Gamebreaker Interview with Gabe Amatangelo

Gabe Amatangelo happened to be at PAX and Gamebreaker was able to grab him for an interview on Star Wars: The Old Republic. During the interview, Gabe fielded on everything from the layoffs to PvP. The most noteworthy item to come out of the discussion was the mention (like in our recent interview) about a new World PvP Event.

It was one of those last features we tried to tackle before launch, and when you’re launching a major MMO, emergent issues arise and resources had to be pulled from it. It was unfortunate, and we were never able to get Ilum to the design spec that we wanted.

At this point, what we’re wanting to do is an event that revitalizes it. It’ll have something to do with an alien race crash-landing into it, and we’re targeting a January timeframe, which is when update 1.1 happened this last January.

While it may not be new as it was mentioned in our last talk with the developer, it still offers some insight on future content. To see the full interview, head on over to Gamebreaker.

    Gabe had some good comments in there that should have been mention here, I think.  Possible Bounty Hunter missions??  I can't wait to see those!  These guys are trying so hard to deliver on this game.  I can't wait to see what the future brings!!

    If they mixed GW2's dynamic events and map completion aspects coupled with downscaling, leveling in this game would be amazing!

    Been playing so much GW2 lately... just makes me wish so much of that stuff was in TOR. It also reveals how bare-bones TOR really is. Makes me sad.

    Yep it just shows what trash swtor really is and especially was when it came out to begin with. The bull shit excuse the 30 fanboys left over on this game always use "oh you can't expect a new game just released to have all these good features" can be shoved right up their asses, lol. Because gw2 clearly shows if the game is polished properly with a good engine and staff the game can have all the features needed on release day.

    I agree, it makes me   sad too.  GW2 might have some problems and bugs, right of the bat, but they are easy mend imo, hell the trading post is already  up and runing,   for exemple,  how long did we  had to wait for having some filters in the galatic trade center? and on the vendors if   they already implement that at all?  its this things   one on top of each other that makes a  big diference.  Hell they even scrap the Ilum pvpv all together.  That alone means something is bad  all along.

    Sorry, to disappoint once again, brainiac, but counting only my guild, we are at least triple time "30 fanboys" so, you're wrong (once again).

    lol that many people still pay for this game? That's sad.

    What's sad is a troll like you that supposedly quit this game how long ago is still coming back to swtor forums to troll lol.  GW2 is out, your better game is here, why are you still here?  I though GW2 would be so good, that you wouldn't have time  to pry your self sway to come troll on a game you don't like.  I mean really, if GW2 is so good, why are you here?  You don't see me trolling on games I though where bad and walked away from.  I think the only thing you like is running your mouth,  That is truly sad. 

    C'mon DH staff, we have heard kolz thoughts, comments, feelings and opinions here before, they are duly noted.  Now can we please ban this account?  Any screen name that starts with "kolz" can't be taken seriously.  It's almost like he has to reassure himself every time he wants to open his mouth,

    Where is the moderator, cause the trash on here is starting to stink the place up.

    Umadbro? LOL.. It's too bad you can't get rid of someone insulting your trash game isn't it? Keep crying because you will waste more time doing so to get this account than it would take to make a new one. :P And because I enjoy gw2 I can't do anything else at all but play that one game? lol.. Sorry I didn't spend a ton of money on the pc just to do one solitary thing at a time. It's called multi tasking, looking it up while you are one of those never ending load screens of your failedtoplay game. ;) And I wouldn't see you "trolling" on gw2 because it's not WoW dumb ass, there are no trolls on that game. ;) Keep staying mad, it's the most amusing thing to read.

    Lol there are no trolls in that game? look at you bro .. Go play your brainless game where you have to click on 2 buttons the entire game .. and people aren't trolling on GW2, thats true, they get banned for it, so thats why you start your trash overhere :) ... Have fun there. Keep hating, loving it.

    Last time I checked there are trolls in LOTR and wow not on a forum since there are no classes here. ;) And if the tards are pressing only 2 keys it's no wonder why people are always asking for help and needing groups to play a game. ;) But swtor is going the same path as wow did with the dumbing down for the garbage casuals with every patch making something easier. So don't act like this failed game is all of a sudden some pro game, lol. Sorry I am on a game that actually has all of the content that should be in a game on release day unlike the half assed job that was released for swtor. ;)

    hahaha, your such a bad troller. SWtor do release new content every now and then while GW2 doesnt :) .. Like GW2 is so pro pressing 2 buttons. Let me define GW2 in a few words .. Movement / buff / debuff, thats all you gotta do untill lvl 80 and even after, gg :p .. Story, what story? Professions, not one profession has something desend towards endgame or whatver. Questing, boooring. PvP again movement / buff / debuff .. am i hurting your feelings there,  Gaywars2 is crap :) .. Just love to feed a troll :)

    Umm..moron, the game just came out. How the fuck do you expect new content already? And swtor releases new content? The last time they actually added new content was in 1.2 and how many months ago was that? Please, your fanboyism isn't even trying to sound happy to play this trash game, lol. try harder, at least it would be amusing. No professions?.. odd it seems like I been working on my crafting all this time... And no story? O_o playing 3 characters with 3 different stories so far and I haven't even got to the other 2.. Where did you get your info from? Some 2011 youtube video? LOL. And you're gonna try to insult pvp with the garbage your stuck with? LOLOL All of your garbage arenens are mini golf courses and it took how many months alone just to get ranked matches that no one really gives a fuck about? lol..And come on, 8 vs 8 still to this day? That's just sad considering console games can hold more than just sixteen people in a room hosted by a player. You can't possibly get any more pathetic than this games 8 vs 8 because the hero engine is such shit that they had to close down illum asap because they had no clue on how to fix it. At least when I go to WvW there are objectives, tons of people, and on release DAY it was extremely smooth with no interruptions. Can you possibly say that about your pvp? ;)

    Did he hurt your feelings??

  • #28 Xzarnyan

    hahaha you mad bro? :P Again .. Gaywars doesn't release new content over patches, moron.. Learn to read. The game had to be finished before releasing or nobody actually cared about that game. wow 3 chars already huh? thats cool man, so you just start leveling another char because there is nothing else to do in that shitgame besides leveling? :) Btw i'm not getting the info from a youtube vid, i saw it myself at my mates house and he uninstalled the game after showing me this crap :) .. And since you can't read either i never said NO professions just saying the professions are crap just like the whole game lol. The Hero engine is just fine dumbo. Elders Scrolls online is using the same engine you twat .. If the engine sucks you think they would use it also? lol, and Gaywars had a smooth launch ??? don't make me laugh hahahahaha, check the facebook page fanboy, from the 50 posts there are 48 complaints about errors / crashes and hacks so i stopped reading them LOLOLOL .. 2 fanboys (prolly you are one of those 2 said the game is great ) I never experienced troubles with SWtor so far from day 1 and they still gave us 30 free days. You prolly are one of those crybaby's that never had the chance of being in a good PvP guild so all you did was lose in Rateds and thats why you think it's crap :) .. Having a good time here laughing my ass off to retarded losers like you, thinking GW2 is everything they ever wished for in a game, now thats sad :) ... Keep hating.

    No, I got more characters because unlike you idiots that play one character in the entire game I love to see the entire game I paid for. If you know what that is since you got to leech off your "mates" pc to play games. Sorry you're that poor by the way. And you need to learn to read you fucking idiot because elder scrolls online is not using the hero engine, look it up. They began the game with the shit engine but they changed to their own stuff (most likely because it's only good to wipe their ass with for a start of a game like swtor). And sorry I didn't have time to check the fb page because I was actually in the game playing so I got no idea about the little people to be honest. And the professions are the same as in every game, lol. You gather and build. What fucking game have you played that made that the most amazing part of your day? The only good thing swtor did have was that companions would do that for you since everyone hates to go out and gather items. Other than that this trash game was a failure wow clone with a 1990's rail shooter for space. And come on, even big as a fan boy as you are, a rail shooter for star wars? LOLOL What the fuck... And yes retard, the game had to be finished before releasing it because that's called a complete and polished game. Not like swtor with it's unfinished KP and months upon months of bugged HM's, delayed ranked pvp matches, lies about open world pvp, and so on. With all that it's a real miracle this game failed so bad that it's under 1 million subs, has 12 us servers only, and is going f2p. But yeah let's keep looking at what a good and polished game is instead and try to insult it. ;) And you wonder why they gave you 30 free days? it's no miracle that they did that when they lost over 400 k people in a matter of 2-3 months. I have no idea how much content or when it will be released for gw2 but considering the trash you're stuck with isn't worth bragging about (which is one thing that made over 1 million people leave) I wouldn't try to insult any other game for the same fact. Look your info up when you're leeching off your "mates" pc. That way you will keep up to date with stuff. ;)

  • #30 Xzarnyan

    hahahahaha so much fun to see you get frustrated by talking trash to a trash game .. I indeed looked at my mates place to see whats it like on high lvl and still it failed :). I'm telling you again, i don't play crapgames till the end, i went to lvl 18 and i sold that shit to another loser who already quit the game as well haha :) .. Guildwars 1 failed so hard they had to move on and make a Failwars2 LOLOL .. and yet again it fails :) .. let's have another convo in 3 or 4 months :). Atleast SWtor can afford to loose 1mil players while Guildwars can't or it will be you and 1 other troll running around in an empty world trolling eachother about how crap the game really is ... oh wait you can't, you get banned for that LOOL. And GW2 has no bugs ?? hahahahaha lmao, don't tell me you don't watch the facebookpage, your just to ignorant to let it sink in your brainless head that the game is another fail just like Failwars 1 :) .. Keep hating sucka.

    And now we move on to insualting and profanity.  I am starting to find many reasons to walk away from this site and none of them are because of the game.  How sad.
