[what is your #1 complaint about this game right at this moment?]

All the frickin whingers

[This is not WoW ... stop trying to make it WoW]

So far just about every complaint thread I've seen has been from WoW players complaining that SWTOR isn't more like WoW.

 

Get over it.

 

This is not meant to be WoW. If you can't handle that go back to WoW, find another game or make your own.

 

Amen to that

[From Ray and Greg: thank you for playing!]

you are welcome - Love this game

[From Ray and Greg: thank you for playing!]

Anyone else think all these whiners should just quit already?

 

Having read the forums the last few days I can wholeheartedly say that I am FED UP of all these doom and gloom merchants.

 

1.SWTOR isn't an MMO? wth. Well lets see The game is MASSIVE - even C&VG said they couldn't do a fair review off the bat as the content was so large they wanted to do it justice. Its MULTIPLAYER as I see TONS of people online and general chat is really lively. And yes i have to go ONLINE to play it. Seems like an MMO to me.

 

2.All the moaning minnies at level 40/50 complaining that the end game worlds are empty. WTH do you expect the game is 6 days old fer crissake. Personally I would be worried if all 1.5 million users were level 40 plus by now.

 

3.I'm assuming they must be jacked on Red Bull/Purdeys and sleep deprived after 6 solid days of 24/7 gaming to even BE that high a level.

 

4. I have NEVER played such an immersive game what with all the spoken dialogue. The quests are interesting, the Medical droid revive is GENIUS - even 90 seconds wait is better than a long BORING pointless ghost walk of shame back to a revive point. I have not felt like I am grinding for even one nanosecond which trust me is a first.

 

5.I have pretty much played every MMO in existence and this is the best BY FAR. In fact I would classify it a MMORPG in all honesty as I really feel as If I am a Jedi and that my choices really MATTER with the whole companion loyalty index.

 

6. Finally - If you dont like it then stop playing it. Why post on here how much you hate the game? Nobody cares. I certainly don`t. Go and play some other game. I can only assume the MMO you played before this was perfection personified. I'd love to know the name of the game you all played prior to this as it must have been so frickin awesome SWTOR can't possibly touch it.

 

SAY NO TO THE HATERS.KEEP THE FRIENDLY SPIRIT ALIVE.PLEASE BOIWARE DON'T EVER TO F2P.AND FINALLY TO THE WHINGERS - DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR *** ON THE WAY OUT.

 

Oh and final thought to the haters - I love this game so much I am going to upgrade my GPU as my current one struggles a bit. Now just go away please and leave us alone

[When Did We As MMO gamers get so Greedy]

Warning: Long post, lots of evil Text, in fact super long.

 

Ive spent some time sifting through general forums etc, you know just seeing what people thought of the game, and Though I know that forumites are the extreme vocal minority I have to ask?

 

Really? A single bug makes the game a failure? Really? You people power grind to 50 using space/pvp exploits and you feel you've a right to whine about content when you skipped 90 percent of it? Really? The game lacks basic functions of an mmo, Functions that 99 percent of other mmo's didnt have until YEARS after being released?

 

IMPORTANT: I agree the game isnt perfect! There are things Id like added and fixed but for heavens sake the games been out for FIVE DAYS, What in the hells are you people expecting in five days?

 

Now I promised text and explaining, so ive decided to Compile up the major complaints that people give, and have decided to explain them as best I can, and of course lobby my own opinion.

 

1. Content.

 

Now granted, Im only reading this from the people I mentioned above, the folks that used exploits or just skipped the text/subquests/any exploration etc, so I offer near no symapthy to this group. And I remind you, how many mmo's were rich with max level raids FIVE DAYS after release?

 

WoW: Near nothing for nine or so months. Hell Expansions like Wrath etc only gave you the end game raids in small chunks, most of which were snoresville (especially Wrath).

 

Dark Age of Camelot(amazing MMO even if old). PVP was the end game for a while

 

City of Heroes: Nothing until Hamidon, and even than it was a single raid...hami-o's(only old school CoH's will get that)

 

Rift: A few heroics and a few rift level raids that were near undoable due to Guild ganking exploits, so joy.

 

Conclusion: Welcome to the first five days of An MMO, if you plowed through using exploits/8 metric tons of mountain dew why are you shocked at this point if there isn't 100 raids? If youve actually played a decent number of MMO's you should have Known this was comming, so why complain?

 

2. Bugs at launch

 

Wow, cmon people you name me ONE mmo that didn't come out rife with bugs here and there. Name me one and ill award you king of the internet. How many games like Age of conan came out with bugs that made the game UNPLAYABLE. Anyone whos been around the block remembers The various game killing glitches that plauged WoW as well.

 

Conclusion: Compared to many mmo's were bugs/glitches resulted in errors and black screens, this game has had a relativly clean release. And as long as you submit the bugs, They will be fixed. Does dealing with Bugs suck? Oh heck yes they do, but again I demand you name one MMO that doesn't have this issue, and WoW has bugs from burning crusade STILL not fixed.

 

3. Not An MMO/No one around

 

I have to ask.....wut? No really, I read over a few threads of people complaining its linear, and all I could say is...whaaaa? Well lets go over what we have that makes it an mmo, with people around!

 

Lots of players- even on the newbie planet I was constantly getting into groups for heroics, did the first flashpoint three times with various people. Heck this was before I realized I could friend em, as I had fun. Im on my second char on the second Planet and I still find a fair number of people, and have had no issues finding a group to deal with a nasty Heroic.

 

MEGA POINT, READ it: DId anyone else check the date lately, and realize We are going through Christmas? Were lots of people are with family or on Vacation? Anyone ever one think that could effect some folk?

 

But yea...we have pvp, crafting, An auction house(will hit on this), Raids, guilds, everything Most MMo's start out with o_O.

 

4. Bad Economy!

 

Uhhhhmmm, games been out for five days? Did you expect a fully fleshed economy for all the items and stuff people? Patience for pities sake, No mmo came out and immediatly had a happy old economy.

 

5. Missing stuff like Dual builds!

 

I can sympathize here, I wish I had dual builds? BUt remember When NO mmo had em? As far as I can recall City of heroes was the first MMO I saw that had it, several years after elease at than. Than WoW followed along very quickly (lol). But yes, I do wish I could dual build for a pvp and a pve spec, but again its a Minor gripe.

 

6. Non Tiered PVP

 

Again, I can see why this is annoying, but people act as if this is an unfixable problem and that Bioware will just forget pvp exists. Again...five days, Christmas to so Bioware likely isnt working through x mas eve etc. Again this Is aggitating right now, but I can still enjoy pvp and Am Pretty sure Bioware can fix this without to much hassle.

 

7. Loading screens!

 

.....so yea, When you enter a pvp battleground in WoW, Rift etc you get a loading screen.

 

When you enter a dungeoun you get a loading screen

 

When you sailed to another continent you got a loading screen, Heck City of heroes has far more loading screens than this game.

 

The only Unique loading time this game has is starting quest conversations, and thats 1-5 seconds tops. Ill trade 1-5 seconds for the story and immersion actually talking to the people adds.

 

Conclusion:.....so yea whats the problem?

 

8. Shards!

 

Heres the thing, shards have thier ups and there downs to be sure. Due to them some areas can seem abandoned, especially during early morning hours or Xmas holiday (cough). Buuuuuuut if you remove them, than you start having to wait in long lines for quest mobs and desperatly fighting people for a single resource node. I remember Back in old school WoW, a single quest mob would have 20 or so people just surrounding his spawn point, first come first serve.

 

Conclusion: You either have it one way, or the other and Im sorry but fighting for a quest mob is NOT fun.

 

9....feck i cant think of anymore right now, Onto the conclusion! Ill edit it if a player brings up a real concern.

 

SUPER CONCLUSION:

 

The game has been out for five days, Five days and so far there have been No Game ending crashes, no emergency takedown maintences etc that many other Games have suffered. Be patient with Bugs and simple additions like Tiered pvp.

 

Bioware is NOT some tiny little company like, Say Adventurine( poor guys). They are an extremely well known Name that have created multiple Amazing games, Game of the year worthy games (KoToR one). They won't sit back and just laugh at players and thier grievances, patches will come along with content and everything we want.

 

All thats asked is Patience. If you seriously cant Show any of that, FIVE DAYS after a release, than Im sorry but no one can help you with your problem.

 

pretty much everything you said

 

I have played Flashpoint Esseles twice with no trouble getting a group, done the Heroic 2+ on the Jedi Starting world and one Heroic 2+ on Coruscant. I saw TONS of people on the game, the General chat is really cool with alot of friendly people. The speech is awesome, I love the multiplayer conversations, medical droid revive, cut scenes, area and auto loot and basically everything about the game. Like the man says its 5 days old! give it a chance. If you hate it so much then QUIT already and go away. We dont want to hear all this negativity. Go back to WOW or whatever and leave us to have our fun.

[5 Changes that should be made to SWTOR (Constructive Thread)]

Constructive Feedback continued

 

Now it may just be my age (42! Ahhhhhh) but the text is WAY too small. The only text I can change is in the chat log. Even then what you type is still way too small and only changes size once you actually hit `Enter`

 

PLEASE Bioware give us a global control to change the size of ALL the text. Same goes for the Map. Unless I'm missing something the only way of actually seeing anything closer is to use the magnify feature. It would help if you could change the scale manually.

 

Apart from that I am really loving it so far. I do like the medical droid revive that lets you go stealthy to get out of harms way - genius
