Yeah, it's just not as smooth as it should be.

Sadly, WoW is still one of the only MMO's out there with really good character control.

SWTOR is basically WoW in the future, without the polish. The questing is exactly the same.

I got to level 10 and went to the Imperial Fleet, did my first and only Warzone a little bit ago. Topped the chart in kills/damage(Sniper), and then realized I was already getting bored

It has a few cool things though. Like your companions able to go sell your loot for you, or gather crafting materials, and help you quest. The whole premise is awesome, just needs to be implemented better. Having Jedi leap at you from 100 ft away is cool, and it's not at the same time, lol.

Your insight is astounding. Truly you are a visionary worthy of praise and worship the world over.

That is all...

Post count just means you spend too much time reading and not enough playing.

That is better than the Death Knight pulling you to them.

The usual sequence of release for new MMOs:

1- pre-beta hype begins to grow within the masses
2- beta proves to be fun, interesting and new
3- game is released and boredom sets in within weeks
4- players return to their original game

SWTOR is failing on step 2. I don't think it will scratch WoW subscriptions for more than a few weeks or a month at most. Unfortunate.

Skyrim is pretty fun. I haven't spent any of my perks yet though. Thinking of trying a thief-like character maybe. The warrior or mage are probably easier though.

going with thief as well. so far, the game is a bit overwhelming...i just feel the need to explore, but also want to do the quests...it seems amazingly huge!

need a day where i have no family at home, and order in...

I've heard that the combat in Skyrim is less than spectacular, at least not what people were expecting. For melee anyways, people have said that magic/casting seems to be the way to go.

I'm still waiting on my CE in the mail, or would have just bought the regular one to find out myself.

I can't wait until the combat of Demon/Dark Souls becomes the "par for the course" combat mechanics.

Can you even imagine how awesome a Dark Souls styled combat, mixed with a Ultima Online style world MMO would be?
