Sarcasm works better if you're coherent and can use proper sentence structure.

Very true but then again EQ2 is the exact polar opposite of SWTOR. It's not all about slamming to the cap and raiding. There's plenty of collection quests, social quests, crafting and many other non-linear fluff content to keep a player interested for a long time. EQ2 isn't exactly for casual players, though. It's fairly complex and deep. I'd be willing to say it's the last true MMO made with old school MMO design. This would explain it's moderate population. SWTOR is just a "jump on play for an hour or so" type game. The story is interesting for the most part but it's not complex or time consuming in any way. There's no "fluff" to occupy people and make them want to play for more than a little while at a time which I would define as a hallmark for MMO games. It's just a very streamlined, linear experience that is perfect for a single-player game enthusiast who wants to try out a MMOlite style game. For me and other MMO gamers that isn't enough to keep us paying and playing but for the casual crowd it's ideal. To each their own.

GI gave it a shining review as well. They don't generally do 1-10 number reviews on MMO's since they aren't a single experience and can change alot over time. But again reviews are nothing but a single persons thoughts on a game. Their enjoyment of a game is no more or less valid than anyone elses. It all comes down to individual experience. I don't like this game at all but some love it and others are on the fence. Citing one review by a gamer, even a game journalist/reviewer, is not a great way to decide if it's a game for you or not.

I wish this guy would go play the game he loves so much and quit spouting his trademark "Doooooom dooooom" in every thread he perceives as negative. Back on topic, my server is the same way. Pop is low every day no matter if it's peak hours or not. Getting a group is nearly impossible so I just gave up and skipped 95% of the heroics and FP's rather than stand around and spam for a group for hours on end. This problem is a big reason I didn't resub for the second month along with a laundry list of other problems.

In the end, forums or not, the game itself will be judged on it's own merits. To whoever said that any constructive criticism is being convoluted by all the whiners and haters...Bioware didn't listen to us while developing the game. Why would they start now no matter how "constructive the criticisms are? Bioware has a God Complex problem. Maybe it's because two doctors are running the company, I don't know. They believe that they know what's best and won't have anyone tell them otherwise, even the gamers who are buying and paying for their games, so forums or no forums they're going to do exactly what they want regardless of anything said here.

What he said with a bigger font for the no.

Speaking of safe..isn't that close enough to exactly the same to be some sort of copyright infringment?

I think I saw a guy last week who said he liked it. Oh no wait. He said he liked pudding. sorry my bad.

I am not level 50 but i have several characters in the 30 range. Why? Because I spent $75 on this crap and by god I'm gonna get my money's worth like it or not.

I think many of us are getting beyond that selling point. SWTOR will do nothing but damage the Star Wars IP further with it's mediocrity. Don't expect to see another MMO using GL's liscense. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...you know how it goes.

Loyalty to a game company who threw out a half-baked game with horrible support and that told us the best thing to do after capping out was to reroll and do the same quests over and over because they forgot to put in a decent endgame? They also forgot to put in a decent start to mid-game. I'd like to say...my loyalty is to the company that doesn't spend 200million bucks on a single game and actually cares about it enough to give me somthing they're proud of. This game is all about money, not the game or the gamer. It will end badly.

Dunno, never made it to 50. Got bored quit playing, started over..repeat..repeat...repeat..unsubbed.

Very striking visualization. I agree 100%. There are moments in epic games where you have no choice but to sit back and marvel at the gradeur of certain areas or set pieces etc. Star Wars (the movies) were all about those amazing moments where somthing just blew you away with it's monumental beauty. TOR is just mediocre when it comes to that. There's no moment of awestruck excitment at seeing a city or landscape or anything for that matter. Couple all that with a mediocre game and you have a poor representation of what Star Wars is suppose to be.

Pay no attention to that Blotter guy. He will inevitably come in to any post he perceives as negative and try to blow his nonsensical BS at it in a pathetic attempt to be Bioware's #1 excuse boy.

Already unsubbed. I think after 2 months I've seen pretty much everything the game has to offer. Aside from a complete overhaul of the mechanics, graphics, gameplay, writing and changing the engine to somthing less horrible than the Hero Engine....ok basicly starting over from scratch I'm going to write this game off as a total loss. They got 75 bucks out of me. I think that will be quite sufficient.

Hadn't you heard, they spent the whole 2-300mill on liquor and ******s for the voice actors so they wouldn't quit after reading the cheesy half***** scripts.

It is. ..."we're going to go ahead and close this thread...blah blah please try the suggestion box etc etc.. the usual.

The whole point of this thread is just to put up wish lists for things that we wish were in game. These lists don't require others to criticize or complain about them. If the game is perfect for you then don't bother replying at all. Matter of fact if the game is perfect for you or you believe in Bioware's ability to deliver all your wishes within a reasonable timeframe why are you reading this thread at all?

It's been discussed many times in many threads in this forum. As a matter of fact one of those threads gave me the idea to run Memory Cleaner.The person who suggested it was having the same issues and was replying to others who also had that problem.

Let's not forget the massive memory leak that has yet to be mentioned or fixed or even noticed by BW. I have to run memory cleaner just to keep the game from eating up my entire 8 gigs of ddr3. Even still it runs using roughly 85% of it. (before using memory cleaner it used 99%) I'm running a HD6770 Radeon and it chugs when more than a half dozen people are nearby leaving me at around 20-25 fps. Out in a zone relativly alone I run at around 55-60 I don't know what's wrong with the programming but I'm fairly certain that a game with graphical quality like TOR shouldn't be tearing through resources like that.

I love how people do this. They see someone played SWG and immediatly they decide that they're going to hate TOR and anything they say will be invalidated by that experience. The people who played SWG were Star Wars fans and MMO fans. Bioware made a Star Wars MMO. See where I'm going with this? The largest grouping of Star Wars MMO fans were playing or had once played SWG. Yes it was a horrible mess after the NGE and alienated many players but instead of Bioware taking a cue from what SOE did wrong making SWG they took all their cues from what Blizzard did right making WoW. If they wanted to alienate most of the SWG players they did a great job by ignoring what SWG did right and wrong. But I digress. This is still a Star Wars game, though, and many players here are or were SWG fans. To say that because a person played SWG in the past they have no say about the state of TOR is foolish.

7 years of development and a bottomless well of development money. Nuff said.

So BW is going to talk (gladhand) guild leaders who are a tiny % of the entire pop and have a powwow with them about the state of this horribly written, executed and implemented game. They do realise of course that the only guild leaders who will show up are the fanboy jackwagons that are going to be all starry eyed and bubbling at getting to meet the guys at Bioware Austin right? Right?..... This helps how?

I, sadly, paid for the crap so I have just as much right to be here as anyone. I have since chalked it up as a loss of funds and cancelled but until then I'm right here.
