It won't take a chunk out of anything, and this is coming from someone who is looking forward to the game.

There is a correlation, but that's all it is, a correlation. A valor rank 20 player could be in full champ gear because he was extremely lucky, while someone at valor rank 60 could have 50 implants. That might have been true for MMO's 10 years ago, when they were niche. Not so much now.

Eh, I honestly enjoyed DA2 more than MF2, but I guess I'm just a rebel. TOR will most likely be a niche MMO, I'm not sure why people thought differently. Until we get over the fact that no MMO will rival WoW's success ever again, we can move on and just enjoy the games we personally like, instead of arguing about the next big thing on a forum. Yes, TOR has a lot of problems but at its core is a decent MMO, I honestly think it will fare better than Warhammer and Aion did.

Then Mass Effect 3 will come out, it will be amazing, and fickle people everywhere will love them again.

Click to move, lol.

MMO's have already figured out how to make leveling slow as all hell. It's called EQ back in 1999. Most people complaining about how easy it is to level in this game would be crying trying to get to a decently high level in EQ, back in the day. /old man

Between Ilum not working for 3 days on Iron Citadel this week, warzone wins not counting for the daily, and getting my 6th empty champion bag in a row since 1.0.2d, not sure I can justify a subscription to this game. I'll be patient, but this is getting really frustrating.

No utility? Really?

Yes it does, that's all MMO's have ever been, lol.

I was just saying that it's a better representation than the picture you posted. It hasn't improved THAT much, even 3.0 doesn't look like your screenshot.

How about this: http://i42.tinypic.com/2zdqi6h.jpg vs This: http://oi40.tinypic.com/syl5l4.jpg And that's the problem, it's all relative. Depending on the screenshot, area, gear, ect ect.. People need to realize that liking a game's art style more than the other is just opinion.

Because it doesn't make sense. A better analogy using the same examples would be: "Buying a crappy TV then paying $15 a month to eventually get the features implemented that should have been with the original purchase"

That's a pretty terrible analogy.

Although Tera looks really great, you exagerate Aion graphics a tad with that picture. Better representation: http://www.pcgameshardware.com/screenshots/original/2009/09/Aion_Bilder_36.png The closer Aion gets to 3.0 the better it looks, though.

I actually would have picked BE since they are the most comparable to the Sith Pureblood (for obvious reasons), but sadly my trial account does not let me use BC or cata races.

Both games at max graphics... TOR: http://oi40.tinypic.com/syl5l4.jpg WoW: http://i42.tinypic.com/2zdqi6h.jpg I could have picked a better set up for the WoW picture, but my main account isn't subbed atm, so it's the best I could do without spending a lot of time.

You ok?

It's just the way the map and dailies are designed. You finish them faster by just base trading, there's really no point to killing the other side. Even if it was just for pure enjoyment, it's always like 20 vs 4, boring for both sides.

When I'm done with the daily, I start killing them. It's really funny seeing people rage about it.

Oh, so you're strolling for low levels to gank, lol.

Go to Voss when you're high enough level. Have fun.

Make Republic vs. Empire vs. Inquisitor Would be balanced enough.

I think they only sell for 1 credit.

I'm guessing you mean deserter. But yes, some huttball matches are complete disasters.

Eh, that's debatable.
