I though this was suppose to be a modern MMO?

YEa its very disjointed having one story quest voiced and the next not, hell some quests have half voiced and then all of a sudden switch to text only, SE don't have any excuses for this either it wouldn't be that expensive to voice the main story.

Let me help you out here. Voice acting is incredibly expensive. On top of that they'd be having to hire and record voice actors in 4 different languages at the moment. So expensive*4. Also, the sound files for the voice acting are absolutely massive. They are why SWTOR was a 20gig download at launch. It wouldn't have been inexpensive or easy for them to have done this.

Honestly, I'd much rather being playing this game now, like I currently am, rather than waiting months for a release with full VO for story quests. Plus, there are better things to complain about.

Voice acting is not that expensive. They could have at the least, gone out to Acting Studios or Schools and found students that would have probably done this for free. At the very least, these people would happily do this work just to add to the portfolio.

Now, on to the comment about better things to complain about. Yes, their are a lot of other Quality of Life issues that have been mentioned before in this forum. What does one thing have to do with another? It's a forum, I can complain about whatever I want.

It's actually not that expense unless you use well known actors, its a lot more expensive in Japan though because of the anime scene.
