(keep it civil) What let you down most about TOR?

Once you get passed the story, its the same old same old....

The issues for me:

Game is too linerer. Not enough character creation options, unique armors/looks. No real sense of choice. World enviroments do not feel 'alive'. Almost everything is static.

PvP post level 50 is a boring gear grind, lack of world pvp, and only 4 war zones to fight in.

No 3D space (pvp) combat.

Crafting system is lacking.

FYI - I'm not posting any of my ideas/fixes in this thread, just what bothers me most about this good but could be better, single player / coop game.

1, Professions not requiring ANY work. click a button and its done, no searching for mats.
2, Not being able to choose how many lightsabers or type of lightsaber you want to use.
3, Things looking to close to what we have seen in the movies. it was over 2000 years ago.
4, Stupid vehicles to ride. i would much rather ride an animal than a machine. them speeder bikes are fine but the stupidly big cars that don't have more than 1 seat are just daft and ugly.
5, Ignoring almost every bit of advice the players have offered.
6, Every problem with the game being something that was on my end.
7, The ease of using cheats. i wont name them so my post doesn't get removed.
8, We have a galaxy to explore and can only quest on the planets we have been told to quest on. No matter how many times you do the quests they stay the same lmao.

Only thing that ever disappointed me about SWTOR was the player community. It's a great game, but the incessant whining and complaints has only damaged the game IMHO.

A "great game" (mmo) doesn't go from almost 2 million boxes sold, to apprx. 500,000 current subs, soley because of "whinning and complaints".

Some of the complaints might have some real merit.

Subs are between 800-900k currently. Still well above 500k.

1) Broken Codex entries. Even after 8 months of being released they still can't fix them? Seriously?

2) No Dye System for armor. No, matching everything to chest piece is not good enough. I want the color/colors I choose. Guild Wars did it great.

3) Lack of high end armor that doesn't look like utter crap. Rakata and Columni gear, whoever designed it should be fired. It's UGLY. I want armor that looks like Darth Maul, Darth Talon, Darth Vader, etc. THAT is what high end armor should look like. I mean, this is supposed to be the stuff you work hard to earn, yet it all looks like a 2 yr old would didn't know a thing about SW designed it. Please, add some armor that actually looks cool and nice, not jagged garbage sticking out, cyborg crap, and dunce hats.

4) Quests that go on, and on, and on, and ohh...bonus...and ohh, a cave with a boss fight at the end. I played two beta's and got two characters to lvl 18 or so. I had a Sith Marauder to 50 but deleted him. I now have a lvl 43 Sith Sorcerer and lvl 8 Sith Warrior who will be a Jug. I can tell you right now that the questing is so boring I actually get pissed off and sick of how utterly repetitive and BORING it is. They need to make them more engaging and draw you in, more fun to them, not just go to point A, do bonus, go to point B, find item, holocall, go to point C which is a Cave, get bonus, get second bonus, third bonus, get final bonus, go all the way back and fight boss for main quest. Over and over again. I am so sick of it it is not funny. It's beyond boring me to tears. I just want quests over the second I get them because they are all the same. And, why is it that you have to talk to someone who then tells you to talk to ANOTHER person just to turn some quests in? Isn't one enough?

5 ) People actually say leveling is EASY in this game. I disagree 900%. As I said above in #4, its utterly boring 75% of the time, and mostly after you hit lvl 30 or so does the utter terror of mind numbing boredom set in. It takes a good few weeks to get to 50. I fail to see how that is easy. Unlocking Legacy Perks helps a little, and that is something you earned, so you deserve it.

6) Lack of end game content. All there is are dailies, PVP Warzones, and Flashpoints, EV's. Wow, all my time spent....for that. Again, the boredom set's in quickly. We need to be able to decorate our ship as well as dye it, have our own home on our home planet, further our romance with who we marry, stuff like that you can do and earn. Armor that you actually want to wear. Not just boring repetitive dailies.

7) No group finder for specific quests. Such as Vehicle quests, World Boss fights, etc. You should be able to have a que for every type of thing in the game. I can never find a group for World Bosses, or Vehicle quests. Even being in a guild doesn't help with that. And, what about the pets too.

My biggest let down? The complete and utter lack of focus on PvP, and understanding why so many gamers dislike the Mythic team (as they do not know what PvP'ers want, let alone ruin so many games).

Debatable..

They said their break even point for subs was 500,000 before launch. They are switching to a F2P model. In my opinion, they are closing in on that 500k mark pretty quickly, or were anticipating it soon enough.
Pure speculation on my part of course.

Even if we take your sub guesstimate, they have still lost about 50% of their potential sub base in what? 7-8 months?

I still find it hard to believe that its only because of a whiney community.

If they thought the game was great, why would they care what the message boards are saying?

/shrug.

nothing let me down. It was exactly what I thought it was going to be.
