Hudson Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 So stop comparing this game to wow. I played wow for years, and stopped playing before Cata. I distanced myself from MMO's for a while so when SW:TOR came out I would have a fresh non-objective opinion of the game (So I can enjoy the game for what it is.)Do yourself a favor and stop trying to make this just another wow expansion. Erase that part of your brain that constantly compars your Jedi Knight to your Death Knight. Your Rogue to your Smuggler. They're not the same, and they never will be. If you do this you'll enjoy the game SO much more. Trust me. It works. "Use the Force, Harry!" - Gandalf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesmcalli Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 People aren't comparing DKs to Jedi or Rogues to Smugglers. They're comparing the lag, ability delay, rock bottom UI, the general lack of "standard" quality of life MMo features etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomag Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) You're right. This game is definitely not wow...or rift for that matter. If it was, I wouldn't have hit level 25 and be bored out of my skull. Edited January 4, 2012 by Chomag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrifKaylon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) I played WoW for 6 years and stopped a couple of months into Cataclysm. TOR is the best game I've played in a while, and certainly the best MMO I've played, and I'm enjoying the everloving crap out of it, in spite of it's issues. However, there are a lot of little things that I don't know why they left out. Repair costs, training costs, and respec costs are a little out of control. Respec costs less so because you get a free weekly respec and I'm told that the cost degrades. Things like this - and a sorely needed dual spec and UI customization options - aren't unique to WoW. Most of them weren't even first implemented in WoW. They're just good design decisions and their absence in a new game from 2011 is notable.

I love TOR just bunches and would never return to WoW. Still, I wish TOR could join us in the present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipda Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We all know its not World of Warcraft. If this game had half the functionality and polish of World of Warcraft this forum would be a lot quieter place. The game client itself reminds us it is not WoW on a regular enough basis by being a complete turd. IMO this game could use a lot more WOW than people are giving it credit for. Comparing ToR to WoW insults WoW at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankybrit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 So, on the Honda forums, a Honda can't be compared to a Toyota because it's not Toyota? Doesn't make any sense OP. WoW and SWTOR are in competition for our hard earned dollars, and I would say they are the top two MMOs in existence right now. Of course they will be compared. Cheers.

You are correct, WOW has had a LFG tool for a while. Bioware has seen this. Bioware chose not to implement one, it was not an oversight. I'm glad that they did not. Warcraft = Queuecraft There is a reason we are playing SWTOR and not WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"ooh glass of water, this is a miracle" 10 min later. "ooh a glass of water, this is a miracle" That's not what I am saying at all, you nerf herder. What I am saying is; You can't expect this game to be as advanced as WoW is. It's going to take time for all the kinks to get worked out. So accept it for what it is, and enjoy that glass of water.

Krabcakes Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No it's not. But a big enough portion of the mechanics and style are borrowed from WoW to make many comparisons valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
