#STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC PC PLAYER COUNT PATCH#
This game, from its launch, to this date, struggles to be a unique patch between Single Player Role-Playing Games and Massively Multiplayer Online Games, with a Star Wars logo on top of all that. During the very first cutscene, as I was picking Convo choices, I thought to myself, “This is gonna be good.”- Lorhin December 31, 2021 I remember when I rolled my very first toon, a female smuggler.

It doesn’t have a normal MMO playerbase and population. And, of course, there were players, who shared their disappointment with the 7.0 Combat Styles and/or previous big changes that put them off SWTOR for good. Some told me about short breaks they took here and there, others stuck with the game throughout all of its good and bad moments over the years. I am not the most active person on Twitter or Facebook and the excerpt that I got with opinions is too small, yet it was astounding to hear from so many veterans, who have been, like me, with the game since Day One or even from Betas. I think the decline started shortly after the release of Shadow of Revan, the 3.0 expansion.

SWTOR struggles with new content for many years now. I’ve seen friends of mine come and go, bored with the lack of content and diversity in the game. I didn’t think that this would be the prevailing opinion in the whole community. I did not expect the prevailing answers to be “I play since 2011/2 and will continue to until they shut it off or a successor is released”.īeing with this game since before its launch in 2011 I have made it a mission to remain loyal and continue to enjoy it until it shuts off. I’ve been taking notes of who talks about 7.0 on Reddit and the SWTOR Forums as well for the past few months. Yesterday I posted on Twitter and Facebook a two-question message asking my followers for how long have they been playing the game and if they plan to play SWTOR in 2022 and why. I know that for many of you it will already be 2022 when you read this, but I thought I’d send off 2021 with an article sharing some interesting insights and discoveries I made with the help of the SWTOR community recently. It’s the early afternoon of December 31st, 2021. A ten should only be given to a game that cures terminally ill children and creates a bridge to Valhalla.I’ve been gathering insights on who will play SWTOR in 2022 and why since the 7.0 announcement and the prevailing answers surprise me! A zero through three should only be given to a thoroughly broken game, not because the game designers made a perfectly acceptable design decision that you didn't like. As with every MMO ever, pug tanks will make you want to perform seppuku. I would highly recommend a guild for grouping and endgames.

I justify a score of 7 because I was thoroughly entertained for my first play through and I am regularly raiding with my guild. The hyperbole of the reviews and the flimsy justifications for the extreme positions are not entertaining nor a good guide to whether or not anyone should purchase a game, which I think should be the most useful thing about them. After reading some of the reviews here and on Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, I think I will be avoiding 'User reviews' on Metacritic from here on. A pure Tank class that doesn't have effective mob gathering skills? Not a good idea.) The story is very well done, but becomes tedious on subsequent play through. Negatives: Some of the class design choices went too far trying to differentiate from accepted 'trinity' ability distribution (a stealth healer with DPS? kind of OP. Positives: SW:TOR is a fine MMO offering that had a smooth launch but inadequate endgame, which is about as much as you can hope for from a Positives: SW:TOR is a fine MMO offering that had a smooth launch but inadequate endgame, which is about as much as you can hope for from a modern MMO.
