Editorial Bioware Meltdown Watch - The Burning of Star Wars: The Old Republic

[Major_Blackhart]

Bet it's not a happy times at EA atm.

 

[Jaesun]

EA will never release exact sale numbers of any BioWare game, so it's rather meaningless other than marketing (OMG! ME3 sold over 1 million copies!). Which basically means nothing.

Someone ought to post it on one of the failed tattoo sites.

The above is my favourite fail

 

[aris]

Bioware and Blizzard, the pair of .

There is no decline.

Man this is horrible.. Seems that girl died somehow, guy wanted to have some nice memory and then he got THIS?

Notice that it isn't horribly inaccurate. It's just horribly wrong in ways too subtle to be pinpointed.

"working at project offset" means that he is an internet warrior

I agree. The artist just chose the wrong features to focus on.

Anway, it reminds me of the Dorian Gray painting.

It's his own fault. He clearly paid an artist who had little experience at drawing faces. The way the teeth were done is strong evidence of this.

Edit: Unless the woman bit his penis off that is.

 

[aris]

Well, except for the fail of the teeth, it all starts with the picture, which is a bad one with a horribly forced smile. The other main fault is excaggerated facial features, making her look much older and crazier/psychopathic than she appears on the picture. There's nothing subtle about what went wrong in the transition from picture to tattoo.

 

[hiver]

Yup, too strong lines of details that should not be there at all.

anyway... whats this thread on about then? Whats going on here?

 

[Mother Russia]

So, what's the good word on this game? Is F2P going well after a shaky start? Or is Disney going to shut this bitch down?

 

[abija]

F2P is going well as a quick cash and grab before SW:ToR joins Warhammer.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Oh, did warhammer completely shut down then?

 

[GarfunkeL]

Nope, just running as a shitty F2P:

What are the restrictions on the Free Trial?

• Free Trial accounts are restricted to Tier 1 of the Empire versus Chaos pairing. This includes Tier 1 scenarios but does not include access to the Capital Cities or the other racial pairings within the game.
• Free Trial users are unable to send mail to other players, use the Auction House and Bank, or trade face-to-face with any player; however, they can receive mail.
• Free Trial accounts are limited to designated servers. If you'd like to play with friends on other servers, you will need to purchase a retail copy of the game and transfer your character to their server (or create a new character on their server). All characters Rank 11 and under on purchased accounts have access to unlimited transfers, with a max of one transfer per day. Please note that you can only transfer characters to the same server type as the server you created your characters on (Core, Open RvR, and Roleplay). Please see the full server list here for details about each server, including server type. Alternatively, if you have a friend who is currently playing WAR, you can ask them for a Recruit-a-Friend code that will allow you to create a Recruit-a-Friend trial account which has access to all servers. Please see the Recruit-a-Friend section for more information.

Also, LOLOLOL, Mythic has been completely absorbed by Bioware, as it's "BIOWARE WARHAMMER" now. Ahahaha, milking of the name gets worse and worse.

 

[JarlFrank]

"So, you have previous game developing experience?"
"Yes."
"What game did you work on?"
"An MMO. It wasn't very successful. You probably haven't heard of it."
"Hm. Alright then. So... oh my god, I just noticed you have a gigantic scar on your arm! How did you get that?"
"I'd rather not talk about it. It has many... bad memories attached. Memories of failure and loss."

 

[Infinitron]

I think we've just discovered The Nameless One's original crime.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Oh fuck you Infinitron that's funny.

 

[Oesophagus]

Those poor, misguided people.
Gnawing at their own arm, biting out the branded flesh, as if to somehow drown out the memories, trying to make the guilt go away.
But it will never go away

 

[DwarvenFood]

Imagine the peer pressure involved in getting one of those.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Fucking awful. Really, really awful.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

We should get a codex interview with one of the survivors of the tattoo wars at Bio.

 

[Kattze]

So which if the poor misguided fools above is The Nameless One?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

He's not up there.
He convinced them all it would be an awesome idea, then declined to join it.
Such was his crime.

The best thing about the internet is you can go back and read comments on articles like the tattoo one. The delusion of the Bioware fanbase never disappoints. One comment of irony (paraphrased): "Well, if a co-founder gets a tattoo for a game, you can tell he's in it for the long haul."
