Swtor has nothing to fear from Wildstar!

Bleh. Of course I read that after already deinstalling the game. Oh well, gonna redownload it later and try again.

You know why SWTOR is better then all the other MMO's..
It has STAR WARS content in it...
And because of that, there are quite a lot of star wars fans, that will never stop playing this game..
And because most of them aren't small kids that eager for crazy graphics.. there is not much to
complain about.. well maybe about some more story content...
But yet again, as long as it has the words Star Wars in it, this game is safe.

no amount of fandom can over come bad management. Look at SWG.

wildstar is going to be the biggest disappointing MMO of 2014 and will be the last western AAA traditional themepark MMO produced. never have seen a game with so much hype that turns off so many people after playing closed or open beta of the game. none of my RL friends are going to buy the game after playing beta. same goes for the people in my guild in TOR. pretty much everyone of them says the same thing, its just not worth $60 + $15 per month.

the future of AAA MMO's will be determined by how well or how poorly EQ Next does later this year.

so far ESO was a massive disappointment.

People are already grumbling about how bad the VR levels are to grind and how it kills any enjoyment rolling alts.

I finally quit the game after my bank inventory and all upgrades had been wiped twice due to the same bug that plagued thousands of players.

So, essentially it will be like any other MMO released in the last... 8 years? Every MMO that came after WoW was hyped as 'the WoW killer', that would 'redefine the MMO sector'... and once it came out it was 'the biggest disappointment' and 'the last of its kind'.

Been there, done that.

I predict that.... in one year you will be posting this same thing in the WildStar forums, preparing to leave for whatever the next big MMO on the horizon is. If I'm right, do a get a cookie?

WildStar is a good game, and I wish it well, but it's going to have the same problem every major MMO release has had. Expectations are too high, and no game can adequately deliver on it. The payment model will make that even worse.

I actually played WildStar in the closed beta, and went back briefly recently to try again. Although I was very excited for the game at first, it just failed to pull me in at the later levels. It may work for some people. It may even work for a lot of people, but this is no more a WoW killer than TOR was. (Or any of the other WoW killer MMOs that have come out before or since.)

I'm trying Wildstar in Open Beta, and...

...it's interesting. I'll be playing it. But at the moment, the studios are shooting themselves in the foot with their "Lock down your player name and guild name" event. Their forums are welling over with frustration, and some of what I'm seeing hearkens back to server consolidation here in SWTOR - names lost, guild names wrecked (by not being able to get it), rude comments, exasperated players...all of it.

I'm keeping my (primary) SWTOR account (I may have to cancel the second), as well as my Sony (EQ) account. Wildstar looks fun, but out of the three, if I have to let one of them go, it's the new kid. Wildstar will not be a WoW-killer, period.

So... Wildstar has something to offer. I am enjoying the beta because the combat is smooth and generally speaking the game play is intuitive. (I'm not having the perfomance issues others are having.) But, there isn't enough there to make me change or swap out SWTOR. I may play both for a while after Wildstar launches but the so called Wildstar revolution will be dead after a few weeks when the nuance wears off. It will not be the death of any other MMO and especially not SWTOR.

Why? The total package isn't better. I think quite simply the stories and voice over work in SWTOR has spoiled many of us. As a result, Wildstar doesn't feel like you are a part of another world. It simply feels like you are playing WoW in space. As such, it is not better. I think raids may be better in general. It certainly bodes well that the the grouping aspects of Wildstart are for the most part very fluid and fun. And the trinity is alive and well. But it certainly doesn't make it significantly a cut above.

So... it will fare better than TESO which was a bust in just a couple of weeks. But... like GW2, it will be entertaining for a while and then... it will be back to SWTOR.

I would tend to agree, at least in it's current ridiculously buggy state. The game is a hot mess.

There are some ways it is superior, others inferior. I think that Bioware should take a LONG HARD LOOK at Wildstar's character creation system. They have the right mix of standard and optional appearance adjustments available. Not too much (SWG, STO, CoH), not too little (WoW, errr....this game).
