    Oh so then if I say DA2 sucks and that proves TOR will suck and that Bioware is becoming a failed company, you would accept that as true. After all you TOR fans want everyone to take your opinion of ANet as fact, well then you need to take this as fact too. Or are you a hypocrite that is just defending his love child of a game?

    Bioware has Numerous GOTY games with millions of box sales, Arenanet has made 1 game with expansions.  I will take Bioware's track record any day over arenanet.

    By all means, DO THAT. No, seriously, TAKE IT.

    You'll note that no-one here is claiming that Bioware sucks. It's only the lashing out of SW:TOR fans who have to fill this thread with negative (and spurious, and disingenuous) comments about their assumed competitor. It's only SW:TOR fans who are treating this as a zero-sum game.

    Really, have ypi been to the SWTOR forum on here? Have you seen the outright lies that the trolls put on their while praising the almighty GW2?

    In Bioware we trust!

    And Bioware is just a division of EA and they have made some really bad games too! So what is your point, besides the fact that you are in love with Bioware and you want to have their babies?

    So the correct answer is to stoop to the level of your lowest competitor?  :(

    Do the same thing I do when reading crazy posts against GW2 from SW:ToR people!  Pretend that they recently suffered a very tragic death in the family and the emotional upset and loss has caused them to temporarily lose their senses.

    Thats honestly all I see when watching guild wars 2 gameplay, It loook just like any old school mmo but with less abilities and a dodge button.

    I don't care about innovation I care about fun.

    Right, most of the SWTOR guys I know of are looking forward to both games, how many times do you see a GW2 fan try and belittle TOR in their "GW2 is going to be the bestest thing ever" posts?

    How many TOR fans tear down GW2 in the TOR forums? How many TOR fans do you see roaming the GW2 forum, aside from those who are actually interested in both games? How many do you see starting these GW2 will pwn SWTOR threads about TOR?

    The only thing the average TOR fan get's up in arms about is misinformation and doom saying. Which there has been an abundance of. Other than that, the constant whining for a SWG2.

    Most will be the first to tell you maybe TOR just isn't what you're looking for. They're not the ones out trying to push their Idea of a good game on everyone else.

    Hmm. Personally I'd consider NWN an MORPG/CORPG in its tooling set capacity and usage, maybe the only player-run MMO game that exists image

    It really hurts my feelings to realize that even though you're reading our posts, you're not actually listening to any of us. :(

    I'm listening, I'm only not regarding it all as advice or wisdom. Besides the fact that I didn't consider you a madman, but if you feel inclined, just tell me where I should send the men in white to, consider them a delivery service from me, they'll have a nice jacket for you with long sleeves, no thanks needed, it's a gift image

    Baulder’s gate and Neverwinter Nights are a CO-RPG that can be considered an MMO, really? That is news to me, the closes one would be Neverwinter but Baulder’s gate doesn’t come even close.

    And all I see in TOR is idiots going I heal I heal I heal, so what is your point. That you do not like GW2 and you need to go out of your way to bash it, so your game of choice looks better. Well good job, your heal bot looks awesome now.

    yes, but I think the real question is this.  Is it fun to realize your group wiped because you got feared off of a cliff, something that wouldn't have happened if you just learned to either avoid cliffs or stun the necromancers lots?  I think it is fun to have to use actual strategy to win a battle.  The action combat just makes it more fun than it already is...dodge...1...0

    Heh a voice of reason.  Look, I have criticism of SWTOR as well, they probably should have waited on the space portion for example, playable alien races etc.. But you mention one criticism about GW2 and people have a cow.

    He's trying to imply that GW1 can be "considered an MMO". lol  Even ArenaNet isn't daft enough to try that.
