5 lessons other MMOs should learn from Star Wars: The Old Republic

Other MMOs could learn a few things from Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Nice article, but I'm not sure I agree with the last point. I find the leveling speed to be a bit too fast. Every time I visit a new planet, I'm halfway through it's recommended level range and the mobs are generally quite easy to kill. I find myself skipping a lot of side quests now just so the planets are total ezmode by the time I get to them.

I know what you mean. I had a few cases where I'd just do the class story and leave the planet since quests were turning grey and it wasn't worth it any more to do the quests there.

I do wish they'd take a page from wow and allow you to queue for flashpoints. I never even did half of them since I leveled so fast doing class quests that the flashpoint quests / mobs in there were green or grey. That and the fact that with some flashpoints, it'd take forever to find a group in the first place so it was easier to just do the quests on the various planets to level up or get gear.

Love this game, but i can prob think of alot more than 5 lessons swtor can learn from other mmos.

Same old game, new IP and sugar coating. I lost interest in the game the moment I realized it was yet another WoW clone. Granted, the voice acting would really help and I'm sure there's much more polish, but at the end of the day, it's just not fun anymore to do the same stupid quests with the same boring battle system. I mean, come on! Two enemies just stand 5 feet from each other with no cover around and shoot at each other for 20 seconds, neither seemingly hurt until the last shot makes one fall down. How ridiculous is that?

I would very much like to play "eight KOTORs"...but I don't have the time for that!

I loved this game and have played since launch but don't let this article fool you, this game is a step above life support. While they are still technically updating the game, the updates are few and far between and there is a significant lack of quality control, so many little bugs that have been present for years.

The updates felt flimsy to me also. Stopped playing in 2021.

This game got a huge update last year didn't it with more content?

PapaBop401d ago

They promoted it as an expansion yet offered like 3-4 hours of content. The game is amazing and easily one of the best Star Wars games ever made but content drops are so few and far between.
