SWTOR

[Pegasus Belgar]

Made 50 last Saturday, played it properly and watched all scenes and dialogue choices, even had a day off from the levelling.
I am really liking the crafting system, and i like the fact you can still crit blues and epics even if they are still grey to make unlike other MMOs.
I really enjoyed the storyline of the imperial agent and found there is at least 5 different endings you could of choosed from, some affect how you did further back in Act 1 and 2.

But TOR is not EQ or Dark Age of Camelot, SWG or even Age of Conan. The game still feels very Linear, and I find some zones very restrictive and make the game feel very small especially when you level in Nar Shaddaa or Coruscant. I think Hoth is the best zone so far, though not enough quest hubs and not alot going on there but I just like the feel of the huge zone.

Its an RPGMMO if there is ever such a thing, I also felt as you level up on different planets you start to feel that the game might of been rushed as the later levelled planets were seriously lacking in content take Voss for an example. And when you compare the earlier planets like Balmorra, Hutta, Tyton are filled with things to admire.

onto my 4th character none of which are over 28.

I think ive finally settled on both the BH and the Sorceror as my favourite Imp classes so hopefully ill push on with both of these to the end game. I have to admit though it does feel linear and only the class story (being different) keep it alive for me when you run the same planet the 4th time.

Crafting is superb. i enjoy space (although its also very linear) more than i did in beta for some reason and the companion system is well done. I still maintain this could have been an epic single player RPG

while there much i like about this game one thing really pissing me off, so much so that if it doesn't improve it be my no 1 reason for cancelling,

running

why in hells name do they think running is fun, am on voss at the moment, i had 1 minutes 27 seconds run from the moment i entered the inst, to i fought my first mob, that isnt any chat time just pure running, what worsted is i died at the final fight and guess what, no rest option so i had to go back to the med center, and had a 3 minute run just to get back, i am sorry but there no way in hell anyone can think that fun and you not allowed too use your speeder because that might make it fun,

the taxi routes are not much better, rather than take the direct route, they go the longest way,


so the countdown has all rdy started for me till i cancel, so major improvements in travel time or they wont be getting my money

Sounds very much like the last star wars mmg, which i remember had running and not that much to do... hrmm might hold of was just bored and fancied something new.

best notes ever:

wow. after ignoring it for half a decade i can be happy in the knowledge that C-A-D is still a steaming pile of wank.
Cheers Chimp

tried to order this over the weekend, the catpcha on the Origin page was invisible, on top of that had to open a new EA account, starting to think it might be a bad idea, if their webpages are this shite before i even get to play!
