Bloggers fight against swtor....

[Dakia]

So...we're allowed to ignore SWTOR bashers if they're "famous" internet commentators, but we should listen to "famous" internet commentators if they bash WoW?

I love hypocrisy in the morning.

We're allowed to ignore them all. I know I do.

Well, considering quite a few famous youtubers out there are playing and praising the game, I think it would be wiser if people paid attention to those ones instead of criticism all day long. These are players who are doing great in the game PVP and PVE wise. Notice how they're performing great even with the bugs and inconveniences. Just imagine how good they'll actually be without the bugs. They play well because they can adapt with any situation.
Don't give me BS that people shouldn't adapt. Yes the bugs shouldn't exist, but if you're good enough, you'll always find a way around the bugs to be the best. If you cannot, then may God have mercy on your soul in real life.

Who said anything about WoW? Stop assuming everyone on the internet is the same person.

Blogs are just a rant on the bloggers opinion of a subject. If you take the opinion of a blogger as fact, you have no business in SWTOR

Bloggers are not writers, as much as they wish they could be.

[RoninaThorstone]

Have you noticed that? Famous MMO bloggers, like Tobold and Nils and others are flaming against swtor...I guess EA and Bioware didn't spent money to bloggers?

Today Tobold was bashing against swtor mutliplayer and among things he said that he take him too long to go to a flashpoint from the planet he is..while I get there in 5 min..(teleport to spaceport , get my ship and go to republic fleet....) and the worst of all he was whining that operation frames are too tiny and there is no option to make them larger!!!!

seriously now, I answer there in a polite manner and told him that I think he never even played the game, without using un-appropriate words..but guess what?my post never shown up in the list...

so lets say I am a new player and want to read about swtor..I open and read some famous blogs to bash some features of the game with huge lies and also hide from me the answers from people that actually played the game...

have you noticed the same thing? I was reading a lot tobold and Nils specifically but after this I will not even take them seriously again..

Haters gonna Hate
Lovers gonna Love
I dont even want none of the above...

A "Hearthstone" like to Fleet on a reasonable CD say 30mins would be a great addition to the game.

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed 18 hour CD is a tad too much.

@OP Never heard of these guys

[Eggoman]

Never heard of those bloggers.

Heck I'd trade out my 18 hour Fleet transport for an hour cooldown to get to my ship. Makes more sense AND I can just go anywhere I choose!

[Glorious Leader]

Who are these people? I mean if people who post on forums are a minority of people who play the game then game bloggers (who are negative as opposed to the ones with positive things to say) are a fraction of a minority of a minority. Seriously they are as inconsequential as you can get.

[Deleted]

They may be infamous but their opinion don't mean shit to me.

[Schmeebs]

Who are these bloggers? Never heard of them and I've been playing wow since release.

I guess I have never payed attention to any blog, but at least i've heard of people like totalbiscuit and the instance podcast people.

Attach the key fob and its 1 hour.

people get molly coddled by wow's easimode-ness that when they find themselves in a new MMO they bash everything for not being as easy and accessible for every assless monkey who buys it. They need to grow up and remember what MMOs are about, not zooming back and forth between opposite ends of the world in a split second. They made this wide open world for people to enjoy, not to completely avoid.

[Borzo]

The problem is that some people think that a particular upcoming video game will be the second coming of Christ. They're expecting salvation and a cause to devote themselves too.

And then when the game is out they realize... that it's just a video game. Usually they tend to get hostile and bitter and resentful as though they missed the Rapture or something.

The remainder of the complainers are just a part of the us-vs-them group... you know, like the Christians vs Muslims kind. One fights the other with fanatical religious fervor. I'm surprised EA hasn't gotten any explosives in the mail yet based on the kinda of hate people spew on some sites.

(Though to be fair, it's probably just a loud vocal minority, just like in the middle east.)

[melodramocracy]

I haven't noticed. I'm perfectly able to form my own opinion of a video game.

ToR is as much of a coddle fest as WoW in many ways, but yeah... I sort of laugh at some of the forum complaints about this game as well.

[PACOX]

People did the same thing with Rift. Its really pathetic. Not only does it make WoW players look bad but MMORPG players as well. This attitude of "you can only like what I like" is something for the school yard. Its why when a new game comes out the community tries to go "no WoW allowed" because its poison to the industry.

Who are these people any way?

I would buy you a beer if I could.

You mean like the fleetpass you can buy at the security vendor?

1Hour CD, takes you right to the fleet.

OT- Let them hate and complain all they want. The people playing the game are too busy enjoying it to care what some "famous" bloggers are posting. Btw, I've never heard of them either.

I had the same opionion but it isnt that bad. 30 min CD to a spaceport. 1 hour CD to fleet with an authenticater. Planets have shuttles to the fleet outside of the main city and spaceport. I dont advocate this but you also get ported to the fleet when booted from pvp.

[crittcann]

i dont know who you are talking about. but yeah swtor failed hard. so much potential and turned out to be a good single player game and a shit mmo.

Not sure why you say this, swtor hasn't failed yet. Competition is good, now GW2, that is gonna fail.
