Generally speaking, I think the player base is a bit more polite in ToR than in WoW, and the characters have some fun mechanics. The gameplay is generally pretty decent.<br /><br />However, I feel like instances are very very robotic. CC, tank charges in, hit heal buttons. Every pull feels the same and there are lots and lots of them before you get to a boss. Not to mention most of them (not all but most)look pretty much the same. The inside of a building or spaceship. It's a very boring backdrop. MoP looks amazing. The instances all have something unique about them, some fun elements too. The Star Wars films had there comic moments and I wish ToR had more of those but instead it's mostly just dark. Real good stuff for the RPers I'm sure.<br /><br />The WoW instances could be a bit more challenging, but then again I think it's fine for the casual player. I haven't tried them yet, but I assume that Blizz has made challenge modes the new hard mode for instances. <br /><br />One final note, as a healer in ToR i feel like I am having fun and sometimes being succesful in spite of the UI. It's horrible for healing, frustrating and no fun. I hadn't turned wow on for four months before mists came out. I HEART my macros and add-ons.

AoE on a Jedi Shadow is painfully weak, so the only reason you'd use it is for threat purposes only.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-57715444511156656362012-10-15T02:45:34.218-07:002012-10-15T02:45:34.218-07:00Oops, I meant to link to this.
