tbh SWTOR had insane expectations and kinda did fall short. the game started with 800k players, which was insane at the time and plummeted hard after 1 month. it was and still is a good game tho but it also had shortcomings. ilum pretty much beeing so laggy and broken that they actually had to remove and redesign it as a pve planet f.e. companions beeing utterly broken in OWpvp etc. and lets be honest huttball was fun at first but after the 500th match it made you wanna jump off a cliff irl.
its not a bad game by any means and i wouldnt consider it a fail but it definitely didnt live up to its full potential either.
I mean we killed two servers at launch for swtor by camping the pvp planet you needed to go to for end game gear dailies. I think that is why they moved away from it
you dont use caps in english for anything other than at the start of a sentence or a name. also this is the internet. idgaf if you dont use caps or use abbreviations that are only known on the internet and not commonly used in the real world but when your post is so messed up that i have to read it 3 times and still cant be 100% sure what you actually meant i will ask you to rephrase it.
true i guess but i think if the engine was actually able to handle the zerg battles of ilum it could have worked out different. i spent most of my endgame time on ilum (away from the zerg area) and just ganked ppl doing the dailys all day so i guess i was kinda part of the problem but it was fun as hell.
I mean I had a great time. My company got to 60 first and were ahead. Republics couldnt do anything then all rerolled another server. After a day of only huttball vs ourselves we rerolled to another server. By the time we got to T2 pvp gear we were decimating the republics that had been there since launch whilst also camping ilum again. Then this server rerolled too lol
yea well… carebear themeparks… those ppl dont fight. they just run when it gets rough. First to the forum to cry and then to another server and eventually to another game.
And thus is what happened to SWTOR.
was a shame cos the game had insanely good story telling (maybe im bias cos i like SW) and surprisingly skill based pvp. the game could have made it big if they made it less of a themepark and more like SWG.
You just listed 3 of the most succesfull mmorpgs in recent history and every game on that list has held a spot in an major top 10 list over the last 10 years and have made bank, serious bank.
What you pvp focused griefers dont get is the PVE was the only thing keeping the game alive, the real pvp’rs left at the start to go back to their mobas because they saw right away NW is fake pvp, its just a body simulator for the 50 best players per server, thats all.
The game is dying now b/c the mutation update pushed out the last remaining pve’rs, now its a ghost town, enjoy.
