  • Blizzard has said arenas were a mistake. SWTOR should not add them at all there shouldn't even be battleground type areas

  • Very nice video comparison. I played wow for some years and am now trying to decide whether to start playing swtor or not. Although videos like this help and this one is really very informative i keep having the feeling that swtor is new and people are excited by this alone. I really am concerned about paying a monthly fee for a game that may die in the next year and with some great games oming up i really want to see how things will go because everyone seems to like this game!!

  • U are Like 20 Lol comeback after 14 years of mmo playing , but hey mmo are mainstream now so WHO the fuck cares

  • one of the thing's i noticed that is a major difference between WoW and ToR is gear isn't truly designed for just one thing so your able to do what ever you fell like doing at the time like if you did allot of pvp and have pvp gear then decide to go on a raid or w/e you want to do your able to do so with out switching gear or spec where in WoW you have gear that is pretty much only good for pvp and gear for pve. as for the spec of WoW pretty sure most people know what i am talking about.

  • I played at WOW in 2005 and I play at SWTOR now, it's really different for the RP player I think.

    WoW is really complete now but I prefer SWTOR for the PVE and his history.

    (sry for my bad english)

  • Why us everyone comparing a game that's been out for 2 months to a game that's been out since 06? (07? Not sure the exact date, but it doesn't change my point) WoW has more content because it's been out longer...if you compare SWTOR at launch day to WoW at launch day, SWTOR would win by a landslide. Now stop trolling.

  • @MrBlake6332 wow was released in 2004, I played the beta and until this day I still play

  • @pwuint12

    I have no idea what server list you look at but I'm looking at mine right now and The Fatman and Port Nowhere are almost alway high population with several other servers that fluctuate between medium and high population. You're just another troll and to be go honest the fleet is never dead and I play Republic.

  • I agree with everything you've said except for the arena part. Arena kills pvp for a lot of people. Yes it's fun and yes it's competitive but it just turned into a "I can faceroll you because I have arena gear" type thing in BG's. I'm all for rated Warfronts (which they are implementing) and I would be all for Arenas as long as they don't make it possible to access better gear because of it.

  • Spoiler Alert.

  • To compare a game that has been out for a month vs a game out for years is idiotic at best these people must be involved with the game devs in some way

  • Starwars is owning world of warcraft and is still not even completely balanced compare the servers and people playing in each of them how many 50s the number of people playing star wars overwhelm WOW, especially star wars has just started while world of warcraft has already been on for 5 years? think about it in 1 year starwars will have everything balanced out while wow is still the same, to show wow is losing they are giving free account to lv 50 and just created a retarded new class the panda

  • Lets just show random unrelated gameplay footage!

  • SWTOR is more for roleplaying people id say. If ur into story and actually have patience then swtor is the way to go. WoW is for them impatient people who just want to level as fast as possible to 85 and do raiding and pvp.

  • 27 pepole are WOW fanboys

  • /dance

  • And then I was so awesome at wow that blizzard gave me a special title.

  • My friend got aids from wow no joke he met a chick in the game and he has the aids

  • Amazing review :) Swtor>WoW.

  • obviously SWTOR will ultimately be better for most people than WoW because SWTOR has WoW's mistakes and issues to learn from and make sure that SWTOR doesnt have the same issues. But, really SWTOR and WoW are very alike yet very different and unique from each other in certain aspects... if you have played WoW since its birth and feel that it is the best game...then it is the best game.But, as time rolls on, the trait of most people that tells you to want the new one will kick in sooner or later

  • I have this fantasy that if I say it enough people will stop the argument.

    Why can't there be two massively successful MMOs? Why is it WOW vs SWTOR?

    Its like this, I love Steak, but I also love Chicken. I don't argue over what one is better, they are both good. ya dig?

  • It's still too early to say it's over for blizz. WoW always comes back, and it is a brilliant game. Bioware have had a really good start i personally enjoyed my time leveling up to 50 and a bit of end game Flashpoints etc, currently leveling through my second character and really enjoying the experience. I don't think swtor appeals to the impatient power-leveling wow player frankly, so just stick to the game that suits you, don't play something and then trash it coz it doesn't suit your style.

  • 8 years played WoW , quit for change and see other new game , waiting guild war 2 , long time and no news what time release , SWTOR released , buy it and play , reach lv 50 and nothing to do after that , playing pvp and 3 BG's , hate BG's , ask for raid , no one answer , stuck in fleet didnt know where i go to enjoy < realy dont know where i go , start lvling another class , quests saved in my mind didnt want to see all cenimatic . skip skip skip . hate lvling, back to my lv50 , stuck in fleet

  • Pandora

    Panderia* my bad

  • I played WoW for 4 yrs and quit for SWTOR. i actually quit about 3 weeks after Firelands came out. I realized that once Pandora comes out WoW is gonna experience a younger community. with that younger community they are gonna complain about content being to hard, and blizzard is prob gonna nerf it like they always do and ppl who actually want a challenge will be clearing end game content in the first week.

    I enjoyed my time with wow but blizz is taking away the challenge of the game imo

  • Ok bud, you said this was SWTOR vs WoW video, and I just sat through 10-15m of you just sitting their and talking a hole crap load about SWTOR and only a little about wow... jesus.

    Bottom line is-SWTOR is a like a bad soft core porn film-To much cinematic talking crap and not enough sex.

    And whats this bull crap about (SWTOR is a community of people helping each other)... bro all MMO's are troll fests.

    SWTOR is going to be like Warhammer online, everyone is just going to come back to wow, lol

  • In Swtor, for me at least, there is TOO much cinematic dialogue, the on-rail space combat to me doesn't belong in a 200 million dollar game and they got VERY lazy on that, the combat is a bit sluggish, PvP is a WoW-Copy while just integrating different metallic textures, the quests are kill or collect, and the classes are just alternately themed WoW rip offs.

  • @pwuint12 the quests are sooo much better than in WOW. every quest has a unique story , because of these dialogues. I have more fun questing in SWTOR than i ever had in WOW . PLUS in WOW you just quest to get max lvl , where in swtor you play for the storyline. PvP is a WoW-Copy? ok the pvp system is very similar but they added some cool features in the PVP system . For instance if you are a pvp guy you can level up by playing PVP and also getting money for it.

  • @M40A3Nogard All of the quests are kill and collect style, with dialogue. Yes, they use dialogue[in EVERY SINGLE QUEST] which gets repetitive and mundane after fifty quests of sitting through narration. Yes, it's a neat gimmick; but it gets old after awhile; there actually is something called 'too cinematic'. SWTOR had 1.6 million sales first day; it currently has 350k subs. LOTS of people are quitting. Alot of starting zones are empty, and most servers are standard to low pop.

  • @pwuint12 The Old Republic has 350k peak concurrent players.hat's players all playing at the same time, not the amount of subscriptions it has, that's also dated information now, and reports say that figure is rising. The game has far more than 350k subscribers, it passed the million subscriber mark a while ago, and continues to grow. So people are not just buying the game and trashing it before their free time ends, they are paying to subscribe.

  • @applechunks32 Their subscriber bank is not going. After it's December hype and Christmas sales, it has steadily been losing subscribers, I currently play SWTOR from time to time, and there are no more highly populated servers, only standard to low. End game content from SWTOR is also weak, degrading longevity. Clunky mechanics, lack of class diversity, and lag will be it's doom eventually. Since the free month has ended, we will see the numbers trickle away.

  • @pwuint12 Are you basing your comments on anything other than looking at server population meters at any given point? The developers and media are reporting that the subscriber base is growing. That's just a fact. Why try to dispute it? You already put out complete bs information that the game only has 350k subs. Give up. The game is looking successful at this early stage.

  • @applechunks32 At any given point? These are basically controlled scenarios; and you are still overlooking the fact that everyone who subscribed within the first month is still listed as a subscriber, they still have an account[despite if they unsubscribed] in their subscriber base for the free month player's receive. 350k Active Users, and I count that as subscribers, because that is the activity norm[for the most part]. The rest are people that have quit already.

  • @pwuint12 I suppose the problem here is that you just don't understand the wording of reports. 350k concurrent users means that that is the average amount of players inside of the game at the point measured. It doesn't refer to how many people STILL play the game, which seems to be your chosen definition. Hope that clears it up. There hasn't been a massive stream of quits in swtor.

  • @applechunks32 Whatever reports you're citing are incorrect. I have, from first hand, witness [ on standard population servers, which are the most populated now ] that cities are dead, the fleet is dead, chat is dead, and communication and interaction is dead. I have PLAYED the game. The game is dying, at a slower rate than WAR, but dying nonetheless. You still do not adhere to the fact that 350k active players is not just for THAT point, it is the controlled amount, or close to.

  • @pwuint12 The entire basis for your assertion that the game is dying and everyone is unsubscribing is that you play the game and it feels less active now than after the massive flood of activity during launch? I don't think you've thought things through the best way, that's just how these games go. There are people that make their living off reporting things like that, and if the game were losing tons of players, you would be able to cite several reputable sources.

  • @applechunks32 The game itself is a source. You're not playing it currently, because you don't know how the populations on servers DO matter. Especially when the game is not spread out across a mass sum of servers. Playing the game itself is the greatest cite-able content, not bias reports on Google. Unless you're completely oblivious to the fallacy of your dogma, you would be able to realise the ineptitude of your 'reports'. They're fallible, mendacious, and absurd.

  • @pwuint12 I'm sorry to disappoint you once again, but running on baseless assumptions will always lead to that. My daily viewings of the legendary motion picture, Hackers, has provided me with the skills necessary to access Bioware's systems and obtain a real-time feed of their numbers. You may have nice view of a piece of the pie, but am I perched above and witness it all in great detail.

  • @applechunks32 You've yet to prove my foundations as baseless. You're just one of the few percent that think SWTOR will be a WoW killer or last beyond the continuity of WAR. Hmph, yes I am sure YOU can hack the multibillion dollar corporations financial and fiscal details.

  • @applechunks32 Oh shit did you fight colorful worms and skulls on your way to become a mighty hacker?

  • wow is dead

  • I think its funny how everyone says swtor runs bad on their high pc..... I play it on my lap top (not a gaming lap) and it plays perfect for me I rarely lag in the game

  • If SWTOR adds WOW like arena's im leaving it and just w8 for GW2

  • Are we playing the same Star Wars game?

  • WoW always wins hands down..

  • @Ikarzir reasoning?

  • @Bullettear666 Im not saying it will continue but rift was a huge ripoff, SWTOR is just

    another shiny MMO. But as we all know: WoW made the standard. All the people who

    changed to SWTOR will come back to the fold. *Evil laugh*

  • @Ikarzir i agree with you about rift, i bought it and quickly ran back to wow but i allways come back to wow for my "friends" i have a guild i can come back to in wow and be very social and who i have known for years that is the only reason i have ever returned to wow for. but i have played swtor for a decent amount of time now and from what your saying it sounds like you havnt played, i dont play it becouse its an mmo i play it becouse its a good game and its a total diffrent exp

  • Looking to trade my swtor account with time until march for 2wow gamecards, check my vid for details! 100% serious! save $30!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing backround song! (Yes, I know what it is)

  • LOL unbiased. His terrible opinion about raid difficulty is terrible. Do hard modes bro. Oh, and I love both WoW and SWTOR.

  • Bring on the flame war! :D

  • Didnt he say this was "unbiased"? Lol...not that I'm complaining, I would have a biased opinion that leans towards swtor too. But still.

  • i think the question that a lot of people come to is can there be more than 1? in the past it has felt like there can only be one mmo and the others pretty much tank. The same has been seen with consoles through out the years. i think whats going to happen is yes there can be more than 1. wow will lose subs due to it being old but still have more subs than anyone else combines hehe. SW and gw imo are going to get more of wows burnt out casual crowd. rift probably more of the raiders hehe.

  • @Djcormi umad fanboy? Go kill boars

  • you cant unsubscribe from them seriously wow

  • Wow this was bias as fuck.

  • Good video, but you started blowing it around the 17 min mark. lol Still informative. I played galaxies first. It was my first MMO and still my favorite.

  • SWTOR!

  • Guild wars 2 is going to kill both of these lol

  • @MattDaSlap dude think about how many subscribers wow has, Guildwars 2 will be a good game but not able to crush wow.

  • @Kirschbergy Not to de-rail this, but GW2 has a chance to be more popular than WoW, although WoW will probably be most people's "main" MMO. GW2 is a one time buy, so it will attract alot different types of people. WoW will probably be my main MMO, but I'll still play GW2 on the side. Why? Because if GW2 doesn't live up to the hype, I won't have to pay monthly for it. If that's the case, it'll be no different than how alot of people play Singleplayer games on the side.

  • @MattDaSlap Strongly doubt it, but i do hope it takes away a bunch of subs from swtor... becouse then they will lower the prices :P

  • pvp from wow is best

  • lol Birth of MMO's..... Young lad you are.

  • Did you just make a penta at the end? :D

  • wow has also better graphics if its all maxed out

  • @jackafa92 Now you are subjective.

  • @Rall707 tell me if u have a lvl 85 wow character and then talk to me cuz the game gets better when u hit level cap. and nothing matches wows flying mounts

  • @jackafa92 I dumped wow before cataclysm, but ive spent plenty time playing a lvl 80 character, raiding etc. All the end-game content. Nothing in wow i havent tried. Yes flying mounts are awesome, but it doesn't make the game.

  • @jackafa92 LOL sure it does. Graphics are measurable by the way. You cant just state an opinion on it. The fact is SWTOR requires a more powerful system to max out and that is because it has higher settings. My computer can play wow maxed all the way at 50-60 FPS I have to play SWTOR on low to get the same FPS. Sure SWTOR still needs to optimized a bit but the fact is it has better graphics. which is to be expected with it being a much more recent release.

  • wow rapes swtro these wow comparing videos r useless. wow kicks every mmos ass

  • summary

    wow equal base level mmo

    swtor equal base level mmo with sweet story

    now it's just waiting for gw2 to see what happens

  • Guild wars 2 will kill them both any way LOL

  • Rated WZs would be great. No to arena pvp. It ruined wow and made class balancing a nightmare for both pve and pvp for blizz. They evn said they regret arena. If you don't believe that then you are blind. I hope they keep swtor pvp objective base and leave arena out of it.

  • Seems like you dont like WOW kinda seems by-esseddddddd! LOL fail spelll STWOR us kinda boring......PVP in wow is better. pve is same to me in both but Star wars is going to die soon LOL

  • @Sniperpwnage101 I am sorry. that is incorrect.

  • Went through the effort to order SWTOR from America whilst living in Australia. Best decision I ever made.

    Goodbye WoW.

  • Rectified you are awesome!

  • Starwars musik is the best!!!!!!!!!

  • the only thing I disagreed with is the soundtrack, WoW is better by far

  • @iluvcynder Your insulting someone for having a different taste of music than you, yet you think he's the idiot? Nice logic bro.

  • @iluvcynder And are you mind numbingly stupid? First of all, it is MY opinion..why call me stupid when its my personal opinion. I did not intend to start an argument but you sir are pathetic. Everyone's taste in music are different..for me, I like a bit of fantasy music. I play both games, and WoW by far has the best soundtrack in this comparison.. Arthas My Son will conquer any swtor song. So you have a good day and cry with your cat in the corner.

  • after force unleashed 2 i lost complete interest in star wars

  • thats bad star was is so unbalanced

  • @VentRapz l2p

  • @VentRapz He plays commando, the most OP as fuck class, so how the hell would he know that ? :D

  • You spoiled a lot of the trooper story....

  • I tried out SWTOR, didn't impress me that much. Maybe I just need to sit down one evening and level.

  • Nice Video man, Swtor is the better game for me really enjoying the class quests and i think world of Warcraft is dying and bringing out expansions and patches that are getting worse and worse. Dont get me wrong i loves World of Warcraft but after lich king the game died for me :/.

    Add me on Swtor - Sammeh - Baccas Blade - England

  • Really interesting video

    But better nerf irelia :D

  • @DJCormi I assume you have a laptop, hmm?

  • @besse25 Nope.

  • @DJCormi Ah... okay... Maybe it's time to get a new computer bro, x) Just get a gaming pc so you won't need to buy a new one in while.

  • @besse25 AMD Phenom II X6, Radeon 6870, 8gb ram, ok bro cos clearly I'm under the req specs for this game.

  • @DJCormi Ohh... sorry, i thought that you had some problems with SWTOR's graphics due to your computer or something, sorry for my ignorance. x)

  • quick noob question im about to buy the game and im wondering can sith and jedi team up at all like on raids or diffrent worlds or are thay just nonstop oppisites

  • @kingcory10 As far as I know, no, they can't. It would make NO sense.

  • @Gleowyn well kinda would considering you can make a good sith or an evil jedi

  • @kingcory10 Well, you can yeah. But then again, it would be just silly, since this is not Alliance and Horde. This is war.

  • @Gleowyn ah  well just wondering cause i wanted a merc and my friend wanted a gunslinger so was just hopein =p

  • BORAAAAT is BACK! idk why i am thinking of borat by watching this video -__-

  • blizz should delete raidfinder and make an epic mode after hard mode :D:D

  • That is not what class balance is at all!

  • A complete breakdown?! You're kidding right?

    Nothing about raids?! Are you serious?! MMOs are all about raids. Shouldn't have done this video without the most important aspect of an MMO

  • @masacru001 MMOs are all about raids..? really..? what the heck have you been smoking, cuz i want some of that.. xD

  • swtor is a laggy piece of crap, they lied on the min/req specs, many people with high end computers are having major fps issues in warzones etc (read the forums)

  • @DJCormi Well I don't know. My computer just barely reaches the min/req, and after turning the shadows off and setting resolution lower it really worked no problem. Warzones just have too much going on, just like Wintergrasp in WoW (For example.) Can't roll pvp's in either WoW nor SWTOR. Notice that I use the same computer for both of these, and SWTOR doesn't seem that much laggier after turning settings to low.

  • @Gleowyn meh well I can run wow on ultra and other single player games like skyrim at a smooth 70-80fps, swtor is just so poorly optimized.

  • @DJCormi Though consider the fact that Skyrim is not a multiplayer game and WoW is over 6 years old.

  • @DJCormi And also, I'm not saying I'm not annoyed because of the "optimization" of SWTOR. I'm just saying that it's not just the optimization, but the game itself is quite heavy. A goodlooking MMO, it's bound to be pretty heavy.

  • @DJCormi The only problem i have had so far are long loads on planets, and i haven't played arround with my hardware for about 4 years... so if you woud please stop making shit up, that would be appreciated, thx! :P

  • @Polacken15 Maybe go read the forums? shit ton of people are having issues with the game, people with top end pc's too.

  • @DJCormi Dude, if you are dumb enough to trust the forums, feel free to keep complaining. You see, the players that don't have problems, aka the majority, don't sit on the forums all day, but play the game instead.

    Still surprised that there is noone saying "hey this game works well on my pc" in the forums..? :P

  • @Polacken15 ofc cos the 10+ threads with thousands of posts about low performance on high end computers must all be bull shiting for no reason what so ever right? just do me a favor and look them up.

    You seem to think we all hate this game and come charging in like a fan boy to defend it to the death. Bottom line is MANY people are having issues with this crap optimized game. like it or leave it, don't care :)

  • @DJCormi Correction: "high end" computers. How can you tell? Know the entire bunch of them do ya? :P

    Lol, i so love ppl falling for the forums BS about having "high end computers"... they're just ashamed to admit that they have crappy pc:s, like me :P

  • @Polacken15 I'd post that it works fine on my system which is a custom job. I have a intel I7 oc'd to 3.8 ghz, dual nvidia gtx 560'2 in sli, 1000watt psu, and a intel 120ghz ssd. but can't post on the official forums cause i don't bring my security key to work :)

    And when i'm home I'm too busy exploring the galxy to be bothered with the forums.

  • @srofai My point exactly, finally someone else with brains joined this conversation :P

  • @DJCormi i just came out... and their patching things every other day!

  • you are too serious.

    might not seem like a problem, but one day you'll have to explain the body in your trunk. to avoid said future, go listen to some joe rogan, or bill burr.

  • Great vid!

  • I don't know if WOW ever really promised housing. They did say they were always trying and testing new features behind the scenes but nothing was ever set in stone. 

  • Wow is gay

  • i like the video and agree with a lot of it but, when youre in a group, you enjoy independence? hmm

  • You make alot of good points but you also fail to back them up. I appreciate the video but this is your opinion and no one should take this video as factual.

  • SW:TOR is a great game, but still waiting for GW2 xD

  • i dont know if i wanna whatch this cause i love swtor and im syre he just says WoW is better

  • SWTOR= Essentially an improved WoW. The last game that can get away with the formula. However, WoW destroyed itself and as a huge Blizz fan it sucks to see.

  • Orospu cocugu :)
