  1. My reasons for leaving TOR 1) EA, going F2P and knowing EA. Every new bit of content will be designed for the cash shop. 2) Lack of things to do. There is only so many Alts one can roll. 3) PVP gets old fast, Small arena console based PVP....meh - gear based PVP "shudders" 4) Raids, most of the bosses are tank and spank. If you have played WoW, You have played TOR, and vice versa. Nothing new. 5) Guild wars 2. The only f2p MMO worth playing is GW2. Arenanets model is successfull and is aimed at the community. Not milking the cash shop, which EA WILL do. 6) The engine, The hero engine cant and wont support open world PVP on a massive scale. Hence the reason why illum got closed. It didnt work, the lag was pathetic, and it was still there 3 months down the line. Dont get me started on sharding with a max cap of 300 players. MMO...yeh right. 7) the idea of "because its star wars" wore off months ago. And the gamer in me took over. 8) exploration, There is none. Everything is tunnelled. Probably designed like this due to the poor choice in engine. Again, another fail in the world of MMOs.
  2. I enjoyed it, But from day one i said its too linear. Everything feels funnelled. As soon as i stepped into the GW2 world. I knew TOR has missed a trick. Using the Hero engine killed this game for any epic MMOness. everytrhing is sharded. Jeeesh, on a fleet with under 200 people. The system creates a new shard. .. yeh..really MMO.
  3. How do you know what applications people have running when they quote specs? Quoting basic IT maintenance solutions doesnt solve the issue with the engine. Having 16gb of RAM, and an I7 clocked to the max and a 7970. I dont think side applications will give the game a hit. Now... If im running a video enconding program like Vdub while playing the game. Yeh i expect to see drops in performance because programs like this eat CPU power. But a program which uses a couple of mb and nothing in the CPU department. I need not to worry..yeh? In this day an age, When an MMO has its opened world PVP area closed down due to issues with performance. That points to the choice in engine. Bottom line, when TOR has vast amounts of players on screen, It craps out, and it shouldnt. Its an MMO, its ment to be open, vast and massive. No wonder its tunnelled throughout the game.
  4. All you have to do is look at other games, Games like GW2. Thats technically still in beta, and the game runs so much better then TOR ever has. Yeh true TOR is using higher shaders, But does this make TOR look any better. No.... GW2 has epic shadows and textures, Can handle having mass amounts of players in one area and plays as an MMO should do. Nothing will change in TOR, and this is because of the choice of engine, The hero engine. Which is a pile of crap. And this is the reason I cancelled my sub, The game is sub par, 6+months in, and the engine is still failing. I get high FPS in WZ and Ops. But, when in an area like the fleet when there is many players on screen in one area. The game takes a big dump.
  5. I think i'll create a post wishing an MMO which has always been stated as a themepark MMO to be a sanbox MMO Makes sense...YAAWN!
  6. Priceless lol They have downtime to introduce patches. I wouldnt say first MMO, Id say first online game?
  7. I was thinking the same lol It takes 3mins to respec, If that, even to bind all the abilities again. It takes not time at all and the cost is minimal. But, its the new generation. If there is not a magic button. You cant do it. lol There is even a respec droid which people can buy and can be dropped anywhere. So this saves time and travel. But... no magic button = impossible.
  8. To people who havent experienced it is its a myth. But as people have pointed out. Accountability, Act like an idiot on a server. Your name turns to mud. There was MMOs before WoW, But i guess this is a myth to you aswell /facepalm
  9. You gotta be joking right? Please tell me you are joking. Toning down, give over! This game is a breeze compared to most games out there. I know there might be alot of abilities on your quickslots. But come on, Any muppet can figure out which abilities do what.
  10. Opinions, Just like my opinion to WoW, which i hate. My opinion got changed about GW2 which is amazing for the beta. But one thing i dont do is expect a new MMO to have stella endgame content. No MMO does in its birth period. Its stupid to expect this. If you cant see content takes time. Then id say move on!
  11. It is needed, I run Ableton live and alot of VST synths
  12. Ill repost my issues as the thread it was posted in, the mod stopped replying Most people on the server we tranfered to were saying the FPS has dropped massively. from a fleet of 20, to a fleet of just under 300. The FPS has dropped. All this time i have been thinking the engine and performance has been getting better. When in fact its because there has been less people. Now its back to the old days of illum. My system should run this game flawlessly. Yesterday FPS cap of 111. Today, 30 average and even lower near the GTN or PVP area. i7 2700k @4.6ghz 16gb vengeance Ram XFX ATI 7970 Black edition Installed on a SSD 120gig drive I have been building PCs for years, and never have I know a gaming engine to be so poorly optimised, In a group of around 30 people, I hit 17fps...17 lol. You might say update your drivers etc. Which everything is updated, Most people gaming who have PCs know how to run a pc, check and update drivers, clear cache. But when the whole fleet is all moaning about the FPS issue. It says it all really. 6months down the line this SHOULD of been pin pointed and sorted by now. Not to mention the delay behind using abilities, opening the cargohold. guild bank, vendors. Its your gaming engine and server hardware which is at fault. No wonder you shard, Id hate to see the performance with over 300 players in one shard. No PC in the world would run this game. /endrant
  13. Keyboard - Corsair K90 (every button programed and used in all my games and programs) Mouse - Razer Naga Epic (Again, every button programed and used) Once you try hardware as such. You wont go back to the basic standard mice and keyboards.
  14. Are you serious? Your joking right? Your trying to be funny? Naaaaaah, cant be!
  15. If the announcement is only about 1.3 and nothing in terms of an big expansion. Im gonna be ****** off
  16. This is such good news. Nothing like reading a post from someone who has only played WoW.
  17. EVERY MMO has bugs and will always have bugs, Some bugs get fixed and some more apear, This is MMO gaming. So no matter if your sick of it, Its NEVER going to stop. You will NEVER get an MMO without bugs. FACT Welcome to MMO's
  18. No Server based communities, Server mergers work better End of!
  19. Its post like this which make me laugh. When i regret buying a game, I either a) trade it for a new game b) give it to a friend to play and see if they can enjoy it. You guys who hate the game yet post day in and day out must be missing something in the upstairs department, Its obvious you dont like this game reading your posts. Yet you are still here trolling everyday.
  20. They never said it about LFG same server as they inputted a system from day one. Although not that great. The only thing they have gone back on what they said was X-server PVP. But yet you sill didnt answer why you seem to skip over the reasons stated by many in this thread, and the devs. Calling the reasons lies or made up. ... Meh
  21. Well if you read back before the game was launched to BW reasons why they didnt want Cross server. They said the same reasons which has been explained in this thread OVER AND OVER again. Yet your still deluded enough to close your eyes to the reasons stated as they are not your reasons. Gotta love the internet.
