Dear BioWare, I am... bored.

Sorry quoted the wrong post, I do think people need to slow down and smell the roses in MMO's though.

Sure, when people get personal, what kind of reaction do you expect? I actually didn't set that title, you're thinking of the OP. But to attack the people because of an opinion on a personal level, was that necessary or productive?
In fact, since Bioware has more than 15 years of examples to learn from, one might think that things would be better.
Also, I realize other games have had time to polish, and that's why I've been comparing it to other games at launch.
But hey, I'm sick of talking to people who only attack what I'm saying (or attack things I'm not even saying) without trying to understand what I mean first. I let myself get pulled into it, and now I'm out.

PS. I do not want this game to fail. Ignoring concerns, or telling people that their concern is not warranted is not going to do this game any justice.

I'm not sure what I'm doing different. I don't PVP so that's not it. Beyond the starting worlds and the first planet I'm just not repeating quests that much. Sure there are a few but at least on the IMP side there are large swatches of the planet maps that I have yet to uncover after taking two characters through them. For my third I'm specifically planning to hit those parts because I haven't seen them yet. As well there are numerous heroics I haven't touched.

I'm finding the opposite of a shortage. There's been too much for any one character to do every quest unless I want to completely out level the next planet.

I agree with this to an extent. I have always enjoyed both the leveling experience and the end game experience, with all enjoyable content being pretty much equal. The replay value of SWTOR, as it applies to alts, has been very discouraging so far.

This will most likely change with the release of new planets. Let's see how quickly BioWare pushes them out to the players.

It isn't symptomatic of conditioning at all. This games levelling experience is too short, I sat through all the cut scenes for my class quests, Never space bar'd my way through any conversation from level 1 to 50 played attention to the whole story as I did find the class quests very enthralling story wise.

I completed every quest in every zone and followed them according to their set level requirements and over levelled every planet by doing this. Yet I still hit 50 in under 3 days play time. I also took the time outside of this to try my hand at a few PvP matches and did the first 5 flashpoints as well. I enjoyed my first play through till I hit Ilum and then the scope for things to do post level cap to progress on took a massive nose dive.

At that point I went back to start a new character and the boredom kicked in very fast as I was going through the exact same content besides the class quests again, There is no replayability in the questing experience apart from the class stories which are insanely fun. That for me is where the problem lies in this game though, Far too much attention was given over to the building of a very single layer-esque story mode and not enough time or thought given over to the rest of the play through experience.

Of course this is just my opinion.

This game does have a more enjoyable leveling experience, but that being said, the game shouldn't end when you hit 50.

I'd argue that a couple of weeks after you max level a character, you are pretty much done with it. I wish this weren't the case, and I am presently leveling an alt, but I'd like to be able to spend more time doing FUN things with my main.... It's why I rolled it in the first place, to play it.

I've had the same experience. The people that say that there are absolutely 0 options for leveling variation aren't looking hard enough.

I skipped the following with my current level 50 during the leveling process: All of Nar Shaddaa, nearly every space mission, Alderran bonus series, half of Belsavis, Voss bonus series, the majority of Corellia, and every single flashpoint (except Black Talon) How are people leveling and consuming every single quest on their way to 50?

Furthermore, why aren't people rolling a character on the opposite faction? Every quest is different on that side. I don't get it...

Oh please, really? Are you mostly a console player? An MMO's longevity will depend on it's PvE play expansion and Guild community. Just hanging out in Fleet and playing PvP... might as well just be an XBox360 title then.

Ok OP, what would you like to see added for end game content?

Actually the fact that wow doesnt have "class specific" quest lines but rather faction based quests makes leveling less linear than swtor.

Between zones, dungeons, pvp u aren't "required" to visit every zone in a level range to progress. Hell blizzard allows you to level up gathering ores/herbs. On top of that blizzard increased experience for previous content because they understand the real wow starts at max level.

I find it ironic that bioware sold swtor as the next mmo evolution with "story" as their major selling point, yet they made it so easy to solo your way to max level. If anything they should of increased the difficulty of reaching level 50 and increased the rewards/gratification of completing a class quest lines, ie the traditional end of movie ceremony, maybe delayed the granting of arch type class names till you reach 50.

Currently max level is just another grind and standing around in fleet stations, and he grind isn't even enjoyable.


P.S I'd also like to add that "story" is virtually non-existent at max level. Hell even the loading screen for my trooper storyline says "now marshalling at carrack station awaiting their next mission". Reaaaaaally immersive storyline right there.
