MMO vets what do you think Of Sw TOR

I ll start
I palyed Anarchy online 5 years and Aion 3 years
I didn't like swtor
-feels single player in Pve
-lack of meaningfull gear progression in PvP
-OwPvP , lack of
-I prefer RVR based games

Played UO Pre trammel AO Shadowbane etc....I love it and didn't think I would.. I love open world but I can Q WZ all day and be happy. I am currently leveling and alt in Pre 50 but I did enjoy the 50 bracket till VR 65 and was getting a bit bored.

Not sure if it will sustain after the alt hits 50 but right now it's a blast.

I wouldnt call myself a vet but i played wow for 6 years and PvP'd more or less the whole time so i'd like to think im experienced enough, I like the game in some aspects, PvP is satisfactory but id like to see some sort of arena (ye bring on the hate).

As for PvE i think the operations are far to easy with good geared people with brain cells and communication.

As for the open world, I do not like how planets are sectioned off and have to travel from planet to planet, i had a crazy idea where you would pick a planet you liked the environment of, Be it the sandy Tattooine or the city like area Nar Shaddaa and that whole planet be open with different sections for different levels and you just leveled there, that way you can stay on a planet you like or choose to change to a different one no matter what level you are.

Pretty much it for me.

PvP is pointless gear grind.

there is no objective or reward system for guilds, so its not MMO centered, you can solo all day and get the same gear.

Where is the Mythic PvP team that gave us great objectives and rewards like DAoC and Warhammer?

Overall I like it. The leveling experience is way ahead of its time, but the endgame is quite lacking. It feels like they didn't really think the end game pvp system out and now are paying the price for it.

I like it but if this wasn't star wars I wonder what I'd think as there's many silly flaws which are just insane in a modern competitive market. But u know there's laser swords and that's all I need tbh

Played FFXI for 5 years.
Played WoW 5 years.

I took a break from MMOs after WoW. When I started playing SWTOR, I was a bit disappointed to tell the truth. I just couldn't believe it was basically WoW in space.

Perhaps its own magic finally got to me or a break every now and then from MMOs is the trick to keep each adventure looking fresh, who knows. But I love it now.

Nothing will ever compare to Ultima Online pre trammel imo. But...since we will never have that again, WoW is boring atm. SWTOR is shiny and new. If they can fix all their performance issues/pvp issues in 1.2? Everyone might ignore the pandas.

1.2 better be good though...

Actually most people would just switch to D3 and GW2. Most of my guildies and gaming friends are on the same note.

I doubt 1.2 will change much TBH. 1.2 patch notes is really a list of "things that should've been rectified sooner, or even at launch". Case in point: the animation differences between republic and imp skills which should never have made it past beta.

It's been a long time coming. Too long perhaps with D3 on the horizon.

i played swg for 6 years along with vanguard, gw, aion, rift, and some dabbling in lotro, ga, and ffxiv

i was pretty disappointed during beta and not much has changed since. im still debating on cancelling my sub after my 3 months are up
