  1. OK. I'm a subscriber. I also bought 2 months on a gametime card. After a week I'm wanting to unsubscribe. I want to like it but just feel it isn't Star Wars or anywhere near it. I love action and a deep story thread. My problems that make me want to quit are as such.: 1. Travelling & Pathfinding Need to be better and FASTER. I still haven't got my speeder yet so fast walk is still a pain and slow walk for over 10 levels was a real turn off. 2. Getting stuck unable to complete a quest. Boosters don't help and I found myself often stuck not being able to move the story on because I couldn't kill a mob I was supposed to at my level. This is an MMO but people are not always free or available so I couldn't move on and logged off for days until I found someone eventually to help. Now I'm at another quest where I can't complete without help so I logged off for another few days and played another MMO. It looks like some solo quests expect you to be 3 levels above the quest requirements to complete or beat it. A hell of a lot of boring grinding. When I'm questing and improving and not getting lost or stuck not being able to complete a quest and the story moves on smoothly I enjoy it but stopping and starting ruins the IMMERSION factor. 3. Vendors. I got a security key but at the vendor all I saw were things like dancers shoes. No weapons no exclusive stuff. Besides that I haven't yet found anything much worth buying from a vendor. They're pretty useless except for repairs. 4. Is this Star Wars? Maybe I'm wrong but Star Wars had the Force which you could use to pick up and throw your opponents or objects at them. So far it's just light sabers/guns hack and slash. Very basic and boring after a while. Also Where are the ALIEN RACES? This IS a Star Wars game isn't it? There's just no atmosphere or immersion even with the voice acting . 5. Too simple not enough variety and customisations. All Jedis seem to look alike wearing the same clothes with the same looking companion as I have!! I want to feel unique not like one of a thousand identical clones!! No diversity in races, clothes or even worlds. Apart from the initial hype it has not recreated the Star Wars Saga faithfully. Where are the alien races here? It's just a mess. All environments look the same. As I said I could persevere with it if I could solo my quests but I often get stuck not being able to progress because the boss is way above my level and I can't find anyone to help so I log off. A companion is fine if they get you through the solo but if they keep dying too then what's the point? I then have to try and remember or find a place to grind. And if I can't find a place to grind I'm stuck again. I play for continuity not having to stop and start. I love Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 2 and have ordered Mass Effect 3 but the gameplay in SWTOR for me especially where I need to solo is hopeless if I meet a boss. Grinding or finding a place with toons high enough lvl to grind is not always easy. And lack of variety in races makes me feel I'm playing on earth all the time no matter what world I travel to. Lack of variety and customisations is killing it for me. Combat should include using the Force to throw people and objects. Not just a light saber. Oh well maybe someone else will come up with a true Star Wars MMO in the future but this is not it.
  2. I've been playing this for a few days and am a lvl 11. So far I'm not feeling as if I'm having any fun. It just feels dull and boring. Something feels lacking I just can't put my finger on it maybe it's depth. Maybe it's too scripted and not enough random stuff. Does it get any better at all? If not I won't renew and just cancel instead. I want to be excited about SWTOR and like it but the force is just not with me. Got 2 light sabers and a robot and it's a bit better but something feels not quite right and I'm just not having much fun so far. I notice too enemies in tunnels and outside stand around just waiting to be attacked. Don't they have any AI or ambush or scout or do anything but stand around etc? Am I doing something wrong or playing the wrong character?. I've got the deluxe edition but the items weren't worth the extra $10 I paid.
