Keep in mind, I’m a huge bioware fan. I loved mass effect & dragon age. SWTOR problems 1) Graphics are out dated, it looks like a game from 2004. If this was 2004 the graphics would of been perfect. 2) The art direction for the character models is too cartoony, like a children’s game. I can’t take any of the voice acting seriously with such cartoony graphics. You should of used a mass effect style adult art direction. 3) The quests are just mindless kill and fetch quests. There is nothing deep or meaningful about the quests. There is no bioware magic here…. 4) Let’s face it, you copied world of warcraft and slapped a star wars theme on it. Instead of showing some balls and making something new and exciting, you just took the easy way out and copied wow. 5) The combat system is simplistic, it’s so simple it’s boring. I keep getting “out of range” when I’m trying to use “guns”. Guns should have a much longer range. I was bored after 3-4 hours and couldn’t bring myself to continue with the game. ADVICE 1) Do not let anymore people into beta. Every person you let into beta is probably not going to buy the game. 2) Over hype the game as much as you can so you can make all your money back in the first month of sales. 3) Try to delay any reviewer from reviewing the game for as long as possible. Summary Please don’t let anyone working on SWTOR touch mass effect 3 or dragon age 3 …. Btw i’m not trolling, I really wanted to like this game but it’s horrible. |

I was in the beta and I can approve all the above mentioned. I am a KOTOR fan, I was very ecxited for SWTOR but the very first minutes of the game gave me a future shock. I hate all MMOs like WWO. If you want WWO you can have it because it is already there.
‘I dont have a problem with hammerhead mobs, actually i think i could make friends with the hammerheads’
While KOTOR left you a choice of avoiding a fight, SWTOR is a genocidal mess. The whole MMO setting is very static. You have the mobs patroling in a 5 meter radius and if you hit their collider they will attack you. After 5 min they will respawn which made your effort nothing. no magic there.
Also the Dialogs are very static. You might have a choice between ‘yes, no or maybe’ but it has no effect on the game.
I dont want to mess up your comment box…it is horrible.
As someone whom has only viewed all of the leaked Beta gameplay as of oct 9th,
I had prettymuch reached the same group of conclusions.
Also, I also really, really had hope for this Effort to be an immersive environment, not a static mmo on rails.
An MMO based on a Space Opera should have a better system of space combat, but they chose to ignore that little detail.
