You get strapped into your seat and gets to enjoy the ride (or at least try to) you can't do anything...just sit there and look at the view and flail with yout arms...and occasionaly scream....when you feel for that.

When it's over you can go and stand in the line again...then get strapped in...again.

This time you know all the loops and turns....not as funny as the first time.
yeah, pretty much this actually. Themepark to me = so much to see and do. If I don't have time for it now I'll come back later. And oh so much to explore and discover and see and buy and do. That's not really swtor. Not by a long shot. And this one is a pretty safety-conscious roller coaster. They definitely didn't forget the seatbelts.

Then again... I got my purple crystal things are looking up (for now at least)

I don't believe this was advertised as a sandbox. If you want a sandbox and the ability to do pretty much whatever you want, try EVE Online.

I don't think anyone thought it was a sandbox, and there is no way you could mistake it for one. This thread seems to be talking about how people would like there to be more freedom in the worlds. I for one don't want to play EVE Online, I want to play this game but with interaction with a more dynamic world.

There's a whole universe between a sandbox and a ride.

Nor is there now, ever has been or ever will be anything that says an MMORPG cannot have any sandy aspects if it's a themepark, nor cannot have any rides if it's a sandbox.

The problem with SWTOR is there's very, very little to do if you're not a ride (in fact nothing to do), and rides are limited by daily CDs and enough people being on.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?

It's a Themepark MMO.

What did you expect?

Fun?

Instead we got an e-book with a few different stories.

Fun is subjective.

And what's wrong with books? Vader knows people could use the intellectual stimulus now that apparently people can't read anything that is longer than a Twitter update these days.

Deleted. No point. Everyone is TLDR these days. +See Sig.
I still miss 1990s FMV. I miss Wing Commander 3-4. I actually don't want a game. I’d prefer CYOA interactive movies any day. Until then, video games are the closest I can get...

When fun ends what are you left with?

When a ride ends what are you left with?




Now what happens when there is something fun that never ends?




Single player games work well as a ride, MMORPGs don't work so well as a ride, they are fun so long as the ride contiunes, but once you reach the end of the ride the fun runs out too.

L50 is horrible in SWTOR, sorry but it is, levelling is great. And after 1.2 ther are going to remove RvR making there even less to do.
