REiiGN Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 A lot of people had time off during the Christmas break. I did as I work for a school district. I did hit spacebar a lot...doing barrel rolls. I like the space battles so sue me. Still, it took longer than 5 days for me. Did finish the story and its great.

Tohrazer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Agreed, i've put in about 12 hours into my Jedi Consular and i'm only level 14. Leveling tips would be appreciated. thats incredible i do 1-10 in about 2 hours 40 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulp Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yep, then come here and complain about the game after that.... 5 days and 10 hours of total play time. Did not even skip a SINGLE line of dialogue till ~40. Did skip some on some side quests after I've finished reading the text. I'm such a bad person. I didn't enjoy the game at all and just hate it!

Feskitt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Lvl 50 in a few days? "Professional gamers" <snicker> who play 14 hrs a day? (I doubt they're professional at much IRL though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehtiz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 6 days /played for me to hit 50. Watched the voice acting for class story and the main story line for each planet, tended to skip through the 'oh mighty jedi, find me 4 of x' extra missions. Did not rush to 50, did some pvp, did some space combat, did every flashpoint up to red reaper (only do them when my tank friend is online at same time) As to how i got 6 days played out of the 19 since I had access to game, on the days I had nothing to do, i would spend most of the day playing it, other days over the period i did not log on at all. My first char in wow (started that game day 1) took me 12 days /played, my second char 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolits Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I hit 50 in just over 5 days, never skipped any side quests or used "space bar" once (absolutely guarantee this), did all the planet bonus quests also. The only area I did not focus on was crafting which I levelled once I hit 50 (all maxed now btw). Efficient levelling is definitely not the least fun way to play, its just means you have used your time effectively.

Enginer Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Use space bar, and level with 1 other person. It will go very quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronamo Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 It took me almost exactly 7 days of play time to hit 50, and I definitely feel like I rushed things a little bit, but not much. In retrospect, my first WoW character ever (in Vanilla) took 20 days to get to 60. There's nothing wrong with it taking longer at all. It depends on your comfort with MMO gameplay for one thing, and how efficiently you follow mission chains for another. SWTOR has been really great about not making you run back and forth, back and forth turning things in and picking up new missions...doing everything in my log in the area before heading back to town was definitely the most efficient way for me to get through each planet.

Wow, I never expected someone to say something about efficient and effectively in a game. My boss wants me to be efficient, that's fine, he pays me money for it, but in a game all I want is entertainment. I don't care if I get 50 in 5 days or 50 days, as long as I enjoy it.

CarverX Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They basically find the least fun way to play the game. lol They basically missed the entire point of the game because they thought it was another flash in the pan korean item mall mmo.

Raice Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well, I have been on Christmas Vacation for school (don't go back til the 12th.) So I imagine the fact that the game launched in the Christmas season had a lot to do with it. People generally didn't have to work - they had LOTS of time to play. Even still, it's not difficult. You can basically level to 50 in a few days with PvP, which, I wager is the fastest way to do it. I really don't think people spammed through the story content. The running around alone would have kept them at a certain pace. Even still, the first 30 or so levels go pretty fast. I should also say that leveling goes way faster when you are soloing. I've been playing with my bro this whole time. We work pretty well together, but there are times when I know I am slowing him down, and times when he is slowing me down. But, for us... it really doesn't matter. We aren't letting other people dictate the game we are playing. We enjoy this game a lot, because we took our time to enjoy it.

AnarchIV Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Took me approximately 8 days total time played or roughly 200 hours to hit level 50. I certainly didn't rush and I can't imagine how people did it faster than that. Would be such a waste of missed content. Just a question, it took you 8 days or 200 hours, 200/8= 25 so you play 25/24h (illogic)? or even 21h per day? it is tooooo much no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolits Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I don't care if I get 50 in 5 days or 50 days, as long as I enjoy it. Exactly this is what people forget, the most important thing regardless of time is that you enjoy yourself and play the game how you want to.

Chazcon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 CAN you actually skip the cutscenes? I have an alt I'm leveling and while I think the cut scenes are one of the most innovative and best parts of the game, I don't need to run through them all twice. If you can skip them, how are your light/dark choices handled? Do you just come out neutral on skipped cutscenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eloco Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They basically find the least fun way to play the game. Not up to you to say what other people find fun. I find the constant sniping at other players on these boards disgusting. Suprisingly the majority is coming from the casual audience, who I exoected to be more mature than the Hardcore crowd, who are all apparently immature children.

Ethern Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 They basically find the least fun way to play the game.According to you. Usually I find that the leveling phase in MMOs is the less enjoyable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSykes Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You can power level to 85 in WoW waay faster than you can hit 50 in SWTOR. 85 levels in WoW takes less than 72 hrs if you know what you're doing. Can't say the same for SWTOR. Hate to burst your bubble, but 50 can be hit in ~60 hours in TOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khryn Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm only level 33 and my job affords me quite a bit of free time to play online. I can see 4-5 days to get to level 50 if it is in /played time. If you space bar'd through all the dialogue I can see 4-5 days IRL. I have to admit I have spacebar'd through some dialogue. Alien languages. Argh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press spacebar, and 1 or 2 or 3, as if you were in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hit space bar it just interrupts the scripted recorded line as a whole. You will not miss any light/dark side choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakleyo Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 You will have about 4-6days /played on your character when you hit 50 too, and no that doesn't mean you've skipped all the cutscenes. I hit 50 and didn't skip them, but I did make good use of my time. Making sure you're doing quests together in one area and getting them all done to minimize travel times, and just being generally efficient. Admittedly I skipped the heroics and didn't do any flashpoints, but that wouldn't really impact time spent as you get decent xp and rewards to help you kill things faster by doing them. It also does not mean I've ruined the experience. You may be doing things at 35 that I am now doing at 50 because I left them for later. I've just done things in a different order.

Icecrypt Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Because most 50's started the 13th or the 14th ? that gives them what 20 orso days ? Almost a month now. It takes maybe 5 - 6 days ingame time to make it to 50 if you dont spend hours on hours doing nothing ofc. I'd say it's quite reasonable people are lvl 50 by now. I am not btw so dont jump on me accusing me of being lvl 50 and how horrible i am for being lvl 50. IF your in school youve had whole christmas break to game i mean that starts like the 21 december so.. Edited January 4, 2012 by Icecrypt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
