How are people bored already?

Same planets, same quests same guy every class wants to kill to get there title...

Same small bgs... same slow *** walking then slow *** speeder at 25..


O and u can only do the fp's so many time b4 ur space barring everything.

I'm not even 50 and I'm bored. Questing has become a grind and mobs are getting stupidly strong. It's a pain in the *** to get a group together to run flashpoints. PvP is pointless until they separate out the 50s. And there's not even anything to do on the AH because the market sucks so bad.

I think you answered you own question right here -- as well as some others.

If you are enjoying the game, and/or feel the game could not have been better, doesn't mean others must feel the same way.

Funny i could say the exact same things in your reply that i said about wow and promptly quit playing it.

I like to play games, in that i mean i like do actually use my hands and fingers, push buttons and use my wit to outsmart things. If i would play SWTOR as Bioware wants us to play it i would be watching it like a bad movie for atleast 50% of the time. Cause if you really check conversations, the choices that are made most of them are really really bad. Regular RPG games have better conversations then this, which is understandable.

What people seems to think is that the more voiceover the better, which i clearly am against.

Ive played a Smuggler/Gunslinger til 50 and a Tropper/Commando til 38. And all other characters till 10/11(leaving starter planets). And the story is far from great, i wouldnt even call it good. I would call it "ok".

Perhaps this game is not for me then? Perhaps thats true, i dont know. All i know is that the storyline conversations are extremely badly written, and it seems like its done by gamers not by real novelists. As a gamer since the late 1980's, a lover of many books and storys this game when i comes to story is sub par(in my humble opinion).

This is why alot of people are bored i think, we skipped the story like you say. But not cause we are impatient, but beacuse it wasnt worth listening too.

I'm sorry, but the way you keep reeeeeeeaching for some kind of logical foundation for a purely subjective opinion is making me not even want to bother responding to you.

Your argument can be used to justify any form of bad entertainment or faulty product. It's all "in the mind of consumer" and it's the "responsibility of the consumer to adjust his mindset to make the product more acceptable."

What you are saying is that it's the responsibility of the consumer who feels buyer's remorse to remedy his congitive dissonance by constructing an internal paradigm that rationalizes away the things that are causing the remorse. It doesn't work that way. Something either bores you or it doesn't. TOR doesn't bore you because playing 8 alts at once and running through the same content over and over and over and over again doesn't bore you. Congratulations. No amount of rationalization is going to make your playstyle anything less than excrucitating to me. And rationalization is exactly what you apparently expect "reasonable" people to do.

You are basically asserting that it's my job or resonsibility to deceive myself into enjoying the game.

Oh, and you left off one option for how to deal with boredom. Your options are, essentially;

1. Self-deception (I actually like this game way more than I think I do and the things that I don't like about it are my own fault.)

2. Do nothing and remain bored.

The third option of course is the most rational of all.

3. Find something else to do with your time other than that which is boring you.

And it's option 3 that Bioware wants to avoid. Because, sorry, if this game continues to bore me, I'm not going to "adjust my own attitude" to make it less boring. I'll leave and do something that doesn't bore me, or at least doesn't cost me money to be boring.

While overly simplistic, I do think this is a rather accurate summary.


There is not enough diversity among things, to help mask the simplicity of the game progression.

A successful way to address the 'grind' of leveling, is to disguise it enough that players do not immediately see it. Imo, BW failed to do this.

The story and VO's are interesting, but only to a point. Without other stronger ways to mask the grind, the VO/Story become a grind as well --- ergo why so many are 'spacebaring' so soon, imo.

This is the first MMO I have played where I am both working and going to school. This means that this is the first MMO where I did not rush to the max level to do high level content. I am absolutely enjoying myself in game anytime I play and I am only level 40. There are a lot of bugs in the game, which I do find very frustrating (I am being effected by more bugs in this MMO then any other I have played).

That said, I think if I had done my usual routine of level very fast to 50 and trying to complete high level content/pvp I would be bored at the moment. I am really hoping for some additions to open world PVP, as those can be very exciting and fun for a very long time. I'm thinking DAoC Frontier.

Slightly OT, but have you checked out the Empire side of things? I was deadset on playing Republic from the getgo, but beta quickly changed that for me. Seriously, Empire side is WAY better written (still corny, but on the whole a better designed story, with more obvious effort put into it)

Well disagree here. I only have 1toon, play casually 4 nights a week, maybe 3 hours a sitting and still am not 50. Close at 42 though. I think 6-8 Weeks is about an average time to take an average player to get to 50. Unless of course you play 4 or 5 hours every single night...but that's hardly a definition of average casual....

There are other games to play as well, sometimes that's easy to forget...not like this is the only game a person might play all the time...
