Disappointed and expectations.

As i write this post, i am uninstalling The old republic from my system.

The game itself was fun to play during the process of levelling up, which took me around a month to do for my first toon.

Once i hit level 50 however, i lost all devotion to this game, and to bioware (who by the way already downgraded themselves in my book with the extremely unsatisfying ending to ME3)

Back on subject -

At first, i had fun in warzones, but eventually it became more and more noticeable that the same players were always in the groups, both on republic and imperial side. Now i wont discuss which side i am on, so then it is less biased, but the balance in pvp is ridiculous, so long as you have more healers on your team, you always win.

Not to mention, the amount of time it even takes these days to find a warzone is counter-productive, my server has died that much, that it takes me upto 4 hours to find a warzone at peak time, and the same for any hard mode's or operations.

The gear you get from these is not worth having, its just as easy to buy decent mods, and skill correctly, not to mention the gear itself does not look like something from the star wars universe, instead we get something that looks like it comes of of dragon age, or skyrim. The designers failed here, and this problem needs fixing stat.

Then of course came the expansion of 1.2 which brought some new things, including a world event, and during this world event, there were people on my server doing the quests whilst i was, THREE, this game does not feel like an MMO whatsoever.

The legacy system was over-rated to hell and back, the sheer amount of money that it costs to buy anything is ridiculous and most players on these forums would refer me to the daily guide that tells you how you make 300k per day doing dailies, yes this is correct, but after so many runs, it gets to repetitive, and i end up stood in the fleet discussing how horrible the game is.

Guild banks are something that guilds need to work together, so why they have to pay to even access it is ridiculous.

fact is, if i wanted to play a game where the goal was to collect money, and play Sonic the hedgehog and collect the golden coins.

Everything in SWTOR requires an insane amount of credits, and in my humble opinion once you reach the endgame stage, you may want to save up for your characters funeral, because one day soon, you will get bored, that i can almost guarantee.

To finish this post, lets discuss my biggest problem, and the problem that every other player seems to have :

The incompetent maintenance planning, and un-tested patch releases.

This game has a public test server, and so should make use of it for every patch, always, that's why it is there right?
Here is an idea - instead of spending copious amounts of time and money introducing patches that break the game, why not hire some testers, assign them each an area, and get them to play the patch before you release it, this should be standard for any game that wants to make money, otherwise your going to loose custom.

When i saw yesterday that the game has lost 400k subscribers, and currently had 1.3m, i wondered, how many of that 1.3 million, is playing on the 30 free days given to them to apologise for the failure of 1.2?

My point is, this game needs to make drastic changes, server merges and transfers being at the top of the list.

Until then, my subscription will remain cancelled, and bioware as far as im concerned, can transfer my remaining play time to another player, and then delete all existence of my account.

Thanks

You sum it up well. and you haven`t even covered half the problems this game has

At least some people can post a decent reply. This game for me does not have the requirements to make me want to play, other games i wont put down, such as EVE Online, but this game just ruined my image if star wars.

Good for you bro..........Im glad your voting with your wallet....

Im going to be right behind you.


Watching this company operate is like watching The Three Stooges work in an office atmosphere............COMEDY GOLD!

Honestly, this game could have been a platformer, with solo play campaign like Kotor 1 & 2, and lobby for warzones and flashpoints like call of duty.

Hey TurboTaco that video you linked is what I hear when I log on to SWTOR and suddenly I'm in an Imperial Fleet with crickets....

HEY OP I wen't to spend my time and money on Tera which to me is the same stuff.

Pssst


I'm gonna let you in on a dirty little secret.
All video games are a waste of time and money.

Not to mention the fact that there so called awesome LFG tool wont be cross server, only in server, great idea.

I am confused, this thread was closed, several posts deleted, then opened again - why

This drastically annoyed me, how does a single server LFG tool help those on dead servers? Bioware need some logic - should hire spock.
