You need to educate yourself on logic.
Yes, I indicated that this game was unplayable to me because of certain features I felt were missing. I did indeed say that most MMOs are never finished on release, but this is sort of besides the point, because I also said that I can live with a game not being 100% finished, as long as certain key elements are implemented. I acknowledged that the game was not finished, and that a lot of varying things were missing, but that only certain key things were preventing me from playing. I didn't expect a finished product when I bought the game, I merely expected certain features to already be implemented. Bringing up these points, and I can't quite believe I'm saying this again to you.. was for me to find out when or if these things that were stopping me playing were going to be implemented, if at all. I honestly cannot see how by now you haven't understood this. You are really, really dumb.

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.
The problem for you is that this is what will happen.

If you want to play this game then you need it to succeed. In order for it to succeed, it needs to be profitable. In order for it to be profitable, it needs subscribers. In order for it to have subscribers, people like the OP need to have the features that they want.

In other words, you need need the game to have the features that the OP wants. Or, you can tell him (and everybody else who is asking for the same features) to go back to WoW...which is what you will have to do once they are all gone.

Thanks.
It's cute you googled the same word some guy said a page earlier, but the thread title was not hyperbole to me, the game is unplayable, and I have already acknowledged that I perhaps worded it poorly, but that if you READ THE FIRST POST, you would have understood my meaning. "When will this game be playable to me" is the new thread title as I said earlier.

If your that upset about the state of the game and how its "unplayable" to you, dont play go back to WoW and let others get on with it. PvP isnt the be all and end all. Personally i think you need a good mix of PvE and PvP but one will always kill the other if overdeveloped/nerfed too much.

The only thing that makes the game "unplayable" for me is the lack of hood/mask combo.. though, that only effects my Sith characters. At least Ranged classes are still playable on Empire side..

Partially true, but also partiallywrong. The problem for mmo developers is to work out which of the features asked for (or demanded by) the vocal minority on the forums are wanted by a significant number of players to make them worth looking into.

Then it's a a balance of what it will bring to the game, along with what effect it will have on other players and if a number will be set against that kind of feature.

Not an easy task. In some cases yes, it can be harmful to the game to encourage people to move on, but I think it can be just as harmful for features to be put into the game just because a vocal minority ask for them and consider them nessecary for the game to be "successful".

The game is playable, you dont need addons etc. to play the game. If you really do then just because you are a very bad player, which is fine but then stop trying to make the game easier - as others dont struggle with its current difficulty.

Wow didnt had addons until LUA, so I dont know how you managed to survive the first 2 years there ^^

GW 2 isnt an MMO with subs, you just buy the game and after this use DLC etc.

It will be like buying Skyrim and playing an MMO at the same time.

im all for ranked pvp in warzones. im sure BW will create some sort of arena based competition in the future.

but the game is very playable (except for the guild chat, party chat being broken, not happy!).

i do not exactly know what mods you need? all you have to do is click/tab a target and use the the desired ability. if its graphical mods, that could be a big job.

but if its just a post that you want it to be like wow so u can press one button that does everything then please go back to wow and you can enjoy its easy mode.

The game is more than playable, try re-thinking your thread title next time.

i am playing the game through 6 different toons, and i dont give a flying fyscke about any of the 'important' crapola you list above.

go play wow if you want rated somethings and this and that.

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?
