Game needs work

Recommended Posts

First let me say I am a big fan of the Star Wars franchise. Played every game that even has star wars in the title. That being said I wish they would of released this game a couple months later. Let me explain (sorry for wall of text)

I cancelled my sub today because I feel like the game needs to much work.

1) very tedious. The grind is to long in this game with not much reward. You get so many abilities early on so every time you level up its like a new present than it just upgrades of old abilities. Should of spread them out more. Cut the leveling down too it takes to long.

2) So many bugs in this game which I report to help out. Mobs evade all the time. Cut scenes are constantly graphically messed up (I just spent 1500 on my comp with an I7 duel video card and 8 gigs of ram).

3) Change the talents so they don't feel so much like wow. I know there is only so many things a player can do, but if you like at the classes most are pretty close wow.

example: marauder warrior feels almost entirely like arms or fury warrior based on which tree you decide to go down. Inquisitor feels like rogue

 

I really hope this game makes some changes so I can play it again. I love the class story lines and choosing the Dark side is great, but let's speed up the game play and fix pvp. I guess last thing I should say is keep the good and redo the bad it has great potential

Let me explain how moms work to you. MMO's (in the wow sense) are based on the pellet system. The pellet system is named for a psychological experiment in which mice were given extra food pellets for running on the wheel for x amount of time the mice associated running on the wheel with food and began to do it more often. In mmo's you are given a new level/ability/shiny piece of gear every x amount of time spent running around and killing enemies.

 

Your second point is void by the fact that the developers haven't had to optimize and debug the game yet. What many people don't realize is that it's harder to debug a game than to code it because while coding it you have flexibility to make tweaks around the flaw to make things work, but while debugging the structure of the code is in place so you have to make the fix work in the flow like the bug did. (imagine trying to fit one of those circular lego connecters in the hole for a cross connect)

 

Last while the classes and skills are like wow thats because the class/skill system worked, and swtor already has an advantage there because we essentially have 4 classes unlike wow's 15ish which is harder to balance than a pair of stilts on a unicycle.

Obviously the game isnt perfect right now, I agree, which is why I'm just takin my time thru story modes leveling characters waiting for some changes before I head into endgame. But anyone who expected perfection right out of the gate is a fool. The game just came out, of course there are gonna be things needing fixing and features needing to be implemented. WoW was no pillar of perfection for a loooong time, not that I believe it is today, so give it some time. They invested hundreds of millions of dollars in this game, I promise itll get the attention it needs. I wasn't part of the beta, but from what I've heard from those who were, BW was pretty good about listening to complaints and addressing them, so I have faith that good things are coming.

You all make valid points and sorry for posting in the wrong section. It is just frustrating to play with a lot of bugs. Which as one of you pointed out it's a new game. I was saying that a little longer delay in release might have been able to fix those bugs. I feel in today's age a game is either going to make it from beginning or going to fail. I don't want this game to fail and that is why a longer delay could of fixed that. Initial judgement to anything mostly defines someone opinions on said subject.

I started playing with about 5 people and now no one is playing which makes it harder to play this game for me because I don't like to play by myself.
