Out of Pod Experience

And it's soooo boring! I was so happy to log back into Eve. I've tried to enjoy it but it's feels like a kids game.

1. Looks cartoony and so low res. The design is blah.
2. Space combat? It's on rails.
3. Clicking 1,1,1,2,1,3,1 isnt really game play.
4. It plays like a low res rpg.
5. It's an amusement park mmo.
6. It's a complete copy of wow, which in itself is so outdated.
7. No depth
8. Has the illusion of choice which really isn't choice.
9. PvP?
10. No real death penalty

I could go on.

It has a few good features, but then so do most games, doesnt mean they are worth playing. It's crazy that over 100 mill went into the development and that was the result.

It's really made me love Eve more.

Everything in your list is well known, and has been dicussed in depth for months.


But you bought the EGA and played anyway?



That's... ********.

Say what you want, SWTOR is an awesome game. And it works. I am so very very tired of all the breakage that accompanies each patch in EvE. It is still happening, and in my stupid and humble opinion, it will never change. EvE will never have professional level programmers that actually meet industry standards for quality control.

And creativity? Sorry, but if the best they come up with is to whack PI thiniking it will lead to hi sec players migrating into lo sec, they have cranium inserted into rectum. Me and a bunch of others who were already farming planets in lo sec are now simply disengaged from PI. It is said there are "friendly corps" who set taxes low and allow harvesters like me to access their POCOs. Yeah? Not in the systems I run in. And not anywhere close by. Oh, but the new T3 BattleCruisers are really cool because they have alpha but require massive repper support... I'll eat my words if anyone is really using them effectively because since they deliver high DPS and are relatively easy to whack, they are a reasonable choice to take out first ... Buh bye T3 BC's...

So, CCP can continue their blind travels whilst they alienate even more players by catering to mega-corps and griefers.

I'll keep mining (when I'm drinking barley wine) and doing L4's, Incursons, and exploration when sober. But I think light sabres have a place in my future...

SWTOR is a WoW 2.0.

It is simply a better WoW, with a story tied to your class, with choices in the quests and it makes for a better game than WoW.

It depends on your perspective, of course. But I wish that Bioware had played it less safe and minimized the amount of the crap that seems like a must-have in this industry (even EVE has them). The go here, kill that or fetch this-type of quests because that is what kills the game for me.

I find PvP almost relaxing, no risk vs. reward though and sadly a grind, but it is not a game I would play by myself. It is a game I would get a few buddies together to play.

But in all honesty, I am with the OP here - I am quickly getting TORED with the game.

Anyone know how to force anti-aliasing into swtor?

I have a geforce 275 I imagine its in the video card options ?

The Old Republic is so different than Eve. First off its all PVE, its very linear. Your experience is the same as everyone else's to some degree. You have specific classes you can be. Thinking back at some of the things I've been in Eve - Pirate, mission runner, mining security, trader, builder, space trucker, soldier . . . and everything I have yet to try . . . its so much deeper than just being a jedi or a bounty hunter.

Star Wars is currently a children's property making content for boys, which also means the Old Republic has a lot younger player than Eve.

Its a totally different game.

devs themselves clearly stated they were making a wow clone. they admitted it, and people are still surprised to find out that..... drum roll please...... its wow with light sabers.

I have been playing it more and well.

I want to be fair. STO was absolute crap when it launched and it took 6 months for it to shine.

However, There are already times when it feels like a chore. Especially with the side quests. The cover system is cumbersome in its current form so I have switched to tank classes.

I will play the month I have and go back to others for 3 months and give them a fair chance to fix things. However, it is so dependent on its storyline missions that without constant new things to do I bet it will get stale very very quickly.

Well it's a single player MMO,like wow, after all and you people wonder why you might feel as if being let down ?

Havn't played WoW, ever.

Played Eve, that was cool.... also very very cruel. :)

Played SWTOR.... I liked it, but I was pretty drunk. Also i'm now down £55... total bullshit. I honestly thought it owuld be Mass Effect 2, but Star Wars/MMO.

I'll give it 1 more go in the morning, b4 I unsub.
