SWTOR vs WoW: An Overview

Wondering if Star Wars: The Old Republic or World of Warcraft is better? Look no further. I've spent hours upon hours playing both and have decided to give you an idea of how both games compare to one another.

as a mainly EVE player, i tottaly hated wow [and most of all theme park games] it gets repetitive fast, boring and it usually has really childish community. i dont think it will ever change. i am playing swtor since the early access and i still enjoy it very much. i do keep in mind, with all the gliches and bugs it has now, that it is a MONTH old game unlike wow. it will have a lot of fixes and add ons. wow had time to fix things, alot of time. people seem to forget that.

@SoraQuasar I'll be sitting here waiting. For now it has way too many issues to be in the same league as most other MMOs in 2012.

How does this guy get off thinking he knows anything about what is caused by the engine as opposed to any other of a number of things?

@Ospire It's just my intuition. I'm a Computer Science major and have a good feel for game qualities. I'm willing to bet that the ability delay and discontinuity will linger forever, unfixed. That's because it's an engine issue that can't be addressed.

@Newway1975 If you provide some reasons for why you hate WoW it'll go a long way.

They are very different styles of game, even though they are technically the same genre. I played WoW and I felt that the community was nonexistent. this could have been because I started playing a lot later than the majority of users, but that shouldnt be the case. With Star Wars, i haven't experienced any problems that cant be explained by the fact that it has been out just over a month. In my opinion SWTOR is a better game, but that is because i prefer the way the quests are handed out.

@baskyn544 WoW is also the most successful MMO today. People want to know which is better.

[baskyn544]

Stop fucking comparing to WoW. WoW is a copy of everquest, stop with the bs.

@aggbala Don't get me wrong, I don't really like the Cataclysm raids. However, Raid Finder, Transmogrification, returning to the main continents of Azeroth, and a few other things make it REALLY fun for someone who like me who can't play hardcore anymore. I'd still say it's worth than Wrath of the Lich King, but the game is still sporting lots of goodies!
