Are You Feeling "Burned Out" by SWTOR?

Been playing alot 5-7 hrs a day since beta, what is burning me out and will prob prevent me from renewing my 6 month subscription is the difficukty of some mos during questing.

Bioware is story, you tell me as a jedi or sith that i am powerful but i am getting slaugtered by certaain mob groups, Disarmed lol. while other classes can roll through the mobs.

If the balanced is addressed ill stick around if not its another Age of Conan.

The carrot on the stick at endgame is horrible. There isn't anything to look forward to. I get to the end of my class story and boom...suddenly I'm told to occupy myself with boring FPs, and PVP until more content patches come. Sadly, the last content patch only added another FP to run.

This game is awesome up till the last drop...but then post 50 it's all downhill. It ends up feeling like work instead of fun and diverse game mechanics to keep my occupied. This is where things like collections, housing, guild housing, siege warfare etc. come into play. I would like to point the devs at one game that offers soooo many alternatives in gameplay it's amazing. FFXI. may not be everyone fav. or executed very well with controls and such, but the sheer game mechanics and content in that game is overwhelming.

So imagine, SWTOR adding Pazaak, Sabaac, Pod Racing, collections, housing, guild housing, siege warfare, flying mounts, water zones and swimming and a few other things your mind just came up with while reading this and tell me that ISN'T the SWTOR you want to play? I know it's one I would rather play then what we currently have.

I am going to give this game a chance and keep subbing for a few months. It feels dead and non-interactive to me, plus there's nothing enormously special about the environments. The War is disconnected (it's not even a war!) and there's nothing else going on.

I'm level 28 and so far the conflict is...me and friends vs the Empire we never see? In WoW there was a third NPC faction - dragons, demons, and a lich king. In SW:TOR...nothing.

Don't take this as a flame, a criticism. It's sort of a lackluster 'meh' toward MMO's. I expected SWTOR to be awesome, and it was merely good.

Yeah the reason is the game starts out as SWTOR and ends up SWPOS

Not yet, it's too early... But I know it will happen eventually. It happened in just about every game I've played.

I just went around killing everyone sociopathically in Skyrim for a while.

It was glorious. I was all "Ahahaha, *whack*, bahahahaha, *whack whack*; oh, lookee you trying to lookee mee there! FUS ROH DAH! *Whack*" and all the NPC's were all "Ahhhhhhhh, haaaaalp!" and "I can't believe this is happening!"

And then there was this dragon, and it started to rain, and I was shooting arrows at it (because it was alive and I was KILLING ALL THE THINGS!) and lightning flashed and I couldn't see for a split second and then it was beating on me, and I pulled out my sword and went WHACK WHACK WHACK and it died.

I imagined roasting a marshmallow over its disintegrating corpse.

And then there was this guy on the road with this noble dude on a horse, and they were all "Don't come any closer!" because they were scared, and I was all "Hey, I got this funny joke. WHy did the chicken cross the FUS ROH DAH!" and then they were all 'Argh!" and blown away, and then I fireballed them to death and they were dead and I took their things even though I didn't NEED their things.

I still took them. It's the law of being a player character.

So then I was in this town and I was repeatedly beating this immortal guy into the dirt and watching him flop around on one knee and then beating him into the dirt some more, and this lady I missed in the killing spree prior was all "Oh no!" and I was all "Hey lady, I got this joke to tell you!" but she ran away and so I chased her down an alley and was all "Why did the FUS ROH DAH!" and she went flying and screaming and hit a streetsign post and died.

And then I came here to tell all of you this wonderfully cheerful, not-psychopathic-at-all story, because I know you all care.

I know you do, deep down.

You might say 'cool story, bro' or 'why the hell do you think we care?', but I know the truth.

Speaking of which, I have this awesome joke I'd like to tell you...

We are playing a game of rock paper scissors.
Quit asking to nerf rock when you are obviously playing scissors.

Some of you people are saying you're burned out before you even hit lvl 50. You're also playing multipe toons at once. Why don't you get one toon to 50 first before rolling another toon. A lot of cool stuff happens in this game when you hit 50 or max cap like most other mmos. I would be burned out too if I had done that first. Some of you probably just don't feel like you're getting anywhere because you're playing multiple toons before you even get one to lvl 50.

Maybe the social part of the game is missing for you? That's the only thing that makes games worthwhile for me.

Have any of you gotten Skyrim yet? I am bouncing between that and SWTOR. I just wish there was a practicle way to have a world like SKYRIM in SWTOR. I know its apples and oranges. Single vs Multiplayer. I just hope one day there is a server and fast enough internet someday to run SWTOR with each planet having as much content as SKYRIM.

So SKYRIM is saving SWTOR for me as im not on SWTOR 12 hours a day anymore.
