Meh. Played beta, played f2p when it started and played again early this year.
Unless you’re subscribed, the story ain’t worth the many artificial locks in gameplay.
Being a wow-clone was its only cardinal sin. In terms of gameplay, it didn’t try anything new except maybe ranged tanks.
Everything else was awesome — voice acting, dialogue choices, cutscenes shot just like Star Wars.
I wish it had been the Star Trek franchise that got this kind of respect.
Something that’s made shockingly unclear, for anyone who might be interested: you only need to have subscribed for a single month to have all the subscriber gated stuff unlocked.
I don’t really know how that’s a viable business model, but pay $14 or whatever, get all the expansions and inventory and whatnot unlocked, and then don’t worry about it until there’s another expansion you want.
It only took me ten years but I finally played through all classes. BH and Inq are my favs.
Heh, I started another playthrough last night myself.
Never really gone through the Republic storylines, so I guess I’ve got a bit of game time ahead of me…
