Rabid fanboy's are why Lucas won't make anymore Star Wars films, cancelled account already

I love this game do not get me wrong. I believe it has a lot of potential but you can not ignore the 800l b gorilla sitting in front of you. That is lack of features in game. Guild banks, movable ui, combat log, character creation is weak, etc... I think they would have some if not all these features in game. I know a lot of us complained during beta on this.

they seemed to have not paid attention to much, and were just having nerdgasm's over the voice acting, that gets old and boring after you hear it for a minute, then you space bar thru it all
They add something new in mmo's , for the first time i really enjoyed leveling on a mmo and i'm sure when you release a rpgmmo game you would focus on leveling then in the next upcoming patches you focus on end game content, that's the article point , that is my point

Support the game and i'm sure they will add gr8 pvp/pve content just how they made leveling so gr8 and fun .

And how much has WOW made? OH at LEAST a billion dollars, considering subscription numbers from the last few years. So yea, you can't compare an MMO that has been out for 7 years and another that has been out for 2 months.

From the customers point of view you can, and you do.

If i spend 15,- per month for one game and the same for another. I will do it for the "better" one. And then it simply doesent matter how long a game is out. 2 Month, 2 years or even 10 years.

Almost every time, if there are 2 things for the same price, you take the better one (Exceptions applies).

And thats a fair point of view from the customer perspective. But the point still stands. WOW has 7 years of experience and a ton of R/D money behind it. To be honest, BW should have spent more money on the game and not as much on the actors. I love the story but they could have left out some of the voice parts. JUST MY OPINION. But again, WOW has more money and more development time to iron things out. IT IS NOT EASY TO MAKE AN MMO WORK. Many have come before us that have failed. Horribly. This one is not doing too bad right now. At all. For 2 months in, it's FAR better than STO, LOTRO or even WOW ever was. And yea.. i was there for all three

Dont get me wrong, i play swtor, and i like it. But not everyone is a.) an SW fan or just done with WoW. If you start an game new, the first thing i said applies. You play the "better" one.
Bioware has to keep this in mind. And i dont talk about endgame.


A new MMO MUST keep the player busy the first month (And IMHO SWTor does), so they start the subscription. It's an old rule, if players stop playing an mmo, they rarely come back.

The Problem i have with swtor are stuff like the interface, which is really crappy. I tried today to play with an resolution of 3960 x 1050 and know what ? he STILL closed the third window i opened even if there are tons of space to the left and right. Thats a no go, together with not moveable frames.
