Nothing's really fundamentally changed there. Redoing the side quests really isn't an viable option to keep boredom at bay for many people and that's why most people spacebar through them the 2nd time around.
Actually in the long term many of those decisions are extremely impactful and very big decisions, you just don't get to see the ramifications of -all- your decisions yet. When has this ever been the case until you see some sort of expansion or update to an RPG with player choice? Eventually, I can easily see the choices you made, even on regular missions, coming back and effecting your game play experience later.

Its same for me - when you been 50 for a while it starts to lose it shine and get dusty and then you start play with another class for story.

Ryzom has, in my opinion, one of the best designed talent systems ever placed in an mmo (very similar to the old SWG talent trees, but much better). Not to mention the world is really well designed. If a major studio ever got their hands on it and updated the graphics engine, did some advertising it would be a popular game.

I think this is seeing other games through rose colored glasses.

even in wow, which everyone likes to use as their examples, outside of some very rare class specific quests you are going along the same linear path doing the same thing as the next guy, and making an alt wont change a single thing.

especially once you hit outlands or any of the WoW areas developed in the last say 5 years. there is 1 linear path to progress down and thats it.

the only exploration is learning the new characters skills... which isnt really hard in an mmo where the most complicated things you tend to have to worry about are "dont stand in the bad stuff" and "mash 1-2-3"

One thing I was looking forward to in this game believe it or not is the space combat. The system they have is good for a launch. In fact the missions are well done and quite enjoyable, however there is so much room for improvement in this department.
Let players:
Purchase their own ships (perhaps make certain ships play differently and have different strengths and weaknesses).
Upgrade them with different options (current upgrade options are too linear with no customization).
Customize the interior and exterior.
Have sandbox mode missions (in addition to the current siderail).
Have dogfights (both pvp and pve).

A similar list could easily be made for:
Pod Racing
Walkers
Capital Ships

Ahh, the ADHD generation... I've found plenty to do once I've reached 50. Don't know where you guys are going wrong, but with daily pvp quests, daily PVE quests on Belsavis and Illum, Flashpoints with my guild, and trying to get my happy *** to battlemaster, I still have to stay up WAY too late for my liking. oh an for crafting, I just mae myself some reusable grenades, giving myself an extra stun/slow every 5 minutes, so it can't be completely useless...

This game just feels so formulated and trapped.

The entire game just feels like a number of instances, rather than one big world.

World pvp is aimless to say at least, since empire and republic territories are safely divided so it discourages people to engage in pvp.

there is no reason to explore the planets for reasons other than datacrons that you feel like you have to find.

some people saying that the story aspect in this game is revolutionary in mmos, but biowares been doing this same moral choice/companion thing for ages, i'm not undermining their accomplishment, but all they've done is get WoW's tired formula + Bioware story in a starwars universe.

It's pathetic how much of a safe route they took on this game. they're just squeezing the last drops of juice out of this beat tired formula.


I'm not pessimistic about this game, but maybe it is useless to wish for oranges on an apple tree.

Yeah, I hit 50 I do daily's and HM; however, im loving the consular sage. Id say your lucky to have a different story. Most games don't even have stories. And those that do are just repeats with different tunes.

LOTRO for example, has only one story and after like two to three years of playing it. I got terribly board. I understand you don't wanna run content again, but a different tune makes a whole llot of difference.


My opinion.
What do you mean they shot a torpedo into the core?!?

So what does that make you? The blind generation? Or the arrogant generation? Take your pick. >_>

The OP posted his/her/its opinions and you come here mocking her/him/it. You're doing very well in portraying SWTOR's community.

The irony in this post is fantastic.
