February 15 is a new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic published. “Legacy of the Sith” is the name of the latest expansion of the MMO, which has been available since 2011 Starwars-Universe. The opinions on the update are currently many, but not positive. Especially Reddit presents itself once again as the main source for criticism and antipathy. Almost nobody seems to be using the update, which is already being fine-tuned was postponed by two monthsto be really satisfied.
At least since Battlefield 2042 should EA to be known that Review on Reddit not only go beyond the scope of good taste, but also anything but closed to the public. When Reddit focuses on a game, it gets very loud very quickly and makes waves on the internet. But what specifically bothers Reddit about the new update for Star Wars: The Old Republic?
Where is the criticism coming from?
On the subreddit r/swtor the update, which was originally intended for the 10th anniversary of the MMO, is discussed with extremely critical headlines. Of “Doesn’t fix what already works” above “The game was even more fun on Mondayt” up to “The new update gives me depression” the consensus is clear: Nobody needed this update, this update does not live up to expectations, this update is bad.
What is bothering the community?
Often the new user interface criticized both in terms of its functionality and its look. The new character icons are said to look like they were designed by 14-year-olds. In addition, one is bothered by the allegedly much too short campaign, which is supposed to last about two hours. The character creator, the new class system and the corresponding balancing are said to have all deteriorated massively with the update.
Often one reads questions like “Why, Bioware?” or statements like “You could have used the time so much better”. Clearly, the desire for a more extensive story update, which is not the mechanics and the user interface throws overboard the previous version. These statements come both from old hands of the MMO, as well as relatively new users, which have only been around for a few weeks SWTOR (buy now ) play. One post even suggests the idea of reverting the game back to how it was with the last update, Onslaught.
Now the question is how organic goods deal with this criticism. Do you accept your own mistakes and respond to community feedback? Or do you stand up, cross your arms and hope that the criticism will flatten out over time? In any case, the belated birthday of Star Wars: The Old Republic was imagined very differently.
