Now everyone knows I'm a big Star Wars fan. Most people know my loathing for Lucas and his bullshit excuse for the prequels. Most people know I like MMO's. Some people know the reason why I am banned from a few certain Cinema's. What most people don't know is the sole main reason of me not writing blogs recently, IS DUE TO THIS FUCKING GAME.
Its a love hate relationship. It's similar to what I had with WoW. (Although because everyone is still learning and can't find an online encylcopedia of everything within the game, some of the post vanilla WoW players just hate on it, but I'm sure once they see a real life vag that isn't related directly to them, mums or sisters and even cousins, opinions will change, but the regular players are really helpful and make it a joy to be involved with)
So lets look at some of the arguments,
No Group Finder , aww diddums, does this make finding a group of like minded players harder, yes, does it make it worthwhile when you find them, too feckin right. It means that end game and progression takes some effort. I mean if Sex was like this it would be called prostitution, although it would be free, so not technically prostitution, but you get my meaning.
The games buggy, yes it is, BUT most peoples complaints revolve around the simple fact that they have come from WoW on a PC thats constructed of a combination of peanuts and week old mango chutney and wondered why they can't play it. The frank reason is. That "Tiny" branded PC with 12 year old components is not going to cut it. It requires some grunt. (Although they do need to sort out the shadow issues)
No end game content, I disagree, the end game is just as compelling and with greater special ops and hard modes it keeps you coming back, even re-rolling characters adds so much with the individual story line.
Look the games not perfect, but Vanilla WoW players will remember the grind between lvl 39 and 40 ... fecks sake ... I'd rather castrate myself then do that again. Now its achievable in a few hours.
Point is that SWTOR is not perfect. But BioWare are doing a good job with content and listening to the players. The guild summit showed that. Patch 1.2 is a massive step in the right direction. By my estimation they are roughly 4 years ahead of WoW when it was within the first six months of release.
Its amazing the shit talking from people, you only have to read the facebook page comments. It's like a flame war between retards and retards. My MMO's better then yours. This is why I shifted from alliance to Horde, too many kids with little understanding of game mechanics. The main fact is, I'm enjoying it, and nothing in the past 2 and a half years has made me want to go back to WoW. The main reason, is that people on that game tend to number in the millions for hard core wankstains. The point of the game in WoW has been lost, and thats the fun. How long SWTOR has got before the players get like that god knows. For the meantime its all good. So get on it.
