This is a feeling a LOT of people are getting. Unfortunately because Bioware has very little multiplayer, let alone MMO experience, the game was clearly built off a singe-player based experience. It plays too much like a single played game. I assume Bioware/EA is hoping people will play simply because of the story, but that is unlikely. I hope improvements come soon, the game desperately needs them already.

every mmo is a repackaged WoW.

got it for free, playing for fun.

i too was very disappointed in this game and will probably be canceling my sub. huge waste of 60$ ><

The game has potential if they fix a lot of the issues with it. I just think they were hoping the Star Wars IP would carry them a little too hard.

Old Star War Galaxies was a GREAT Star Wars MMO. 99% of everything in the game was player crafted, it was incredible, as well as the player cities. I think going back to the drawing board and adding a few of those missing elements would help a lot.
I also think a lot of people compared it to SWG off the bat, hoping for a similar experience, and it just didn't happen.

We have the few people who hate this game posting in this thread.

For those reading, their opinions are the opinions of the extremly small minority. They should to back to WoW i'd they want a mindles MMO.

Actually they're not. Nor have I played WoW in the last 4~ months, give or take.

The game is just not as well constructed as you're pretending it to be.

Like wow was anygood on the first week of release.
Every gamed need a little bit of time to improve

questing is for the most part boring.

a lot of crew skills nodes are broken so you have to pay companions to go and skill you up and at low level that is not what you need credits for.

character models, for 2011, are a joke they are worse than dragon age ONE.

dialogue is buggy often in questing often pausing between lines for 5-10 seconds.

after some time SWToR becomes choppy and slow on my pc, which it shouldnèt I am far beyond the MAX requirements and I even have my shit overclocked.

while some areas are beautiful and vast, it is a false vastness. Like coruscant or whatever it is called is MASSIVE but not really because you see the city and are only allowed to really walk 10% of it.

a big downer for me is that you can choose to be light side or dark side on either republic or imperial. Which makes the least amount of sense when you are a jedi knight/counselar or their sith equivalent and are leveling up in the dark/light side respectively. You shouldn't be able to level into the dark side as a jedi or light side as a sith it makes no sense.

graphics are ok, bioware rally doesn't push the graphics, only the story... which is fine but referring to my gripe about character models.... and in dragon age you had heavy customization of your face.... why not bring that to swtor? or body sliders? or better makeup/complexion

sound effects can be vary.... bland and misplaced. Like I am walking on metal plates and it sound like i am walking on dirt, or walking on grass in some areas and it sound like I am walking on metal.

i have had a few flashpoint bugs that just outright broke the instance, like falling through the floor and unable to move so... logout and back in and redo the whole instance all over.

fair availability of weaponry...... im a jedi.... an armstech..... cant make a single lightsabre..... was level 17 using my beginner lightsaber and the offhand you get for going sentinel..... could make vibroblades but no "sockets" so.... they suck...... go to the coruscant commendations vendor..... 5-6 dark side 1 sabres mh/oh...... 1 light side 1 sabre... mh only..... GGGGGG

another graphics thing..... shadows are choppy as fuck, a lot of the time you can see the big ass pixel edges and I have my graphics set to max.

another quest problem..... i get sent to an area and i get some quests for the area..... i get started on the area.. almost done, find a few more quest givers that make me go almost all the way back to the beginning and get stuff.... makes me run THERE back THERE back THERE back. what does this look like? WORLD OF WARCRAFT QUESTING.



just SOME issues with a game thatis made by a damn good developer that is released in 2011 after years of work.

WoW wasn't nearly as "bad" as TOR was upon release. I'm fully aware the game could improve with time, I just don't see it as a good purchase currently.

This needs shako/10
