Lord-Aleph Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Probably not, since it was Star Wars and the KotOR games that brought me here in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWarrior Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hard to say but I usually try ever mmorpg on the market. I gave TOR a greater chance though being my monumental faith in Bioware. I already unsubbed once though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadgaurd Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I am playing the game first & foremost I am a Star Wars fan and second I need my Kotor fix. I played both Kotor 1 & 2 multiple times and always wanted a Kotor 3; I guess this is the closest I can get. I am so far liking the voiced protagonist as compared to previous Kotor games though still the game sometimes feel more like a mmo than a rpg but it's good enough.

Wolfeisberg Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes I would still play, for just about as long as I did with SWTOR before cancelling, which is about 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khreed Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 no,1 - lack of quality content with too much emphasis on sophmoric written storylines and shallow immersion I doubt my spacebar will last through another month.2 - extremely unbalaned PVP with little to no real incentive for real world PVP3 - just another daily / weekly grind with a new skin nd a lot of work needed I am currently debating unsubbing, despite just auto-renewing for 3 months. End of June is deadline for Bioware and my money. If it weren't for the guild I am in and have played with for years I would have already went back to WOW or killed more time with other games like a replay through skyrim or more BF3 or Arkam city again...

GhoXen Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Depends. There are other franchises I'm quite interested in. If it's based on Dragon Age and has an Origin style instead of DA2 style to it? Absolutely.If it's based on Mass Effect universe? Asar- I mean yes.However since the game is made by BioWare and I'm a sucker for BW stories, then I probably will dig for the game even if it's based on a completely new IP. On the other hand if this MMO, even if based on Star Wars, is made by a less reputable company, then I may not be as interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippiechick Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I almost DIDNT play because it is Star Wars. Im not big on SciFi and the only thing I knew about SW before I played this was that Luke Skywalker is a good dood and Darth Vador is a mean dood. I now know better and know a LOT about the story lol. But yeah, I have a blast in it and Ill be here a while. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurokDarkstar Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Seeing as how the game is heading for a very intensive gear progression system, with emphasis being put on PvE content/balance over PvP content/balance -- I suspect the IP just isn't enough to keep my frustration at bay for much longer. However, up until this point I've only played it because of Star Wars. So no, without the pew pew -- I wouldn't play it. Gear progression system.PvP statLack of world PvP/community.

Dawginole Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 But it is Star Wars. This is a silly question. Of course most of us are playing because it is the Star Wars universe. I wouldn't have played FFXI if it wasn't Final Fantasy. In fact, that's one reason I quit Final Fantasy XIV. It didn't feel like Final Fantasy. I want to play a Star Wars mmo. Why would anyone play an mmo in which they were not attracted to the world the game existed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindorin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nope, however please read... i think this was a loaded question. Primarily because the game is made simply by the fact of being Star Wars. The whole ambience and setting of the game is what makes it enjoyable. If it were another MMO, it would already be discussing going F2P right now. But because of the IP and the huge amount of material the Devs can work with, it's an amazing game with a lot of potential. Some of it's flaws are: - Lack of End Game Content.- Lack of Group Finder for FP's and Raids.- Lack of a rated WZ option, though it's coming.- Lack of available Character Transfers/Low Server Ops.

reagan_youth Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I probably would because I like Bioware games. I also like MMOs in general, though setting is a big selling point for me. I also like RPGs having stories, and if the game still focused on storytelling with a different IP, I would have definitely checked it out, and if that story was ok, I would still be playing it.

Deyjarl Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If this game was not Star Wars, but some other lore/world/universe, would you still play? Probably not. It's not that there is anything wrong with this game mechanics wise. The setting, story, lore that matters most for me anymore I'm just not interesting in other settings right now. I'm tired of fantasy games like WoW or LotRO. I enjoy the Star Wars universe. There is probably only one other setting I'd consider playing this game if it was set in that setting, and that is an MMO that is the Warhammer 40k universe. But in a heads up, same game mechanics, Star Wars vs Warhammer, I'd pick Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YodaJones Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nope Im only paying cause my Dad does and when Battle Front 3 comes out we will make that our new game. Customer service in this game is probably the worst part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrie Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nope, I've never been able to play MMO's for very long before I get bored, only this and Star Wars Galaxies has been able to keep me. The StarWars IP aside what would make me leave is: No meaningful rewards for open world PvPPvP TTK is far far far to shortPvE content doesn't meet my expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgelling Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I have no use for medieval fantasy games - if it weren't Star Wars what would the game be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentinelDranoel Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Yes 1) I actually like the gameplay. I prefer more action based mmos. No auto-attack and macros for please. 2) It is still a Bioware game, I only like 2 rpg developers, Bioware and Bethesda 3) Story mode co-op plus companions. I am tired of running around by myself looking for groups all the time in a mmo. I can play the entire game with my fiance in story mode and watch us interact. Fun! 4) Champions Online and DFO are the only other 2 mmos I am into right now. Have 7 Alts in Champions and 3 max level characters. DFO grindfest caused me to quit. 5) High Fantasy no longer appeals to me. Sci-Fi is what I want to see. 6) Played the original Guild Wars, not bad but nowhere near great for me. Not a fan of their style. 7) Best pvp I have personally played in a MMO. Warzone objectives beat basic team deathmatch anyday. 8) THIS GAME HAS LOTS OF POTENTIAL. I HAVE SEEN MMOS TRANSFORM OVER THE COURSE OF TIME AS THEY ADD BETTER FEATURES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zainichi Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 No I wouldn't. But I'd be more interested in knowing if people would still play this game if it had the normal MMO-world ( you know the usual, elves, dwarves, humans, shields, axes, etc.) or would they just have joined the bandwagon and subscribed to WOW knowing that it had the largest player base out there. I mean sure people would still probably try this game out but would they stick with it in the long run? I know its been said a million times, but this game reminds me too much of WOW in every aspect. I know a game like EQ2 also has the same aspects as WOW, its just the "feel" that SWTOR has that reminds me more of WOW than any other MMO out there. So, if I was an Orc swinging my axe in SWTOR, I dont think it would be long before Id be back playing whatevere it was I was playing before. I've tried it before. It was called Warhammer Online.

I mean sure people would still probably try this game out but would they stick with it in the long run? If it had the same approach as SWTOR (class stories etc.) then absolutely. I like BW games, have for a looooong time. In fact, the Star Wars aspect of this is NOT what interests me. I wish it'd been DAOnline. As for WoW? No thanks, left in 2007 and have no interest in returning. I know its been said a million times, but this game reminds me too much of WOW in every aspect.

Shingara Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If this game wasnt SWTOR then we wouldnt be playing in the world we are with the class's we are or with the ships we have and the lore behind it, so how can we answer this question ?

SentinelDranoel Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If this game was not Star Wars, but some other lore/world/universe, would you still play? If yes, list 3 reasons why. If no, list 3 reasons why. Constructive and civilized responses only please. By the way, you do know the Star Wars franchise is more well known and well received then the entire mmo genre. THe game does not even have to be good, Star Wars fans will purchase it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
