Pattotwo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So much trash, all I heard about this game is you want have to gring like Wow.... Mmmm first okay but after that there are so many cave/ tunnel quest were you have to kill 50 mobs just to get the quest the kill them all again to get out, I've been in caves 40 mins. Now if my instant travel is on CD I just log out. Never seen so much trash in a mmo. They even put on the roads so 90% of the time you can't get past anyway and if you have a 90% speeder the mobs only have to Fart and you will be knocked off your mount with everything aggroed to you. 110% speeder does get a tad better tho. Pretty much just struggle to lvl more toons, I want to but god the trash it just keeps coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpuax Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Your quick travel has a very short CD. I am almost always able to QT out of caves and such. You can also just run for it and let your companion get all the agro. Or you can just die and rez at the medic outside, repair costs are dirt cheap while leveling.

Khryn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Also if you have a security key you get a fleet pass that has a CD of one hour. Very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dranzen Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Maybe future MMOs will make it so you just have to accept the quest and then turn it in without doing anything. Too much trash - really? Is this your first MMO? Serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidirix Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 My experience (only on the republic side) is that there are very few places outside where you can't dodge the mobs and get on towards your quest objective, if you're careful to keep as far away as possible from everyone who's aggressive.

Straegen Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I agree with the too much trash sentiment. I would much rather have harder longer fights than dozens of empty mindless ones just to get to the "fun" part. Some people like the grind though so to each his own I suppose. As for travel time, there is too much of a time drain traveling in this game. I don't care that it is partially instanced or the world would be too small if they sped up travel. I just want to maximize the time I get to play the game and travelling to and fro is not fun in my book. Probably great for those people who can play for hours on end, but for many of us married guys our play time is quite limited so spending a half hour on a DK run sucks.

areto Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 LOL.

Calimwulf Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 you can't see there being a problem with the world be small and instanced AND having overly long and annoying travel time? The travel times are not long nor annoying. The instancing adds flavor and keeps other folks from ruining my story, though I can bring others with me if I so desire or have need. I ended up seeing a level 36 class story cause the guy needed some help. It was good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuno Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have really never found it a problem. Most of the time when i have been fighting to get to my objective and completed it, the enemy hasnt respawned yet. Perhaps i would advise killig things quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fairly easy to weave through the mobs, though honestly I love just rolling through them. Loot and XP Have your tried a stealthy toon yet? They can avoid mobs really well, though ... Did I mention that killing mobs gains you loot and XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akamacklroy Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 If you are in a cave for 40mins....your qt will never be on cd.....just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrpak Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 There are 2 stealth classes on both sides, please roll one. Assassin/shadow is dps/tank, operative/scoundrel is dps/heal. Go in, go out, only kill for the bonus xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigchristophe Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I got tired of all the trash fighting too then I just started running through it all. It usually isnt a problem, most of the time they bug out and cant even attack you because of line of sight issues and maybe I have to pop a medpac or defensive cooldown but it sure beats killing them all.

Those other folks "ruining" your story? Why do people who think other players being around is nothing but an inconvenience to them play MMOs?

CedricDur Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It *is* true that there is too much trash, especially when playing a class without real AoE (lookin' atchu, Sage), but you just need to manage your QT better. That's about it. Don't use it willy nilly and you'll find that the half hour timer is always up by the time you need it. Use it, for example, when sent into a cave, but if you're outside just travel to the taxi. A good tip I've discovered is that when you're sent to do quests don't travel back to the quest giver! Instead keep going forward, invariably quests given by a hub will put you close to the next hub, who invariably has a taxi. A common mistake is using the speeder to the quests then use the speeder back to the town then use the speeder back to where you already were and travel some more to find the next town. So do your quests and travel forward, find the town, taxi back, deliver, taxi to the town you just found and pick the new quests. Rinse and repeat. It saves a lot of time once you keep this in mind. If you *are* outside and you see mobs blocking the way? Don't stop. dismount just before getting in agro range and keep running. Ignore your companion, it'll respawn at full HP next time you dismount. A hundred meters later and the mobs will have reset and you can mount up again.

Dlema Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The only thing that pisses me off about the trash, is that there is a hell of a lot on the actual roads/paths which just adds inconvenience to traveling to and from quest/places.. Other then that meh they don't bother me at all in area's where u would expect trash to be "caves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKhaos Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I've been in caves 40 mins. Now if my instant travel is on CD I just log out. Poor attempt at a troll. The QT cooldown is 30mins. Thank you come again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make simple corridor-ish maps, put lots of static NPC's all over the place for the most glaring and lazy timesink there is and hear they shout how good of a game it is.

Zannis Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'm OK with the amount of trash in the game. What I disagree with are the current respawn timers in most caves, particularly the Belsavis daily caves. The quest where you have to mark the 4 jail cells with the Xenovirus carriers...yeah. Trash will literally spawn behind you while clearing the next group. I don't mind clearing a cave on the way in, it's having to clear it alllll over again on the way out where it becomes a drag.

themacr Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 It's an MMO, Though I agree with you at some stages it feels like the trashkilling is everything I do, And i agree that the tunnels are anoying as hell at times. This is an MMO and this is a designchoice Bioware has made. I can live with it but would like to see them take the lvling process in a different direction when launching future expansions. (more long epic fights and less trash would be nice but I'm afraid that would mean we have even more instancing then we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
