I tend to be less cynical then.
I'm not so sure about that. Think it's pretty split far as that goes. I mean the vo and story themed content is one of the highlights of this game for many players.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
Yeah that was my experience as well. The BH was largely kill quests, due to the nature of the class, smuggler was a different story though.

Then there playing the wrong game.
Thats like playing a pvp game and not liking pvp, or playing a FPS when you hate first person games.

Exactly.. personally if I didn't like that type of thing, I wouldn't buy an MMO made by Bioware.

I don't think not liking story or cutscenes in a MMO is wrong or comparable to your hyperbole.
I'm a "light side" BH and I've had plenty of Quests that did not require me to kill the target or anything. Most of the kill quests are Bonus quests. Bonus meaning you don't have to do them. Sure there is much killing going on...but there is plenty of other stuff as well.
m8 had it streaming for ages from what i saw i dont think it will keep me playing if i bought it . but then i never was SW fan . grathic wise it looked amazeing
The main point behind this game is the story, if you don't enjoy story in an MMO it really is the wrong MMO for you, it is like playing a PVP MMO and disliking PVP, if you're playing a MMO designed around story and cutscenes, yet do not enjoy those aspects.

Questing is like THE LAST thing I care about when it comes to how good the game is. Questing is just a grind in any game to get you to the "end game". We'll have to see how bioware keeps us busy post lvl 50 that will determin if this game has any kind of lasting power.

This is exactly when I started to lose interest in beta.
I agree with comments on combat "kind of":
For me combat is fluid however, you have skills that just don't show a logical progression. There is something in other MMOs with Skills and such that within the first 10-15 levels you get the basic concept of a class and how it functions. This is usually achieved the way your skills roll out...
For whatever reason, when I played Sage to 30, the skills i got were just non-sensicle.. IT felt more scatter brained than a real progression ( note it felt like dragon age which was a similar experience )
See for me it's the opposite. If the questing isn't fun then I won't make it to end game because I refuse to pay a monthly sub for a boring grind.

Do you play WoW? IF so then I doubt your statement very much. Questing in WoW is about as boring, repetitive and unimaginative in any MMO I've ever played and thats many games going back to 1997.
If you do play WoW chances are you're lvl 85 on multi characters and are/were enjoying the endgame at one point. I think questing is not as important as many would make it seem.

If questing and levelling isn't meant to be fun, then whats the point of having it? If questing is a boring grind and endgame is all that matter and thats just the way it's gonna be, MMO's might as well forego levelling and start off with the ability to raid and do other typical endgame content from the start.
I think thats what Anet is trying to do, we shall see how the outcome is.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.
Carl Sagan-
At least in WoW there is variety. For instance you can take a level 1 Blood Elf, run to the main city and catch a ride to Trisfal and start leveling there, or if you like take the airship to Orgrimmar and start there, or the troll area or the Tauren starter area...you are not locked into one zone and one path. SW:ToR doesn't even give you that option.
Dark Age of Camelot was an mmorpg too - but we barely quested. You got with a few friends, found camps of monsters and leveled up, all the while dreaming of end game when you could go out and defend you realm against 2 other realms. You wanted to see your guild banners wave over enemy keeps, or manage to defend your own castles and the relics within.
Saying something is an mmorpg, does not dignify its quality. Saying mmorpgs are mostly crap repetition and low intellectual value is the norm these days.
People need to expect more because there is more. The developers, as in this particular title, don't want you to know this. They assume you all smoke pot and live at home.
Stop paying for this crap and they will be forced to go back to 2001 and make titles worth playing.
Even when WoW launched back in 2003 you could level an Orc in the Tauren starter zone or Trisfal or any of the starter zoens for the Horde. SW:ToR is a step backwards in this, like Rift and Aion were...you are forced to start and stay on that linear path. Vangaurd even allowed you to start in different areas. I ran my human over to the elven starter area and leveled her there. You can spin it all you wish, but the reality is SW:ToR is extremely linear and leaves no options open for the player.
No they won't...because to many of todays players are willing to fork over money for crappy games.
I agree. When WoW launched there was no where near the content there is now. Not sure why as a level 1 Empire player you would want to go to Dromund Kaas and get your sox rocked, plus miss out on the titles, content ect from the Korriban which is an important part of your over all arc.
I think the point was to really spread mass amounts of players out. One thing I hope we don't see is the same thing that happened in EQ2, everyone levels past an expansion zone and it becomes empty, cept for the few hardcore raiders who go back frequently to raid the instances in that zone.
I want everyone to post a thread about how disappointed they were in getting new boxers for Christmas and how boring they seem after you've worn them once or twice. Same for the left-overs from Christmas dinner. Also don't forget all the other things that you got. They are so boring after you've used them once or twice. Let's not stop at video games here. You have a whole world of crap that you can still complain about. In fact, games hardly make a ding on the dung heap by comparison. Let's go people... you have everything in the world to complain about and a forums aplenty all over the world to spew your distaste in. I for one will be playing a game while you write your dissertations explaining how your life has been utterly ruined by playing this game. While all the servers are still showing FULL, you can lament over how awful a game it is and laugh at all the millions of people playing a game that you dislike. Keep writing. I'm sure someone else has nothing better to do with their lives also who will chime in on how awful their life has been since having played the game. Life has been real cruel to you and you want the rest of the world to play mini violins to you.
Lets see if you are saying the same thing in a month when everyone gets through those story quest and gets stuck in the face with the harsh reality of what the game really is.
Certain stuff in this game that could have been great like the ship or space combat are the weakest features while the dailies, raid grinding and linear path is strong.
People are going to turn on this game. I refuse to touch it until the backlash happens because I have no intention of dealing with it again. WoW crowd is going to turn soon.
lol, well when you put it that way there are so many other things in this world more important than complaining about a game you don't like.
