It's impossible to judge gameplay by watching a video. You may be able to see certain things about it, but until you actually play the physical game you can't say with any certainty. Anyone who does is either lying or is dilusional.
I've expienced plenty of rudeness, stupidity, arrogance, elitism and all the rest in every MMO I've played. No game has a monopoly on bad behavior, no matter how you guys love to pin it on WoW or TOR.
When I played EQ1 from 99'-04' you rarely saw douchebaggery. But even when you did, it didn't last very long, because the community set them straight or that player got blacklisted and usually left the server for another. Hell, I just resubbed to EQ1 and I'm having a blast! First 10 minutes in I had people answering questions without smartass remarks, and high level players healing and buffing the low levels.
I never really noticed a massive difference until WoW came out in the amount of idiocy that takes place. Of course though...WoW also had like X100 the playerbase. But not hard to achieve when you make the game easy enough for any foam helmet wearing drool bib recipient to pick up and play. =P
As far as SWTOR is concerned, I am torn. I grew up with the original movies...had several of the toys (I WISH I still had because they are worth quite a bit of money.), and just loved everything about it. I was pretty excited when I first heard Bioware was making a SW's MMO. It looks interesting enough...and at least it isn't orcs and elves for the 8 billionth time. The one thing that will hold me back from it, as silly as this may seem to some...is the community. Community, or lack there of rather, KILLS an MMO for me fast. After all...MMO's are SUPPOSE to be about community. If there are 3000 players running around with names like Leetsolo, Pwn Skywalker, Boobie Fett, etc...bragging about their "1st's" and how noobish others are.... or whining that some feature sucks, or they are bored because they rushed to cap I would lose interest fast. Although I have pre-ordered it, I may just wait it out a month or so and see what reviews and player reactions are about the game and the community found in it. IDK...maybe it's because I am older I just can't STAND most of the playerbase in MMO's these days. Eh.....now where did I set my prune juice.
You speak the truth....
And I prefer my prune juice on the rocks.....
Find a good guild and then turn off general chat and the player names. The problem is solved.
A big evil threatens the world, you need to save the world, level 50 cap, 6 players playing in some instance. Seems like I have seen this a million times before.
The last time i checked , swtor doesnt have 6 man parties, are you just blindly trolling just to troll?
Also, the only story older then star wars is dungeons and dragons, youve seen it all before because 90% of all stories start the same damn way, and most of them are spun from star wars in some way.
Are you just trollin to troll.. have fun playing whatever mmo you are anticipating more then swtor, which is to say.. see you in game.

So I'm watching the gameplay, and the graphics remind me of WoW... and the combat looks like WoW but even slower... and everyone(almost) is using a lightsaber...
I don't get why everyone is dying to play this.. I mean I wanted to but after seeing the gameplay, doesn't it look somewhat boring? I'm not bashing the game or anything since I've been wanting to play it myself and trying to keep up with some news/updates on it. But it now does look like a Sci-Fi-WoW-With-Lightsabers to me.. even the laser show looks stupid to me.. ugh
You're not alone my own kids walked away from this game when they announced preorders. Had EAware not been super greedy for a collector edition, the one they all wanted and talked about for years, they'd actually have it because i wouldn't have told them to go research this game, make sure it's something you really want as that's going to add up fast. They went off watched allot of video's the eldest one read what he could find and when they came back they told me they didn't want it as it looks like a super boring kotor one button i win game. Kids, kids can understand that.
I didn't even listen to them hearing it was kotor i was totally pumped, hyped and very interested, until i researched it too and all i said was, dang those kids are smart.

No one is dying to force you to play, what was your point in this whole thread? Other than hating on a game?
You want people to agree with you?
Does WoW have multibranching storyline?
Does WoW have voiceover dialogue for everything?
Does WoW let you have your say in how your story turns out?
Does WoW let you make ANY important choices to your character?
Does WoW give you any better reason to play the game other than grind that extra tier of Armor?
Does WoW have 17 planets for you to explore?
Does WoW have different storyline for your different classes other than different location for Alliance and Horde?
Does WoW have morality choices, light and dark side alignment?
Does WoW have any kind of open world PvP? Currently?
I agree there are many similarities between Swtor and WoW, but there are so much more in SWTOR than WoW, that people just arent bothering to look beyond the similarity.
People thinks any game that sounds like WoW is a bad game, yet no one realises, for a game released in 2004, it has pretty good standards. The current WoW isn't WoW2, it just had expansion updates, they are still based on the same set of hardcoding. Right now they can only explore territories possible by their 2004 vision. Just look at how much work they did just to implement a flying mount.
But then again, I AM talking to a person who said
"the graphics remind me of WoW"
I'm not sure what videos you are even looking at.........do they remind you of WoW because they are both polygon based modelling?
How much WoW could a WoWhater hate, if a WoWhater could hate WoW? As much WoW as a WoWhater would, if a WoWhater could hate WoW.
Just because I'm pro-TOR doesnt mean I'm anti-GW2, it seems you have to state that when you post. Thing is they picked different directions to go in, and that's a good thing, appeal to different bases of players.
To me, and I have to consider what I say, and what experience I can draw from, I'll say that with my time with TOR at conventions, combat may appear to be similar but for a few reasons it doesnt feel the same. Small changes, standard of multiple mob pulls may not sound big, but it plays differently. When in a group you use most all of your skills, so instead of being a healbot, or a DPS monster, you do more than just those things. (Somewhere around here I shared my Taral V experience and that was a big part of it.)
Graphics and art style seem to get confused a lot. The art style is definitely reminicient of WoW where it is not photo realistic. The graphics on the other hand look pretty good, and the animations are as fluid as I've played in an MMO, especially the ability to see mobs actual deflect attacks with their lightsabers.
It's funny that on a site about MMO's many people just dont grasp what a game like WoW did, and how it did it. We all say that WoW just took the best ideas of previous games, put them together, polished them, and did not push the genre forward in huge ways. (at least at release.) The innovations came later. To me, it appears Bioware is doing the exact same thing. Taking what works, polishing, and adding their own stamp (story) to the mix. I dont expect it to have the same result of 11 million subs, and the genre has more people now who want something different as well. Beneath it all, my hunch is that if you like what they do, you'll find a very solid and quality game, but if you are really wanting something entirely new (and new isnt always good)then it wont be for you, which is absolutely fine.
Ultimately, play what you want, and be thankful that you have options that appeal to you, because many different styles and niches appear to be getting addresed with upcoming games. Just because one style isnt what you enjoy doesnt mean it's bad, just means it isnt for you.

If looking for something completely alternative to WoW then obviously this is not what u want. Of course all the people who liked WoW and, possibly still play it love this news, also retards who have no clue where the sky is will deny that this is a wow clone. Whatever they want to say about WoW being a clone of EQ isn't irrelevant but dismissing what Bioware CEO's say about their own product is a whole new level of incompetent that I have recently encountered very often in the gaming community.
It would be really interesting to see if hardcore StarWars fans like this game. I have no doubts it wasn't made with them in mind, kind of like how the more recent trilogy wasn't. That being said, I'm not comparing the two. I believe swtor is a superior product then the recent trilogies by far.

You do realize he's referring to playability right? He's not saying take everything WOW has and put it in your game. He's talking about accessability.
Basically what he's saying is FFXIV did it wrong, to put it in a context everyone can understand.

However, I'd go into detail as to why i disagree with you but I can't.
It makes him feel "diferent" and "cool". Nothing wrong in that either!
About the OP, if it wasn't SW I woulnd't give it a second look...but SW.. it's very attractive. But I agree the MMO per se looks dull. A lot of effort put in the story, I saw a video where the quest was to spy a couple that were in love, against Jedi rules, and the animations where so well made, so well sycronized with the speech, it felt like the toons where actors. Very impressive, but really.. for an MMO... I don't know... at leas for me that has little importance, and they must have spent a ton of money and time in that aspect.
ofcourse a cinematic on the publishers site looks ALOT more awesome then the actuall gameplay.
Its called selling your product, Anything you see in that video you will not see in real gameplay (maybe cinematics) but the actuall gameplay wont look like that.

Lol... I have no idea how you get WoW out of that video. Some videos, yes I can see it, but that one? Not in the least. I am assuming you must mean the UI because thats about all that has any resemblence to it.
Yea .. its amazing they spent so much money but couldn't break away from the same old mechanics .. especially in a lightsaber game. I still think it is going to be a fun game for a while .. but not 1/2 as it should.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity. I am, usually on the sandbox .. more "hardcore" side of things, but I also do just want to have fun. So lighten up already
Branching story arcs - one of the profession video's I saw involved your companion coming to tell you the village was under attack. Your choices were: let the garrison take care of it / we should help them / who are you?
We should help them was picked. Next set of choices were: let's go / screw it, let the garrison do it after all / who are you?
Granted there does seem to be 2 branches there but it seems like the push was to help. And to be honest AoC has a form of branching story (quest) arc's too.
Multiplayer dialogue - OK?
Voice overs - meh. Gets old fast and I play alot with the sound down or off, so not a big selling point in my book.
Exploration rewards - LotRO has this
Unique crafting system - LotRO has this
Indepth companion system - I generally find I do better without pet's. GnH's has them as does LotRO skirmishes and I've used a healer following me keeping me going. Other than that ....
Realistic combat (swords actually clash with each other) - falls under the heading of eye candy for me
Open world PvP (similar to WAR) - total negative for me
Cinematic story telling (you actually see mouths move instead of bobbing heads) - falls under the heading of eye candy for me
Just to name a few.
OK just to be fair here, I'm not going to play as this time aspect of SW has no appeal to me, but my oldest will and the thread title caught my eye. As did this post with Whilan's game +'s list. I've made note's on his +'s and taken seperately don't see the big deal, although I'll give you that having them all in one game might be.
While I think TOR will be an OK game, I don't think it'll be the best thing since sliced bread.
No MMO has been the best thing since sliced bread, not even my first experience with one in the form of EverQuest 1999. I think you guys are expecting way too much out of these games. All of these pie in the sky ideas that some people have about the "Perfect" game are incredibly unlikely to ever happen, partly because it would take a lot of effort and money to implement them, much more so than what they do now, but you'd have to find a development company that doesn't innately cut corners. Especially when so many want sandbox style games, which have historically proven to be the least popular and therefore the least profitable type of game.

The WoW Card has been pulled already!
I don't see the resemblance to WoW at all, other than the fact that they want to adapt to the their business model, which other so called WoW Clones have failoed to do.
It is Bioware game.Even if fails as an MMO,It will be amazing single player MMO that is worth at 3 or 4 months of playing.I have always want to play Mass effect or Dragon age with a friend i can live with that scenario.Worse case scenario it is "Kotor" poorly disgued as a MMO.

Well, i was sitting right next to my friend that just got into beta last night, and all i can say is that this game doesn't look anything like WOW. You really have to watch the game in person and not take what you see in some video as the way the game actually looks.
Every little noob is going to roll a jedi or sith. It's pity bounty hunters can't be a separate faction.
You going Mercenary? I can't imagine Powertech will be much of a hunter. Seems like you are portraying yourself as a lone-wolf, PvP badass who takes no guff from no ones, + eats ur spinach and fights to the finach! Just wondering if the game will support you in this build-wise

Badge grinding
Tier set class specific gear
Raids / Operations
Heroics / Flashpoints
Structured heavily instanced battlegrounds
I'm not sure ur right. If you're going to put his words into "context" then maybe you should link an article where he specifically mentioned accessibilty or playability otherwise ur just talkin smack.
I'm Not saying that FFXIV is a good or a bad game I've never played it personally but maybe you should re-read his quote and ur statement. Just incase you don't realize it. You just supported exactly what I and Zeschuk are saying with ur example.

omg I played Aion and download WoW - WoWs graphics pale in comparison - they are sooooo old. This looks awesome.
There are plently of character choices - personally I'm not getting a light sabre.

That doesn't really take care of the whole issue. Maybe to a degree.
There shouldn't be a world/general chat in any MMO IMO. It RUINS the setting and lends to more ignorance.

I've made note's on his +'s and taken seperately don't see the big deal, although I'll give you that having them all in one game might be.
While I think TOR will be an OK game, I don't think it'll be the best thing since sliced bread.

No MMO has been the best thing since sliced bread, not even my first experience with one in the form of EverQuest 1999. I think you guys are expecting way too much out of these games. All of these pie in the sky ideas that some people have about the "Perfect" game are incredibly unlikely to ever happen, partly because it would take a lot of effort and money to implement them, much more so than what they do now, but you'd have to find a development company that doesn't innately cut corners. Especially when so many want sandbox style games, which have historically proven to be the least popular and therefore the least profitable type of game.
The WoW Card has been pulled already!
I don't see the resemblance to WoW at all, other than the fact that they want to adapt to the their business model, which other so called WoW Clones have failoed to do.
It is Bioware game.Even if fails as an MMO,It will be amazing single player MMO that is worth at 3 or 4 months of playing.I have always want to play Mass effect or Dragon age with a friend i can live with that scenario.Worse case scenario it is "Kotor" poorly disgued as a MMO.
Also new flash Not ever MMO is meant for you
Well, i was sitting right next to my friend that just got into beta last night, and all i can say is that this game doesn't look anything like WOW. You really have to watch the game in person and not take what you see in some video as the way the game actually looks.
You going Mercenary? I can't imagine Powertech will be much of a hunter. Seems like you are portraying yourself as a lone-wolf, PvP badass who takes no guff from no ones, + eats ur spinach and fights to the finach! Just wondering if the game will support you in this build-wise

I'm not sure ur right. If you're going to put his words into "context" then maybe you should link an article where he specifically mentioned accessibilty or playability otherwise ur just talkin smack.
I'm Not saying that FFXIV is a good or a bad game I've never played it personally but maybe you should re-read his quote and ur statement. Just incase you don't realize it. You just supported exactly what I and Zeschuk are saying with ur example.
"LOL"
You take 5 things similar to WOW and use them as an example that everything is like WOW?
I'm in beta I know what the game is like, do you?

Are you kidding - this looks AWESOME.
omg I played Aion and download WoW - WoWs graphics pale in comparison - they are sooooo old. This looks awesome.
There are plently of character choices - personally I'm not getting a light sabre.
