Don''t mind me.. I''m long-winded

Well you are going to be instanced onto different planets with maybe teams of 4 or 5. 
and it wouldn't take them this long to create the game if it was simply point and click.

I also don't see how it could be point and click when 99% of your weapons are projectile.
clearly the style (refer to screenshots) is FPS, or at least TP(third person).


what do ppl expect when a new RPG is released they talk about "crappy point and click" being so lame, yet how else would you expect to play without extremely limiting yourself? if you aren't pointing and clicking, you aren't using a mouse.   real gamers play any style and don't cry about it.

I for one am very happy it's not FPS style. I cannot stand FPS, it literally makes me dizzy and I am unable to play the game. I got into Tabula Rasa beta and sadly couldn't play it. I was left with a headache and double vision.

I don't think FPS is for "kiddies" anymore than I think point-n-click is "crappy."  Both styles have their use.

If SGW is to be an RPG, it should be PnC.  An RPG is about your character's skills.  The player's "skill" input is in knowing the character's skillset and equipment and how best to employ it.

If SGW is to be a frag game, then FPS is all well and good.  Just don't call it an RPG, because it is not. 

I happen to be looking for an RPG, not another FPS.

I would like to know where You have seen these testers? Because the game is still in developers and have not even been closed beta yet.

Because so far SGW developers has almost sayed it directly that it's not gonna be FPS. You can't have FPS game with target locking.

Here is quote from Q&A episode I question:


Host: Jayna wants to know will combat include keyboard targeting and target lock ? Bill Slease Answers.

 

Bill: yes we intend the combat to include both keyboard targeting and target lock there will be some ability's you can use while your moving so you wanna be able to lock the target and be able to use those, there will be other ability's of course you can't.

Those who do not know their history, are bound to step in it.

Meh. It's quite simple for me. FPS combat or FPS elements means I will not play, and that most likely neither will my guild. I already HAVE carpal tunnel, and I know from experience anything that requires me to make too many mouse movements WILL cause me pain. Besides which, I simply don't enjoy FPS. Been there, done that, got bored. And guess where I got the carpal tunnel from.

=p
