I'm playing less purely because of University Submissions coming up soon.

@SteamPunkJin: I got about halfway through the character creation before I gave up. To be fair, half the reason was because the mouse wasn't working and I couldn't get past some of the menus...

My Story is keeping me engaged and I'm having fun with my classes rotations. Been avoiding some of the Heroics and Flashpoints purely until I find a good guild because PUGS haven't gone well yet, but I'm far from getting bored with it.

Guys, take off the Rose Tinted Glasses. The combat in KotOR was dire and honestly, not that far off MMO combat in the first place.

This exactly. Go try to play KotOR now. The combat is terrible.

Comparing the game to such and old one is unfair. I'm not saying Kotor is more fun to play then ToR, but if they had made Kotor 3 today it would not be with that engine again.

Like DA:O was a new take on the Balder's gate formula (Let's not speak of 2) If they had tried I bet they could have done something similar to the Kotor combat formula.

I see what you're saying but I really don't think that's relevent.

From what I played (and loved, for the record) of DA:O the combat was a giant pull for me because it felt like Neverwinter Nights. It didn't feel "new and updated," it felt familiar and refined. It was a good system that I enjoyed using then and I liked that they had the guts to implement it in a newer game.

As for KotOR, I never finished it when I played it. I gave up on Tatooine because I despised the combat. I found it boring, dull, repetitive and not fun in any way. I know people like it and claim it to be the best Star Wars game out there, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. I've picked it up on PC (thanks to the Steam sale) and I do plan on finishing it at least once, but I know that the combat isn't going to be something I'll enjoy about it.

Also: Why not compare it to today's standards? Things are getting better. People let their nostalgia cloud their memories way too much these days. Things weren't always better. A lot of the changes we have today have been for the better, and tend to be the ones we forget about.

@devilzrule27: Getting responses that say "We're aware of the issue" won't help. Bugging them constantly won't get it fixed faster.

It wasn't discovered because it worked in Beta. It seems to be quite temperamental. Keep going back to Cantinas and your ship and you'll come across them eventually.

I've sent more than one ticket about it and they do know about the issue.

A good tip would be to right click on them when the icon appears. If they say they want to talk, go do it. If they don't just ignore it and move on.

It's frustrating and annoying, but it's something we have to deal with for the time being. It's been better than it has been, but it's still something that we'll need to wait for them to properly fix.

As good as it is, it's been out less than 2 weeks. People have only been able to play the full "release" build for around 3 weeks. It's an MMO, no one's had enough time to review it let alone give it GOTY.

Rooster Teeth justified them giving it GOTY because the people who were actively playing it had been all year. Sure it wasn't final, but if they loved the game befor ethey improved it, why not? It's also not exactly "official" awards...who cares?

APB.

Level 31 Sith Juggernaut here. Tanking is fun, damage can get soaked up with the numerous damage reducing abilities you have, though you can do a fair amount of damage. Companions so far are useful too.

Story-wise? I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's very interesting and it's keeping me hooked.
