signahead Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 My friends are doing a great job of earning my $15 subscription fee. As long as they keep logging in and we keep enjoying each other's company, I'll keep paying to play SWTOR. Most of us come to SWTOR for the great shared experience. For us, in this game, that means running PvP together. The problem is that we're not getting many opportunities for PvP. Aside from one or two die-hards, most of my friends check in, queue up for a warzone and chat for a half an hour. Then, if the queue doesn't pop, they log out again. After a couple nights like last night, where we had 1 good 8v8 war zone and two uneven ones (6v8 and 8v4) in the course of 3 hours, they disappear for a week. We keep in touch via our guild's website, but we don't really need SWTOR for that. It won't be long until we end up on another game, one where we can do more than chat and wait for nearly abandoned PvP scenarios that rarely arrive and almost never satisfy.

TBH, Bioware failed this game in in beta. they failed to monitor the previous MMO to launch (RIFT) and made almost exactly the same mistakes, specificaly regarding pvp, but were far less responsive in addressing those mistakes. the game was fun for the first month or so...while leveling for the first time. after that the source of my enjoyment of the game has come more from those i play with than from the game itself. many of those friends have slowly fallen away from SWTOR. the remainder...well...we're simply waiting to leave. we're not waiting on anything from Bioware, long since given up on that. we're waiting for a long planned real world event that happens to make it easier for all concerned to switch to something else. value entertainment for $15? maybe....but there are other options that look like they provide more value than swtor at this point.

HurricaneXXIV Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 $15 is actually a lot of money. It is a movie . This is how I compare "is it worth it?" I pay on average $15 dollars to go see a new release. That goes for 2 hours, how much do I play Star Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is trying to throw a tantrum here and quite frankly... you're ruining it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netfix was a good example except for the fact that Netfix isn't worth it, you can get those shows and more for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfVey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think our sub fee should be 25 cents for each dev post on the forums more than 2 lines long during your billing cycle, up to a max of $15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatebomb Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 As long as I am playing as little as 15 hours a month it's worth it. MMO's = best bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khoraji Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) If you think of everything that has to go into it, 15 bucks is nothing. We spend more than that on MUCH less entertaining things. Hell my ventrilo server is 2x as much. Edited May 30, 2012 by Khoraji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wargonglok Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 what i think would be very cool is if they let us do what valve did with TF2: Give us the tools to make maps on hero engine let us make maps, maps get turned in to a database, quick overview by low payed interns who just play the map looking for exploits, put into game if it works millions of crap maops wouldbe uploaded, but for every 100,000 crap mapps, there would probavbly be a good one then, if your map gets put into game, 1 year free game time see, perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumwun Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nope. Advertising potentially buggy future content insults me when there is already plenty if tings in the game that require attention. PvP, and all the horrible buggy landscape to start. I have no choice but to cancel and I don't know if I can give another company under the EA umbrella another chance. I'm let down as a fan, as a gamer, and as a paying customer with BioWare. I see no sincere attempts at saving face. That's what bothers me the most.

Look at everything else we pay for in our lives. 10 dollars at taco bell, is it always fresh, good, and exactly how you ordered it? No. How about cable? Is every show great and worth watching? no.

I expect more. you don't? good for you. I'm happy you are used to settling for less. I'm not. PvP is a mess that's what I am here for. you don't like it to bad. Till i stop giving them my 15 dollars a month I'll share my constructive opinion while you feed off the bottom, punk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waulfa Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Last few weeks pvp has almost totally disappeared on my server. Lucky if I can get into 4-5 matches a night. Nothing before 7 pm. Nothing after 9 pm (est). And yet, we hear nothing from Bioware about cross server pvp or merging servers. Paying 15 dollara a month to sit around fleet hoping a WZ pops. Love pvp in this game, but if Bioware dosent do something quick, I'm gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
