When will this game be playable? (not a troll)

First of all, this isn't a troll question or thread... I think this game has a great deal of potential, I think it could be a very good game, but it seems to me there are a lot of things that BW haven't addressed that they really should have implemented/fixed on release. I'm not going to name them all, because they are varying and great in number.

But certain things to me are more important than others, and will depend on whether I will play the game, they are...

1) Arena - Warzones; will they implement some sort of ranked ladder arena or WZ system? Will they add new WZ's and get rid of that ridiculous bolstering system.

2) Will they allow mods soon? This is absolutely essential to me. I wouldn't have played WoW for 7 years if I couldn't tweak the UI/make the game my own in all sorts of ways.

3) The little things; like adding a targets target, a combat log, less city instancing, etc.


I know in due time some of these things will be fixed or implemented (I hope for the games sake), but it's really a matter of how soon for me... Guild Wars 2 is due out in late Q1 2012 and to be honest, I'll be on that SO fu*cking hard... I actually think a lot of people will, and that if a lot of things aren't changed TOR (and WoW) is going to lose a Hell of a lot of subs to GW...

so basically... When will this game be a finished product?

It doesn't need a rated PvP system to be a finished product, really. It'd be nice, but for now I think they should focus on things like an addon and macro system and a combat log.

And target-of-target.

And raid frames properly updating health. T-T

its a mmo. It will be finished when they close the doors.

And it quite playable the things you want are just added extras.

If you fdont think it is playable I would have a six month break and then come back and see if it has changed.

Hmm, none of the things you listed appear to be game-breaking bugs.

And, all the servers appear to be online and functioning at the moment


Good news! The game is playable RIGHT NOW!

Why do people feel the need to say things like "this isn't a troll post" or "this isn't a troll thread"? guilty conscience?...it's kinda like saying things like no offence, then what follows is usually offensive, or no disrespect, and what follows is generally disrepectful.

This game is "playable" right now...just because the feature you want isn't here yet doesn't change that.

P.S. MMOs are never "finished products" until they shut down forever. SWG is a finished MMO...you can bet there will never be any more changes made to it.

First of all, this isn't a troll reply.

You're a PvPer. That is fine, but it's impossible to appeal to you. As with all PvPers, you will always jump to the next big thing. That is what you want to do, I'm not critisizing you for that, but you need to realize what you are before you make unrealistic demands.

I usually play MMO's for 2 years before I jump to what's next. I really don't like it when changes are made for the sake of PvP, and knock the PvE game out of balance.

They said that they never say never but...

1) They want to add ranked wz, but not arenas.

2) No. But they are working ona customisable UI.

3) Those come down to personal preference. I for example dont need any of that.


In fact none of your issures have anything to do with the game being playable, now that I think about it.

Just a few quick notes. The game has been out little more than a week (not including the early access) which means they are still fixing things that could not be forseen in beta and things they just didn't have an opportunity to work out completely. Will things change as the game moves on from its initial launching point? Yes. They might allow mods sometime down the road, but I don't see how its a game-breaking issue. I played WoW Vanilla when there were no mods, and continued to play WoW without mods for years afterwards so its not a big issue for me to not have them.

Secondly, they don't need a leader board for PvP. Its not a huge thing that needs to be implemented.


Overall your complaints are little more than you QQing because the game doesn't have everything you want it to have. Best suggestion I have. Get over it and move on, or go back to WoW.

Game works fine for me, pvp is fun, pve is fun, I can chat to my guild, graphics are great, ui is usable. Dont need macros, if you need macros in this game with max 16 players you need help. Most the time I stare at thebars over players heads instead of ui, aamzing whatadifference that makes not having to whack a mole the UI.

Good luck in your next mmo

Hyperbole, exaggeration!

Game still in alpha trolololo
