Korrigan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) The story and lore of the Lich King and how he came to be was much more epic than that of Malgus... if he even has a story. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Malgus Quite a bit, actually... more than Arthas. And before you answer, know that I've killed the LK in heroic mode in WoW, and that I also read the books about him.

Shingara Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 From this thread alone I feel you may be the minority. And in that case you would be wrong as this thread in no way dictates nor shows the balance and division of players to which endgame playstyle they follow.

Azzras Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) However if they allow players to use companions for real in end game flash points as substitutes so you can 2 man them. that I would consider a good use of your companion You can already use them in this manner, but your successful completion of the FP right now might not be what you would hope for.

Shingara Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I never said it was. I simply stated form this small sample, you are the minority. on this sample its actualy equal. so its what you define as usable at endgame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyjack Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 WoW has better, more responsive combat. This is why WOW has lasted has long as it has. Wow has always had the best animations and most responsive player control. They have a superior engine. Other games hide their lack of responsiveness and fluid control with prettier graphics, but it does not make up for the fact that WoW creates a more immersive environment because of the control/movement. If Aion, Rift, SWTOR, Warhammer, etc. had learned that one lesson, they would have taken down the monster long ago, instead of wiping over and over again.

I agree 1000%, I only keep going back to wow because they have the best responsiveness from combat, and by comparison when I try other MMOs i am very harsh about this aspect.

One good thing is if you don't like companions...don't use them...esp if they are useless to you. I enjoy what they do for the game, but to each their own.

My participation in this convo got started on me mentioning that in my opinion, companions are a disappointment in SWtor, and contributed to my dislike and cancellation of my account.

Drewser Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 How does all of that gear up equipped and upgraded them with for 5 levels work out for you in this case? Not sure exactly what you are asking but gearing them was easy since most are aim based like my character and I have lots of extra columi from FPs/Raids. It is working out great since crafting is earning me 200-300k creds a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzras Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 To be honest, the monster is taking itself down piece by piece. No point getting in the way of that No doubt. WoW is killing itself just fine. MoP is their last hope...and from what I've seen thus far it is underwhelming at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is working out great since crafting is earning me 200-300k creds a day. I guess my point was gearing them up is unnecessary, given their end-game usage. So if you gear them, it's a waste for end game... and if you don't gear them, it's wasted effort that went into the system allowing them to be geared in that way. For me? I'd much rather form a party with other real players, go out into the world on a gathering/treasure hunting adventure than to do so with an NPC companion (or worse, sit on my ship and send them from there!)

I agree, And seeing the new skill list, after they abolished the talent tree. It's ridiculous. they took all that nonsense from the talent trees and piled it into the spell book. I think this is ridiculous. In the end I feel like what most people in this forum who are unhappy want, is a unique MMO experience. I know I for one was hoping SWtor would deliver on that. For me it did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
