They created an end game goal (level 50 valor rank 60), and it took power gamers a month to reach this goal.
Then they released their first patch, and let everyone get to rank 60 in a day or two instead.
It is totally retarded that rank 60 was attainable in the first month, and it is even more ridiculous that anyone can do it in a few days of standing at 3 FPS absorbing random valor in zerg vs zerg fights.

I thought there may have been something wrong with the patch yesterday. I was crashing not to a blue screen, but to shutting my computer down. I'm still enjoying the game. It is a lot of fun for me at lvl 36.

It's still boring. My one month sub just ran out. I played up to 42, and it actually wasn't too bad to level one up to that level, the experience is generally fun. But for what? What purpose is there to reach max level?

Can anyone give me a brief summary about the issues with swtor? I have read a single thread, but I am interested in knowing how BW screwed the pooch.
Is it simply power gamers hitting level cap too quickly and patch screw ups that allowed tweakers to lvl too fast?

Only "great" thing about APB is the fact you can play dress up in that game...other than that it's just half arsed third person shooter that just happens to cater to emos and metrosexuals.

Read the link I linked. I think it was a little inaccurate but not too inaccurate. Patch 1.1 caused 500 imperial people to descend on the republic spawn point on ilum and camp them 24/7 for 8 hours because the rewards for doing so were 10x the rewards for doing real pvp.
The response on the forums was so overwhelmingly negative they had to disable posting on them.

Yeah, that patch was bad for Ilum (the pvp planet).
If you are anything of a serious gamer, the game is so easy, that yeah, you can see everything in the game within the first month of play. There is zero need for a revolving sub for the game.

Not when you have a million angry subscribers with nothing else to do.
It tells you something about their game that they routinely disable posting on the forums when the game is down for patching.

Im not a big fan of the grind, but to an extent, its necessary. It means nothing if you get to max level in a week. The investment in time is what keeps players interested. They have a stake in the game they play. There is a limit though. Games like EQ, where they had hell levels went overboard. WoW, for all the faults people have heaped on it, got it right in the beginning. It was tough to get to max level, and tougher still to get decent gear. But it was achievable with hard work. It gave players an "ownership" in the game and kept them there. Call of Duty is the same way.
