I am sure some people will disagree, but here are what I think. This is an online game, but it feels more like a single player game with some heroic missions that require more than 1 person. Spacebattle feels like a shooting game that we played in arcade with 25 cents coin when we didn't have the internet. There are many places that stops you from mounting and you must run pointlessly. Every planet has airlock and orbital station that make players waste so much of their time without having fun. I haven't played all the classes but I can say that Jedi Knight story is really boring. Also, since 99% of the story is side quests that are shared with other classes, I can imagine how boring other class stories are, too. Side quests are basically go bring this, go destroy this, go kill this person...etc. One of my friends is a bioware fan and he kept telling me how epic the story was going to be. I expected a story that is very emotional, heart breaking, or has twists, but none of them were in this game. Whether you choose light or dark side, it won't change the story enough to make you think. The game is fully voiced but half of NPC are aliens with pig or elephant sound. Once you reach level 50, there are not many things to enjoy. You already finished your quests, and basically the only thing you can do is flashpoints, operations, and PVP. I am sure they will add more of these as they did with patch 1.1. But I have finished most of flashpoints at least once or twice, and repeating these is not fun at all. It's just the exact same mission over and over without any kind of variety. Whenever we form a group, it takes a long time before we can start because we all need to gather in front of the mission entrance. There is no teleport feature to instantly summon your group members. The rest of the group must waste their time or take a shower and come back. This happened almost every time whether I played the game with my friends, guildies, or random people. When there are huge number of players (either republic fleet or ilum open world pvp) the game lags so much. Overall, I am not impressed with this game. How is this a non biased post? Maybe you should learn what words mean before you use them.

What I noticed is that early story line gave you many choices between light and dark side. From the mid game, basically the only time you can pick light and dark side is flashpoint. I felt that they kind of rushed the game as soon as they made the 1st planet. I think that warzones are not too bad. Although voidstar is nothing but AOE spam to the door without any thought process, the other two seem ok in my opinion. What I think the biggest problem in pvp is that it relies too much on stun. They also gave too much advantages to ranged characters and mages. Since you mentioned it, I think character designs have big flaws too. It only has 4 body types. I am pretty sure a lot of star wars fans wanted to pick yoda type. And you can't pick fat girl. You can only pick fat guy. What kind of discrimination is this? I checked guild wars 2 and it has so many variety when it comes to body types and races. (for those of you who told me to quit star wars, YES, I am leaning towars guild wars 2 now) And I am sure millions of people already wrote about how awful end game gear look. My level 20 character got better looking gear than people with battlemaster gear, LOL.

While no other game has ever accomplished that in this short period of time. - PvP has allways been somewhat inbalanced in every MMO before this. - No gamebreaking bugs remain at this time. - The loading screens are only annoying if your computer is 10 years old , otherwise it takes like 30 sec at most. - Maintenance is actually badly placed though , that's about the only part i agree with in your post. As for the things i left out , they are either inaccurate or irrelevant.

Never ceases to amaze me how people love to trash this game but they'll keep trolling the forums instead of just leaving.

Most of the features you consider basic , is only basic in World of Warcraft..... Maybe you should go back to that game then.

It only means that they care so much about the game and they want it to be better. It's true that we all have different opinions, but we are all gamers and I am sure everyone wants to play better games than crappy games. In his case, I am sure he left the game because he didn't like starwarsTOR, but I am sure he will continue to seek for a game that will satisfy him. Also I think he wants to find out how this game can evolve when people like you continue to have hopes and developers continue to work hard. Maybe he will come back. Maybe I will come back (I haven't left yet LOL)

I think the game has potential. I love playing in teh star wars universe. However, i am sadly disappointed in the fact that I cannot go into a Flashpoint and expect to get armor for my character, except PERHAPS from the last boss ... and only in hardmode. WHy? Because My character is a marauder .... and marauder armor just doesn't drop from flashpoint mobs. It doesn't .... it simply doesn't. Now, if I am lucky and win the roll against the Juggernaut if the last boss drops a "set token" to be turned in ... I might.. get an item. You have to admit ... if you had MUCH less chance of getting an item from a flash point than perhaps any other character who goes in with you, you'd be pretty irritated / discouraged as well. I've ran every FP in the game multiple times, alot on hard mode, and have NEVER saw a piece of marauder armor drop, and it really makes me wanna re-roll. SO ... my opinion of the game? Well .. it has potential ... but just not as a Marauder ... that is if you like your toon to look cool, or get an occasional piece of loot.
