dont bash Teala.. she has a lot of good points on her blog entries about swtor flaws.
Most of the stuff written there honestly portrait SWTOR and if you think otherwise, you either blind or didnt play swtor.
Of course the game has many good points too.. but once you buy it and start playing it.. the flaws become obvious and slowly grow to a point you just get fed up with so much crap.
I have stopped taking her serious a long time ago. So no I don't read her blog but I'm not surprised if it's misinformed
Which part did she not get right?
She is the most enlightened poster in this entire site.

Because people change their minds...
also:
So I am going to break my own rule I made on this game. I said I was only ever going to write two entries on this game...well it seems that will not be the case. The game is too important for "me" as a gamer.
..Cake..
It seems to happen A LOT more with some than others. Changing your mind is fine but there's a line, when it happens too frequently and with too many games, a pattern starts forming and being taken serious is going to be a problem. I'm glad she has followers such as yourself and Yamota though.. rock on!
Erm I'm not a follower.. I just read her blog after this topic was posted..
Also it seems to me that she comes out and admits she's been wrong... not many people do that.
..Cake..
There is still a valour exploit that exists today (or so I have been told by someone I trust), and no it is not the one that there has been all the uproar about recently. Just saying. Oh and some of those 'incidents' where absolutely not fixed the next day...if memory serves only the dupe bug was. They where fixed quickly but not next day...now if only they could deal with ability delay as promptly:)
You should link the blog too googling 'teals gaming blog' does not find it. Did she say guild banks are not coming or something? without reading her blog hard to comment. If she said "there are no guild banks" well that would be correct as of now, not that that is such a big deal (to me).
Seems kinda obvious really after those beta impressions who would buy it?
Having now read her blog your comments make no sense to me...she did not really say anything about guild banks flaspoints or anything else you mention. I'm kinda confused what you are talking about so guess I'll bow out.
There are alot of people on this site putting out misinformed information about SWTOR. 99% of them never made it to end game. Don't buy in to their rubbish. The game has alot more positives than negatives and FFS it's only 1 month after release.
Agree
willie trombone!!
Thanks for drawing attention to that blog, I looked at it and learned a lot. It was really interesting... I wish the sites staff could take a page and do some real analysis on this game instead of marketing it so much.

Well, in all honesty, if I had to describe the released state of SW:TOR, I'd call it a GW1 clone (aka a CORPG) set in the Star Wars universe, with more voice overs and with less PvP.
I wouldn't let it irk you. He/She is a huge WoW fangirl/boy that constantly trolls the forums.
If Pokket gave criticism to the game, I would probably take notice.
So criticism from a WoW fangirl/boy is not ok but it is from a SW:TOR fangirl/boy? Like the latter is ever going to happen.
Btw, not agreeing that Teala is a fangirl of anything. She posts the most thought out and constructive criticism I have ever read about MMORPGs. She does what these so called MMORPG professional journalist should do, which is to critically review a game rather than give it high scores so they can get a front seat when Mass Effect 3 is released.

Indeed. Blogs allow the writer to be as dumb and ill informed as they want to be. That is what they are there for. They are essentially live journals for the new age.
Wrong. Wow had No raids at lvl 60 when it came out, just a few instances that at first needed more than 5 people. the very first raid, Molten Core came out later.
Upper Blackrock Spire when the game first came out was tweaked for 10 people to run through it together. (Blizzard original idea for a raid). Then as people were sending in 20-40 people to just clear it less than 10 minutes (longest amount of time attributed to the Rend event). That is when they began to develop Molten core which was originally designed as tier2 content in difficulty because Blizzard didn't know what it was doing. When MC finally..... released after months of people having then what was deemed their Tier0 dungeon set the grind into MC was literally impossible for 99% of the community and it was all about the very top end guilds actually having raiding content while yet again everyone else sat out in the cold. The first 6 months of WoW were indeed a clusterf*** when it comes to end game content with very little design towards the end game even at release (It was a rush job). Now that is something people tend to indeed glaze over when they think of WoW as the pillar of all mighty amazing do no bad game as it is many MMorpg players first game and most didn't start at the very beggining or even within the first year and dare say they were not even a goliath till BC.
Izanon people pick and choose what they want to remember. It is that nostalgia factor that makes them forget all of the bad. I am sure in 5-6 years people will forget everything about SWTOR launch besides it went incredibly smooth without crashing at all.
There are a lot of equally thoughtful reviews out there that pose different viewpoints, it's more the case that (some) people can only stomach the reviews that echo their own opinions and viewpoints, and are completely intolerant towards reviews and impressions from people that echo an opinion that isn't their own. Intellectual and emotional intolerance, often nothing more to it than that. People who're fan of a game will praise all reviews that are positive of that game, people who hate or passionately dislike a game will praise all reviews and reviewers that are negative of that game. My bet is that, seeing other posts and comments from you, you thoroughly dislike all reviews that are positive towards TOR and will think all reviewers not being negative of the game to be either bought or fanbois. Now, am I right or am I right? :-)Actually, Teala plays a wide range of MMOs and has a very solid knowledge of the mechanics of many of them. She's more critical than your average journalist and far more objective than most bloggers - I find that a good thing. I've followed a lot of stuff she's written about Vanguard, EVE Online and other games (she is also an FPS gamer) and I think the last thing i would define her as is a "wow fangirl"
Read her other blogs entries. I think she's got some great stuff there.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein
"Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
Yes, I would recieve the criticism better coming from someone that has played the game thoroughly, than from someone that stated they thought it was crap before they even tried it.
I'm fickle like that.
I like teala
He/She have some very good sense of criticism
"It has potential"
-Second most used phrase on existence
"It sucks"
-Most used phrase on existence
I wonder how many extra hits her blog has gotten since this post was made. :-)
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Nope I didn't, but i did read this, I think I'll have to block you from now on OP e-stalking like this is bad, mkay?
There are 3 types of people in this post: those that liked TOR, those that didn't and those that are playing it for the story or until the next game comes out.
That's it. Constructively Teala made some good points. Conversely, you bashing someone for their opinion makes you seem like an asshat.
And why is it that people bring stuff up it's always " oh they must not have played... i didn't experience it first hand so the issue doesn't exist". I wanted TOR tobe my WoW-savior. Its not. So I spent 150 plus 60 extra days of gamerime and can't bring myself to play it. Thats me. I didn't come on here shouting to the high heavens. I made my points in existing threads.
If you like the game, get out and go play it.
If you didn't like the game, go find another.
This game has consumed entirely too much time with repetative arguements that makes no one feel better.
Heres a cookie for reading this, now go do something constructive.
