[Fix the Groupleader from being able to remove everyone with no vote.]

They had this problem in DDO way back when. The fix was, once you entered the i nstance, you couldn't be kicked from the group.

 

So then you have a dbag groupmember (say your healer) who refuses to heal because someone annoyed him and he refuses to leave group also.

 

Dbags will be dbags, you just have to deal with it.

[Buggy? Yes. Not worth playing? Hardly.]

- The dead community - WHICH BIOWARE, IN SWTOR - IS TRYING TO BUILD.

- Dead worlds - (Flying mounts and teleport in the LFD issue all over again.)

- Bossfights, and content based on being hard after what Addons offer!

 

1. The community is worse in SWTOR.

2. The world is more dead in SWTOR because of the phasing.

3. The bossfights are more fun with addons (that take 5 second to install) because they make it so you're struggling against boss mechanics instead of struggling against your UI's limitations.

 

Also, anyone who says WoW had this many bugs at release is smoking something because it flat out didn't. I'm not saying it was bug-free but SWTOR you can't go 2 minutes without running into a bug at the higher levels. And on top of that a larger percentage of these bugs are things you can't just avoid and have a big impact on your enjoyment of the game.

[Fix the Groupleader from being able to remove everyone with no vote.]

Ugh! I've never seen that in 10+ years of playing MMO's!

 

Wow, what the hell MMO's you been playing? This stuff happens all the time even back in EQ days. What do you ONLY group with friends?

[I dont get it?]

Because the forums are entertaining.

 

edit: Guy above me is on something. The forum will always be full of complainers, whether they are playing the game for free or not.

[Are You Enjoying SWTOR?]

I loved the game. I got to level 50. I'm pretty much done now. I won't be subscribing. That's the flaw of a story-driven game. Once the story runs out that's it...

 

I would level a new character to experience their storylines if it didn't involve doing all the same sidequests or grinding pvp.

[Bioware doesn't know their vocabulary?]

Gourds are yummy.

[Love the game, but here are the changes I'd make...]

The time it takes to get from place to place is going to suck the life out of the people who choose to play this for the long-term. That is one thing that will inevitably get fixed at some point.

 

I agree on the cybertech bikes. They need to make them BoE and/or use 1/10 the material they do now. If I sold the underworld metals alone I could buy like 5+ speeders off the vendor. And it's not like cybertech or the recipe for the bikes are uncommon. I see tons of people on them...

 

The guild interface needs a lot of features/improvements. Calendars are just one of them.

[SWTOR: Dying or Prosperous?]

There will be a fairly large exodus after the free month is over. If you're on a well-populated server you probably won't notice but if you're on a lower pop server you might run into some problems.

 

But the game is far from doomed. It just isn't a blockbuster hit.

[Will this game have a second free month?]

To possibly placate the players that are ready to mass exodus?

 

This would just cost them more money. Even more people will quit after the 2nd month than the first.

[Flagged for pvp]

Never had this happen. I do know if you zone at all your 5 minute timer gets reset. But you can drop it in areas other than republic/imperial fleet. It's just you pretty much can't move around because even when you enter new areas it seems to reset. They need to have a visible timer on the thing...

[Psychology behind mmos]

Is the OP serious? MMO's existed for a long time before WoW. WoW was not my first MMO by a long-shot. Yet it's the best MMO that has ever been released.

[Let us play in offline mode]

Hate to say it but even if this was a single player game is doesn't stand up to the single player games that have been released. Even BWs single player games have better story and game play.

 

I don't think this would matter at all.

 

I have to disagree. If this were a single player game they wouldn't have added all the time sinks to it and it would have been the best single player RPG ever created. Imagine fast traveling to any planet you want, never running through a spaceport, etc.

[Ability Delays / Lack of Content.]

Could it be most of us just dont want to put in a friggin ticket?

 

Yeah I found that quite funny when they claimed to know how many people are having performance issues. I'd bet more than half the people having performance issues don't bother reporting them.

[Speed lvling to 50 ...why?]

Many people who didn't rush are 50 by now. It's not like the game just came out or its difficult to level in or anything. A month is plenty of time to get to 50 for a lot of people, even when they enjoy the story.

[The truth hurts]

Yeah, the minimum requirements usually don't change for some time down the road. That disclaimer is there because they might upgrade the game engine at some point and along with that will come new system requirements. But that wouldn't be for a year or more down the line.

[Broken Datacrons]

Die and get resed on the other side.

[MMORPGs Are Doomed]

Millions upon millions of people disagree with you.

 

I don't like FPS games. But you don't see me on FPS game forums saying how FPS's are doomed.

[My Verdict on SWTOR]

If anything swtor has the worst and most boring crafting there is. It honestly feels like playing a facebook game - click this button and come back in an hour to collect your dollar. Terrible. Every other crafting system atleast gets you involved, makes you go out into the world trying to improve it. In swtor crafting is just a bunch of annoying free loot screens poping up every 20 minutes. It honestly wouldn't even be worse to just remove it all together, infact may be even better.

 

I'm noticing a distinct trend in whether people like or don't like SWTOR's crafting system. The people who didn't enjoy crafting in other MMO's enjoy the crafting skill in SWTOR because of how effortless it is. The people who like spending time crafting do not like SWTOR because you can't spend time crafting in SWTOR.

 

In my opinion that makes the system a failure. The crafting system should exist for the people who enjoy crafting systems, not for those who don't. The people who don't enjoy crafting systems should not be forced to do them (this is why WoW's crafting system is a failure because you have to craft for the combat bonuses you get).

 

This way both groups can be happy. The crafters have a system they can enjoy and the non-crafters can ignore crafting entirely.

[Will this game have a second free month?]

No, why would it?

[Space missions only giving 5 exp? Someone from Bioware please answer.]

Yes this is the case in the 20s and 30s. The quest missions stop giving exp long before the quest goes gray. For instance I know the 2nd quest you get (not the escort but the next 2 missions) stops giving xp at level 22 even though it's a level 24 quest.

 

Note: The quest gives xp, the missions do not.

[I need answers before January 19]

Just don't resubscribe and keep an eye on patch notes for a few months to see if they're changing the game the way you like or not. That's what I plan on doing. Not playing for a couple months won't kill me if I do decide to come back.

[Are there really more empire players than republic?]

People prefer to be evil. What that says about the future of humanity is depressing.

 

I really don't think that's true.

 

I think the main reason people prefer to be empire is because all the movies were told from republic side. So the storylines are more interesting on empire side. I also think a lot of the empire areas and combat animations are far cooler than the republic counterparts.

[I quit WoW to play SWTOR, this is why I am staying!]

@OP

 

I agree with you on all points except crew skills and recall. Recall seemed awesome at first until I realized that getting from planet to planet is a royal pain in the butt. I'll take WoW's hearthstone over single-planet only recall any day of the week. Crew skills in this game are only good for the people who normally don't like doing tradeskills. I don't think that makes them good.

 

The unfortunate thing is the list of reasons to play WoW over SWTOR are a million times longer than the list to play SWTOR over WoW.

 

edit: Also, anyone who says you shouldn't compare SWTOR to WoW because WoW was made 7 years ago are idiots. So if some new car manufacturer opened up business you'd buy their car even though it's inferior because they haven't had as long to improve their cars? Give me a break. Your option is to play current WoW or current SWTOR. So they absolutely should be directly compared. WoW became successful because out of the gate it was better than its competitors even though they had been around for 7 years already. (Ultima Online, Everquest and some that weren't 7 years old like DAoC)

[Addon request: Identify players wasting my time by not hitting spacebar]

If he says no cutscenes when forming the group and you watch the cutscenes you're in the wrong and being completely inconsiderate. End of story.

[Always 1-2 levels behind.]

Nice troll attempt. They should have put half as many quests in the game (and spent twice as much time on other areas) because it's impossible to do them all without completely outleveling the content.
