Sci Fi / Fantasy

In the past Kaplan, who revealed that he is involved in the project, was asked if the game's genre would be science fiction, post-apocalyptic, or historical, and while laughing he responded: "all of those combined!"[3].

Also, according to some job listings and some inside sources the game will be a Sci Fi/fantasy MMO.

I have no expectations in this game or any other mmo coming out in the near future.

I bought into the years of hype over TOR and the game was fun until I hit lvl 50 and geared out in top tier gear.
I even rolled alts but in the end I got bored because 90% of the content is the same pve filler content.

I assumed it would just be World of Starcraft.

Why go to the trouble of creating a whole new universe and lore and all that when you've got something people are fans of already?

to not be constrained by existing canon and the expectations that it brings from the fan base.

Because Starcraft is associated with competitive gaming. They want their MMOs to be purely casual with no skill requirements at all (see WoW success).

The two don't mix.

Not nearly as much as BioWare does, if your posts are to be believed

I would enjoy a fallout/mad max themed type mmo.

where you had to craft everything from parts and components scavenged/collected.

even build your own mounts from scavenged vehicles.

I bought into the years of hype over TOR and the game was fun until I hit lvl 50 and geared out in top tier gear.
I even rolled alts but in the end I got bored because 90% of the content is the same pve filler content

The game has only been out a few months...you're that bored already? Really? I'm not attacking you, I'm genuinely asking. I started about a month ago at the urging of my daughter and her friend and just one character who just hit 38 last night. So far, it's still fun and I actually enjoy most of the quest lines and the dialogs. Does it really get super boring at max level?

when you watch a fairly generic cinematic for the ten thousand times with an npc telling you to go collect xx of something or go kill xx of something else it gets really boring and repetative.  Its pretty much like WoW except you dont have to read the quests to do them.  I only got to level 20something and I got really bored with it.  I didnt see anything new or innovative about it, other than it being a space setting.  Even taking off and landing in your space ship is a cinematic, you cant fly around in space from planet to planet.  Its not a bad game they just didnt venture too far from the WoW mold for me to be unique which has been pretty much the whole problem with the MMO industry since WoW's launch and grand success.

Endgame is nothing innovative. PvE or PvP grind, take your pick. Huge bait-and-switch from levelling to endgame, whether you're a PvE or a PvPer.

I just hit 50 5 days ago, and i am already starting to get bored with SWtor.

Here is why.

PVP - from lvl 10 to 49, i had a blast. I won some, i lost some, but i felt like i contributed to the wins and loses for whatever reasons.
First thing i did when dinging 50, is see if the rumors are true, so i que for pvp. I enter the warfront. first person to jump on me hits me for 6011, 5555, 5044. I die. I rez, come back, nearly identical numbers from a different person. Rinse repeat, rinse repeat. Now, i am a healer so i am squishy, so I finally get 200 expertise (i know NOT ENOUGH) but i thought it would help...no it hasnt. I still have a good match and heal for 350-400K from time to time, but for every 1 match i do that well, 5-7 more i dont even break half of that. So i start inspecting gear....ya i am nowhere near being viable strictly due to gear. I am 13k health atm, a good Jedi Sage geared for pvp has over 20k. Great now i gotta pvp gear grind like wow....YAY =(

PvE - Again 1-49 i could solo most of the game if not duo it with my buddy. Around 47 there were some heroic 4's that we couldnt duo anymore due to a 2 healer with companions just not having enough to take on 300K+ health champions. Hey understandable, its a heroic for 4 people and were a duo at the equal level and can kill everything but the last final mob. Cool, glad to make it that far as a duo. Then i hit 50. Now i am more undergeard then i was at lvl 15 wearing all sub lvl 10 profanity.
So i want to raid and do heroics....typical answer "sorry you are not geared enough to join us." Well i thought that was BS so i talked my guild into letting me join a few Hard Modes and an 8 man raid. Sure enough, i wasnt effing geared enough to do the content with them. I didnt heal for as much as other healers, didnt have the health to live thru AE's and what not, i didnt cast fast enough to keep up. I was like WTF. SO i conceded that i needed much better gear. So now, i have to grind Ilum dailies and pvp dailies just to gear up so i can do harder profanity. I know there is a post 50 progression, but atleast in wow and other MMO's i could start getting that gear in 5 mans and what not before I was 50. Now i hit 50, its just another grind to get geared enough to do the end game stuff. I know this sounds like me whining, but i dont want to take the effort to make 50 just to find myself worthless for all the lvl 50 content. Rift did the same exact thing and I quit because of it.

So long story short, SWtor is just another gear grind game. In the long run its WoW with lightsabers. Doesnt mean thats a bad thing, just means its the same profanity you have been playing since 2003/2004.

Guild Wars 2 and Planetside 2 cannot come fast enough for me. RvRvR ...

edit. 1-50 was a f'ing blast. It was basically KOTOR 3 with a MMO element. The main storyline was awesome. But now, on toon #2, the main storyline is still great. But having to listen(SPACEBARSKIP) thru all the same exact story lines, is getting old fast. Yes you can choose different response, but regardless it all ends with the same outcome, do or dont do the quest basically. Oh you might kill a guy cuz you decided dark side, you might kill that person cuz you went light side but in the end, its either do the quest still or dont get the XP for it.
