RedMix Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I play about 4 hours per night every night except for Tuesdays and Thursdays when i have night classes, and i have never been happier with an MMO. We love the storylines each of our classes are progressing through, there's always outbursts on vent like we were at a roulette wheel when it comes to whos going to say what during a conversation. We just completed the War Games flashpoint and proved difficult and interesting enough for us to feel accomplished at the end. We have minor gripes here and there, about load screens, or minor quest bugs but it doesnt take up even 1/100th of our conversations regarding SWTOR... While im not playing an MMO, i like to talk about it on forums with other players, class concepts, content ideas, reviews and speculation... its usually a pretty fun pass time when you spend the day just wanting to get home and continue the game. Then you come to these forums and 8 out of 10 posts are all talking about how the world is ending, the game with over a million subscribers is apparently dying, the game is unplayable on top end machines, classes are broken, content is boring etc... And it just wears you down, it makes you want to double guess what you thought was fun, makes you think that this is all just a waste of time and we might as well go off ourselves now because no MMORPG will ever be good. Of course then i log back into the game and meet up with my friends and we have as great time once again. I just fear that one day im going to get drawn into these forums and completely lose my will to even log back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aryzyra Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There's an extremely low level of theorycrafting going on in these game forums. Variety of reasons for that. But point being, people here primarily post about social issues and technical problems. It doesn't inspire interest in playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I meet in-game love it and most people on the forums hate it, I don't understand this behaviour. It's honestly probably just trolls on the forums. I wouldn't worry about it, I think that Bioware can spot trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monjiay Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Make no mistake, this game is a LOT of fun from 1-50. Some of the class stories are epic. However, you are still paying a monthly fee just to hit fifty and either reroll or quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you are still paying a monthly fee just to hit fifty and either reroll or quit. Actually you are paying monthly to have fun and can quit when you stop having fun. As far as I was taught, that is the whole point of a game/past time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeleena Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You have to remember OP, that only the vocal minority (we are talking about maybe 5% tops) post on the forums, and the other 95% are having a blast playing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcarver Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The Forums represent a minuscule percentage of the player base. The larger percentage playing don't even know there's a problem. Seriously take ANY MMO and look at the General Forums for the first few months and also for subsequent content updates that follow and you'll see a lot of the same tripe posted there almost word for word. If these people were actually accurate in their predictions they'd be playing the stock market instead and getting rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leetanee Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I know how you feel. I posted a constructive and differentiated post in the general section earlier on and it was infested with spam within minutes. Most posts started by saying that the poster had not read the thread but apparently felt the need for negativity and attention. Meanwhile, I'm greatly enjoying the game. Of course it has serious issues, such as the skewed faction distributions and some performance issues with the engine. But that's nothing that couldn't be fixed sooner or later and down at the core design decisions Bioware has done everything right with this game. Once the smoke clears I hope we will have lost the usual internet trash and we'll have ourselves a communicative and social community. In the early days of the last month, I did not come across a single player who was not helpful and positive. So I know for a fact that they are out there, they just don't bother posting on the forums, which does not surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hung_H Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah you complainers are seriuosly ruining the game. IF i came here to check out the game before i bought it, i would think twice. Thanks to these lamers, there will be less people to play. ITS AN MMO. I WANT TO SEE MORE PEOPLE IN THE GAME. I swear you guys have this grudge against this game. The moment I discuss about how nice the game is while playing it, i get a couple of guys who jump in and whine about it being buggy. Then I counter argue and guess what happens next? "oh, another person on ignore for me cause i dont wanna hear about how im wrong ". Yet that person continues to play. Whine about the bugs but dont put the game down for others. I dont want to see only WOW guys playing this game and complaining about a lack of DUNGEON LFG TOOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
