SWTOR is less than a month old, wow is 7 years old. Why do people compare?

Just people need to give swtor time

It may be easy,it may not be, depending on how buried it is under the rest of the code. But that's not all there is to the picture. Is it a priority? Considering how many nodes there are available, I'd say it's not. So it's pretty obvious that they focused on fixing other, more important bugs.

So you can't explain it then. Thought not.

Exactly. I have my my gripes with the game but understand your going to have growing pains with swtor. I thinkj bioware will fix them and i am going to give this a chance. I like it very much so far.

A UI is something you get used to. Some programs I have used, I HATED the UI when I first used them. Now it does not bother me because I know where everything is. The chat window can be expanded a little bit, maybe that will help?

They could very well be implementing a custom UI. It obviously was not on their top priority list. They were probably worried more about the core game than anything else for the release.

EQ1,2 is elder

Once again...WoW is not the "best" MMO. It is the most successful, and has the most players...because it's accessible to anyone with a computer.

WoW has never offered anything innovative since it's creation. Even instancing dungeons was an EQ feature released at it's peak(shortly before it's decline) that WoW simply improved upon.

And well spouting off at the mouth about what it takes to be successful in this industry is a joke because the truth is no one really knows. WoW threw all the stats off by valuing quantity over quality and creating a mass influx of new MMO players who had never even touched a PC game before let alone an MMORPG in their lives.

I can always spot someone who's first MMO was WoW by the way they post about it. I'll reiterate that WoW was not innovative nor was it the first to do anything aside from modify a few features that really were not a big deal one way or the other.



It's not about the genre, it is about WoW. WoW stagnated the entire genre with it's quality over quantity success. You want to know why you can't find a new game to peak your interest...well that's why. WoW perfected the way to hand you leftovers with a new name and publishers only care about reaching that same success rather than allowing game companies to produce new "risky" games that are actually creative and innovative.

WoW is the reason MMORPGs can't move forward. No that new car analogy doesn't fit.

At some point you'll wake up and understand that for MMORPGs to move forward WoW must be removed from everyone's mind because a cheap inexpensive game that can be played on anything will never be creative or innovative.

SWTOR at least offers a non-fantasy theme park that is "new" in terms of something different from the 7 years of WoW. With CONSTRUCTIVE criticism after the "new shiny" kids go away the game may add new and innovative modes of play. Right now it's cookie cutter and that's fine because if it kills WoW the genre can finally begin to move forward for once in seven freaking years.
