The Original post made here is good and I think its important to point out, while all his ideas may not be feasible or necessary, such as the night/day. The spirit of his argument is true. I come from the Runescape-school of mmos. I've never actually played WoW before and this is my first experience with a big mmo like this. And compared to runescape, this has a lot less things to keep you busy or entertained. In runescape, you could fish, cut wood, make fires, mine stuff, make your own armor and weapons and do a bunch of other stupid stuff. Now, dont get me wrong, I dont want to see all those skills put in this game, however, in swtor, what can u do? Basically, u got combat, more combat, questing, space comabt and yea, crew skils...Now, i love combat and doing quests and etc. However, other than space combat, there really is a serious lack of things to keep players "distracted." This game is far too linear. My suggestions On top of op's are to add more game play mechancis such as puzzling. Perhaps, more caves and dungeons could involve solving riddles and puzzles and maybe have no combat at all! Also, I would suggest creating some "player skills" this could involve our characters being more involved in the skill system and it could be something only they could do. Also, something this game could borrow from runescape, how about some random events? THey've already created a great backstory for our characters, Why not include more consequences for the actions we've taken? Why not include a event where pehaps we get taken to Jail for deeds we committed and we have to break out.., or some disgruntled person randomly attacking us? or perhaps a special quest or puzzle given to us for saving some person. Also, another problem that just came to mind, why must every quest seem so heroic and epic? Why not include more comedic quests? I know in skyrim, there were quests where you could help out a quarreling couple? Why not add some more humanity to this game? WHy cant we just take some time out to help a some girl kill her cheating boyfriend? In short, while they have made a great foundation of a game here, thats all they really have here, is a great foundation. There needs to be more things to distract the "players." And it wouldn't be a bad thing to borrow elements from other games and genres, including their own, such as mass effect!
