Thanks for the link. You didn't spoiler any story which was good of you, there's not much reason players would reply to that thread but I'm sure they looked and some agreed.

Everybody has different priorities and expectations when it comes to gaming. But to say that other peoples' opinions are wrong is just plain ignorant.

I neither love nor hate this game. It was an okay ride to 50 with pretty terrible endgame content. I picked it up to kill time until Guild Wars 2 came out thinking even if endgame blows (which I assumed would happen since BioWare is new to the genre) I can roll alts to keep me busy. Unfortunately, the linear leveling process makes rolling an alt akin to seeing how many needles I can cram into my eyeball before I pass out.

It will forever be impossible to satisfy everyone. But it seems like the game is unpolished and rushed (even many self-professed fanboys/girls have said that) and that turns off a wider consumer base.

Try my weight training sucker-punch method. You'll get more muscle mass and look better, despite the lumpy broken face. I'd wager though it's better than needles in the eye. That just sound's awful, at least my idea has an upside.

I had my last straw with pvp today, I charged a consular on a bridge in Voidstar, suddenly everything was stars/nebula clouds and I was defeated, then I was defeated again, and then kicked due to being in the safe zone for too long. Stuck did nothing, and the game was making this weird WooooobbbBWAP! Sound out of my headphones, and then it just shut down.

I was like :| Nope.
LOL i know how you feel man.

Im a Marauder and it feels like I am not in control of my character in PvP.

Last night, I got pulled in, then knocked back, and then another guy pulled me back in, stunned, dead. There were others of my team around but just seemed the marauder was the easiest target.

It felt like I was on a roller coaster, actually at the time I mentioned to them it was actually a good combo.

That's a huge point right there. I Don't feel like I control my own character half the time in PVP, at all. It's really disturbing, and I even know how to use resolve properly, if I'm not dead before it's full. I've seen Operatives go right by me (smugglers too), and never attack because my resolve bar WILL fill, and I WILL kill them, they just go after the clothies, which is what they should do.

But still, they don't need to attack me, the sheer amount if KB/CC will do me in just fine.

It's not that forums are negative so much as forums are confrontational. There are plenty of posts from people that really like the game, and these posts are rapidly attacked by people spouting inflammatory hate toward the game.

I also see people posts about how terrible the game is, and it's immediately full of people telling that person to get out and go to another another game.

I also see people that love the game, but have small suggestions for improvement, and even those posts are filled with angry, insulting replies.

Truth is, most gaming forums are just a fake-debate mini-game where people throw around terms like "troll", "fanboy", "Strawman", and "slippery slope."

I rather enjoy the forums (I also enjoy politics for the same reason), but if you ever come to a game forum, you need to come to it knowing the posts are usually confrontational, exaggerated, and full of so many logic flaws that it would make a droid short circuit.

It's akin to watching kids argue over who's toy is better, with nothing but the sticker price of the toy separating the value of said toys.

One toy, has more features, but one toy is newer and more expensive but does less, but has a much better coat of paint on it and looks really cool, but the older toy has been remade several times, and is less expensive. But the newer toy talks, and the older toy doesn't. The newer toy is based on a product people like, the Older toy is based on something Less people liked.

It's completely pointless, the only way this can be discussed is rationally. Eventually you just want to slap Both bratty children upside the head, take away Both their toys, and put them in time out..while you secretly play with both toys and enact an epic battle for supremacy.

I have done this, I am not ashamed.

Ok, I will. Anyhow I must go to bed now, goodnight.

Two reasons:

1. Harsh, pointed, yet constructive and clearly articulated criticism directed at the game's flaws are the best way to get the game improved.

but more importantly.

2. It's the internet. The internet complains a lot. About everything.
