i think everyone else is right in saying that you over hyped the game thats why you feel that way. I did the opposite and thought it was gonna be a piece of crap like Rift and DC universe, i stopped playing those games in a week. SWTOR feels different though, I played 8 hours straight the first day i got my early access invite. I havent done that with any other mmo in years.

And as people have been saying, overhyping was pretty much the worst thing you could do, you have put an axe through a game you have been waiting years for.

Lets hope you learn from this and instead enjoy the next mmo that comes your way

Then I got in and... I don't know. I just feel really underwhelmed. I don't feel like playing more than an hour a day. And the funny thing is, I really enjoyed the game so far! It's pretty damn perfect and exceeded alot of my expectations. But why do I feel underwhelmed? I don't know... Somehow, something just killed my hype. Maybe it's one hour server queues? Maybe the fact that people are at 50 when I'm at 10? I dunno..

Anyone else feel underwhelmed by launch?

You are getting older and more experienced -- there will never be the same awe and fascination as there was with EQ, WOW, etc. I find myself, with each year passed and each new game, a little less giddy like a child and more businesslike. Does not mean there is not fun here, it is a remarkably polished product so far and I enjoy it a lot. It is like Christmas losing its magic as you get older and older.

Is this your first MMO?
I love the arrogance of people when they make this statement about someone they have not met, or more than likely will never meet in their lifetime. This game has a huge burn out factor built into it. Either follow the dev path to 50 or pvp to 50. Thats not much in between the player base can really be doing. Either BW has to break the rinse and repeat missions or this game is headed for a fall.

i might be missing something but i dont think those go together.
I think what he meant was, Exceeded his expectations because: It appears the game could be good and last (which is unusual today) but underwhelmed because even though he's happy with how its turned out so far, he's not very excited to play it.....which is odd.

I kind of feel the same. I thought the game would be way worse at release. Its not, but there are still several things missing from the game.....

One thing I notice that bugs me is we're playing a space game that feels very confining. CONFINING....SPACE...its an oxymoron that exists in SWTOR as of today.

By confining I mean you're pretty much directed where you go through questing. When you do finally get to fly in space....you really have no control of where you're going to end up. Its not like you can take a flight to tatooin by taking the scenic route if you should chose all while dodging the Enemy player's fighters coming after you.....THAT WOULD BE EPIC

I knew people would hit 50 in a matter of days. People are so obsessed about being the first 50 I knew they'd refuse to sleep. Rather unhealthy but people are like that.

I'm planing to stick with this game for a loooong time. This is what I was expecting, and from now this game can only be better, can't wait for future expansions.

We are always trying to recreate that first good "high". But once you've done it, it can't ever be recreated.

I've been underwhelmed with MMOs before. I'd prefer things to be a little more hardcore. But I'm still truckin'. I'm low enough level that I hope the devs catch up before max out. So far I'm finding my class itself to be challenging. Which I like.
