We should call the iceberg "The Hepler".

I wanted to thanks all the players on /v/, who shared content and good laughs of the game.

for those who think there's going to be a rollback.

there WON'T BE

their Engine doesn't support Rollbacks.that's why they banned people for looting those containers.

so everything that people are doing right now"getting shitload of Valor points" is Permanent.i believe with those Valor Points they can buy Gear.also they nerfed an OP class and Overpowered another.this is not the full patch!!!

also it should give you a hint why Bioware is releasing a patch instead of rollingback.the patch is just going to fix the PVP and Valor bug.

i don't know about the Cancel Sub Button missing.

it probably crashed or EA had it pulled out.

i knew this was going to happen.the patch was only in PTR for 2 weeks.

this is how Bioware/Mythic works !!!

LOL!

Ladies and gentlemen... on January 19th, 2012 the gaming world witnessed a disastertastrophe the likes of which has never been seen. Bioware, aware that defeat was inevitable, spent their last moments deleting all visible access to the exits, and burning as many life boats as possible. Hundreds of thousands of branded biodrones were left to rot on a sinking ship, starved of essential gaming needs and wallowing in their own filth. A search team from the internet happened upon these pathetic and ghastly neckbeards shortly before the ship capsized-- which ultimately sank to the cold depths of the EA ocean. The crew has yet to be found. It is assumed they abandoned ship long before anyone noticed the water flooding up from the keel. There were no survivors. From the distance--a single, mocking voice could be heard: END OF RINE

Quote from a friend:

"Cancelled after a month. When it asked why, I picked "The game is not fun," and went on to explain why:

The game is too linear. While I enjoy the character stories across both factions, they are presented as a conveyor belt that I am chained to ride from one cutscene to the next. I'm being railroaded along a story TOR is telling for and at me, not me being allowed to make my own. I enjoy being told the story in movies, books, and even single-player RPGs, but it feels like a straightjacket in a MMORPG environment.The worlds feel like lifeless, sterile, and ,ultimately, non-interactive fishbowls. I can see sights painted on the background, but I can't go to them. Even as the worlds open up at later levels, this feeling remains. Like KotOR and Dragon Age, the hint of a bigger world is there, but you can't go off the designated path. In TOR, they feel like levels - the urban level, the desert level - and not actual worlds your character can visit and explore in Star Wars."

/v/ meme from Dragon Age 2. A user was banned from a game for being banned from the forums. A forum moderator said something like:

If you don't like it get out
END OF LINE
------------------
He was asian which turned into "End of rine, ding dong bannu!"

This has to be a photo shop.. I refuse to believe there is that much nazism

Is it a coincidence that this is happening just as they're about to charge for the next month?

Not being able to rollback their servers explains so much. It likely means they don't log shit, which is also why their CS sucks and their Indian call center reps just tell people to "durr, run the instance again" in regards to missing/lost items.

How they figured they could NOT have something as simple as a server rollback is beyond me.

>>125587517
Stanley Woo, a moderator, would post in threads he locked with the phrase "End of line." The phrase itself is from Tron, when a program would finish conversations by saying "End of line."

>>125587599

Don't forget, it wasn't just a removal of high-res textures, they also began to remote render models.

It's... almost as if Bioware's living in a separate dimension. A dimension in which Richard Garriot never released Ultima Online, Lineage never came out and MUDs were never invented.

>>125587782
For the last time.
I saw all of these threads. And I know you are calling the game "TORtanic" since some weeks ago.
But I skipped those threads because I didn't have any interest in this game.
Now I saw OP's first post and I thought "this can't be serious, they can't remove the cancel subscription button". So I opened this thread.
Now I just want to know all of the details behind this joke/meme/whatever.

Also the bioware forums isn't a "small image board" either.

"Biodrone" and "Bioware" should be switched.

idk if this game tanking would be good for PC fans of EA games...what if they decide to shun the PC because they had such a hard time with us?

It wasn't hidden at all, and I could just as well remove the billing account details.

Kotick is a monster who wants to "Take out all the fun of making video games", where as the EA CEO said that "Most video games are boring or too complicated, and game makers need to do more to appeal to casual players"

Seriously, it's exactly that:
>Captain Francesco Schettino told the coast guard the evacuation was nearly finished when it had barely started, according to the transcripts. He also claimed he was on the ship despite having escaped over rocks near where the liner had crashed and caught a taxi to take him away from the scene, according to two Italian newspapers.

You should get a subscription going, maybe a lifetime subscription if it's available. Totally worth it.
If, and I'm not saying you will, but IF you find any problems, this game has the best customer service for a MASSIVELY multiplayer game I've ever seen. Go take a peep in Ilum. It'll shimmer you blind.

EA is screwed. They have spent close to $500 million, even if 2m people bought this game. They are still only making 120m back. They need subs, they need subs bad.

And they STILL have to pay off Lucas for the rights. It will be years YEARS before EA starts pulling a profit on SWTOR
