I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding this game, but here is my personal experience and opinion on SW:TOR.

 

I have played nearly every MMO since the first launch of EQ. Take that for what's it's worth. I am a PvE-centric player. Soooo, that being said, here are my thoughts. PvP seemed like an afterthought on this game, and I've only done it a few times, so I won't comment on it.

 

1.) The storyline of this game is absolutely fantastic. Following your class quest is very enjoyable. This is the FIRST MMO ever to actually make me want to progress just to see what happens with the story. EQ, AoC, DAoC, Shadowbane, GW, Warhammer, WoW (and countless others) and all others....I could honestly care less what happened with my toon in relation to the universe. I just wanted to level and get gear. In this game I actually want to find out what happens to my toon, companions, and the universe!!

 

2.) I really enjoy the upgrade system. I like being able to find a robe or saber that you like and just continually upgrade it. That is wonderful. I'm sick of grinding dungeons all day for a new weapon. Now you can hit a dungeon, grab a piece of equipment you like the look of, and upgrade it to the end. That is really nice, especially since I like soloing and grabbing most of my upgrades through commendation vendors.

 

3.) Companions are great. As a Jedi Guardian it was rough going until about 32. But even still, I like that your companions develop relationships with you. I also like that you can upgrade them. As a person who likes to level solo, I find it irritating to look for group members to complete basic quests. I have found companions to be wonderful. I often level with a friend of mine and have been able to do several FPs with 2 human players. (with companions). As I've leveled this became more difficult, but that was ok.

 

4.) Flash Points are fun! I really enjoy them. The boss mechanics are nice, even though simplistic. I've run a lot of them with guildmates. I believe as the game evolves this will become better, but as it stands it's fairly enjoyable.

 

5.) Crafting is finally not the black hole time-sink it used to be. I like the fact you can send your minions to gather and craft. Finally, I can play the game AND level up a craft skill. Although the craft equipment seems to be subpar at this point, I'm sure this will change as the game evolves. Here's to the future.

 

Well, these are my thoughts. Good gaming and may the force be with you.

agreed, i love the game and hope it does well

 

dont give in to the haters bioware, they can go play their pandas and skip reading all the lame quest text and rush to max level to sit in their capital cities

 

Not everyone that doesn't enjoy the game is going to play WoW. You're just as bad as the haters and trolls that are lurking in the forums.
