This game is awesome

I think my new favorite part is the Space game. I wish there was "story" involved like the regular class's have with voice acting and cinematics. Or if they would of merged the space story with the regular story, aka having you go out and defeat an enemy in space combat as part of the main quest.

I also wish there was like a dozen more space quests (even hundreds). But this is why we subscribe, we hope all these things will come out eventually with frequency. They look like they should be easy to "mass produce", especially considering the one's we have are all kind of similiar in a way as far as enemy types and scenarios.

A little over a week in and I still stand by that this is the greatest MMO developed to date, at least this early in its release.

Server populations are crappy though as we all know; I don't understand why they aren't merging servers as priority #1. When I can type /who and get less then 100 people in each region of the map (aka way less then 1000 people total online in a server at peak), something is wrong; especially if there are 1.7 million supposed subscribers. Poor server architecture and design if everyone is being spread out so thin. The point of an MMO is to bring as many people together as possible into one continuous world. It feels like I am playing Skyrim or Mass Effect at times (single player RPG).

Still I like the direction they took with questing. And in any MMO I have played, questing has always taken up most of my time. So I am happy with solid questing, even if everything else needs to play catch-up.

Not sure how they spent 200 million dollars making this game though.

Bioware still has alot of work too because the game has only like a dozen space quests, a handful of flashpoints, a handful of PvP maps.

I am actually excited to be "subscribed" to an MMO for once. I hope they continue with quality content. And I hope that this evolves more to MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER.

(Oh and Bioware my computer sucks so please OPTIMIZE OPTIMIZE OPTIMIZE)

This.

Like many others I've been playing since Early Access, and a little in beta.. and I still have a lot of fun with the game. It's only 3 months old and yeah has its flaws, but I like the direction the Devs are going in 1.2. I'm looking forward to see where they go with the game.

If bioware keeps making steady improvements the game's long term health should be fine.

Of course it will be fine.

People reading the forums need to understand that a fraction of the player base (5% is oft-quoted) ever even visit the forums. A fraction of this fraction express discontent in some form or another (legitimate or not) and that fraction is skewed as people with an axe to grind are more motivated to post than those who are happy.

The forums are worthless as any barometer of success.

So the only people complaining are the ones that post in the forums? ahh I see you've been tucking into propaganda pie behind everyones back.

The forums are worthless as a barometer of success you say; perhaps we'll use a more real bar.... anyone want to discuss server population??

People reading these forums need to understand that most don't even bother to post their malcontent/displeasure with Bioware's 'MMORPG'. They up and leave and before you know we have that real bar of server population to judge how poor this game actually is.

And to the OP, glad you're enjoying it...

Not everyone who discontinues their subscription, does so out of disgust or rage. Sometimes it's just plain old burn out. I burned out around mid February, took some time away from the game got excited again about 1.2. Now I'm playing again and enjoying the game quite a bit.

Server population on my server hasn't dropped that much since January or so but not everyone is playing at the same time. Primetime there is usually about 100 players at Republic Fleet, and 200 on Empire fleet, on my server at least. Just because there is 10 people at fleet at 3:30 am doesn't mean people are jumping ship.

fair point actually... I will note that burnout is a negative reaction to this game. Really, burnout in the first few months is not good either. That definitely points to poor design and implementation.

And no 10 people on the fleet doesn't mean anything out of context, and I have took that in to consideration. But when that 10 used to be 40 maybe 50 or so on a consistent daily basis. THat 10 placed into context suddenly becomes a much more startling figure.

Personally I think BW will have a problem keeping any core group to the game unless the game changes significantly.

Playing for 6 days is nothing come back when you have been lvl 50 for a month

server merge, lfg for flashpoint tool, cross server warzones, and i am will play for years

I've been playing since mid 2011.

I still love it.

What would you like to say to me?

SWTOR needs time which we dont have that much imo.

But base mechanics are great and that will make us waiting.
