It's like those space missions that are exact clones of a previous mission.

Dont kid yourselfes, even all the storyquests are bad and cheap plots that are pretty identical on top of that.

Yes i actually did, haven't finished them all of course, it will take some time, but they are big enough level for me to realize that some here are simply trolling when they say it's all the same and similar BS.

So I hear a lot about the reason crafting, endgame and pvp gearing for pve is fail is because the game offers you so many unique levelling up experiences.

The claim is that re-rolling is where the amazing new re-roll experience is to be had. Bored at 50? Re roll for new fun!

That new characters offered new excitement. But it just doesn't.

I see mirror image CLASS QUESTS all the time. For example on Alderaan I have to destroy the generator to drop the shield etc etc. I have seen the same class quest formats + quests done on every single character I level up.

All they do is slap a slightly different circumstance / story onto it.

But it is all the same even across factions and it is very disappointing it is all the same over various class quests.



My point is that is extremely disappointing to not be having new experiences throughout my class quests. I can understand the inability to make it unique every time you go onto a new map. But I had of at least expected class quests to be some what unique. I can predict what I will have to do for class quests before I even get them just based on what I had to do on other completely different classes ><

At first when you roll a new class, quests are new and unique but as you progress towards 50, even the class quests start to mirror each other.



EDIT: Due to some people still missing the point of what I am saying, I am referring to class quests not being sufficiently unique. Which has surprised me as it is the one area I expected a completely new "ride" in this theme park game.
This is why you're not a lawyer.

Every CLASS quest is different than ANOTHER CLASS QUEST. However, CLASS QUESTS are different from WORLD QUESTS. THey never promised diversity between each class's WORLD QUESTS, only CLASS QUESTS

quest breakdown comes to this:

Class Quests (different from each class, soloable)
World Quests (objectives shared between all classes, slightly different dialogue, soloable)
Heroic Quests (Same as world quests, typically not soloable)
Flashpoints (Not soloable, multi-class storyline, differing animation and dialogue depending on classes and choices)
Other (pvp, raids)

I get what the op is getting at, but what he is missing is this is an MMO, while the main story lines are indeed different in classes, each one ends up at the same location so all members in a group/guild etc will be around the same area to quest. If you did large group questing like I am sure many have, you would notice this. Everything within realm of each other so where not hoping planets etc but all the same level.

I get the idea of total uniqueness, but I have to concure with some, you need to slow down or better yet, play pvp matches, now that is something totally different and will challenge you , frustrate you and embroil you every time you play.

Then again, maybe the game in the end is not your flavor, but from what I read and can tell, you beleived it to be a bit more Solo with mp added. It's actually mp with solo added.

There's a certain amount of irony involved in saying "story diversity is a lie," and then following it up with a blatant falsehood like "it is all the same even across factions."

Yes, some story quests have similar mechanics. Mechanics are not story.

I've played every class at this point (though not all to 50), and they're all very unique. Sure, sometimes (rarely) you may have to a perform a similar task to something that another class had to perform in their story. If you honestly think that makes all the stories the same, you're not paying attention to the stories at all.

And, seriously, anyone saying the stories are "mirrored" doesn't know what "mirror" means. That's a completely ridiculous assertion and obviously untrue to anyone who has played more than one class.
