Played WoW after SWTOR: My Reactions

I like SWTOR and WoW.

Apparently it's rare.

At the end of the day, the only MMO that has managed to grip me in many a year is TOR. This is entirely due to the persistent voicing throughout and due to the storylines - and of course the excellent voice acting talent that they employed. It's wall to wall pros so you're not (often) yanked out of the suspension of disbelief by some cheesy nonsense. The story and the cutscenes you actually care about is what lifts the game above the others, in my opinion.

It's both a strength and a weakness, because after the storylines are done there had better be more storyline or else I will be moving on. I've been through the planets several times already and it's getting to be rather dull, and I'm down to doing just the main planet quest and the class quest. It's just a shame I can't do all the questing with three other people, that would be awesome. Just not practical though.

But I do know that I won't be moving to another MMO unless they can make it just as involving. Getting some text-based snippet telling me to go kill 10 rats has no meaning to it whatsoever, and neither does the notion of grinding the same stuff over and over in the endgame in order to get gear so you can grind better.

I have to agree with the OP. While wow does run smoother, the combat is just to simple and dull.

Wow's content is also stupidly easy compared to how it was. I used to progression raid heroic 25 man in WOW and we had a harder time clearing hard mode Lost Island than 99% of the heroic raid bosses in wow.

It feels like over the last 1+ years wow has been re-modeled to suit kids or first time gamers tbh.

It's strange, I have the marked impression that TOR actual content is not much harder than WoW.

LOL that was the best response to TERA I've ever read. I made it like 10 seconds into the video.

Not all MMO's, just a lot of them.

EVE Online

You what? You have to be awake in Eve? That's possibly the slowest game there is :P

I don't know what to say really.. I'm stunned, I mean I knew it looked like that but that is just... I guess you have to be some kind of anime/furry/pedo fan to appreciate the art style

I have to agree with you here. Many people also don't realize that you can happily play a few MMOs and be.......well.....happy. I enjoyed WoW for the few years I played it. Blizzard did great things with the game and I'm sure they will continue to do good things with the Pandas. I loved my time in WoW and the only reason why I left it several times was the community and getting a tad bit bored at max level. Also the demise of my guild due to real life dramas didn't help.

I did get a chance to play around with GW2 this weekend. I really enjoyed my game experiece but I have to admit that after playing SWTOR and seeing the amazing stories, GW2 felt a bit meh to me. Nevertheless, it will be a game that I play between my SWTOR fixes. When I get tired of doing my dailies, I will pop over to GW2 and enjoy myself. I really loved the events and seeing so many players out in the world all working on an area quest. Reminded me of the early days of Rift which I also enjoyed. No harm in enjoying a couple of games.

I don't mine, gatecamp or get involved with sov warfare, so I really can't speak for that. I can generally find a good fight with in 10 mins of logging on & you do have to be awake for those.
