I can not thank Bioware enough for the following

PvP

Warzones

General

Rewards for winning Warzones have been increased. Warzone completion rewards have been decreased.

Warzones particulary alderaan have been plagued with people just capping a turret then camping AFK just popping back when someone comes and I am not talking the 2 you should leave there but 6 if not 7 leaving little old me to just go get spanked at least trying to win.

Warzones where far to friendly to noobs who had no intention of trying to win where just there for easy xp now just get me a 8 man group option for warzones so I dont have to enter them with 4 guildies and 4 retards and I'll be a happy fella.

TBH this is the one MMO where I have pondered that question and the only answer I come up with is that its relative.

I dont personally think it warrants a sub its far to instanced etc for that and does not feel like a "true" MMO but FFS its £8.99 thats not even 1 movie here in the UK these days for 30 days of kind of entertainment,

all subjective and depends on server TBH

Its a OK game at the moment I'm still relativly enjoying it but need a 8 man warzone queue ASAP as far too often getting 4 guildies and 4 complete utter ****wits which are completely ruining the matches.  Needs to fix PVP combat delay also far to often spamming abilities multiple times to trigger them and theres a 100+ page thread on this on the official boards so not just me.

At the moment its a C (has potential)

But yeah same here no crashes runs awesomely on my laptop PUGS have been really friendly so far aside the few that just dont speak whatsoever (seriously go play skyrim if you dont want to socialise in a MMO) Queues are still an issue on my server had only went away for a day or 2 of xmas but back at 5 hours last night.

Tbh, I think the number of phases / instances will go down when the madness of launch settles, think about it, there are a lot of missions where players interact with an item, like blowing generators or ships to pieces, where players on the same mission will have to wait for that item to respawn.

 

Imagine having 100s of people in the same zone/s close to launch, having to wait 5 times for a quest item is not fun for anyone, oh and the 5th time it just got ninjaed... again... too bad, back in line.

 

Aye thats my hope or can see me being done with this around the 60 day mark.

Enjoying TOR don't get me wrong but its just far to instanced and has other things going against it.

I play on Nightmare Lands a EU server that until 2 days ago had 3-5 hour queues and is heavy/full pop pretty much all day everyday.

*Instances of everything - The world feel souless and when you see that theres only 68 people in that instance of the planet your on you understand why even moving to the most populated instance you rareley see a soul.

*4 Man groups -  These are my biggest gripe why is there not a 8 man warzone group option tired of making 2 4 man guild groups and trying to get to same queue which usually doesnt happen so you nd up with 4 guildies and 4 retards who cant follow instruction.

*Companions - I cant say how much I hate this feature it so goes against what a MMO should be and is a antisocial feature in a product that should drive social elements.

Other than that its good fun but for me these are almost dealbreakers.

Its more to do with the companion you get IMO.

Theres a number of classes where the initial companion makes little to no sense in actually helping you depending on your spec.

I personally am playing Jedi Shadow infiltration spec so Qyzen as a first companion is ideal as he tanks whilst I take people from behind, fnar fnar, now if I had went Kinetic combat spec Qyzen makes zero sense and I'd be stuck until the mid 20s for getting a actual useful companion.

Seriously,if you dont like ToR then i would recommend quiting the mmo gaming industry.This obviously is my point of view but i really think that for now this is the most complete mmo out there and if you find yourself not liking it than maybe its time for you to rethink the type of game you want,you`ll probably find out that mmos arent for you.

Its a OK game nothing more nothing less its not the pinnacle of MMO's,  far from it in fact,  it lacks innovation, it lacks the MM in MMO, its a star wars guild wars mixed with some Mass Effect.

Its enjoyable dont get me wrong but its far from the holy grail of what a MMO could and should be.

Jedi Shadow Infiltration spec

Loving PVP TBH  sneaky sneaky and explode on people with interupts, mez, stuns and good DPS,    very squishy but providing you get the first strike you should be fine.

Key to PVP is knowing your class and keeping your gear orange or purple due to how Bolstering works.

Level 22 shadow with level 20 purples your like a 50 with purples which is a massive stat difference over a 50 with greens.

Play to your classes strenghts some you can just facerool the keyboard and do OK others you really are watching cooldowns looking for targets isolating people etc etc

I like shadow as despite its stealth its a real challenge to play well.

Its not a class that will get you top of the leaderboard though we are single target DPS so we simply cannot put out the overall damage ratings that a BH trooper (AOE) can put out. 

and High textures arent yet in game.

low is low medium is medium high is medium.

157 people are waiting for guild wars 2.

Was the same with COD:MW3 Ihate COD but didnt review it (how can you review something you wont play) there where a lot of BF3 fanbois the day it released giving it 0s or 1s just the way the internet works

With this new rig, it almost seems like a tragedy that you are playing Republic!

This bastion of the dark side is glorious!

Heh true

Finished my little project I was working on.

A little PC I made for TOR's release just finished him this afternoon.

http://youtu.be/KoLZBzYBOz0?hd=1

Blocky shadows have existed since alpha and have been raised and raised and raised again.

Another MMO pandering to the casio calculator using WOW generation.  SIGH

Character customisation stinks of that also and are the 2 biggest let downs from a graphical standpoint.   Even forcing graphics up uber high via .ini theres very few places it makes look better graphics are just so dumbed down with little scaleability you get 2 options shit or shitter.

The mistake you made was buying a game from bloody Tesco  bought mine from a little chain called and I love this the name says it all, GAME, got my beta code 3 days later and the box arrived on the 14th ready for the 15th, great service! who buys games from effing Tesco I'm gobsmacked 

True to Tesco but GAME LOL your one of the lucky ones.

GAME took far to many boxed CE pres than they had codes for so a LOT of people have been left highly dissapointed.

Where are we upto right now?

18 october the latest?

I don't think that the Oct 18th is trustworthy.  There are a few of us 1st week in Oct registrants that don't have it yet.  My guess is that it ended in late Sept/very early Oct.

Yeah my pal October 4th and myself October 3rd both havent got in as yet so I doubt/hope that someone from the 18th has got in.

3rd of October here and mine hasnt landed yet so dont think they are that far or I'm just getting shafted :)  Not that bothered have plenty of Back to Karkand action anyway when I finish work tonight.

This may be a side-effect of trying to group guilds with their allied guilds. Or just a flaw in the code they used to assign servers :P

With such an imbalance queue times for PVP will be huge for one side and instant for the other.  Also world pvp will be near impossible for one side since they will always be massively outnumbered.

Trying is the right word because thats also a cluster****

of our selections we are on a server with 1 small guild ally,  all our enemies and our other allies are on another server together along with 6 other guilds from EU Chimaera.

We spent months planning a interweave of us all in the maximum effort to get us together to see 2 of us shafted.

Hope theres no queues on this other server because we sure as **** arent heading where we were assigned.

Balderunner yes please.

But really the only one I would love to see (raises middle finger to CME) is Stargate so much potential such fantastic settings and lore.

How anybody could fudge that up or fail to get backing for one of the biggest IP's around at a time when MMO's where on the boom due to WOW is beyond me,  the execs at CME must have been absolute morons.

As 90% of the devs behind JTL are on the TOR team hopefully we will see a more free form version of space in the future for the mere price of £39.99 SIGH!!!
