Or rather I got drowsy simply sitting in my chair, hitting the '1' key repeatedly for the first 10 levels. Combat was incredibly boring. I don't even know how in the world I even found it entertaining, though I suspect it was because I had yet to play SWTOR in it's entirety. Another thing, was the graphics. They felt too hamfisted, and dated. I realize that the game is older (what, around 7 years now?) however with the stylized realism, it's not hard on my machine and I can still enjoy places like Tatooine and Hoth in all it's glory. The environment is particularly well done. I look at Silvermoon city and I feel like, "Meh. Ok, it's big..." Nothing too spectacular. There aren't any blizzards or snow drifts or anything that feels ambient or plausible. It's just a giant fortress in the middle of no where essentially. Also, questing. Oh, my dear lord, if I have to kill another X amount of rats or bunnies or chupacabras without any sort of reason, I will kill myself. I mean really, story does matter. It makes it a little less monotonous and while the bonus quests and many of the main quests occasionally have this, at least you get options and voice overs. It's not as bad is what i am trying to point out. Lastly, PvP. I love it. That is all. time to be "that guy" but why would anyone care at this point? WoW is HOW old? obviously if you haven't played it yet you're not going too... reported post as spam..doesn't belong..is only going to incite trolling/fighting..and quite frankly it's a little silly to post at all with how old WoW is...anyone semi-interested in WoW already has at least tried it...hence no one needs, nor cares, about one persons (VERY) late "comarison"

Mark me down as another who tried Tera and got bored within a day of playing. If it was F2P I would gladly play it as the combat style is interesting if a little simple, but to pay a monthly subscription for it? lol. It's your standard korean grinder with fps style combat and furries/prepubescent girls.

Yep and funny how they just expenaded this so called failed game in more country's, the word fail is so mis-used these days, and out of context. Tera another sword and board game, no thanks, I am sick of them, I could not even imagine going back to wow, it was a toatal bore fest for me long before Tor even came out. I see nothing coming out for awhile that intrests me at all, thats why we have a lot of games to choose from not everyone, follows the heard.

Having played both games (WoW and SWTOR) in the past week I can safely say I'll be sticking with star wars for the moment. My paladin in WoW just isn't fun to play at endgame, the combat is barely any different (imo it's actually worse, auto attack n all) and the graphics are ugly, I mean soooooo ugly. Playing my Assualt Spec Vanguard is a blast, I love the mid range DPS feel to it and just love the feel of blaster rifles in general. Granted WoW does still does 1000 things better than SWTOR, if EAoWare can step up their game, this game will do just fine. It's got all the core features of a great game and with x-realm battle grounds and group finder it will keep people entertained for years to come.

I know that I can't go back to reading quest teksts after playing SWTOR, it is just such a forgetable way to relay quests. I can't really say I remember much of the story for WoW, only a few instances of good story telling. With SWTOR I remember most of the class story quests, some of the other quests are more forgetable though. What I think is much better in WoW is that there is more imersion in the world itself, day night cycle and more stuff happening. SWTOR is unfortunally way to static for my tastes, but then again Bioware has never been really good with making a living breathing world. WoWs graphics are all about the art direction, which is great compared to most games. And it runs smoothly without stupid popin. SWTOR runs fine for me, but the lod popin makes it really ugly when you use speeders and such. In general it is a very bad engine, but I bet it will improve over time. What I don't like about both games is that content is required to be done with lots of people, I know it is an mmo and that playing with other people is like the whole point. But I am not very into raiding, as it is more of a job than to have fun. Also when they have the most important story elements locked to raiding it really is a letdown. I would really love a game where you had 2 man versions of all dungeons etc. Of course the gear would be crap compared to the 4 man versions or raids. But it would make it so casual players such as I can experience everything the game has to offer.

I'm just sick of elves & trolls. Tera did sound interesting in concept, but I can't get by the style of it. WoW was great for what it was and when it was, but I've moved on. I was looking forward to PlanetSide2, but SWTOR is so much better than the first PSide was, and I don't think PSide2 will come close to SWTOR. I never tried Rift, and when I wasn't bored by EVE I was getting gate-camped -- though I think I might have been playing it wrong The point made about Looking for Group queue was a good one, and I think they're working on that for SWTOR, so there's something to look forward to. Also, it appears to me that you can level to max by just doing the class quests, which is really cool because doing the side quests over might get boring.

I like swtor a lot I really do. I just want an active server and a decent queuing system. Currently I'm on a dead server with no warzones, no flashpoints no groups of any kind and most importantly pretty much no other players.

For me, WoW, Rift, GW2, etc. will never capture my imagination like this game, because this game is Star Wars and they aren't. I just don't care as much about their made up worlds, because I fell in love with George Lucas' made up world as a 5 year old in 1977. There are dozens of fantasy MMORPGs, but only one real one about Star Wars. So even if I jump into EQ2 or GW2 (screw WoW until it goes F2P), I won't give up SWTOR.
Below this is my referral link. If you press it you get free stuff and I get free stuff. This makes you, me....and Bioware happy, but don't let that stop you! Referral Link---> http://www.swtor.com/r/fDdy48 <---Referral Link
