    I murder trees. really. Cut them down dead
  1. Yup, honesty does reveal much to this game. its really a Dragon Age reskinned with a social hub city/zone. why even play through again? nothing changes. I referenced WoW as just one example to the opposite, there are a few others, not many tho, but they do exist. Problem is, many of us were looking for it in this game. oh well. unsub should kick in soon. bye
  2. ^ this. and toss in broke essentials in todays mmo. like pvp and loot distribution just to name a few. hard to get attched to things that you have no effect on, is broken and doesnt reward you for your work.
  3. you obviously missed the op's point, and must have played ONE maybe TWO other weak mmos out there. I'm going to drop the WoW bomb on you seeing as its one of the many mmos i played that even from the start, proves my point. i choose to play a human:lvl in Elwyn>westfall>Redridge>Darkshire>Stranglethorn> ect.ect.. OR I choose a Dwarf. lvl in >Dun Morogh>Loch Modan>Wetlands>hillsbrad>arathi> ect. ect. or i choose Elf. I lvl in Teldrassil>Darkshore>Ashenvale>Stonetalon>Desolace> ect. ect. you getting the picture? Almost every race has their own questing start zones that links to a few next ones that after a short leveling experience, you can choose to leave and go to another same-faction race' zones and level there instead. there are and were even at release dozens of combinations of areas to level up in. throw in quite a few "dungeons/instances" along the way and you could even level up several of the same class and not repeat the same leveling experience. Yes some of the quests in every zone were and are "kill x" and "collect y". but change the scenery, audio, loot, quest storylines, and its pretty diverse. Not so in this game. everythings the same for each faction regardless the class EXCEPT the main story, and SLIGHT changes to npc "speech". 98% of the objectives, music/scenery, zone/planets.. quess what? the same. THIS is what the OP was talking about. Not some blind rush to lvl cap missing content along the way. As for your argument about "moneys worth".. you seriously dont believethis game has more content than WoW did at launch do you? you since i just pointed out that it doesnt... WoW is old and dated, but its still as deverse and stable as ever. I loved it, was a great game in its way, and even vanilla was very much worth the cost. as for ToR, on my main; it was enjoyable up to lvl 30's, started to get stale then frustrating to finally i have trouble leveling my other 6 toons i got out of their starting areas. because i seen it all. Class specific story is a very small portion of the content here, and that its the only real thing that changes makes playing other toons all the way to 50 seem shallow. I rate the value of bang/buck at this stage a C+. WoW value content at release A-. now if you want to compare bugs or broken pvp or lack of endgame i say theyre about even. sadly though bioware has had YEARS to looks at WoW and many many other mmos to learn from and yet this is what we get. This to me is a play each faction once to level cap or so, and hang it up for 6 months for much needed polish and content release. 'nuff said
  4. HA! I saw this back in beta, I was playin my BH dark, and the flashpoints choices reflected such, then i decided to dabble in a lightside SS. guess what? hardly a change to be had. But at least i get to use lightside gear... -.-
  5. imagine if it was reversed!, patching in voices to the npc dialog chats later, and adding more music would make playing alts hella fun. After you play your main trough a polished, versatile, cause-effect universe, you get to look forward to another experience but with the voices n music variety!
  6. a few other titles out in recent years tend to agree with you. STO, DCUO, FF14... labels can't make up for lack of content, ease of content and heavy anti-social design.
  7. I honestly dont know much about these games as being more hardcore and maybe a bit grindy, but ff14 revamp? Terra, GW2 out soon. I need to brush up on the other options out there. Someone posted a nice vid from the Ultima creator talking about his next thing and it sounded very.. "bold" to do in this genre these days. I too am looking for more of a challange. hitting endgame so quickly without trying is ludicrous. Will be back most likely to check things out in 3-6 months. Unless i get addicted elsewhere
  8. Exactly. yes each class story is great, thats the pull of the game. But like you stated, there simply isnt enough varied content to lvl up all 8. i can barely scratch my second alt at 25, simply because I seen everything twice now. pvp is the same either side, flashpoint vary only a tiny bit. Give me the ability to be this iconic hero/villain that actually affects the worlds and npcs reactions to me. Add the kind of puzzles that were in the kotor games, This game played it waaay too safe. Even as a Kotor 3 this would have failed. shallow
  9. already cancelled. will check back when theres alot more content thats not so linear and the rail shooter is expanded to do much more.
  10. I think I'm leaning to this thought as well. If EA isnt going to fund it, then its a no go, so theres our answer. earlier in the thread, a person linked a youtube vid about the brilliant creator of Ultima Online. He's working on something that sounds like what steve jobs did to mobile computing/social trend, this guys doing to mmos. sounds like at least some people still have inovation ahead of cash grabbing. can't wait. edit: forgot to rate OP, very nice discussion.
  11. agree with OP and i did cancel actually. I will be back for sure, when and if they address these issues, tedious space shooter, the pvp que system, much more FP's along the way to 50 for those of us leveling alts differently than the linear planet questing... and still.. other things.. but i will give it time. i'll check back in 6 months or so. even if i can't post, i'll still check out you guys still playing and hopefully your post will keep up with current issues of the game so I can decide if its time to resub. I dont entirely what devs post, as they will sugar coat most things.
  12. this^ OP gets -4 to attention deflection
  13. pure win. they seem to need to rationalize over n over instead of just leaving the thread to its fate.
  14. ah yes the proof! thank you. Bioware has no clue what they are doing because there are no waffles in this game. seriously, what in the...... everyone would vote to have waffles over not having them. its a no brainer. so snap to it devs
