PvP is already instanced. Not having X-server makes no sense if you're going to instance it in the first place.

It's a complete joke to suggest that TOR is doing more innovation than MW3 or BF3. Zero is not greater than zero. This game has taken multiple steps backward. It's behind a game that's 7 years old.

Posting a summary after I finish listening.

Um, what? The only way I see being able to "control your avatar" in TOR and WoW is by pressing movement buttons and giving attack/ability commands. So maybe you can enlighten me as to what you're trying to talk suggest here, though I'm fairly certain you're just full of hot air.

The **** are you on about, bud? WoW has fantastic animations. In fact, there are many instances in TOR where the animations aren't dynamic such as moving and using the AoE spin that Shadows get. (It plays a stationary animation - your feet glide along the ground like ghost dog ).

Very true. This is one of the more subtle reasons why this game feels like a dead-boring singleplayer game. On top of the rampant instancing, the zones are linear and in many of them the zone itself is split into 4-5 mini-zones (Coruscant, Nar Shadda). These combine to create the ultimate single player experience... in an MMORPG.

I'm cracking up just imagining this.

Turn TOR into the best MMORPG of the decade? Not even possible.

Best post in this thread.

Yeah *********** right. Instancing the main game world in MMOs is the single worst thing you can do for a game; this even includes having main servers with too little population (servers are a kind of instancing). Every triple A MMO since WoW has been criticized for its lack of a seamless world. AoC, WAR they all looked like shadows of the MMORPG world that WoW had. TOR is instanced worse than all of them. You honestly think people play MMOs so that they can play by themselves? Or are you saying that if you cut the population in half it magically causes people to stop being jerks about taking mob kills? The reason the game is instanced to hell is the same reason most people see massive drops in performance with a measly 10-20 people on screen in a Warzone. The game cannot run with multiple players on screen. It's not an MMO.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (5) Q, E, R, T, F, G, Z, X, C, V, B (16) Shift+ .... (27) 27 Total hotkeys right there and you can hit them all if you were 3 years old while keeping "w" depressed. Welcome to MMOs.

Back in my day when you pressed a button to cast a spell your character casted the spell.

Lmfao. That's essentially the dichotomy of these forums: there are those that want a good game instead of a bad one and those that think all of the issues aren't issues and want everyone to stop telling them there's things wrong with the game.

Ability delay is exacerbated by more active players. With the exception of the bugs involving abilities off the GCD, this game actually runs flawless in single-player PvE. Step into a Warzone and the GCD actually almost finishes ticking down on the UI before the ability activates. Don't worry, though, sweetheart - just keep typing emoticons and fanboying for this game. You're only helping BW justify keeping it bad.
