Felix Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 27, 2012 -> 08:58 AM) You can level WoW solo pretty easily, but yeah the endgame stuff you need guilds or at least a big raid of people to do stuff.... I can't say for sure but I'd be guessing Starwars would be similar that once you get endgame most of the content would be at very least groups. Also just like WoW there are quests on the way you cant do alone but mostly can pickup random groups to complete it which I'd imagine is same in Starwars. In WoW at least though all the stuff leveling wise that required groups was optional, it was fun but very easy to do majority of quests solo and might take a little more time could easily level all the way solo. That's another difference from what I can tell. SWTOR doesn't really have big raids. The max group size is four, unless you're doing a PvP Warzone which is a completely different, unique instance. I imagine it's easier to find three random people than finding 20+ pubbies in WoW, but maybe not. Basically, SWTOR seems much less guild based, which I really like thus far.

whitesoxfan99 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 03:32 PM) Knights of the Old Republic is different that Star Wars: The Old Republic. KotOR is/was/will always be an amazing RPG made by Bioware back in 2003. I strongly recommend playing both KotOR and KotOR2, as they are both superb games, but they aren't the game that was just released  SWTOR is the MMO that was just released and it's pretty fun. You can play it as a conventional RPG (which I've been doing for the most part) and it's still a lot of fun. I've really liked the RPG elements of it, and I've never played an MMO before this one. The fact that you're playing online with other people hasn't been relevant to me unless I specifically want it to be relevant, which is nice.  I'm still pissed that KotOR3 never got made.

Â Well there were end game instances that were just group based in WoW, but I forget that was 5 or 6 people instead of 4. Are you lvl 50 in SWTOR yet?

Are you lvl 50 in SWTOR yet? Nah. I've got four characters between 24 and 33, but still deciding which to take to 50 first. It's certainly possible things are different in the endgame, but I don't know yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Not sure if any of you guys ever use custom covers, but I used to use them all the time when I was younger. Haven't really used any in a few years, but decided to throw my request in to the wind at OS. Well, to my surprise, a Cubs fans jumped all over it and made this. If anyone is interested.......

ZoomSlowik Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just curious, am I the only one that plays the Uncharted 3 multiplayer? I've put in more time on that than I'd care to admit.
