This is what I told BioWare as my reason:
I waited years for this game to come out with high expectations. BioWare knows how to make great Star Wars games yet SWToR is not a great Star Wars game for reasons that are too numerous to list here but I will name a few.
I'll check back in a year and will happily stay if you:
Fix:
PvP; Ilum is the biggest joke. We're expected to believe it's this big epic battle but the vehicles are shooting ONLY at the ground and the hills while players circle around the center area to pick up armaments. The buff from Ilum? You must be kidding. 400% increase in valor which is a useless stat in the game.
Storylines; It's hard to get into the story when the graphics are messed up. IE companions naked when they should be fully clothed in the middle of a cut scene. Other times companions speak when they aren't even part of the cut scene. If you're going to tell a story (which by the way was your foundation for this game, the one thing that was going to put you ahead of other mmos) then learn what the term SUSPENSION OF BELIEF means.
Crafting; You put level 50 mods on the venders but gave only level 49 to Cybertech... Rude.
Space combat... what space combat?
The list goes on and I would be happy to give more detail. Feel free to call me for further discussion. 808-XXX-XXXX
As I said at the beginning, this is not a great Star Wars game. It's a poorly made game that feels rushed with a Star Wars skin on it.
If this had been another game without the Star Wars backdrop do you think it would have been successful?
