Played WoW after SWTOR: My Reactions

TERA is garbage. I was just in the GW2 beta and it was amazing. tor and wow are both dull atleast to me.

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

It funny how opinions can be on complete opposite ends from the same game. A buddy and I tried GW2 this weekend and it was garbage. Nothing but spamming keys and horrible server performance. Lets just say Star Wars and even World of Warcraft have nothing to worry about. I felt like there was no direction in Guild Wars and no sense as to why I was doing something.

I will remain a paying customer with Bioware.

I logged in to wow the other day and my guildmates were like "Hey man where u been"

I said SWTOR and they were like "lol, I heard that game had no content" Thats when I pointed out that they have all been grinding out the same easy mode dungeon for 5 months with ZERO changes in game... They got quiet.

WoW is dead... To me.

SWTOR is not.

Stop worrying about how many people are playing a game and worry about how you think of it. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. Some people love olives, I hate them, that doesn't make them bad or good. I just dont like them.

Obviously not as your still here, if you leave someone will take your place as has been shown when that investment company tried to say it was dieing and DE came out and told them it wasnt, now its illegal for DE to say that unless its fact as that influences share prices.

So the only mmo out of the 2 loosing subs in the millions is wow, not swtor but wow.

People can hate WoW all they want but it's still the #1 and most successful MMO out there. I'm not a huge fan of it but it's still a good game that has plenty of features.

As the other guy has said, TERA is the way to go. Some people my look at it and think it's a Korean MMO and grindy and has the "fairy" style theme but beyond that there's SO much more in that game. I thought it was just going to be an Aion 2.0 but it's actually a really fun game. You have to pay attention vs boss fights or you'll die nearly instantly. They have a GvG system, a ranked PvP/Political system, open world PvP anywhere you want, and they'll have battlegrounds and arena type PvP before the end of summer.

I find it interesting how someone who does not like a item or product tends to overstate things about it. Last time I checked...1.7 million is not losing millions....but hundreds of thousands. And some should think about how a game such as WoW can afford to lose more subs than any other MMO has total.

If you want an insane amount of abilities with a ton of action bars, I'd recommend Rift.

So, I have been a loyal player of Star Wars: The Old Republic since launch, and I've been playing pretty much nonstop. I took a break this past week to pick World of Warcraft back up to see how I would react after playing SWTOR for so long. The result was particularly jarring. Namely, I fell asleep. Or rather I got drowsy simply sitting in my chair, hitting the '1' key repeatedly for the first 10 levels. Combat was incredibly boring. I don't even know how in the world I even found it entertaining, though I suspect it was because I had yet to play SWTOR in it's entirety.

Another thing, was the graphics. They felt too hamfisted, and dated. I realize that the game is older (what, around 7 years now?) however with the stylized realism, it's not hard on my machine and I can still enjoy places like Tatooine and Hoth in all it's glory. The environment is particularly well done. I look at Silvermoon city and I feel like, "Meh. Ok, it's big..." Nothing too spectacular. There aren't any blizzards or snow drifts or anything that feels ambient or plausible. It's just a giant fortress in the middle of no where essentially.

Also, questing. Oh, my dear lord, if I have to kill another X amount of rats or bunnies or chupacabras without any sort of reason, I will kill myself. I mean really, story does matter. It makes it a little less monotonous and while the bonus quests and many of the main quests occasionally have this, at least you get options and voice overs. It's not as bad is what i am trying to point out.

Lastly, PvP. I love it. That is all.
