Posted because people got so hyped up, and now we look at the game and it's not like the video.

Hello fellow SWTOR players. Obviously, most of you will not know who I am, considering I transferred to The Bastion from The Swiftsure. And I know most of you will not read through this long speech, but I assure you, you will not regret it if you do read the whole thing. Allow me to introduce myself. I am 14 years old and I reside in Oregon. I was born in Miami, Florida and moved to Oregon for my father's business. I have been playing computer video games since I was 12. As soon as my father showed me Mario Cart for the Nintendo 64 I thought to myself "I had to have more." I found that adrenaline rush through computer video games. My first MMO was World Of Warcraft, where I played a Restoration Druid and a Discipline Priest. Shortly after Wrath of the Lich King expansion back was released, I quit the game. I stopped gaming for a while until Star Wars: The Old Republic was released. This is when my second MMO journey began. My name on The Swiftsure was Media. I was considered by many to be the best PvP Operative healer on that server, no questions asked. My guild (Strictly Business) claimed the server first Soa the Infernal and Karagga the Unyielding kills. Two members of my guild were the first two 50's on the server, and also the first two Battlemasters on the server. I've been playing an Operative healer since beta access. After moving from The Swifsure to The Bastion, I was forced to change my name to Krunchy because Media was a level 1 Bounty Hunter on Hutta (and still is to this day). After transferring, I earned the reputation as the best Operative Healer on The Bastion. I was the second in the world to 2200 and 2400 rating, next to one of my guildmates, who was world first. We are currently at 2800+ rating (got lazy after world first 2400) and still climbing up there. My guild (Strictly Business) is considered the best on my server as well. We have been doing Ranked Warzones ever since they were released and we now hold the record of three hundred and six wins, and twenty three losses. Star Wars: The Old Republic has been a terrible game since it was ever released. I realized this shortly after hitting level fifty. The end game raiding is too easy (hence why I stopped raiding) and the PvP bugs are inexcusable. Half of my losses in Ranked Warzones are due to stuck-in-spawn bugs and random disconnects. There are bugs that have been in this game since release and to this day have not been fixed. For instance, the Ravage bug, the stuck-in-spawn bug, using an ability and taking up a global cooldown but not actually using the ability bug, the casting an ability and not showing a cast-bar but still casting the ability successfully, and the going invisible after using Infiltrate bug (after ability is over and non-stealthers). This is just a short list of MANY bugs that still exist in the game (with more to come assuming this game lasts to patch 1.5). I've known since December that I have only been playing this game to waste time until Guild Wars 2 comes out (the last month is always the hardest)! The lack of competition on my server is another reason why this game is a failure. Cross-server queing is a simple technology, especially in this day in age. It is the 19th century and BioWare is still unable to allow players to cross-server que and also return back to a warzone after disconnecting. They aren't even able to fix bugs that have existed since release, so I shouldn't be expecting much as of now. On my server, there are literally two other guilds that I actually have to try against. After defeating both of them multiple times in a row, they have resorted to que-dodging us via my live stream (which you can find at http://www.twitch.tv/MediaSWTOR), and there is now absolutely ZERO competition on my server. I have almost considered totally shutting down my stream until GW2 release, but I respect my fans too much to just shut it down altogether. This is just another reason why cross-server queing should be implemented. The process you have to go through simply to change the look of a piece of armor is absolutely ridiculous. It costs over 100,000 credits just to remove the mods and augment from one piece of gear in order to transfer them to a better looking piece. Before release, BioWare stated that this game is about the player. It's about what the player wants to do in the Star Wars universe and how customizable it would be. They send there would be endless possibilities in the Star Wars universe. But what is it now? Spending potentially millions just to re-mod gear, add MK-6 slots to gear, and then PAYING TO ADD THE AUGMENT SLOT AFTER CRAFTING IT YOURSELF? And endless possibilities? You mean doing house chores and errands until 6:00 PST to wait for my friends to do Rated Warzones? Sure, it's not my fault that they can't play until 6:00 PST. But the fact that I have no motivation to play this game unless they're online is just a massive fault in this game. PvP is the only competitive aspect of this game. I DO NOT mind that at all. But the fact that they wasted their time and money on voice acting, designing Flashpoints, and fixing emoticons in major patches is absolutely absurd. Flashpoints are absolutely useless. I didn't do a single Flashpoint on my 50 Vanguard and I was full Rakata in less than two weeks. The only reason Dungeons were popular in World of Warcraft were because they offered endgame gear and currencies. And they did it correctly. They actually had a required gear level to que for specific dungeons. But how is it in SWTOR? Terrible. They waited until 1.3 to even release a group finder. The group finder doesn't even work 50% of the time. The group finder has no way of filtering out players based on skill or gear. They also waited until 1.3 to even include endgame commendations as a reward. BioWare also didn't realize that they made Flashpoints useless in 1.3. With the release of Denova, my guild was able to carry my fresh level 50 alt up to full Rakata in literally two days. Who needs to do Flashpoints with random incompetent players when you can go with an organized group and get all the gear you need to be ready for Denova? Allow me to correct myself. Who needs to do Flashpoints when you can do Story Mode raids to get starter level gear? This is where it ends. As soon as it's August 25th, I'm out of here and onto Guild Wars 2. Will it be an amazing game? Well you never know until you start playing. All I know is it takes a lot of effort to fail like BioWare did. Some of the things that this company has done are absolutely absurd and are extremely unprofessional, especially coming from a big name like BioWare. I will never be buying a video game developed by BioWare ever again, unless it is Mass Effect 4. Guild Wars 2 may not be an AMAZING game like many claim it to be, but I promise all of you reading this that there's no way NCSoft or ArenaNet could fail as much as BioWare did. At this point in time, RuneScape is a superior video game to Star Wars: The Old Republic. I'd be playing RuneScape if Guild Wars 2 wasn't coming out in only one (long) month. Thank you all for reading

I wouldn't call it antique video considering the game looked better back then.

Im saying look at the video closely... "Right when you get into the world you're going to be doing all this amazing stuff." PT pulls someone at the starting world, when the skill is at higher lvl. Later on it does the same thing and you see the PT unload using 2 blasters? Didn't know Mercs have a pull. Sundering assault can knock people off? Skip to 5:32 a sorc does a force push with lightning. Jedi can go to Korriban? Bounty Hunters can go to Ord Mantell? Charge your weapon up for a hard attack, as the trooper is using his out of combat heal.

Wow that's a lot different from other games.

Yeah I wouldnt say evolved looks like the game went backwards. Also if you listen he said "We don't want many people beating on one target." Isn't that all PvE is?

So many skills that I see aren't in game, and the things the dev's say are not what the game is like at all.

Why do you say "Marauders"? It's not like every marauder spec can do this, carnage and rage marauders don't have the 4% defensive forms reduction, and some might not even take the 30% aoe reduction.

can someone link me their carnage spec, I would like to see what other people have.

That's the thing it's nothing special. For getting a 2200 rating it's pretty crappy.

Yeah the mount isn't so cool for a 2200 mount

You didn't read what he posted? People can just sit in stealth and pop out when you're planting, and just keep doing that. This is how you lose to someone like that.

There basically already is something like this.

You realize you can just click through their vehicles? I do it all the time.

Can anyone link me some mara gear that has a purple chest with some black, or a blue chest with some black. Something similar to the WH Juggernaut gear. Thank you

So what i've done is swapped all the WH enhancements with crit/surge to power/surge. I feel like my crit is low, and couldn't think of anything to do to get it up. Maybe someone can suggest a few things. I'm at 800 Power 78% Crit multiplier 28% crit (buffed) 95% accuracy

You click.

This.

Well hopefully I can go to the swiftsure, that would be great.

Yeah i'm on Darth Malak server right now, and i'm going to transfer over to The Swiftusre, I hear the pvp there is really good, and I know a lot of my friends and guild is going there. I think that this is a good destination for everyone.

Honestly is someone wants a PvP server go to either. 1. Fatman 2. Swiftsure Don't expect skilled players at Fatman though.

It's true on my fully geared 50, sometimes I go to Alderaan, and fight lvl 30 mobs, but they get really hard sometimes so I use my awesome heroic moment which helps so much, omg I honestly don't know what I would without this! THANK YOU SO MUCH BIOWARE!! Who needs to actually do end game things, and rated WZ's, when you have legacY!!!

You realize server transfer won't save this game? Sure it will feel awesome for a month or two. In time you will figure how bad they are really doing, why the majority of the people have quit or complain about the game, there is almost no positive threads out there. I have been supporting this game hard before it came out, when people said it was going to fail I told them they didn't know what they were talking about, how wrong I was. I loved the game, had much potential, but it was ruined.
