I don't know why more people aren't concerned about the lack of hard information.
Probably because we have a full year to go? The more information is released, the more player hype will be generated. Right now all we have is pointless speculation. General consensus is that too much hype is bad, so why do you want it?
If the game was to launch in the next 3 months and we had the amount of info we do now, I'd be concerned.

A year is really very little time considering what we don't know about this project.

True but a 3 page article and 4 videos could answer most if not all of them. They could put all that out in a day
People need to get off the WoW kick, this game isn't meant to dethrown that horrible thing they call a game. The story blows and the graphics are to cheesy. I do not understand why all the morons come out in force and say crap like this will never be a wow killer or look at wow and use some things from there. To many closed mind dumbasses and thats why mmo's suffer.
Anyways, E3 is around the corner and I bet Bioware will release more information so its pointless to start bashing. it's still in development and things can still be changed, just have faith. I have yet to play a bioware game that failed to live up to its hype. I have my own concerns about this game but its still to early to judge based on what little we know.
the cloning of WOW with a different theme was so 5 years ago.
Give me a sandbox, not koto CO -OP with a 15 dollar sub.
Thanks but no Thanks, Bioware in for a rude awakening when it comes to the mmorpg crowd imo.
Yea because every one wants a new sandbox game, O wait thats only a small minority that no one cares about, if you want to sell a game your going to want to make a real game and not some side show where people can make buildings in the middle of Hoth.
Every time this game has a new article in MMORPG.com that stupid crowd that are still pining away for the glory years of the old SWO need to get over themselves, its not coming back let it go. Also you are not a unique snow flake and the world does not revolve around you to the point where a game needs to be tailored towards your liking.
I just want to torch little rebels with flame throwers and kick some droids around. Screw swords and shields I want some fking lasers!
On a serious note, I just hope they listen to the community. Even if the game isn't realeased with all the bells and whistles we want hopefully they'll hear the voices of the fans.
Ive been watching this game and awaiting its release since it was first mentioned. LOL, wow this article was this biggest bummer for me. I cant believe mythic owns bioware now... total bummer. Mythic is horrible imo, so the chances of me actually even trying this game now are extremely slim. This just ruined my year, rofl. Nothing to look forward to anymore.
Damn this game is out already? I didnt know... /sarcasm off
Many of these posts talk about what is and isnt in the game like they have played the damn thing, you guys need to give it a rest for at least 6 more months before the dust even begins to settle enough and some folks maybe start to beta it. When you beta this thing, or a friend does, then pass judgement.
I don't know why more people aren't concerned about the lack of hard information.
I've already seen your first reply to this, so I'll try and hit them both in one shot. You're saying we should be concerned about a lack of game-play information coming out. Regardless of it being a year (or more) away from release.
Fine, I'll give it more thought. Now have you thought about how Bioware normally handles PR as well as LA? If they had their way we probably wouldn't know exactly as much as we do. Remember who broke the silence? Twice now, on issues, neither company seemed ready to talk about.
They most likely have a plan in place, as far as PR goes. Which if they do, you can expect them to stick as closely to it as possible. Big reveals are left for the showroom floor, rarely are they just given to the public, at least when we're talking about the present industry.
Everything you want to know about would be considered a big reveal. Crafting, Space combat, Questing system, etc..... That's what E3, etc., etc, etc... are for (today).
Don't expect to learn much before or inbetween trade shows, the most you can hope for are a few (guided) hands on experiences given out by the press. Even then most of the time, you won't see those when there are no expo's going on, or if TOR isn't on display.
This is where my mind is. Going back to thinking about "when will we know", is kind of taking a few steps back for me.

Well for all the PvP zealots out there, it IS acknowledged by BioWare that there will be PvE specific servers. So you can all have your zergfests be carebear free. As for the details, be patient young Jedi.
To answer some of the questions posed by the article, I'm really anxious to see more details on the playable races. I do hope that will emerge from E3. I would like to see more vid clips/screenshots from the game itself vs. more webisodes. Obviously whatever game mechanics are mostly cooked at this point, dribbling out more details would also be welcomed.
The community on this web site has degraded into something similar to WoW's /2 its full of trolls, flamers and sandbox cry babies that will never be happy playing games. I am looking foward to swtor i could care less in fact i hope that all of you people that constantly cry and flame stay the hell away from it. I find it pathetic that all most of you people can do is flame or derail every thread with your crap. There are very few people left on this web site that have anything to say that has any substance and discussion rarely exsists. No wonder the community in most MMO's is terrible.
So SO True.
I myself hope that not much more content is released regarding the actual game mechanics, until release. If they could avoid a Beta even better. The game can then live and die by reputation alone and not the drivel I am seeing here.
The quality of the background content coming from the SWTOR team is excelent , and shows a lot of dedication and professionalism. Maybe we will get a game world with some content and longevity , with end game years down the line.
I agree i like that instead of hyping the crap out of the game that they are concentrating on laying the foundation for a good story but i expected this from Bioware. They have put out solid games granted this is their first venture into an MMO but i trust them to do the right thing and put out a game that is fun and complete. Hopefully they continue to do what they are doing and concentrate on the important stuff instead of usless trailers and screenshots.
I find it pathetic that all most of you people can do is flame or derail every thread with your crap.
Yeah! They derail the "yay this game will rock no matter what even though I've no clue how it will really turn out" threads into "meh this game will suck no matter what even though I've no clue how it will really turn out" threads.
Hypocrite much? You obviously have no problem when people praise the game without any basis but oh boy when they criticize it for the same reasons then it's annoying.
Your Einstein quote is very fitting.
Do you even know the definition of hypocrite? The very first post in this thread has nothing to do with discussing the article just another sandbox troll that cant contribute anything besides "me want sandbox all else sux lawlerskates". This thread wasnt started by a member of this forum saying SWToR was going to be the greatest game ever and nowhere in my post did I support the claim that it was going to be either nor did i say it would fail and the world of gaming would collapse. It was in responce to people like you that select a single line out of a post to attempt to make yourself seem smart and superior when you fall into the same category of retard as the rest of the trolls here. The least you trolls can do is keep in the context of the thread. I do have a problem with both blind hype and blind hate neither makes sense, i base my opinions and decisions on weather to like a game based on the available information and the company producing it's track record for game quality. You fail and my Einstein quote is very fitting for you.
Wow... some of you are so negative. Its really not healthy. How about giving Bioware at least a chance to succeed before automatically assuming they are going to screw it up??
Everything I have seen and read about this game leads me to believe that it will be a very good MMO, but I obviously don't know the future. No one does... Just give them a chance and try not t be so negative people!

I hope to see you complain about people who praise the game without any basis in the future, then.
Somehow I doubt I will though.
Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

Does the game come with a straw...or a pipe? I love me some opiates.
It's better to lurk in forums and be thought a fool...than to endlessly "Quote" and remove all doubts.

So where do we get the opiates again?

If it means less ignorant gamers who use flaming labels like "carebear" then I am game for it.

great, im feeling great
I think alot of you sound like scorned women........
How can you flame a game when its far from release?
Honestly if you want wow (total crap since it launched) go to those forums and praise blizzard.
This game will be different, and thats my op, but why always so negitive on these forums.....
I paid for my opiates
Damn this game is out already? I didnt know... /sarcasm off

I'll take my opiates intravenously ...with a patient-controlled pump, please! ;D
All the people who dont think this will be a sucess are so fucking stupid :bowrofl:
Bioware... always great
This will be too. The classes were designed with pvp in mind!!!!!!
success lollllllllll
Well even if the game is rubbish, the lore and comic sound like they are worth a look.
May the hype be with you.
We continue to wait and wait and wait, for release of this game. Question is, how much longer will we wait?
AT LEAST another year. Good luck with that wait.
