SWTOR lifts NDA and reveals Legacy system, new flashpoint, art book

No anti-fanboi cry-babying please. It got old about 4+ months ago. You should punch such urges in the nuts swiftly and without mercy. N.D.A. is gone so if you DO like the game, then gush about your EXPERIENCES with the game. If you DON'T like it then gush about your woes. Shit-can the rest.

@EuchridEucrow whatever helps you sleep at night fanboi. I m just stating things I read, if stating a fact means and anti swtor then i m just fine. Again, you just proved my point a fanboi eye are blind to any truths they don't wanna accept.

@silver001

You obviously didn't punch your urge in the nuts hard enough. Try again...with brass knuckles this time.

@JamesKilton

I'd say that this seem like a fair assessment in my view. I think it is probably the best frame of mind to be in when you are going into this game. Cautious optimism. At any rate, I am pretty certain I will get my money's worth and then some from it.

@JamesKilton

If you had posted this before the most recent 20gb update, I'd have agreed with you. Virtually all of the bugs I've seen in the past two builds were fixed, plus a lot of updated graphics, play animations and plain old bug fixes.

I don't see where people find polish in the other MMO's out there and say SWTOR is lacking. From Rift to AoC to WoW to SWG, this is by far the most polished game I've ever played in Beta.

No it will not be for everyone, but no game out there is for everyone. Will the game die at max level? Maybe, depending on a full server of players and how things work out. I will say that leveling up, I've never had more fun in any other MMO. Out of the 4 classes (over multiple builds) that I've maxed out, even when you play through the same world a second time, it has a totally different feel.

The Jedi Knight is trying to save the galaxy from the Sith vs the smuggler who is out for profit, hunting down a lost treasure. Same planets, totally different feels. The Bounty Hunter trying to win the Great Hunt vs the Sith Inquisitor rising up the ranks of the Sith hierarchy and trying to help take over the galaxy.

If you don't like having to listen to/read the story, this game is likely not for you. If you actually enjoy a good story in your game, you'll probably enjoy this.

I would just like to add that while this sounds SPOOKILY similar to the comment I wrote a few hours ago, this one wasn't written by me.

@cotheer
Were you expecting this mmo to diverge fron other MMOs? If you're looking for MMOs that break the mold, theres FF14 and DCUO out there...

@cotheer
I will say this much, the beta community seemed friendly, but I expect it will go south at launch. Why? Because its on the internet... And the internet corrupts everything it touches :)

@cotheer For the people that complain that SWTOR doesn't diverge much from other mmos. Why would they? Bioware looked at what worked and didn't, put it in their game and added voice acting and storylines.

For the longest time Bioware has been saying it's an mmo with a "4th dimension" of story. So that's what we are getting. If you want better graphics go play Age of Conan. If you want better pvp Dark Age of Camelot is still up and running. If you want better customization, City of Heroes been F2P for a while.

This game is aimed squarely at Bioware fans who loved KOTOR back in 2003.

Like i said, i haven't tried the game yet, so i can't judge.
My comments was more about the swtor community than the game itself.

Good God, give us ability to edit posts >_

@cotheer

You do have the ability to edit posts. It is called "proof-reading" before you hit reply. At least that is what I do.

@Kalex716

There are PLENTY of carrots if that's what you're looking for.

@jimr9999us

Right, but does story matter?

If i push the story one way based on my (A,B,C) choices are the rewards differing in the end?

@Kalex716 Aside from Dark/Light point totals dictating what armor you can get. No. It's the same kind of choice impact as in Dragon Age 2. (i.e. none)
