Is a good game to play 1 month, after that not enough subscription.

Expose your opinions
k? grats? your bored while countless others aren't?

Love the game, love the Legacy and how diffrent it is, games new and only getting better, so if we lose some otw that don't explore the full extent of the game then so be it, later...

No, hard enough to enjoy playing without the 50min fatman queues

Surprisingly about this thread is:

Most of the people enjoying the game consists of a casual, relaxed population with no real wish for something too... exciting (as hardcores say).

AND

The population that does not enjoy this game is the hardcore (and some of the moderate) players as the game is completely lax and too easy for them and their expectations, making them unsub.

SO...

This game is only going to really appeal to the casual crowd, not us hardcore harbingers, so you guys should see why some people are QQing about the features of the game.

Not only that, but Bioware has appeared to have lied about SWTOR. They said they had a quality team of developers STRICTLY DEVOTED to providing more and more pvp content REGULARLY.

And here's a problem we all have: The problem of armor:

The armor is not too true to the star wars universe and it seems like the devs went World of Warcraft on us. Older armor designs from 09 and early stages of production of TOR were much more fit for this time period as this takes place in the PAST.

So there's my summary

and here's my two cents:

May unsub due to me being a hardcore player, and we know that this game is meant for the casuals and is barely an MMO due to the sheer easiness of the game/combat/mechanics/everything and more importantly all of the solo content there is. It's not for me nor the hardcore players out there. I'm gonna go back to RIFT... with it's supportive customer service, truthful devs, loads of content, and a stable community plus a sense of challenge that fits both the casuals and hardcore.

The only thing keeping me back is my guild............................................. .

EA is the new Sony. Same same, new game. The big money sucks up the talent and puts a harness on inovation. It happened when Sony bought EQ. It happened again when EA bought DAOC.
I really wanted to like this game. But the lack of depth puts me to sleep.

Of course i'll be a subscriber. I'm not leaving this game until it's dead in 10 years or so!

Unclear. I've already abandoned one level 50 when the server population on Krath became laughable. I'm about to abandon a second due to the pvp changes because the pve situation isn't all that great for him (west coast player on east coast server, pugging normal modes is retardedly easy, and beyond that it's tough to get an invite as a dps operative). I eventually gave up on satisfying pve, but despite some balance issues, I like how engaging the pvp is. Unfortunately it has become nearly unpuggable, mostly unprofitable, and difficult to gear up, not to mention the joy of being the most easily kited class, now with the bonus of putting out the lowest dps. Pugged WZs are almost unwinnable, and win or lose, the cost of med packs almost outweighs the commendation gains that would go toward new gear. I'm leveling another pvp character now and the PT is a *lot* more fun in WZs than an operative, but at level 33, I'm thinking I'll have the same problems buying gear later.

My only hopes for staying are a) pvp becomes puggable again, with character advancement/gear-up being a tolerable grindfest, b) finding a friendly pvp guild to run WZs with (most pvp guilds have too many d-bags for my taste) or c) server transfers opening up so I can move my shadow and/or operative to a reasonably populated west coast server and see if the pve gets any more compelling in hard or nightmare modes.

I initially unsubbed within the first month due to numerous bugs and terrible PVP gameplay. Came back a few weeks later as a friend said it had got a lot better, but in reality it hasn't. I kept playing whenever I felt like it - which became less and less often until I found I hadn't logged in and done anything really in almost a month. Got to level 37, never did a FP, did a fair bit of PVP - found I was just space-baring through the conversations from all the countless "go collect X of these things" or "go kill X of those guys" missions. Server is pretty much deserted, just felt like a really dull single-player game. Ended up feeling like a chore, not entertainment.

Unfortunately for Bioware, there's a lot of good games out at the moment, and GW and D3 on the horizon. Being just another WoW clone isn't enough really. I unsubbed again, and won't be returning I'm afraid.

I'm a bit disappointed to be honest. Had high expectations for this MMO - but it's never felt like an MMO to me (previous to this I played WoW for over 7 years - as a hardcore raider for 2 years and an officer in a very large guild for 3 years, and also Rift for around 6 months)

Good luck to anyone who stays though. If you're enjoying yourself, have a blast. It's just not for me.

It's interesting, however, that those that keep complaining that the game is too easy have yet to actually play the game in "hard-mode", aka "Dismiss Companion". I have yet to see a single person say they've done that.

Also, once a year is technically "regular". Fortunately, BioWare has been more frequent than that.
