EA's CEO preparing the field for Microtransactions inside Swtor

EA's CEO preparing the field for Microtransactions inside Swtor

In this Swtor statement, EA CEO John Riccitiello talks a lot about mmo Microtransactions and he mentions playing a game for 6 hours straight and having to pay 1 dollar just to re-clip your ammo (@24:40 of the presentation), should we be concerned at all?

These opinions sparked a Burst of 87 pages commentary in the darthsidious official web-site's forums masteryoda . The major problem with these statements is EA's CEO didn't clearly explain his thoughts of what Microtransactions he meant or if swtor will have Microtransactions.

There are many type of Microtransactions ,some of them affect player game ,some of them not.for example, items like special looking rings-earings ,dresses,mounts that do not give any extra stats, XP gain, etc and they are only cosmetics i don't think there is any gamer in the world that is against them.

But in other hand there are the items that do change stats, XP gain , fire power , armor defense .these items used a lot in free to play mmo games and they the reason that free to play many times cost more than these mmo with monthly fee.

As a veteran gamer i didn't support games that combine the two methods of microtransactions .It is a plain scam method to steal money from kids / stupid people that are innocents and i will wait to see EA's Responce on this EA's CEO statement that clarifies ceo thoughts.

Sorry EA and your president , you must choose between cosmetic micotransactions and monthly fee or free to play and miccotransactions that affect game experience ,and you must redefine your thoughts as soon as possible! x-wing

Any combination of these two situations will find us against you with what ever that means ...Even stop hosting this fansite and redirect all of our traffic to other mmo site or content.

P.M. I and my sister leia , the Light Side of the Force will fight against "Darkness" darthsidious even we loose our opportunity to play Swtor y-wing ( as you seen i enjoyed a lot our custom Star Wars smileys trap )

What ? No Cross-faction Chat in Retail Swtor ?

What ? No Cross-faction Chat in Retail Swtor ?

You've all watched Star Wars (well I hope you did..) I read a few developers posts about the cross-faction talk and the said that it's only enabled in the beta, and its highly likely that it will not be in the finished game.

When I heard about that it struck me, being that I'm a heavy PvPer ,i am also and a heavy socialize gamer that use the chat a lot . Maybe if it can be reconsidered being that Bioware/Lucasarts said they want to make this feel like a REAL star wars experience *, Cross-faction talk in swtor should be enabled. It would really add a sense of reality in the game, especially in PvP atmosphere inside the game.

It's used in everquest , and works wonderfully, and it is not used in Aion and that was a reason that pvp in aion sucks a lot ,because you can see that the enemy speaks but you can not read what he writes

Always ,in pvp games ,a bit of QQ chat is like the alas of pvp and many times the qq after pvp is the reason for the mmo gamers to try more to be better in pvp strategy (swtor = startegy Tongue ) , armor - weapons and levels

Although I know there are people who don't PVP at all, wouldn't it be easy to just have an option where cross-faction talk can be disabled in Tor due to various reasons of BAD LANGUAGE in cross-faction talk ?

*In every battle with lightsabers in star wras there was a QQ chat between star wars characters !!!!!!!

Discuss it.

Poll : Features you hope SwToR Borrows from other Games

Poll : Features you hope SwToR Borrows from other Games
All games that are great do it*. Borrow features that work from other great games in addition to innovating with some new ones of their own. Here's a few of the ones I'd pick:

1. WoW's scale. The first time I got out of the starter zone, I couldn't believe just how big the game was. It truly felt epic traveling to the other continent the first time. I hope they give this game that same sense of epic scale.

2. WARs group quest system. I loved it. The fist time I stumbled into troll country and jumped into an epic battle with a giant group of people was awesome and a total blast.

3. DDO's loot system. In my opinion, this game nailed the loot system. Each player gets their own loot table in the dungeons. You choose which items you want or need. Your in control of your own gear.

4. FPS's map/game type system - Most mmo's seem to follow the same basic pvp structure with few choices for game types. I hope ToR learns something from and evolves MMO PVP. Have capture the flag, last man standing, king of the hill, etc etc. I want my mmo pvp to be as fun and varied as my FPS pvp.

5. MYST Puzzles - Some really cool puzzles along the way would be nice, even if they are only for bonus items/credits/lore and not true barriers. Puzzles that require a group to complete would be cool as well.

6. Zelda (yeah I said it) exploration/easter eggs - Zelda was one of my favorite games from childhood. Once I found out you could, I remember blowing up tons of walls just to see if I could find hidden entrances or areas. Most MMOs have a straight line to objectives or instances without any true reason to explore. How cool would it be to be able to stumble into hidden caves, abandoned cities, crypts...etc etc.

So which features do you hope SwToR borrows from other games?

Excellent Thread from swtor community member ( xxfnordxx )

I want to supplement this thread with my desired features for swtor as a mmo game .you can vote in more than one choice .if you write your own features in a comment , i will put them in the poll.Unfortunately there is a limit of 20 choices by design.

My suggested features are :

1. Quests where player or players as a group must deal or avoid npc actions / movement / behavior or just deal with countdown timer to finish the quest.Lotro has many of them .i will call them in poll choise "smart" quests.

2. Large scale Race Vs Race battles. Come on Bioware we all have seen all the 6 Star Wars films and in every film there was at least on big battle.

3. Openworld free Boss fights ,like Lineage 2. Star wars lore main feature is the strong Competition between Old Republic and the Empire.

4. RVR space battles .it is ok for the launch the release date the tunnel single game space combat like old fashion game Starfox 64 but in the future will be fantastic if we will have a better and a larger interactive space battle against the other race ,like EVE but in faster motion Wink, you know ,someone must try to destroy our death star Tongue .

5. Player ladder for PvE and PvP content,better inside the game ,but a site is ok too.Darkfall has it inside the game , Aion, WoW has it in a site.

6. Meeting Events/Minigames between different Geographical Areas/Regions.this extend the feature No 4 of xxfnordxx. there is no reason at all to not have in a mmo game a mechanism where all the players of the game to meet its other.On aoc there was 2 different regions .usa and europe . i never pvped with a player from usa and i naver pvped a 6:00 in the morning ( after my work Tongue ) because all were at sleep this time in europe region.

i think ( a friend told me ) wow has implement something like that , i am not sure because i never played WOW Smile

* wow did it many times in the past Wink and 9 choices left to fill out the poll Smile

HURRY UP GUYS ,no registration required to poll it is a Free Poll !!!
