    Why so many stomach wounds?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Just wondering why every scene with a defeated NPC always has them dying from a stomach wound and holding their side. A blaster to the face once and a while would give some variety. I personally would be aiming for the groin each and every time.

     

    Oh im sorry.... is a game set in space, lasers, aliens, teleportation, and wookiees not realistic enough for you?

    Bioware...where did you go wrong??

    in General Discussion

    Let me preface by saying that I have played all major MMOs since EQ1 up to SWTOR. I want every MMO to succeed since it will bring more players, more dollars, and better games in the future. No one wins when a MMO fails...

     

    Having said that, I dont understand what in the world Bioware was thinking with this title. You have a world reknown IP, expansive universe already created, and yet this is probably the most boring MMO I have ever played.

     

    I am not one of the poopsockers that have multiple 50s and rank 60 valor with full battlegear, I am just a simple player that runs 2 accounts...1 for crafting and 1 for adventuring and take my time watching the story and going about the game at my own pace.

     

    I didnt really pay much attention to ToR, so I didnt come into the game with huge expectations...but I was bored with current MMO offerings and was excited to try this. I joined a guild on Shadowlands from Penny Arcade forums and had about 400+ members with 70+ logged in throughout primetime. They came from all different walks of life, multiple MMOs, etc...and yet after less than 5 weeks, less than 20 actively play anymore.

     

    Things I dont understand=

     

    1 ) I like to craft, its what I enjoy. But the crafting system is terrible. Pretty much a 2 button click press to gather or make any item, and gaining better recepies is just a random affair. No skill involved, no need to find rare mats, just press gather and wait.

     

    Pretty much every item you end up making is worthless. No one wants / needs anything you can make because they can just buy it from a commendation / pvp vendor with minimial tokens / time investment. Why craft any weapons when you can take your level 10 blaster from the class quest and just buy upgrades at commendation vendor until 50... Orange gear and all items on a pvp / commendation vendor completely invalidates any crafting needs outside of Biochem.

     

    2) Huge disparity in factions. Empire outnumbers republic by a huge margin. I have always played empire, so until I rolled republic I had no idea just how bad it was. Stories were snore inducing, quest lines were boring etc....yet you roll an empire toon and its a night and day difference. Better quests, better voice acting, ...better everything. After 5 days of pvp and getting nothing but Huttball, I gave up any pvp.

     

    3) Low population caps when servers were released. This created a need for many servers that just werent needed. Shadowlands would have a 45m-1hr wait to log in the first few days, but the strange thing was when you finally got into the game....it still wasnt crowded. Setting such a small artifical cap limited servers in ways that a lot are ghost towns.

     

    4) The planets are huge...but largly uninspired and coupled with the lack of people, it makes the world for boring and lifeless. Zone to Hutta...20 peeps, Dromund Kass...34 peeps, Nar Shadaa...19 peeps...etc. These planets are huge, yet you are lucky to run across anyone during your adventures.

     

    5) Recycled mobs. Not near as bad as the Final Fantasy series, but my goodness...Im killing the exact same looking packs of mobs at level 39 that I was at level 1, same packs too. 3 normal mobs vs 2 normal and 1 silver mob, vs 1 gold mob....it almost never changes. After awhile it gets very old killing the exact same mobs for the entirity of the game.

     

    6) Weapons / Armor basically dont change. I can only make weapons up to level 39, but my blasters never change, sniper rifles look mostly the same, assault rifles...same story, nothing sets you apart. There is no path of progression in my charecters growth. In large part I look exactly the same at level 40 as I do at level 10.

     

    7) UI. It cant even be resized or moved...how was this overlooked? Dont need mods or anything, but simply being able to move elements around would be nice. The UI is where you spend the majority of the game time, and there is no excuse for how bad it is.

     

    8) GTN...Lord have mercy at the number of steps you have to go through to find anything, most people dont even use it since it is so cumbersome.

     

    9) Combat delay reactions. When I press a button I expect something to happen, not have a .5sec delay on all actions. It makes the game not seem fluid at all.

     

     

    There are plenty more issues, but I just wanted to post something constructive other than LULZITSUX or something.

     

    I just dont understand with a mammoth IP, darn near unlimited budget, and millions of potential long term customers crying for something new, that you learned nothing from the success and failures of past mmo games and incorporate the positives and throw out the negatives.

     

    This game has a great story element that is not present in many MMOs today and it is presented pretty well for the most part, but thats about the extent of anything positive and unique about this game.

     

    I feel this was a huge opportunity squandered and it sucks.

     

    I dont care what sales numbers are released, anyone can zone into the world and realize their guilds are shrinking, friends lists are disappearing, and worlds are desolate, and this makes me sad. I want SWTOR to succeed and thus will keep both accounts active just to do my part since 30 bucks a month is nothing, but yall have a long way to go and the exodus is already starting and there is never a 2nd chance to make a first impression :(

     

    Because clearly 1.7 million active subscriptions is considered ''gone wrong''.

    [Official High Resolution Textures Post] Can we get a clarification on this?

    Bioware Devs,

     

    I am posting this with the best of intentions. If you are going to develop high resolution textures please do so at 100% (advertisement quality) textures. If you are going to do it, do it right.

     

    On a side note please fix your shadows. Shadows appear blocky and also flicker on buildings, ships, trees, ect.

     

    I also recommend improving your Anti-Aliasing. Up close AA looks decent but the effect begins to decline at a certain distance.

     

    I know these are not the most pressing issues in the game but they are the things people notice right from the start.

     

    Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this post.

     

     

    Tumpai,

    Cancelling Subscription

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by tumpai

    This will be another Troll thread, everyone will hate, say something rude. Etc etc. wth ever.

    Just wanted to say i'm going to cancel subscription until they fix the lag, ability delay, and end game pvp.

    I'm not QQing about how bad the game is. I would love to see this game progress and i believe it has the potential. But i can't afford the monthly payments for a game that I can't play because the lag is to bad. Warzones especially. So goodluck to everyone and i hope to come back soon. :)

    1982 e.t. was a highly hyped and expensive video game based on a movie. it sold well but not enough and it killed atari. overhyped and largely unplayable game sound famillar.

     

     

    to the trolls i am not a wow fanboy. played it twice free trial and i didnt like it. I love sw have seen the movies hundreds of times and have passed my love of it to my sons. kotor is my fav game of all time. *** happened to this game:(

    i5 2500k running at 70c?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Just installed a core i5 2500k. It's idle at ~35c and up to 73c in ToR. Any ideas on the issue?

     

    I was thinking I could pop this thing in and crack it up to 4.0ghz easy. /wrong.

     

    It's not overclocked, HS/Fan is XIGMATEK LOKI SD963.

     

    also check your settings in the bios to see if your votages are at stock... dosnt hurt to look at everything.

    Why make excuses For MMO's at launch?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Well what i keep reading in these threads is mostly people making excuses for MMO's at launch, In my understanding MMO means Massivly Multiplayer Online. Soo why do people make excuses for MMO's at launch?

     

    When we buy an MMO game, we do not buy it for constant bugs and things not working as they should. People make too many excuses for these companies and developers of these games.

     

    Does not matter what excuses are going to be said in this thread. I bought this game for fun and it should not matter if i buy this game at launch, or 6 months after launch i should get the same experiance there is no excuse for that.

     

    What is the point of BETA for soo long if launch is not going to be perfect (or atleast close)

     

    People giving theses companies the excuse of ''ALL MMO'S ARE THE SAME AT LAUNCH'' is not the answer. Giving them this excuse lets them bring out MMO's before they are actually ready giving profit from a game that is still in BETA stages.

     

    SWTOR BETA TESTING

     

    I have read muliple threads about BW not fixing bugs that were reported in BETA and the bugs are still in game, I blame mostly the '' ALL MMO'S ARE THE SAME AT LAUNCH EXCUSES'' without these the companies and developers would work harder to get the MMO up to scratch before launch.

     

    Ok soo i know i am going to get people hating my opinions and soo on but who agrees with me and why ????????

     

    Thanks for your time and patiance this was bigger than i thought i would have been :)

     

    may the force be with u all :)

     

    shouldnt your free month be done?

    Anyone else was overhyped by this game?

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by tumpai

    Well at least I was. Not saying that this game is bad I was just hoping more than I got.

    In fact I enjoyed lvling till I completed act 1 then my class quest got even more boring than most of side quests.

     

    Things what I was hoping but I did not get:

    Space: Spaceships were really most disappointing thing in this game, space missions?Even miniclip games are better:/ I was hoping that you could like buy stuff to your ship like new table or something like that even it is unnecessary it would be awesome!:) + like buying different ships and having space battles agains other players and explore space finding cool rare stuff and so on :p

     

    PVP/Combat: I was really hoping pvp to be to much like battlefront 2 :<

    Oh I so loved battlefront 2 gameplay :p and same to combat. I got this feeling about swtor combat http://i.imgur.com/UmcMV.jpg ^^

     

    MMO: really you could remove one ''M'' since this doesn't not feel mmo, I lvled along nearly whole time only thing what felt like in mmo was guild chat :p, + all planets are full on npc what are as boring as rocks since they just are there and u cant even click them O.o

     

    Factions: This really ruined pvp, it would be way cooler if you would start as neutral and you could join to republic or empire and even at max lvl you could betray your faction and get into other faction, oh really I would have loved that one!

     

    Oh well this game is still fine game but Idk. Just not for me :D

    (Well why I posted this? Like someone care? Idk I just wanted to say what I thing about this game. Much potential but missing a lot of cool things, but maybe some cool stuff comes by patches but at least for me to late since gw2 is coming before swtor has changed enough for me ^^)

     

    (Sry about bad eng, since it is my 3rd language)

     

    +1 thing more what you would want to this game what u did not get?

     

    wait what????? you say it dosnt feel like an mmo but you want it to be more like a multi player game that plays like a first person shooter??????????????????? fail
