SWTOR - Cademimu Boss

[TheWGL]

Hey guys,

We have been playing a bit of SWTOR and started to make a few videos however we would really love some feedback so if anyone could take a look and tell us what you think it would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks!

[Joe]

Pretty cool especially with advice on how to kill certain bosses, I'll watch more if you make them once I get to the certain FPs

[TheWGL]

Thanks mate!

We have a few more on our channel already but they are more recordings of live streams we have done. We also have a guild if your looking for people to play with! We are based in London as well!

Not a fan if im honest. I keep just looking back at EVEonline. MMORPG perfection IMO

[CILLIT BANG]

SWO = only mmo with a challange ..., (without thoes amazing spreadsheets of eve ofc .. like paying for a second ofice job ftw)
keep the vids comming i believe my sw guild will be making some too befor long (focus on pvp vids for long term sucess) <------- extreeme drunkness while wrighting this

[Zanziba'ar]

EVE is a challenge. hardest game there is. you cant spend 2 years working on something in SWO and have someone fuck it up in 2 minutes and thats it. end of. like you can in EVE can you?

[TheWGL]

Yeh EVE was/is pretty special.

Hopefully have another video up this week glad you guys liked the first one!

I watch this and just think.. yeah GW was good. we dont want a reskin

It would have been nice to see even a bit of innovation aside from the improvement in questing. I mean, everything in that video looks like WoW. The movement, the combat, the interface, the dungeons, the party roles, all identical to WoW, but with a different skin.

everything in star wars seems to have a meaning whereas wow was just here have some gear and star wars is way better than the lord of the rings based fantasy dribble you get fed with any fantasy game ^^

The movement, the combat, the interface, the dungeons, the party roles, all identical to WoW, but with a different skin. <--- you obv have not played lol its all very different just need to play to realise eg the movement is a MASSIVE difference and alot more important in pvp combat = reqires skill to be good on 1 on 1 fights etc

but worse LOLSUP I was doing a warsong gulch earlier Nick and it was the strangest thing, what i wanted to happen on the screen, are you ready for this, actually happened on the screen. Heres how i can explain it, SWToR and WoW are like starcraft 1 and 2, the only reason people think swtor (starcraft 1) is harder is because the game just doesnt work well, it has clear flaws which make little things like combat difficult e.g. auto attack being a seperate move this means to wait to interrupt a heal you CANT be autoattacking as it will put a GCD on your inturrupt. WoW on the other hand (starcraft 2) has these flaws ironed out meaning that gameplay is A LOT smoother and somethink it is a lot easier because they know what to do.

TL;DR not harder just worse game mechanics making it seem harder

Except that metaphor is flawed for a number of reasons which aren't really relevant.
The autoattack mechanic is better, I think, I imagine it would be difficult to use a lightsaber and cast a spell at the same time. And to an element of gameplay, it means you actually might have to manage what abilities you use once in a while.

Secondly, positioning and cognition are actually important in SWTOR, compared to WoW where most of the time you just sit and do a rotation, with an occasional interrupt when they're casting a heal.

if its so flawed why is wow copying it in kung fu panda? :/

Not only are they not copying it, e.g there is no auto attack button its going to be skills that cost nothing so you choose, they will probably do it better. SwToR might make it better but i dont think it will be in the end.

And yeah i understand managing skills is good but when you cant manage skills when you do not know what the enemy's going to do most heals on starwars are a max of 1 second, thats like GCD. It has good PvE but the PvP on it seems flawed, not balance wise just the way the game works.
