- When can i do pvp in ilum with more that 5fps?
- Were is the "end game"?


To fan-boys this might the the uberness but for old school players like myself that have been playing MMO's since they fist came out, swtor is very disappointing... i have seen older mmo's launch with allot less bugs and not giving the feeling the game isn't finished like swtor does...

I don't usually post on forums when I quit an MMO, but seeing Biodrones defending this game is more fun than playing the game itself.

To the OP, no.

you think this game was hyped to hell look at GW2

the response to any argument on any gaming forum regardless of the actual game being an MMO or not is

"GW2 can't come out soon enough"

like its the second coming of jesus or something.

GW2 is actually the second coming of Jesus. In fact it's God descending from the heavens to apologize to the world for what WOW did to the genre.

In fact after the press beta this weekend, the entire gaming news industry is saying that GW2 delivers on the promises SWTOR broke for innovation, and mmo evolution.

SWTOR is a 100% failure for me as an MMO, and it's another in the line after Rift of trying to ride the coat-tails of Blizzard and failing miserably at it.

WOW is still better than SWTOR, and still better than RIFT. I'm just burnt out on WOW and WOW clones.

And before "why are you still here?" My account is cancelled.

i think the question should be can SWToR deliver on the hype in a time frame acceptable to generation ADHD.

Personally i think that this game was all hype and that is all. It failed my expectations, leveling up to lv 50 was great for the first time but being lv 50 for a month and a half i can say that this game is very boring. I even made a new alt at lv 40 and it the fun i had when leveling the 1st time is gone, i cant even do a single FP cause it takes a hour of my time to find a party and i still wont be able to get one either missing a tank or healer or both.

This game failed miserably at meeting the hype generated for it. It feels like the Dev team wasn't even trying.

It's been real but the game just wasn't worth the sub for me anymore.

Yet you feel the desire to troll here to feed your hatred towards a game?

Know what I do when I quit MMOs? I leave.

I this depends on what the hype exactly was.

I believe they made their promise on delivering quality story with top-notch voice acting. You can craft your own story with responses you choose.

That was the signature innovation this game brought to the MMO market and they delivered on that 100%.

The rest of the game was as hyped as any MMO. There's PvP, there's endgame, etc.

Huttball is terrific but aside from that the PvP isn't revolutionary by any means. Did they say it would be?

Multiplayer dialogue is new and interesting and delivers as far as hype goes. But the rest of the experience is up to the player to determine whether it delivers on hype or not.

It already failed at that. It made too many promises, then took too long to deliver on them.
