Yeah, and it still has lots of subscriptions because it offers action-oriented gameplay. Oh wait... Action-oriented gameplay will kick people used to mmos in the face. Because MMO players love to blame abilities, procs etc. when they suck at pvp. In an action-oriented combat system, reaction and control will play a huge role. And no one can fix that "ability" in a patch. People will run back to WoW screaming for their newest gladiator set.

My legacy name is Fisk. And I've got a fat bald smuggler named wilson.

*waves hand* Those aren't the features you're looking for. Sorry, couldn't help myself

I love bioware for implementing a class where distance variation actually is a class mechanism.

Dabih hits thread critically! Thread dies!

That sounds a bit shrink-ish, but honestly, I think its true.

This is quite insulting. I did buy the game and subscribed because there is a lot of story-based elements. Does this make me stupid? I wasn't disappointed so far. And I enjoy the game, even after having played WoW for 4 years. I really look forward to playing with the stupid people who are staying, they seem more reasonable than the smart people like you are. Good day to you.

Who are the best five rappers in the game? DYLAN, DYLAN, DYLAN, DYLAN and DYLAN. No, really, nice troll dude.

I think they should make the UI more customizable. Debuff bars etc. should be adjustable. But please, don't add mods and macros. No, please don't.

/thread Really, if you don't enjoy having at least the illusion of a choice, then please, by all means, go kill yourself or wait until you die, because thats the only choice you have.

What happened to switching AC? I don't know, haven't seen it around here for a while. I hope it lies rotten beneath cross-server-auto-grouping and nobody ever will disturb the peace of the two.

/thread SWTOR is a linear game. But its actually enjoyable anyways. When did anybody decide that MMOs shouldnt or can't be linear until end game level? I think it's much more enjoyable to follow the flow of my quests on one planet then switching regions not caring about any quest what so ever. I'm not saying TOR has no poor questlines. But at least, out of three questlines there's actually one which is quite good and you get to decide some of the outcome of the quests, and yes, I'm in my 40s now and I still enjoy the voice acting. I think it was worth it. It made me really follow the quest story lines, reading up things in the codex, and actually caring for the world in TOR. And I totally look forward to the rest of my trooper storyline, and the many story arcs they will add.

I really took my time reading all those LFG and LFD - threads without ever replying. I'm bored now. Anyways, I think an LFG / LFD tool is alright as long as they don't server-cross it.Server-crossing strenghtens anonymity. And where anonymity grows, social aspects suffer IMO. I want to get to know the people who are on my server. I want to have a reputation. I want them to have one. Thats what makes an MMO an MMO, I think. SWTOR should develop the tool they have. You should be able to flag yourself for several quests or instances, and you should be visible to anybody on your server who looks for a group too. Thats enough. I don't think a WoW-esque LFD-tool is necessary. As many of those convenient fast-food concepts of WoW aren't necessary (Nothing against fast food btw :-D). People act as if many of WoWs features are "must haves" and "core MMO features" but they are simply desing decisions. Nothing more. I hope Bioware decides otherwise, it's just that simple.

I'd love to see the dozens of thousands of threads people QQing about wanting back the companions which they sent away. I see the OP's point, I'm not too eager to make an alt on the same faction too soon, because I have to do the same planets in the same order. They could have added some smaller planets without class quests, just to fill the gap between the class quests on the different planets so if you're not in to nar shadaa, you just go through your class quest and can enjoy a planet storyline on dantooine for instance.

That guy is 35. Imagine, he could have kids. They must be popular.
