MUCH more immersive than "Hey, robot! Follow my every command! You have no choice!"

Also, I'd like to point out that I am nowhere near bored yet, and I onl have one, count em ONE character. How is being bored playing this ame possible? Are we really this self-entitled as gamers? Heck, BW is already coming out with new content for the game, and it's barely a month old!
And you think there is choice in SWTOR? Apart for dark side light side there is nothing significant that happens. The only thing that changes is the in game mail you will receive! If you do not kill X guy you will receive an email from him saying thanks. If you do kill him you will receive an email with a reward or something from the "bad" guy.

Peace out, im gong back to playing SWTOR.
LOL

That's probably the best way to describe it.

Come to think of it, my Sith Inquisitor misses me. You guys have fun whining on the forums. Or, better yet, go back and play that "better game" WoW! I got crafting to do!

(Game is so awesome, for the first time I'm having fun even if I'm just making stuff. lol)
Inquisitor > all other classes. Yep, I totally went there.

I have a TON of options in how I can quest/where I can quest/etc. Yes, the questing part isn't on the same level as SWTOR (terrible "bring X to Y", "kill X number of Y", etc), yet it gives you FREEDOM to go where you want. SWTOR is MUCH more on rails: "go to X planet", do these quests, THEN your class quest, THEN go to your ship to get told which planet to go to next. There is NO choice in the matter.

I'll be honest: all I really care about while leveling in SWTOR is the class story. As such, I feel like I'm being held back by the sidequests (which are pretty poor to begin with). With WoW, I didn't care about the story; yet I had the option to quest where I wanted, which didn't bore me so much with leveling alts.

Sure I could say "no thanks. I'll PvP instead and only do my class quests"...but that gets old fast (given the state of PvP).


To personally remedy this, I'd love to see them do either of two things:

A) expand the class quests. Make them SUBSTANTIAL, HUGE chains, AWESOME quests (lets face it, each class gets maybe 2-3 REALLY good class quests, the rest are filler), that REALLY reward the user. Make subquests optional (in case you want to overlevel, etc). Keep FP's, heroics, PvP the same.

or

B) expand the number of planets/number of sidequests per planet. Give us more freedom in where we can choose to go level/advance our class quest (lets face it: leveling 2 chars of the same faction gets old REAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY fast).
I definitely agree.

WoW is a far less restrictive and offers far more variety of 'how to play', which imo, helps offset the boredom of the simplistic game play.

Had TOR copied a lot of WoW's freeform themepark design, as well as some of aspects say from EQ2, I think people would find it far more entertaining.

BW should have seeded Class Story in a way that you could go to different planets, so that playing a Trooper Vanguard and then playing a Trooper Commando, would allow for two different content progression paths -- much like how WoW allows.

For ex: if I was level X in WoW, I could go to STV or whatever other area to quest. If I'm level X in SWTOR, I go to planet Y, no iffs and or buts. No options. :\

Which is why I said they need to do either of those two things above (increase the class story or give more options in how you can do sidequests)
Why do you even bother explaining. Can you not see he is trolling. He wants to believe this game offers him choices and 8 levelling experiences? Let him. You can only do so much.

Because he is allowed too?

Maybe he hopes to see the game improve?

Maybe he just wants to talk with other like minded customers?

Just the contrary [im no hater by all means i do enjoyed the game and mostly the solo pve part like bloddy hell and im now rising my republic character to 50 having sith assasin already farmed up with end game mods for dailies - in the simple words i quite tried everything whats TOR offers including raids] - the game have quite mediocore end-game, but the problem is it is all quite boring.

Lets face it - gathering pve and pvp gear is a mindless boring grind and i doubt this is the way to make the gameplay longer just to say "our game offer so long content".
The solo part is great, flashpoints and ops are nice, pvp sux a little due to the fact we have 3wz only and they kinda boring when you do them all the time.

The point is - instead of enjoying the game and some challenges it could offer we ended up doing hardcore boring grind, doing pvp dailies and weekly quests, and grinding in wz all the time [at least thats how end-game is for me since i do want to get champion and centurion set due to the fact those sets are nice designed and will become fully moodable in the future - but im forced to do boring grind just because devs didnt gived us the fair and easy customisation options, not like i want the champion gear to be mega pvp player, when i get it i will prbably abbandon pvp for a long long time due to the fact im bored with it like hell...]

He doesnt want to see the game improve he already hates it. At this point in time he's just openly trashing the game because he has extra subscription time left over.
