What's really sad is watching a once-great company slowly going the way of all other companies that are swallowed up by EA. Bioware simply isn't ready for an MMO(or an RTS, for that matter) and the amount of talent and effort it will take to dig out of it is beyond them currently.
EA's stock is taking a hit today directly because of the SWTOR problems. It's not just a technical issue, but a project management issue, and closing the forums, denying people the ability to unsub, and their perceived inability to fix the latest round of problems brought on by their own patch, just smacks of panic on EA's part. This will destroy Bioware's credibility and will further damage a great IP.
I would like to see the stock, where can I see this?
Edit : On slicing, I noticed that slicing has been unnerfed now. I am once again making 4-6K credits. Which really at level 50 is nothing. I don't understand why slicing was nerfed in the first place. I am making a tonne more money from Underworld Trading and Diplomacy than slicing could ever provide.
The biggest mistake EA made was putting this game in an off the shelf game engine. I don't think this engine can handle large PVP battles (Ilum). The game or server chokes when everyone is using their abilities. They need to fix this.
This game has alot of issues, but I am /bugging every issue I run into. Its time consuming and frankly I feel like I am paying for the privilege of beta testing this game. I will keep up my sub as its something to play in between WoW raiding.
I have finished act 3 on my sith assassin, rolling a sith sorcerer now. Since I have seen the whole story I will just space bar all the way to 50 lol.
