The story gets in the way of too much MMO stuff in this game.


If you don't want a story based MMO, why are you playing this one? Honestly, Bioware stressed that part from the very beginning. This was never going to be a WOW type grind to level 50 to start the "real game". Heck, the whole point of the legacy system is to get people to create more alts so they experience all of the stories in the game.

I want a story based game, but not one that restricts the MMO functionality because of it.

Yeah, when did this change?? I have seen low level characters from other starter worlds in my starter world. As recently as a couple weeks ago in fact.

Now, it won't be a level 1 character as you will level just traveling.
When you find yourself surrounded by hostile Clowns... always go for the "Juggler" first.

no it doesn't, it doesn't even allow higher levels of the same class to go back and help.

i really done see the problem, its only 10 levels that u breeze through in a short time, just meet up at level 10

the first part is all story b ased anyways, so it just wouldn't work, as one of them would miss thier story, so u'll end up having to do both places anyways.

If this is a story with mmo added I stand corrected.
that was our plan, realized we'd be a little overleveled for it, but it still sounded fun.

Just by going to the fleet, and talking to every crafting trainer, a newly created BH went back to Hutta as a Level 4.

It wouldn't matter if you could go to the other planet at level 1, you won't be offered "ANY" quests.

If you want to experience both stories, roll an alt. This isn't rocket science folks.

Honestly, this is dumb but not a huge issue for me. Just another pointless restriction in a game with way too many already.

I think the bigger crime is my Sith Warrior never getting to see corusant...ever.

I mean I'm not really complaining, but what you suggest defeats the whole purpose of what we wanted, which was rolling 2 alts already to get the same story playing together. I dont really have a problem with just meeting up at the fleet, but it would have been nice if we could just roll together from the get go.
