Stop hating, go play WoW, enjoy your jack black inspired expansion and stay the heck away from these forums.

MoP won't be that bad. It's gotta be better than Cata which put the nail in the coffin on the absolute destruction of Warcraft Lore. Night Elf Mages anybody?

Anybody miss WC3?

I still hold a grudge against Blizz for Horde Paladins :/

Only thing i want to see is maybe a small level cap increase maybe to 60 but make it from there on out a somewhat steeper experience curve keep in mind im 35 while writing this and have been playing since the 17th. because i have a friend thats level 50 and he doesnt even get legacy exp (im guessing legacies are spread around all characters on that server maybe and you have to make alts when the first hits 50 or somethin...wont know til they release more info on it)

but from what we have from the start is alot better than what i got from wow when i joined pre cataclysm and even then....it was more of a job than a game.

No difference in this MMO to another, you quest alone until you need to group for an instance or Heroic.
If I missing some other function every other MMO has and TOR is missing please enlighten me.
I'll enlighten you

SWToR is nothing more than a linear RPG. You have one main storyline and a bunch of side-quests, which are so mind-numbing that the only way forward was to make them even more mind-numbing by adding in the wait for it.. a bonus! A bonus if you last it long enough to kill another 30 or so of the same mob.

The probability here is that 99% of the fanbois played wow themselves, yet, mention something negative about SWToR now, and they go all kidish and tell you go back to WoW or HKO. They seem to conveniently forget that wow had multiple zones you could grind levels in, in addition to the quests. SWToR has one zone at your level and nothing more. It's nothing more than Skyrim on steroids with multiple players online, who, if you watch, run around jumping like they're all wow rogues!!

Is SWToR a nice game? Yes.
Is SWToR a good MMORPG? No. It's a single player game with a hint of MMoRPG.
Is SWToR a polished game? Absolutely No. It's bug ridden with blatant bugs that should never have been allowed in a production release. But, because the fanbois yell at everyone who mentions the flaws, the publisher can go ahead and release whatever they want in the knowledge that the fanbois will have their back.

The bottom line is SWToR will maintain an average playerbase for some time to come. But, my money is on the release of D3 and then you'll see a mass exodus.

There is on;y so far you can pump an IP with a game presently so linear as this. The sad part is, this game could have been so much better, had more leveling zones, had things like armor dyes and more creative crafting. I mean really, the crafting here has to be the worst ever presented and actually claim to be crafting where you do nothing, and 'instruct' some automated NPC to do it for you.

Ships! Travel the galaxy my ***. You pick a menu'ised option and are shown some interstellar travel video for 5 seconds and swoosh, you're there.

Zones. Some zones are near unplayable at times because of lag. This kind of thing should have been sorted before release. I mean, HellForge from wow was a great indicator of how not to build a zone.

I'll play this game on train-tracks until I reach L50 then I'll move on. I see more greatness in the grandad MMoRP, Everquest 1, than I see here.

Sad really.

i didn't even read all that you posted because in a nutshell i'm pretty sure you said barbie adventure is better than TOR.

what i did look at is how much you've contributed to the forums. you've had 4 post i guarantee you all of them in this thread.

so in that respect. THAT is pretty sad... really.

Oh mighty forum warrior white knight of BW, if you have nothing to add or discuss regarding the post you quoted then I'm assuming all 250ish of your posts are as intelligent and insightfull as this one was.

ahhaha indeed

@OP that are your personal opinions do not try to make them facts.

this game is far better than WoW in many many ways. No go play your pandas and leave us.

If you do not understand it most companies do not want the wow crowd for anything more than buying the box...i will let you wonder why.

Troll Post WoW Is Better (LOL) No #455884455874254778521474851444

i stop reading there...

if SWTOR is a Linear RPG then some MMO must get banned for putting the RPG after the MMO.

seriously get your facts straight

a) having a MQ is not linear
b) having SQ is not Linear
c) having discussion and conversation options (no matter the FINAL outcome,you have control on how the conv moves ) is NOT linear

no go back to the other game in which you forgot the last time you read a quest before click accept and call it non-linear

seriously how much IQ some ppls have??
