[Space Combat = Horribly Disappointing]

Makes me miss X-Wing and Tie-Fighter...sooo wish they would make new ones

Those were really SW inmmersing. I was TIE Bomber fan. I loved do runs against platforms and Frigates with my unshielded TIE Bomber. In fact I still have X-Wing vs TIE Fighter installed in an XP partition to play it when I really want to enjoy a good space sim, depite their old graphics that amazingly still look cool

 

I loved too JTL and I'm waiting for SWGEmu to implement it to enjoy it again.

 

TOR rail space arcade is fun for an arcade, but I understand why the opmaker is disappointed, though is true that was announced that the space combat it was going to be an arcade, not a free flight sim.

 

Good hunting

[Rate SWTOR out of 10.]

My reasons:

 

-Combat has been smooth for me (for the most part)

-Questing was really fun.. voice acting was awesome as well

-Planets are huge and visually stunning

-The flashpoints are great

-Unique classes (compared to traditional mmos)

-In depth story to each class

 

Probably a ton of other things I'm missing.. just quickly typed this up.

I won't discuss your other reasons because are personal opinions, but that of unique classes... Are you serious?

This game has the old known 3 classes: Tanks, DPS, and Healers. Disguised under supposed 4 different classes but in the end tanks, dps, and healers.

 

The only MMO I know that tried to implement really different classes with certain success, was SWG pre-CU where you really had classes that were not into those classic 3: Crafters, Entertainers, and Smugglers; in fact the SWG pre-CU (for me the best MMORPG ever made) skills system was opened to create mixed classes; but we all know what happened with SWG.

 

I rate the game 6/10 because of the storyline, the voice acting, and a few little things that are bit innovating (to say one, social points to encourage team-play; at least for me is something new) but actually a failure. However there are too many things that looks like a joke for a game that has been developed along 3 years: rail space combat is a miniarcade (do I have to speak of JTL to know how to implement true space combat in a MMO?), stupid and useless crafting system, too few PvP maps,... just to say some.
