My Thoughts on the SWTOR Hate

^^
I support

If I'm not mistaken, SWTOR was the consequent MMO using the Star Wars IP. For those who played and loved SWG there is a refugee effect with the closing of SWG and the launch of SWTOR.

If SWG players came to SWTOR expecting SWG2 then I agree: Fail

But there are design choices that resulted in the current build of SWTOR that have resulted in threads asking for features both sandbox-oriented and not. By players who have varying backgrounds of play.

The list itself seems to send people into frothy-mouthed rages, so I will just say that for SWG vets there is really no place else to go. This leads to the decision to play or not to play (which at least for me will never be determined by forum mudslingers telling me to Move On, or shut up, etc.). It's a personal decision.

If you guys who love the current design are the majority + have the devs on your side + have factual knowledge that sandboxes and SWG are total fail. Why do you attack? It's a bit like beating up an old lady in a wheelchair isn't it?

Is the old lady going to running races telling them how much those races suck and how much better it is to be in a wheelchair and old?

Yes, so what is the right thing to do?

I hate being sentimental but for me if you were try to label this as an swg spin off it would have tobe swg3 maybe even swg4. The cu version was one of the best games i have every played, even if they had just allowed people to use the simpler nge templates instead of the 32 trees and refused to allow force grind or jedi at start i think swg would have happily been online right now living along side swtor.

But smedly got greedy and doomed swg the second he implemented the cu and carved the road to the nge. Because pre cu swg was more then different enough to have survived on its own as a niche game.

SWG was a million, billion, ga-freakin-zillion times better than SWTOR imo. Even with it's crappy combat and other flaws, it had deeper gameplay and an epic world feel that SWTOR just completely lacks.

But we're not actually attacking the old lady, we're attacking her mob of hooligans

No the old lady in the analogy can't have a mob of houligans or that would equal/surpass the population of the "Regular Folks."

SWG posters = small population who don't know what they are talking about and are from a failed game. Will never impact this game, and their gripes are not important because there are so few of them.

SWG posters = an old lady (essentially incapable of harm)
