Valid points? Maybe. Some.

The big picture is that TOR has some flaws early on. It's true. It's still a lit of fun though, and I'm still having fun despite the negatives.

Overall, most of the negative blog I read are people dumping on TOR because it's not the game they wanted. They don't really judge it on what they were trying to do. What they set out to do I think they did pretty well. As they fix bugs and add more stuff to do the game will really shine.

If we played games because of what they "Were trying to do" Everyone in the world would be playing FF14 right now.

My point is that I feel they did pretty well with what they intended to do. Is it perfection? No, there are bug and flaws that are being worked on.

My main point is people are pointing out things that are missing in the game when they weren't planning on them being in there in the first place.

 Only 2 raids and 16 dungeons? WoW has way more than that. WoW also has guild banks and arena pvp. TOR has neither.

This game sounds pretty weak. Glad I didn't waste my money it.

WoW has 6 or 7 years under its belt.  When WoW launched there were three raids with no guild banks.  Or dungeon finder. Or PVP queueing.  Or many of the countless other features you all seem to expect from every new MMO.

i got to laugh at the misinformed, if your going to bash swtor make sure you get it right.

Also you want to talk about exploit there has been only 4 incidents and it was fixed the next day.

One word: stalker

That's ill. Seek professional help.

Wrong.  I agree with your sentiment, but let's be accurate.  There was ONE raid, no PVP gear, no PVP ranks or battlegrounds.  People thought that battlegrounds were going to be vaporware.  When they finally launched, there was moaning about the dishonor system where you could earn negative PVP points.  Then you had to make a massive trek with no flying mount to the battleground entrance, of which there were three, and queue for an hour for that ONE battleground.  If you wanted actual PVP gear, you had to be in the top 10% of honor earners for your server that week, or you got absolutely nothing and all your points reset.  They comped users for about 5 days of time during which the game was unplayable.

People can say what they want about SWTOR, but it has been playable every day from Dec 13th until now, so right there it beats WOW.

I actually find it funny, and kind of sad, that Teala actually has nothing better to do than write blog after blog, hating on a game that they claimed months ago they would never write about again.

So why all the blogs about SW:TOR since then?

As I said, sad really.

Maybe but SWTOR is not competing with WoW 7 years ago, but with WoW now and my choice is not whatever to play WoW from 7 years ago or SWTOR, but WOW now.

Do not get me wrong I would still pick SWTOR, but it kinda irrelivent with what the compitition launched with. It's about what the compitition has now.

dont bash Teala.. she has a lot of good points on her blog entries about swtor flaws.

Most of the stuff written there honestly portrait SWTOR and if you think otherwise, you either blind or didnt play swtor.

Of course the game has many good points too.. but once you buy it and start playing it.. the flaws become obvious and slowly grow to a point you just get fed up with so much crap.

I have stopped taking her serious a long time ago. So no I don't read her blog but I'm not surprised if it's misinformed

Which part did she not get right?

She is the most enlightened poster in this entire site.

Because people change their minds... 

also:

So I am going to break my own rule I made on this game.  I said I was only ever going to write two entries on this game...well it seems that will not be the case.   The game is too important for "me" as a gamer.

It seems to happen A LOT more with some than others. Changing your mind is fine but there's a line, when it happens too frequently and with too many games, a pattern starts forming and being taken serious is going to be a problem. I'm glad she has followers such as yourself and Yamota though.. rock on!

Erm I'm not a follower.. I just read her blog after this topic was posted..

Also it seems to me that she comes out and admits she's been wrong... not many people do that.

There is still a valour exploit that exists today (or so I have been told by someone I trust), and no it is not the one that there has been all the uproar about recently. Just saying. Oh and some of those 'incidents' where absolutely not fixed the next day...if memory serves only the dupe bug was. They where fixed quickly but not next day...now if only they could deal with ability delay as promptly:)

You should link the blog too googling 'teals gaming blog' does not find it. Did she say guild banks are not coming or something? without reading her blog hard to comment. If she said "there are no guild banks"  well that would be correct as of now, not that that is such a big deal (to me).

Seems kinda obvious really after those beta impressions who would buy it?

Having now read her blog your comments make no sense to me...she did not really say anything about guild banks flaspoints or anything else you mention. I'm kinda confused what you are talking about so guess I'll bow out.

There are alot of people on this site putting out misinformed information about SWTOR. 99% of them never made it to end game. Don't buy in to their rubbish. The game has alot more positives than negatives and FFS it's only 1 month after release.

Actually, she was correct.

-The 1 raid and 16 flashpoints were buggy as hell. Mechanics wise, they're all subpar.

-Daily's? That stupid concept needs to go. C'mon now.

-PVP is a joke. Open world is kill trading. No option to select which WZ. Let's not even get into class balance.

 

Are you sure you've actually bought the game?

I agree,  I think here blog brought up some valid points.  I know its painful for sw fans but sometimes one must look in the mirror and face the truth.

Agree :)

Yeah you get her. You get her.

Who gives a shit what Rift had at launch. How do you know there were only 4 incidents of the exploiting? You go get her. Get that girl.

willie trombone!!

Thanks for drawing attention to that blog, I looked at it and learned a lot.  It was really interesting...  I wish the sites staff could take a page and do some real analysis on this game instead of marketing it so much.

Well, in all honesty, if I had to describe the released state of SW:TOR, I'd call it a GW1 clone (aka a CORPG) set in the Star Wars universe, with more voice overs and with less PvP.

I wouldn't let it irk you.  He/She is a huge WoW fangirl/boy that constantly trolls the forums.

If Pokket gave criticism to the game, I would probably take notice.
