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.


about ur light side dark side question, it makes perfect sense if u know some thing about the old reppulic and how the sith/jedi work

u can be a jedi and not follow there codes, u are called a Dark Jedi = a Jedi user who does things for his own gain and dose not follow either sith or jedi code
u can be a sith and not follow there coodes, u are called a dark jedi = a sith user who dose things for his own gain and dose not follow either sith or jedi code

this Dark Jedi/Light sith IE... Dark Jedi can be good or bad depending

questing is for the most part boring. its a mmo.. there really isn't a ton of stuff they can do to keep questing appealing for a long time.

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. maybe 1 in 10 have been broken that I have seen if that..

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. have noticed this less than a handful of times, currently level 23 and a level 14

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. have not had any problems on my end.. don't blame the game because you can't afford nice things

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. kind of dissapointing, but its not like they are just gonna give you access to areas you can see just for you to walk around

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. so you want to be forced to be good or bad?

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 I don't recall any bragging about their graphics. honestly its not gonna look as nice as a single player game, but for what it is i think the graphics are fine. and does the face really ruin the game for you because you don't have 50 options for the type of freckles they have?

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. have yet to notice this at all

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. have not experienced this either, i know at first you couldn't loot properly on some bosses but thats fixed

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 don't think any of the professions are meant to completely outfit your character, just a few upgrades here and there and maybe items for alts.

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. haven't noticed this either

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. typically if you follow the path you run right through all of them quests. occasionally you get sent back but typically not

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.


agree with this COMPLETELY. Anyone reading this, take what they say with a grain of salt. While this game certainly does have some bugs, they in no way ruin gameplay.. and remember this game has been out for only ONE week. It's gonna take some time for all the bugs to get worked out, and they WILL get worked out. I'm having a blast playing this game and I played WoW since release, both as a casual gamer and a hardcore raider, even PvP'd religiously at times. I can tell you this game is not a "repackaged WoW" - that is just ignorant to say. MMOs in general have a lot in common, so yes of course some aspects in SWToR will be familiar especially if you played WoW or other MMOs for a long time as I have.. but that in no way discredits it from being its own individual, and completely unique game.

Honestly I'm just sick of people comparing EVERY new MMO to WoW. Shuttup already, if you want to play and discuss WoW you're in the wrong forum.

1. questing can not be boring by keeping it fluent and to the story

2. this is mostly archaeology and it is 4/10 in coruscant

3. im playing as a jedi knight and have had this happen numerous times, most within 5 seconds some go up to 10

4.my pc is likely a lot better than yours. 2gb sapphire 6950 overclocked to 960-1360 and an i5-2500k overclocked to 4.5ghz. 1600mhz gskills ram and your average westerndigital caviar black ram. there is no reason for the game to become choppy over time, i have had this same issue with dragon age after about 2 hours of gameplay then nothing like this for any other game that is more demanding.

5. you chose jedi or sith, their roles in the whole universe are GOOD or BAD.

6. no one has complained about the graphics, but they should. there are older games out that have many times better graphics with the same requirements. have character customiztion in depth lets you really pu your personality into the character.

7. coruscant, walking in most of the quest areas it sound like im walking on dirt, in tarnis many times grass/metal ground noises are wrong

8. eseles, i charged on a walkway and fell down, i have pictures.

9. the armstech gives lots of weapons, greens, to make but not a single lightsabre yet.

10. maybe you should look harder.... seen it in many videos and now in my own playthrough, shadows in cutscenes are sloppy and in the world they can be too.

11. i kept getting sent back in coruscant, i did not liek that zone at all....... its really bad to make such a horrible zone near the start of the game. starting jedi area was great..... sent to coruscant..... fuck.

are you retarded. read into the crew skills to know what makes what you handicap rofl

artifice is for lightsabers,

also tell me, after you spend 3 hours creating the perfect dimple on your characters face, how long are you going to spend looking at it?

why wouldn't a jedi be able to turn to the dark side or vice versa?

graphics dont make a game.

this isn't a game you just powerlevel through, you're paying to appreciate story.

and i hate to break it to you but every single mmo has questing where you have to walk back and forth. stop comparing to wow you mindless shit

anyways, im gonna stop acting so butt hurt about it, especially when this kid doesn't even know what crew skills to get for what lolololol

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.


Yes they are. You can ask any of the millions of people playing, the majority will think you're an idiot. Go back to WoW, obviously you're insecure about a better MMO coming out,
