From Ray and Greg: thank you for playing!

[Nubias]

Uh-huh..

[Bellowz]

Wow do these guys even know that the game should have been tested and so far is patching hell? I guess if they admitted the truth they would have to take responsibility for the crap they didnt test. Century of ignorance and self butt kissing i guess. So sad because this could have been a great game if not for the constant updates that are never as short as they claim and the fact that every ticket is never responded to but yet somehow closed. Way to go, you figured out the WOW method of ignoring tickets and acting like you helped by closing it with no reply. Blizzard and Sony all over again. Thanks.

Sorry to be off topic a bit but need feedback and am also hoping that BW people can see this and give me some feedback also - please let me know what you think

 

Suggestions for new features and improvements from a fan/player

 

After playing in beta and pre-launch and up to now I want to air some things that I feel need to be addressed urgently to help this great game mature and grow and be even more fun:-

 

1. MisssionsMissionsmissions - not enough of them right now which means levelling is not as quick as it could and should be. Content at levels 7-10 is barely enough to keep progression smooth and rapid and it stutters.

why do I have to be 2 or 3 levels higher to solo the class bosses generally?? that makes no sense. if this is a solo class quest then ot should be close but very do-able at the level it is set at. and since it is a class quest then it should be do-able solo. To go back and try 7 or 8 times is frustrating to say the least and makes things VERY grindy (no fun in any game - should be a pleasure not a chore)

A common fault in many games that would be WOW-killers is to think the play will keep people rather than the content. this is wrong. density of content (LOADS more missions and things to do to go up) is what keeps things going.

Content when you get to level 24+ is VERY VERY thin in terms of quantity and this needs to be addressed URGENTLY please

Hint - LOTRO is aiming for 200+ quests per area (partially completed already) that are level specific - most of which are not class restricted and 75% of which are solo-able - hint - this REALLY works superbly!!!!!

 

2. Ship - Why can't I have a quick travel point in my ship? going to and fro is a REAL pain. Can we do this please?

 

3. Credits - progression too slow and rewards from missions too small - they do not scale as they should - recommend 30-50% increase but definitely an increase.

 

4. 40k for speeder ride skill and another 8k for the speeder is obscene - the costs should be halved to make around 24k total...have to do unbelievable and excessive amounts of grinding of all kinds to get that cash - understand game economics and the idea of balance but most people HATE grinding.

If it comes to a choice between grinding and economics then minimize the grinding - because grinding makes people switch to other games in the long term and we do not want that

 

5. Crafting - this needs HUGE amounts of work. progression is WAY too slow and getting new recipes to go up is poor... why can't recipes be part of mob drops like in other games? use them or sell them for cash and expand the economy and everyone benefits.

Also people should be able to select their craft skills with a small tutorial at the beginning during char generation.... many people leave it too late like I did first time and waste lots of creds getting it up to the level they need it at to gather on the world they are playing on - no fun...

 

6. Ship battles - Timers are too short!!!! 25% more please then we have a chance of doing these successfully within 2 or 3 levels of the task.

 

7. Solo Content - not everyone wants to group - a significant portion of people play MMOs to live within their own story line - or because of RL commitments that mean they have to log at short notice (letting down group members - bad!). MORE SOLO CONTENT (MISSIONS!) fixes this.

 

8. Store - Can we have one in the future? where we can spend real money for points and then spend the points in the store for speeders, skills, items, recipes and loads more???

It boosts revenue for Bioware and gives more options to players. I would certainly give money for this and I think many more people more would if the items and options were good value and useful

 

hope this gives some ideas to the devs to improve and grow the game, to keep people playing and to add new people/subscribers!!!!

 

We love what has been done and all want to see more!!

 

Wow. Those are awful.

 

So you want to make it WoW NGE with a cash shop!?

you do not understand bioware management as long as they get the money to have this mmo running if not they close it down eventually so if the dev cannot provide the quality the bioware advertisers promised on e3 and other events.

There should be some serious talk behind closed doors where the problem is.

But never forget we are only customer we can only accept what bioware decides if we like it or not that's how it is

Hats off to the developers for such a disappointing game. I have played every Star Wars game since the Super Nintindo first episode series in the early 80's but I never new playing a game would 1. cost so much to play. By that I mean the cost of the software(70.00) and monthly fee(15.00) so plaing this game would cost around 200.00 plus a year. Not to mention the computer upgrades to my system. I was so looking forward to this. Myself personally love the Star Wars Saga and I play for the stories. There is nothing better than to emerse myself in the Star Wars Galaxy, but after a weeks of playing( for hours each day I might ad) I found the game unbeatable unless you sink yourself into the online world with others. I myself care nothing for the make friends and play aspect of this game. I have live friends I do live things with. I hope one day Bioware and Lucas Arts developes a scaled down version for just playing thru the story. But untill then I have stopped playing. I hope all have fun with this.

This guy is SPOT-on, minus the part about how much it costs.

[pocketthesaurus]

This guy is SPOT-on, minus the part about how much it costs.

Yeah, he's spot-on in saying that he can't stand being forced to socialize in an MMO.

 

I'm really trying to figure out what this game is, now... Some people whine that it's NOT an MMO and they can't find groups, etc... This guy is basically complaining that it IS an MMO.

If paying $200 to play a game for a year is too much for you, then it would seem that gaming should be pretty far down the list of priorities for you.

[SWGVet]

Thanks Greg, look forward to more updates and patches. Cheers.

[bloomfireblade]

all in all its okay but the support is a disaster sorry to say.

if you delete characters by accident and are unwilling to compensate for the loss i see that as disappointing.

secondly i still see no hood down on cloaks and 3rd the character creation has still not be improved .

I beginning to think that the dev are unable to fix this aspects due their knowledge of hero engine because you could have gained a 10/10 rateing on ign but you failed due to the factors i mentioned above .

Its one thing to promise something with words but unable let action follow these words is disappointing.

As for stability i have not yet encountered crash black screen or anything what a majority faces my main problem is that no good items are sold on the market and thatb on full server . I hear it all the time in chat no credits the costs for speeder piloting are to high

well for crying out loud then sell items that people need that's what the market has made for

I cannot invest credits cause no one sells what i need.

Sorry to be rude to some of you but if i have credits to spend i do not want to sit on them just because no ones offer good items in certain sections of the market items

Not sure if serious

[bloomfireblade]

Not sure if serious

 

i am always serious what i post aside others who have crash problem's i still wait that to happen sorry how old is mass effect 2 and how old is the republic ?

so why is it that the character creation is better on mass effect 2 then in the old republic all though mass effect 2 is older or is that not bioware making ?

and as for the hood down If Star Wars Galaxy had this options i see no reason why the dev here fail to do so They claim to be better well now they got the chance to prove this

and as for the level cap that's really hilarious Level 50 whats the matter no idea for items beyond the level 50 mark ?

but if they want to loose people to wow and guild wars 2 this are the right way to do it

Like i always say Bioware management decides what will become of the old republic not you or me

[KoldrenWild]

Playing!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE???? Is this a joke??? Most of the players cannot get the game running normaly.... I, for one, since I bought it cannot get further than the launcher!!!!! Loks like that swtor is an Epic Fail. Stick to single player RPG with narrow corridors, this is clearly not for you to handle, Bioware!

[KennethHoover]

Enjoying the game so far. Looking forward to future patches and fixes, however.

3/10 Kind of looks serious for a bit, but too many exclamation/question marks.

then your system is not meant for SWTOR i have it runing since 13th december exept for 1 loding screen error i have no problem at all

and just because your system cant handle the old republic do not blame Bioware for your misery its not perfect true but show me flawless scifi mmo that has no bugs

[TomWhiting]

Playing!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE???? Is this a joke??? Most of the players cannot get the game running normaly..

no, no

MOST players are playing this game just fine.

The (vocal) minority can not play this game, and that's because of their system, NOT because of the game

[Zuenson]

After last patch i cant play the game it crashes after 10 minutes..

Is this gonna be fixed or what?

it si your video card since you say you have no signal and customer support answers tickets in 7 days aside a load screen bug i had no trouble aside the green lights on tatooine and threats will not help here Bioware does what they think is right even if we both disagree on some actions they do thats how it is and as any other mmo company handles such issue

"I want an xbox version that makes me feel like I am apart of an episodic story line, has a dramatic story arch and a conclusion that reflects the moral choices I have made." (ME)

 

 

 

All you did was take Star Wars Galaxies and improve it. Other than that, your game so far has been tedious. I feel nothing for the character I created, and I feel nothing for the characters and NPCs I interact with, (AND I REALLY WANT TO FEEL SOMETHING FOR THESE CHARACTERS and NPCs) there is no story and there is no story arch-YOU NEED A DRAMATIC STORY ARCH-WHICH REQUIRES A CONCLUSION. And lets face it you cant have a conclusion with an MMO!

 

 

 

There is no sense of impending dread, or ominous sense of doom, BECAUSE THERE CAN NEVER BE AN ENDING.

 

 

 

I play the game with the soul purpose of building a character, so I can watch a story unfold-and I am getting to the point where I simply don't care for your story, because there is no ending! I don't feel like I am interacting with the story or apart of an epic struggle. I feel like I am watching a theatre students crappy play, where all the characters represent the author, and it is like I am listing to some ******e talk to himself for an hour.

 

 

 

Also the game is too difficult to get through, and I feel I am wasting my time building a character just to watch your idea of a Star Wars Movie.

 

 

 

This sucks!

 

 

 

I want an xbox version that makes me feel like I am apart of an episodic story line, has a dramatic story arch and a conclusion that reflects the moral choices I have made. This should give the player a feeling that they were a participant rather than an observer. So far I feel like an observer.

 

 

 

You cannot have that with an MMO! Not unless you incorporate episodes into the game and hire a team of writers and designers to program it. Tell your corporate Masters that you will eventually go the way of Star Wars Galaxies, because geeks like me will get tired of the never ending quest with no point and eventually the people who stay will grow up and get jobs and cut your service. Like I am cutting it when my subscription ends.

 

 

 

I am not trying to be rude, or impress you, I am simply trying to get you guys to go back to what you had with KotOR. It was a true art form, it was interactive and fun. It incorporated concepts and philosophical quandaries I could use in class. Now you have a never ending run on sentence, with no thesis, no works cited page, and point.

 

 

 

Thanks, but I am done with your service as soon as the subscription is up.
