Story diversity is a lie

I agree with the op it is kinda disheartening when an mmo that relentlessly represents
itself as a story driven mmo has so many mirrored quests even most of the class quests
are mirrored i do hope they add more variety in the future

HAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA OH man. I'm ignoring the OP. If he does have 4 level 50's it's his own fault that he is bored. You play any game 8-12 hours a day and you'll eventually get bored.


So on to this gem: So you are saying that WoW has variants on it's questing? ROFLMAO Thank you for making my stomach hurt from laughing. No one even reads the quests in WoW, much less cares why they need to kill 10 boars. The storytelling in SWTOR makes you feel that you are contributing and that it is more important. Cleverly disguising killing 10 geonosians instead of just blandly just hitting accept. Accept. Accept.

I'm having trouble leveling alts because there is no alternate leveling paths. It's the same temple with the same cult with the same driods.

OP is right.

I was going to unsub, but some RL friends convinced me to re-roll on a more populated server.

I can barely bring myself to log on, even with friends playing, its just such an insipid gaming experience, playing the same quests over again, listening to the same voice acting over and over and over again, its like watching the same crap movie on repeat.

If I spacebar, its just endless kill X collect X boring quests.

Not sure I'll last the week, let alone the month.

Agree that variety would be nice. And there are flashes of something new in swtor missions. Like tagging siths on dromund kaas, and training raw recruits on tatooine on repub side. But those type of missions are too few and very far between the kill/collect/click quests. Also at issue is that a big portion of quests are all three; you kill some (lots, actually, sometimes over a 100 in one quest), collect item from bodies, and use/destroy items strewn about.

Would be amazing to have real escorts, real assassination (not kill 50 guards, talk to NPC, and fight the elite plus 2) where you goto a spot and ambush someone. I'd like to be able to actually go into a story mission where I'm not always taken to 5m in front of the boss when fight starts. Maybe a drivable vehicle, or a race mission with speeders, or missions where you gather intel by actually observing from a high perch. SOMETHING to spicen up the leveling experience.

What we have is great for one run through. And honestly, the leveling wasn't as grindy as vanilla wow 1-60. But once you max out one character, it's difficult trying to get an alt up since you're doing the exact same missions 90% of the time. And yes, some people enjoy leveling alts (me, for example). This game makes it much more tedious to do so.

I'm beginning to think that this is apparently a lot of people's first MMO.

It wouldn't be too bad if you could get through the level range of a planet just by doing the class quests.

Are you suggesting that playing MMOs causes one to lower their standards for quality?

Your only solution here is to give up on MMORPGS. Most MMORPGS don't have any story and your complaining about not enough story.

Really? it says why in my post, maybe you could try reading the posts you quote.
