  1. The solo story game is still good but the group content stinks. I don't know why Bioware made a MMO, they make the best RPGs but MMOs kinda suck in general. There should be solo versions of Boarding Party, Foundry and False Emperor at least.
  2. And no, before someone chimes in with "but it's sci-fi", no it's not. It's fantasy. SW has more in common with a fairy tale than with any serious work of science fiction.
  3. It's Star Wars, it's cartoony by it's very nature. The original film was inspired by the old matinee serials like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon that G. Lucas used to watch as a kid. I agree if it was "realistic" the universe would likely be ruled by Force users like the Jedi or Sith, possibly made corrupt by their political power, but not necessarily villainous evil characters as they are portrayed in TOR. Star Wars isn't realism though, it's fantasy.
  4. How can anyone take the Jedi seriously? They throw pebbles at you with the Force and call that a power.
  5. Sorry it was 4 years. Early 2005 to 2009 or so. Yeah JTL was part of it but also just the sandbox elements that gave that MMO it's staying power like the Crafting and the Entertainer professions, Housing, Decorations, Badges, Bestiary, open world PvP and so on. Those are all elements that TOR is lacking. SWTOR is more "cinematic" than "virtual reality", which is cool, but it doesn't have the same longevity. You're not living in the SW universe, it's more like you're playing along with a movie that's set in the SW universe. What do you do when the movie ends? Well, you leave the theater of course.
  6. Word, I subscribed to SWG for 5 years. It's been one year of TOR and I'm already thinking about dropping it.
  7. I'm guessing the winner would be determined by the fan-fiction author writing the story and whatever goals that author had for their narrative. I find that's always the case when discussing a duel between 2 fictional characters from 2 completely different fictional universes.
  8. No Scoundrel and Gunslinger are the adv. classes for Smuggler. Scoundrel and Operative play very differently than Sniper and Gunslinger. There is no such thing as a Scoundrel Gunslinger.
  9. Yeah I've never been a really big fan of Sniper/Gunslinger for PvP but that's just because I prefer to be more mobile when playing against other people. It may be that you are like me and are just realizing that your playstyle favors mobility in PvP. I'm sure some people wreck house with Snipers in Warzones but I prefer my Vanguard and my Warriors.
  10. power or critical rating. expertise is for PvP and endurance is generally for tanks. if you're dps you want power, critical and surge
  11. Same here, I've been running on Low preset since 1.4 because otherwise SWTOR lags and stutters bad. Strange since I can run LOTRO on Very High in 1080p HD.
  12. You can still buy Campaign relics with Daily comms but yeah they basically made the Daily mods obsolete by giving out Tionese gear. I guess you can use them to gear up companions.
  13. Yeah the game gives out free Tionese gear just for reaching lvl 50 nowadays. Check your in-game mail.
  14. It's okay, you basically run the same dungeons over and over for gear. I wish TOR had a bit more sandbox in the endgame with better crafting, achievements and exploration. I've got a bunch of characters for the class stories but once they get to endgame I pretty much get bored. Endgame is not good if you're mostly a solo player; the same dailies or space missions over and over.
