-Animations are a very bad joke. It is unbelieveable to me how a multimillion dollar product gets released with this placeholder animations allover.

-UI in my face. If i could at least pick my own ui color and tone it down to some light grey. Frames and blocks are clunky as if i play on 800x600. It needs at least some HUD scaling, as on 1920 the UI takes too much space on my screen.

-Textures are terrible to a point that i wanted to scream at them. I'm playing on max settings incl. AA on 1920. Some textures are so blurry that i had to wipe blood out of my eyes every few minutes.

-Shadows haven't left alpha status i see.

-Lighting. Jedi Knight 2 in 1998 had lightsaber, blasters and particle effects casting glow and enlighten the environment. SWTOR should be a firework of lights and colors, yet my saber doesn't even cast a glow on myself.

-Lifeless environment. I haven't seen ANY ambiente stuff, not even a critter somewhere or a banner waving. Instead of NPCs they could as well have placed terminals everywhere, would be as dead.

 

I can only imagine this game to appeal to children, first time mmorpg'ers and complete SW-geeks only. Every adult mmorpg'er with some halfway decent standards and expectations to a 2012 title should boycott this (moreso considering the horrendous price of this piece)

A big budget and voiceovers obviously doesn't make an AAA title, as SWTOR with absolute basic stuff missing (day/night cycle) and blatant low quality points is clearly not.

 

I think I can call myself a big Star Wars fan, but they are not getting my hard earned money! I'm not impressed at all with this game. It's almost 2012 and even Lineage looks better than this crap.

They talk so much about their fully voiced game, and yet the game is lifeless. The NPC's could just aswel been statues, because basically thats what they are, just a beacon you go to to pick up your quest, it makes a sound when you do but thats it.

It's such a shame really... but I guess I won't be thinking about SWTOR when I'm playing GW2 in 2012.

That's what I noticed more than anything as I've played it over the last 2 weekends - how lifeless the world is.  A lot of the problems the game has can be fixed without much problem, but they have a lot to do to add LIFE to the world.  Every social hub is as described, just npc's stuck in place for the most part like statues.  A few move around here and there, but it isn't common.  Can't interact with npc's unless they are a questgiver, almost no ambient sounds / conversation from them, etc.

Then there's the mobs, who mostly stand in place like statues, and the non-aggro mobs, who just stand in place.  No critters to speak of either.  So dead.

I wish I could. But I signed up for beta and once I figured I'd be bored playing as normal I took on the role as bug hunter. Found a few interesting ones and for anyone who plans on playing the dev team acknowledged the bugs and offered a lot of communication on fixing them.

So there's a plus.

I don't hate the game.

I plan to buy it, and play it.

But, I do hate the Character Art and Style of clothing / bodies / faces / hair.

I really really really really hate it.  I don't see the point of adding in Iconic classes based on the movie characters, and then making them look like its a joke.

It makes me feel like Bioware is trying to say "ha ha, this guy is actually playing this kiddie crap."

Its embarrassing.

But, here I go anyway.

I suggest you read OP again then wiki what sandbox games are mkey.

He has valid points how to make the game alittle more alive and smooth, it has nothing to do about sandbox.

What i find most disapointing in SWTOR is the walk/jump animations and the epic sounds are not playing right.

I dont hear music or ambience much wich should be fixed soon i think.

These are the only flaws i can think of right now, i preorderd it and cancelled my wow sub.

I'm a SW geek and its about the only reason I will give this the first 30 days,  well that and my mother already bought me it as a xmas present,  I was in beta for some time but I havent touched the game since September,  bland, boring, unbalanced, ezmode.

I didnt want SWG 2 but I certainly wanted something with a bit more depth than what has been served up which is nothing more than a CRPG played through on easy difficulty and not a good one at that.

Don't start me on the technical issues seeing peoples rants over the highly pixelated shadows has been funny was one of my major complaints back in April along with AA not working I see 1 month before release shadows have still not been fixed and I'm sure there are many quirks from way back then still happening today.  I'll be very surprised if it hits its ship date.

Only thing disappointing is poeple telling me to press space while in a conversation when in a group. For the rest I went into the game with no expecations at all. I though the first 10 levels where fun however there is no replayability once you done it.

I have pre-ordered the game, but doubt I will subscribe to the game for a long time. Still think the game might give me more hours of fun then the avarage single player game gives us these days.
