I was playing wow pretty hardcore, killing same bosses every week and i thought i was happy.
With try TOR, whole new dimension opened to me - why would i repeat killing same boss every time waiting to "that" piece of loot to drop and sitting in cities in the meantime with all maxed proffs, with 10lvl 85 toons, oh why i was so tunnelvisioned?
Now, i play 4 toons at the same time and i pray to level them as slowly as i can. Hear the stories, chat with unknown people on the planet, logging off in non-rested zones just to avoid rested bonus, flashpoint or two - in short its great, relaxing and
casual game for me
At 1st, i really missed my wow addons - healbot as No.1 (used it for monitoring buffs and debuffs, not healing itself only),but i got used to be w/o it and im fine now. Recount would help too, but no need anymore for it, game is just pure casual fun and not rocket-science like wow was. Thank god no elitistjerks reading anymore, no min-maxing, just pure joy...
And when i level all my 4 classes, i will switch to republic side and level them all to see the stories.
My real life changed also - i dont need to attend strict raid times, i can go afk whenever i want, my Mrs is also plesased with this as I can stop playing whenever i want and do my duties (ye, that one too
)
Yes, i saw the Sun after all those wow years - long live swtor
