out of the ones i did agent and inquisitor rank top but in truth they are all poor compared to what a singleplayer story could had been.

It would help if the environments were somewhat more interesting. WoW has lots of interesting features in their environments. To me TOR does not offer much new only story which isnt that great and what it does offer is sub par to whats already out there. Will TOR grow into a success who knows but time is ticking away. Id imagine there will be a point where they have marked if they drop below a certain sub to stop major development on it.

I will! but not as a pandaren (which are cool and in the lore and was designed way before the film kung fu panda) Going human monk me thinks. As for the pet battle system, pokemon was one of the biggest games for nintendo on the gameboy. So cannot be all bad. TOR could do with a few side distractions.

They will give us a day or so and then tell us that jedi is now a starter proffession and that all my hard work was for nothing . Im sure they will give us plenty notice, not that they really need to cause theres nothing that will greatly effect us apart from mabye legacy which im still not sure on.

Yeah but EA is the bigger investor here and has more clout than what the bioware devs want.

Hey your right!! somebody give me a job please No in truth designing mmo's is hard but then again theres lots of examples out there. But I will say blizzard seemed and still seems to be doing things right. Sure the formula they use is getting a bit old now and we seek something fresh but it was still great. Not blizzard's fault were getting bored of it after many years. I cannot actualy find any flaws in WoW's design. But I can with TOR's. Which might be down to blizzard just being better than bioware. They may have just got lucky, who knows what the reasoning is. I see alot of TOR will get better, TOR has potential etc I hope it does but im not going to wait around for it to happen. Done that too many times with previous mmo's and in the end they never reached what they set out to do.

Actualy Dragon age might work but bioware would probably make it so you can only be human. Also they wouldnt be creative with classes and they would stick to mage, warrior, rogue. Instead of adding new interesting concepts to DA like necromancer or warlock mabye even druid. Still id rather not see that and i think mass effect has greater lore and possibilities. The sooner they jump ship from TOR the better and the quicker they can start on a new project so im all for them dumping TOR in a year or so. But i know alot of people would be unhappy at that so mabye keep it going a bit longer with a skeleton crew.

That review pretty much sums up my feelings. Fact is there will always be people willing to play till the end and there are those who cannot stand it and move on to something they consider better. If I made TOR i probably wouldnt want to give up on it but then again I might also be thinking lets stop major production on it and admit our failures and start with a new fresh idea for a bioware mmo. No doubt there will be a few thoughts about a mass effect mmo now that the trilogy has finished. I would probably go for something wild and release a Jade Empire mmo though . As far as im aware the bioware austin team are the mmo guys and the canada team are the singleplayer game group. I could be wrong though. Who knows whats next for bioware hopefully something good.

Great effort but strangely cannot compete with whats already out there which really puzzles me.

Ive learnt something great from this TOR experiance. That is that deep story should be kept to your singleplayer games. I loved the idea of story on such scale in an mmo at first but after seeing it in practice it doesnt work. Alot of people said it wouldnt work and they were right. I do love the quest structure but it came at a cost of the rest of the game and now bioware actualy has got to build the mmo of TOR and not just a pretty story. Also i feel the quality of the story in the mmo is not that good anyway. Theres no epic moments that i remember. EA will most likely if not already delegated TOR to a skeleton crew or has plans to do so in the near future cause its quite clear to me already that TOR wont be the success EA and bioware had imagined. Of course EA will not care they probably got a good deal out of it and got all their money back. But i feel for the bioware devs as they have a rep to maintain and probably didnt recieve the majority of the sales.

Might do when it goes free to play. Thats what happened to STO. When EA no longer care about the product? I could see it on steam at some point though.

I played swg religiously, i loved kotor and i like star wars however i cannot play this game cause it does not tick enough mmo boxes for me and i can get a better mmo fix elsewhere. My opinion of course but it shows that just cause you like kotor doesnt mean you will like TOR. I liked dragon age but i hate dragon age 2. Anyway to summarise theres better mmo's on the market for me than TOR.

Its ok saying an mmo needs to grow but it should not be growing from a subpar level to whats already out there. TOR started behind the competition but theres no reason it should have done. It cannot be that hard to play a diverse selection of mmo's and pick out what works and what does not and then put all those ideas on the design board and say well these features are must haves, these ideas are quite good but people complained about them so lets try to refine them. These ideas tottaly didnt work in that mmo so we wont do that. Also you need to look at future mmo's and what they are doing and planning. Are they doing anything different and new, can we steal it and make it better. I dunno, it fell short of expectations for many people. It will continue on but the damage its suffered already makes me think of vanguard saga of heroes. Which although is a good mmo never recovered from its early mistakes.

Story cannot support an mmo alone you still need the core mmo features that are expected these days. Also actualy story is not highly valued in the genre anyway, most people skip the text in WoW and other mmo's unless its interesting. The focused too much on story and left all the other pilars weak, it takes more than 1 pillar to hold up the roof. anyway if i was to review TOR in its current state Gameplay: 3 Sound: 5 Story: 8 Longetvity: 5 overall 6.5/10 I see a bad future for TOR.

I took a break some time back cause i felt the game didnt live up to my expectations. Then I was bored and felt i didnt give it enough time so resubbed and a few days ago i cancelled again and my reason this time was going to another game. WoW TOR has no soul its an empty void.
