lycrates Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Alright, at 31 so far SWTOR has been primarily a single player experience by far (with few sprinckles of Flashpoints, PvP and the rare chance to find find a group for a heroic quest). How is it at 50? Does it get more Multiplayer-ish? I am asking because I just pre-ordered "Kindoms of Amalur" from Origin. It will release very soon and if I am going to play a single-player game, I might at least play a real single-player, (in all honesty the"Fed Ex or Kill X" quests dont cut it for me). But if SWTOR gets more MMO-like later, then I should probably put the efford to get to 50. What do you think? Any advice on level 50 would be appreciated.

Can't speak for your server or faction but my server on Republic is lonely as hell. Hardly any FPs, handful (if lucky) of guilds and PvP is a steamroll from the Empire.

Papazooki Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It gets even worse, actually. There aren't too many level 50s, and there is little incentive to group with anyone (this is true for 1-50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been taking my sweet time, so I thought the place would be filled with 50s. Is pretty desolate in non-50s areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicHEALZtime Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 i have 2 months left in this game before i have to make another payment. if things dont start to balance out faction wise and if the game still feels single player-ish than im pretty much done. i barely play as much as i used to when i first started. im rly just loosing interest. imo the story starts to get rly lazy after chapter 1. all's i do is run to my ships holo-terminal, fly to a planet, speak to a guy, run back to my ship, use the holo-terminal, rinse and repeat. the side quests are decent and the only way to actually lvl other than running fp's which is impossible for the republic on my server because their is literally 10 people on every planet (with both shards combined.) im normally vry social in multiplayer games and other mmo's but it seems t be almost impossible in this one. ive joined 3 guilds. 1 new one and 2 which where already established. all of them lost most of their members within days after joining. im glad others are having fun and enjoy this game but maybe its just not for me, im not into paying monthly for a mostly single-player experience.

SnoggyMack Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 How is it at 50? Does it get more Multiplayer-ish? Operations and Flashpoints at 50 are decidedly not solo content at level 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is happening to me to.. jus cant be bothered to log anymore, then i check the forums always hoping a bioware employee will put something useful up to find aload of Biodrones defending the pathetic attemps at making an mmo lol...

Valperion Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's as multiplayer as you want to make it. So where are the massive pvp battles? Maybe on Ilum? O wait... Ain't that the place where the imps and reps are friends exchanging "War Effort" points in getting tier 2 champion pvp gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evileeyore Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The only "single player" conent I've noticed is the Class Quests, which are forced single player pespective. For everything else I've had groups. Get more friends, group with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xioix Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 No, not at the moment. With the lack of 50s and LFG tool, it's very quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeada Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) So where are the massive pvp battles? Maybe on Ilum? O wait... Ain't that the place where the imps and reps are friends exchanging "War Effort" points in getting tier 2 champion pvp gear. ...Only for the next 3 days... after that, Ilum pvp daily/weekly will require player kills. More on topic: IMO, the game does indeed get more multiplayer-ish at 50, as you have daily PvE hardmode flashpoints, raids, and PvP things to do. If you decide to do these solo, or choose not to do them, then maybe MMOs are not for you. Edited January 14, 2012 by Daeada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrolepsy Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The game is horrible, it's all doom and gloom, the planets are about to collide. In reality I'm having a blast and I had that moment today when it sunk to me that this is the MMO I've been waiting for. Good riddance WoW and Warhammer (lol).

Once your story ends, this is what you could do. Do "Daily" quests and heroics lv50 quests on Belsavis and Ilum. * To get 1 comm for solo quests, 3-4 comms for heroics. - Your goal, is to get 150 comms to get tier 3 pve rakata tier 3 implants Play hard mode lv50 Flsahpoints. * You get tier 1 & 2 pve gear. Operations * You get tier 2 & 3 pve gear. Ilum * You exchange walker kills with the enemy, since there is "NO" reason to defend them. * Only way to get war effort points is to destroy walker, so why would you bother defending them? - If you get nothing. Outlaws Den on tatooine. * Its a ffa area that is pretty much empty all the time. * No reason to fight, no incentive, no rewards. * Only reason people went there was to farm the grade 6 nodes, but they have been removed in a hotfix.

There aren't too many level 50s, and there is little incentive to group with anyone (this is true for 1-50) This isn't true. On my server, we have a nice large community. We often pug operations together, hardmodes, pvp, and open world stuff. It all depends on your server community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't even... Wow... The ones who come on the forum and complain about nothing to do are the ones without the skill to complete hardmodes, ops and don't play their class well enough to compete in PvP. You could sit here and try to reason with them but they'll just attack you personally because that's about all they have left. Best advice is to just ignore them and move on. They hop to every new MMORPG available and taint its playerbase for a while until their accounts get forum-banned and then they just quit altogether.

JonnyFreedom Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I have 2 level 50's. I am going to level once through Republic side to see the quests then quit. The end game on this game is fairly terrible. You have PVP: Knockback CC fest, no thanks. Nothing like spending most of my match flying through the air or crowd controlled. You have Hard Mode Flash Points: Most are bugged or over tuned. A lot of them are bugged where loot doesn't drop. Most are really melee unfriendly due to stupid AoE mechanics. Ops Groups: LOL @ Bugfest (that is all) Dailies: Yay! Single Player and Win Trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on level 50 would be appreciated.it gets mor mmoish in 50 yes due to runnning hardmodes and dailies are easier to do as a group.BW really screwed the pooch i feel in devoping the second M in the MMO. they designed all the planets to revolve around the single player story resulting in a very very linear lvling process. is the single player expierence good? yes its great. but if i wanted a single player game to lvl through then have on line multiplayer capabilites i could just simply wait for dialo 3. this game is very simillar in that reguard to a game with multiplayer options cleverly hidden in planets. sharding really compounded this situation and it turned of the true tradtional MMO player. I like TOR its fun , but in a end anaylsis from a veteran this game missed some very fundemental MMO design boundries that just simply make it a hybrid. People hammered AOC for its very light sharding and area restrictions but it was far far more open ended then TOR . At the end of the day the 3 best new MMO's on the market are Rift, AOC ,and LOTRO.I am having fun in tor but it has zero longevity past 60 days for me and my gamming community. and for the fanny boy's no i wont go back to wow that game sucks worse then tor, ill likely be back to rift and eagerly awating their expansion they will be announcing once TOR has cooled.

I can handle bugs,poorly tuned content, missing features,class imbalances and lies about graphic options. what i cannot stay subbed for is poorly designed game worlds and arrogant reactions to the community telling them their design census was wrong. tor made some bad decisions and some of them cannot be fixed. truly a heart ache there is nothing on the horizon that even remotely looks good, dont say GW2 ill laugh till i wet myself.
