TOr has raiding and much other end game content. The Daniel quote is takien out of context. He was explaining that the raids will be hard and that it is for seasoned players with fully decked out toons. If raiding is NOT your cup of tea then you can reroll.
Nowhere did they say the focus of endgame was rerolling. But they did say they encourage it.
Summary of what daniel said minus the PR bs
The raid will not be as difficult/challenging as other mmo but it'll still provide decent challenge. If many player prefer raid as oppose to reroll as end game content we will consider bumping up the difficulty but currently our stand is that only hardcore mmo player like difficult raid.
As for the reroll focus as end game content. I think it's resonable to acknowledge that since they planned out different story for each class and encourage reroll. Comparing the amount of effort put in making raid/pvp to providing alternative experience for reroll is where i base my point.
But i think i've proven myself enough for general mmo forum user to do their own research. Moving on....
PS: if your not rolling alt then you're missing out a major chunk of the content ^^

I don't see what's so wrong about having the opportunity to reroll as a portion of End Game. Sure kicks WoW in the pants, where rerolling is simply picking one of the same classes with a diffrent race, or vise versa. You seem to be focused way too much on the option of making alts, instead of paying attention to the many other alternatives that have been set before you.
Yes, rerolling alts is what they'd prefer to push, probably because of all the money and press they've spent of emphasising story; that said, I think it is very unfair to say they don't care as much about PVP or Raiding - especially since they ADDED World PVP and a whole new operation ( raid ). They did't always have that, but they knew fans wanted it so they buckled down.
I think that shows they're at least considerate of the demands and expectations of their playerbase.

So basicallly what you're saying is that just because they made rerolling a alt a thousand times better than any mmo to date that just has to be the only endgame focus? So every other option that there is for end game, raids, crafting, pvp, end game solo content, is automatically tossed out the window just because people may actually want to roll new toons? Yea, that makes next to no sense at all.
I'll take the game that will actually be a new expeirence each time I want to roll a alt along with, raids, crafting, pvp and end game solo content to the one that has nothing to offer but a never ending PvP grind fest any day of the week tyvm. If all I wanted was a PvP party I can play LoL for that and its even better than B2P, its F2P.

Lol nice joke guys!
In WOW i can level up to 4 characters of the same faction without repeating 1 quest, there are many areas for the same levels.
I can't do that in SWTOR, i can't even level up 2 characters of the same faction without repeating about 80% of it's quests.
Saying that SWTOR has better alt replayability is just plain wrong.

lol, are you for real or just trolling? I'm sorry, I played WoW from beta till just 1 month ago and I dont ever recall doing anything other than the same freaking quest with each new ult for about the first 15-20 levels. I also dont recall there being totally different quest lines for each and every single class in the game either and not just the bs 4-5 that almost always have to be done in a instance and that are basically worthless now that you find in WoW.
The only difference in expeirence in WoW when rerolling a alt is if you are killing 15 boars and wolves with swords or with magic fireballs. I loved the game for years but to say otherwise is just a joke.
No im not joking.
I don't why are you repeating the same quests the first 15-20 levels, wow currently has 10 different starting areas (6 at launch)
SWTOR has what... 4? am i right?
In WOW you have like 3 or 4 different areas to level up for 1-10, 10-20, 20-30 etc.
In SWTOR you will be doing exactly the same quests for each character of the same factions.
Yes you have your own personal story but those aren't even 10% of all the quests you will do on your way up to lvl 50.
WoW has been out for how long? SWTOR has been out for how long? Argument over since comparing apple to oranges is just plain stupid. Now if you want to go back and talk about the brand new WoW. Well, that is not nearly so impressive though is it?
"If half of what you tell me is a lie, how can I believe any of it?"

WoW still had more alt replayability at launch than SWTOR....
More starting areas, more areas to choose where to lvl up...
Remember, im replying to people saying that "SWTOR has the best alt replayability EVER it puts to shame every other mmorpg on that aspect" well... no... it's basically Rift (in quest content) with some story quests for each class.

Hey guys... I wish we could have an intelligent conversation about the topic? Some of us like a variety of games and playstyles and could give a fuck about game versus game epeen battles.
question what exactly is the legacy system? aslo I thought i heard that there will be a planet for solo endgame, what happened with that?

Yes, there are 3-4 different areas to level up in..... with the same EXACT quest in every zone. Roll a hunter, same quest, roll a warrior, same quest, mage, same, shammy, same, etc etc etc. You can change your class all you want and you will forever and always find the same quest in everyzone that every other class finds. And after 6+ years I've done them all pal and it got boring real fast.
Wrong and I dont know if you just havent tried the game and are going of someone elses lies or are just trolling. EACH and EVERY class in SWTOR has their OWN UNIQUE class quest line. You roll a jedi knight, UNIQUE quest, bounty hunter, UNIQUE quest, trooper, UNIQUE quest, etc etc etc.
Last of all the story quest doesnt end at lvl 10 or 20 in SWTOR. It follows you through out the whole game. Spin it all you want but there is no way you will ever be able to convince any LONG time player of WoW that has played SWTOR that it has better replayability unless they are just blind.
i hear alot of you in this thread talking about the NEED to roll alts, go raiding, pvp to progress ingame.
Just one guy (lord.bachus) and me actually want to play this game for fun??
Dont get me wrong......making progress IS fun, i get that but the way i hear you guys talking about it sounds more like a job.....poor gamers
I realy dont care if it takes me a whole f****** year to get to max lvl....realy.
now go play and have fun.
TY so very much for putting it just right. Just like I've posted, I dont see a reason why anyone HAS to do any one thing and nothing else. I look for mmos with the most options cause for me the more options= more fun in the long run and thats why I play, for fun.

Last of all the story quest doesnt end at lvl 10 or 20 in SWTOR. It follows you through out the whole game. Spin it all you want but there is no way you will ever be able to convince any LONG time player of WoW that has played SWTOR that it has better replayability unless they are just blind.
Lol yeah because SWTOR quests are different.
PL-ease, they are just fedex quests with "bonus" kill 10 space rats, etc.
Yes, in SWTOR each class has unique story quests, but again... those are only 10 % of the quests required to lvl up to 50.
You can believe me or not, do some research about the game, i really don't care xD.

Only 10% of the quest are different between classes? Can someone confirm this? If so then i get what you guys mean by "rerolling alt is not the main focus of ToR"...wow this is something new to me and here i thought it's all different with maybe 20-30% the same. If this is true then i may be getting too much bs from the bioware PR.
Raiding be any better than TOR or any other mmo..... no
Crafting be any better than TOR or any other mmo..... no
PvP be better than than TOR or any other mmo..... for rabid fanboy PvPers it may will be, yes. Guess thats the only main focus of GW2. Have fun paying $60+ for a glorified MOBA.
Will rerolling a alt be any better than TOR or any other mmo..... not a snowballs chance in hell.
Any while we're pointing out typos, its spelled you're, not ur, and no, I am not but you sure as hell are a GW2 fanboy if you can actively mislead others with what are basically lies with little to no basis just for no other reason than this game isn't GW2.
If you open a thread in gw2 forum i'm happy to debate on how it is better ^^
As of now this is a ToR forum as previous poster have pointed out.
All out nerd rage and chopping on my game of preference does not help you win argument, valid point do.

Okay, this post is where I lost respect for you channel84. I actually don't disagree with you that at aleast PART of the focus for endgame is for you to reroll and try an alt. The Developer had admitted that several times even going so far as to say that the eight different story lines tie together to paint an even bigger story. The does not make it THE FOCUS of endgame though. It makes it an aspect of endgame. Just as crafting, raiding, flashpoints, PvP, solo questing, and group questing are all aspects of endgame.
What really killed my respect for your point of view though is how you seem to say that SWTOR lacks CONTENT at endgame. Something that simply is not true, especially when compared to the content at release of pretty much any other MMO released in the last 10 years. This game already has more endgame content than even some games that have been for several years.
I won't bother with talking about GW2 since this IS the SWTOR forum. But I will say that it is amazing how many of it's fans can't help but try to sleaze around other games forums. Really immature in my opinion. I just try to stay away from the forums of games I don't like personally.
Question: What is the main end game focus for ToR in your opinion? (pick from crafting, raiding, flashpoints, PvP, solo questing, and group questing and rerolling alt)
FYI i'm not saying that ToR is lacking in end game content, i'm saying rerolling is a major endgame feature for ToR. Take that or leave it at that.
One guy saying that i said "rerolling is ToR ONLY end game" now another come and say i said "ToR lack endgame content" Get a grip guys sheez.
PS: Lets not make this a personal attack, let's stick with point, fact, argument and opinion
You can also look at it in different way, even if rerolling alt is "major endgame content" they have already finished 1-50 content, so they don't need to focus on it anymore. Now they can focus on other end game content (operations, flashpoints, pvp, level 50 story content, etc).
It's probally be worthless like WoW's endgame, no point to raiding in WoW at all due to no use for the gear anymore (other than raids), if the raid gear could be used in pvp though thats a diff story. IMO mmo's should have a faction vs faction pvp endgame, but also have some raiding stuff for the carebears. A combo of both is best, but judging from the quality of swtor so far. I wouldn't expect much. Game is just a more linear version of world of warcraft at its core, with nothing unique to it really. I wouldn't expect much endgame wise.
Being a pessimist is a win-win pattern of thinking. If you're a pessimist (I'll admit that I am!) you're either:
A. Proven right (if something bad happens)
or
B. Pleasantly surprised (if something good happens)
TOr has raiding and much other end game content. The Daniel quote is takien out of context. He was explaining that the raids will be hard and that it is for seasoned players with fully decked out toons. If raiding is NOT your cup of tea then you can reroll.
Nowhere did they say the focus of endgame was rerolling. But they did say they encourage it.
Summary of what daniel said minus the PR bs
The raid will not be as difficult/challenging as other mmo but it'll still provide decent challenge. If many player prefer raid as oppose to reroll as end game content we will consider bumping up the difficulty but currently our stand is that only hardcore mmo player like difficult raid.
As for the reroll focus as end game content. I think it's resonable to acknowledge that since they planned out different story for each class and encourage reroll. Comparing the amount of effort put in making raid/pvp to providing alternative experience for reroll is where i base my point.
But i think i've proven myself enough for general mmo forum user to do their own research. Moving on....
PS: if your not rolling alt then you're missing out a major chunk of the content ^^
I don't see what's so wrong about having the opportunity to reroll as a portion of End Game. Sure kicks WoW in the pants, where rerolling is simply picking one of the same classes with a diffrent race, or vise versa. You seem to be focused way too much on the option of making alts, instead of paying attention to the many other alternatives that have been set before you.
Yes, rerolling alts is what they'd prefer to push, probably because of all the money and press they've spent of emphasising story; that said, I think it is very unfair to say they don't care as much about PVP or Raiding - especially since they ADDED World PVP and a whole new operation ( raid ). They did't always have that, but they knew fans wanted it so they buckled down.
I think that shows they're at least considerate of the demands and expectations of their playerbase.

So basicallly what you're saying is that just because they made rerolling a alt a thousand times better than any mmo to date that just has to be the only endgame focus?
Lol nice joke guys!
In WOW i can level up to 4 characters of the same faction without repeating 1 quest, there are many areas for the same levels.
I can't do that in SWTOR, i can't even level up 2 characters of the same faction without repeating about 80% of it's quests.
Saying that SWTOR has better alt replayability is just plain wrong.
lol, are you for real or just trolling? I'm sorry, I played WoW from beta till just 1 month ago and I dont ever recall doing anything other than the same freaking quest with each new ult for about the first 15-20 levels. I also dont recall there being totally different quest lines for each and every single class in the game either and not just the bs 4-5 that almost always have to be done in a instance and that are basically worthless now that you find in WoW.
The only difference in expeirence in WoW when rerolling a alt is if you are killing 15 boars and wolves with swords or with magic fireballs. I loved the game for years but to say otherwise is just a joke.
No im not joking.
I don't why are you repeating the same quests the first 15-20 levels, wow currently has 10 different starting areas (6 at launch)
SWTOR has what... 4? am i right?
In WOW you have like 3 or 4 different areas to level up for 1-10, 10-20, 20-30 etc.
In SWTOR you will be doing exactly the same quests for each character of the same factions.
Yes you have your own personal story but those aren't even 10% of all the quests you will do on your way up to lvl 50.
10 different starting areas but some of which you have to share with multiple races unless you want to spend the first 10 mins of the game running, flying or taking the tram to a different races starting zone. So yea, the way you put it is misleading to say the least.
Yes, there are 3-4 different areas to level up in..... with the same EXACT quest in every zone. Roll a hunter, same quest, roll a warrior, same quest, mage, same, shammy, same, etc etc etc. You can change your class all you want and you will forever and always find the same quest in everyzone that every other class finds. And after 6+ years I've done them all pal and it got boring real fast.
Wrong and I dont know if you just havent tried the game and are going of someone elses lies or are just trolling. EACH and EVERY class in SWTOR has their OWN UNIQUE class quest line. You roll a jedi knight, UNIQUE quest, bounty hunter, UNIQUE quest, trooper, UNIQUE quest, etc etc etc.

You can believe me or not, do some research about the game, i really don't care xD.
Yea, I dont have to do any research cause I'VE PLAYED IT for myself. I just didnt watch a few videos and start running off at the mouth like some of these yahoos do. So your "they are all just fedex quest" line of bullshit is just that, and the fact you even have to the balls to try to play that card after playing WoW just shows you're trolling. WoW DEFINED the fedex quest.
Yes, alot of quest do have a "bonus" quest added to the quest lines, something else WoW doesnt have.
Yes, SWTOR does have unique story quest, something again that WoW never had or probably never will, thus making SWTOR more replayable.
Listen, I've forgotten more about WoW than most people will ever know. Your whole post here is just nonsense. I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and just go with the fact you really didnt know that much about TOR but by this time I have to admit your just talking bs.
Dudes, the blind hate on SWTOR is amazing. WoW fans, GW2 fans, sandbox fans...They're all nerdraging upon the simple fact that SWTOR will be hugely successful. And I tell you, this is good. Hate is always a good sign.
No one cares about losers, no need to beat a dead horse. Winners are the ones who are, and always will be, hated.

Agreed. I think this will hopefully die down after the game comes out. Actually I won't care I'll be too busy running my guild and having a damn good time.
When that happens all that will be left in this forum will probably be people going back and forth about how much they hate the game, until GW 2 comes out.
After what I have seen and tried I felt very comfortable recommending this game to all my friends that is 40 people who have no interest in raids or hard core we plan on having multiple characters and living the storyline, hell when mass effect came to pc we all talked on teamspeak while playing that game and had months of fun.
Speaking to PC Gamer in its new 'MMO issue', the game's creative director James Olhen said:
"We're looking at classic [endgame] systems, but we're also doing something brand new that hasn't been done in an MMO before. So we're going to mix those two together."
Olhen then got hushed by the game's product manager, but added that Bioware was keen for players to continue questing after hitting maximum.
"We want to make sure the endgame isn't completely different to what you have been doing," he said. "So there will be a natural progression... We want to make sure that when people play ToR they feel like they never run out of content... that it's an epic story."
You're being pretty selective in what you take out of that quote.
Looks like he said it will be mainly the same but we're doing "something" new as well.
Didn't really sound like he said it was coin to revolutionize MMOs or anything. A bit of context is always nice

So every other option that there is for end game, raids, crafting, pvp, end game solo content, is automatically tossed out the window just because people may actually want to roll new toons? Yea, that makes next to no sense at all.
I'll take the game that will actually be a new expeirence each time I want to roll a alt along with, raids, crafting, pvp and end game solo content to the one that has nothing to offer but a never ending PvP grind fest any day of the week tyvm. If all I wanted was a PvP party I can play LoL for that and its even better than B2P, its F2P.
Lol nice joke guys!

You totally convinced me to cancel my pre ordered CE and go back to WoW!!!!
/scarcasm off
The following statement is false
The previous statement is true
They've stated that the class quests are unique for each.
WoW has been out for how long? SWTOR has been out for how long? Argument over since comparing apple to oranges is just plain stupid. Now if you want to go back and talk about the brand new WoW. Well, that is not nearly so impressive though is it?
"If half of what you tell me is a lie, how can I believe any of it?"
Ignoring that ToR will be competing againts a 5 year old wow with tons of content is just plain stupid. There is a reason why rift with all it's shinny gfx cannot dethrone WoW.
WoW still had more alt replayability at launch than SWTOR....
More starting areas, more areas to choose where to lvl up...
Remember, im replying to people saying that "SWTOR has the best alt replayability EVER it puts to shame every other mmorpg on that aspect" well... no... it's basically Rift (in quest content) with some story quests for each class.
"Esport with tournaments is for hardcore pvp'rs that want to be competitive. Openworld PVP with ganking and griefing is for casuals that just wants their pvp mixed with pve from time to time."

Hey guys... I wish we could have an intelligent conversation about the topic? Some of us like a variety of games and playstyles and could give a fuck about game versus game epeen battles.
question what exactly is the legacy system? aslo I thought i heard that there will be a planet for solo endgame, what happened with that?
"Be water my friend" - Bruce Lee
i hear alot of you in this thread talking about the NEED to roll alts, go raiding, pvp to progress ingame.
Just one guy (lord.bachus) and me actually want to play this game for fun??
Dont get me wrong......making progress IS fun, i get that but the way i hear you guys talking about it sounds more like a job.....poor gamers
I realy dont care if it takes me a whole f****** year to get to max lvl....realy.
now go play and have fun.

TY so very much for putting it just right. Just like I've posted, I dont see a reason why anyone HAS to do any one thing and nothing else. I look for mmos with the most options cause for me the more options= more fun in the long run and thats why I play, for fun.
Lol yeah because SWTOR quests are different.
