Yeah, and it still has lots of subscriptions because it offers action-oriented gameplay. Oh wait... Action-oriented gameplay will kick people used to mmos in the face. Because MMO players love to blame abilities, procs etc. when they suck at pvp. In an action-oriented combat system, reaction and control will play a huge role. And no one can fix that "ability" in a patch. People will run back to WoW screaming for their newest gladiator set.

My legacy name is Fisk. And I've got a fat bald smuggler named wilson.

*waves hand* Those aren't the features you're looking for. Sorry, couldn't help myself

I love bioware for implementing a class where distance variation actually is a class mechanism.

Dabih hits thread critically! Thread dies!

That sounds a bit shrink-ish, but honestly, I think its true.

This is quite insulting. I did buy the game and subscribed because there is a lot of story-based elements. Does this make me stupid? I wasn't disappointed so far. And I enjoy the game, even after having played WoW for 4 years. I really look forward to playing with the stupid people who are staying, they seem more reasonable than the smart people like you are. Good day to you.

Who are the best five rappers in the game? DYLAN, DYLAN, DYLAN, DYLAN and DYLAN. No, really, nice troll dude.

I think they should make the UI more customizable. Debuff bars etc. should be adjustable. But please, don't add mods and macros. No, please don't.

/thread Really, if you don't enjoy having at least the illusion of a choice, then please, by all means, go kill yourself or wait until you die, because thats the only choice you have.

What happened to switching AC? I don't know, haven't seen it around here for a while. I hope it lies rotten beneath cross-server-auto-grouping and nobody ever will disturb the peace of the two.

/thread SWTOR is a linear game. But its actually enjoyable anyways. When did anybody decide that MMOs shouldnt or can't be linear until end game level? I think it's much more enjoyable to follow the flow of my quests on one planet then switching regions not caring about any quest what so ever. I'm not saying TOR has no poor questlines. But at least, out of three questlines there's actually one which is quite good and you get to decide some of the outcome of the quests, and yes, I'm in my 40s now and I still enjoy the voice acting. I think it was worth it. It made me really follow the quest story lines, reading up things in the codex, and actually caring for the world in TOR. And I totally look forward to the rest of my trooper storyline, and the many story arcs they will add.

I really took my time reading all those LFG and LFD - threads without ever replying. I'm bored now. Anyways, I think an LFG / LFD tool is alright as long as they don't server-cross it.Server-crossing strenghtens anonymity. And where anonymity grows, social aspects suffer IMO. I want to get to know the people who are on my server. I want to have a reputation. I want them to have one. Thats what makes an MMO an MMO, I think. SWTOR should develop the tool they have. You should be able to flag yourself for several quests or instances, and you should be visible to anybody on your server who looks for a group too. Thats enough. I don't think a WoW-esque LFD-tool is necessary. As many of those convenient fast-food concepts of WoW aren't necessary (Nothing against fast food btw :-D). People act as if many of WoWs features are "must haves" and "core MMO features" but they are simply desing decisions. Nothing more. I hope Bioware decides otherwise, it's just that simple.

I'd love to see the dozens of thousands of threads people QQing about wanting back the companions which they sent away. I see the OP's point, I'm not too eager to make an alt on the same faction too soon, because I have to do the same planets in the same order. They could have added some smaller planets without class quests, just to fill the gap between the class quests on the different planets so if you're not in to nar shadaa, you just go through your class quest and can enjoy a planet storyline on dantooine for instance.

That guy is 35. Imagine, he could have kids. They must be popular.

That dude is complaining since day one, don't mind him.

TL;DR "Look at me I'm reading books! I'm so smart!"

Not the lizard men! You monster!

Maybe he's working shifts. Or he's rich. Or retired? I live in central europe, (Paris time), so the maintenance reallly is during the day (until 4pm I guess.) Since I work office times (around my place that means 7am to 4-5pm) I never had any problems with the maintenance windows. Daily patching shows me that bioware is taking the customer feedback seriously. Guess we all have to go through this.

I'm playing on a european server and so far, I can't share your impression on anti-social behaviour what so ever. People I group up with (mostly random, people with mutual quests etc.) are normally quite cool. Flashpoint groups were not only able to clear given flashpoint in a useful time without rushing through mindlessly, most of the people were good for a chat, too. Though I'm building up prejudices against sentinels. I have the impression that the very least part of them knows what they're doing, and they're have a very high resistance to constructive imputs when it comes to their playstyle : / . Just an impression though.

Oh my god he's a shop assistant! HES GOT BIOWARE BY THEIR BA LLS!

Perhaps many people mix things up. The MMO in SWTOR isn't missing. It's just that it is not forced. Group up if you like, and if you want to do groupquests and flashpoints. I never felt like the game is holding me back from that in any way. Plus the groupcontent so far IS fun in my opinion. An LFG tool would probably help a bit, but the existing tools to group up are sufficient in my eyes. I think what SWTOR does is leaving you a real choice whether you want to group up or not. Yeah this is an MMO, but its actually the first one where I enjoy soloing as much as grouping up at the same time. Warning! This is subjective opinion. Do not try to make an arguement out of this!

My opinion on some of these features: LFG/LFD/LFR-Tool: Would be an improvement unless they walk the cross-realm path which killed the other game for me. Dual-Specc: Within AC, yes please. I'd like to have a PvE/ PvP specc in endgame. Appearence tab: I don't care about changing the actual look / shape of my gear. I would like an option to change the color scheme of my stuff though. Yes I'm a trooper. And yes I look like a douchebag because everything apart from my effing swamp-green chestplate is white.

Ich hab' auch nicht schlecht über die 20 CHF gestaunt. Ich bin nicht knausrig, aber hatte halt einfach einen anderen Preis erwartet, wenn das Abo eigentlich 13 Euro kosten sollte. Schliesslich bin ich aber zu faul und zu reich, um mich nach günstigeren Alternativen umzuschauen.

You'd like to be one of them, don't you?
