This game is substandard in many aspects. If it was not SW, I would not even blink twice at this game....

Hurry GW2!!

I don't know, depends on what it would be if it wasn't Star Wars, although all this thinking is making my brain hurt so I'll just walk away from this post and NEVER come back!

Yes.

- mmo in a scifi setting
- most enjoyable PvP in said genre
- appealing graphics

No.

This is a great game, but Star Wars is the seller for me.

I can't say it's a bad game I wouldn't play otherwise, because I sincerely enjoy it and have fun. I simply would not have looked at it to begin with if it wasn't Star Wars.

No

Instance this, instance that yada yada....

I like sci-fi not swords n crossbows so if it was some sort of other sci-fi MMO then maybe.

All the gear you gather during your leveling is poodoo once your lvl 50 (being addressed in 1.2)

lvl 50 clone wars, we all look the same (for the most part) per class.....ew..


I dont want to sit here and get ugly listing things out, I like the game. SWTOR has some issues and I hope these updates on the horizon spice it up a bit.

Of course not. The sole reason I gave this game a shot is because it is set in the Star Wars universe. If I didn't desperately want the game to succeed, I wouldn't even be playing right now. I do not know how long I can keep hoping for the best, seeing how poorly the engine is written, how badly done and non- fluent the combat system is (e.g. compared to WoW), how bored I am with this game after less than 15 days /played, how easy and non- challenging the Nightmare content is etc. I won't even start about all of the missing features that if someone had told me an MMO of this calibre won't have at launch or 3 months in, I'd die of laughter.

No way, im not an mmo player really so Star Wars is the only reason im playing it and tbh not for much longer.

Yep.

1) I do not particularly enjoy the Star Wars setting (never have)
2) The approach to story-telling/RPG gaming is totally new to the genre
3) I appreciate the combat system

"If this game was not Star Wars would you still play?"

to be honest? probably not.

nothing against it or its creators.

I have three other subs to mmo's , and three other F2P ones going as well.



if this wasnt "Star Wars"..... I wouldnt have even looked at it....got so many other mmo things to do.


funny though.....I dont play those 'other' ones anymore now that I'm in swtor....they're getting really really dusty.
