Why are so many people saying this game is bad?

There is no wrong. People play how they want to play. You must understand in the MMO community it is quite common for folks to care solely about endgame. Leveling is a chore to them.

It may not be your cup of tea but to a lot of people it is.

Because some people just like to complain.

It's fine if someone wants to say SWtOR isn't their cup of tea. But saying it's "bad" is just plain incorrect.

In those people's cases, they bought the wrong game.

You don't buy a game that is marketted on story and then skip the story and go for endgame.

It'd be like buying WoW because you want hardcore PvP and then complaining because WoW doesn't have hardcore PvP.

There ain't a lot of hate for this game. There is a vocal minority who hang out on these forums who do nothing but spout doom and gloom rather than either A: Play it. ot B: Go away.

Ignore it, man. If you're having fun, then you're having fun. I've yet to see one person in game complain about anything other than that green light\wall bug, even on Taris!

I just wonder why having a shred of patience is so difficult. I could understand the sentiment that the game is terrible because of bugs if Bioware was just ignoring them. They're actively working on fixing bugs. You'll see more of the minor bugs being fixed first because the minor bugs are easier to fix.

Most of the long-living MMOs were't perfect and shiny out of the box. The players enjoyed what the game provided, offered suggestions as to what would make it better, and gave the designers enough time to implement it how they liked it.

The constant need for instant gratification just leads to disappointment.

He can't have played it wrong...he would have been banned.

It was marketed as an MMO though and therein the confusion may lie. A persistent world by design is going to require a robust endgame to keep people engaged. Also, nowhere did I see the game marketed as one that would not have a robust endgame.

I don't think you understand whats going on at all, let me try to explain it for you.

People that are complaining aren't really saying 'ZOMG GIVE ME CONTENT NOW NOW NOW', its more of a 'Hey, there is nothing to do at 50 and there a lot of bugs preventing competitive gameplay which drives subscriptions. If this doesn't get fixed by the time the mass of casuals(YOU) hit 50, this game is dunzo'.

Thats it. Its really that simple. People that are complaining are smart enough to know what makes an MMO 'stick'. After you invest 3 months casually leveling your perfect little jedi into being you are going to be pretty dissapointed to find out theres nothing you can actually do with him that is meaningful.

I am still enjoying the game, but there are a TON of bugs in it, and I can easily see how they could drive people crazy, especially those that have been playing for a long time in the betas and have been reporting the bugs over and over again.

Also, the game does push players into a single player mode with forcing you to do the class quests in order to advance your character, which is another issue I can see players having trouble with.

And PvP...well, that's another thorn in the side of many.


Yes, it's a good game, but it DOES have features that will draw ire.

So you've saw all eight class storylines? You bought a BW game and thought it would be all about PvP and Dungeons? No, story has always been BWs strong point. Go see what another classes story is. That should keep you entertained.
