300,000 players isn't bad in the FIRST 2 months the game is out. MMO's aren't for everyone. People had a chance to play, and now the ones who don't like it are leaving. As the game gets more commercial time, more people will start playing. Late adopters. Oh, and wall of text crits 9001.

I agree. Using the term Races is like saying Cats and Horses are different Races, when their different species entirely. Races are used among the same species.

Agree. PE complained about 1 annoying thing that was a deal breaker for him. Never once complained about the story line itself.

Trash mobs. In what MMO, or game for that matter, has boss level trash mobs? Bad example IMO. It's the boss encounters that are suppose to be engaging and challenging, and also IMO, they did that right.

You're a very bitter man. Penny Arcade has respect in the community based on the contributions they have made. Just because you think Gabe is some random blogger, doesn't mean he hasn't deserved the weight of his reviews. I happen to hate Apple and Steve Jobs, but that doesn't mean I can blindly say they haven't contributed in the world of technology. Without Apple, many innovations you take for granted would never have existed. Now, maybe PE hasn't done something REVOLUTIONARY, but I can think of one thing they do that deserves respect. PAX.

First, since when does a game need to be innovative for it to be good? Is there some kind of rule I wasn't aware of? Many people complain about Wow clone syndrome, but then never mention any actual faults. Could that be because there isn't any? There's a reason Wow is the greatest MMO in history, and you can't blame Bioware for copying. But that's not what this is about. Since you don't actually mention ANY fault with the game, just that it's not innovative, i'm lead to believe this is just a sad cry for attention. But that's all it's ever been. Whenever I see a Xugos thread, which have been around since I joined about a year ago, all he's ever done is QQ and ignore rational and valid replies. But i'll bite anyways, because i'm bored. The only true and meaningful innovation Bioware promised was story. Now, this is up for personal interpretation, and you'll probably disagree because I know you, but I believe they succeeded fantastically. In Wow, I could feel the level grind. I never felt like I was involved in the story. It was always "Oh hey, random passer by, wana help me out?" In this game, I actually feel like my actions are making a difference, and I have, more or less, a purpose for traveling to each planet, in the form of the class story line. They do a wonderful job of creating the RP feeling that all past MMO's were missing. They also innovated on the crafting. The skills they offer are much more diverse and fun to level than in Wow or any past MMO. Instead of walking around picking flowers, i'm doing my job and saving the galaxy. I'm really getting tired of all the people on these forums. The QQ level is off the charts. It's fine that you have an opinion Xugos, but please stop stating them as if they're fact, when they're not. You've been on these forums too long. Don't you think you've gotten enough attention?

As you reach each new planet, you will find the amount of levels you're ahead starts to decrease. I noticed (as a republic) that I was around 4 levels higher than suggested when I reached Taris, around 3 when I reached Tatooine, 2 when I reached Nar Shadaa, and now i'm currently level 32 on Balmorra, which is 1 or so higher than suggested. All of this with me doing every single bonus/side/heroic group quests, along with the class quests.

except Bioware has the power to fix the accelerator while you sleep...yeah.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

"snail's pace" by who's merit? Yours? And what merit is that, exactly? How do you know they aren't doing it as fast as they can? Oh, because they aren't doing it fast enough for you? ****.

Making an MMO such as TOR is different than producing some neat mods from Python.

You and all these QQ'ers are INFURIATING. If you are a better coder than Bioware, why are you not working for them or another equally large company? This game is big - bigger than anything you have ever done probably, 300 million $s and 1 million subs big. Unless you fully understand the work that goes in to managing a game this large, your opinion walks a thin line full of questionable merit. But that isn't what bugs me most! No, it's you people, who think you know what you're talking about, and provide opinions as fact, when they AREN'T. Either play the game or don't. This thread is pointless and Bioware doesn't care, and neither do I. Kthxbai.

What does it mean??!!?!

I don't care if you're a programmer. Prove to me that you have participated in a game release that caters to 1 million + people. You haven't? Then your experience has no merit.

I love how you continue to call others kids when your own disregard for the English language puts you at around a 4th grade level. That aside, as I've said before, when you reach the age to work, you will see that your opinion is not everyone else's, so please stop stating them as if they are.

You're probably use to Wow and its mass of players. A 7 year old game with 11 million subs vs a 3 week old game with 1 million subs. Your expectations are too high IMO.

I'm too tired from reading everyone else's walls of text complaining about Bugs and this conspiracy theory they seem to have to fully read yours, sorry. As has been said many times before, Bugs take time to fix, and the bigger the bug, the longer it takes to fix. You don't want the fix to mess any other part of the game up. Patience...

Probably not. It's not their interest to make sure people are playing the game right, cause everyone plays it their own way. They only want to make the money back. EDIT: Voice-overs are as much a feature as anything else in this game. You choose to use it or not. Skip scenes if you want, or watch them. A game feature isn't meant to be mandatory, but just innovative and there for people to use if they so choose.

I still have no idea what Cheers really means. Is it a greeting? Is it a congratulation? Is it a farewell? I don't get it

A good effort is better than no effort at all. I hope you aren't a father. 0/10.

"Research Firm: TOR has "minimal apparent impact" on market leader." He was referring to this? Choose your words better.

That is false. I play 3-4 hours a day, probably 3 times a week. I've been playing since the first day of EGA. I'm currently level 33. If you play less than me, and never skipped a single convo or content, I call BS on this assumption.

Wasn't talking to you...but since you care to comment, now I guess I was. Playing 5-6 hours each and every day since first day of EGA counts as what others are calling "no life" IMO. Yes, I can see reaching level 50 in this amount of time, but i'm not sure how others who don't have this time are "lazy". I personally get around 3 hours a day to play, some days which I can't play at all. I'm currently level 33 on my main. I got in on the first day of EGA as well. Above all, I was referring to those who hit 50 in a few days, which obviously does not include you.

Someone who completely missed all the innovations of this game. IE, the story and voice work. Skipping content to reach end-game as quick as possible, and now you're bored? QQ somewhere else, you did it to yourself.
