World of Warcraft

i realised how wow is much much better !

Ok.

been hearing that a lot lately from people who gave it a try and quit...
Same as before with Rift, LoTRO, and a heap of other games.

:)

Welcome back. Can we end those doomsday-sayers now?

Uhh... Ok?

I was looking into getting SWTOR for me and my GF and giving it a go (i talked her into wow, i can talk her into SWTOR too - and alot of other stuff i wont mention here).

What made you quit SWTOR and come back, and in what parts is it worse (or better) than wow?

I had the same. In the beginning, The Old Republic can be amazing. With all the voice overs and unique class story lines, the game is insanely captivating as a single player. But over time you realise how very linear the leveling process is, the voice overs don't seem so hot anymore and you end up skipping most of them anyway, and ultimately there is literally nothing to do once you hit level 50. Sooner or later you realise that apart from the great story lines, The Old Republic doesn't have anything else to offer when you compare it to World of Warcraft.

Personally i would love a long leveling process, but it what i read from you is right, then it is both long AND boring?

And then end-game content is lacking?

And let's not even get started on the balance issues in PvP. Good lord, if you thought this game's PvP was unfair, wait until you try it in Old Republic. Seems every patch they release, they make more problems than they fix :/

better in what?

Okay, so leveling is too long and boring (may be a matter of oppinion), end game content i lacking but it may come (think about wow v1.2 - not a lot of content there either), and PvP balance is not balanced? WoW PvP is pretty well balanced now compared to what it was back in vanilla tbh...

Couldn't it be that SWTOR is simply having the same childhood problems that many mmorpgs have, and that it will get gradualy fixed over time?

There will never be a wow killer

The only way wow can die is when Blizzard release Titan. And no gw2 won't kill wow aswell.

Well, leveling ain't boring the first time around. The first time you do it, it is amazing. But the more characters you try out the more tedious the whole process gets because you don't get to choose which zone (or planet, for that matter) you go to. There's a strict order you need to follow, and the planet themselves are more like glorified hallways more than actual explorable worlds. Which is an issue you won't notice at first, but as you start trying different characters out and it turns out you have to run through the same quests and zones all over again (with the exception of class quests) you're not gonna like this.

ill definitely give gw 2 a shot as there is no subscription too

swtor is just wow with lightsabers ...etc ><

pvp is swtor is really bad compared to wow

and the voice overs is not that great too...

overall it just feels like a single player game with co-op and endgame is just pvp or dungeons like in wow but with less things to do :)

customer support is !@#$ too in swtor.you get replied by a bot in like 2 weeks after opening the ticket and nothing is fixed eventually

Very good point, thanks alot. I am very much a fan of trying out every possibility in a game, so this is quite important to me.

He complimented WoW for being better, basically. Learn to read the truth behind the words.

A month in SWTOR made me realize how World of Warcraft is nearly bugless and flawless.

After 2 months of Star Wars: The old Republic .... I'm still paying for it.
What's your point?
