  1. I sure as heck haven't pre-ordered Makeb and I actually canceled my sub with the info that has come out. No word on SGRA, No class storys, one planet and it more of an excuse for more bad PvP design than anything, nothing good in this expansion and I for one refuse to encourage this kind of behavior from Bioware EA. I love the story of theis game and really hope they can Hickman before he completely runs it into the ground but none of what made this game great is a priority for the devs at this point. I certainly think it is pre-mature to pre-order makeb with no word on SGRA or how it will be implemented. Even if you do miss out on the sale the fact is that they are sitting smuggly silent on issues they shoudl be discussing and counting on blind hope getting people to open the wallet as long as that is true they will continue the same bad behavior. It is time to take the rolled up newspaper non-payment to this dog of a game.
  2. One Planet worth of story content doesn't cut it. I'd pay far more if htey made class stories continue but as it stands between the lies and complete bungling of their entire F2P/Cash Shop management I'm not willing to give them more of my money. If they release Chapter four or new companion content maybe I'll buy it, but frankly I'll likely have moved on by then. I have till next month left on my Sub then I'm done F2P even as preffered is too restricted for me to bother with (I have too many active characters to handle 2 slots) EA may think a set of planet quests (that given past level 50+ content is going to be basically the same for both sides) is story content. It isn't it's clearly them taking a finished FREE update and trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of it. EA's blatantly mercenary management of the cash shop and everything SW:TOR and gutting of pretty much all real talent from the studio makes clear exactly where this game is headed. I don't want to follow them down that septic hole.
  3. Unsubbed yesterday 1) Bioware/EA's disturbing trend towards misinformation and outright lies in it's communication with the playerbase. 2) Lack of class story content in Makeb "expansion". I feel it shows a clear disregard for the players who have stuck by SW:TOR for it's story. 3) Forum moderation moving from a position of curation to PR. Too many posts and threads full of reasonable points well stated removed due to being critical of designers and publisher. 4) Silence on issues important to me such as SGR's, New Companions, New Races, Story Content. 5) No one I know still plays or came back with free to play due to the bungling of the free to play model.
  4. :sideeyes ME3: Oh yea that's what we need more of ...
  5. this so much this. EA you have as expected lost the so called "hardcores" Stop trying to cater to them they are not a sustainable customer base. The story of this game is what keeps people paying subs and playing. Not more of the same junk as in every other MMO out there. This is just depressing.
  6. Non-issue due to Kira = Lamesauce, T7 +Jedi = save the galaxy.
  7. With the @hallhood 's tweet as well as some of the responses we've gotten elsewhere (GLAAD etc) it really sounds to me like this mos more of the kinda standard EA/Bioware blackout on features that are not fixed in timeline or system. I know during Beta and prior they were very very closed mouth about anything they were doing until it was basically ready for release or at least test/demo. So with SGR I would guess they are either uncertain where in the timeline it'll fall or uncertain of how it will be implemented. The fact that no one has popped in to say "Oh yea it's still on our scheduled but we don't have a firm release window" is a little odd though. Dependent how EA the office has gone at this point they ma just be muzzled form admitting such a 'minor' feature has dropped from the schedule. gotta have more time to make ugly holiday junk to sell on the cartel market after all.
  8. Gamestops trashy promo mag has low editorial quality!?! Say it ain't so!
  9. Writer has a complete misunderstanding of what hte point of this F2P model is all about. It isn't made to be played for free it's made to be played ala carte. Will that pan out? it's yet to be seen. However the design is that rather than following the traditional F2P model of attract a few heavy paying "whales" to pay hundreds a month or more on exclusive items and content they are trying to reach out to those players who dropped the game after starting and offering them the option of paying just for what they want. Don't PvP don't buy it. Don't raid? Don't buy it. The idea that they should provide the entire game for free then just charge for random vanity garbage is a pipe dream.
  10. I can see it now. "Buy the Rainbow Cartel pack and gain access to all same gender romance arcs plus a single use glitter bomb! Only 1200 cartel coins!" /me rolls eyes It really is sad but I can imagine that being the next we hear about SGR. Worse though I think if that were the case the chances of it being released soon would be much higher.
  11. For some people it isn't a persona I kinda assume you're not big on the storylines/romance int eh game as it stand but if you can imagine being so and the only people you were allowed to romance were the gender you don't personally have interest in? Would kinda detract from something that you otherwise would enjoy. As for things that were done months ago if you feel strongly about it make a thread rant and rave etc... Even say you want to see that feature before SGR as it's of more value to you. that's perfectly fair. I wan't SGR there are some things I'd rather they do first anyway but I complain about those in appropriate treads as well.
  12. More information would be nice but frankly with all the restructuring going on I can kinda understand why it hasn't been brought up. Doing SGR right is time intensive. I think most of the writing was probably don but it all has to be polished then approved then sent to Lucas arts for VO then cut-scenes need to be made and tested. Considering that at the very least they need to do this for two companions for each class (and really would be nice if it was 2-3 for parity with OGR) that's at least 16 romance arcs that need to be constructed, implemented and tested. It's time consuming particularly the VO portion which requires Lucas Arts to scheduled the actors and if it is using preexisting companions get the same actors back for more VO. New SGR companions need not only romance arcs but full companions stories and insertion into the main storyline (or to be made available via cartel?) regardless they then need to also have dialog for the class story some world story scenes and affection gain/loss for all conversations established. all in all it's a huge amount of time needed and not alot of it can be paralleled. Writing comes first then editing and approval, then cutscenes are animated then they have to bring in VO actors to do the lines then they all have to be tested and put together. It is entirely possible that they are working on it but have no dates because so many things could slow it down still and with the move to free to play who knows if they had to rework this to cartel content or what.
  13. Can't stand her. Way too much "I'm a rebelous rebel who rebels!" Also she is in the way of the OTP robosexual love with T7
  14. My take is that there are some companions that are pretty well defined as being straight in some conversation options. Of course without an appropriate gendered person for them to open up to about it you won't encounter that dialog and therefore it is questionable what their sexuality is. From a purely speculative front I can say Corso at the very least has a "gay for you" kinda vibe as written so making him Bi would make sense. Some characters do reference other escapades or even have them whilst you ignore them defining that they are in fact interested in a specific gender though not necessarily disinterested in the other. Kira seems to me to be more interested in tweaking the orders nose about the whole no attachment thing than any specific gender though I hope for all the lesbians sake they don't make her swing that way as no one deserves that obnoxious lost puppy thing male female gay or straight.
