Riiiiiiight..... You obviously weren't in WoW during vanilla, or perhaps you were too big of a newbie to MMO to even see the amount of unfinished content and bugs WoW had.

-No LFD (Spanning /1 on fleet as PvEer while PvPers get their tool are you serious?!)
I agree, this is probably something they seriously need to consider adding, it just makes the whole multi-player aspect that much easier to access. I don't want to see crossserver LFD unless it's only as a checkable option.

In the meantime there is a LFG tool that works.

-Ability lag
I dunno, some people say it's a problem. I personally don't have a big issue with it. I see it occasionally, so in my opinion this particular problem has been blown entirely out of proportion.

Regardless Bioware has already acknowledged it and are working on a fix.

-Orange item system works only until 49 @ 50 it's fotm clone warriors (no pun intended)
This is already slated to be changed so that partially purple modded items will be fully moddable. didn't see a time table on when unfortunately.

-Poor performance (I don't really blame BW for this because my comp is 5yrs old)
Well at least you can admit that. Most don't.

Quote:
Subscription canceled, waiting on new PC and patches maybe I'll check back in 6 Months.
Well here's to hoping that there is improvement by then. I think there will be. Bioware has actually been very quick to patch what they have and the first actual BIG patch is probably likely to be seen next week or so, so we'll see.

See you in 6 months.

Unless you want the industry to progress and for development studios to really push themselves to outdo eachother and incidentally make some great games rather than sit on their bums and push out the same slop year after year!

That's one of the biggest disappointments that TOR has presented; it's not a game that can wrestle with WoW. It'll burn brightly for a little while, and then fall back like every other MMO. WoW will take the innovations which were good, and TOR will be left to die; a hundred-million dollar corpse to warn those who come after.

I dearly hope I'm wrong.

Apparently Bioware does. It seems they mirrored WoW, right down to classes/abilities, only the game quality is at 2009 levels, not 2012. LOL Consular/ShadowPriest.

Why clone a game and then leave out so many FLAGSHIP qualities of that game. Ability delay/Animation prioritization is blowing my freakin mind.

Except when something new does launch, it fails too. So what's the explanation on that?

Darkfall for instance, at least "looked" amazing from all I saw of it. But it never even really had much hype behind it.

Rift while copying WoW also introduced some very interesting ideas and innovations but still proved to be lackluster in success.

My predictions of games like The Secret World, Tera Online, Blade and Soul, while being very innovative in the genre will also fail to live up to player expectations.

I don't think it's so much that people want something new and don't want a reskinned WoW,

I think it's more that most players don't know what they want.
I think most players also don't have clue 1 about MMOs but that's another discussion altogether.

.
Tor is faceroll, no question asked. They made it like this on purpose. They ARE NOT going to increase the difficulty any time soon or at all. So for those of us chasing a challlenge, we already know what tor is about. Sure the bugs will get sorted, but the lack of challenge will allways be here, regardless!

And finally in 6 months time diablo 3 will be out ( and lets face it, my 3 real life mates are going to buy and play it , which means ill be able to play with people that actually know how to play ) so thats all i really want, is to play with my mates.

Also, lets not forget GW2 , if arenanet somehow pulls this game of ( without the trinity gameplay ) and adds some challenge to it where loot ACTUALLY means something ( GASP, I KNOW RIGHT, WORK FOR LOOT, WHAT THE....) and fights are more then just tank and spank bs, then alot of the serious gamers like myself will be flocking there in droves.

What people like me are honestly waiting for is a AAA mmo developed for gamers, challenge, grind, working for gear, NO WELFARE EPICS, Gold doesnt rain from the sky, Dodging bosses abilities, running out , hiding behind terrain etc, NO TANK AND SPANK, And leveling that takes longer then 1 week to get to engame, 1 week, thats utter fail, just like that other game.

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.

I dont think you understand how business and things like profitability work. These things affect the quality of the game we paid for DIRECTLY.
