Some people just like to come here and speak their minds on the subject they like,in this case MMO's..
whether it be positive or negative,this is what message boards are for.
wrong forums bro, most of those negative commenters have repeated the same crap for weeks now. Rules state that's trolling.
Everything I say is my opinion or personal preference. You may or may not find it useful to your cause but regardless I am entitled to it.
I agree with the OP.
This isn't the game I was looking for.
I want to go home and rethink my MMORPG-life.
Is the game 'okay'? Yes.
Is it disappointing? Absolutely.
Hehe
There is a difference between repeating your own negative comment or just posting it once and happen to have the same negative comment as someone else.
It is not trolling if you just share your negative opinion and it turns out to be similar to other peoples opinion.
It's good you got that out.
Now the healing can begin.
it goes both ways,some people who support the game also attack anyone who gives an inkling of negativity about it.
If those are the rules,then its up to the mods to deal with it.If they dont then maybe they dont see it as trolling.
so naa,I dont think these are the wrong forums.
I know it IS hard to believe possibly more than a single person dislikes the game for the same reasons..

I think that its turned into "I hate it" "I love it" battle on these forums, noone seems to be able to give concessions, and its become less about why the game is good/bad, just that people have issues acknowledging that there are others that disagree, though sometimes they do it disrespectfully or in a inflamitory manner. What I've seen on this thread is about a total of 1 1/2 page of actual discussion about the game and the rest whether someone is justified in their opinion, whether something is trolling, fanboism, or hating, or whether this topic has been beaten to death (Plus that random Ghandi thing, that totally came out of nohwhere, did some derailing, and confused the shit out of me). And I agree with whoever said this, "if the Mods think its bad they'll delete it, and if you think its gone too far, report it. No need to "devolve" the conversation away from the issue."
And so I don't add to the issue of not contributing to the topic.
I've not played it so Its not my opinion, just my friends' observation:
- Expertise on the gear ruins PvP for non lvl 50's
-and like OP said, the architecture seems out of whack.
-There are some wierd spawning bugs I've heard about.
-And Imperial Agents, despite being Mirrors, apprently are OP to a degree in PvP
-Character creation is boring as nothing else due to the lack of aliens, just having very human humanoids.
The majority of them love it otherwise, those are what they've said could have been better.
It cracks me up when people say shit like "fans of Star Wars and of Bioware will like this game, but..." and yet still cannot understand why it is so popular just because they didnt like it themselves. Do they realize that Star Wars is one of the most popular film franchises of all time and has millions upon millions of fans worldwide? Very much the same can be said about Bioware and the wild success of the Mass Effect franchise. To say: "fans of star wars and of bioware will enjoy the game" and then act surprised that many people actually do enjoy the game is the operative definition of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?
And before people start calling Creslin a fanboy, read his post history, pretty sure he's been very critical of the game. He and I have had some arguments lately.
Lol nice post.

Funny as hell and very well done!
A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true...
Thank you thank you, and yes definitely not a fanboy here
.
I actually enjoy all the arguments I have with you and others and generally respect most of the people (you included) I argue with
.
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?
I have no issue with people disliking the game or even hate it everyone hass a right to there own opion,Plenty of games I hate I think Eve and Gw1 are both garbage always have the difference is I do not go post on there forums nor do I continue to post how much I dislike them in there forums. I think its fine for ppl to give there review of the game and if they hate.don't like it cool post it and move on no one wants to hear the same junk over and over we get it if you don't like it go play something you do and stop wasting your time.
I cannot understand why some people will continue to post on a games forums that they do not like I mean wouldn't your time be better served playing and discussing a game you actually do like?
Hater
Personally I think the game depends more on which character you roll and if you like their storyline. I'm loving my Bounty Hunter right now, but couldn't stand the Sith Warrior. Though I do have to say this line is awesome. Much respect to you.
I know some of you would defend a George Lucas turd on the sidewalk from flies till it turned white
I've never seen a revolutionary game. Each game tries to something different, but most is the same. And there was plenty of info and free beta time to find out all about it, except for some pvp info that didnt seem to get tested much. I don't understand all the talk of revolutionizing gaming and other BS. They said they were going to make a game that was like the popular current style and add story, VO, cut-scenes, etc. Well, that's what they did. It wasn't something I was looking for, so I didn't buy it. I did my research and relized i wouldn't like it. I wish I could come to the forums and find out some info on other games, but every thread seems to be the TOR fan vs hater/or disliker, i should say. The games out, doing well, can't we just move on?
Lets hope that ME3 doesn't fall to the EA model like DA2 did ( and swtor likely ). But sadly I am betting it will.
I enjoyed BH story the most in beta. Jedi consular was so boring ughh.. Agent was pretty fun also ( only got to 10 though )
So you had expectations, that seem like they were built upon decades of hype.
Nothing could live up to that, nothing.
I'm sorry to hear you were disapointed but really with hopes as high as yours must have been from the build up you present, can you really blame anyone but yourself if you were let down?
Can you dispute what he said about the money and the marketing?
I feel much like Redcor, yet a slightly different way. I used to be a BioWare fan from the BG series up to KOTOR, Jade Empire and Mass Effect. Then they released DA - after years of development, and tons of advertising. originally claiming that this is going to be a crpg revolution. The BioWare had the potential and I believed them. And they produced your average crpg with blood on toons added.
And it feels the same way with SWTOR. It's like that there is some designer with ideas then a sales manager comes in and says "No, we are going to do what already sells. This is too risky."
I believe that the designer is the old BioWare guy who is still good and the sales manager is EA employee.
It's just not about joy of gaming anymore, it's about money all the way round. Look at Mass Effect and ME2.
If you look at the timeline, it breaks back in 2007 - ME released, BW goes under EA and then it's over.
But, can you really sell people the same stuff over and over again? As much as I love the KOTOR pedigree of SWTOR, I do hate the WOWish genes it got (since WOW went FUBAR already).
I find this common attitude about DA2 baffling. DA2 was way better than that stupid story of ME2. LOLGIANTTERMINATOR. It was a disgrace to the genius that was ME1. Now DA2 wasn't great, but I don't get why people diss that and not ME2. Of course ME3 won't be as good. Bioware has simply gone downhill, and it has little to do with EA. This sort of thing just happens to studios sometimes.
People will like it and others won't. The company will have either a solid hit, an utter fail, or another MMO just hanging around on the market until they decide to pull the servers or just let it run until they've milked whatever they could out of it. I watched it, enjoyed the trailer which seemed a lot better to watch in HD on utube as opposed to the low quality version in-game, played the BETAs, and had my short-lived enjoyment during it. Game just didn't hold up graphically for me. I'm not expecting a DX11 MMO because I know it would cost devs more money and would screw a lot of players who don't exactly have a mid to high end PC, but there are games that are decent enough imo to just plain crap but still retain good to amazing quality visual eye candy. It just doesn't seem to be much of a graphical upgrade from SWG. The PvP just felt a little laggy. The quests were decent but not enough to make me want to actually finish them or even recall why I was doing them. The whole light and dark side as you go through the quests while making choices was probably one of the most exciting features in the game for me. In any case the game isn't horrible. Obviously it has a sizable player base already and hopefull these guys will take some of that money and work on some improvements. I hope everyone enjoys and and I will check back in a few months to see if its made any progress enough to keep my interest.

I am neither a hater nor a fanboy. However, I really wanted to enjoy this game.
What ultimately stopped me from playing past the pre-order was the quests. They spent 7 years and told us that our choices would impact our character. Apparently, it only impacts the look of your gear.
For instance: During the Jedi Knight story line, if you choose the dark-side and let the dark jedi Bengel Morr leave, you "reprogram" your companion droid to say that you captured Bengel Morr. Despite trying to leave the main story line, you are guided back.
