Star Wars The Old Republic

     I played this game for quite awhile and I will have both gripes and good things to say on this game. When I first started playing this game with my brother we had a blast. The voice acting might not have been perfect but being able to choose between several options when deciding how to talk with/ deal with npc on quests was a great idea on the designers part. We went blasting and stabbing our way through the missions on every world, and even managed to do most of the heroics (special mission that usually take 2-4 people) by ourselves. We managed to get to 50 this way and I'll tell you now, that was the most fun we had with the game.
    
     This is where the stupid starts. The endgame content at the time we where playing was extremely hard to get into without a guild and more stress than fun most of the time when you did manage it. At this time in SWTOR it took 30 minutes to 4-5 hours to queue up for PVP also. So as it usually happens when it comes to MMO's we where forced to join a guild. Yeah I know, that's the point of an MMO pretty much isn't it. Well we hadn't had a great experience with our last guild so we weren't looking for a repeat so soon. Sure enough it wasn't a repeat, it was it's own unique pain in the @#$. Ego's and E-peens quickly turned what could have been a good time into a complaint filled, chest beating, blame shifting, dance of the idiots. Typical raid groups took 8 people and 2-3 in our group were completely unreliable. Of course this guild didn't last long and most of this raid group moved to another Guild. Things only got better for a little while when E-peens were whipped out again and ego's where hurt. This game suddenly became so much less fun. The content was still fine, new content was definitely not coming out fast enough but it wasn't too bad either. The community however had a way of even making the new content overly stressful.

     The graphics, while not the top of MMO's was easily close enough to appease the graphics snobs and could be played (if not perfectly and with lag)  on my laptop which is not optimal for online gaming. The voice acting as I said earlier was pretty good. The combat was decent if fairly WoW-esque.
    
     Overall this was a good game that was ruined for me by the community itself (at least on the Harbinger Server).
