Possible Mass Effect MMO? Ray Muzyka CEO of Bioware Corp seems to think so.

OP, you seem to very emotional regarding either the success or failure of SwTor (a game i have not even touched).


Just out of curiosity (and being serious):

How much time have you spent hating on this game?
Was the time worth it?

It would be much less time you would waste on it if you heed her warnings.

This meaning, that he does all the hating, because he cares about the potentially wasted time of unknown people?

Interesting, not even my mom cared so much about my own time back then. I feel important now.

Bioware haters are fun, the magnificent Jim Sterling describes them well,

Quote:
It's becoming an annual circus that we all have free tickets to. A new BioWare game is released, and there's a catastrophic fallout of complaints, accusations, and histrionic rage. Some of it's ridiculous, some of it's justified, but all of it can prove entertaining for the spectators.


Thank god for Jim.

Hey, do you post this drivel on reddit, 4chan, ign.com, 1up.com, gamespot.com, shacknews.com, youtube.com, facebook.com, rottentomatoes.com, twitter.com, blogs, other forums etc?

How do you survive in today's society? With all opinion making, analyzing and speculation going on in the streets, on tv, on the internet and even around the dinner table???

Yes, you are important, so important that you bumped a thread I and others already left long ago Lol

Thanks!

Indeed, I read his post as "left for swtor" when it was "left swtor for" also there were a few mistakes in his post so I went and presumed he was a biodrone. Have a good day Skank!


PS: How many alts do you got?

"During the last six months of development, the team began a difficult triage process; where features that weren’t going to make it for launch were cut. All development heads were summoned to daily meetings at what Dallas dubbed ‘The Death Star’ – with each team being coached on what to cut, and what to keep. “Some developers cried,” explained Dallas. “I didn’t enjoy that.”"

"To grow, the TOR team were hiring relentlessly. Dallas explained that they would travel to game development schools around the US and offer the top ten percent of each graduating class a year long contract to work in Austin."

"To build the game, the team hired in stages; first building a structure they thought that would work, before laying on staff. At peak, the team size was staggering: 280 QA staff. 140 artists split evenly between internal and outsourced staff. 80 engineers and programmers, 75 designers, 40 platform engineers and 30 producers to manage the team’s workload and organise."

If interested read the full article, it does offer some good insights into the problems with developing SWTOR.

Today http://beta.xfire.com/games/swtor further dropping with only one server reaching status "heavy" in the EU.

SWTOR now marked as warhammer online with a Star Wars skin has now more problems to deal with after the failure of Mass Effect 3 and in general EA failing at every turn.



"It was a staggering insight into the development of what will surely be the last big subscription MMO."

It has about the same features and gameplay as WoW: The Burning Crusade, with worse raid bosses.
