swtor-epic experience or epic fail?

Given the issues in this game, although minor, the proverbial pennies in a jar have added up to be quite major.

Lets all be honest, if this were simply a Sci-Fi MMO and didn't have the Starwars IP (no lightsaber skins), the whole thing would be DOA.
Preventing Hackers and Exploiters from ruining the game is not a priority. Preventing you from mentioning the fact that they exist and go unpunished is.

I like bugs. I hope they do this on purpose to weed out the crying adults that feel a game should be perfect on day one. So please, by all means, quit the game.

Why? well its like this as a pve player who really has no interest in pvp or the "good loot" that pve has to offer I would much rather run hardmode flashpoints to obtain gear and to do ilum dailies for mods etc. Now this is were the problem arises so far out of the 6 hardmode flashpoints only 3 of them are worth doing, why I hear you ask, well boarding party is unfortunatley bugged so that the stealth troopers loot chest is not lootable so kinda defeats the object of going there unless you really want to just finish it (I mean you could farm the relics from the first boss by reseting the instance but this feels like exploiting so its not really something I agree with). second fail instance is foundary because of yet another bug that causes revan to simply 1 shot the tank (this can be overcome by the use of some well timed CDs, combat resses and alot of luck) this makes this instance to me not really worth doing along with boarding party. The final fail instance is the battle of ilum this goes all out and decides to give you two bugs in the same instance. 1st is the 2nd boss who sometimes decides to spawn maybe 3 waves of adds before you even get the first stun or maybe he ll just throw double the amount at you and 2nd bug is yet again the last boss has a chest that is not lootable. All these fails kinda defeat the object of going in there is if all your gonna get is a massive repair bill.
That leaves the 3 instances black talon, false emporer and directive 7. Black talon I basically do because being overgeared for it now means you can complete it in about 30 minutes and get your daily hardmode done (although this is starting to get a little boring now). False emporer is also ok so long as you get 2 people with push back abilities (I hear grenades will be sold outside after next patch). Directive 7 I have still yet to experience in hardmode as after going in normal and seeing the amount of damage bulwark does it is kind of scary :P (may do that 1 this afternoon)
So with all this said the flashpoint to me seem to be fail but the funniest thing is bioware are adding a new one in the next patch. So not only can we not experience the current flashpoint we will get another they expect will be bugged. Nice work Bioware.

I feel that I should also mention that not only are the above bugs in game but also things like "defend the shipment" daily at ilum is only doable about once every 3 days because that bugs on a regular basis.

The thing that could be most annoying though after spending about 5 days collecting 66/67 datacrons I get to Ilum just to find that the aim datacron is, yes you guessed it, bugged so it cannot be collect which means I cannot complete for the title.

So yes with all this said apart from the extremely good leveling process and very exciting interactive story modes swtor is starting to feel a little like a fail imo and if 1.1 does not fix these problems I for one and probably many others will just cancel subscriptions (Thank god I have not quite cancelled my wow subscription)

So there we have it I leave you with the question- epic experience or epic fail?
the game prity much just launched lawl u can rage quit go back to wow

Until subs drop down to 300k but what ever this clearly helps retain players, as this was said in almost every MMO since EQ.

Well yeah there are a lot of bugs in SWTOR. The game launched 1 month ago and check out 1.1 patch notes they are fixing many bugs in this new patch that comes live tomorrow. Now, in your post you go on and on rambling about FPs, however I for one liked these FPs very much and especially on hard mode.

Give the game some time, you've obviously played it for a while and see how it works out for you, instead of going on and on and on and on and on about things you don't like.

My two cents is while I wont call it an epic fail it certainly not an epic experience.

Game has no Massively in MMO and simply put a CoOp game.
Too much had the *YAWN* effect for me and was forcing myself to log on which at that point one needs to hang up the MMO.
Storyline and VO are great but the games focuses too much on it to cover up the glaring defects of the game imo. If I really wanted to play though an indepth storyline with henchmen affection I wouldn't even be playing an MMO and be off playing ME series or DA:O.
Crafting mechanics are atrocious.
FPs I found too simplistic and really shallow content.
