[Subs down 25%]

Bioware made the critical mistake of doing a quick copy and paste of WoW. People dont want to play WoW with light sabers when they leave WoW. They want something new. I quit WoW right before Wrath came out because the game was too easy and it just wasnt fun anymore.

 

What did Bioware do? Come out with an even easier game that is really just a single player game and not an MMO at all.

 

I really hope Bioware decides to release a real TOR after this abomination fails. I bought SWTOR day one and bought a three month subscription because i bought into Bioware's hype. What did it get me? One month after launch, i never played the game again. Got max level in two weeks, did most of the endgame and found it to be EZ mode WoW raiding. PVP was total disaster with Ilum and the war-zones. I find it incredible how Warzones and Ilum actually made it into the game. Just shows how little Bioware knows about creating a good MMO.

 

I just got an email the other day saying Khem'Val missed adventuring and i should come back. I laughed because there is nothing to do in TOR.

[The end of the arguement. Is SWTOR in decline? Can it be saved?]

I saw a news article about SWTOR so i decided to come back to the forums and give my reason for quitting.

 

I am a level 50 who bought a three month subscription when the game launched and quit about one month after the game launched. I did most of the buggy raid content and quit because i could not get people do to the HM FP's. I sat in chat spamming LFG Heroic anything and never found anyone. I would consider returning if they actually added a real LFG system. The current "system" they have is awful.

 

The PVP was so boring and generic that i just got all the gear within two weeks and stopped playing it. It just wasnt fun. Ilum was absolute trash when i quit and was shocked when they "improved" it with the first patch to Ilum. They changed the dailies where you needed to get kills. It was absolutely awful. Just a huge cluster F***. In general Ilum was just poorly thought out from the start.

 

Bioware made a big mistake by focusing so much on story. I got bored very quickly with the story and have no plans on ever leveling another character. The leveling was very boring too. Never was interested in most of the side quests. The main story line was interesting, but they clearly put too much time into it and it really the rest of the game suffered as a result. Bioware's best work was the story, but i want game play and content first A game with a bad story but tons of plot holey content and good game play is a much better alternative.

 

Developing an MMO where leveling is the most important goal just doesnt seem like a good idea to me. Leveling exists only to give the user a firm understanding on how to play the game. It should not be the meat of the experience.

[PLEASE VOTE: Give Us Real Combat Logs]

I find it soooo bizarre that people are opposed to a combat log that actually tells you useful information.

 

This combat log forces Bioware to make encounters even easier.

 

Why would someone not want to know why they are sucking?

[New updated sub numbers (Official)]

I got a three month pass because i was expecting TOR to be amazing and i quit two weeks after max level. Played for a total of one month. The game is mind numbingly boring because the content is too easy. PVP was awful and the inability to find FP groups since the LFG system sucked/was non existent.

 

Soooo sad that TOR was just another crappy WoW clone. I was really planning to devote most of my free time playing TOR if it was interesting.

[Stop the WoW comparisons!]

This game is a WoW clone.

[Why do so many play Empire?]

I am mad that there are sooooo many Emp players. I picked emp because i thought all the children would pick Republic.

[If no one else is willng to say it, I will..]

I have to basically go to three different loading screens to get to a planet. What an awful way to design the game.

 

Ship, orbital hub, hanger, on the planet.........finally.............terrible.

[HORRIBLE AA implamentation.]

I7 920 @ 4.2ghz

GTX480 SLI

12 gigs of ram

running the game off of a SSD

 

20FPS..........in the Imperial Fleet.

 

AWFUL SLI scaling and just poor programming in general. Bioware screws up again.

 

single digits in Ilum this morning with 40+ players around me spamming spells.

[The question of the month: Will you keep your subscription up? and why?]

It definitely is another wow clone thats for sure. I bought a two month subscription so i will keep playing it until it expires and by that time i hope Bioware makes the game less boring.

 

Hit level 50 about a week ago and full epics.........why..........why..........why

 

PVP is a joke. Ilum is just a win trading planet. There is no actual pvp on it.

 

Dont even get me started on Hutt Ball..........horrible game.

[So utterly disappointing]

SWTOR PVP might be the worst PVP i have ever played. It puts WoW arena/BG's to shame in terms of how utterly boring it is.

[Why does no one do flashpoints after BT/esseles?]

I have been able to do Black Talon twice and after that i have done half of Athiss and half of Cademinu. I enjoy FP's but can never find a group.

 

Currently level 47

[I'm level 50. Here's what I think of the game.]

Needs a way better LFG system. I have only done two FP's and am lvl 43. I cant find anyone to do them and it takes too long to find a group.

 

Fix it because i hate leveling. I do enjoy getting a level out of instances and unfortunately have not been able to do that.

[IGN Dubs SWTOR "The Best MMO Launch To Date"]

IGN thinks COD is the best game ever made. Ignore those morons.

 

SWTOR is a good, albeit very flawed game.

[Sooo umm Space Combat]

Hold left mouse button and spam space bar right?

 

Am i doing it right?

 

Very disappointing how bad it is. I only do it to get xp since its so boring. Anyone actually like it?

[How many subscriptions still around in 6 months?]

I definitely think it will be down a fair bit.

[Why Didn't Bioware Innovate Anything in SW:TOR - ESPECIALLY in the End-game?]

Is the end game really as bad as people are saying it is?

 

I only care for end game and raiding. I despise leveling and questing. Currently 41 and trying to prevent myself from committing suicide.

[How Can A Game With Such A Large Budget Have So Little Content? What Was it Spent On?]

Voice acting is a waste of time for me.

 

Space bar is my friend.

[Beyond the first couple of worlds are Heroics being ignored?]

I find it almost impossible to do FP"s. I havent done a single Flash Point since Black Talon. I sit in the Imperial Fleet for 30 minutes and get nothing. I even que myself up in LFG and still nothing. Currently lvl 41.

 

It is beyond frustrating.

 

I dont waste my time with Heroics. I did early on, but they are so boring and not worth it.

[Ability Delay -- Character Responsiveness (This will make or break SW:TOR)]

I find it incredible that Bioware valued animations over actual gameplay. A side effect of a company known for trying to create games with high cinematic values.

[Ability Delay -- Character Responsiveness (This will make or break SW:TOR)]

I definitely noticed it. I played WoW pretty hardcore. Gladiator/top 50 world guild during BC and the delay is just brutal compared to WoW. WoW isnt a good game anymore, but combat isnt the reason why it sucks.

[This game badly needs mods and macros.]

The UI is pretty bad. It needs mods and macros.

 

How about a combat log too. *** is this amateur nonsense?
