This is supposed to be a fun game... not a drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Lazy much? Doesnt take long to run from the terminals to the damn planets.

It wouldn't be a problem if BioWare didn't have so many quests that involve completely pointless travel. I have a friggin' holonet communicator aboard my ship. Why the hell do I have to travel from Coruscant to the Republic Fleet for some rest, then to travel back to Coruscant to meet that old bat; and that after two pointless go-and-talk quests already that easily take you half an hour just for a conversation that doesn't last a minute.

You've seriously not read anything anyone's been posting?

/sigh
You do know in other games you have to travel THROUGH multiple zones?

You get to see 2 load screens (elevators are NOT load screens, I got a pos computer without a ssd and don't get load screens in elevators. I get a fade to black) a 3-5 second warp and some walking through a building. If we include orbital stations another building and elevator.

THE AGONY!

My only gripe is that the time spent in hyperspace is WAY too short.


Now I know you guys are going to say the load screens are a pain to look like (nice art work BTW BioWare) so I have made a suggestion to BioWare to eliminate those load screens during travel.

SWTOR is the first MMO to put the traffic jam in it, via myriad loading screens.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

So what do you call the login queue that players have experienced in EVERY single MMO to date? The expressway?

To be honest, even in game lore that doesn't make sense. You don't travel from planet to planet just for a minute long conversation - you just don't.

The movies takes place about THREE THOUSAND YEARS LATER!!! There's absolutely NO way people may have had different views when it comes to in person interactions 3000 years ago.

I like the traveling. Except the part where my ship takes off every time I open the door, and then I have to open the door from the inside to land.

Yeh I'm seeing it now.

you're either trolling or you genuinely believe what your spouting.

Not sure which is worse.

I'll bet you'd still be against getting rid of useless airlocks and stations even if they kept them in and just added an option upon leaving ship to go straight to the surface wouldn't you?

You couldn't be more transparent if you were a sheet of plain glass.
