Instances so far in my experience have been reasonably challenging. Your story quests aren't, but that's okay in my book.



WoW in patch 4.3 had a blue post stating they were happy with the way the game was working out in response to a post from somebody saying they had never killed an end boss in any expansion before, but killed deathwing in a PUG on release week. I will never touch that game again, ever.

What motivation is there to get gear, to improve my character, to optimise, to theorycraft, if i can see all of the content without doing any of it?

Sure, you get better gear, but the existance of a super easy mode in the first place makes that gear worthless in my eyes. You dont actuly need it in order to see content even two or three tiers ahead of you if you play half decently.

Any MMO worth playing, in my eyes, has to have something to strive for, a challenge, a way to improve and do things easier (increasing DPS levels at a time where your raid is trying to progress) or generally make meaningful changes to your character, a way to win battles with brain where most others would fail... If that doesnt exist, it just feels like facebook 3d to me, and what enjoyment is there in beating a challenge that wasnt a challenge in the first place?

A few years ago, after missioning in EVE and doing some grinding in a few other games, i decided that if i could spend >50% of my playing time in the game watching a movie on a second screen without notably hurting my performance, the game wasnt worth playing to me. I will stand by that.

Is SWTOR one of those games?



Quoting myself for bump

User was warned for this post

Firstly defending EVE: you were probably doing it wrong. :D

Regarding everything else, the game has only been officially out for 2 days now. We can't tell you much about the end-game content, nor can we tell you anything about how BioWare seems to be taking their game.

What I can tell you is that I fully 100% recommend spending the 45 pounds or whatever to buy the game and experience the 8 different quest lines. Whether or not you should continue to pay the subscription is a different matter entirely and depends on the issues we've been debating in this and other threads.

Oh man I had some trouble with a couple bosses in my storyline (jedi knight) once I got to 25 I think was a bit challenging iirc. Its not amazingly challenging but I have had some tough boss fights that took me a few times to beat.

Idk if its as easy as WoW considering this is the first MMO I have actually played a lot like getting to 37 already . But I mean if you aren't into story's or anything then I don't know if I would recommend this game to you.

I just had a question for you considering you said this is your first mmo do you recommend this at all to other first timers? I have played minor ones in the past and enjoyed them a bit but I really am interested in the game but a bit cautious as to if I will actually stick to the game or not. So I would just like to get your opinion on it all


I played a few hours worth of WoW while on the free trial thing, so I can't give a good comparison between the two. However, SW: ToW has been so much more appealing. Compared to other MMO's I've played I would say it's very user and newb friendly.

My only complaint is how The Republic/Jedi have quests with longer walking distance ini the beginning than The Empire/Sith.

and hope the server queues bugger down -.-

Ugh, wish they actually extended grace period to 22, closing it 1 am was surprisingly poor PR move for them. It's still a great Bioware game but its definitely sold by EA -.-.

Seems even worse now. Site is loading each page incredibly slowly and I still don't see an option to click 'paypal' or 'card'.

I've been in a waiting room for 2 1/2 hours. Luckily, I have other things to do at work but nothing as fun as reading the SWTOR forum posts.

~_~ I probably didn't read the subscription thing correctly. I pre-ordered on the 19th and I was able to play until last night. Now when I try to login this morning it tells me I need an active subscription. Waiting queue on the site login so I can get an 'active' subscription!? Crazy =/

I managed to get everything completed, logged in now. As a bonus there are no queues right now because everyone is stuck with this stupid subscription nonsense. :D

There haven't really been any huge problems, people are just being dramaqueens. (Mostly, obviously some individuals are just unlucky and have actual problems, but no more than anywhere else.)
Some servers got huge queues and today the account management website was down/unstable/incredibly slow for like 3 hours but other than that no issues so only having these small issues at launch makes it a great launch compared to any other MMO.
(If I wasn't being clear, I'd order it. :p)

The game itself is lots of fun. The warzones (pvp games) are cool concepts, lots of fun to play with a few friends and winning gives competitive xp gains. Leveling is entertaining, although after about 10 levels of storyline I'm just spamming spacebar to skip through everything. If you like singleplayer story-line based games, there was a lot of work put in. The questing is pretty well put together... you have a main class story quest chain to follow and the other quests are almost all optional. If you liked x-wing/tie-fighter back in the day, you can do space missions for xp. Leveling will probably seem a little slower than WoW is now, but there's a ton of stuff to do, so I haven't been in a hurry to hit cap.

Yeah that's why i redeemed my registration code on the 16th when Origin emailed me it. I knew there was going to be a rush of players registering today.

I've been in this forums 'line' for 3 1/2 hours in the background just to read the forums. I think something is just not working right or their forum servers are still down. If you check the Game-Info drop-down, it shows Preorder instead of Order like it did yesterday so I'm guessing they are running old Beta-forum servers just to give you something to look at while they fix their actual servers.

E: ^ What they said. You can check the order history and pull it from there if you didn't get the email for some reason.
I believe that original code everyone entered was just for early access. You should have received a new code (for digital orders) or enter the code on the physical game discs for the game itself. Did you order from Origin by any chance?


Ahh thank you, yes I did by from Origin you thinking buying direct would be the most simple method....
