SWTOR .............
Re: SWTOR .............
Getting.... um..... Burnt out perhaps?
I've been looking forward to this game I would say "hardcore" since December 2010. I even finished building my new computer to be able to run this game smoothly (ultra settings without any hiccups ) But I'm finding myself more and more yearning to play Warcraft on this WOTLK private server, and a few times coming PRETTY close to renewing with Retail (its what private server people call it) WOW. Closest I came was I started entering my CC information to renew for a month. The RealID raid finder thats coming out seems pretty cool and I did want to try the newer 5 mans (i quit before the deathwing patch came out).
In SWTOR i'm loving the gameplay, loving the quests, but I just don't have a "drive" to level as I would many times over when leveling a new character in WOW. I'm only level 33 right now, ironically slowly taking my time and pace so I wouldn't get burned out on the game right away, but ugh...
For the first few weeks I didn't look back, but this past week this Warcraft demon in the form of a lackadaisical Private WOW server has got me
Any of you other SWTOR folks feel similar?
I guess one thing after thinking about it for a couple minutes, I haven't tried out any other characters yet. Still just playing the Sith Warrior. Maybe creating a Bounty Hunter would renew the drive again

Tbh with you.. No I havent. There was a patch released just today and playing alts does help! Dont focus solely on one toon but rather two or three. You cant forget that this isnt like WoW where every character is the same doing the same thing NO MATTER WHAT these characters all have their individual story classlines where they're all striving to accomplish something. Thats what I focus on, what am I doing? Why am I doing it? Take your time and it'll be easier, thats how it is for me at least. I have a 31 sith sorcerer, 20 sith juggernaut(new main), 18 sniper, 11 commando, and a few others strung around here and there. If you dont grind solely one thing its easier trust me.

Re: SWTOR .............
And also, no, I do not feel that way Royi. Perhaps all you needed was a small break from WoW to realize how much you really loved WoW or something. For me, WoW was dragging and I just couldn't bear to log in and now SW:TOR is filling the gap that WoW had created for me.
Everyone's different and everyone will feel differently about the game. If you're dragging in SW:TOR, either try a different class, or allow yourself to go and enjoy WoW for a while. Don't try to cram down your WoW cravings just because, perhaps, SW:TOR didn't live up to its hype for you or something. There's certainly nothing wrong with either enjoying both games at the same time, or swapping back and forth between the two as the urge arises.

Re: SWTOR .............
Thats what i'm going to do I'm going to try out Republic for a bit. I'm pretty excited about leveling a Jedi Guardian character. I really would just like a 3 day pass for WOW, because I know if I would go back I would be tired and bored after about.... 3days. It would be fun to do the new things for a couple days, but then it would be the same old' same old'. I'll try and get into a bigger guild Republic side too, see how that works out.TygerDarkstorm wrote:If you're dragging in SW:TOR, either try a different class, or allow yourself to go and enjoy WoW for a while.

The private server WOW works as a pretty good nicotine-wow-patch for me in the meantime. Wow is cigarettes, free-wow is a nicotine patch, and SWTOR is really good legal marijuana.
Re: SWTOR .............
On the brightside I found out that you can have friends come with you in your starship. I had a friend join me with a few quests and we thought "might as well try" to see if he could come and travel to the next planet in my ship. So theres an option to view how other ships are designed too!
Yay internets! I'm going to start playing a bounty hunter, the companions for them I think are the best out of all 8 classes.

Also, Torian's piddly combat skills and overall squishiness tend to keep me from using him, even though I kept his gear almost as good as mine. Basically only used him to max his affection for a relationship. Been finding more and more use for Skadge as my preferred tanking companion for Belsavis and Voss.

Re: SWTOR .............
I have a sith sorcerer .. female twi lek and I'm kinda wanting to make another inquisitor to go with the other choice but I can't decide what race >< I am thinking about making a male and at first I was leaning towards sith but then I made a human for the heck of it .. and now I'm really liking how the human came out but I *Still* want to make a sith ...
Halp!
Edit :are any of you having problems talking to your companions? I keep getting the icon on Aric but when I get to the hangar, nothing.

Re: SWTOR .............
Also, nothing wrong with three inquisitors; perhaps it'll take three before you decide which one or two you like the best, or maybe inquisitors are just your thing. Also, Sith Warriors are another alternative for playing a pureblood, human, or zabrak if you want to experience the race and not just the class. I love my juggernaut DPS warrior.

Re: SWTOR .............
I'm playing Vy'ala much like a typical pureblood, but she took Vette's slave collar because she sees no use for such tools to keep her slaves in line. I was having oodles of fun last night making Quinn squirm around by flirting with him as he was trying to give me my assignment. xD
Also, if you really want to make a third inquisitor, I say go for it. There's no reason not to make multiple race/class combos if you have the room until you find one or two you really click with, and as a bonus, each inquisitor AC offers a totally different playstyle.
