Gilmcnab Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Anyone else get bored with this over a week? Everyone defending this game seems to be pointing out its not a wow clone (so blatantly is...) but I knew that when I bought it. I was hoping for a little innovation aside from voice acting which you feel pressured to space bar through when grouped, and pointless dark/light side choices. Ooh spooky eyes... Feels like bioware just threw a single player game and Warcraft into the air and then waited for the money to rain down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have felt that way at times over the past couple months... then I started PvPing, and now I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuka Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nope, only reason am not playing as much is SSX just came out and unlike some am in no rush to get to 50 on all 8 characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuNuB Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I had a blast with the game for the first month and a half, and i still love it and want to see more class story lines. But lately, whenever i look at the shortcut on my desktop i stop and wonder if i really want to play it today. For a true fan like me this isn't a good sign. Hoping the legacy system gives me some new energy for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JansanRuno Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I like this game and I liked WoW. I wish it was more of a WoW clone. I play this one because I like Star Wars and don't care much dwarfs, orcs and the like. All the WoW clones to this point have been the dwarf and orc variety.

RobNightfall Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 To answer your question: 1) They rushed it. A lot of the bugs and things missing boil down to the game needing more time to be put together. 2) They did not research MMOs enough. A lot of the exploits that are showing up in PvP are due to the way the game is coded. Most MMOs do not use client-side position determination specifically because speed hacks, stealth hacks, flight hacks, and other things are very common once people realize that their computer's data determines (for the most part) where the game thinks they are. 3) They ignored their players and beta testers. This is the biggest issue. A lot of the bugs were in beta for a long time and the players told them about them. They were ignored. There is an infamous interview with one of the lead developers where he actually states that beta testers opinions were unimportant and that the only thing they were there to provide was statistical data. 4) They took a game engine that was not fully developed it and then re-coded it to suit their needs instead of using an already tried and tested engine. This is another source of a lot of the bugs in the game. To sum up: Lack of proper planning = piss poor performance. The 5 P's lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DEV's say: We know that a very important part of an mmo is for the game to be super resonsive.. Apparently they have not played TERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I LOVE this game; I think it knocks the other MMO's I have played into a cocked hat. What I do not understand is why so many people pay to play,m but then demand that the game is morphed and changed into something esle. Uf you dopn't like the current game, then don't play it and leave us millions who do love it to play and discuss the gamne in peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokivoid Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 What space combat should be No, Battlefront's space combat was utter crap (Infact battlefront series in general was a halfbaked attempt at copying the early battlefield series with reskinned models.) If you want a good example go look at Xwing series or hell as strange as it may sound SWG's space combat was pretty damn close, ignoring the uncanon ship mechanics (such as certain ships having shield or hyperdrive capability when they should not).

Yeah sorry, thought I'd be a little more subtle but if you need me to spell it out I can assure you I've unsubbed. Also it was never millions and it won't even be million for long.

DataBeaver Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Anyone else get bored with this over a week? Not me. I started almost two weeks ago and still haven't finished chapter 1 on my main, let alone capped her level (she's 30 at the moment). With eight classes, each with its own storyline, I expect to be entertained for at least a couple more months. 3) They ignored their players and beta testers. This is the biggest issue.

This is worrisome. I hope they learn to listen to their customers, and fast (though they'll need to retain some spine or the whiners will ruin the game).

archifikoss Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 If you don't people like it, have the decency to quit quietly instead of cluttering the forums with more useless whine threads. Or at least post in the already existing feedback threads instead of starting new ones. Are you people that desperate for attention? Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With eight classes, each with its own storyline, I expect to be entertained for at least a couple more months. I think the "unique storylines" is misleading. While its true your characters are going to have different conversations, the storyline experience feels a bit tired and somewhat repetitive the second time around. If you don't people like it, have the decency to quit quietly instead of cluttering the forums with more useless whine threads. Or at least post in the already existing feedback threads instead of starting new ones. Are you people that desperate for attention? Jeez. I'm "cluttering" up the forums because I, like many other users who started their own threads, want biowarfare to understand we feel ripped off and mislead by their claims. It's not like I tricked you into reading this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terko_Koslah Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've always wanted to play a jedi knight, or at least the little boy in me wants to play... So I play a jedi knight. Each battle is the same. Leap, sweep, sunder, blade storm, master strike and so on... I can't take it anymore...Where is the diversity and character creation?

Jandi Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 And thats the problem with every mmo since. Because it's economically and physically impossible to match warcraft while still trying improve technical aspects. They would have had to spent years more on the game to implement all the things they would have wanted to and, as much as it seems be a secret to people, we live in real world with limited resources. Then there is the fact that your first MMO is always the best and for a truckload of people, WoW was their first MMO. If you don't like the game then leave. No one is forcing you to stick around and whine day after day after day on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
