Level 50 Inquisitor, i played the whole story until Thanatons end . Nice Story for Sith inquisitor btw. That was the best of the game.
Soloed 99% of the time. because everyone else soloed too.
had no more than 8 people on my friend list ever. and 7 out of these 8 where never seen again after level 30
2 days left on my account and no will to play anymore. Theres simply nothing to do after level 50.
Planet Illum why do it ? once your 50 you gain nothing out of the quests but a few credits....
The Legacy system is weak , the bonus skills are all useless and not worth the time invested. Compare this Legacy crap to EQ2´s AA system or other games character enhancements. Even if they open the last Legacy Tab with 1.3, theres nothing interesting. Pure math and thats it.... some % here and some % there..... boring
PvP is pointless. Why do it ? the same Huttball game over and over ? No Planet invasions or galaxy PvP.... just stupid Maps..
re-rolling a new char is no option either, it takes to much work and time to level another char to 50 just to have the same problem again once hes 50.
my Main character currently has 13500 HP , after 2 weeks raiding maybe 15500 HP and a bit more Willpower, why pay and play for that ? The resists of my character wont ever reach more than maybe 19% and 5 level lower Silver mobs can kill me in a few hits on Corellia without my companion out. On ILLUM its even worse....
If this game had some ways to really make my character strong and interesting i would eventually stay. But without companion my Inquisitor is laughable even against 10 level lower Elite if unlucky.
My awesome "DARTH Laughwell" Character is a joke without companion...... and thats the reason i am to tired to continue because 5% or 10% or even 15% better stats wont make my character much better...
I get requests all time to play the HealBot in groups !! Wow !
So all in all theres nothing left for me to do and level 50 seems to be the end of my 34.99$ Swtor time........
Or will Patch 1.3 be the ultimate patch for level 50´s ? Level increase to Level 70 maybe ? a good AA skill system ? More resists for all classes but these few % ? A good PvP design ? or just more Nerfs like the ones on my Inquisitor some weeks ago ?
i doubt 1.3 will change much... This game shouldnt be released yet. They should have been waiting 1 more year......
maybe after BioWares developers woke up after 1.3 , Patch 1.4 will be the cure for this game.......
The Developer that suggested to give SPRINT to everyone at Level 1 should lead the complete Swtor team. That was the one and only good change so far.
They could even further increase the Sprint speed because its still to slow for all the running between and inside quests.... The speeders are to slow as well make them 130%, 160% and 190%... why ? because the planets are so freaking huge that 90 or 110% is simply to boring.....

p.s i dont have much cash maybe 500k ,so, no you cant have my stuff !

Well, you could always run daily quests. I hear the kids just love those!
Yup, they won't put in a cross server LFG tool because they very mistakenly think it has an adverse effect on "the community", so everyone just ignores Flashpoints and most Heroics and solos the game, and hardly anyone meets anyone else throughout the entire game. Way to "build community" Bioware!
RPers have consistently twisted what RPG means. In doing that, and consistently being the most vocal minority on pretty much every gaming related site, they are slowly killing the genre.
why ? whats wrong about what i wrote ? these are all facts and no lies. Why offend me for saying the truth ? Swtor was released 1 year to early. Theres nothing but the Story to play for everyone which was great for me until i hit 50 and became Darth Laughable.
Have you seen how many bored level 50 players are standing around in the imperial fleet ? Once 50 you can bash yourself to do pvp or kick your butt to get some groups to get some little better equipment that gives you 5% better stats than the stuff you had before.....
Thats how it is....... and it wont change anytime soon. Not with 1.3 , not 1.4 and not 1.5 maye with 2.0 but thats far ahead in time....
what for ? Legacy XP ?
come on ........ Theres nothing in the whole legacy Skill window that is worth the time. At least for my Inquisitor. and even if i have all the skills, what then ? PvP ?
Or he can wait outside the pub base on belmora. A Pub usually rides through ever 15 or 20 mins.
I find swtor a single player game with a 30 day time frame.
If you dont make it to finish the story in 30 days you have to pay in order to continue.That generates anxiety and does not give you the option to play it when ever you deel you wanna play.In fact you have to play and finish the story in order not to pay 15$.
Gw2 all the way.I was always against pay to play model because i dont like a game to keep me on hold because i have paid for it.
When you dont pay for a game per month you have the freedom to play whenever you want without feeling guilty that you paid and you had 1 week to play the game.
I play very casual because i got a life too.I may play 8 hours in one day and then play again the next week or after 2 weeks.
Gw2 is the pay model for me and for many many others.
huh? I said WELCOME TO THE CLUB and warned you to be ready [mod edit]

I remember when I would take me like 3 months to get to end level in an MMO. You know the times before guides on the internet and everyone sharing secrets. In EQs day people didn't share how to do content, it was kept secret but now everyone and their mum is doing end game content. This is why boredom sets in because everyone can do everything instead of having goals.
Yeah, I saw this and said "this has to be a troll thread."
The game does suck, but being able to experience all end game content by the end of 6 weeks really is pretty fail. Now I loved POTBS, and you could level to 50 in 36 hours if you were really dedicated. But then again, the "end-game" was player driven, so that's different than TOR, where the "end-game" is entirely one instance after another, just every now and then one particular instance has players that might fight back.
OP, glad you enjoyed it. SWTOR is not for everybody. At its core, SWTOR is for Star Wars fans who have moderate to severe alt-itis.

I don't think they could even do it if they would like it.
I tend to think that they don't even have the technology to realise that, if they could they would have ship it with the box already.
COmen what a lame excuse, they think that it's not good for the community.
As a matter of fact they want the money, they need it bad, if they had the technology to implement a LFG tool they would have done it already .<-period
Diablow 3, it sucks ...
how do you figure that? game feels nothing like star wars. SWG felt more like star wars than this. Hitting something over and over and over with my lightsaber doesn't feel much like I'm playing with a lightsaber at all might as well have a sword.. game overall just does not have the star wars atmosphere or feel which to me is why it fails... others will disagree though...
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
More likesomeone having delusions of living in SW universe and near infinite patience/toleration of boredom.
How many times can you REALLY do 90% of the same content over and over? Three? Four? For many people, it is about 1.5. They play one toon to 50 and start playing one of the other faction and give up in the middle.
If regrinding alts was the plan for getting people to play TOR over the middle and longer term, it was a lousy idea.
And thus, the population continues to decline, because most players are not willing to do that for something so boring, because at the end, there isn't a damn thing to do, except more meaningless grind.
I do things differently. All I do are class quests and PVP, basically. But yeah, population decline might happen soon if they don't undo some of their backward steps of 1.2, but I digress. The "continues to decline" part of your statement assumes a decline has begun, and yet, no number declines were actually posted anywhere. On matters of fact, please stick to known truths.

If you want to know what the weather is right now, look out an effin window.
If you want to know how many people are playing TOR, look at the effin server loads.
The server loads are much, much lower than in the month after launch, like about 2/3 fewer full/heavy servers.
I am not saying that automatically means 2/3 of the subs are gone, but it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see, that many fewer people are logging in to play TOR. (And logic dictates a good many of those people no longer playing are no longer subbed, why pay for something you are not using?)
Anyone denying that particular fact, is deluded or trolling... (or is working for EA trying to con the investors)
seriously most everyone I talked to that say population is doing fine is generally on one of about 6 servers and anyone who mentions population on any other generally will say planets are ghost towns. Luckily for bioware game was setup to be played single player for the most part while leveling so guess it doesn't matter much unless you are the type who actually likes seeing lots of people around while leveling in their MMO...

No... it's like you're using minute-to-minute weather to predict long term climate. It might mean something, and it might not. Try being objective about things.
I have yet to notice any kind of decline on Lord Adraas, and perhaps a slight increase. Does that mean the game population is growing? One person, one point in time, one perspective. Too many variables... Not relevant in the big picture.

There you go, actual facts, server status trends going back months to release for NA, similar trends can also be seen on the EU page too. There are only a handful of populated servers at all where newbies roll and veterans reroll. You can check every single server using that link and look at the trends going back to release. It's like looking at the earth to predict weather patterns rather than looking to see if it's raining in a small town in Arkensas to refute your weather related analogy.well i started a new character to give this game another chance. had some fun with my new Trooper but sadly the game is crashing to much now.
If they fix the crashes i maybe return to play this Trooper...
bumped for ironic lulz after EA confirms it's been more than a steady decline
Welcome to the cycle of MMOs. New MMO comes out and everyone is like "Oh yeah this is going to be the best thing ever, blah blah blah, next WoW killer, blah blah, etc." The game comes out and people reach the level cap and find they have nothing to do because no new content has been released yet since the game is fairly new.
People then ragequit and find the next game in development and repeat the whole process. So I guess its time to hop on the GW2 bandwagon eh?
Played: EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, WAR, WoW, LoTRO, CoX, CO, GW2, FFXIV: ARR, AoC, Rift, TSW, SWTOR, TERA, BnS, ESO
Crazy question: Do you think it would have been better if it took 3 months minimum(or more) to get to 50? Or was the leveling speed good for you?
Problem for TOR is, the things to do in the game BESIDES leveling up were not much fun, especially those liking PvP, which TOR has done poorly up to the present.
No matter were leveling fast, slow, or just right: if there is nothing else enjoyable in the game to do, people would have quit when they hit max level, regardless.
Which is what many have done...
The biggest question facing TOR is: what is there to do after you reach 50?
The answer appears to be: not much.
But But GW2 will be different!
Well actually it is, though it will still suffer the same effects. From what I have seen is that GW2 has enough content to keep people playing (Not me though, love the game right now and migth even enjoy WvWvW for a few months, but I have a short attention span when it comes to games :P) for a while. Also it does not have a monthly fee or (right now) a cash shop you need to compete. So it might attract a more casual crowd.
SWOTOR on the other hand does not have enough content to keep people playing. The story was good, but not enough to keep me playing, but then again I believe the same for WoW (without the good story) and it's still strong so what do I know :P

It seems to be the population in the peak-hours is getting smaller with makes sense, but seems that the game always have a steady amount of players
