Why don't you play all 8 class story lines?

I have 3 characters. Sentinel, Jug & Sorc. I really want to do the other story lines but will not do them: 1.) On my dead server and 2.) Not start on a new server in case server transfers pan out.

After the first 50 I struggled to go through the leveling again, I found it boring. Sure the story line was good but other then that its a mind numbing run here run there now run back to here now run back to there ok now back to here. Thats just a painful way of questing its like your crossing each zone 20 times running back and forth to do quests and tbh I don't want to expierence that again.

Now if the quests had you progress to different areas on the planet and not require you to run back and forth so much I would probably be more inclined to level alts.

The class story lines are not worth $15 a month and the rest of the game is just OK. D3 is now taking up the time I use to spend in SWTOR, but I did finish 2 of the 8. The smuggler and trooper stories were neat, but not engaging enough to warrant playing through the game a third time to see a new class arc.

I almost finished 2, started with a sorc then did an Operative. Sorc story was decent, Operative seems better although still at level 43. I also tried to roll Republic and just hated it.

With my OP I could basically stay levelled with 2 space missions, few PVPs and a couple of quests each planet if I had enough rested XP up to about 28. After that it became very grindy.

I only rolled on Republic as I couldnt stand having to go back to Dromund Kaas, that planet I really, really hate it.

Why not just join up the speeders? There is so much dead time in this game it is almost criminal, loading screen after loading screen, oribital stations, pointless run here > talk to one guy > run all the way back. OMG they have a communication device, I use it SOMETIMES, why do I need to go back to my ship now for a holocall? And THEN come all the way back to where I am!!!

I'd actually like to play them all. The problem with the damn legacy system is that everything costs too much. I've put a lot of hours in (a fraction of some I'm sure) and I'm legacy level 23 or something - I ought to damn well get rocket boots for free on that! 2m credits? Seriously I'm going to grind 250 or so dailies or WZs or whatever for rocket boots? Nah, I'll pass.

for what? Lvl up 2,5 characters. Deadly bored by questing and storyline.

I've played Smuggler, Jedi knight and Sith sorcerer till the very end of story and then I quit the game. The reason does not lay with quality of the quests or the storyline whatsoever. Even though the storyline is brilliant (imho), I still cannot go over the same basic quests over and over again.

I am one of those that has made alts for all classes, and in both male/female versions to not miss out on a good VA. Jennifer Hale, in Mass Effect, showed me that sometimes it is worth playing thru as the opposite sex.


So I put all 8 Imperial characters on one server, and all 8 Republic on another. I have gotten all 16 off the starter planet now, and hope I dont have to go back to remake these chars due to Legacy.

Yes you can....you just think that you cant.

I am on my 3rd class story. Not sure if I will finish it by the time my sub ends but I will try--if I can tempt myself to log in. I love the class stories, I love the companion system. The problem for me is seeing the same content on all three characters. I can do it once, even twice. The third time around just is getting a tad bit old. We will have seen/played all the classes on the Imperial side. I watched my husband whole class story of his Sith Warrior since we played together almost the whole time. I don't have any desire to play his class quite frankly.

My hubby and I were going do some Republic characters but I'm worried about burning out on the same old planets again. Since I'm feeling a bit of boredom with the game already, we decided to take a break and return to SWTOR at some future date when things are fresh. And they add more things that I really enjoy like hobby systems, achievements, etc.

One aside and I will be honest. I think that I'm more of a traditional fantasy gamer. I like my elves, I like my dwarves and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm also entralled with more modern environments like what I saw in TSW. Although I do like Star Wars, I think that I'm more at home in other enviroments. That is a big factor for me as well. Although I thought that the environments were well done, they just didn't engage me as much. I found al the factories started looking alike after awhile. That is just me though and not the fault of BioWare. In fact, I'm a bit spoiled by BioWare since they established a pretty good standard in storytelling although I'm finding the voice acting and stories in TSW really excellent too although my character can't talk back or make dialogue choices....sad face.

The problem for Bioware is that the game is not for way too many people.

Replaying an alt through a new story line would be great if you didn't have to churn through the same limited planet progression and through the same heroics/non-class quests. Sorry but 4 times through Taris would force me to commit suicide after the 3rd attempt...Balmorra? Yea, no chance in hell. Then its off to Nar' Shada 8 times? Did you seriously suggest that 8 times through 75% of identical content is a value add to my experience?

Sorry, no.
