Worth Coming Back? I Thought So... Here's Why

Yeah, I played since the begining. I cant say that I run into too many bugs... not ones that detract from gaming experience at least. I think the biggest that I ran into were the 2 dailies on ilum that always bugged out.... not including the Ops bugs on Soa and the tower puzzles... those were pretty buggy for quite a while.

-8 original storylines
-Arena (Coming Soon)
-Datacrons
-World Bosses
-Codex
-HM Flashpoints
-Story, HM, Nightmare Operations
-World Secrets (ie. Magenta/ Purple Crystals)
-Illum
-Dailies
-Hanging with Friends
-Warzones

Plenty to do in my opinion in SWTOR and its only been out for 6 months. With more to come like new space game, pazaak, races, more story warzones flashpoints and operations, and also there are nice random dynamic events!

The problem with listing all those features is that people who just don't like them will find a problem with them regardless.

I'm beginning to understand better that there essentially two types of people on here. Those who enjoy playing SWTOR and those who don't, but for some reason still play it.

Yeah, but he listed ilum!!!! I mean come on.

I played pre-release and had some personal issues come up. then once those issues in RL were good. I cracked my CE open and came back. now a month in I had the idea to play Wow for a short time while I was back here full time playing. I gotta tell you fully VO quest and class story made me comeback full force here. I can never play anything else after this game.

I felt like I was going to puke playing Wow after what TOR has given me. many on here complain about bugs PVP whatever. I complain about certain things in the game, but I can never play another MMO after TOR

I think thats many who left will be back becuase, nothing has full VO quest class storys. it's just a blast to see/hear

Welcmome back OP I hope you have allot of fun times here.

This game has an absolutely remarkable amount of attention to detail and if you can't see that then I don't know what to say.

Bioware DO care about this game as much as the people that love it do which can be seen from the substantial updates the games has seen so far and from those coming. Just one small, but major, example of Bioware's dedication to PvP is the fact that they will have added TWO new warzones to the game in UNDER A YEAR, where Blizzard didn't add ANY until the first expansion and even then it wasn't that good (EotS).

Is the end game lacking? Sure for some people, but the attention to detail in the world and questing isn't. If you're unhappy with this game then fine, it may not be for you, but you shouldn't underestimate how much Bioware want this game to succeed. I'm not a fanboy at all, I don't care one way or the other about Bioware, but what I do care about is when people blatantly disregard all of the many positives about this game and that annoys me because it's ignorant to do so.

TLDR: Welcome back OP, the game is getting increasingly better (especially with 1.3).

Woah woah woah my little friend. You are listing things that do not exist.

I'm sorry, Vellusix, Biowares attention to detail? Tell me, did their attention to detail come into play when they ignored all the bug feedback testers gave them repeatedly and again in 1.2 and now happening again in 1.3?

Or was it their attention to detail in the lore of the Star Wars universe to strictly adhere to the style of dress and fashion that is blatant in the movies, comics, and other games? Which resulted in over exaggerated armor that has completely no ties to the star wars universe.

The football shoulder pads, the Tipi shoulder pads sported by so many sith (Darth Baras), or the paladin knight armor that jedi wear completely abandoning their simple dress of robes? Or the spikes and more spikes shooting out of every shoulder, head, elbow, and or knee? The witch doctor headdresses inquisitors wear? The up and coming new armor sets that are more of the same? Especially after Bioware said they listened to the outcry by the player base and will scale back on the WoW in space armor sets for more actual Star Wars attire.

Or is it their attention to detail by completely creating new worlds like Makeb? Instead of using systems that are rich and have deep lore already from the Star Wars universe that people know and love.

I'm failing to see the fine attention to detail that permeates this game as you say it does.

Smells like a SWTOR rat to me.

I Think you are wrong. I've played mmo's since uo and swtor is by far the most polished at this stage of its life. The ammount of free content this early is also excelent.

I'm not sure people are being objective half the time.
