I subscribed to this game for about a year, and pushed my character well into the endgame (which, like all MMOs, turns into a dungeon running grindfest. Other posters have waxed eloquent on this and the specific limitations, so go read about that crap there. It's designed to make you ragequit or ragebuy. Poor customization without buying additional appearance packs (hairs, races etc)įinal thoughts: its a must try for newbies looking for good stories and star wars fans with good atmosphere and galaxy, but lacking of many things that others MMO's has isnt calling to stay for long.įirst off, don't even bother trying to go f2p on this game. Very reapetitive and boring quests/operations
Free-to-play mode is just a feeling of "getting stabbed in the back" Very good storylines (for story fans I would recommend reading Knights of the Old Republic comics and play RPG by the same name, before playing TOR)
Introduction: I have been playing this game since beta mode becasue I was an insane fan of Star Wars (I still love it but not that much when I was a kid) and this game quite changed through many patches expansions but latest expansion gave insane system core improvements, crafting changes etc, that I could talk about for hours, but some points still ruins/highs up the game so here we are: If you cannot afford the previous two, at the very end (level 50-55) You find yourself indefinitely in limbo - you cannot progress to the more difficult missions available at your level due to lack of purchased equipment. The most challenging missions with the biggest rewards require equipment purchased with real money. Newest content requires purchase of expansion packs and subscription status. Companions have great personality and strange quirks. If you do, you can progress up to level 70. You can play up to level 55, and from there you cannot progress any further without producing money and paying for extra levels and story content (and equipment). Your choices at the battle of Corellia make or break your legacy at the end. When you look back at each class storyline, at first it seems as if the content has huge variety, but once you get to a certain point - such as the planet Corellia, around levels 47-50 for Republic characters, you realize nothing before truly mattered, aside from gaining lightside/darkside points or affinity with a favored NPC companion.
Thoroughly enjoyable content across multiple planets. I've played this for a long time, and this is a great addition to the scifi mmo community. A F2P player can only participate in 5 battlegrounds and can only gain loot from the bosses in the first 3 dungeons they attempt every week players are also restricted from doing any Raids as a completely F2P player. Players will also gain access to a class specific ship, which allows players to travel in between planets and engage in space combat missions.Īs a Free-to-Play player, some restrictions are present when attempting PvE dungeons/raids and PvP battlegrounds. These companions come with detailed armor sets, unique abilities and personal stories that progress alongside the players. SWTOR takes place 3000 years before the films, and allows players to become Jedi, Sith, Bounty Hunters, Troopers, and other iconic classes! Each class features a custom storyline, complete with fully voice acted dialogue and dynamic questions that allow players to make meaningful choices that impact their own personal story.Īs players progress they will meet a variety of class specific companions, each with their own special traits and behavior.
Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR) is a free to play 3D Sci-Fi MMORPG based on the popular Star Wars universe.
