What SWTOR will be

Too late to be innovative, fresh, or on the leading edge. Instead it's just one more smelly fish in a crowded pond.

No no no..

There are 2 schools of people.

School 1:
People that aren't really into gaming or MMO's very deep that saw this game and were like "OMG OMG this is awesome!!!!" And they like it, cry about mods, macros, UI customization etc etc. A lot of these people played KOTOR and moved to this game. From that standpoint sure this game probably rocks. These people are also StarWars fans, in fact I haven't found anyone that thinks the starwars universe a joke, but loves this game mechanics....

The other people out there that fall into this catagory are the "Anti-WoW" gamers that played Lotro and eve and whatever other fail MMO's out there they put their stock into saying "This MMO was way better than WoW"

School 2:
People that hardcore game, spent the better part of the last decade in wow and 10 years prior to that in other MMO's. People that realize the carrot on a stick model is played out, rushing content to level cap, and farming dailies and instances is a dying genre. WoW will slowly deteriorate, but will outlast this game by far IMO. Gamers like us realize what matters in the MMO community.

It's not voice overs, grinding to level caps, farming the same exact instances each week to get gear which allows for advancement to the next farming location, it's not 2 faction servers or crappy PvP models.

Those are all things that WoW does already. Rift cloned it, Swtor also cloned the mechanic.... there are tons of no name free mmo's that cloned this as well.

Cloning what WoW did to try and jump on the cash bandwagon just won't work this late in the game because the true gamers are already looking for the next generation game to bring us a new style of play.

We weren't looking to jump into WoStarWars with crappy options and no customizability. Honestly this game is a WoW clone 100% with a sci-fi environment, minus all the polish of course, that WoW has added for 7 years, and meaningless voice overs.

This Genre has been done, and done agian 6 ways to Sunday. It's time for a new genre of MMO - and for me, it is on the way to launch this year.

Here is to hoping that game revolutionizes the genre, and puts all these old MMO's to bed.

This game does nothing WoW hasnt already done besides story and voice acting, everything else is the same.

Now tell me how this game is going to become the next big thing,

and more importantly how does More planets, weapons, etc = next gen MMO?

Please explain.

Reviews? And I never said I was an expert of TERA, watch videos and whatnot. Maybe TERA end game is boring, but for 49$ I am willing to try it.

i'm pretty sure we're stuck with this until someone figures out VR... or some way to give the player a more immersive experience in the game environment. I know VR is a long way off but there doesn't even really seem to be a vision of what comes between what we have now and VR gaming.

In that respect, everything we get from now until VR becomes feasible, will be definable as some type of wow clone. the question is did they clone it well or did they clone it poorly. i think the answer is fairly clear with this game.

I don't get posts like this. Do you honestly think BW isn't listening and busting its hump to try and fix every problem in this game for us and quickly as possible? It would be business suicide to ignore the community and refuse to fix the problems in this game. I'm also confused as to what people are having a hard time doing beyond dinging level 50. I can only speak for myself, but since hitting 50 last week I've done Hardmode Flashpoints, PvP in Warzones and Ilum, done daily quests for credits and tokens to buy better mods and gear, and done one normal EV Op. No bugs or exploits hampered my experience or prevented me from advancing my character, so what exactly is your problem?

Oh. So you mean like a game that's perfected every other game's best features only at HD res? (So much for legacy system subs.) Maybe zero lag at any given BW? (Backbone pipes for all!) How about haptic HID interfacing that allows the player to experience live combat pain when their character gets hit? I mean, define innovative, fresh, or on the leading edge.

What game perfected every other games features?

Exactly! It doesn't exist.

Wishful thinking, hater.
