How are people bored already?

I had no expectations i paid little to not attention to the games development, I saw it in the store when i was doing my xmas shopping and picked it up, Story was fine, Bugs they happen, Graphics were average, Creativity in the game non existent, Game play is what made me unsub its so dull compared to every other mmo out and has no variety (and before the fanboys have a fit game play and story are not the same thing)

got to lvl 32 in about 6-7 days a few alts with a friend got bored because the game is boring.

So to sum up people are getting bored because this game is boring.

You have to understand, it's easier to say the combat is like WoW than it is to suggest it's like (say) Dark Age of Camelot, because more people have played WoW than DAoC and are more likely to understand exactly what you're talking about.

It's like saying "this taste's just like chicken" instead of saying "this tastes just like snake", even though they both taste similar. More people are going to be able to relate to the former, so it makes more sense to use that.

Interestingly enough, prior to WoW a lot of MMO combat systems (Everquest, DAoC, Anarchy Online) did not play like they do now. It was actually City of Heroes that shocked players and developers alike by showing them that MMO combat could actually be fun and fast paced. When CoH was first introduced to the press, WoW was still in development and Blizzard incorporated several aspects of CoH's combat into their own system.

Unfortunately, Blizzard left out most of the fun parts from CoH's combat and what we instead received was a combat system that was very much based on monitoring relatively rapid cooldowns and cycling through a rotation - a glorified wack-a-mole setup. All they really seemed to get from Cryptic was that "pushing a lot of buttons often = fun". Bleh. And, unfortunately, most MMO's have followed WoW's lead ever since. So it isn't completely wrong to refer to it as WoW's combat system.

This is not WoW. This game was not made for Raiding.

And your right it's not hard to imagine why your bored. Your bored because (and this might not apply to you but it does to most people with that complaint) you've come off of WoW or another game after being at endgame and expect the exact same experience right off the bat.

Why even start a thread asking why people are bored when you obviously don't believe people have a right/reason to be bored? You like the game. Great. Some wish it were better. They have that right as well. This thread and your responses are only going to make it more likely that folks on the fence are going to side with the 'this game is not what it should be crowd.'

I like this game, but, man this is one of the worst forum communities ever for an MMO. Mature, reasonable disagreements of opinion are impossible on this board due to people like the OP.

Thought i might aswell get some thing out of the 55 euro i spent aye.

edit:

Ow i have mentioned what i would like added in other topics, But the mods just enjoy locking and deleting any criticism or suggestions for the game. I see no point in repeating myself, Besides i dont think they are actually capable of making more interesting pve mechanics for this game due to the engine or people perhaps its a lack of in house skill to code anything more than kill 30 mobs click box type of quests.

Mostly it's because the game's so easy you can breeze to lvl 50 if you only play one character on any consistent basis. This is, of course, doing all available content and not skipping dialogue. Ontop of that is the fact that running alts is an immense chore. Once you make a rep and imp char, that's pretty much it. 90% of quests in the game are faction quests, and even then half of those are essentially the same between factions, just with different reasonings for why you're turning those 4 droids friendly.

So given the fact that once you level a character, the other three of that faction just become an immense chore. You're running quests you've already done, going through dialogue you've already done, going to the same places you've already done, all so you can get a couple class quests per planet. If the game had more replay value, people wouldn't be as bored, but as it stands you level up two or so characters and there's just nothing left to experience in the game.

Even at 50, you have the following...


1. Prep for Hard Modes via PvE dailies on Belsavis and Ilum, 25 days of dailies to get everything the guy offers. Even if you skip the armoring and the speeder it is still 360 Daily comms to get the 3 Rakata pieces, @25 a day, that us still 15 days.

2. Datacron Hunt, there is 30-40 of your main stat out there, as well as a level 50 artifact relic, go get it!

3. Hardmodes once guildies and population catches up. Also a weekly and daily for these.

4. PvP, open world and instanced, with weeklies and dailies, great for cash and for gear, even a PvE'er can get geared with Champ gear by taking out the mod and enhancement and placing it in an orange.

4.a. If you are a "hard core" PvPer there is also the Crew Skills grind wheel to get your upgrades from each Crew Skill, in the end landing on Biochem (in prep for 1.1)

5. Space dailies for credits and artifact loot to sell (300ish fleet comms per box).

6. Operations Normal, then Hard, then Nightmare modes.

7. If you just did that on one character there are 7 more unique stories to see on alts.


The above constitutes the same or more than any other MMO launched with. End game gear to grind for PvE and PvP, multiple tiers of both. And more incentive to alt than any game before it.

If you are bored, if anyone is bored, it boggles my mind... this was not directed at the op, but more my way of agreeing with him.

Agree. I've tried several ACs and their mirrors. Can't get pass 20ish anymore without falling asleep. Lack of fluid combat and interesting abilities is prob the biggest reason.
I know it's tough to pull out alot of interesting stuff from star wars themed classes.

Good point

it is almost a month now and still the "rush" argument. Fanboys are funny these days
