Bad Feeling interviews Keith Kannig (SW:ToR Off-Bo)
Hier ist der Link direkt zum Podcast...
Die grobe Zusammenfassung sieht wie folgt aus:
- Keith worked at WoW as GM/CS, started at Bioware as CS and worked his way up.
- Initially no plans to participate in forums but changed the strategy, if it's appreciated (which it looks like it is), more devs will join future on.
- Bioware writes an internal roadmap, send to higher-ups, approval or adjustments and then dates are set, delays initially due to approval not coming.
- 5.3 and 5.4 (Released in August) with major class changes
- Provide better incentives, based on player feedback for Open World PvP
- Cross server never happening, data center upgrades (1 of 3 upgraded) will enable server merges in the future, technical limitations relating to guilds, ships, and banks. If happening, likely to a new server with a new name.
- Group Finder Overhaul to make it easier to create a group, see what roles are available and better incentives to play rare roles.
- Shadows and character visibility improvements, new mechanics, and effects from future operations bosses.
- Better incentives for players to do "tougher" flashpoints (Rishi, Blood Hunt), possible 2nd tier of MM FP.
- Mistake to focus only on story, dev team now focuses on all aspects of the game in internal roadmaps, fewer details but regular 90-day plans and more details as new patches get closer.
- Continued open discussion with players, please provide a "Why" you want a change/nerf/buff/type of content so devs get a context.

P.s.:
Interessant ist der Punkt mit dem "Cross Server // Data Center Upgrade // Server Merges"...
