This isn't flaming as I love SW and really enjoyed this game at first, but now the game is boring the hell out of me now, I don't know if it's just Nar Shadar but there is no variety in quests. They're all go here and kill this. Tiresome.

yup, it's an mmo. I'm trying to take my time with it since I know I usually lose interest once I start grinding through the content.

Here's a little tip:  Play casually and make new friends.  When you just solo all the time, any game will become boring no matter how compelling it is.

Yeah, what did you expect? In previews and reviews it was clearly stated that VO and presentation mask the lack of variety in quest design. I don't know if you do it, but skipping dialogue kills most of what makes SWTOR exceptional in the genre.

Edit: typos

I do both, I'm in a new guild with new guys making new friends. It's the fact all the quests are the same thats boring me.

Damn brah, I noticed you actually heavily supported the game, right? If so this is interesting.

It's also good that I wasn't the only one who thought this when playing in OB.

Yeah I did. I'll still play as I bought the game and I've got my free month, but I'm unsure if I'll sub.

im on nar shadda and loving it. I love as an inquisitor having to take out a krayt gang, i love as world quests having to take out the exchange, only to piss off the hutts and make a decision on the imperial agent that gave me the quests

i am having a blast on nar shadda, so i guess its all in what u like to do. I for one listen to all the dialouge haven never done it before. 

Hell its an mmo if u arent kiling stuff waht do u want to do? WAter a watermelon patch, harvest metals on a timer? Dance for omoney in a bar for 10 hrs straight

just saying in an mmo u kill shit . There are mmos u like ff14 where u have alternate leveling avenues or sandbox games where u can be an entertainer but most themepark games u level by killing stuff.

What level did you make it to out of interest?

My observation is that most quests are the same across all MMOs. The difference is in presentation. 

All MMORPG's are currently repetetive grindfests because we make them that way. When we charge blindly through content in 8-16hr marathons we put pressure on these companies to pump out more grind. When we complain that there is nothing to do at cap they slow progression. When we complain that it takes too long they nerf the system. When we complain that they are over-reactive to the vocal minortiy they stop listening. When they stop listening subs fall off.

New game comes out. Rinse. Repeat.

if hes on nar shadda its a level 20-24 zone ,  i for one love the view most abotu nar shadda. So they made it to 20 at least .

I know this, I mean I want variety in quests.

24 atm, but I havent stopped playing.

it gets more fun on tattoine cuz its more open world

A couple things. Quest aren't all kill x quest in all mmos. I mean jeeze...in runescape the quest were puzzles and little storylines. If they can make better quest in java, your telling me some AAA company can't? This isn't directed at swtor, but "all themeparks have crappy quest" really isn't an excuse.

And a even easier solution: get rid of quest and make a new advancement system.

Sure, it's an MMO, but there's just something about TOR that feels slower and more monotonous than most other MMOs.  I've tried to figure it out, maybe its the combat animations, weak sound effects, or whatever, but I really don't know.  I even had a lot more fun with Rift's combat, in spite of macroing all my attacks to a single key.  And WoW's, despite it having almost no animation at all, by today's standards.  Or Aion's, which is your very generic stand-in-place hotkey repetition, but still, felt a lot more entertaining.

For me, that's what makes this game feel so boring.  Something about the combat just feels extraordinarily dull, not that it's a generic MMO, or that the quests are too repetitive, etc, etc.

You're probably not alone in this situation, because this has happened to me countless times in other MMOs. I'm bored to tears of every MMO already out and screaming for the new release and when it arrives, I play so much at first, I start to burn myself out on it.

Granted, I'm playing with 3 very close friends of mine, the game hasn't gotten to that point yet. SWTOR is a new type of MMO too, it's not anything like AoC which was a combat heavy MMO. BioWare states the end-game PvP is to die for, but we'll see. Once I reach 50 and get settled in, I'll know then if a heavy story driven MMO is the new era in our genre.

Hope things take a turn for the better for you.
