Starwars: the old republic

Anyone play S:WTOR?

Used to. Cancelled my subscription on account of not having money.

I played it. I hit a point where it felt very done and quit playing. Not that I had finished the content. It has some internal story for each class and when i finished it for my class I felt like I was finished

I used to. Aren't they going to a free to play model soon? Or can you already play up to 20 for free?
It was kind of odd. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it didn't feel a lot different than other MMOs.

The Secret World is kind of interesting due to theme, and they've got the skill wheel rather than standard progression which is kind of cool, but their graphics are dated.

Due to lack of money, I've resorted to playing Aion for free to fill my online thrills for the moment.

Gameplay was too much like WoW with lightsabers for the story-lines to entertain me. It felt pretty much no different to when I levelled another WoW toon. The vibe I got from it was basically:

- if you like WoW, may as well play WoW
- if you don't like WoW and aren't into Star Wars, you won't like SW:TOR
- if you like WoW and aren't into Star Wars, may as well play WoW
- if you don't like WoW but you're into Star Wars, you'll get some enjoyment out of playing the story-lines
- if you like WoW and you're into Star Wars, you'll enjoy the game and probably play it regularly

To me, there was some enjoyment to be gained out of it since I like Star Wars. But I'm not a huge fan or anything, I was more interested in the game play. It really wasn't what I was hoping for (a better version of WoW Arena) so I didn't stay very long.

I think if the game was radically different to WoW (for good or ill) it would have been more successful. I know I would have enjoyed it much more if it didn't feel so stale (Collect X amount of Y item. Find A, then go from B to C to claim your reward etc) and I would have played the story modes a lot longer if the gameplay was something fresh and enjoyable.

It also probably would have drawn in a lot more of the anti-WoW crowd, and perhaps even more of the WoW crowd who were so busy drawing comparisons like, 'this game tries to be like WoW, but it sucks at it. What a try hard game.' (A bit of an exaggeration, but I actually sort of agree).

I played it to the max level + 1 month on launch. I didnt get a lot out of the month.

Current enjoying the Secret World more.

 

[eagor]

I played it for a while at release. Never made it to the max level .
I did enjoy starfox spaceship minigame-like thing though. Pew pew pew!

It just felt too clunky.
