SWTOR had the best combat of any MMO since WoW.

this..pretty much every mmo, ive ever tried, has better combat, than swtor
the launch state was pretty good , actually
but, that doesnt help much, when the system , itself, is borked
wrong thread.
I thought the combat animations where great, the way they where tightly synced to the damage. I also really liked the resources system.
What killed the game for me was they went out of their way to make sure there was no combat in the game world. Even though Huttball was great, there are only so many battle grounds a person can do. Illum sealed swtor's fate. As a pvpr in a themepark, there must be variety, battle grounds, wpvp, duels, arena, etc. Swtor only had battle grounds. All the pvprs left.
Rift did not in any way attempt to emulate WoW. If you think that, you have obviously never played either game.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
Ditto here friend. Give me a more visceral and realistic combat that actually takes skill rather the ncommiting to muscle memory 48 frikken keybinds.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Umm OP,i do not care one iota about actrion combat,and yet SWTOR is one of the worst lowest effort combat structures i have seen in any game outside of the huge influx of f2p games now.
I actually REALLY wanted to like SWTOR,i played it a lot and tried every single class.The combat is actually what turned me away and everything else that is tied into combat.The game was so incredibly generic in it's design,EVERY single aspect of combat remained the same,groups of 3 mobs all tied to the same AI,no way to pull just one mob if soloing,you get all three because they are on the same AI.
Choice was NOT at all in the game,no choice in weapons and no choice in how to play,you HAD to follow the linear questing design.
I do not think much of Wow at all, but i will acknowledge that Wow's combat is miles better than SWTOR,pretty much every game i have played is better than SWTOR's combat,it is the weakest point of the game.
IMO SWTOR is a game that was too costly to bring it to the EPIC proportions most of wanted to see,several areas of the game looked rushed or just done very cheaply to get it done quicker.Given a better developer and another full year and a restructured combat/AI,SWTOR could have been a really good game,as is,it is no more than f2p quality.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
QFT, they rushed it , so they could get the Cash for the rest of the IP
any mmo will become stale and boring, at some point
this game made it so much faster , than most other games
the lack of choices are mind boggling
its about as linear, as dragon age 1
the combat is more similar, to chopping wood
1 more year wouldnt have been enough, it needed 2 more
PS: DA 1 is actually less linear, than this, the convo choices there have big consequences in game
I found SWTOR combat quite dull, and the environments even duller (absolutely hated Taris). I don't like how fleet centric the game was. I played SW Galaxies a bit, and even though the graphics were sucky, I thought it was way better than SWTOR because it had such great housing, pet breeding, the entertainer class, and crafting, and stuff like treasure maps. Personally I prefer the combat and gameplay in games like DDO, Eve Online, and EQ2. Didn't play Wow for long at all, so it's not my thing either.
I feel that SWTOR works okay for Star Wars fans, and doesn't really translate well to non-Star Wars fans like me. It's pretty much mostly a guy's kind of game. I haven't regretted killing my SWTOR sub, which I did just prior to the "free" to play switch. I'm gonna try Wildstar, which I think I'll like more because of better emphasis on things like housing. The Wildstar art also looks nicer to me.
Things I've read about such as the greedy cartel market, annoying interface restrictions, and loss of character names are huge put offs to ever resubbing to SWTOR. Hi Five to anyone who likes it, it's just not everyone's cup of tea.
Lol right about that. I replied to it because this site had it listed as active on the home page. I reckon lots of old threads get resurrected that way by MMORPG.com. I didn't even notice that it started so long ago.
