We have beaten most of the content anyways.

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?
I completely agree with what both of you guys said.
I don't even know why I spent so much time and effort to get all the crew skills to reach level 400 when you could simply play hard mode or pvp to get superior items.

And it's so hard to find a group to run flashpoints together unless you are in a guild.
Once you are in a guild, there is no reason to run it with people that you don't even know.
But if you do that, it only restricts the freedom of meeting and playing with new people.
And think about all those people who don't want to be in a guild. They will spend numerous of hours spamming LFG LFG LFG...etc.

Think about Diablo2. You don't even need to type LFG and you can enjoy from act 1 to act 5 with 7 other people. It really feels like multiplayer or super ultimate MMO whereas starwars MMO is more like starwars singleplayer that limits the max number of people into 4 with occasional operation missions. Diablo2 has short loading time, variety of enemies instead of the same droids that show up from the beginning to the end, teleport that doesn't waste your time ... I think diablo 2 is far superior to this game except graphic resolution. I think the max resolution for diablo 2 was 860x480.

Well im honest i had fun leveling from 1-50 but that only took me about 3 weeks and after that i did pvp and im Valor 54 right now. Then i rolled an alt and i simply cant go through all the repetetive quests again and im sick of the Warzones and random loot bags and so on


I just dont see anything that justifies SWTOR to be named MMORPG. Its lacking basic features to be called MMORPG and therefore i could just play skyrim or any single player game. I dont see why i should pay a monthly fee for a single player game with pvp elements and coop

Well you sound somewhat reasonable maybe give it a few months and try again later. The bugs will be fixed its just a matter of time.

The ones that really crack me up are the people hoping GW2 is going to save them. Sorry but if you trash any mmo thats not wow then prepared to be disappointed.

1-49 was fun
50 = the same boring grind as every other mmo i have played, with the exception of it being less captivating.

I feel deceived and I have unsubscribed.

I will like GW 2 IF
1. it does not have airlock
2. it does not have orbital station
3. it does not stop you from using your speeder
4. story is not as awful as swtor
5. it does not make you load twice each time you die in flashpoint
6. it does not take forever to find people to start a group mission
7. it does not feel like a lame single player game
8. it does not make a lame patch that makes half of the players to get BM when other spent several weeks.


What I know that GW 2 is better already
1. graphic
2. character customization
3. better looking enemies and environment
4. better action and hit detection

I'm gonna give Bioware until February 20th to re-hook me. This battlemaster grind just isn't doing it for me anymore.

Not to mention imperials all got battlemaster in 1 day, whereas I have to work nearly 2 months. they didn't roll back that exploit. That is a kick to my groin.

4v4 rated ladder system, rated warzones, rated SOMETHING. Give me the option to not play with half goods and half complete bad randoms in warzones. and let me pick the freaking warzone i want to play. What is this, WoW 6 years ago let me pick which battleground i wanted.

For one you havent even played gw2 so how can you even compare it? Also you have only based the positives on graphics which is always a mistake.

Ok, I am not going to offend anyone but myself. I have no clue what I am doing compared to many of you who have played MMO's like they drink water. I have played maybe 2 of them in my life and got good at one that changed so much often I got sick of it and couldn't waste any more time relearning it.

So what does a noob think about this game?

I actually like it. I am low level (18) and have ebjoyed every single level so far along with the stories. I keep getting lost in the damn game but I expectthat because again I have no clue *** I am doing. I keep saying to myself they must of spent a lot of time with everything in this game regardless if it seems redundant to others because there is just so much in this game.

Now I can not debate anyone compared to what else is out there. Right now I am just getting the scoop on some things. Right now I am pretty happy and in a weird way getting into the Character I created. It's just fantasy to be a Sith :-).

I have not had any problems with the game so far but I have a very powerful system so I shouldn't. I am not sauing there are no bugs because that would make me look like an idiot. I just have not seen any that seems to be that big of an issue.

So from me, an audience that is new to such a game, I am pretty happy so far.

I also would like to add the community is pretty good as well so far from what I see. People are actually nice in game. That makes it so much more better.

You kinda don't get it. A lot of people didn't buy this game hoping it would suck so they could come to the forums and troll. I for one love Star Wars. I remember being a kid and wishing I had force powers. I had over 50 action figures, Millennium Falcon, Death Star, Jawa robot base, and a bunch of other stuff. When Luke got his hand cut-off, I would think how cool it would be to find his light-saber.

However, I also played several MMOs over the last 10 years. This one just isn't good and it kinda makes me mad because it is Star Wars. I really wanted it to be good. I wanted to waste hours and hours of my life playing but like many many many others have said, this is not a very good game. It isn't a MMO.
