So cute when people want to compare 2011 SWTOR to 2004 WoW, not to 2011 WoW. What is going wrong when you can't compare yours best MMO to it's modern and current counterpart, but has to compare it to counterparts 2004 version?

BW and SWTOR also has these, believe it or not You can't ask to talk them or magically flag yours ticket to be talked to, but through some random and magic draw one of these "Droids" will come and talk to you. They hold company line and kinda don't know anything. Just copy paste stuff what we can read from these forums. I.e. according one "Droid GM" my computer probably isn't equip to handle SWTOR. I'm running: i5 750 @ 3.8 GHz 8GB RAM HD5870 1GB

As a DPS or Healer I would take that extra 100 power over +54 endurance, any day of the week. But it's just my min max instinct speaking because endurance isn't that big and needed stat for healer or DPS. Tanks are supposed to "protect" you from damage and you just keep him up => more power you have to heal him with is better. Also small buffs, from i.e. Blues to Purples, prevents fast stat inflation some what. Small buff is a buff. WoW is now in that point where next major patch, 5.0 MoP, has to crunch those numbers down by big margin or patch 5.4 would give you stats like "+15 000 strength". Imo you should think more from perspective of "Does this small buff, and lost of small amount of endurance, give advantage to my role which is healing?" If answer is "No", then keep + Endurance one, but if answer is "Yes" then you take Relic with no passive "+54 Y". Even in PvP lost of endurance isn't currently that big of deal because healers are insanely hard to kill, even when using CD's, and expertise gear isn't that common yet.

Graphics are worse than in WoW, which is feat of its own when thinking WoW's age, because of muddy low-res textures on players, NPC's and world when outside of the conversations. On top of lack of proper eye candy will 1.1 **** many 50's over because they play on low-pop server or most of players level slow => no PvP and most likely they can't do FP's or Ops. anyway. So yeah, what fun is had in SWTOR? Rolling 20 alts is not for everyone.

I was so sad when I wasn't able to kill Alistair at the same minute when I met him in DA:O. Looks + voice + attitude from dialogue he was given made me want kick hes face in :s

4HC Black Talon bosses have enrage timer of 1 minute and 30 seconds. Can be timed easily with "Use:..." relic because CD on those is 1 minute and 30 seconds. In order for you to kill said boss in less time than that, because if you don't will terrible terrible damage happen to party, you need ability to burst a lot DPS. Easiest way to burst a lot DPS into short period time is usage of CD's (cool downs) you have access to because those boost yours "most wanted" stats with way bigger margins than passive "+20 Y" does. So question can be that do I want "+100 Willpower" from my those relics, combined, or do I take "+1500 crit rating for 20 secs" from one relics use and after little while pop other relic with same use stat? Safe to say that relic "Use:..." like that is way better than lesser trinkets with passive stats. Sure this all is situational and you would need some proper number crunching in order to min max yours DPS output. This goes for PvE and PvP currently. Situational "Use:..." currently outweighs passive stat increases because of really really tight enrage timers for bosses in PvE and in PvP extra burst is needed to kill healers fast and clean. P.S. ALL numbers are just examples and no way representative of numbers that are seen in game currently!

"Uploaded by wowhorde12 on Feb 20, 2011", lulz? For that poster about D3 been released Feb 1st. Pretty safe to say that it wont be. Feb 1st is just three weeks away, game should be in manufacturing by now and yet Blizz has stated they have still some major parts of the game (balance, art, rune system as whole) in works and major beta patch is coming "soon".

If you get full set of purple PvP gear where yours base stats stand at? Most likely those "sets" are balanced around the idea that you get X amount Endurance and Y amount "Yours Primary" and that is where balance is so no need for +X or +Y from Relics. WoW does a lot same. Trinkets rarely have anything else than Equip Proc or Use. Not so much passive "+10 000 strength" kinda stats. Why? When you get full i.e. PvE gear for that tier you are somewhat balanced for said tier of PvE.

I wish. Bf 3 is also pretty ****ed up at the moment. Game still has tons of bugs that are fixed according DICE, weapon balance is pure joke, "art design" is garbage and they wont change it even after many complaints from community and so forth.

It's feat of its own when you release game in 2011 and armor textures look way worse than in WoW and WoW's engine is heavily modded and old RTS engine.

Emote was hardly "game braking / dooming" because BW takes responsibility for said exploit and will rollback EVERY meaningful boss kill (HC Flashpoints and any difficulty of Ops.) and take all loot away from players that used said exploit to gather end game gear. Right? If they don't shame on them! In the end wasn't worth of down time imo. People falling through worlds? Was it something that /stuck didn't solve? If so then yeah, something that should be fixed. Never saw said bug in patch notes tho so didn't know about it. After these taxi etc. patches I now get, PC or Companion, insta killed at end of the taxi route Just as side note. I prefer well done patches over small 5MB ones that require down time of many hours. And what said that I only think myself? I'm only one on these forums that feels that patches have been slacking any real meat and something what Blizz would hotfix into a game requires from BW that they do maintenance of couple hours? On "50's bracket" thing I take it you also play on pretty low-pop server like I do? If not maybe you should then just **** and take hot cup of coffee My servers main part of population is around mid to end 20's atm and this coupled with insane time ramp up that is required for level.. Yeah... I don't see anyway that "couple weeks and you have triple amount of 50's" -scenario is happening. P.S. Why doesn't SWTOR support proper hotfixing?

Yet pretty much every maintenance and "patch" has been useless garbage. "We fix this emote and add some cute babynames into credits just for punz. Oh.. This will take 8 hours to do, requires download and doesn't really fix anything in the end" isn't seen as proper maintenance / patch day to many. This game has A LOT imbalances, bad encounter design, overall bad design decision, bugs that were reported many times during long beta period, bugs that will make game unplayable to many etc. and then they go and make patch that fixes like one (1!) emote? Seriously now. P.S. "Lvl 50's into own bracket!" will pretty much kill game for me, and many, because lack of 50's on lower population servers prevent us from running FP's and Ops so PvP is what we do in order to keep playing SWTOR. This bracket change pretty much prevents us from doing PvP because no enough 50's to keep Warzones running. GG BW!

Is it just me or are those notes really lacking? There is almost nothing when compared to amount of bugs and issues to game is having. Either they will add to those notes or they really need ramp up patching and hot fixing. With proper notes. Now I can appreciate those well done and accurate notes from Blizz, even for hot fixes.

As far we know, atm, raid gear has no some extra slots for mods. So no stats missed if you hold on to yours current gear. So feel free to roll to that "Epicnezz 30 000" -chest, rip it apart and put those modes into yours "Obi-Wan 'Plain' Kenobi" -chest. I know I will

The Arkanian Legacy - EU is server of my choosing as couple friends from WoW purchased game on release day and we felt rolling to new server. No queues and we get to level together, that usual good jazz etc. That server is DEAD! Sure there is people, but it's Light, Standard at best as far I know. Yet every planet after first one (1 to 10) is pretty much dead. Where did everyone go? To those packed EGA servers with huge queues? It gets pretty lonely when Korriban was around ~100 ppl, Dromund Kass was around ~90 ppl and after that it dropped to around ~40 on planet and now (I finished up Tatooine today) there is max 4 other players on planet. Maybe we get a lot ppl after Christmas as this is probably one "most wanted" gifts for this season? At least I hope so as now I'm playing SP with Online DRM and it sucks. Well at least I have those mates to talk crap with while we level.
