I have reset the fracking quest 4 times now. Still the door appears open, nothing to click on. It doesn't matter if I kill the guards before triggering the quest or after. No advancement. SUPER FRUSTRATED!!!

It's really because most video game players have been programed to "finish the game" so they rush though leveling. Most MMO's solve this somewhat by adding an endgame gear grind though Raiding and PvP. SW-TOR's endgame isn't as developed as other MMO's so those who rush through the game get bored and come on the forums and whine about the lack of content. Also many people don't ID with the IG avatar. They see it as a playing piece that has a pretty graphic, nothing more. So the story really doesn't grab their attention. I think that the players who came here from RPG titles like KOTOR and other game like it will get what Bioware is trying to do here. I think those players will be the ones who stick around to see what Bioware has up their sleeves when the next content patches come. The Hardcore MMOers will probably get bored and leave. They don't really like any games anyways, judging by how much they whine in every MMO board in existence.

empire side there is no Spaceport. There's just a shuttle in your starting base. You take that up to a spacestation, where you go in a tunnel to your ship

yeah, and I can do the same thing with just about any 2 other MMO's. There will always be some overlap in what character abilities do. It's up to the Dev to make them feel fun and flavored to the game they end up in. Hell, how many ways can you do a healing spell anyways? or a Buff ability, or anything. It's pretty much all been done before in another game.

The guy is a complete idiot. Not because he is knocking the game, but because most of arguments are total BS. ie. He talks about Piracy not being accounted for in sales. This ignores the fact that unless someone cracks the subscription server, that MMO's are basically impossible to pirate. As in you need a unique serial number that is connected to a password protected account to play. He makes comparisons to WoW and doesn't realize that the two TOR classes he compares to WoW classes are the same class just Republic vs Empire. He's just looking for clicks. Yeah, TOR isn't perfect. It's the game that has been entertaining me since early beta. Having played many MMO's I am very sure that this time next year, we will be down to fighting over what class needs to be nerfed because of PvP imbalance. Many of the issues will be patched away in the coming months. It just takes time to write all of the code and find all of the bugs.

I enjoy the current on rails minigame. If they add more freeform flight, I hope they keep the on rails scenarios IG for those of us who like them to enjoy. The best way to vote on the current version of space is to use it if you like it, and don't if you hate it. I am VERY sure they are monitoring usage on all parts of the game. If tons of people are playing the Space Game (like me) they will keep putting more on rails content. If people aren't playing the current stuff, then they will spend resources to do something different. Tasha

Not exactly true. Troopers and Bounty Hunters use different weapons and have slightly different playstyles because of that.

That's because there weren't many beta testers that actually made it past lvl 30 or so. They kept wiping the character database every stinking patch. They also tried to implement higher level testing, but the premades were all unplayable and made the server(s) unstable. So some stuff was tested at lvl 40 or so. It's no real surprise to me that the later stuff is kind of annoying. I would recommend that you /bug things like that. They read all of the things like that. It's probably a better way of getting stuff changed than just posting in the forums.

Goodness HAVE some patience. They are working on Bugs now and the other stuff like UI stuff and extra content will come sometime in the next couple of months. Hell, I'll bet that a ton of the Engineering staff (ie Programmers) is off for the Holidays. They will kick off the new year by working their butts off to fix as many issues as the Beta and Live players have brought up. It take time to write code esp if you want it to work without problems.

For years blizzard had their maintenance times at the same time. which lead to threads just like this one.

It's pretty regular for maintenance days for a new MMO to take most all of the day. I am sure they choose the time based on when their IT dept gets into work. I would rather their IT people be fresh and awake when they are at their best.

Yes, this game makes MMO's fun again.

Dayam, my Sith Marauder jump into the middle of just about anything including Elites and dual strongs and kicks their tails with near to no effort at all. You have to get in the habit of using the cool downs like Berserk and others that increase DPS. Khem Val is a great tank and takes a ton of damage for you. The game was even easier in Beta. I am glad that they made it a bit tougher, because even now it doesn't feel like much of a challenge. PS make sure to use your Healing Items and the proper Stims. Those both make a HUGE difference. Also keeping your gear up to date esp your and Khem's weapons. DOn't skimp on weapon upgrades (ie keeping the mods up to date) or you will be quite sorry.

Not all helms are on top of the head. There are many head pieces that are facemasks and neck pieces. So while wearing a normal helm wouldn't work, there ARE head armor bits that can be worn on a Twi'lek

I played a Jedi Twi'lek in beta and believe me, the Lekku clipping through the hoods were the height of Lame. No it's a really good thing they removed hoods from the Chest pieces (robes). Also, I believe it helps them overcome issues with models that have a taller and more massive head than a human like being.
