indeed, complaining when so many players want to play the game. If you lack the connection for it you should have not signed up. |
Oh wow that's rich 
1 and 2 are still amazing. |

I've been in the beta for a good six months now and honestly it's really starting to shape up. Might have to jump on the bandwagon and play it.

Is there a way to download the client beforehand? In case you do get in the beta.

Well, EA being a sinking ship and all, apparently the anchor that's Bioware is really doing its part..
www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2011/04/29/star-wars-the-old-republic-preview/1
>it’s one of the most boring titles we’ve ever had to endure. It’s plain and staid and deathly dull. It’s both exactly the same as every other MMO we've played, but at the same time so much worse
>Throughout 48 hours-worth of play we didn’t see a single interesting or believably animated character; merely sock puppets with semi-decent voice acting.
>The plotlines that we saw wouldn’t have been gripping even if they had been populated with Oscar-winning actors
>Even fierce combat feels painfully static and uninvolving
>We found ourselves wading through an almost obscene amount of combat too, usually against the type of wild beasties and bandits that typify every RPG, ever – but in greater quantity and in an area which felt far smaller. In some cases we’d clear out an area, walk into the next room, turn back and face the exact same enemies we’d killed only moments before. Once or twice we even saw foes respawning over their own corpses as conversations distracted us – very, very anti-fun.
>What’s most disappointing of all is how empty and lacking in personality the worlds of The Old Republic felt
>I was surprised that Bit-tech didn't enjoy their time with SWTOR, every other site has been very positive with regards to the look and feel of the game.
>I was surprised to see those positive previews too, as many of the other journalists I spoke to told me at the event that they were unimpressed with it.
http://tap-repeatedly.com/2011/10/05/impressions-star-wars-the-old-republic/
>Undoubtedly the similarities between SWTOR and World of Warcraft are glaring. For anyone to tell you otherwise has no eyes. Down to the smallest of details Bioware have shamelessly replicated all that World of Warcraft has to offer
>The user interface is the most prominent similarity and is identical to World of Warcrafts in almost every way but is a distractingly grotesque colour, in an awful neon blue. That isn’t to say it isn’t functional, because it is, but having played Guild Wars 2 for an hour before, I realised how uninspiring and clumsy it was.
>the game plays exactly the same as World of Warcraft or Rift or any number of replicas that have launched in the last five years.
>combat is incredibly slow and does not in any way encapsulate what Star Wars is all about.
>What was even more frustrating was how Bioware have failed to learn and address fundamental lessons from World of Warcraft.
>There are other concerns; the lack of pace in combat due to it being dictated by global cooldowns, the complete lack of necessity to be mobile whilst taking part in combat as well as the lack of movement from enemies or the ability to dodge incoming projectiles and attacks.
>quests are boring. Entirely boring. I don’t know about the rest of the MMOG community, but I am sick of kill and collect quests and unfortunately, SWTOR is full of them.
>To kill an enemy and watch my health recharge agonisingly slowly or to remain entirely stationary whilst my heal animation plays out was incredibly frustrating and entirely unnecessary.
>For people seeking innovation, originality, fluid combat and a game structure that removes questing and the level grind, you really need head to the door marked ‘Guild Wars 2‘.
http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/10/01/mmo-impressions-from-eurogamer-expo-2011-part-2/
>Of all the games I was excited to try out at Eurogamer Expo, Star Wars: The Old Republic was definitely the most disappointing.
>I found myself struggling to unearth both new information on the game and the motivation to lodge a pre-order.
>Considering that the game is due for launch in just three months, I found the fact that character creation isn't ready to show to the public was more than a little worrying.
>The fully voiced storyline at the start was a nice touch that brought some initial immersion, but I felt as though my responses to the chat didn't really make a difference.
>The occasional voiced chat with quest NPCs was great, but the feeling of being immersed in a story within the Star Wars universe always seemed to fade once the conversation ended and I went off to kill 10 space-rats.
>I found myself invariably falling back into the same old MMO pattern of checking quest objectives and killing lists of monsters
>the game felt like a Star Wars-themed World of Warcraft
>The biggest gripe I had with the game was with swordplay and force powers, which have been shoehorned into a classic MMO spell system.
>I can understand developers wanting to keep controls familiar to ease the transitions of those willing to switch games, but even as a long-time MMO junkie and WoW player, I still found the controls clumsy.
>Guild Wars 2, for example, has a large array of aimed abilities and real twitch-based evasion mechanics. The fact that Star Wars: The Old Republic didn't do something similar for lightsaber combat and force powers is almost baffling.
>Given how much money is being thrown at Star Wars: The Old Republic, I was genuinely surprised that BioWare had stuck with the WoW gameplay model down to the last detail, even when it didn't work very well or suit the setting.

The sad truth is that it's still going to sell incredibly well no matter how shit it is just because it's Star Wars.

obviously, they din not invented. they improved, and setup some standards.
if a new mmorpg fail to at least reach that standards is on a bad start.
yeh, they will sell well.
after 1 free month half will not renew their subscription.
after 6 more months number of servers will got halfed.
i want to see one mmorpg wich dint get trough this process. and no, placing trust on sw fanboys will not be enough.

mmo's success arent rated by the sale of copies, but the number of sustained subscription. Like frogster said, a lot will buy it, play free month and then drop it.

I'm afraid once you have played your first MMO, all others that come after it just don't sustain interest. My first one was Everquest and since then I have played nearly every major MMO hoping to recapture that magical feeling but it never comes.
Atm I am playing Rift, but only because the sub is dirt cheap and they add new content every month. I will get SWTOR but I don't expect I will play it past a month, GW2 does not look great to me but I will get it too because I don't need a sub.
Maybe it is because I am older now and my priorities have changed but I don't have the motivation to play non stop, these days I rarely seem to complete single player games either, I just get bored after a while.

I got invited to the weekend beta, I played for a few hours. It's boring as hell, the articles a few posts above nail it on the head. Bring on GW2...

I gotta' stop falling for this.
I did that with Age of Conan, Rift, Aion, that pirate ship one I can't remember the name of, and I'm sure others. |

Isnt this still in beta? lot of complaints in that preview about spawning of creeps etc is ridicilous..obviosly that is low prio on debugging list. Tons of bugs like that in any beta mmo game
8 out of 10 dentists prefer zipfero to competing brands(fraich3 and Mutantius)!
