Allrite i'm not going to write a novel now , just noticed alotta people complaining about "feeling alone"
Reason for that is pretty simple actually : There NO grinding / grind spots at all , in WoW and many many other mmorpgs you HAVE to go out and farm resources for crafting in the world , or hunt down extremely tough elite mobs that drop items you can put together to get a raid-class item , or just little "gimmick" items like the roots in WoW's felwood ( items that grew there and could be picked up by any class and they could be used as healing items restoring health and/or mana with a seperate cooldown than regular healpots ) or people had to farm mobs for reputation with another faction that provided recipes / items in return.
But all of that is missing here entirely , once you hit 50 theres NO reason at all to move your *** from the fleet , crafting materials are gathered by your companions , there are no factions u need reptation with , the monsters don't drop anything worthwhile anyway ( and even if u want to farm mobs for the chance to get an epic item -> epics aren't worth **** here anyway , do a few rounds of pvp and do the dailys/weeklys and whooop! in no time u have your full epic pvp equip which is pretty muh as good as the first hero epics )
So yeah...here we are....playing a game that feels like a middleclass singleplayer rpg from 2001
Personally i didn't really play for 2 days anymore now because theres nothing to do anymore got a lvl 50 trooper and this are my options :
1 : Stand around on the fleet and do some pvp - Pointless and boring , i already got my full epic equip which wasn't hard to get at all and i'm only pvp rank 37 , plus pvp isn't nearly as fun as it should be , because of bad character responsiveness and boring battlegrounds PLUS the fact hat the imps are dominationg our server and after 400 games its just no fun anymore to be a walking sand bag in mushy textures
2 : Grab a few people and do hardmode inis - what for? like i said i already got epic equip from pvp thats around the same lvl as the hardmode stuff
3 : Stand around and do crafting - what for? the current crafting system becomes obsolete after hitting lvl 50 except biochem ( which i have and yeah i pretty much have most worthwhile epic stim recipes , no more reason to do any more than that )
4 : Organize a group for Raid content - Can't be bothered to go with randoms cuz most people i met so far are either idiots or nice people without any skill tho and i'm not in the mood for a 5 hour wipefest ( and yes i AM in a guild but most of them are the latter of the just mentioned sentence )
So as you can see theres just no reason at all to actually set foot on some planet to do something.
And this will break this games neck in the long run , that i'm sure of. ( as well as the bugs , the shoddy visuals that "work as intended" , the lack of faction balance , the pointless crafting system , the ****** hero engine used for this game that can't handle **** , and loads of other small things here and there most players start to notice bit by bit , and that are already discussed and spread around this forum )
Oh and no i'm not a hater , quite the opposite i would say i'm a bioware fanboy ( tho i HATE EA for quite a few years already ) i played pretty much every bioware game they've ever released and most of them i played more than 20 times bcuz the baldurs gate saga and NWN and mass effect just never get old.
But THIS....well lets just say i'm really dissapointed in BW for this piece of junk
Oh and sry for any misspelling and/or bad grammar i'm a german
