    Why do so many in mmo's now hate grouping?

    in General Discussion

    So RPGs of the offline kind aren't a genre? Or aren't a genre to your liking? Because that's the issue...you got your answer, you just didn't like it.

     

    I mean, if you want to split hairs for the act of splitting hairs you got me. RPG is a genre in its own right. If you're splitting hairs to simply be difficult...you're capable of acknowledging the vast differences between...say Skyrim and SWTOR.

     

    again...it's 'dynamics' baby...dynamics.

     

    that's why mmo's are different than SP rpg's.

    I think the real problem are the people who are walking or standing in the fleet's traffic lanes. Seriously, stay to the sides of the bulkheads as designated! I am tired of filling out these incident reports every day!

     

    you DO realize that you can run right through them with no ill effects dont you?

     

    lol...you report people for sitting in thier speeder? no wonder the support ticket system is so clogged.....

    200hrs is cut down when all you do is hit the space bar to get through conversations. The second 50 I leveled only took 4 played days to do. Thats with some afk time. I am convinced you can hit 50 in a little over 3 days played.

     

    I guess your right. I didnt spacebar at all for either of the ones I play.

     

    not into it ...voiceovers and story are the best part of the game IMO...like I'm in my own movie.

     

    maybe I'll skip some of the basic grind vocal stuff on later toons... but I still like the story over anything else. makes this game so unique over others.

     

    (( another reason I dont group as well...I hate being pressured into spacebarring past stuff becasue someone else is in a hurry to loot a chest.= or two ))

    honestly....

     

    I have one Rep 50 and one Imp 42.

     

    and I am really worried about my health and lack of life sitting at the screen for this long....lol. I thought I was the ultimate dork geek nerd ... guess I've been trumped.

     

    not knocking you OP...I know you are disabled and stated previously, therefore your ability to spend a lot of time.

     

    but damn !... I wish I had more gumption to do what you did.

    I cant get enough of this game as it is...but I just cant do anymore than I am now.

    swtor is addicting as they come when it comes to gaming..... setriously. like crack ! it's like freakin' crack !!! *sob.

     

    my name is Anonymous Joe, and I'm an mmo-aholic.

     

     

    (still would like a screenie though :) I'm still thinking it's darn near humanly impossible with each story reaching over 200 hours and all. )

     

    (( can you tell I'm plotting to try and figure out how to do this myself?))

    'non-forgiving' games are no longer being played.....

    it's funny how you learn that they arent really that much fun after all.

     

     

    some of the best games in the world are the ones that are 'easy' to play...but they are really high on the entertainment factor.

     

    I'd rather have 'fun' than have a 'challenge' any day if I had to choose one or the other .... cause fun's what it's all about IMO.

     

    I dont care if it's difficult (or not) at all when it all boils down.

     

    '...therfore solo is more fun than the frustration of yet another group.

    ...Solo content will never be challenging enough to provide "progression" that is comparable to the progression of group play......

     

    this can be disputed.

     

    I find that I work harder solo than when in a group....

     

    in a group I can get away with pulling back for a few hits.... solo I cant. groups have better buffs, Groups can rez you, solo you cant..... etc etc. I can fart around in a group and still accomplish/finish the mission.

     

    groups have many more benefits over solo...so dont say grouping is harder. It isnt.

     

    I have yet to find a group that is harder to function in than solo.

    I think this is exactly what Bioware (and every other MMO dev) hopes will happen with all players; they find like-minded individuals, form friendships, and continue to play and pay.

     

    The reality is that this doesn't happen often. By your own admission, this is a difficult thing to do. Is this really what we have to do in order to enjoy the game to it's fullest? Try very hard and get lucky with finding just the right people?

     

    I think it's an idealistic pipe dream for a developer to expect that this will happen to most players. Better is to get on the reality wagon and give everyone the kind of content they want, instead of this archaic 'you must raid at endgame to progress' funnel.

     

    and ....

     

    can I get another 'amen' ?

     

    amen.

     

    well worded and I agree wholly.
