The story is great, but it blatantly gets in the way of the rest of the game

[MiaShino]

Something that's advertised as being story heavy, though? Why would it be the same? I haven't played SWtOR since finishing TET, but you have to go through the entire story (starting with your class questline, which eventually moves into the expansions). Level skips are an option on their own store, but you can't just pick and choose the stories you want to do. Might have changed since I stopped playing, so if it has, fair enough.

Swtor story is not mandatory at'all, nope. All one must do to access end game content is unlock their ship and make it to the fleet. Once there you can do the flashpoint stuffs or even endgame ops. Completed Gods of the Machine on Sithy alt after speedrunning to my ship. May take roughly thirty minutes for accomplishing this.

Also, it most certainly does not take months to get to EW. Hyperbole much? I suppose it could if you play a few minutes a day, but that's a bit much to claim.

Two or more weeks perhaps if are willing to "no-life it" as friends sometimes say. Highly not recommended if you are already experiencing the burnout as this is likely to make you quit.

The one thing we agree on (and I have said this multiple times in the past in other threads) is the Titan questline in the level 30 range. That's just it, though; you're supposed to be fed up with these people. Hell, Y'stola wasn't happy with the Company of Heroes' nonsense and them wasting time while Titan could be potentially running amok, causing damage. Personally, I wanted to slap all of them.

Thank the twelve yet again that they pruned that quest chain. First near I quit moment occurred right there. Much much better ways to evoke emotion in the player that doth not involve forcing them to actually live it. As uncle said when playing this; Who's on first is a funny joke. It would not be so funny to actually experience it.

Doubly so to MiaShino claiming "cult" behavior to deflect criticism of their criticism. While I strongly disagree with Faafetais' claims, she/he is at least trying to engage in discussion. All you've proven is you aren't worth talking to.

If you are going to shove words down my throat and misinterpret things I have said at the least take me out to dinner first. The least people could do is read my damn posts before hyper projecting into the sunset for the love of the twelve. I attempted engaging in cordial discussion until I hit my post limit but replies like this do little to make me wish to continue being cordial. Yall act culty sometimes. That is my opinion do with it what you will. Telling people to alter their mindset to enjoy something they clearly are not is.. creepy. Many apologies if that ruffles the jimmies? Amusing though how of alllll the things you could have replied to that I posted you chose that. Huh.

No one even replied to my last two posts. I cannot deflect what is never sent. Still waiting for someone to answer perhaps one of the questions I posited. Gods if I were paid in number of times someone assumed something about me on these forums I would also own one entire ward.

If anyone is willing to engage in something that is not intellectual equivalent of e-peen waving and does not reek of short guy syndrome then this Mia is willing. If not then this is where I respectfully disengage. Said most of what I wished too anyways and I agree with OP.

This is just my personal feelings. It is the reason being forced to do the titan grind a second time in ivalice and again to unlock the new game plus will never be done. I am not a monkey and I will not dance. Sorry. Some of it is not good.

Wait wait, wait one moment here. Are you telling me the series of fetch quests issued by the Wandering Derpathurge was not peak fricken story telling!

True highlights of Haukke grind where; Go to Meffrid > Now Aedoc > Now Charline > Now Meffrid > now Aedoc > now Meffrid > Now Charline > now Meffrid again > okay now go find guy who did not take medicine (that you were forced to gather the ingredients for). Wait what were we doing again? I thought we were hunting the masked man. Ohhh oh right this is setup for something that happens several story arcs later. Gotta say, peak fricken writing on this one.

Comes soooo late into the story that reveal about who you were delivering medicine too that you likely forgot amidst the myriad of sub plots.

Fricken Arcanist quest quite literally makes you dance in front of someone/chest four separate times. First bout of dancing occurs at Fools Falls.
