I honestly generally agree with your original post... When I started *WoW Vanilla* it was much different... I don't know if its the extreamlly long time to go threw Quest dialoge to even get a quest.. or if the other half of the game just seems bland... PvP itself is not as fun as in Other games ive played which i guess i know they are not focusing on PvP its self but... not having a cut off for groups like 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-50, 50-50. is honestly rediculouse I would think that would be an easy part of the pvp aspect to get down. But they just put 10-50 all together... its crazy tbh... The ppl that are here to pvp.. don't get to do it if there a Casual player... its impossible and would not be fun... *Until maybe 50 yourself* But that being said there are a lot of things that feel... well a little lack luster and I find myself also only playing for a few hours a day... compared to how things were in other games... Key things to point out besides this are.

1. PvE Is way to easy! i ran threw instances not knowing what to do and succedeed without Still not knowing what to do... boss fights were like ***? that was a boss? I didn't know what abilities they used on me or anything lol... I was like *** was that supposed to do... *Example* Black Talon End boss does a aoe move that pulls you in if you don't get away from them... and if you get caught guess what happens! Nothing! I didn't see almost Anything happen to anyone in my party that did not get away!?!? is that how its supposed to be? like make a penalty for being a tard.. seriously... if someone gets caught in that ish take almost all there hp and then they won't ever do it again! Anyways I'm honestly not impressed with that first instance BT and I don't know what that is going to say about the rest of the game =/ but I guess i'll stick it out for a bit and see if things improve... Who knows maybe a DV will see this post and suggest things to the developers... Well here is to hope! Sorry so long! if you made it threw reading this let me know how you feel as well.

I'll try to keep this short so people actually read the first post this time. I always anticipated that when SWTOR launched, I would be playing it pretty much 24/7 for the next few weeks. Afterall, I've followed it since 2008 when these forums came out, checking out every friday update and listening to every ToroCast podcast each week. I was really pumped just before getting access, couldn't wait to play!

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 growing up, son.
I remember playing Lineage 2 24/7, it was my first mmorpg, now i can't stand playing that long, doesn't matter what kind of mmorpg i play.

I play SwTor around 2-4 hours per day, and that's good enough for me. The Genre itself won't take me for a 24/7 ride ever again, because i can't do it like that anymore :P.

Pizza is really good, however if you keep eating Pizza everyday it's not good anymore.
The same goes for everything, like mmorpg's. I think most of us are, not Sick of the genre but we have played it before. We hype it up because we think "This will be like my first mmorpg time when i could play for hours on end" But it doesn't work like that.

I'd say we have 'Eaten too many pizzas for far too long'

If SwTor didnt have Story or that you get your own companions, or ship .. etc etc.
I wouldn't be here for long. I will play SwTor for along time, even tho i wont play for several hours everyday.
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

I got in on Dec. 15 and I basically haven't stopped playing since except for eating, sleeping, walking the dogs and occasionally givimg my wife a kiss on the cheek. It's fun, immersive and, unfortunately, quite addicting--and this after spending five years playing WoW, quiting a couple of years ago, and swearing I'd never get hooked on another MMORPG again.

Leveling at a slow pace is fine, I'm the lowest level in my guild and I'm the GM. (Unless of course my players have invited other people) I work and am tired when I get home so I'm not putting in 10 hours a day like a lot of people in my guild. Its fine, it doesn't bother me that we have a 44 in the guild already. Its not like he can run Ops by himself. It might be the end of January before I am level 50 who knows. I love the game, and plan on playing for a long time. Taking breaks for things like reckoning and ME3.

People who don't understand how anticipation can make something less sweet.

I do wonder sometimes if people who post that they played actually have. It really does beg the question...

Yes I have, And I just was stating that it doesn't seem very crisp as of low lvl instancing at least.

Simply put... I don't think it's hard enough and there are not enough penalties to tell people "Oh hey maybe I shouldn't do that or maybe I should stand over here when he does that ability and or run..."

That is all i'm stating PvE wise

PvP wise I'm saying there should be a lvl cap for different ranges of lvl's so were not all put in one huge group together and don't get owned at lvl 10 by a lvl 50... any comments on that?
