If you like to pvp you'll LOVE republic...with Republic 9 out of 10 warzones isnt Huttball!

Ghouls by definition are not zombies Calling ghouls zombies are like calling liches mummies...Undead 101!

SWTORs copy of Heroengine is from 2006, that video is from far newer version of heroengine than Bioware has access to. They already said they cant upgrade because of the mods they've done themselves.

That still leaves 10-49 in same warzones so does that do enough difference?

Heroengine specs doesnt fit SWTOR engine anymore as SWTOR engine is BASED OFF hero engines few years old version that Bioware has upgraded themselves, it's no longer compatible with the original.

What's funny is that Hero's Journey gameplay vids from 2005 looks better than SWTOR. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ifpq2wVTzME&feature=related Notice the more detailed character creator

Actually EA bought Bioware and stitched Mythic to it without anesthetics or pain relief.

Not big ones, mind you...I guess they'd count as minor annoyances 1) Static mobs Monsters that move around their spawn have been around MMOs since 1997, mobs in SWTOR dont have even an idle animation, they are basically statues. (apart from random mob here and there that tend to do perfect circles or prance back and forth) 2) Reuse of graphical assets Both Imperial and Republic space station are the same, just reskinned. All starports are the same, just reskinned, there are 1-3 types of buildings per planet. Most instances share same decorations. Only things unique to all planets is the landscape. 3)NPCs saying same things over and over when you pass by them AHH ELDER SCROLLS FLASHBACKS AHHHHH!!!

Wanna know how SWTOR was born? KOTOR series and Guild Wars got really drunk and had illegit lovechild.

between SWTOR and episode1 Empire and Republic wouldve had war that would have decimated Empire and reduced amount of siths to only a handful. I imagine our world would be back in tribal era if Cold war wouldve went from chest thumping to real war.

Before electricity and combustion, Humanity had over 3000 years of swords, spears and bows. Progress happens in cycles, right now we are content with inventing "better cars" "Better computers" "better factories" and it may just as well be 3010-4010 before humanity achieves next plateau

I think this phrase from Ohlen deserves "Baghdad Bob" treatment

Hero engine was originally built back in 2005 for a MMO called Heros Journey, it was ment to be a game with instanced dungeons and social lobbies between them. So in short answer...no.

But...Folks at bioware loves big butts and they cannot lie!

In most servers Imperials outnumber the Repubs 3 to 1 yet I find more teamplay and teamspirit from Imps than I do from repubs...overall the community feels better and more laid back also Why I'm surprised of this is that in every other MMO, bigger population = worse community.

The loading times are insane considering how fast rest of the game is. It's like the game's downloading the whole map from server every time you enter new world.

Scroundel dirty fighting and Gunslinger dirty fighting is 100% same.

@OP So, you are upset you cant make easiest MMO in the universe even more easy?

If this game had any more Ugnaughts, I'd have to play this game with adult diapers. I swear sound tech who made their sounds should get nobel for inventing genuine brown note Every time I listen to Ugnaught voiceover I have to hurry to bathroom

I love SWTOR because I'm a KOTOR fanboy but I dont behave like SWTOR as a game is best thing since sliced bread...many people seem to get unnaturally upset if some people wish to discuss negative sides of the game AS WELL AS the good.

Current Biowares version of Hero Engine isnt compatible with the version updates from the hero engine's company because bioware has added their own additions to it. Hero Engine wasnt much more than it is now in SWTOR when Bioware licenced it.

Bioware has its own Lycium Engine that they use for all their games other than Mass Effect series, I dunno how hard it wouldve been to modify it to work with MMOs but I guess too hard as they went with Hero Engine instead.

Hero Engine was originally made for a MMO called Hero's Journey that was supposed to release in 2004-2005...however the development company ran out of cash and decided to start selling the engine instead. Thats why the engine feels so outdated.

BW implemented brown noise and made it Ugnaught spheech.

PvP in this game is awful. In warzones the side with more lvl50s always wins, while classes are identical by description, the damage types are different. Inquisitors with their elemental damage are godly compared to consulars with physical damage. BHs with elemental damage are godly compared to troopers with kinetic damage...whole reason they're not doing battlelogs are so people wouldnt figure out that the damage types are unbalanced to boot. Warzones are tiny and filled with CC, one wouldve thought the Mythic team wouldve learned their lesson after all WAR players complained about constant stunlocking in crowded maps and quit...the diminishing returns on CC isnt enough, when you get hit by a 10sec stun you wont feel any better thinking the next stun (if you're still alive) will only last 9.5 seconds. But yeah, everything about PvE is good so NO YOU CANT HAVE MY STUFF!
