It's not going to fail.

It's just not going to be relevant.

THis is game is not going be the next big MMO on the market, because the it is too much of a WoW clone. Its an average game and some parts are fun to play. The end-game still needs tons of work and this is a major factor for alot of lvl 50. The replay value is poor, unless you roll a sith or viceversa.


With GW2 due out later this later this year BioWare has a really harc contender on the horizen.


I keep playing SWTOR for now, but it feels moore lika a singleplayer game.

MMOs are about dynamic content, not static content (story).

In my opinion the biggest thing is really the dead worlds, the mazes walls and blockades everywere, instances which even get you more claustrophobic and you need to walk the same route over and over, and the way you use your spaceship(which feels like a load screen between load screens instead of being a real spaceship). This entire game is not even a themepark its just a railtrack in a themepark(remember walking back where you came in in an instanced quest? trains need to do the same xD)... To be short everything lacks freedom, even the sentences you chose are not out of free choice but to farm alignment and/or affection points.

It must be changed so the game goes more towards a feeling like this:

Planets/Space need to be changed in this game.

Other MMOs did create free lands and some of the feeling of you are in a world.

People are forgetting the WoW launch. It was a disaster. Everything you can say "but SWTOR..." no, it was 100x worse when WoW launched.

"BUT THIS IS 2012 HOW CAN A GAME HAVE BUGS?"

yeah... we said that in 2008 about AoC
yeah... we said that in 2007 about LOTRO
yeah... we said that in 2004 about WoW
yeah... we said that in 2001 about Ultimate Online: Third Dawn
yeah... we said that in 1999 about Everquest

We have been complaining about MMO launches since MMOs came out. They have ALWAYS been a disaster for their first year, always, without fail, and then they get their stuff together.

I'm actually amazed at how playable and enjoyable SWTOR is at launch.

Rift completely dismantles your argument. Extremely polished launch with very few bugs. Definitely nothing that was as game-breaking as the Bounty Hunter class quest bug.

Re rolling alts is cool, but it should never be the main focus of an MMO. Go look up Secret World/GW2 videos, and tell me that this game has anything innovative compared to those....
Providing helpful criticism of the game is what is needed, not the hundreds of morons spamming "game is ****, i'm not subbing again for this piece of crap".
