Has this game turned you "off" to MMOs in general?

A Trekkie?

Game did get me to learn a whole lot more about SW than I ever knew before. I've been reading a lot of the books and making liberal use of Wookiepedia. Been fun learning about a whole new "galaxy".

Ok, cling to your hopes of a world where most players are listening to the VO's. Maybe it's an RP server thing, I honestly don't know.

Despite the similarities between the underlying combat systems for graphical MMO's vs. MUDs, there are several important differences: range, for example. Positionals. Line of sight. And these are only the differences that are strictly within the one larger point I mentioned (spacial representation).

There are, of course, others. But at this point I think you're arguing to argue because you can't admit that VO's just aren't that important, so we don't have to go over them. But prove me wrong: all you have to say is you honestly, truly, in your heart-of-hearts, don't believe that LOS matters *more than VO's. Make that claim with a straight face.

*Edit: took a shortcut, there, and said something I didn't mean to. Fixed.

VOs just aren't that important...to you (and, obviously, some others). But you cannot assert this as fact encompassing everyone. Don't even try.

It sounds to me like this game is way too casual for you and that's cool. It is casual. I don't think it was meant at all for people who are big time into combat strategies or min/max or some of the other things offered in other MMOs. This is also good.

voice over is important to my wife she and I play many MMO together but never last long (CoX, AC, SWG, EnB, WoW) she loves to read, but don't like to read the "quest text" VO help her make her first MAX level character (except SWG she did max out in skills) in short period of time (8 days of total play time) it is pretty fun.

SWTOR revitalize MMO for me also. I enjoy it more and willing to create alts to see anything else different

No, no, it's not an objective fact at all. I didn't claim that. My only claim was that it is funny to me that people feel being read aloud to is so much better than reading. I assert that with absolute conviction.

Look, mang(s): I'm not saying you're *wrong*. It is clearly true that it matters to you. I'm just saying: let's all look at what's really going on here and have a laugh at ourselves and the human condition.

Agreed

RPers have a game now that allows them the joy of RP. PVP/Elite Raiders find this game less then what they believe is ideal (it's not WoW). Everyone else just falls around the game in their own flash int he pan way. Some think it's great, some hate it. Some want it to continue successfully for years, others want it to fall away tomorrow so they can say "See I told you it would fail". Seems to me, that gamers tend to either love or hate a game, regardless of genre. So I tend to read threads like this and just shake my head.

Why can't you just play the game, and give actual constructive feedback? Why can't you just say "I hate this game and am not going to play anymore" when you decide it's not for you. Leave quietly with a few notes to the company in the exit questionare? Let the people who enjoy the game enjoy it, why is that so hard?

1 day, I would love just 1 day, in 1 game to look at the forums and not see these pathetic threads. "How long till the game ends?" "DO you hate games now that this game was released?" Please, so trite and tiresome. To answer the OP, yes, I hate most mmos now, no I don't hate this one. If anything, I am glad to see a game that doesn't cater to the endgame raiders and PvPers.

I'm an avid reader. I think I support Amazon's Kindle section on my own sometimes. I read every single night and have for about 45 years. I love reading, hell I read cereal boxes. And I love the VO because it adds a bit of life. And, y'know...I found that not all quests are the same. There can be some interesting variances depending upon class, alignment and the like. I wasn't really expecting that but have found it occurs pretty often.

So, assert away but I really, really, really wish that people would learn to just say: I think this or it's my opinion that instead of trying to appear to have more support by being overly-inclusive. Stand up for your own opinions and if others share them, they will join in, especially around here.

Okay. I concede that point

Hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate. But I hope this game succeeds. Oooook.
