So many of you complain about MMO's now days having fast leveling. But you refuse to play Asian MMO because of the slow level grind.

I am kind of confused about this. the community that ask for these slow leveling MMO, simply wont play Asian MMO which have a much slower leveling pace, because of the fact it has a slow leveling pace.

so what is it, you really want?
L2-----> Aion
AoC had a grind early on. but people complained... again,, what is it you want from the leveling speed? Is there a balance of being too fast and too slow? if so, what is this perfect standard?

It has nothing to do with slow leveling pace to me, it has to do with the fun I have while leveling slow. If a game is fun to me and I want to see all the content a game has to offer i ll shut xp off if I could, even if it adds a year to hit max.

Games that take a week or 2 to hit max level, is not a journey , it s a speed bump in the way to max level. I want original DAOC again, took a long time to hit max, and at max was the meat of the game, but i had a shit load of FUN, on the way.

Worst MMO ever.  I still want my money back, the game was nothing like they promised prerelease.

Boring combat.

Boring and stale world.

Boring crafting.

No reason to ever play this again.

Lol, ok.

Games that take no time at all to hit end game. I like really slow leveling curves so I can enjoy the journey, not most MMOs crappy endgame.

If 2.0 can have a ffxi feel, even somewhat, I won t care about any other MMO at all. I m hoping so, and actually optimistic about it, but we ll see. I might be the rare MMO type nowadays, but I actually like the journey, and a long ass journey too, rather then the end game. Please SE make this ffxi 2, with a few tweaks for the UI(which it seems like they are).

Good to know, I hate leveling too fast:)

Can you shut off xp in Tera. I always hate how quick leveling in games are now, and was hoping I could shut it off from time to time, to see content in a zone, somewhat at the level it was meant to be.

I m currently playing eq2 and swtor. I love both games and see great things still to come, especially in SWTOR. I can t wait for gw2, D3, and PS 2. That said I miss the slow leveling bigtime. I remember when DAOC first came out, it took me 1.5 years to hit max. In that time I looked forward to logging in everyday, because everything felt like an accomplishment. The community was amazing because of this. We needed each other. I also LOVED FFXI, for that reason. Everything and I mean everything had a purpose. Now you don t really need anyone and things feel almost lifeless.

Heres hoping FFXIV 2.0 can be alot more like FFXI, then WOW and i ll be happy again.

haha it was clearly a joke...might want to relax a bit on the defense mode fan boy =p

Lol, ok.

I don t agree with th above poster that it needs to come out in March. Let the actually people who are now in control and give a crap about the product finish it. It s the only game on the horizon, if they can pull off what they re saying that can pull me away from any game out there. If it s remotely close to the feel I got in FFXI, then ya i ll play this solely, and not look back.

SWTOR better start working on their Free2Play model =p

Ya, not even close. SWTOR, after the free month are still at heavy, most servers and some standard. I haven t seen 1 light server, unless it s 1 am. That said, GW2 is going to be amazing, but will effect SWTOR little IMO. Most people I know and have talked to will play both or GW2 and another MMO.

GW2 will be a great game, no doubt, but I still see a million threads in the future of, I m max now what. It s ineviatable with any MMO nowadays.

Why would anyone take anything from polls on this site.

Lol, nice attempt, they ve been fixed already, pretty quick IMO. My fave game of all time, daoc, had many many exploits, some never fixed. This is such a lame attempt to try and bash the game. This stuff happens, it will happen again, in this and other games. Calm down , things happen, but they get fixed. It s not that big of a deal.

- People report that the new AA lowers their performance by 80%. How can they screw up something that was working in beta and it was just as simple as putting it back again, is beyond me.

- Tons of new graphic glitches of all kinds  

- tons of servers report unexistant wzs after hours of queueing

- tons of servers report that republic is plain unable to move out of the spawn point in Ilum without being inmediatly zerged to death.

- Ilum turret's exploit for endless Valor. Exploiters will be maxing Valor in 1 day.

 

 

 

someone please tell BioWare that if their intention was killing the game, shutting down the servers was a faster way to do it, and it would cause less misery and frustration to their playerbase.

 

Outside of the turret exploit, not one of those issues for me, and my server seems balanced in Illum.

I could care less if anyone cares that my wife , myself and all of my guild minus 1 is subbing. I don t think it will be a mass exodus, alot leaving sure, but I see more joining daily, so I think it will slowly grow in time.

Reading these threads I honestly feel like I am playing a different game. i absolutely love the game, maybe I am mad or is my taste that bad?

your not the only one m8.....loving it also.....but i do have to admit that it still has flaws, but still very enjoyable game imho.

ps: loads of gamers realy need a break from powerlvling imo...they rush to the end* just to complain there aint enough content in it......makes me lol.

* because thats where the fun is???? repeating dungeons (flashpoints; whatever the name).

My highest char is 30 and working on about 4 other chars as well......enjoying every little story detail untill now.....have not roleplayed a mmorpg in years like this.......so i like it ALOT.

just my 2 copperz.

 

It s pretty simple really. There are a select few , that do nothing but whine that the game wasn t catered to their style. It s a good quality game, that as they say is severly lacking. Not at all, I never once logged in and had to look for quests, I could always hit a button and join a warzone, flashpoints, yep theres plenty, titles to gain, yep, space combat, oh ya a mini game they re adding to, open world pvp they re adding to and improving now. Raids, yep they re there.

Bottom line is, it s a good themepark game, with a great story added. The select few whiners are so butt hurt, they have to rehash the same crap over and over and over, to I guess sound important.

It is rather amusing to me anyways, and they keep me entertained, while I m getting ready for work, and dont have time to log into SWTOR.

The "I told ya" moment is slowly crawling out

the most fun thing about it is that I dont even have to say it out loud - because even the fans admit the game lacks a lot 

 The I told you so moment from the same people screaming this game will fail before it was released. HAH. The game does need some more polish, but it's just sad we see the same hater names starting the same tired topics, seems like they would just move on, but guess some people have too much time on their hands.

So some people are allowed to be critical of the game and some are "haters" so it does not count.

Sorry, man. But just because some people didn't need to actually buy the game to see that its crap, simply because they have more experience with mmos or just simple common sense to smell a dud before it came out (and there were PLENTY warning signs) doesn't mean they are psychotic "haters." It just means that they happened to be right and you happened to be wrong so just be a man and admit it. No one will think less of you. God knows I've hyped some games that turned out to be real stinkers, lol.

I'm a "hater" and I feel justified in my "hating." From Biowares' almost frightening reliance on "story, story, STORY" to exclusion of everything else down to the christmass release date which in EA's track record usually means one of two things a) they're pushing the game unfinished just to make christmass box sales and b) everybody will buy any shit when its christmass, better to ride it out than rely on retention which we know isn't forthcoming because the game is crap . Sadly, both of those proved true this time. Ill rather gnaw my leg off than buy another EA game. They really deserve to burn.

 

Forget hater, I think yours in an obsession that needs to be diagnosed. Wow, take a break from anything gaming before you pop a vein, they re games lol.

SWTOR, by a long shot. Rift is and was the most boring MMO I ve played in years. Rifts become annoying, world events are literally the same thing everytime, and the game just felt so small. To each their own, but to me Rift is a step backwards.

i choose rift anyday..but if your happy with 10 billion load screens an hour then you stick with swtor ..but just out of curiosity..lets see in a few months time wether or not you think swtor is the most boring mmo you ever played.you will be suprised how quickly you can tire of the same old stuff.

Like doing Rifts you mean? Or going to a quest hub in a zone with an invasion to find it swarming with elites and the you're the only one in the zone... that gets old quick too.  Things will get old prettry quick in both games.

oohh let me think..at least rift tried to do something different..only thing different in swtor is your paying to watch a film..and thats it..how many times do you watch the same film..me i may watch a film once or twice at most..then i never touch it again..i,m not knocking your game m8..but for me i dont want some cut scene for 5 mins to be told to go kill xx number of mobs..sorry not for me..by the time you have watched that i could have done 2-3 quests in rift which is good enough for me.

Pretty simple answer, I don t like Rift, I can tell you in a few months I won t be bored of SWTOR, I was in beta a long time. I m still loving it. I think the vocal minority on this site is really trying hard to get their word out.

lol @ legit.

If you can't appreciate the genre you're reviewing, you shouldn't be reviewing it.  SWTOR offers the best leveling experience of any themepark MMO.  It in no way deserves a 6/10 release score.

This I agree with, haven t had this much fun leveling ever for that matter, and actually enjoy alts again.

I would say the opposite. If you appreciate the genre you are reviewing there is no way this game can get a higher score than 6. The game is primarily a single player game and could basically be played offline without noticing much of a difference.

Even for a themepark the game is extremely linear so to the extent that WoW is less linear and once you played on either the Republic and Empire any alt you play will level through the 75% same content with only the class story being noticeable different.

Not true at all, it s less linear then most themeparks I ve played. I can tell you WOW isn t less linear in my experiences. My alts aren t leveling through 75% of the same content, not even close. I have found camps off of the beaten path that actually have quests, some I haven t done on other chars. I actually took my main to many of the planets only to find quests etc, that my main never even saw.

You can barely pay attention to the game and what it has to offer while playing it, come on here and say complete garbage, or actually play the game, explore a little, and see it has alot more to offer then you think.
