"a certain something", "general F2P feeling". Could you be any more vague? I've tried many F2P titles and the production quality is what gives a game the F2P stench.

So you're saying the production quality in TERA can be compared to that of Asian F2P games???

 

Why don't I see the same being said about a certain other inexplicably expensive title which is ultimately a steaming pile of turd? Oh right, it's not Asian.

Look what is going  to happen to Aion, going F2P. People said the same thing about it as well. To be honest It's hard for any game to charge a fee these days and survive for more than a few years, if lucky. Seems to be the new trend. Pretty sure in a few years we will be seeing this game go free or freemium along with many other western titles, like SWTOR.

It's amazing, but, who's the Sith guy raging at the control panel? From which storyline are these bits?

Edit: OMG, Sony blocked the last two seconds of that video in my county! /faceslap at that fail

It's the Sith Warrior storyline.

I like how they dodge the player housing question.

Holy crap that was funny xD

The poster on the SWTOR forums is funny...that wasn't an "experiment" that was just him getting a headache and continuing to play the game.

Any game can trigger a headache. Heck, sitting down in front of his computer could have triggered a migraine. There are plenty of bright flashing lights just streaming the internet. 

Furthermore, most migraine sufferers will tell you if they feel a migraine coming on there is typically very little they can do (short of something like lying in bed with their eyes closed) that will stop it from getting worse (and even then it typically still gets worse, they are just more prepared by being in a quiet place in the dark). Someone feeling a migraine coming on and thinking "Hm I'll just keep playing a video game" is just asking to suffer.

hehe, and an honest Doctor response kills the legitimacy of the complaint.

SWTOR never did it to me, but I can relate to the complaint.

I have actually gone to the ER over an Everquest  gaming session, started with motion sickness, progressed to a horrible migraine, and ended up with a seizure.

Turned out to be photosensitive occipital lobe epilepsy, and until this incident I had never presented a single symptom.

Since that seizure I get frequent inner eye pain, migraines, and my eye twitches.

 

So seriously it can happen just saying.

Oh I know it can, in SWG for some odd reason the dark light and constant flashes of Mustafar made me and many others sick and or dizzy, but I'm not realy certain BioWare cares about every sympom someone has and if you took a tylonol. If it's serious, discontinue use and go talk to your doctor. Lets see how they respond to this I guess.

I went looking for this game before I saw this thread, MMORPG.com needs to either update the forum title with "Closed", or remove the dang forum.

I've been ranting on about this game ever since my extensive beta experience. In general, what one experiences in beta is what they experience on the live servers. However, I broke down and decided to give it another try (because of guildmate pressure).

So I installed the game and started playing. Again, the story was pretty entertaining at first. However, after a few days, I couldn't deal with all the useless "run here, run there, come back, run here, deliver this, come back" bullcrap. Most of my playtime seemed to be just running along these boring paths.

My guildies agreed that the questing becomes boring as heck. So they had pretty much leveled up via PvP. Okay. "I'll try that."

So we queue our group for PvP. It's a beatdown. We pillaged just about every Void Star, Huttball, and Alderaan match. However, after about the 20th time, I couldn't take it anymore. Dailes / PvP / Rinse & Repeat - ugh.

I left the group and headed over to the nearest Auction House. It was flooded with players - all wearing the same Battlemaster-whatever gear. They all looked the same. They all had the same few speeders. They all had the same little pets. They all had the same titles.

My goodness. This game is honestly the worst MMO I've ever played. It's not a clone of WoW, though. Even a linear game like WoW has MUCH MORE depth than SWTOR. This game is terrible and should not be considered a MMORPG.

Even my guildies agreed that they would be long gone had it not been mildly entertaining playing with friends.

And why it should be F2P imho. SUre they can add all they want, eventually everyone will look the same agian though.

Your biggest problem with the game is that it's not another totally different game with the same IP.


Sounds like you got sold on the IP alone.


Well, if it makes you feel any better, as a Star Wars fan, at least your getting better SW story an lore out of Bioware than you have out of anything Lucas has crapped out in the past decade.

Basically, at least it's better than the prequels.


Want my advice? Too bad, I'm giving it to you anyways. Get all you the entertainment you can out of the stories that interest you, and decide if you want to move on after that.

Don't regret the sub, $15 dollars is way less than it would cost you to rent or buy all three prequels, an you're going to get better storytelling.

Enjoy it while you've got it at least. Nothing to regret.

umm, beyond story (which IMHO is minor selling point for most people), the IP is the big selling point. I mean if BW had made some random fantasy game with just story, people would have groaned about it even more. Star Wars is what sold this game man.

Best thing in those patches

Hydrosupply leak was one of my favorite stories.

Why must all the armor in this game make one look like they're at a cosplay-fest?

well since we need to stay on topic and the topic is "Removed", I say that is a great idea, next time I'll do a *mod edit* and get the crowd really going.

I don't think this proves that subscription-based MMOs are dead, but that devs and publishers will finally realize that you can no longer release a sub-based game an expect a huge number of subscribers. New sub-based games will become a niche and will do well in holding a 1 million of less subscribers, but the days of dreaming WoW sub numbers are dead.

at least looking to get  those numbers when you only launch your game in EU and N/A

Well op left his idea of a reason in another thread but MMORPG.com deleted it, but funny thing is my browser still has it cached. Not sure what to say tbh

dude, you can't make a thread like this and then remove the post. It's like giving away a free hamburger and then pulling out the meat and saying "sike" I'm no fan of meatless hamburgers, bring the beef back.
