So really? WOW killer?

Lol at this. I will laugh if a few months after that game drops people will go on the forums complaining about this game not being a WoW killer.

It may not become as popular as WoW, but to me it's already more fun than WoW.

nah no game will be wow killer, but I doubt we will ever see another game do what wow did, to me wow blows chunks, but it came along at a time with very little choices in game play, and dumbed down eq to easy mode and first and for most it opend up the market to the huge casual player base, which is not a bad thing if you want to make ton's of money and most for profit companies want to.

The true wow killer is time, as wow gets old and the playerbase gets burned out, we have already seen wow numbers drop, the number one online game is now an mmo/rts league of legends will 11million plus subs or players how ever they do it.
Next huge step for wow will be free to play in a couple of years, as Blizz has made enough money to buy a large country...LOL

Wows development map on wiki is only scheduled tll 2014 project titan is the next deal from them according to that. only wow can kill wow but unfortunately it seems to have set a bar for what we expect from games at launch it also created the entitlement generation where work is meh want epics now is the slogan.

MMORPG players will not be the target market for Titan and this has been stated by Blizzard 100 times. People still keep thinking it's going to be WoW 2.0 but what they don't realize is Blizzard is targeting facebook mom's across America. There is no segment of game that is currently targeting this market outside of Zynga games and considering Zynga made more money than WoW last year I would say it's a good market to go after. If you think WoW is easy mode wait til you see Titan. This game will be the last Triple AAA current gen MMO launched for quite some time so let's all hope Bioware can stick to the grind and get this game going. It needs content and reasons for people to log in. That is the main achilles heel right now.

I agree that I shouldn't have hyped the game up as much but it's SW and it's an MMO. I'm not ranting saying "I told you so" as I really do wish this game had that enjoyment some games have which gives them staying power. I just unsubbed and still have 85 days game time to try see a turn around but IMO the game is fundamentally flawed.

Missing features and bugs is something I can deal with in a new MMO but too many of the core functions of the game are just poorly designed. Traveling to a planet takes way too long, expertise was IMO a bad way to go in PVP, Orange gear vs cosmetic gear/dyes, story/hard/nightmare as progression is a cop out, legacy is nothing but a credit sink, linear planet progression, space combat... The list goes on.

Looking at what 1.3 entails it just seems like more of the same with a group finder. Ohh and 1 last thing, the community is horrible. When I left WOW it was largely due to what the community had become and here , that is where the community has started. I shudder to think of what it will be like in 6 months time. Seriously, scroll up and read a few of the posts above mine (and likely after) and get a decent cross section of the community.

How do you know all this stuff about Titan? You working on the project or know someone personally who is?

On the topic of this thread, I think some at Blizzard are laughing and shaking thier heads about now.

The truth is out there if you look hard enough. Not to mention the senior level designer John Staats was "LAID OFF" by Blizzard at the end of the year for reasons not publicly stated other than he didn't like the direction the game was going, ie easy mode. Then factor in the comments made by Blizzard Execs at several occassions, it is a VERY casual MMO that will not compete with WoW at all. They look for both games to coexist. Not to mention there are sites out there that you have to be a member of that contain behind the scenes info. That is how I know the direction and what the game will be. Nothing like Swtor or WoW is the only thing guaranteed at this point.

Dont be ignorant. Who came up with the term WoW Killer? The internet/ media.
1. The game is not a failure.

2. It doesnt have to close the doors of another company to be successful on its own.

3. If that stiff, awkward, outdated, cult following of a game Star Wars Galaxies could last almost a decade prior to Swtor, I think Swtor will be fine

Anyone who uses the term "wow killer" in a sentence ever should feel stupid, I approve this thread, whatever it might say after the "I feel stupid" part :|
