Star Wars Old Republic

[Xeonswitch]

i know that the major content has not been testetd...its not like i didnt
played the beta..sure its against the NDA but he shares his acc with me.

and btw..a mmorpgs goal is to lvl up and pvp and get some nice stuff + some instance fun
There is nothing to do? did you just get into the beta? cause he is allready
over a half year there and there were many different beta phases with different
content. Perhaps you missed smth cause you are just new in the beta?

I have been in the beta since it was originally friends and family.

I find it hard to believe that he is sharing his account with you, since they would have banned you from beta after noticing the IP change.

@Reefer Madness: They pretty much just reinvite the majority of the testers from the previous build back regardless if you provided feedback or not.

No mmo has started without bugs and glitches. Wow had a rocky start and so will the old republic. And Im saying this and ive waited for this game for alot of years. But im still gonna say it. There will be problems.

Brand new Warzone- Hutball.

[MegaTommy]

I'm in the beta tests aswell. Having lots of fun!

i used amazon for my pre-order and you get your code directly in your mail after you finished your purchase

[sinnful]

Even if I can't play right away, I'm going to wait before getting this game. I'm getting sick of being burned by over hyped mmo's.

Honestly i'd say replace that 5770 if anything, i'm using that atm and it gives me shocking performance in SW:TOR, it's either that or my HDD that is bottlenecking my system, unless SW doesn't like to use all 4 cores of my processor or something

So, people aren't allowed to take gaming more seriously then you do? people aren't allowed to play a different way? i am sorry that when a game has a 500 million dollar budget i except big things from it, i am sorry that i expect the game developers to not be completely brain dead and mentally handicap, they chose developers who are proven to fail and guess what, they failed. you use aion as an example yet its a failed and nearly dead game in the west, since people this thread like using wow as an example so often how do you think they would have handled the issue? oh wait, they wouldn't even be dealing with it because it would have actually gotten extreme testing by both their QA team and the thousands of premades on the PTR.

and being a competitive player it completely ruins my gaming experience if some one else is exploiting bad game design, especially when i can't do the same thing.

Bad examples. Aion and swtor are niche games, unlike WoW which is your typical standard-mmo in your typical standard fantasy setting.
There's nothing wrong with being a competitive player, there's something wrong with filling this thread with your angry boy bullshit noone seems to care about.
The single player alone is easily worth the 40€.
Aion was doomed to be a f2p game, from the very beginning. All you did was quest n grind.
Swtor is a completely different game, this is the first time i ever see people saying "im trying a different char just to see the other stories".

Please keep your bullshit away from this thread. Constructive criticism is always allowed but you guys are just blatantly bashing the game since everything you said is based on your own opinion, not ours.

[Xeonswitch]

Millions Good one



Blatantly bashing the game is stupid, nothing more. To me there is nothing that affects the gameplay, i dont mash buttons like a mad man, sorry. No skill delay here or no performance issues. I run the game on highest settings in pvp on a 500€ rig, you mad? You guys are clearly doing something wrong.



Posting criticism is fine, like i said. There's a difference in saying "the pvp is screwed imho, i grinded 2 weeks for my pvp fame when others exploited it"
OR
"millions of people know numerous bugs bla bla the game will shutdown soon bla bla" THIS IS BULLSHIT and based on your way too negative opinion. You sound like a little kid who got his candy stolen.



It's way more polished. Now dont come up with bug-shit, every game has bugs. You can actually see and feel that the devs have put a shitload of work into it.
The lore is part of the game, of course you are forced to be part of it. Are you stupid or something? People play swtor because they WANT to be part of the lore, just in case you didnt know, the game is mainly made for people who are into star wars.
Ive got bad news for you if you just want to roflpwn in pvp modes with perfectly balanced and bugfree gameplay, hey, the game isnt for you.
Swtor is different from todays games, it builds around a storyline, and you are part of it. So, obviously, the quest part will always be more important than the multiplayer (pvp) part, its ****ing part of the game, its intended to be like that.

Every game is a copy from a copy, even the first mmorpg took stuff from books and cardboard games.

You have 2 options.

1.) You accept the fact that swtor is story-driven, has some bugs (none of them really affects or harms your gameplay) and will probably never have the pvp depth of aion or WAR.
or
2.) You finally shut up and spend your money otherwise.



Yes its definitely worth it. If you want ill guide you through the first stages, we could party together Im on an english pvp server

1. A massive amount of the games population identifies the gamebreaking issues.

2. You're lying about not having a delay, unless you possess a specially coded version of the Hero Engine, you are receiving animation delay.

3. Never said the game would shutdown. Still doesn't change the fact that a lot of people cancelled subs over the Ilum situation, and the slow response by Bioware.

4. In no way is SWTOR more polished than let's say...WoW. Graphically, the game is barely better on max settings.

5. Thanks for just repeating exactly what I said regarding the story. This still doesn't change the fact that the choices you make have little to no impact on the overall story, aside from gaining light/dark points. You either:
A. Kill someone and never see them again.
B. Let someone go and never see them again.
Then you ending is different depending if you're Light, Dark or Neutral. But they all pretty much end the same way.

6. Animation delay does in fact affect gameplay. The game is unoptimized, so that affects gameplay. Line of sight issues plague the game in open areas still. So that affects gameplay. Stop casting is virtually impossible with the delay, so that affects gameplay.

The story in this game isn't going to keep people playing it forever.

What else do you have?

Are you even level 50? Do you have any clue about anything regarding endgame or PvP? Cause...spoilers. The story ends.

[Xeonswitch]

No response, so you resort to memes? Classic.

You refuse to believe that anything could be wrong with the game.

[tiger1526]

Took me bout 3 days according to in game play time to get to 40 to ... And about fps why dont i struggle at all i wonder?

Oh and i play on high without shadows



U get one but u need to sub with an valid cc from the get go

probably because you're only level 40 and i haven't experienced a huge fight on ilum?

idk on my 5870, 955 BE and 8gb of ram when republic and empire have an even battle on ilum it drops my computer to its knees and then beats the shit out of it with a baseball bat, and the fleet is laggy at primetime when we have 250+ people on and they are all standing around the pvp daily terminal.

[museirain]

I don't disagree with you. And I'm not saying the QUANTITY of content needs to be there, but rather the quality. And as of right now, it's just not there.

I can agree with that. And I play it nonstop.

[Thas]

Comparing SWTOR's release to WoW's release is not a valid argument, sorry.
SWTOR came out nearly 8 years later. They had plenty of time, and plenty of resources to fix a lot of the shit still wrong with the game. WoW came out when the MMO genre was still very much in it's infancy.

I lost so bad.

[Xeonswitch]

I lost so bad.

Why did you lose so bad?

The MMO scene was most certainly not mega-extravagant when WoW was first released. Everquest had a lot of players, sure, but a lot of players at that time was merely a fraction of the people introduced into MMOs in 2004-2005.

Having multi-MMOs out, does not make the MMO genre any less new in the public view if people didn't play the games. FFXI wasn't huge. Guild Wars wasn't out. SWG was fairly new.

We had Everquest and Ultima.

There was never an MMO that brought in as many people into the genre, as WoW did.

Regardless this still doesn't change the fact that even at WoW's release, despite its bugs, it had quality and challenging endgame content. SWTOR simply doesn't.

The two games, comparing Vanilla to SWTOR since people seem to want to do this, existed at a COMPLETELY different time for the genre. From when big name companies were getting their feet wet, to when a big name company has had nearly a decade to make things right.
