WOW really made me appreciate SWTOR

That is a good point I had not though of earlier. The dungeons in WoW were tied to the land and story while leveling. Almost every one as a matter of fact. None of the flashpoints have anything to do with the leveling planets, but the heroics do.

It did make deadmines and wailing carverns more interesting.

This.

The game sucks, folks. The arguments against it are both profound and coherent. Those in support of it as a rule fall into one of two categories: A) it is new, give it time! or B) IT'SSTARWARSSOIT'SSOGOODOMGAWDZ.

TOR feels like it is held together with spit and bailing wire. The engine is bad, the game world is dead, and the few remaining denizens cluster together in the fleet like it's some concrete bunker holding back the armageddon beyond.

I hate to say this, but I'm going back to WoW. I didn't think I'd ever do that, but the simple fact of that matter is that, even after 7 years, that's a better game than this is.

Lol if you payed attention the flashpoints do tie into the story take the essles(sp) for example, you need to board the ship so you can get to coruscant.. and if you were paying attention to the dialogue in the intro(quest giver) the leader usually tells you why you need to do this, it's more connected to the greater conflict in the galaxy. And I guess you havent done false emperor or battle for ilum.

I actually have more to do in this game at end game then WOW.... I currently sit around towns in WoW bored as hell because there's nothing to do, I've maxed every prof atleast once, Raids are easy as hell and Blizzard is hell bent on making them even easier with their % nerfs

Also I disagree with the customer service. They do talk to you in SW:TOR. Problem is most people place tickets that the CSR can't help with. I don't need them wasting their time trying to cuddle me because I had a boo boo. If I report a bug I do NOT need them responding to me unless they want more detail surrounding it which I already do by e-mailing them with screenshots of the event to supplement my ticket.

So SWTOR brought me to mmo's it was my first. After a month and a half I had two level 50's and was stumped with what to do next. I was frustrated at lack of content at the end of the game and lack of pvp at times. So I decided to try World of Warcraft as everyone bangs on about how good it is or was or whatever. 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

Yeah but it doesn't tie in to any other part of the story. When I think of trying to tell a story through a game I think of it having a beginning, a middle, and an end, told through a chain of quests. So you start small, investigating some problem in the area, which uncovers a bigger plot or threat, and you follow the trail completing other quests, learning more, until eventually you discover the Terrible Secret and you have to go into the enemy's lair to defeat the source of the problem.



These are like the only FPs in SWTOR where the story starts outside the instance. Every other FP is a self-contained story unrelated to the rest of the planet storylines. A droid in fleet says "hey go board this shuttle" and you do, and then the story starts and ends in the FP.
