ive played wow for about 5 years so its hard not to compare. sure the game just came out but when wow came out it had more than swtor. first of all you cant queue for flashpoints. players are so unreliable so its hard to find a good group it takes for ever. theres too many heroic quests like i said it takes forever to find a good group and the heroics are impossible to solo. there is only 1 area to quest per alliance which is *********** ridiculous. they should have focused more on content and less on goddamn voice acting. the side quests are boring you have to walk across the planet to get to them its just a big mess. because of the 1 zone per alliance per level it feels as though there no freedom to play the way you want and level at the rate you want because everyone is doing the exact same quests, getting the exact same gear etc. it shouldnt even be classified as a rpg imo in almost all rpgs theres freedom to choose where you want to level. this is basically a sad version of kotor. every thing else is pretty good i guess. but bottom line i think im gonna go for another 5 years on wow.

ive played wow for about 5 years.

 

You could have just said that.

so you played wow for 5 years and tell us about what it had when it came out?

He wasn't even playing it when it came out.

 

Plus I don't know what he means by 1 zone.

I'm sorry but 99% of current wow playerbase are facebook hardcores. Edited January 26, 2012 by Marasme

Snip

 

You clearly have not experianced the game.

 

Bye.

tl;dr

 

It's kind of hard to compare a game that has barely been out for a month to one that's been out for several years.

tl;dr version: I need things handed to me, so I'm going back to play my Blood Elf Hunter named Lègòlàss

Hey, hunters are the hardest class to play efficiently in WoW, don't bash them

I don't think anyone can compare WoW to SWTOR unless they played during WoW's first year. Just saying.

 

Then again WoW started catering to those who complain about how SWTOR isn't as great as WoW. So I am sure SWTOR will start catering to the same group.

WoW had more then SW:TOR when it came out? Ok, you obviously did not play Vanilla, you started when BC was out. So, right there you are wrong.

 

Side quests are boring? Like all those side quests in WoW were any better? Take The Barrens for instance, running around a bland palette-less desert to kill X amount of mobs, or collect X amount of items was less boring?

 

To many Flashpoints/Heroics? I am lvl 45, never did a single flashpoint, operation or heroic. You could barely level in WoW on just quests alone, you were FORCED into instances for XP and gear in WoW, not so here. You can play like you want.

 

Do you know what RPG means? Role Playing Game. Story lines, character development, and playing a role. SWTOR is a RPG by definition.

 

MMO, Massively Multiplayer Online, that is WoW. Weak story line pilfered and convoluted from years of lore from the Warcraft series, next to no character development, pretty bland.

 

WoW is old and stale, full of FOTM classes, elitist PvP and raiding, and by industry standards is an dated game on a dated engine with dated concepts. SWTOR is new, and over the next 5 years will more then likely rise above WoW IMO.

 

So have fun back in WoW playing your new Panda Monk, lol.

You've played a game for 5 years that's been out for 8 or 9 now and have no idea what it was like on launch. Yeah... not hard to compare at all...

 

sure the game just came out but when wow came out it had more than swtor.

 

What? Did it hell. You had the base instancs and the higest dungeon was Strat if memory serves. SW has space combat, allignment, companion crafting just to name 3 off the top of my head.

 

first of all you cant queue for flashpoints. players are so unreliable so its hard to find a good group it takes for ever. theres too many heroic quests like i said it takes forever to find a good group and the heroics are impossible to solo.

 

LFG arguably ruined the community in WoW and I'd be glad if I never saw the like again. The point of an MMO is to play with other people, if you want to solo everything, play a single player game (or go back to WoW). Players are 'unreliable' cos people are still just playin about with their chars atm, God forbid we should have fun with our chars before committing ourself to one for the next 4/5+ years. Heroics SHOULD be impossible to solo. If you could solo them all, they wouldn't be very heroic would they? The idea is greater challenge for greater reward. Not WoW-esque 'Oh you fell over while fighting a Wolf? Here, have this epic axe that levels with you. We also supply a nanny that will scare off any boss mobs so you can go though the pretty dungeons with your crayolas.'

 

there is only 1 area to quest per alliance which is *********** ridiculous.

 

Lower levels have an area to themselves. Granted once you get off the homeworld it's pretty straight, but WoW wasn't far off. Start in Goldshire, go to Westfall, then Darkshire. Gnomes and Dwarves shared their area, then joined up with humans and night elves and whatnot. Atleast in SW you have a unique story for your class, where as WoW just made you do the same quests with every race.

 

they should have focused more on content and less on gosh darn voice acting. the side quests are boring you have to walk across the planet to get to them its just a big mess.

 

Oh yeah, new content in the first month... they obviously don't care about content. Side quests on SOME planets are boring. And walking? You ever play a Horde in the Badlands? That area is f'kin huge and most of the time you spend just wandering around the damn place, and SW is alot better for placement as you have little outposts you can rest at. Something WoW did not.

 

because of the 1 zone per alliance per level it feels as though there no freedom to play the way you want and level at the rate you want because everyone is doing the exact same quests, getting the exact same gear etc.

 

No freedom... no, it's not as if you get to choose which path your char follows, and then get a choice of three trees to specialise in, with the option to re-spec at any time. And exact same gear? Yeah, 'cause you can't customise gear with mods, armour, crystals, hilts, enhancements etc...

 

it shouldnt even be classified as a rpg imo in almost all rpgs theres freedom to choose where you want to level.

 

... 'freedom to choose where you want to level' I'm beginning to think either you're a troll or you have never played anything other than WoW. I'm not even going to think about listing the number of rpgs where you have absolutely 0 option where to go.

 

this is basically a sad version of kotor.

 

Wouldn't know, never played 'em.

 

every thing else is pretty good i guess. but bottom line i think im gonna go for another 5 years on wow.

 

And nothing of value was lost.

Good sir, you are incorrect. WoW did not have more than tOR at it's launch. There was no LFG system, no BG's, no raids and far crappier graphics than it's current iteration. As for "EXACT SAME QUESTS" all I have to say is: At least I'm not digging through Poo.

 

You don't have to do FP's or Heroic quests to level, it just helps. I've never had issues finding a group, maybe your server is less than overflowing? Have you played with space combat and pvp yet? Wow didn't have those. Are you riding a speeder? WoW's original non epic mount requirement was level 40 and trust me that was far to high for the massive amount of back and forth you did in WoW.

 

What MMORPG truly gives you the freedom to level anywhere? Are you going to grind 1-85 in Deathwing's lair? You can go Anywhere except maybe Balmorra I think, it's not locking you into a single space at any point as there are tons of other things to do. Asking for leveling area's for all level of players on every planet is just ridiculous as you would have probably 10x the content you have now and after you hit 50 only 5% of it would be used. Since the leveling experience will still be "new" for new players there's no reason to have 8 different planets with 1-50 content. They will progress through and if they don't like a planet they can it skip it by running fp's/pvp/space missions.

 

 

I find your argument personally holds no water.

Stop comparing Wow with swotr You know why i quit

Sweet fancy moses! What did I just read...

WOW was doing fine until they added some of the things the OP listed.

 

Then they started losing subs like crazy

so who remembers in vanilla WoW when looting a copper vein could make you slide around in crouching position till you relogged?

t but when wow came out it had more than swtor.

15 seconds of my life I will never get back.

The internets used to be all about followers and friend acquisitions...Nowadays, I think people just say things to acquire Reply counts.

Looting anything could do that if I remember correctly.
