It's Star Wars and I am still barely logging in.

I'd never even look this way if it wasn't Star Wars.

In answer to the OP: No.

But even though it is a Star Wars game, I'm losing interest because:
  • The gameplay is bland beyond the Class Story.
  • There is little character advancement at PVE end game
  • The planets feel like they have no "soul". Therefore I find little reason to revisit them.
Supporter of having the following in the game:
Full Control Space Combat, More Playable Species (not unlockable),
Swimming, Sitting In Chairs, Planetary Day / Night Cycles and other MMORPG elements
MMO's are not meant to be films, and neither should they be movie-studio set tours

Anno 2070 and Settlers 7 for me

Free week at Rift, so I'm checking out what they've done over the last year or so.

I want that game so badly. Unfortunately I have to save my gaming allowance for a GW2 pre-purchase.

No way.

The raids are really buggy.

The raids and gear prgression are way way too easy (i geared to chars in nearly full rakata in 3 weeks/ 3 clears)

Ive never seen a game dumbed down so hard before in my life, no combat logs because you dont want mediocre and bad players to have their feelings hurt? good god bioware pull your heads out.

Yes, I like:

1. The story
2. The companion system
3. Having our own ship (or housing if it was another universe) that hopefully we will be able to customize

I like Star Wars but I'm not a die-hard fan. If they had made a Dragon Age MMO I would have been quite happy.

If yes, list 3 reasons why.

Constructive and civilized responses only please.


Yes

I'm playing with a real life friend, we play tank and healer which makes grouping easy and fun.

I'm enjoying the story driven content immensely and haven't completed all eight storylines to level 50 yet. I have no doubt that new content will be released before I finish them all and that will keep me playing.

Since I enjoy creating alts the Legacy System intriques me.

I'm quitting the game, only reason i bought it in the first place was because it was a Bioware game, and Bioware games are usually good. Looks like we have another Dragon Age 2 in MMO form on our hands though.

Oh and the game engine is complete unoptimized garbage.
