Any1 else feel ripped off about old republic?

It's a terrible, terrible game that shouldn't exist.

nail on the head. All that money for one of the worst releases in the last 5 years. Possibly the worst MMO, if you can even call it that, of all time.

I understand that people have different opinions and I don't expect everyone to agree with mine. That said, it's my opinion that this ^ quote here is one of the most over dramatic and ridiculous statements I have ever read on this forum.

TOR isn't going to change the mmo genre for sure but it's a good game. And to say "Possibly the worst MMO, if you can even call it that, of all time" is a joke.

I hate all the restrictions, but I'm having an okay time with the free version. I don't know what to do when I get behind in levels though. I can see it coming where I won't be high enough level to continue questing. Limitations on flashpoints, warzones, and space battles means I would have to do some serious grinding. Kill random monsters for hours just to get to the next quest level. I won't do that, so I might end up quitting before I get to level cap.

I am currently a sub member and I have bought 2 armor sets so far and each character has improved greatly. You could argue it is pay 2 win but so far I rather like the cartel market place that has been added and don't feel ripped off.

Oh, the TORtanic threads again. Remember when Bioware said it was gonna surpass WoW? Remember when the BDF were spouting their nonsense about the game being totally fine and the servers being full and all that stuff, and subs rising? Remember when they said it was normal that EA stocks were dropping? And now the game going F2P is a good thing! Oh Biodrones, you never cease to amuse me!

SW:TOR for game of the year, despite it being released in 2011, it obliterated my sides throughout all 2012!

I brought this game at release 1 year ago and now its going free to play? Not only that i remember paying alot more than normal for a PC game due to development costs. I wouldn't be so pissed if facking EA/bioware give me something back. A couple monthssubscription time or credits. Anything to say i didn't waste £38.

PCgameruk

I have friends that have had that happen to them 3-4 times. Other times the games have just been shut down all together. With MMO's it is just how it seems to work these days.

Yay, we can use coins on outfits we can already mostly get ingame. Most of the stuff in the store is useless crapola

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] But they are giving u Cartel Credits if u purchased the game, doesn't anyone read anymore?FelipeInside

the point being swtor stuff is all useless to a subscriber basically. LotrO is filled with cosmetics in the shop, but they dont have the same look as stuff you get through normal gameplay, plus they have dungeons and expansions in there too for lotro

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] Outfits and Pets and other stuff isn't there? Don't all in-game stores have useless cosmetic stuff? Or else everyone complains it's Pay2Win.FelipeInside

cartel coins unlock armor sets that are adaptive copies of sets already in the game, and dumb lockboxes with silly loot in them. If you don't subscribe, you can buy 'features' like toggle helmet with coins. From playing since release up until the end of the summer, with all my coins I could afford the toggle helmet button and the uniform color toggle button. A suit for armor was 3 months worth of sub coins alone. And the only way to get more coins is with subbing or buying coin packs.

With lotro, i could earn them with achievements, and I used them to unlock the entire map's quest system, two expansions (one expansion I bought hard copy because it was rare, had bonus items, and I like to support good developers), a bunch of outfits that I cannot get through normal gameplay, a mount, about 8 skirmish packs, a few dungeons, and some roleplay emotes....all with achievements. I wasn't bombarded everywhere on my screen like swtor to "Buy this now!" At least LotrO has the courtesy of giving me the full UI without paying for anything
