The question of the month: Will you keep your subscription up? and why?

Will you keep your subscription up? and why?

Uhh.. NO. Ebon Hawk has a fleet population of over 100 almost every day. Several other servers do, too. Including WC ones.

most toons still bugged, and tonight on saturday night, its dead 70 imps... 1.2 blah.

If they fix bugs and sort pop out. Soa bugged, D7 bugged Hk47 bugged, toons animation bugged.

not fun when you play 4 hour's i keep meeting them... infraction incoming


edit sli still dont work, But thats my PC, ilum dead... blah

lol because 100 people is considerated "populated" in this game, i thought this was an MMO.

And then what about on the planets, yesterday night on my server, around 8-9 pm, peak time, 90 people on the fleet, 14 on Taris, 17 on Tatooine, 8 on Balmorra, 11 on Hoth and that's only for the planets i checked, so even if there is a few more people on the fleet that doesn't really help for finding groups to do heroics on planets, oh yea and this is on a server that Bioware/EA consider Standard, i would say light or very light but for them this is Standard lol.

Background: solo and pve only. No heroics, flashpoints, operations, pvp, etc. I like playing alone at my own pace. I'm female and I play only female characters.

Since the beginning of february I've played both sith classes, an agent and a smuggler to level 49,48,46,49 and finished their class quests and the romance on each one. I've played a bounty hunter to 33 and another agent to 25. I stopped playing the Jedi consular at 12 or something.

Why I'm cancelling:
- I'm usually 2-4 levels below the recommended level for a planet's quests. Not that that's a problem since my agent managed to finished the class quests at 46. However, to even get to to that level I had to do a lot of 'bonus' quests. And they're tedeous. Extremely so even.

Killing x/y monsters where 'y' can be as high as 75 is sadism. Only to get to stage 2 where you have to do it all again. Seriously? Every quest with the word 'bonus' in it needs to be scrapped. Side quests as well as bonus series. They're really bad.

- Jedi classes do not interest me (I've tried) as they are like playing a nun with a flashy stick (sentinel). Or a nun with a bag of marbles (sage). They might be according to lore but they're simply not fun. No personality whatsoever.

- Republic was okay the first time as a smuggler, at least I got to flirt some, but I don't want to play that side again. The NPC's are way too needy. The quests are too 'goody-two-shoes' and not personal enough. Rather bland.

- The Empire side was far more interesting and I had a lot of fun with that side at first, personal and emotional struggle was superbly done with the imperial agent. Both sith stories were nicely done as well. (I didn't like the bountyhunter story but I find it difficult to see the point in hunting people for glory).

Unfortunately, if I'm going to have to do all the solo quests on the empire side on each planet for the 5th time in the exact same order only for the class stories, I'm going to scream...

The things that were fun and kept me playing this long were the class quests and the companion romances (not Vector, he was awful. Why pick an ant as a romance option? It's creepy). There was however a noticeable lack of flirt options with a female character. Girls like to have fun too you know?

- Killing tons of trash monsters over and over just to get high enough level to be able to continue the class story is extremely tedious.


tl;dr?

- bonus missions are tedious and need to be scrapped.
- the game is repetitive and possesses little replay value.
- the few class quests/romances/flirts in pve aren't enough to keep me playing another character.
- female gamers want to have fun too (more flirts!) Why the bias towards male gamers?
- republic, in particular jedi, are boring and nun-with-a-stick bland.

I don't think patch 1.2 will be enough to keep me interested, there's just not enough pve solo story content from what I've heard.

Best of luck to you but I'll be waiting for The Secret World now.

I've just finished cancelling my subscription. This is what I put in the cancellation reason box, do with it what you want.



p.s. I forgot to mention the ridiculously long loading screens as well as the time sinks involved in moving from planet to ship to planet.

Yeah... with all those it's apparent that MMOs just aren't your style. Hope you can have fun wherever you go!
