Star Wars: The Old Republic: Cancelled: ESL Operation Victory Competition

The ESL Operation Victory competition has been cancelled according to a new post on the Star Wars: The Old Republic site. The contest was designed for teams of players to race through operations in an effort to submit the best time to Bioware. However, issues cropped up in the Coratanni encounter that produced issues for those attempting to move through quickly. While tomorrow's patch will address some of the issues, the team felt that others remained that would render the competition problematic.

We thank you for your feedback around the contest and should we decide to do something like this in the future, we will let you know. Also, let us know your feedback on the concept of doing a speedrun contest. As we explore options like this in the future it would be great to know your thoughts.

    Lol, what went wrong ?

     

    Sounds like there were too many "issues" appearing with the speedrun attempts, so they cancelled the whole competition to avoid any further embarrassment ?

    The main boss battle is bugged for 4 months and they constantly fail to fix it. on top of it they managed to mess up something which is creating huge fps drop in 16 men instances, not to mention areas where more than 16 people are gathered. They decided to do 8 men run for that but still the failed to fix the boss bug. So then they cancel event to avoid further embarrassment just as you have stated. 

    Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

    Probably because the majority of speedruns are about using glitches and exploiting broken mechanics. It's normally not a smart idea to have a contest showcasing how broken your game really is.

    So well known design flaws that they've had since launch caused them to not be able to produce a contest in which players could win prizes to bring notice to their game?

    Who woulda thought that could ever happen in this title! GASP!

    This is why I unsubbed. I love Star Wars but got sick of how Bioware and EA treated the game. They just do the bare minimum in my opinion.

    I love this game very much. Favorite MMO of all time. But the performance and support is just abysmal. Had to uninstall last month after my high-end computer would no longer get good FPS post December patch. Many documented issues with this patch, but it looks like these issues are finally being noticed.

    Ya this is what mmos need: more reasons to rush through crap and demand specific team and class builds.
