Daekarus Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 What I've Learned: The economy is permanently broken because slicing was nerfed. That all other professions are completely useless. That the voiceover acting is dreadful That the scripts and story are boring and uninspired That the graphics are old and too cartoonish That the graphics are too demanding of high-end machines That the quests are too boring and typical The UI is so bad I'm lucky I can use any abilities There is no API and therefore it is impossible to do anything efficiently The GTN is so complicated that a team of MIT scientists are still working to understand its structure The game is way too easy The game is way too hard If you reached 50 yesterday you were taking your time Companions suck There's no endgame The patches are too slow There is not enough customization in the skill trees They don't tell you clearly that advanced class choice is permanent The character bodies are too fat/thin/tall/short Thank goodness... I would've never known if I hadn't read the forums! I'll now go back to my trooper knowing that I'm playing a truly subpar MMO, secure in the conviction that Bioware wasted their money and time.

geogenetic Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hahaha this post made me laugh. I'm so glad only 10% of the people on the forum speak the truth about the game and this stuff is all just opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnaggleFox Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 "The I want it now!" generation What happened to being a teenager and being limited as to how much game time you could have? When i was a teen... Well we had dial up lol I hate my generation. Probably why all my friends are older than me >_> But seriously, I have to laugh at people who complain about not enough patches. We're getting a patch every Tuesday. How is that not good enough? That's amazing to me, but that could just be because I came from Aion, where we got a patch every 3 months and they didn't fix anything except add more fluff.

FloatingFatMan Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The only thing you can ever learn from official game forums, is that this is where all the whiners go. The vast majority of players, the ones that are actually having fun with the game, are too busy playing it to bother posting how much the love it. The small number of those inbetween are just the folks who like the game, can't play at the time for some reason or other, and think they have a hope of making the whiners shut up.

stealthydflame Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I'm still making money from slicing. All you people who dropped it just make the prices go up. I'm selling missions for 2x-3x pricewise more. I'm not getting them as often but this increase of price makes up for it. Overall, I'm still making a good profit. So I thank you all for dropping it so hastily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'm in the in between part right now to, had some time to post and I'm greeted by the hate. I'll greet you with a hug. /hug The "haters will hate" is true, and we can't change it. But we can enjoy the game we like without annoying people, or thinking that i'm cool because i have attention on a random forum. So simple and still, so hard to get. Keep playin till you are having fun, and then move on. And don't care about attention seekers, that's just what they feed on. /salute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eysaathe Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Swtor forums. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. This made me lol. Seriously though - I absolutely adore this game. I have the utmost faith that any improvements needed will at some point be implemented. I've played many MMO's from release and none of them were perfect on day 1. Patience is indeed a virtue, and one that breeds happiness and tolderance rather than frustration and anger. I come to the forums on my breaks at work for two reasons: It's the holidays and it's slow, so I don't really have much to do and because this is the closest I can get to playing the game while at work lol. I'm always surprised to see how nasty people get in the forums about this game, I can't imagine what makes them so unhappy. Anyways - enough out of me. That's my 2 cents... I love SWTOR and hope to be apart of it for years to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDozen Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It'll be better next month. Even if they only keep 1/3rd of those who bought the game it will be profitable. I see it doing much better than that though. But the OP nailed it. I'm at the point where I shake my head and laugh at the people that quit but hang around to moan while saying "I'm getting my money's worth". How can you get your "money's worth" by continuing to play something that you dislike or by posting on its forums? I really don't get it. Is it that you don't want anyone else to enjoy it if you don't? Must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
