I logged on for the first time and made a hunter warewolf and began my questing, and could not believe how dull it was up to level 10. There's no voice overs and its an absolute guess where to go for questing. I'm not ************ at it because it is a 7 year old game but the fact that people are comparing these two games is really surprising me, if people just overlook there addiction they had to the game and actually compared the two, SWTOR wins hands down. So Bioware you will be seeing a lot more of me on your game
Are you sure you leveled two toons already? Because on my second run through TOR I was already spacebar'ing through everything. Hell even my first time around I was like "/sigh ... I dont care! *spacebar* *spacebar* *spacebar*" a lot of the time.

Once TOR stabilizes, removes all or their *facepalm* bugs, and catches up on features ... itll be a great competitor. Story and VO is great and its definitely winning on its presentation because of it but for the most part, TOR's success is riding on the IP.

P.S There is a quest log in WoW, dont know why you had to 'guess' anything.

I've been bored of WoW for years, but to say SWToR is a better game is like saying Twilight is a better written, more sopisticated series of books than LOTR....

That metaphore can be applied to their prospective demographs too...


Not that I expect most of the people around here to agree with me...
But I simply just couldn't live with myself if I didn't stick up and say how laughably wrong this ********** is. Even Bioware Devs know this.

Leveling process: Winner = SWTOR

End game: Winner = WoW


BioWare should've focused more on endgame, instead of the leveling process.
"You will do it with me" ~ Damn, how I wished force persuade was real.

The only reason why SWTOR was developed is due to WoW and the other plethora of MMOs trying to steal the slice of the WoW pie. Blizzard recognized a fairly vacant market with a lot of potential and capitalized on it.
This 100%, well said. For me iit was the opposite, SWTOR made me enjoy WoW even more. I had quit WoW and went back to it because of this game and even got the annual pass, which says a lot imo. And the sad thing is, I was dearly looking for a game to kill WoW for me personally, and a poorly copied SWTOR just isn't it I do sometimes have fun with this game though on those days when WoW gets "bleh" for me.

As for the OP, you're going to judge a whole game based on the first 10 levels of your "warewolf" (worgen?) hunter? Just an FYI, your big map in the game will tell you where to go to complete quests. If voice overs keep you playing an MMO, well, I have nothing to say really.

Point being that some people see leveling as a main part of a game and would like to enjoy it and also to see some sort of effort by the devs to balance this part of the game too. These people should rather not play WoW, but SWTOR.
Other people believe that leveling is something tedious that has to be done as fast as possible in order to reach max level. These people are not bothered whether the game is balanced outside max level and do not even see a point in balancing anything other than max level. These people should be happy with the situation in WoW.

Yes, I'm happy that devs in WoW worry more about endgame balancing instead of leveling balance. That's exactly what 'leveling' means! When all classes reach the same/similar point and can perform their job in an equal fashion. Also, it sounds pretty dumb to me to focus on the content you do while leveling. Say you play this game for 5 years, how long do you think you'll have spent leveling your characters, and how much doing endgame content? In 5 years, which one will matter the most?

WoW and SWTOR cannot even be compared at this point regarding quality, SWTOR wins the comparison hands down, much better game overall and i enjoy playing it.

What's even better is the fact the SWTOR is a young game with ton of potential for future updates, content, fixes etc. so it can and will only get better.

I agree with you.. but that is just our opinions. This shows wow and swtor are in fact different games and one is not the clone of the other.

That if the gaming market wasn't as unforgiving as it is. You dont get second chances that often, and the way I see it SWTOR wasted their first already.

Exactly true.
