    NOT WoW!
  1. Without something to work towards, there is no purpose to playing. You don't need to be "hardcore" in TOR to complete progression. Everything is just too easy and not time consuming enough in this game. Why developers keep thinking the easy route is the path to success baffles me. WoW didn't get popular because it was easy, it got popular because hardcore players made it popular, then the band wagon casuals flooded in and took over, turning it into easy mode. It happens in every aspect of life, not just games. The niche communities makes things popular, not the wagon jumpers.
  2. You don't need to race to end game to get to the end game in TOR. It's handed to you on a silver platter. The problem is the leveling process in modern MMO's is too fast. With a long leveling process, you get a steady but slow trickle of people reaching end game. With the current pace, the majority of the population hits end game in under a month, and then you get everyone complaining up a storm and leaving in masses. Then developers scramble with content and patches, pushing out half-tested code, and in turn causing more problems. Which is exactly what's happening right now. With the trickle effect, it gives developers more time and better data in order to help create efficient content around. You might please all the kiddies at launch with easy content, but in the end, it's not the path to success.
  3. The whole color coding system is stupid. I enjoyed EQ and just judging an item purely on stats.
  4. Someone that uses it as an excuse for lack of player skill.

    Is BM worth it?

    I always like to expense as much progression as possible per character. The more time consuming it is, the longer I'll be playing the game. If it takes me a year to get full Battlemaster, then great, I have a game to play for the next year.
  6. I really liked the Jedi Academy, much better then Thrawn for me, but I would still definitely read Thrawn trilogy. If I were you, I'd finish off the Bane trilogy since you mentioned only reading one book. Then get into the post movie stuff and just follow the time line through everything.
  7. Things are already too easy to achieve as it is. You can get enough of them to craft the few that you want within a few days with the current setup. If anything, it's too easy for such a useful item.
  8. MMO communities were destroyed when WoW went main stream. Having or not having a LFG tool plays no role in a modern MMO community. It's rotten from day 1.
  9. Faction balance is impossible at this point. If you're waiting around hopping for it, just give up on it now. It needed to happen pre launch, before servers already became established.
  10. I regularly see single Sorc/Sage top both healing and damage charts. If that's not OP, then I don't know what is.
  11. I used to play a lot of EQ2, unfortunately the days of good communities like those in EQ2 are completely dead. Just about everyone is a troll with anything involving the internet these days.
  12. I used to be one of the anti cross server people. Then I realized the communities of MMO's will never be like they were 8 years ago. The internet has turned everyone into trolls, and a cross server LFG system isn't going to change anything.
  13. I just hit 8,359 with Heat Seeker today... First time it's ever been even close to that high though. Most of the time it's between 2,500-4,000 for me. http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/764/bighits.jpg
