It won't get a free pass but they can disguise it better because they do not have to deal with subscriptions. They can say anything they want if they choose to. This is part of the reason why I dislike f2p or b2p mmos. Quality suffers because of the business model.

Originally posted by hikaru77 It is Star Wars and BW's mmo for KOTOR series. Of course it is going to have more initial sales than GW2. For now...we'll see about sales in a couple months though. I don't see how you think this game is more themepark than SWTOR at all. ...and no I'm not one of those running around saying this is a sandbox game. I also don't see where this is more instanced either. There is a lot of exploring one can do in these zones. For explorers, this is one of the best mmos I have seen in some time. 1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical. 2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself. 3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose. |

Originally posted by kol56 Honestly, I'll ask again, did you read it. Lets start. game has gear progression(not just cosmetic): This is fact. You can't deny it, no matter what your views are. game has 8 dungeons with multiple modes which is more than most games release with.. game has open world raiding: Again am I missing the opinion here? Sorry, I forgot that she just believes taht these exist instead of them actually being there in the game. Hmmmm.. I don't care that you don't like the game, good for you, but you're bashing someone and stating that all her posts are opinion instead of READING them. You stated, there is no gear progression (not an opinion), that there are hardly any dungeons (pretty sure 8 with multiple modes suffices for launch since most have maybe 1 raid you can do and maybe 4-5 dungeons with only 2 modes if that to do at max, this has 8 with 3 modes). So yes, there are counter points. But please enlighten me on the error of my ways. Facts and opinions are 2 completely different things. You might want to look up the definitions before you post a rebuttle next time. If you couldn't see it from her post about diablo 3 that you clearly don't understand the difference, then I clearly am wasting my time. |

SWTOR failed because it was an instanced singleplayer game and people just ran out of content and stopped playing, like they do with singleplayer games. And because it did nothing new.
GW2 emphasizes community, long term RvR, and has a few nice innovations to keep people going. |

In a straight up experience comparasin, I find that despite I am mainly playing solo, I feel more like part of the community in GW2 than I ever did in SWTOR. I don't feel the need to group up for content because we are already grouped. People help each other most of the time without issues and they rez and heal complete stangers without being jerks. Overall I like this feeling. I try to thank anyone that might rez me, although in some cases the battles are a bit too intense to be worried about manners. I hope no one feels slighted. I certainly don't if I do not get the Thanks, but this goes out to everone else that does rez and heal...giant thanks! GW2 for me is a game that should not be played in a linear way. You should settle back and take your time to learn the combat, the skills, and the weapons. Combat is about when to swap weapons and how to deal with the different mobs because they vary a great deal. There is plenty of challenge in this game if you want it. SWTOR was no challenge for me at all until end game raiding, and the challenges there were based mostly on random instance gliches and the skills of the group more than the game. I haven't run any dungeons in GW2 yet to be fair, but already in the normal game play I find that I have to exercise caution before running around attacking anything that moves. A player can bite off way more than they can chew in GW2 very, very quickly. I haven't tried out the pvp yet because I feel it is smarter to understand the skills, weapons, and how they work before going up against more experiences players at this point. I was very competent in SWTOR in pvp. I was often top of the lists for medals and truely played the game for that purpose only. There are aspects of the pvp in SWTOR I do not like but few of them were game breaking, I just prefer a larger map where strategy and team planning can be ongoing. When Ilum was deemed a failure, I grew bored of the warzones very quickly. I have no issues with "Zerg" pvp overall. In my experience very few games can keep such things out of the game if large numbers of people are going to participate. I can't say for sure that GW2 is going to be the long term game investment for me. Time will tell. I can say that after a week despite a couple of small glitches I am really enjoying the game and having fun. SWTOR at the same point was still new and interesting, but I felt as if I had to eat the content as quickly as I could in order to keep up with everyone else. I never got distracted for hours on end the way I have been in GW2. I can lose time there very easily. |

Hey, OP, it's hard but I persevered and managed to cook up a scenario for you depicting how GW2 can actually *share* SWTOR's fate. Here you go:

Tor failed for many reasons, but it comes down to, The devs made a game they wanted to make, not the game fans wanted to play. GW2 tried to make a game people would enjoy playing. |

Both games are theme park, but swtor has the same rides for every class, with 1 different attration told in voice overs.
The pvp 1-49 is similar in cocept as WvWvW due to a stat bump, but WvWvW atleast serves a purpose. And to the guy that said swtor has less structor... Are you kidding me? Currently playing Real Life.. http://i36.tinypic.com/2uyod3k.gif For all your stalking needs.. |
