not worth it in the end

this game is fun. Its cool to go around shooting the bane defending and attacking control points all that. The thing is once you hit max lvl its just the same thing. I guess you can do some pvp if you like. The pvp is just matches against each other which serves no purpose. WIth a war going on with the bane why are you fighting other afs forces? it doesnt make sense. It would of been more fun to other players as the bane. fighting over control posts would be awesome. another thing wrong with this game is the lack of interaction between players. for a week or two i only saw mabye 1 or 2 squads. Everyone pretty much soloes in this game which defeats the purpose of being an mmo. i tried to get people together to defend or attack cp and only a few people showed up. only 2 actually tried to join a squad with me. squads give you bonus xp yet noone does it now why is this? the only interaction i see with other people is on general chat arguin about something. To me this game isnt worth paying for or even playing once you hit max lvl.

People do not squad up for a few reasons. Even with the bonus I can generally level faster solo. There are no epic battles that require more people and any tactics. You never really feel the Bane are a threat or feel the need to have back up except in a couple of instances. For the most part TR plays like a solo game with chat functions.
I think TR needs a large dose of epic battles.
At the planettr forums the epic battles you mention is coming and it is called The Guantlet v1. They have screenshots posted. The players that beat it said it was a lot of fun and required pretty good teamwork.
As for never really feeling the bane are a threat in instances... if you go in solo it is going to scale down. Go in there we a few people if you want a bit more challenge as it will scale up to the number of people.
I wish the instances had a toggle like DDO where you can pick how hard you want the dungeon/instance.

TR devs have said that is Play Test Server only and never coming to live. Instances are not the part of the game that needs scaling. It is the rest of the game that needs to feel epic and it does not. Instances do scale, but with a full group they are no harder than solo since you have a full group. I am quite aware of how the game works I played since last year.
Ya the end game stuff for TR isnt that great. I usually dont get to max lvl in online games cause most of the ones I play people say it gets really boring and theres nothing else to do. Getting back to some of the things ASmith84 said about pvp, ya it could use abit more thought. Also people dont really team much cause theres not really any bonuses for doing it. For CP capturing I found out it all depends on which one your trying to take. Other than that I think TR is pretty good, cant wait till they come out with the personal ACUs, then there will be alot of people playing.

Since the PAUs were put on the back burner do not expect to see them until next year. Also do not expect them get many people to play because of them. They were supposedly in the works nearly a year ago, it is a little too late to use PAUs as bait to draw back people who left. A lot of content needs to be added before people will come back in any significant numbers.

Ya man I totally agree with you, but you gotta admit the PAUs will bring in some people .Theres alot of stuff to add to TRs content before the PAUs should come out too.

PAUs will bring in a few people, it is not like PAUs are the most anticipated thing in MMOs. They were supposedly being worked on a year ago. TR needs a ton more stuff before PAUs alone save the day. The PAUs will be anice addition but it is not like the game is so hard they are needed, they will only be good if content difficult to need them is also added. Otherwise you get overkill and boredom quickly sets back in. Right now real content is being added very slowly, yes their is a patch a month but most of it is not new stuf it is rehashing and redoing stuff they always had.
TR is fun is amll doses as a secondary or casual MMO. It fails to live up to its $15 a month charge and is not worth paying for IMO every month.
I don't even expect to see the game running next year at all
There are talks of tr closing its servers for good, in a way I hope its just media beatup but I doubt it.
According to the report today there are no plans now to close TR. Take from that what you want.

Oh I've not seen today's report as yet but I have seen this denial before a games closes in the past a few times.
