One of the easy ways to get credits is PvP and space mission dailies, but they give you a ton of XP so you quickly outlevel whatever planet you were working on. You also outlevel the flashpoints quickly if you don't specifically stop your progress to try them out before they become useless.

Once you hit Voss, you'll love PvP. Because you need it. I entered Voss at level 43. I exited at level 44, having completed every single quest there. That one planet is supposed to last me until 47... Without PvP, I'd be screwed.
 
Wife and I had a blast in Balmorra, but early last week we went to Nar Shaddaa, and that planet is approximately zero fun. I mean, we want to complete the class quests and what not, but the quests take about 2 minutes and then it's 5 minutes across the map for a turnin. There's not a lot of enemies, everything is really spread out, etc....I'm pretty disappointed after how awesome Balmorra was. Gonna probably try and get through the rest of it...or at least a big chunk, tonight.

Got a bit more palatable once I got my speeder though. Won't be going back there anytime soon...

Nar Shaddaa is more spread out than Balmorra? :confused: Are you doing the quests out of order or something?
 
don't quit this game until you do an eternity vault run/raid

fascinating mechanics in there

i was getting close to quitting out of boredom but eternity vault saved the day...well, at least postponed it...makes future planned instances look extremely promising

ymmv

I'm trying to fathom this as well. While NS may not be my favorite area in the game, and it doesn't really have the same epic feel some of the other worlds do, there are a ton of missions there and areas planted thick with enemies to fight.

Heck you get sent back there once you're done with it for even more stuff to do later on.

I still think it feels like a ME level, but I was never short on things to do there or stuff to kill.

When I say more spread out, I don't mean it in a sense of the world being bigger or anything. I mean it like.....there's 1, maybe 2 quests somewhere, and then you have to fly across the map to get another 1-2 quests for another area, then fly to a new place, etc. At least in Balmorra there was 4-5 quests / mission boards / whatever in the same area, and at least two of those usually had follow up quests.

Limahl kinda nailed it with "it doesn't really have the same epic feel some of the other worlds do." That's exactly how I feel. Of course, coming from 5+ years of WoW, a non-instanced indoor level seems odd to begin with.

That's how both worlds were for my characters that have been there (Sith Jugg and Jedi Knight). I'd generally go to an area, have 3-8 quests, finish them, and never have to go back once I've moved on. I'm wondering if certain character's quests mix it up (too much). For instance, I never had to fly out to the casino for my missions, which I imagine would be a pain.

I agree, but I think it's intended to be this seedy, Las Vegas-like trading hub. I think they need to instance more people in the same area though, as the Promenade should be swarming with Republic and Empire alike.

IGN reviewed the game and it scored a 9.0! Nice stuff.

Excellent :cool:
 
I am having a blast. This is the first MMO I read quest texts (even if I don't always hear the full dialogue), that I don't read quest guides, that I don't look for loot online, or boss mechanics. I just immerse myself and have a blast. At least it is that way with the bounty hunter, which is a ton more fun than the jedi consular I tried at beta.

I'm playing a Sith Marauder and my wife is playing a Sith Sorcerer. We've both been having this problem. Maybe it gets better later in the zone? We've only been on NS for roughly a level at this point. We're planning on playing tonight for quite a while, so hopefully it either gets better or we finish the zone...

Yeah....once upon a time, IGN's reviews could be trusted. If a game got an 8.5+, it was REALLY a good game - they never gave out scores that high.

Now they give out a 9+ to anybody who pays them.
 
So just a heads up

Don't get on a friends ship and travel with them to one of their space-station missions. You will get stuck there, and you will not be able to leave. I'm currently sitting on a space-station that I can't enter and can't leave (I'm confined to a hallway). I'm waiting for a war zone to pop up so I can just be booted back to the fleet for not doing anything since I used my fleet pass about an hour ago :(

argh
 
god dammit motherfucker shit fuck

I finally get out of that fucking space station after waiting for a fucking war zone for two hours .. I hit level 50, and go to finish my fucking story and the piece of shit is bugged and I can't complete or reset it


fucking dammit what the balls
 
So I just hopped on this game 2 days ago - already to level 10 with a Commando. It's pretty cool so far, I just feel like everything is blatantly ripped off of WoW. I'm playing a Star Wars version of WoW with quests that are like Mass Effect.

I mean it's cool, and I'll probably end up switching permanently because WoW is losing its luster, but man.

actually.. what your experiencing is MMO. each new MMO builds on the good stuff of previous MMO's. WoW riped of EQ, etc...

I think people just expect a little more difference when jumping into another MMO. For most people WoW was their first and only, so jumping into another MMO and seeing levels, quests, hotkey style combat, instances, raids, battlegrounds, the holy trinity, etc, everything seems oh so familiar.

Hopefully game developers will steadily become more adventurous, and start to break the mold more and more.

Hoth, Quesh, Belsavis, Voss, Corellia, and now Ilum -- I've been completely alone. My server is dead. I can't even do the Ilum dailies because no one else is around to make everything imperial controlled lol.

Also, even if it was a populated server, they instance all the planets..

This is a single player game with the option to have co-op. Not a true MMO.

The game's barely three weeks old and you're already in the high 40s maybe even 50 now. You want to find people go to Tatooine, Nar Shadaa, or Alderaan. My server is always either full or heavy.
 
I think you're suffering from first to 50 syndrome. For example the server I play on was completely dead until my nephew decided to play the reroll game over and over. Now I can't find a single lockbox to open on Balmorra. If I ask in General chat for two more players for Heroic +4's I get five or six whispers.

A bunch of these people I have met admit to having level 50's that they just "spacebarred" the content with. They are so surprised that my nephew and I actually watch the videos and care to pick useful responses that they are floored. They refuse to leave our group for eight hour marathons if that's any indication to how dedicated they are to the game. I guess they are finally getting their money's worth.

I haven't touched the pvp in the game aside from some early matches on my old Sith Sorcerer. Not because I didn't like it; pvp is more of an addiction for me. And since I refuse to fight low level mobs, I don't want to inflate my level through pvp and then be presented with zero challenge in the game. Yes, I'm weird that way.

I've never seen coruscant or the republic fleet climb above 20 people during prime time. My server is actually dead.

My server is almost always "light". I've seen it go to "standard" once. I rolled on it at 2am when most servers were "standard". Major mistake.

Either way, the game is so HOAR that I would hardly consider it an MMO. It's like a semi-MMO :p

I've been considering a re-roll .. I might have to figuring come tuesday I won't be able to find a warzone since I'll be locked into the 50 bracket (which is a good thing, just sucks that my server is essentially dead)
 
Oh well. Unfortunate that there's low-pop servers at such an early stage of the game, but can't do much about it :(

The copying is fine, but it's been how many years/decades copying the same concepts? There's definitely many differences amongst different MMOs and other genres in how the designers have modified the existing concepts, some of these differences are improvements for some, and vice versa. Though I feel the entire gaming genre is moving a little slowly. I think we would have had enough time to push further into change than we have so far. Yet, hotkey ability calculated rotation combat is still here in it's original glory :p

However, I think a lot of it has to do with funding. There's greater safety in recreating an already proven concept that's shown to have made a profit in the past. After the success of WoW, it'd be hard for a publisher to not want to try to recreate that success, with their own nifty features (rifts, single-player experience, etc) that they'll use to try to draw players away from the competition.

the idea of some ever advancing gameplay experience is a myth I think


There is such a thing as an optimal design, and many mmos today in their maturity are coalescing around what works better. No one complains about the basic shape of a chair and how it has not advanced much, maybe more padding, but lets say some ultra expensive ergonomic chair changes the game for comfort, what then?

How many tweaks can be made to something before it is as good as its going to get?

What about good shows/movies/books?

Certain types of narrative are fine tuned and produce better results, I don't want to hear the epic tale of a song of ice and fire told in limerick form. That would be sub optimal. And so it is with mmos.


That is not to say there is no room for improvement. I could imagine even more character interaction. More varied locales and mechanics. maybe a more free form ability selection like an action game vs set moves. But then we bump into the limitations of the damn human animal with our finite reflexes and fingers. I am getting too far afield now, but I swear there is a point in these ramblings somewhere.
 
From personal experience, all I can say is over the past 2 decades of playing MMOs, I got tired of them. I love the genre to death, but there just hasn't been enough improvement or innovation in the field to keep my interest. Right now I stick to MMOs that have their major focus on multiplayer and server community as the people you meet and the communities that form is enough to keep me interested. Unfortunately developers seem to be heading away from that direction with dungeon queues, PvP queues, entirety of the leveling experience being soloable, little reason for world PvP or even disincentivizing it, etc. However, that's on the western front. There's actually quite a number of Asian MMOs that I still actively play and find them quite enjoyable simply due to the atmosphere.

Oh well, personal experience is personal. :p
