I can tell u that there is absolutely no end game. Once u hit 50 there isn't much to do. I ended up pvping everyday till 1.2, at that point I got so much rage from playing the pointless game I quit.

Did they change the date? I thought it was suppose to kick off this Friday.

While I agree that exclusive content is not the right incentive in this case, I think your logic here is problematic as well. This bonus mission is not deemed to be part of the game by the designers, as evidenced by the fact that they don't intend to create it as part of the game right now. It's no more part of the game than any other mission created by anyone else using the toolset. It's simply a bonus mission that happens to be created by the developer because the funders kicked in enough extra money for them to do so. Your opinion that anything they do must be part of the game is just that, your opinion. You don't seem to have any real basis for your claim though.

Suddenly all those guys saying TOR could sink EA aren't that silly anymore. Since TOR was at least $100M in costs if not more (That ealuser's blog suddenly becomes even more reliable, he was spot on on TOR) like $300M, such a failure will hurt EA one way or another. You can't shrug off $300M as if they were nothing.

Wonder if this may mean Bioware will join that huge graveyard of devs EA killed after milking them to death. It won't be good for them this failure that's for sure.

The new star wars patch is a complete disaster, its so bad they gave everybody a free month.

Yep. They have a strange way of patching and communicating changes. I haven't played since January and just hopped on real quick to check what 1.2 was like last week only to find all of my skill points refunded for a respec. WTF?!?
How about a little notification about why this was deemed necessary? Maybe give a quick outline of any underlying class changes in the notice so I know what this is all about.
Or am I supposed to dig up the info on their forums (that are down for "maintenance" every time a shitstorm brews on the horizon)? Fuck off. I'm not digging up anything. You fuck with my build, you explain why.

What a bunch of hacks and amateurs...

BF3 sold over 3 million units on all platforms combined and apparently had the worst sales of any BF game on PC. Maybe the Origin link really hurt it on PC particularly with BC2 being on steam. EA really shot themselves in the foot with that stupidity.

You're getting the complete game. Think of this game sort of like Neverwinter Nights, where you had a main story, plus you had a robust mission editor to create new content. Now imagine an ad that says "preorder today and get an EXCLUSIVE BONUS MISSION by the creators of the game!"

How long till the US imposes sanctions on Canada for this heresy!?

I dont want to live in a country who's neighbors can just go un-checked and terrorism is allowed to prosper and flourish.

It's high time we kept those little bastards in check. President Romney won't allow for this kind of shit to go down on *his* watch.

This comment paid for by Romney/Kony 2012!

Has anyone else had problems with Offline mode lately? When my internet went down again, I tried putting Steam in offline mode, and the stupid thing said that "This operation cannot be completed in offline mode."

What, you mean turning ON offline mode? WTF?

Looking at Steam's support forum, it seems tons of people have the same issue, and of course Valve has yet to respond to a single one of the threads opened on the topic...

I'm just going to run it offline all the time, I guess. What's the point of offline mode if it doesn't fucking work when you need it??

The best they can do in Canada is EB fucking games? Whilst I love Anet, NCSoft has to be the worst publisher out there. They need to rid themselves of that particular albatross around their neck.

That albatross that paid 250 salaries for 5 years to make an MMO with half a dozen unique and untested mechanics? I'd say they could do worse.

Creston wrote on Apr 3, 2012, 01:35:
I may be remembering it wrong, but didn't this guy basically say that this Kickstart was solely to get enough money so he could build something to take to a publisher? If so, why the hell support that? I'm sure the publisher isn't going to fuck shit up at all.

the game he promised in his Kickstart's not going to get delivered once a publisher gets involved, and I'm somehow doubtful a publisher is going to honor $15 dollar pledges.

tl;dr - fuck publishers.

I'm sorry but when they compare COD to a tactical shooter they just show what a complete bunch of idiots they are.

You can NOT have a tactical game that runs on a console. END OF STORY.

Unfortunately this looks like it's too little too late, but at least they're learning their lesson. "Crowdsourced Hardcore Tactical Shooter" was a horrific name. The slick fancy branding and pretty pictures might've helped them gain more momentum early on. Then again those pictures look pretty crummy to me. I'm still 100% behind the idea of the game, though, and it's a shame that this project, at least, isn't looking like it'll see the light of day. There's always Ground Branch, I guess, which has been in development forever but which still seems to be going along.

It looked like a mainstream version of E.Y.E. If they got the PC version right without gimping it for consoles I would have gladly picked up a copy. Unfortunately we may never know. Thanks again, Bethesda!

I think this is the video he is referring to, it's the only video atm with an explorable dungeon run.

The only rezzes that can be seen there are fight to survive, player rezzes, and after death respawns at respawn points in the dungeon

In the video it's clearly pointed out that if you die inside an explorable dungeon, you can (almost instantly) respawn in the dungeon itself, at the last unlocked waypoint, and run back into a fight. They also state that encounters inside the dungeons are explicitly designed around this.

However, you do get damage to your items, and if all your items are damaged, you need to repair in town.

After seeing this, I wonder what use a resurrection orb is at all, perhaps other than to prevent one of your items being damaged.
