ashkimlou Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 No it's not, technical advances have nothing to do with launching something as complex as MMO. When you grow up and go to university (well maybe... maybe not) you might understand, don't worry if now this boggles your mind. It's ok OK if you say so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleConehead Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 No game is ever perfect when it first launches, especially an mmo. Bio ware and EA will fix the bugs with the patches. You could always go play the Conan mmo if swtor doesn't please you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahulena Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) For me: I have 36lvl Imperial Agent, 32lvl Trooper and 24lvl Bounty HUnter. Playing almost every day with friends from other MMOs and real life, yet trying to enjoy things, having amazing gaming so far. Epic experience might not be the best expression to describe it, but yeah... I am having a great time if you ask me. Epic fail for some other gamers? Well.... not all people have the same taste. Not a big deal. Edited January 16, 2012 by Mahulena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinedoc Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 epic experience as a solo game, well maybe slightly below epic when you realize it's 50 levels of go kill 10 rats with very nice cinematics. epic fail as a MMO. I know many on here are happy with this being Kotor with a chat box, but that's not my idea of a MMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you grow up and go to university (well maybe... maybe not) you might understand, don't worry if now this boggles your mind. It's ok you are all sorts of wrong. I am not a rift fanboy, but please just look at this: http://forums.riftgame.com/official-rift-news/patch-notes/index3.html The game was buggy at launch, but the amount of fixes and the timeframe is the new standard for MMOs, and SWTOR has absolutely failed thus far at even being close to this. This is 2012, we can expect a certain level of polish at this point. We are allowed to ask "Why do MMOs need to be terrible at launch?" and we are allowed to complain about it, and stop giving our $15. Only way to tell future developers that this garbage is no longer acceptable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarjarloves Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So there we have it I leave you with the question- epic experience or epic fail? FALSE DICHOTOMY Those aren't your only two choices so stop trying to make it out as if it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlxzor Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 More of a fail in my opinion, it's an alright game but my main problems is that all the "races" are just reskins and that it's more of a single player experience rather than an actual MMO.

Oh jeez you know nothing of the star wars universe to do you? Apart from a few non-humaniod races, a majority of races in star wars are humanoid, human hybrids, and with humans being the most populated race thoughout the universe Edited January 16, 2012 by aVmuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashkimlou Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 I agree as a single player or even 2 man campaign the game is absolutely awesome. The scenery, interaction and character alignment are absolutely unique. As an mmo, hmm not sure if it will make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from a few non-humaniod races, a majority of races in star wars are humanoid, human hybrids, and with humans being the most populated race thoughout the universe What does that have to do with my opinion? I'd rather have different races with different animations rather than just reskins. In response to your edited post, the fact that all the races are humanoid is not an excuse and doesn't change the fact that all the "races" are just reskins. Even Star Wars Galaxies had more in the way of playable races. Edited January 16, 2012 by dlxzor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to tell future developers that this garbage is no longer acceptable... I think you are confusing things here, one thins is "not having features" another is "being buggy". The first part, the one you seem to refer, is largely SUBJECTIVE, as in: you think LFD and addons are a FUNDAMENTAL part of a MMO, many other people disapprove. As a matter of fact, I left Rift after they introduced the LFG tool. Also, it's your opinion (and thank god you are a minority here too) that this game is TERRIBLE while most people will tell you this is the best launch of an MMO in years. I was in Rift, while the launch was pretty smooth, that game didn't have the same amount of people TOR had at launch and that counts toward glitches and technical problems. I think you are overexaggerating. This is probably not the game you WANTED, that doesn't make it TERRIBLE (actually, seen your TASTES, I am happy it turned out like this!)

Littlevicar Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yea so many game breaking bugs, wait what? I didnt exprience any, but i guess those green lines are game-breaking for some people. If you think there were no game breaking bugs at launch you should google: Darkside bounty hunter Now that idiot is dealt with, i kinda agree.

aVmuse Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What does that have to do with my opinion? I'd rather have different races with different animations rather than just reskins. Your opinion has been made because 1) you dont understand biology, lol how else would you walk with 2 legs, especially if they would have similar bone structures to a human do you expect them to waddle, and i can get more in depth but whats the point.

I didnt say there isnt any game breaking bugs, I know there are some, but people say the Kira bugged romance is game-breaking when it isnt really, it doesnt stop your class story :/ And searching google for "Darkside bounty hunter" only came up with 1 result complaint, but by all means you can check the other 3.36million results. I guess people must be idiots when they point out bugs like green-lines and other petty bugs are game breaking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesmode Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am really enjoying this game. I, for one, was never into the whole RP scene, or really cared about the Story while playing other MMOs. During my 6 year MMO experience, Ive played many games. While I knew what the basic story was, some more than others, I never cared about my "role" in the "world". Taking my time to level up in SWTOR has really been enjoyable. With that said, the immense story isnt for everyone. Some people like to rush to 50 and do end game stuff. It is their dime. I just ask that people at 50 be patient with the game. WoW had its major issues during launch, now look at it. SWTOR had a more succesful launch than WoW. I can see this game garnering a large player base, with many end game functions. Be patient. The game has been out less than a month. Enjoy the game for what it is right now, a story driven MMO. Do not expect it to be raid/endgame/pvp heavy just yet. Let them work out the kinks, figure out what works and doesnt, what the community really wants and doesnt, and give them time to impliment it. You will regret it if you quit a game that has been out for only a month, that has years of development in it. This is truely an amazing game.
