Secondly I think macro's can be overdone and can be done right.. neither of which SW has going for it. I agree that taking it to the point where having to only mash 1 or 2 buttons is a bit much however.. because of the problems with the UI I have nearly three full bars that even my gamepad cant help with. Skill? Sure I have it, but the UI, lack of Macro's, and the complete lack of any ability to customize my playing ability is just horrid in SW.Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892057576938725170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480610702364891387.post-3675303789688765552012-01-31T16:04:23.827-06:002012-01-31T16:04:23.827-06:00First, I'd just like to say I think you misuse...First, I'd just like to say I think you misused the term "albatross" in this entry. <br /><br />SWToR is trying to make the game better, hence the many patches, most of which do not last as long as they schedule them for. <br /><br />The interface could use some tweaking I agree, however the look of it is supposed to give a "Star Wars" feel. I think it does this. <br /><br />As for the lack of macros, I personally enjoy it. Being able to succeed without them shows more talent than someone that has to rely on them. The over-use of them is one reason I have left other games before. <br /><br />Touching on multi/respec issues, again I find this a pleasing change, reminds me of old school EQ. You picked a class and you stuck with it. Got good at it, and when you used AA points, they were gone. Makes you have to think about what you are doing. Also makes you have to think about who you are letting in your guild. You can't just have your friend switch specs, no you might need to fill a spot that you are short on, gives other people a fighting chance to get into a good guild and show some skill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480610702364891387.post-5939173186986260752012-01-30T22:49:22.952-06:002012-01-30T22:49:22.952-06:00Unfinished is an understatement. 50 Tank and I can...Unfinished is an understatement. 50 Tank and I can only hold aggro on single targets at a time.

It has been a long time since I have felt completley cheated for something I've purchased and I can't believe that it was a BioWare game that did it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1480610702364891387.post-52970335410673786252012-01-28T23:35:16.643-06:002012-01-28T23:35:16.643-06:00Yea... hit 50 today and ... pvp is a joke.. farmin...Yea... hit 50 today and ... pvp is a joke.. farming is so spread out its stupid.. to many repeatable quests are for groups.

The public needs to know that other games are available (whether they be good or bad).<br /><br />It's better for the players, it's better for the sites, and, in general, it's better for the industry, as it provides a better competitive dynamic between game studios.<br /><br />Where that the case, I doubt BW would have had the guts to go through with their ToR UI at release, to say the least.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
