TheTurniipKing Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I mean, short of the obvious explanation that EA would really really like some of that sweet, sweet subscription cash, I'm seeing exactly jack **** in the gameplay that justifies a recurring monthly subscription fee.

Vesperascit Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Well they have to pay for server upkeep, pay their devs, pay their CS, pay their community people (basically their whole staff probably wants to get paid). They have to make up the money they spent developing the game. Since this is in fact an MMO despite what people would like to claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kunitsukami Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. You are constantly Online with thousands of other players, you have flash points in which you have to play along with other people Online, almost like it's Multiplayer, to beat the content. The game is Massive in it's size, scope, and number of players. Finally it's a Role Playing Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasgallant Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 well..MMO stands for Massively (there are a buttton of subscriptions ) Multiplayer ( you can play with a bunch of people online, up to 4 at any given time) Online (yep. I need an internet connection to meet that requirement) so simply by disecting the term MMO ..it fits completely.. it may not be YOUR ideal MMO..but face it..it is still an MMO.

Vesperascit Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Let me guess, we can't cancel the automatic recurring subscription were were forced into by the setup process without calling Customer Support either, can we? You can cancel it from your account options on the website. That is obvious to anyone who has looked for it. I suppose you could contact CS as well but that seems unnecessary.

Kamiosoup Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Thousands of other players you say? That's odd, since I play on one of the very few servers listed as FULL or VERY HIGH the game still manages to feel incredibly lifeless. Probably because when there's more than 90 people on a planet they make a new instance, for no reason what so ever. Giving Bioware the tools for an MMO was a cute idea on paper, but they've just gotten almost everything wrong.

That's odd because at peak times all the EU servers are full or very high, and every time i'm online there are hundreds of people in each area.

DeExil Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Its instanced for the time being, they plan to remove the instancing. Don't ask for proof, its somewhere here on the website and it has been posted before. I am just too lazy to look for it (and there is no search function still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cheerfully retract the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneberry Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Levle 50 Pvp grind, Operations (raids), Flash points (instances), Dailies, Warzones (Battlegrounds)... Sounds like every other MMO on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesperascit Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 well i played wow for 5 years. i quit cuz i played it so much for 5 years. bought this game, only to log in to the same game I quit WoW because it became stale and boring to me. Yet when i logged into this game I feel as though I'm not simply playing the same ol' grind. So I am sorry that you find no joy in this game but I am sure one day you will find something you like to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nague Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 when u cancel there is a seperate category "game felt like a Singleplayer", so Bioware allready knows whats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurniipKing Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) when u cancel there is a seperate category "game felt like a Singleplayer", so Bioware allready knows whats up. I'd probably have a lot more time for it if it was singleplayer. or Multiplayer. Star Wars just isn't something I want to subscribe to and grind through - even parts of KOTOR were more of a slog than I'd have liked.

onstorm Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Giving Bioware the tools for an MMO was a cute idea on paper, but they've just gotten almost everything wrong. This is your opinion. I am not saying no improvement or expansion in some of the current content is required, but I am having a blast playing this game. I think overall they've developed a pretty good game. This is the only MMO I've actually played and enjoyed. And no I am NOT just running around solo. I am grouping up so much that without grinding at all my current character is lvl 25 and I am only 1/2 way through Balmorra.

fife Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Feeling the same as OP, would rather have KOTR3. I can get the PvP, heavy instancing etc from other free games who have done it to just as high a quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a platformer, it's a rubbish one in which parts of the world vanish if you stand in the wrong place. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u226/TheTurnipKing/Screenshot_2012-01-03_11_28_51_049980.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibmyster Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Honestly would've prefered Kotor 3. This is good, but it just doesn't have the depth that a SP RPG would've had. Kotor wouldn't of had MMO side quests either. I LOATHE them, fetch this, kill that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
