I would really like to return to finish my character's story, which I was really enjoying. However, I'm a healer on my main and I heard they were nerfed pretty badly, and I wonder about having good enough gear to finish my story too, but.....like the poll said, I'll return and "see how it goes." I doubt that I'll be inspired to do it on a pay to play basis though, so just free to play for now. We'll see if it's possible to do what I want on free to play. If not.....no great loss, I still have GW2. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

Originally posted by grimal lol i don't know why people thnk I care what game they like or hate just so many inconsistancies and biases between games.. anyways i digress.. just found it odd you think swtor is a mmorpg yet your reasoning to call others non-rpgs is very present in this game.. anyways moving on oh back to the OP i actually MAY jump in to finish my story but not sure we will se.. the star wars lover in me says I need to but the gamer in me just can't. 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 |

I will most likely log in and stare at my Jedi toon. Then I'll remember how boring the game actually is and log out. Shame tbh. |

I will rejoin my level 42 toon and bounce back and forth in my limited time between both games. They both are different and both have their strengths and weaknesses. For me, the bouncing back and forth between both will extend my interest in both. If want a strong story and play solo PVE, Ill play SWTOR. If I want more of join in with others with a cheesy story, then I play GW2. For example, Im now level 43 in GW2, but Im getting tired of the snow filled lands. Thats when I feel like I should switch to SWTOR. Then I play that for a bit, then Ill miss the world of GW2 as it really is a beautiful one :-). I do find I like the join with others formula and the combat better than SWTORs, but again, both games have their strengths and weaknesses.

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

After playing GW2... I'd say I'll be heading here to play a bit. Still uneasy about their F2P restrictions but I did find some enjoyment at least out of the personal story. Given the restrictions not being to tight, I'll likely be playing it. Generick as it is I've honestly found much more enjoyment out of level on SWTOR then GW2... *cringe at the fact* ... so I'll probably be using this for alt leveling thrills. Not sure how well it will be (wasn't big on many of the side quests) but hopefully its able to be a nice little casual play on the side when I'm needing a rift break. :)

I'm bored to tears of GW 2, so I'll probably give this another try once it's free. The way they've done F2P sounds pretty lame though especially the weekly limits on PvP matches and space combat. Still playing another class story or two could be an adequate way to kill time for a while.

SWTOR needs way too much work to ever draw me back to it. I was never so excited to play a new game and SWTOR completely let me down. I will never again get that fired up for a new game. |

I want to, and I mean I really really want to because I seriously enjoyed my time with the game. Especially my Sith warrior. However, I am always reminded of why I left and that was waiting for content and I don't mean oh I'm bored they need to add more I mean content I thought was coming really soon, but I just kept getting fractions of. Then I wonder how long it will take them to release new content of the game in it's current state which I don't believe is horrible, I hear it's a standard sub population just not EA or public demand huge. I was thinking that since this was a story based game they'd be releasing new story content, kinda like how Funcom plans for Secret World. I was expecting a continuation on raid stories and so forth and was super excited about it but I just don't know. I kinda want another company to look at this and take another shot at a Star Wars MMO. I never played Galaxies, but I'm not sure I completely want that either. Maybe a hybrid of the two where I can get my Sith Juggernaut on with cooler armor, more open progression, and more things to do.

Originally posted by Aerowyn If you think my reasoning is the same, then you haven't read or understood my points very well. Release a game with a very large established fanbase from 10+ years of bnet history when the market was still emerging and the casual base had not yet been established, thus ripe for harvesting a momentious self perpetuating playerbase people never leave because they have X hours invested in their characters, and their friends and everyone else plays anyway. Not discounting Blizzard quality... but WoW's success is as much about perfect timing as it is quality, if not more so. - Derros |

SWTOR doesn't have the full MMO, they lost the Massive part of it so its Multiplayer Online.

I have to go with 'I hate everything it stands for.'
I managed to get my Bounty Hunter to max level, almost fully PvP gear'd (which was terrible btw with their horrid RNG for PvP gear), and through the Bounty Hunter's most god-awful story line I've ever went through in an RPG. I really didn't want to spacebar through the story, as I'm usually not a watch the cutscene and read the quest type of player, but by the end of it I really wish I had.
The only thing I ended up doing was queuing for battlegrounds in the end. I believe F2P you can play only 3 BG's per week? If so, definately no reason for me to even redownload it. Hell they even scrapped the little open world PvP zone they had didn't they?
Rift's PvP has always been terribly unbalanced but I'd much rather resub to it and play their new expansion than return F2P to SWTOR. Or even better, I'll just load up League of Legends. As all these new MMORPG's are nothing but glorified lobby games anymore anyways, MOBA > MMORPG PvP for me. Now if it was actually open world PvP, immersive, that could be a different story... (I'm not talkin hardcore full lootz, just in the actual damn world not some BG instance or even PvP only zone to throw us in). |

Originally posted by bigsmiff This. The problem with SWTOR is its the same ol same ol. It's not even *worth* the time to play. I've played "TOR" a thousand times before TOR was actually released, its called "WoW" and all its clones it spawned. For someone like me, who has a full time job and schooling, I don't have time to play a game that I've already played before, I wanted something new and TOR didn't deliver in the slighest bit. Maybe its my age (28) but it just seems the glory years for MMO's are over, I can't get into them anymore, I used to be attached to characters in MMO's (SWG, CoH, WoW, etc) but now its like I just don't care, modernized MMO's have taken the "character" out of your character, if that makes any sense. Well, thats my small and meaningless rant for the day. I think the only reason I even check these forums is because SWTOR really was the last hope for me, I remember being pumped for this game, thinking it was gonna be the dream MMO that I was always waiting for... got 2 months in and I facepalmed, this game was a disaster. Oh well, maybe something might rekindle my spirts to play again, but F2P isn't it. |

I would like to come back. I don't feel that the f2p option will draw me back because i already played the stories.
I will wait on ship/hanger/housing features the space combat upgrade and pvp to be somewhat playable and some instance of open world pvp re-instated. I do not care for flashpoints, or gear grinds or any of that. I want to have a hangar full of ships, to role play, and to "live" in a galaxy far far away. When they give me that feeling i'll be back. |

F2P is nice but I left becouse I beat the game ( never thought I would say that in a MMo but I did). The only way i will come back is if they put Space Combat in the game. Not the Star Fox crap that is there now. I guess im just waiting for SWG 2 to be made.

I'll be back to level a char with a friend. Gonna play it like a coop singleplayer game and ignore all flawed MMO-aspects of it. Not gonna spend a dime in their shop.
