This is basically the whole game - the most dead environments ever. Could you do a video of the Jedi Temple and how terrible it is?

@trulez Even when Ironforge/Thunderbluff/etc are empty the places have character, they feel and sound alive. Could you say the same for what you've seen so far in-game?

This is just not ok for an 2012 game. In what way has this game potential? I mean ofcourse mmo's can be buggy in the beginning, not showing it's full potential. These screens however... If you want to make something good out from these static uninspired worlds they need to redesign the whole frigging world... A bit like runescape does. That however is a totally different game. This game will eventually roll up as people stop playing it and better mmorpg's come up.

I was like ":|" the entire video.

@ThatDudeJCrash Once you get your hands on it you might have a totally different experience. Don't let others fully influence you.

Who knows? There might be other ways of trying out the game instead of buying it ^^

I'm anxiously waiting for GW2 too. But I have to keep it real and not expect a release date before May 2012. That's a lot of months I'm filling in doing something else.

@nblitz With GW 2 on the way? I don't know I really thought this game was going to keep my busy till then now, I'm thinking of not even picking it up. =/

@yatsuketa Yes, I think I can agree with it getting the short end of the stick. But I've mentioned why I think that is. I'll agree to disagree on that.

The world is watching TOR's next steps.

@nblitz hmm.. i can see where your coming from there, but id have to say that if it were a car comparison that it wouldn't be so much missing features, but rather trying different ones. yes swtor could have been a less buggy and a more advanced game, but that would have ment giving up the full voice over and story aspects of the game. the bugs will be fixed with time, the features people want will be added in time. i just think people are giving it the short stick right now for no real reason.

[yatsuketa]

@nblitz also it didn't break records because of its name, wow did that on release with its warcraft games backing it up, swtor did it because people saw the potential this game has. its rough around the edges right now yes, does that make it a bad game? no. swtor did things no other game has, and it did them well. the backlash im seeing is all from people without patience who want perfection on release and that's not realistic.. its ignorance of how MMO's work.

[nblitz]

@yatsuketa It's OK :) I respectfully disagree with your point of view.

I compare it to buying a brand new car. The car is missing features which are standard features nowadays.

I think most people would be fuming and demanding more because they don't want what they got as standard a few years ago. They want what's standard, today.

[yatsuketa]

@nblitz I disagree completely on both accounts. you can't compare a new release to a game that's had 7 years of fixing, that's like comparing a single episode of a new tv show to the entire family guy series, and then saying that because that first episode didn't beat the entire family guy series that the new tv show series completely sucks and will never amount to anything. be realistic, its not crappy, its unrefined, what people need to look at is its potential, and it has more then any MMO.

[nblitz]

@yatsuketa A 2012 title is competing with titles as they are in 2012!

Content can be excused but the rest cannot if it's lacking.

We get crappy MMORPGs because the developers and publishers know we'll gobble it all up obediently and this has to stop.

In a year TOR will be have been tossed aside and forgotten for whichever new toys we'll have to play with by then.

It broke records only because of the big names behind the title and the IP. Which is why you're witnessing the backlash you're seeing.
