Gamespot Interview with The Doctors

Feb 112011

Gamespot got a chance to sit down with Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk to talk about TOR. No earth-shattering reveals, but it was nice to hear them say that the game is in the “finishing stages.” Also, good to hear Zeschuk emphasize the importance of quality of service, not just the game itself.

Smooth Criminal Haz Orbital Bombardment

Praise the Friday Update gods, they brought us to the Promised Land! After a dry season of no gameplay information, BioWare said unto its fans, “Have faith and you shall have your fill.” But the people hardened their hearts and they cried out into cyberspace, the void of which is terrible deep, magnifying the clatter of voices in endless echoes of dissatisfaction. And lo, just when the night’s gloom was unpierced even by the tiniest spark of hope and most silent, a light blazed across the horizon, and broke the spine of the dark, whining beast. “Behold,” said BioWare, “We bring you glad tidings of great joy! We give you the Imperial Agent, the smoothest of all criminals! We give you PvP and Crafting! We’ll even let you change that Advanced Class name you hated so much.”

And the beast retreated into its place of lurking and the fans were mollified. For now. Continue reading »
