I just wonder how many players give up with this game cus they can't be bothered with the bloody updates. I'm sorry but after three quarters of an hour and what looks like an inch on the progression bar I cancelled the update... again. I just can't be bothered . I have no idea what the game has to update, but in truth each time I have wasted an evening doing this I can see nothing that has changed. I just want to play the bloody game. Painful and frustrating and yet all the MMOs I play have nothing like this updating process. Just what on earth can they be bloody updating. Never mind... I was subbed to the game but really if I have to do this every time I log in you can forget it. And as for the one time password needed every bloody time I play or post on the forums... Seriously.. Is it little wonder that other games are way more popular than this. Warcraft never patches like this and although I get the odd patch in Tera I never have this one time password rubbish. Never mind.. That was an hour of Saturday when I could have been playing Tera. Wont make that mistake again.

I don't play that often but when I do I am faced with the most horrendously long updates. It was only the other week I had to leave the computer on all night to download an update, that when I logged in I could see no difference in the game. And tonight the same. Well I really can't be bothered. What on earth can you possibly be doing that warrants what appears to be a fresh install of the game every time I log in. Just puts me off trying. And I pay to play this game. And tonight I would have dabbled but faced with the lengthy tedious moronic update procedure I just gave up. It was 180MB with just a quarter inch of what looks like a 5" bar visible. I really have better things to do with my spare time. I play World of Warcraft and I never, but ever get this problem. The game generally updates as I play and only at times of new expansions. The last patch went by un noticed. So you tell me... what on earth warrants that kind of patching. My guess is that its lazy games designers who just don't think about economical updates. SWToR is without doubt the worst of a very bad bunch. Anyway. After having to authenticate my name once for the update and authenticate AGAIN just to come here cus the game can't recognise me I stopped the patch update. I just want to play, its the weekend. I'll go back to Azeroth where I know I won't get this kind of nonsense. Sorry for that. Happy patching. Can't say I'll bother again. I mean if I leave it another week I'll never update the game will I. Do you actually bench test these updates to check how long they take to download. And if so do you change shifts in between checking them. You cannot be serious.

I dread logging into this game cus if I have left it a week or so I have to sit like forever while the game updates. I am truly now bored again waiting and as soon as its done I'll be off to play my normal game. Thing is in the updates I have seen, nothing, but nothing has affected my game. It all seems really pointless. Added to the fact this game takes like forever to load and god forbid I go from one place to the next. The game seems to have to rewrite itself each time I play. I am not going to quote any of the other popular MMOs that I play but seriously it is only this game that has these annoying incredibly large downloads and game starting loading periods. Just my thoughts, as a few moments ago I was kinds in the mood to play but having waited like half my afternoon off to just update the game I really can't be bothered. Sorry for that.

Seems fine. I like the idea of being able to expand the bag slots. I also like being able to get gear without the capes, drapes and curtains. I would prefer some kind of wardrobe slot so I can actually get gear that lets me see my character. That last drape I had kept rapping round me.. so weird. But now I have something simple I bought which makes the running around and graphics so much more easy on the eye. So far I am happy with what I have seen and hasn't diecouraged me from playing... Pretty good I have to say.

Probably the best story based MMO game ever made.

Hi Been away for a while and just reactivated the account and subscribed and bought the small expansion so looking forward to getting back into the game. I did dislike the way most of the armor revolved around the large capes and I was wondering whether there is any easy way to click them off. I certainly can do this in another well known game. All help appreciated. See you in game.

Not really... I have about 30 days play time left on the account but haven't played for months. The account I'm talking about is the SWToR account. As to World of Warcraft, although I guess I played way too much, I recently started again on a new server and its just like old times again. Very busy, great fun and very enjoyable... pretty much the exact opposite to what my time here was. SWToR is way too boring. Both Rift and SWToR had to merge the servers to boost the game populations, but it won't last. At least in WoW I'm guaranteed a good volume of players. And if you thought this game was empty before the transfers just wait till the Pandas hit town. I've tuned up my 85s and they are waiting in the inn at Stormwind ready to rock and roll. Can't wait. MMOs are a time sink and you really need to invest your game time wisely. Otherwise you just get left behind.

If the communication fails then it is not communication. Making an assumption that people understand carries more issue depending on the consequence. That is totally subjective and the decision of the person communicating. Personally I would never run the risk of folk not understanding, but then I would not talk regarding an issue that I did not understand. I actually don't know how to use text talk as I don't use mobile phones.. So all the short hand stuff is meaningless to me. In truth I couldn't care less... I never even read the chat pane... Its way too high up on my screen. If it's anything like WoW its all kiddy nonsense anyway. I wouldn't let it get to you.

No.. I didn't understand any of that, sorry. Legacy.. reset.. what ? I play each night just the same as I always have.. No difference.. How does anyone owe what ? Sorry.. Don't understand. If you don't want something, don't buy it.

Cus they are pure evil... Seriously.

There are two ways to play 'pass the parcel'. The one that is the most hectic is the one where they remove a chair each time the music stops. Trouble is without a chair to sit on your out the game.... or have to find another chair even if you found your own chair very comfortable. Lots of MMO gear chasers like everyone sitting on the same chair as it feeds their game and saves them waiting for groups when they log. I sense the music about to start... hense the frantic nature of posts like these. For me this is ' not very important ' , at all. But then I like my chair.

No just a bag full of balloons and the promise of a mount ( yawn ).... Hardly what you would call adventurous new content.

I like grinding so there is often a very long period before I go back for some more story, and my memory isn't what it was so I could really do with a replay.... You know...' The story so far '... Or ...' Previously on SWToR '. In FF I could go to a theatre and watch the video that I had collected during the game. That would be cool.. And you could see the crap gear that you once wore. Maybe even show your vids to your buddies. Anyway... I actually don't mind the lack of MMO in this game. It is more FF anyway... the none MMO version I am talking about. And cus I am a great FF fan I guess I do like to grind like mad and gear up before I partake of the next adventure bit. Reminds me more of my D&D days of old when I would have to go round the kingdom to get the gear. You can do this here you just need to know the best grind spots and where the odd treasures are. Anyway... thats what I do. Each time I play a character I try to get higher and more geared on each zone that I challenge than I did before and also do every one of the quests... Great fun. Some of the gear is hard to get sometimes but you will get it in the end. Also all the Heroics need you over geared anyway if you do them on your own. They are like the boss fights in FF so being best prepared takes more effort. Very doable though.

This is strange.... You sit at a computer alone in your home and think that interacting on a computer game has differing social values. Seriously, you need to get out more. Its a game.. play it how you want. Personally I treat those in a game as just pixel fodder. I reserve human interaction to the real life face to face, people I know and trust and value. In truth who cares what you do in a game. I don't interact with anyone in games on any meaningful level, never have. The thing I generally find myself hating most about games like this are the other players.... Seriously annoying. I also never use the LFG tool cus really all you finish up struggling with is LFG 'tools'. If someone asks for help, I'll generally help, but don't expect me to be sociable... it's just a game.

Because the travel was so tedious, cus the crafting was so moronic, cus the combat sequences are just exactly the same thing like over and over and over, cus the game was so linear, cus the exploration was like zero, cus planets are so small, cus the gear was so themed and limiting, cus there was a feeling of emptyness, cus once you listened to the voice acting for one story you couldn't face another and cus I found I couldn't stand the companion one more day. And light saber thingys and hoods and robes, sorry. And cus of all that I stopped playing when thay scourge thing started and then found I didn't log in again and next thing I knew I was back in Stormwind and never looked back. Dunno even what the game is like now, but I can't see me ever playing it. The game just got shelved along with those trillion console games that I picked up and never bothered with again... Games that grab you from the getgo tend to work. This game just jogged along in a bland way and I just couldn't get interested. Sad... but there you go. Its just not epic in any way and I knew I was not enjoying it when while at work I found myself looking forward to playing Rift when I got home or WoW. The mobs in this game just line up one after another in groups of threes and fours and its just wash, rinse repeat and then go kill more and more and then the bonus 35 more. You listen to the long conversation and its just the same old same old. And the questions and answers are just too limiting and you either get a bad face job or are pure... Up or down.. One or two...And there was nothing on the AH. And crafting...well.. Better stop. Have fun.
