Clearly Like any game that has just launched there are a great many things that need to be adjusted, fixed, added or removed to appease the masses. that being said I have played the game since beta and I love the "Story" my biggest requests for fixes or changes is, a monthly adventure update that is available to all levels and doesnt require a raid to do it. I also cannot wait for the UI changes and the economic and pvp changes however, I hate that I have to pvp to get end game gear, because pve'ing to get endgame gear is so much more dificult to either organize, complete or attempt. I do understand that there are people who through the organization and direction of their guilds achieve more in diferent areas then others. but clearly without question its easier to gear up through pvp over pve.

I do have high hopes for the game as it progresses and changes to the like and dislikes of the community the genre of star wars has been something ive grown up with since I was a kid nearly 40 years ago. It is definitly something that I would like to continue to play for a long time. that being said I think that bioware should be more transparant about the direction of their development of the game and maybe import an in game " player guide" mtype position to interact with players and hand out some of those rare gm events and odd stuff in the meantime between updates. just a thought.

I will continue to play the game with the hopes that as it grows some of the things I would love to see in the game get implemented and some of the things many people on here have suggested would be awesome additions to the fun of the game. just have to keep in mind it will take time it wont be instantaneous.

- No RP tools
- Nothing to do post-story
- Endgame consisting on waiting in fleet

more complete description in my sig

Beside the story, which is represented in laughable and incredibly poorly made cinematics and dialogues, this game has nothing to offer and nothing to justify 15$ a month.


You really summed it up pretty good, these are more or less exactly the same drawbacks I see too. If this would all be added, SWTOR would not just be good, it would be freakinŽamazing. On the other hand, IŽd play it too much which would mean IŽd get fat and forget to shower.

Only points IŽd add:

- free roaming on planets and getting rid of exhaustion zones, which are nothing more than invisible lines
- much improved enemy AI
- atmospheric flight and free choice of landing spots
- space trading and exploration (similiar to "EVE")
I seriously hope BW takes this as a To-Do list for Version 2.

You and anyone else should tell me your anno 2070 name.

Mine is the same as my forum name here Vlaxitov.

Anno 2070 is probably the best overall game I've seen come out in 3-4 years imo.

On a scale of:

Awful Game - Poor Game - Average Game - Good Game - Great Game

SWTOR is Average.

I dunno why you're having fun in this MMO... since it's a poor attempt at the multiplayer genre. Everything before 50 is fun and for the most part entertaining as long as you only have 1 character per faction and don't do any 50 content.

Funny I remember when WOW first came out, and everyone was complaining about this bug, and that bug. The unbalance of classes, poor story or lack their of, to much grinding, not enough quests, no real endgame, etc...

Basically every New MMO will come out with some bugs and have room for lot of things to be added on. Take this month they will be adding in a lot of new content, and fixes. Plus think this month or next couple they will be adding in new races, companion options, end game, etc.

So yea have some patience kids. The games has a ton of room for a lot of great material to be added on.

I'm having a great time with the game. It can be hard not to get a little ruffled by all the detractors. However, I think dollars speak louder than forum posts in this situation. So, I'll just keep my subscription.

Oh, also this --->

Perhaps reading and responding to the actual observation rather than attempting an ad hominem comment about my gaming history (BBS MUDS and up there super guy) would be more appropriate.
it's always funny seeing someone who's not half as smart as they think they are use terms they don't understand. thanks for the chuckle.
