B-but guys TOR going free to play means more people will get to play it! Which means it will only get more players!

> Turbine makes money hand over fist now.

Turbine also had games that are somewhat fun to work with and they had months of preparations before using a relatively thought out cashstore. They also INCREASED their update and content frequency.

EA/Bio already lost on the first two points, and doubt they will be getting better with the rest.

oh god, all the limitations on Free to play people is hilarious

>all the limitations on Free to play people is hilarious

From what I saw, they are still doing it wrong.

Those are limitation for actual MMO games.. but trust me if you play it for a while, it is not worth SHIT as an MMO.
If you play it at all, you end up playing it like a mass effect/kotor unless you are masochistic.

This entire thing makes me glad I bought SW:TOR. I bought it because I'm filthy rich and was expecting a mediocre RPG leveling 1-50, then nothing, and that's what it was.

But now... This box is a relic, it's a physical reminder of when EA fell, and what killed it. I'm going to put that box above my bed, and I'm going to look at that box every morning, and I will remember Goldman.

>>149261417
Maybe. But it's a defeat.

Going F2P is what MMOs do when they can no longer sustain themselves.

Komm, süsser Tod :3

this game is P2W piece of shit.

to unlock new content and being able to level up to 50+ you need to pay.

i love how the SWtor forums is going nuts.
they think SWtor has 500K+ subs.EA blotted those numbers with the trial accounts.

some of them are pissed because EA called it a "miss".

i don't know why anyone would still be playing this game.the new "content" are going to be content packs that you need to pay.

pay for s sub fee right now makes no sense.

>F2P this fall

i hope GW2 and MoP sinks the ship even more before it goes F2P.

So now that it's going F2P...

What's the griefing potential of this game?

>>149271382
Actually, F2P in LESS than a year.

Glorious.

Ok, /v/, so

Now it's F2P

Who intends to play it?

I remember that when it came out a lot of people (including me) said "I'll wait for it to be F2P". Now it's the time, then?

I heard TORtanic fries ATI cards. Is that true?

>>149271548

I have no interest in this pile of shit whatsoever.

>>149271415

I said 6 months to go F2P when the game was released, it has been about 8 months.

So I say... 2-3 months after they start free to play.

Just reading the forums I feel dirty...

Why is /v/ so autistic? There's a reason why your threads keep getting deleted, they are not about videogames and they promote shitposting.

Listen, no one is forcing you to buy their game, and people seem to be having fun on the forums, so why not let them be? Some people enjoy the game so here's an idea: stop trolling the forums, you come off as some autistic loser like those people protesting the Chick-A-Fil establishment, I bet you're all manchildren wearing nothing but trousers with vertical skidmarks all day complaining about things you don't care at all.

It's just like the people complaining about the lack of same sex marriage on the game, they don't play the game but they still want to have their way.

Congratulations for being as obnoxious as some faggot with hypersexuality, mouthbreathers.

>What's the griefing potential of this game?

Healing/buffing enemies and dragging high-level mobs to 'safe' areas were complained about in forum. We'll figure out more, i bet.

How about a /v/ irc channel or steam group for tor? Does a popular one already exist?

What happened in 2008?

I found TOR's #1 fan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySdW0S5Gljc

I was on the TOR forums for over 3 years and played in a few of the beta weekends, then at launch I knew the game was going to be shit and I never bought it.

FUCKING GLORIOUS, I hope BioWare is killed off and EA absorbs them completely. Fucking BioWare, you used to be a good dev team now you're just a rotting husk of casual pieces of shit.

This is a great day for /v/

How much do you want to bet they'll fuck this shit up as well.

I can't wait till the cash shop empties somebody's bank account or something.

You should be thankful you entitled hatedrone

Just look at all this beautiful sea life I'd pay $30 per month just for this

>>149276332

Wouldn't be the first time. People were being charged over 30 times in one month at one point in Warhammer. Some family lost their electricity because they lost their money. Someone in the house had to live on a respirator. You can see where this is going.

EA is a murderer.

So far EA and Bioware have been more entertaining than any game this year.

They went and fucking died from anal bleeding, like everything else good and decent in gaming.

>>149276651

They all faded in to the past, monuments of how a game should be.
