End of the Road?

Their point is that for some sick, twisted reason they want the game to fail. And even if I am right, and we still have about a million subs, they will keep pushing the bar down or up until they are right.

Different server set ups.... everyone can play on Eves 1 server, thats the way they designed it. War is failed and in maintenance mode... poor example.

If you have been clearing EC for 3 months those BH coms are worthless.

I understand that you dont want the game to fail but I will tell you from all my previous MMO gaming that this is on the wrong track. Thats why I put End of the Road as the title. If they continue down this road the game will come crashing down around them, just like Warhammer did. EA has a major hold on what direction this game is going to take. It wont become F2P but it will still suffer non the less. Alot of just wait its comming talk and nothing actually being produced

My opinion on the state of the game is simple. A solid foundation is being built but not fast enough for most gamers, the nature of the beast in the gaming industry. Games come and go no matter what type MMO, FPS and RPG. The ones that last will be the ones you are playing in a few years from now but it never feels like the game will last at first because of the fierce market segment the products live in. My 2 cents, have fun in SWTOR then play something else because you will probably have SWTOR in your rotation still. Like any boardgame of the past it collect dust for years then one day its shiny and new.

WAR was dead the moment they decided to cut 4 classes and 4 major cities from launch. That's not the case here. What needs to be seen is what the steady state population will be. IE at what number will the populaition stablize.

By this time WAR had lost more then 80% of its subs. SWTOR is nothing like that.

Not to mention WAR was flawed at its core with its emphisis on PVP and city sieges.... i shomld say keep swaping as the one thing it didn't have at end game was PVP. Add in their first major content up date were PVE updates in a PVP game.

Like it or not SWTOR has taken the Traditional route when it comes to end game and while it isn't going to have people flock to it for end game it is the safe bet and will keep people playing.

Now the pop will stablize and if they do something amazing like add meaningful free flying space combat it could even grow in population.,

if you've been clearing EC for 3 months then clearing EC is worthless as you are maxed out on all gear.

Worrying that the game didn't have everything at release that it has now is akin to worrying that your cozy blue jeans now aren't as stiff as a board like when you first bought them. That's self-imposed excess baggage. Players who start tommorrow won't care what was or wasn't in the game at launch.

I personally don't pretend it was 7 months ago while I play. I play the game in the here & now. In the here and now it's a fun game and that's really all that matters.

In the near future (this year) I could see a raised level cap with added content on all levels, a more robust PvP system, a tightening up of the GTN and group finder tool, opening up terrain maps to less linear movement, better balance among crew skills, and maybe a move toward open PvP in select zones. For an xpac? More planets, classes, races and companions and the possibility of free space filght.

Bingo!

I'm on the same server and totally agree. Most planets have 60 - 100 people on. Fleet has two instances peak time. Wz pop fast. Fp's take about 40mins for dos due to lack of tanks/healers.

I dont see what the op is saying.
