Title: SWTOR
Post by: Casiella on 30 Jul 2010, 10:09: I figure there's at least some overlap between EVE players and gamers with interest in SWTOR, if for no other reason than that we don't have enough SF-themed MMORPGs.

Anyone else here watching this? I saw Nar Shaddaa was announced today, which made me giddier than probably is healthy.

Oh, wait, that's my SWG experience biting me in the ass again.

Once.

Then people won't play it much anymore.

I suggest BioWare is in over their heads.

Post by: Casiella on 30 Jul 2010, 16:29: I believe that you could play it thru at least 8 times, once per class, as they each have their own storylines in addition to whatever else they put into it.

The game won't turn into a lifestyle choice like EVE has, at least not for me, but a group of us at work will probably have a "Wednesday night group" or something to run dungeons or whatever together. And I have enough friends from SWG intending to play that I'll at least explore their server, assuming they don't single-shard it (which I don't expect).

Post by: Esna Pitoojee on 31 Jul 2010, 20:41: I can't see SWTOR becoming as big in my life as EVE is, for two simple reasons:

1, I don't have the cash for a permanent MMO subscription. I don't make huge light of it, but I'm mostly playing EVE on ISK-bought PLEXs, and only occasionally tapping my RL money for subscription fees.

2, RL time allotment. I'm hugely in love with EVE's strategic/competative nature, as well as the tactical knowledge required to win PvP engagements. I just can't fall that much in love with an MMO that doesn't feature such, although SWTOR's addition of dynamically changing "classes" is a step in the right direction.

Agreed.

I heard one of the devs say in an interview that this game is KOTOR 3 through wherever they end up after expansions, but as much as I want to play it I'm not expecting much. I will definitely go through it once as a bounty hunter and maybe as a sith, but unless there's some good RP to be had I doubt Ill stay with it.
