POLL: 50 yet? Bored or rolling alts and happy?


TheHastyTadpole

Recommended Posts

So, just wondering, how many are already 50 and "done/bored"?

 

Ive read people claiming "at least 75% of the players are already 50 and bored" or "only 10% of the people have hit 50" and even the "half of us have hit level 50 but half of those are fine with rolling alts"

 

Personally at this time I have a Commando at 30, Scoundrel at 26, Operative at 22, Merc at 17, Shadow at 16 and several in the low teens.

 

So far, Ive enjoyed having alts, and as long as I split them up (republic light side, empire dark side, republic dark options, you get the point) I havn't gotten bored with the stories. Even the common/world mission strings are fun again after a week or so and choosing the different dialogue options.

 

I don't hate on players/guilds who race to max level. They actually make my experience better, as they <spacebar spacebar spacebar, 4-8 hours playing a day, everyday> and report bugs for stuff I havnt even been to yet. Now its all fixed for me when I get there, casually playing 2-4 hours a day, 3 or 4 days a week.

 

So in MY OPINION, we need the race-to-endgamers just to report bugs on the high end content, but constantly hearing them complain about no end game content gets old for me personally. I commend you on your choice to dedicate your entire life to this game by playing so much, but please don't get upset when after you cross the finishline, it takes a little while for the game to catch up.

 

Now lets see if I can figure out how to make this a poll. . . . . .

 

And apperently we cannot make polls, or I cant see the button. Oh well. At least we have search?

I have a level 50 Jedi Shadow. And yes...I enjoyed leveling him immensely. And there is still stuff I could be doing with him. But I am playing 6 other alts at this time. I will play one until his rested exp is up and then move to another one..rinse and repeat. The differences in classes and stories is a ton of fun. Not bored at all.

I have a 50 Trooper vanguard, a 40 Sith Marauder, a 22 Gunslinger, a 19 Mercenary, a 16 Jedi Guardian, a level 11 Sith Sorcerer and a level 10 Jedi shadow, and I'm having a blast. I have a few issues with the game, but they're all due to be fixed in the coming patches. On topic, I've got to say that the Trooper story wasn't very interesting, but once I hit endgame I started enjoying the class a lot, and I'm now full champion/centurion. Regarding the other classes, I'm loving the story of every and each one of these, especially the sith, and the Gunslinger and Mercenary, even if both at a low level. So I'm happy with both the endgame and the alts.

Alts are a chore to play because I've already seen this and that on the same faction. The worlds are so dead that there isn't much to occupy you as you run around doing your missions. If there were there might be more distance between me recalling the details of being on this or that planet and doing the same mission again.

 

Case in point if there were a swoop racing circuit I could be diverted to doing that during or after my class mission. That is just one such 'thing' that could add to the game's world for people to have things to do.

 

I started as a BH and enjoy my republic alts more because at least I haven't run through all their missions/worlds already but I can't send them anything so that is hella lame. I have a hard time doing more than one alt as it then turns into "I was just here".

 

I'm glad your bugs are getting fixed I still see the same ones from beta.

 

I haven't hit end game yet but I wonder why bother as there isn't much there for me. I have little interest in having my 'heroic' characters stand around and running the same ops/fp/raids day in and out.

There isn't enough different content to justify rolling that many characters, especially considering the stories are not THAT good. I'll have a toon for each role I want to raid in, and that's it.

I didn't make it to 50. :(

 

Gunslinger - 47 (almost 48)

Sage - 40

Operative - 19

Vanguard - 17

Scoundrel - 17

Sniper - 14

 

Various others levels 12 and less. Ultimately, and perhaps ironically, it was the 'story' aspect of the game and the reliance on voice acting and cutscenes to tell it that finally wore me out. "This time it will be different! This time, Toto is a chihuahua and Dorothy has blue eyes!"

 

Sarcasm aside, I don't hate the game or Bioware for making it. It's just - and I don't know how else to say it - a big disappointment.

I reached level 50 on my Trooper a while ago. I am doing HM Flashpoints almost daily, and Operations 2 days a week, and loving the game.

 

I also have -

 

Level 18 - Maraduer

Level 16 - Sniper

Level 14 - Guardian

Level 10 - Scoundrel

 

While I am playing alts a bit more lately, I am still loving and enjoying this game ALOT.

50 Sage

45 Guardian

26 Mercenary

 

Various other alts, not bored in the slightest yet, haven't even botherd starting with the cap stuff as i'm enjoying the other characters to much, will focus more on the "grind" once i got a few to cap :-)

 

Saving a couple of classes for the legacy system, Sith Warrior (hoping for a twi'lek here) Agent and Smuggler, got my hopes up for twi lek or Miralian agent, and Rattataki or Chiss smuggler. (chiss seems as unlikley as jedi getting purebloods, but can hope ;-) )

Only have my 50 shadow, no alts, and I'm still loving it.

 

Things on my list to do every day are:

 

Daily Warzones,

Daily Ilum PvP,

PvE dailies

HM Flashpoints

HM Operations

 

I probably play 3 hours a night which is often enough to get my pvp dailies done as well as some pve dailies. If I run a HM FP or an ops then that takes up time instead.

 

The reason I'm still running these things is to gear up and have fun. I've only done a few HM FPs and they are quite fun but I don't have the gear. Similarly I have near full champ gear but missing a piece or two and only valor 47 so a long way to go before I even start on BM gear. I also want to gear up all my companions, even tho there is no point :p

 

If I only pvped, I'd be bored as ilum sucks and there are only 3 warzones.

 

If I only pve'd, I'd be nearly bored as gearing up in columi is pretty easy, could easily do 3-4 FPs a night and the raids are fairly easy too.

 

But, as I both PvE and PvP there is still tons for me to do and when I get bored of one, I start on the other.

I am green bar or two from 47 (not 50 yet) but, I can tell you I am not bored. I think my plans after I hit 50 will be to farm some of the lower level heroics. I want to get commendations so I can deck out my alternate characters. I rolled 1 character per class on the server.

 

I figure there is a lot that can be done at 50:

 

  • You can get tier 1, 2, or 3 PvE armor / gear for your toon. Granted this requires running Flashpoints which requires group searching.
  • You can get tier 1, 2, or 3 PvP armor / gear for your toon. Granted this requires grinding PvP warzones which requires a lot of PvP grinding. LOL.
  • You can run Flashpoints or Heroics so that you can use the drops or commendations to gear up your alternate characters or even enhance all of your companions.
  • I fully plan on doing this myself (at least with one character from both the empire and republic)... Get all of the codex items for your lore. The codex has a counter that tracks what you have unlocked. I want to unlock everything.
  • Again, I fully plan on doing this myself... I want to run through each class quest storyline at least 1 time. So that means playing each class. I tend to flip between Republic and Empire so I don't feel like I am playing planets "on repeat" so much.
  • This is always ongoing but, trying to get crafting done. I would like to unlock the advanced (purple) for the crafting skill I have selected. Right now I have been focusing hardcore on my artifice. Just for example.

 

I think the people who are generally complaining about a "lack of stuff to do" just are not slowing down and enjoying the game. I think they expect they are going to get a pat on the back for getting to 50 fast, getting "l33t" gear fast, blah blah blah FAST! The disappointment is when they push to get there and find out... "Okay, I am here... Now what?".

 

Just my 2 credits worth.

Virtually everyone I know that has reached 50 has rolled an alt to keep from being bored.

 

I just turned 50 and I can see why. Though I am having fun with PvP, but I think because it's new for me.

 

There's a lot to do at 50. If anyone is bored at 50 then they are refusing to participate in what lvl 50s can do.

No, there's enough. It's totally your choice to "justify" it or not.
