Linearity and Easyness is getting annoying

No I haven't beaten all the content available

There is no "hard stuff" either so I don't know what game you are playing.

Anyways had to rant this out, sorry, but.... thoughts?

Who said I wanted this game to be SWG, did you even read my post? No I haven't beaten all the content available, but I've tried it, both PVP and PVE and it's nowhere close to what it should be compared to WoW for example. Why exactly would I need to beat poor content to make my point anyway.

My honest thoughts?

Go back to wow if you don't like it. I'm loving it on alts and main. I'm enjoying the story lines quite a bit. I've got a bounty hunter tank light side, bounty hunter merc light side, sith assasine dark side etc.

I'm not at all bored in game. What I'm bored with is coming to these boards and seeing posts like these, about a single person disparaging the game, Promulgating their declarations as if people have accepted his personal opinion, when the vast majority have not.

For the 100th time, you are ahead of the curve. End game will be advanced when more people get there, just as it has in every other MMORPG ever made. They are currently focusing on leveling bugs, content, crafting skills for the rest of us.

Play wow for now. Come back when the rest of us hit level and content starts going in. You will find yourself alot less angry.

Well as I mentioned above: World of Warcraft. You can level in completely different zones in different playthroughs. You can even level in different zones on the same continent. This game literally takes you from zone to zone in the same way, even on different factions.

I've leveled to 50 now and am done with the story on my sith juggernaut. As mentioned many times around here the end game is severely lacking and quite boring, so I've decided to give it a chance to expand since people here seem to suggest its brand new so I shouldn't expect WoW's endgame after one month (crappy excuse considering we're in 2012 not 2004, but whatever...)

So since I still wish to play, I've rerolled (feels like Bioware cheering in the back saying "mission accomplished" for another reroller). It's hard to describe how linear and easy this game is. I'm going to the same planets, doing the same crap in the same exact order... Like my initial playthrough I'm constantly outleveling the zones I go through. Even WoW for all its flaws gave you the possibility to jump to different zones in completely different continents to level.

Instead I get, Hutta/Korriban (oooooh choice see...)-DK-Balmorra-Nar Shaddaa-Tatooine-Alderaan-Taris-Quesh-Hoth-Belsavis-Voss and Corellia. The VO for every single quest is sort of stupid too the second time around, there is no reason to listen to it besides for choosing the appropriate LS/DS choice for your build. The class story is the only positive and even it is getting stale since none of the choices you make matter anyway. Why can't I kill my companion if I don't like him or if he betrays me? Why can't I go against what is asked of me and do something completely different? Thought this was a story based MMO, yet I can't decide anything, I'm just being guided and can decide to be an obedient watchdog or disrespectful douche.

This would all be ok if it actually took some time to get to level cap. But it does not, it is incredibly easy to just solo to 50 in a short time. I realize WoW is the same now, but in Vanilla it took time to get to 60, it felt like an accomplishment. On my sith jug I dinged it on Voss... (a planet that I completely outleveled at the time so the content was trivial).

What?

Wow leveling is horrid, redundant, booring as hell.


There is only one way to level in wow, that is to use recruit a friend, run three box three accounts and have a main blast them through levels, at 350% xp and just get through it. That game is all about getting to end game as fast as is possible because the rest of it is horrid. This game, leveling is almost not noticeable because it is a strong part of the game....unless you are racing to 50 as you did in wow. Wrong game for that.


Look, you can argue that you hate this game (though I have no idea why anyone would stick around to rant about a game they obviously find inferior to a game they are not playing), but to argue that leveling here is worse then wow is, well, quite frankly, its ridiculous.

What curve? Curve would be present if getting to 50 wasn't so trivial. They aren't focusing on anything besides more single player stuff as opposed to MMO stuff.

I don't care if the vast majority accept my opinion or not. If you're so impressed by mass effect with coop thrown in, why aren't you playing it now? Why come to these boards. When I'm enjoying a game I don't ever need to post anything or read any boards. I'm kinda busy playing the game....
