Im playing yet another 10 day free trial version of WoW.
A friend of mine went out and bought it.
So far the combat is a lot slower than what im useta in SWG and dont get me started on movement
One of the first quests you get in SWG is to help make you a speeder.
I told all my friends I would try it again though, so I am.

I can't stand it, being stuck on a quest based system that makes my brain hurt anytime I try a new toon out bothers me. Only thing that kept me going for as long as I was would have been the WSG runs which I throughly rocked nightly.
"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as and I believe that they should our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future for us."

maybe it changes as you level up, and depends on your class, but combat becomes quite fast at high levels (especially pvp)Genie wrote:Im playing yet another 10 day free trial version of WoW.

considering if you get lucky/unlucky its not uncommon to 3 shot people and such.
mobs HP doesnt scale well with damage so at higher levels if you spec right you can output a lot of damage much faster than the mobs HP will hold up.
not sure why you dont like the movement though =/ maybe you dont play a lot of FPS, its the same system really
WoW is more centralized with mouse movement. You control most of the movement in the game by using more than one part of the mouse. for instance, to rotate the screen you need to hold the left mouse button and move the mouse. To move forward, you hold the central mouse button and it walks forward.
SWG allows more of a linear movement when pertaining to the mouse control in more than one way. Especially when you consider the alt-lock SWG has (When you hit alt, it locks in yer crosshairs to the center of the screen. Any movement of the mouse moves yer pov) When I scroll the mouse too far left or right, ths screen moves left or right. Plus movement seems faster in SWG; that might be to my settings.
I dunno, WoW just doesnt appeal to me, either compared to SWG Pre-CU to the current installment; SWG stands taller. A friend of mine irl bought WoW earlier last week and gave me the 10 day trial. Hes been playing it m ore than me and more often and he agrees that SWG seems to be more fun. It could be that we arent high enough level to really appeal in WoW, but there are interface elements to it that make me say no.
In any case, ive tried yer game. When you gonna come try mine?

Key "W" as well as holding both left and right mouse button moves forward too.Genie wrote:WoW is more centralized with mouse movement.

I havent played SWG, but it sounds like holding down the right mouse button simulates this, just without the key lock.Genie wrote: SWG allows more of a linear movement when pertaining to the mouse control in more than one way.

How does one move forward, back, etc in SWG?

I don't use the mouse for movement at all. I use it for targeting, and casting spells. wasd for movement 100% of the time.Genie wrote:WoW is more centralized with mouse movement.

For the record, having played them both. As much as i liked SWG, WoW is a much better system for movement. It actually reminds me of d2 meeting CS.SWG allows more of a linear movement when pertaining to the mouse control in more than one way.

WoW is a totally different game than pre-cu, and both are good in very different ways. SWG is more realistic, had a better skill system, people playing were much more mature, and for me i think the world is quite a bit more interesting. Most pvp is the same thing, over and over again. Be it a Barb with WW/Zerk. A Rifleman with HS3. Or a Priest (my class) with Mindblast, MindFlay, Shadow Word: Pain, Silence, Mana burn, Power word Shield, Psychic scream, Dispel and the upcoming Shadow word: Death. Not to mention all of my healing spells or buffs.I dunno, WoW just doesnt appeal to me, either compared to SWG Pre-CU to the current installment; SWG stands taller.

I think you see where im going with that. PvP is a LOT more complex in WoW than in any game ive ever played.
Factor in SWG lost all of its skill planning and character building. It's no contest for me. Although i do wish they'd change the PvP ranking. Other than that. Having fun.

There probably isn't any meaning in life. Perhaps you can find something interesting to do while you are alive. Like how you found that flower. Like how I found you.

They will be changing the PvP ranking come the expansion. Right now, the amount of honor you need to rank up next week depends on how much honor everyone else on the server earned. You can knock yourself out and stay the same rank, because a bunch of others did too. Or the inverse can happen, where you go nuts, and end up being being tops honor and ranking further. This has been complicated somewhat by how easy it is to get into BGs now. You can do them bam bam bam. This makes the total honor pool for all the servers real high, and each person's contribution smaller as a percentage, making it hard to rank up. In BC, you'll no longer be competing against others for rank, but you'll earn it at specific honor targets. You'll know how much you'll need to rank up, and it won't depend on how everyone else did. Honor decay is also supposed to disappear.
That doesn't mean a grind to High Warlord is going to take any less time. Just more predictable. And if you take a couple weeks off at rank 12, you won't drop back to 9 because you stopped.

EQ2 is also getting a new xpack soon, but in November. Would be the perfect time to start to play EQ2 if you've never tried it. It's a tight knit family of level 70 pvpers reminiscent of SWG rather than a million people you've never seen in game before.

I don't mind it being hard. And im always a fan of decay. I just really, really don't like the fact that in order to get to rank 13 you have to basically play 24/7.
I dont have the kinda time, and as a priest... the only really GOOD pvp set is at rank 13.
Anyway, new system is fine and cool i hope. I also hope there is a reason to pvp. Not that it ever stopped me in d2.

On Daggerspine, there is a Druid named Kuroma. He has been GM for close to a year, never once has he lost the title. He has 290,000 lifetime kills to this day, and is first in the WORLD.RoamingMadness wrote:I don't mind it being hard. And im always a fan of decay.

He has other buddies in his guild who sit up in the GM position for months, just cock blocking others from achieving it.
I threw in the towel halfway to Rank 12.
Yeah, that crap will be gone. The big improvement Roam, is you WON'T have to grind 24/7 to achieve the higher ranks because you'll no longer be competing with others for them. You can do it at your pace. It will probably still require the same amount of hours, but you don't have to cram honor in week after week just to prevent yourself from going down.
Old Man.
there wont be any ranks anymore, youll get honor tokens and arena points which you'll spend to buy your pvp gear.
no more retarded grind, and anyways i only got to rank8 i was too lazy to go any higher.
EDIT apparently, the gear upgrades from questing 60-70 will easily outpace any raid gear, so its a good time to play catch up especially once the arena seasons start, everyone will be on an even playing field using quested gear and then you can get your pvp/arena gear at whatever pace you'd like.
although i'd like some raid gear, i can see myself getting some arena/pvp goodies for sure.
also the change to orc blood fury rocks, especially as a warlock.
