Gamebreaker's 12 Days of Smack Talkin' brings holiday cheer, WoW-vs.-SWTOR arguments

@(Unverified)

Everyone says that.. and then they comment on WoW.

I doubt that.

@real65rcncom because people who played a game for 3 years plus have a lot to say on the topic.

@drunkingamebar Exactly... I never think about the game, but when the name pops up I can certainly talk hours about it...and why I hate it...

Considering the title of the article is WoW vs SWTOR. It's not really a stretch that I would think about WoW and possibly comment on it. Thanks Capt. Obvious.

@Matix

Yeah, the barrens chat is legendary for a reason. I was pretty wrapped in my class story playing the Star Wars beta so I did not really pay much attention to chat. I am sure that there will be at some trash talkers in the real game thou.

@Matix


Whoa!!!!............cross game chat.....excuse me, i have to go patent that idea.

@Fakeassname : you want some Alganon? Look at SW:TOR's talent trees. They're as blatant a copy of WoW as anything Alganon did (right down to cloning it to the tiniest detail, and then turning the tree upside down in the hope we wouldn't notice it)

@TheClaw
Holy crap - an mmo with talent trees?! Next you'll tell me there are dungeons and raids!

@KvanCetre

I heard SW:TOR has gear. GEAR, I tells ya! What will they rip off next?

@TheClaw

that's kinda my point: all three are crappy games IMO so having them all trash talk each other would be a riot.

much in the same way as watching rap battle between a bunch of wannabes with no flow.

@Fakeassname If an MMO isn't a sandbox that reaches high expectations it's crap in the MMO market? =/

@KvanCetre - there's talent trees.. and then there are talent trees where each class has three trees, each of them with tiers that you need to invest 5 points in to access the next tier, seven tiers deep so the capstone talents require 30 points invested in the tree, with most talents being 3-5 points, but with the 11, 21 and 31 point rows each containing a talent that only costs a single point but adds a new ability rather than modifying an existing ability or stat, with that 31-point talent being the only one on the 31 point row.

Sounds familiar? That's a description of WoW 1.0, Alganon and SW:TOR. You can try to handwave it away with glib crap like "Holy crap - an mmo with talent trees?! Next you'll tell me there are dungeons and raids!" but you're being deliberately disingenuous if you do.

@TheClaw

You really hate those talent trees, huh?
