Well, Here's were I make alot of people happy and alot more angry. Just remember, This is my take on the game so far.
Alot of people have been saying this game is the WOW killer. LOL
I say they need to compair both games and you will see that this game is just another meduim grade game out to get it's followers just Like Warhammer, Aion and Rift. It is not the WOW killer (WOW is killing itself anyway!)
Yes I am going to compair the 2 even though one is a medevil game and the other is a space game, but both are MMOs.
I will compair SW:TOR to Vanilla WOW or WOW 7 years ago sense so many people think thats how it should be done (Even though in 7 years the tech for computers and gaming has changed to the max.)
This game starts with 4 newbie zones. WOW starts with 8. Thats double. As SW goes on we then go to the next few zones were all Republic/Imps now share 1 zone/planet for the next few lvls then both side share a zone/planet for the rest of the game. WOW has a zone for each class on both sides for awhile then it drops to 2 shared. Thats 4 times as many zones at it's lunch 7 years ago. Plus it had twice as many races and classes.
Really no difference in crafting. Honestly. Being able to tell 2 of your companions to craft or go on material missions is no big deal sense you have to stop and do it over and over.
Man problem: Everquest took 3-4 years to get to max lvl. Yes, that was to long but WOW made it so you could do it in 3 months then Aion, Rift and no SW:TOR you can do it in 9 days. Which means you get to endgame or the same ole same ole faster then before. Big mistake. It's the trip that counts not the destination. Like all games, the endgame is just PVP or Instances. Yawn!
Game has a huge amount of bugs. Never seen so many in WOW, Aion, Rift or Warhammer.
Bugs:
Companion wont follow you onto a lift or into a room. Despawns for no reason
Many, many graphical errors.
I love it when my Troopers ship leaves a space port, goes into space and it's 2 wings poop out, the ship jumps up like a spring which in space is not possable, the ships main body should not move and the wings should then fould up and down.. Thats just one of many mistakes I've seen.
You people getting tired yet of the ship launching when you enter it? Even when your just going to use your Holo? Way to much time wasted. They should have a LAUNCH button by the galatic map so we can launch when WE want to!
Have you people come across quest that are rated solo for your lvl or maybe your a few lvls above it yet the mobs kill you in seconds like there elite/heroic. Found over a dozens already and I have the best weapons/armor I can have for my lvl and my companion.
You people getting tired of the boring space rail shooter yet. I dont play it anymore. It's just to stupid. We need something more Like Jump to Lightspeed or Eve for are space combat and quest and group please!!!!!
How about that cheap galactic aution house LOL. You can't be very specific on what your looking for with it. Really bad.
You notice how we all have to do the same quest other then the class quest. When we only have one planet to all go to for certain lvls it gets boring fast. WOW has at least 4 zones for people to choose from with those zones own quest. Takes alot more time to get bored.
In the long run this game is the same stuff in a different box and they didn't even rap it as well as WOW did.
This game should be compaired to WOW today but it's less then 20% of vaniila WOW on its launch day.
I'll still play for awhile but I'm sure like most people that aren't Star Wars crazed, I'll be gone in acouple months.
Still waiting for that WOW killer but dont see anything on the Horizon yet!
Now, be nice when you post people. This is just one persons veiw and I will respect yours!
