wildstar is the sleeper hit of the year tor has barely anyone working on it and chances are will be sunset very soon.

yeah wildstar looked cool but it failed to deliver.. by the time i was high enough level to try out dungeons i had allready grown bored with the game. i decided to give it another try during open beta and found myself calling it after 4 levels. it's looks awesome but it does not deliver.

also people are allready whining about there being so few people in the open beta and the fans say it's because they dont want to burn out.. if you cant keep em from getting burned out before it's even released and they have'nt even come close to level cap you're defenitely doing something wrong.

SWTOR is FTP, there is no reason to give up SWTOR completely.

Your right, I'm sure the 200 people reading up on SWTOR are much more valuable than the 1100 people reading up on Wildstar.

Wildstar will put a pretty big dent in SWTOR for a few months. The great thing about SWTOR is that it is FTP, people can easily pop onto SWTOR when ever they want to raid or PvP a little.
are we counting just reddit or total people.

I'm curious. becasue none of the people I personally know and play SWTOR with - EVER go to reddit for anything. we usually check out dulfy and a few other sites for SWTOR stuff. and well.. developer updates. so... does it mean we don't exist or something?

moreover... we lost couple of people to ESO. we lost none to wildstar. why? its not the same type of game, it appeals to a very specific player and a somewhat different part of the market. I'm sure there will be TOR players who will check it out for a time. but I simply don't see it making much of a dent.

(and no, its not even remotely the best game on a market. becasue there's no such thing as objectively best game, you know given people having different preferences and desires. )

SWTOR does a small player base as compared to WOW, FFXIV ARR, ESO (although look at that again in 6 months), and maybe RIFT. However, I think you are neglecting the advantages of having the best IP in the MMO industry. This does not mean SWTOR is better than Wildstar. It just means that this game retains a certain population because of its IP.

I think that Wildstar is a good game. It is challenging and has a really fun combat system. Its housing, vehicles, and crafting are superior to SWTOR. However, I do not get a lightsaber and I cannot use the force. I am not a Jedi nor am I a Sith. I think that a lot of people will leave SWTOR until 3.0. However, a large majority of them will come back during the expansion.

As a disclaimer, I am extremely frustrated with the game right now. I think a lot of the content is "easy-mode" and a sub is not worth the 5 months of no or rehashed content. So do not think I am some BW/ SWTOR defender.

our goal at this point should be to see tor start doing what we tell them to or for a relaunch of swg. they wont do that first one however thus wildstar will take whats left of the tor community.

SWTOR has nothing to fear from Wildstar, because my PC is apparently too bad to run it well *grml* With every graphics option turned to the absolute minimum I still only got 30-50 FPS (which is entirely fine, I run SWTOR at 40-50 most of the time) - but the game looked like a game from the N64 era. Not sure what they did wrong there, the graphics aren't nowhere near good enough to justify that bad a performance oô Hell, SWTOR runs great on almost maximum details, with just shadows and a few graphics options disabled.
So why does Wildstar still run like poop, even though I turned everything down far enough to turn it into a pixely mess? D:

SWTOR is not a bad game. Do I think BW takes too long between content updates (with the understanding that the content can generally be "conquered" in a week)? Yes. Would I like to see more challenging content that BUILDS on the content already available? Yes. I would also love to see BW have the resources that FFXIV ARR has. I would love to see a relaunch of this game.

Even if the game remains the status quo, this game is going to be around for at least the next 3-5 years. One SWTOR is F2P. Two it is a STAR WARS MMO.

I never played SWG. From what I have heard, it was riddled with bad game mechanics and functionality. I think that SWTOR had a good idea just bad execution.

Played WildStar Beta for a couple of afternoons. It wasn't horrible, but didn't really grab me.
The fact that my PC could barely handle it did not help matters.
It's not about the difficulty, it's about compelling gameplay!
