Im a huge star wars/bioware/mmo/wow-clone fanboi in all regards. I am totally biased towards loving this game, and guess what? I love it. Can't get enough of it. I don't lose sleep over it (usually) and don't let it control my life like a normal human being, but when I do take the time to sit down, and play a video game, its been this since it launched and nothing else. I love it with all my heart and soul and yet....

I'm not biased enough to not see some of the large mistakes in the game, the fact that it was rushed out the door is proof enough the game needs work. Some important, most would consider 'basic' systems don't exist. A lot of stuff is wrong with it and I don't have enough time or patience to list them all. But that aside, I also have been part of the MMO and gaming community since before the times of Everquest, I know no game at launch was perfect and didn't need patching or work.

This game needs it too, more so than some games, less than others. I am not naive to say the game is perfect.

But that is the real clincher isn't it? The game is NOT perfect. But it IS perfect for me.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

I think its more like that all the fanbois cant handle critism.
Its pretty obvious that from your "opinion" (which by the way was pretty much 100% negative) that you dont like the game. Is that not an accurate account of how you feel about this game?

I bought the game a couple of weeks ago.
It would have been a cool single player game, and if it was I might have played it for longer. Right now the worlds are dead, and I'm just playing co-op with my wife. Our time will end in about 10 days.
The leveling story is quite cool, but the input lag, ability lag, sync problems with mobs, fps problems (on a gtx 480, 4 ghz i7) is destroying the fun.
I just can't believe that one can spend 6 years on a game and still have these basic problems, and it leaves me without hope.
Maybe I will check it out in a year or so if they offer f2p or free trial so I can see if the problems still exist.

But for now..
So long.. and thanks for all the fish!
And see you in TSW or whatever is the next mmo

Sigh* I am only playing this game because my guild mates are playing it. I suspect that soon they will wake up and realize how mediocre it is. Right now I am trying not to complain to much and ruin their fun and some of them are getting fed up with it as well. When GW2 or new Diablo game comes out see ya. We have beaten most of the content anyways.

This game has taken a huge step backwards for MMOs. MMOs are suppose to be worlds that you can live in and affect. There is none of that in this game.

They over did it with cut scenes and wasted a lot of time and money on it that should have been put into other areas. Cut scenes should have been limited to class quests and been a little better. I guess the first time you can deal with them (barely), but when you start another character and have to deal with the same exact scenes? OMG.....kill me please.

PvP is a complete joke. Did you guys even listen to Mythic one bit? I know they weren't perfect but geeezzzz, a two year old could have told you your plan is garbage. I bet Bioware thought they were the **** when Mythic was forced to join them. They treated them like dirt and told them they knew nothing. Guess we know who is laughing now...

Crew skills are lame. Really wish they would have done something more advanced like in SWG. I remember the days when there were people that played MMOs just to craft and have fun. They would spend all day making stuff, chatting, and helping others. Added a lot to the game. I still remember our guilds crafter from DAOC. She was awsome.

I don't have an option on flashpoints. Did a couple and thought...just as boring as WoW.

No server forums is kinda lame. There is no sense of community because of it. I have no idea which guilds are on my server, who plays, etc. Once again, a MMO is suppose to be a home away from home.

I really hope Guild Wars 2 is better than the crap MMOs that have come out lately...

This game just depresses me with how good it could have been. 200 million dollars and this is the best you could come up with?

yes, but thats only my opinion, im ok with people having different opinions. How about you ?

I wish that this game could offer a better experience but in my opinion its not enough for paying a monthly fee.

I dont mind you posting your opinion im fine with that. But its just funny to me that it was all negative. So essentially you have zero to say about it thats positive?

Boring. People say it has plot and immersion, it doesnt. Its really elementary, the plots are pretty obvious. All the quest dialog is dull. Its all just fetch/kill quests anyways. No innovation there.

Once you hit 50, the game ends.

There are tons of bugs, lots of other issues. The game is based off a decade + old engine made by a company that created Text based online games..
