SW:TOR a average game!

Well, Here's were I make alot of people happy and alot more angry. Just remember, This is my take on the game so far.

Alot of people have been saying this game is the WOW killer. LOL
I say they need to compair both games and you will see that this game is just another meduim grade game out to get it's followers just Like Warhammer, Aion and Rift. It is not the WOW killer (WOW is killing itself anyway!)

Yes I am going to compair the 2 even though one is a medevil game and the other is a space game, but both are MMOs.

I will compair SW:TOR to Vanilla WOW or WOW 7 years ago sense so many people think thats how it should be done (Even though in 7 years the tech for computers and gaming has changed to the max.)

This game starts with 4 newbie zones. WOW starts with 8. Thats double. As SW goes on we then go to the next few zones were all Republic/Imps now share 1 zone/planet for the next few lvls then both side share a zone/planet for the rest of the game. WOW has a zone for each class on both sides for awhile then it drops to 2 shared. Thats 4 times as many zones at it's lunch 7 years ago. Plus it had twice as many races and classes.

Really no difference in crafting. Honestly. Being able to tell 2 of your companions to craft or go on material missions is no big deal sense you have to stop and do it over and over.

Man problem: Everquest took 3-4 years to get to max lvl. Yes, that was to long but WOW made it so you could do it in 3 months then Aion, Rift and no SW:TOR you can do it in 9 days. Which means you get to endgame or the same ole same ole faster then before. Big mistake. It's the trip that counts not the destination. Like all games, the endgame is just PVP or Instances. Yawn!

Game has a huge amount of bugs. Never seen so many in WOW, Aion, Rift or Warhammer.


Bugs:
Companion wont follow you onto a lift or into a room. Despawns for no reason
Many, many graphical errors.
I love it when my Troopers ship leaves a space port, goes into space and it's 2 wings poop out, the ship jumps up like a spring which in space is not possable, the ships main body should not move and the wings should then fould up and down.. Thats just one of many mistakes I've seen.
You people getting tired yet of the ship launching when you enter it? Even when your just going to use your Holo? Way to much time wasted. They should have a LAUNCH button by the galatic map so we can launch when WE want to!
Have you people come across quest that are rated solo for your lvl or maybe your a few lvls above it yet the mobs kill you in seconds like there elite/heroic. Found over a dozens already and I have the best weapons/armor I can have for my lvl and my companion.

You people getting tired of the boring space rail shooter yet. I dont play it anymore. It's just to stupid. We need something more Like Jump to Lightspeed or Eve for are space combat and quest and group please!!!!!

How about that cheap galactic aution house LOL. You can't be very specific on what your looking for with it. Really bad.

You notice how we all have to do the same quest other then the class quest. When we only have one planet to all go to for certain lvls it gets boring fast. WOW has at least 4 zones for people to choose from with those zones own quest. Takes alot more time to get bored.

In the long run this game is the same stuff in a different box and they didn't even rap it as well as WOW did.

This game should be compaired to WOW today but it's less then 20% of vaniila WOW on its launch day.

I'll still play for awhile but I'm sure like most people that aren't Star Wars crazed, I'll be gone in acouple months.

Still waiting for that WOW killer but dont see anything on the Horizon yet!



Now, be nice when you post people. This is just one persons veiw and I will respect yours!

Part 1 -- WoW is also just an average game honestly. There was nothing really phenomenal about it except the rate that it got users into the game, with a company like Blizzard it was somewhat expected, but even they did not realize the game would be as popular as it is. The magic of WoW for a lot of people is that it was their first MMO, and for many even their first computer game. Look at how many people look back on Vanilla as the pinnacle of WoW, when in reality things were bugged, endgame was unbeatable a few times, (E.g. C'Thun pre-nerf), pacing was off (look at how short we had Naxx before we got TBC and even in TBC we were killing the end boss of the expansion (Illidan) 3 months in), and etc. WoWs primary staying power is the sheer number of people who play it, almost any gamer has a friend who plays or has played WoW. People know what WoW is (Make love not warcraft from South Park for example.) Things came together to form a perfect storm of MMO that will never happen again.

With that being said it was a fun game, it got old for me, I don't hate it so much as I hate the direction Blizzard is taking it in. People who play wow are fine in my book.

Part 1 tl;dr: WoW is average too, average is not a horrible thing (in my mind the average pc game is entertaining/fun but eventually loses its steam, great games are games like Tetris that stand the test of time.), no hate on WoW here.

Part 2 -- Spacebar through that launch cutscene dude, I got tired of seeing those after 1 time.

*EDIT -- also for the love of god fix the article in your title. That is one of my biggest pet peeves ever.

*EDIT 2 -- I re-read your post and must point out that you mention comparing vanilla to this and then you say wow has 8 starting zones. It gained 2 in TBC and 2 in Cataclysm. Did you play vanilla?

*EDIT 3 -- Everquest did not take years to get to max level. SMFH. (I quit that game when Luclin came out because with their texture/engine changes while pretty made zoning a 5 min ordeal.)

I am starting to doubt you played EITHER Vanilla WoW or EQ1 pre 2000.

Too many words. Can't understand.

What i'd like to know is, what is the current "non-average, ground breaking game" out right now...or coming out? People like to throw GW2 out there, but frankly, i've been playing games too long to believe any such hype.

lolwut?

You have some valid points.

What did you not understand? MMOs were not always the watered down, casual joke you are currently playing.

Hail, an Orc Centurions corpse!

OP: Not really a very constructive post at all about what improvements you would suggest, so expect it to be locked very soon.

Cheers.

Whoa that's a lot of "alots".
