8 level 50's....now I'm bored again.

*Quick note: I work 12 hour rotating shifts with quite a bit of downtime, and thanks to a solid 4G wireless connection and unlimited data, I get some great play time at work

Finished up my last level 50 yesterday. I wanted to play through each story since most of them were really top notch (imo at least) but now it's left me in a state of boredom and here's why:

All 8 toons are at least valor ranked 30 or higher. Of those 8 three are in bull Battlemaster Gear with every piece augmented and valor rank over 50. Of those 3 one is almost valor rank 70, with several war hero pieces. Some of my others who I don't pvp with are actually still in Centurion and Champion gear. And though I obviously enjoy PvP, I can only stand playing it constantly for short bursts before the monotony just kills it for me.

All 8 toons are Top Shot pilots with Grade 5 purple ship components. On a few toons, nearly all side quests have been completed. Have done every single crew skill crafting and even redid a several on a few toons. Over 15 million credits spread between toons (keeping in mind I've been self funding constant leveling since launch) so the market game has been played...though not really that meaningful. Since I've played both sides, I'm fairly certain I've explored nearly every inch of every planet. Legacy level 45, almost 46 (and only my last two characters got the joy of the legacy xp boost perks). Done several flashpoints but aside from playing through the story once, I don't care to grind for the gear since I prefer to have PvP gear. Have some toons with maxed Darkside points and some with maxed Lightside.

So stepping back and looking at everything, when doing everything the game offers, it has given me 8 straight months of entertainment which is well worth the money I've put into it. However, if I was only to focus on one character, then my adventure would have ended just a couple months into this game...like what happened to my entire guild and it really makes me wonder of BW's intentions were. Did they expect everyone to play every class? Did they not expect people to devote their focus primarily on one character? Just random thoughts.

I doubt however I will wait for future content but will more than likely resubb for it once it's out. But anyways for anyone who cares and the few who are actually still reading this, here is how I ranked the class stories based on my own personal preference from best to worst:

Imperial Agent - solid story, very enjoyable
Warrior/Trooper - both great stories, couldn't pick one over the other
Inquisitor/Counselor - good stories, but both had some areas of just blandness.
Knight - Most of the story is just bland, boring, and uninteresting but it does have a very strong finish though.
Bounty Hunter - Would've thought it would have had a great storyline but for me, far from it. Seemed slap dashed, boring, and near pointless. Certain aspects of certain quests were pretty good, but overall it's a story I wouldn't play through again.

Seems like you earned some rest, try something different, go out, then in a couple of weeks you can come back and check if something's new

If there's nothing left to do you take a brake until there's more to do

Nicely done. I just got my 5th character to lvl 50 yesterday.
I have to disgree with you on what stories are good and bad.
I think the Sith Warrior story was the worst by far in the game. Nothing about it suprised me and either met or was below of what i expected. The Jedi Knight story on the other hand was extremely good IMO. This might have something to do with me reading a lot of Star Wars books, where the last companion you get on the JK side is playing a pretty damn big role in one of them :P (Btw, i prefer imperial chars over republic chars)

Collectors Edition holder!

Holy snappin' arsels - EIGHT? That's 1600 gaming hours when not power leveling. That's forty 40-hour weeks of playing this game. Including the week of early access, the game's only been out for 30 weeks. Devoting 50+ hours a week to playing a game is, well ... just wow.
Can we please just have our pre-KotFE SWTOR MMORPG back?

Doubt it, I got two lvl 50ies and three at lvl 30, and the rest at lvl 20 and I have had huge down times over a month long

Yes, the end game have nothing to offer for a player that only loves one char... Since you got all 8 char (all they can give you), I guess there is nothing more left to do here. I understand you, I got 4 lvl 50's and I saying that maybe they should add some changes here cus, there is nothing left to do...

It's really sad but I guess that is it.
Good thing just shut his mouth.

Ilum is on the reach fire!
