I'm seriously starting to regret buying SW:TOR

Also to spice things up, I'll add that I'm playing on first day EGA server - Hex Droid.

So the screenshot was from first day of EGA when hardly anyone was invited? Thats your example? lol

1. Intancing is an absolutely terrible design, whoever came up with this idea should be fired. Right now I'm sitting in Tatooine, there are 22 people on the whole planet and still THERE IS TATOOINE 1 AND 2. Are you kidding me!? How am I supposed feel like I'm playing MMO when you are cloning maps and splitting population, which is already very small. Where are the masses on my full/heavy server!?

This is a small drawback at times sure. They have said though once they see load balancing it will be removed if needed. Also have to remember now Tattoine is the first world for both Republic and Empire so there are both factions in that instance

2. Fully voiceover. It just doesn't work. It's a game, not a film. Gameplay is a substance, not staring on monitor. You only made accepting quests more annoying by mashing space several times. I always choose second line and dark side when I have an option. But does it change anything? Besides some numbers in my character pane, access to some items and scars on my face, NO IT DOESN'T.

Yeah pretty much what other people have said here. This was the main selling point of the game for a lot of people. If you didn't read that then you never researched the product you were buying. Nobody's fault but yours.

3. PvP. No brackets, you throw everyone in one tier. How lvl20 is supposed to compete with capped player with such a limited skill pool!? Open world pvp? I won't even comment that, you have already tons of topics regarding this matter. So far PvP in this game is the worst I've ever experienced.

Don't expect PvP to be anywhere in any MMO anymore. People will always take the lazy way out. Which is wait for a queue to pop. As for brackets not quite sure what you want, but I'm sure something will be introduced eventually. You have to keep in mind PvP is only a slightly larger chunk of the population that hardcore raiders normally, specially in a story driven game like this. So while you are needed for sub base, the whole PvP system is thrown in more or less as an add on and not pivotal part of design.

4. Enviroment is poor, world feels desolated and immersion is extremally lacking.

The world feels fine if you really listen to the quests, and look at what is going on. Also if you are talking about a dead planet and your are Tattoine that is kinda the point....It's a flipping desert. Do you expect wildlife to just be all over the place and thousands of NPCs flocking to go running through the dune sea?

I don't know how you gonna fix these issues or better question would be if you even attempt to do this, but something must be done.

So, you didnt realize this was a fully voiced over story-driven MMO? Maybe do 15 seconds of research before you buy something next time.

Not that it matters much to me your opinion of the game, but I want to correct your misinformation for others that might take you seriously. Your light and dark choices in the game allows you to take different paths in the same quest throughout the game. I speak from experience from playing a sith dark warrior and a sith light warrior. Not many people would know that because the game is still pretty new. But you seem to be assuming without knowing all the facts. Or you are just being is less then honest.

Seriously, these kind of threads should be locked. The OP is filled with half-lies at best. But from what he wrote, you can easily tell he is rehashing the anti-theme park arguements from sandboxers or WoW fans. As you noticed if you really play the game and knew what you were buying, most posters disagree with threads like these. If people didn't respond to these threads they would die very quickly.

The instancing example is a clear lie. I have never seen in game what he described where there are 20ish people on two instances of a HUGE planet. Only places I have seen more then 1 instance was in the starting planet, space station and your home planet. The others are just too big to even start the instancing process.

basically the game is co-op kotor.
to much rpg and not enough mmo.
I'm still having fun for now, but unless something drastic happens I do not see the longevity. Will prolly turn out like CoH, small but dedicated population of alt-aholics.
