Beta Testing Weekend #3 Invites

[HomoDoctus]

I got in for the weekend. so far I've only played a bounty hunter and Jedi and i have to say i'm severely under impressed. Sure its pretty, and they certainly put a lot of work into the quest givers all having their own mini cinematic etc, but its Wow. every key bind, chat layout, log, overall game play. in fact the ui is very similar to a ui mod i believe called NUI. it's fun as a jedi to throw stuff around, guess that's different than anything in wow.

hope it gets better at higher levels.

Your not alone in your feelings. I see a lot of posts on the beta forums just like yours. I see your point. Any MMO that comes out is going to have similar things to WoW. Its the biggest and best MMO ever. It took ideas that worked from previous MMOs and games and made them work in a way that multi millions of people loved. SO any future games that do not follow that to some extent might not do well. Games that have tried to innovate things about combat control and ui stuff have failed ( Conan )

I think its those similarities that make the game fun. Along with the companion system and a world that makes me feel like I'm in the SW universe. I love it! The only unknown for me at this time is the end game. Thats an unknown for anyone because they have not tested it much. I know Ill play it and level probably one of every class/ac to max level, before i decide I want to stay or not. The end game would have to be really amazing to keep me away from WoW long term.
