So i made this thread couse i enjoy SWTOR alot and all i see on Forums is ************ about Server Population, or Game Storyline is not good, or PvP is not balanced enough... I hardly see anything positive!!! I myself enjoy SWTOR, and i think alot of people will agree. I think the new patches down the line will make this game even better!! I do recall WoW Sucking in these stages and then released an update that just blew it to the top!!! There is always time for Change. Now i dont blame you for not resubing till something grand comes this way... but hater just going to hate i guess... its like why play the game if that is all you are going to do!!! I myself always loved biowares scence of story and i think that is a great part of the game, Pvp can be really fun at times .. never tried end game raiding content yet but seems really fun and different. Hopefully people respond, if you do just put what you really love about the game and if you hate it well then keep it to yourself!!! I dont want any drama in this thread just great discussion on why you love SWTOR!!

(if there is already a thread about this, then sorry i missed it )

Honestly there isn't much about the game I dislike. And what dislikes I do have are already scheduled to be addressed in future updates & expansions. Having said that, I think my favorite things about the game are:
  • Voice acting and quest interaction: the choices during quest interaction are amazing and do yield consequences. If I choose to kill a story NPC he/she remains dead throughout the character's story. Or I can spare their life and work the dialogue to either set them free as wild cards, or I can work the dialogue to gain an ally. Select NPC allies gained during quest interaction have important roles to play in each character's story in Chapter 3. So I don't space through the dialogues - not even the epic planet chains.
  • Flashpoints & HMs: They are creative, fun and challenging - challenging enough to occasionally merit searching Youtube during a wipe night. Many had issues at launch but for the most part they are pretty smooth now. There is a plethora of distinct flashpoints and HMs, and gearing up for them takes effort.
  • Level appropriateness: I think I figured how level appropriateness works in this game. Entry levels for each Flashpoint and H4 are for solid 4 player groups, while the upper levels of a flashpoint's and H4's level range are applicable for solid 2-player groups with companions. I find that microing companions during large group & boss fights that require lots of CC or player movement is more challenging than coordinating with three other players.
  • Companions: Aside from the VA epic quest engine eventually extending through end game, as well as the burgeoning Legacy system, I think this will be a defining characteristic of the game. This alone has changed the MMO landscape for me. If an MMO doesn't have a contributing & evolving stable of combat ready crafting companions for every character I roll then it's a dinosaur.
  • The 1.2 UI. While it could still use the ability to move menu windows around in the live interface, I really feel like Bioware hit a home run with this patch. It was a game changer on many levels.
  • Huttball plays A LOT like Unreal Tournament, which I personally consider to be the best white-knuckle PvP arena game ever made.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

+ 1.

Best MMO I've played. I have some irritations but each patch seems to be significant and "re-interest" me.

The Arcada Legacy (Ebon Hawk)
Ord'os (Lvl.55 Sorcerer), Naresa (Lvl.53 Operative), Jagrafess (Lvl.19 Marauder)
Nydus (Lvl.54 Shadow), Toclafane (Lvl.27 Guardian)

Easily the best MMO I have played ( which is most of them )

What I like most is how the quests are presented, where I feel like I am a part of the story.
I have a bad feeling about this

best mmo i have ever played. to add credibility, these are the mmos ive played that swtor is better than:

LotRO
WoW
WAR
Vanguard
Tabula Rasa
EQ
Aion

wow is extremely polished, but thats it. its like playing the final iteration of Street Fighter 2, they got that game PERFECTLY BALANCED AND POLISHED, but its still showing its age.

swtor is the future.
swtor is revolutionary.
swtor is the best.
swtor will never die.
swtor is the best MMORPG ever created and will be the last MMORPG created worth playing, and yes i know GW2 is right around the corner and word is that game is more buggy and has less content than swtor.

There are plenty of things to dislike about SWTOR™ but in its defence it does have a few nice features, namely:

-Crew Skills
-Sci-Fi setting done right
-Story with VA that is actually good
-Very decent lore
-Fun classes and combat
-Personal Spaceships
-Awesome Soundtrack

Most of the core systems are in place, it's up to BioWare to lead it to greatness before people lose interest.

TOR is an abomination to any respectable Star Wars fan... worst game I've played in the last several years (last being, coincidentally another bioware game).

Things I like about TOR... it has a log off button and the box was quite nice.
Waiting for the definitive Star Wars sandbox mmo...
