO, like every five minutes they are putting some bit of info out.
Game could shut down at the end of the year, and I wouldn't regret my time played. I'll play as long as I'm enjoying myself, even if they're down to one server. Conversely, you couldn't pay me to play WoW.

If you base what MMO you're playing on what you think the future holds for it, you might as well give up on the genre...they're all going to be shut down eventually. Did you play SWG, and if so for how long? If you played for any length of time, did you regret the time you invested, or do you just look back and remember it fondly?

Can you not see how it's far more damaging to the longevity of the game to keep all of your customers in the dark about the future direction the game is hopefully going to go than it is to maybe anger some people who irrationally think a desire for a feature at some unspecified date is somehow a promise for a specific patch?

If you can't, then I submit that it's not us who are the problem with this game. This pathological need for secrecy on the part of the devs is what is going to kill this game if they don't get their act together. This is a game, not issues of national security. If they won't tell us what they hope to implement in the very near, near, and somewhat distant futures, they have no one but themselves to blame when their customers and gaming sites begin to question if there even is anything to implement, or even if they can. And they definitely have no one but themselves to blame when they can't seem to attract new customers in sufficient numbers to offset the ones who are leaving.

are you kidding? It would be far worse they player base would SCREAM that Bioware/EA Lied to them and start sending complaints to the BBB.

Remember what happend with the ME3 ending? Because of that the players voted Bioware/EA the worst company in the world worse then Bank of America and Haliburton. Yeah worse then a company that was found guilty of overcharging people and forclosed on millions of home owners as well as helped cause the housing bubble and another company that well do we really need to get into how evil Haliburton is?

You are right that this is just a game but people need to relax. If you are enjoying playing the game then just go and play it. If not then cancel it. Knowing the inner workings of Bioware isn't going to make my game play anymore enjoyable.

I do find it weird that people are freaking out over this but no one freaked out over Blizzard firing 500 employees this year and Universal trying to sell Blizzard. But a developer leaves Bioware and all of a sudden the sky is falling. There are a million reason why a producer might leave a game but most importantly its personal and none of your buisness.

People would see the milestone as a certainty even if it was only a planned event.

So basically any game company is darned if they do and darned if they don't.

But it would be helpful if they communitcated more .... I mean what happend they WERE doing so well?

Did the community team get laid off this week?
Have you noticed lately when a moderator responds to a post, they are not named, but have the term " CommunitySupport '? Maybe they are on vacation. Soaking up the sun on some beach, drinking some tropical paradise drink. Or maybe they cleaned house more than we think? And when did they take away our forum join dates showing on our avatars?

And does times somebody is saying something positive they are called fanboys and what else.

So why is my thread fail ?? You don't see same things that I see ??
So, instead of playing the game to improve your own gameplay, you come here to add to the negativity?

That is why this is a fail thread.

Why are people getting fired? It's called CORPORATE AMERICA! You know, that place where they put little value on talent, and mega value on skill less management.
If you return from a mission, with a kill on your record, .

Actually it is called making profits and rewards those who can do it for the companies. Only time this is not true sometimes is in politics.

Let me answer the OP's question for Bioware.

None of your business. Pay and play. Don't pay. Don't play. Stop asking questions to which you need not know and is none of your concern.

Or you can simply apply to the company work your way up and then get all the answers you feel you are entitled to.

Its not Bioware, its EA and their puppets. SWTOR was probably just a cash cow to help with them making a new Sims or Madden game.

OMG this makes sense! The Sims 3 is coming out with 2 expansions 2 months apart this fall, that's unheard of and never been done. And seeing as how SimCity is above SWTOR in terms of priorities, The Sims is above SimCity because it brings in more revenue. I think we solved the mystery!!
