Variety is the spice of life, unfortunately, it's also the bane of balance. |
/epic sigh How about we wait until we actually know more than a handful of information about the game until we all come screaming apocolypse? Personally, from what I have seen, I will enjoy it a lot. Have a little faith in a developer with much credability. And even if it doesn't fit perfectly of what your opinion of how the game should be by no means it will be even a slight fail. |

IF this non sense bothers you so much you're gonna go crazy near launch. Happens in every game. EVERY one. TOR has had it easy sso far. Be a good time to practice your skills at persuasion now on this stuff rather than ranting. |

Be a good time to practice your skills at persuasion now on this stuff rather than ranting. Yup. DF and MO are catching it now and before them it was Aion which still catches some of it now and then. After Aion launches i look for the fire to be more concentrated on SWTOR as it will be the next AAA title to launch. It has to be true, i have internet links. |

Maybe on these forums Aion gets hate. But alot of WoW players I know (hate the game myself) are talking good things about Aion. Friends of friends all liking it saying its better than WoW. Sure TOR will be out way after that game. But even with pure hype TOR sounds weak compared to Aion. Hype > Reality

1. You're completey wrong about Hype > Reality and the simple fact that you believe that belies a deep inability to form coherant thoughts worth expressing. Warhammer, Age of Conan, they both had a massive amount of hype going into launch. However the sad reality was that neither of these games were ready to be launched and due to this reality they both hemoraged the majority of their original customers who then went back to WoW. 2. If you were right about Hype > Reality then you would still be wrong about TOR sounding weak compared to AION. It's Star Wars. Star Wars. Repeat that to yourself a couple of times before it sinks in. AION is a generic Asian anime inspired world. Star Wars. Star Wars. War of the Stars where shit happens. Jedi. Sith. Chicks in metal bikinis decades before WoW/EQ. You'd have to be deluded to believe this was even a fair comparison. As for AION getting alot of hate on these forums. It's not just here, AION is getting a lot of hate on the AION forums where people who played it and were disappointed to find out that it's a WoW Derivative. It also gets a lot of hate from both the AoC and WAR community. I think anyone that believes AION will after 3 months (when the dust settles) have more than 500k subs is in wishful lala land. I personally don't see it surpassing LOTRO myself but I suppose we'll see shortly. And just for the record, I played AION for about 2 months starting mid April on the Chinese Retail servers with an Adult account. It was meh. The majority of people in my guild (Death and Taxes...yes...THAT Death and Taxes) ended up quiting the game before I did. The retention rate was all around pretty low. |

Actually, they WANT to play more than one class, not to mention they have already announced space combat. As for your other issues, they haven't been addressed at all, which means I'm getting into them until I hear a yea or nay from BioWare. It's very idiotic for YOU to get into them before them as well. ____________________________ "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I know World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |
Originally posted by Vagrant_Zero You were doing pretty well up until half way through point 2. If you posted this stuff on Aionsource im sure you did see a lot of hate but not pointed at the game. Generic is not a term i would use myself as the graphics are as good as any ive seen for the style you refer to as anime and if you played Aion as you say you know yourself the "grind" is no worse than WOW and the PVP is head and shoulders above what WOW offers. While i see a definate asian art style i do not see anime but when compared to WOW all anime looks good so i guess we will call this a compliment. Oh that Death and Taxes.....sorry im such a noob but never heard of it. Ive never said this game is a WOW killer and do not believe it is although the WOW fanbois are sure worried that it is from the clutching at straws ive been seeing. I knew, and stated on another thread, that after beta ends the fear and loathing about Aion would start again. Carry on. It has to be true, i have internet links. |

I don't visit aionsource anymore since I don't intend on playing the game. The negative AION impressions I'm getting are from MMORPG.com. They tend to be right on the main page of the site (not the forums) so it's pretty easy to find yourself there occasionally even if you aren't particularly interested in AION (ie...ME). What I'm getting from your post is that you're defending AION. And I have to ask why? While I did say I played the game and did not enjoy it and that I personally don't believe it'll be a huge success in the WEST I didn't say WHY. That wasn't an accidental omission on my part, I purposely stayed clear from discussing the WHY because that fosters debate which while great and dandy has no place here on the SWTOR forums. As for me playing AION. I dropped the game like a hot potato right as I entered lvl 23-24 which at Chinese Launch was a known quest gap. There were about 3 quest gaps on your trek to cap but I never bothered to discover the other 2, the first gap was tedious enough to dissuade me from playing the game. The game simply wasn't good enough for me to look the other way while I plowed through barren lvls. Also, for future reference it's a poor argument to defend 1 MMO (AION) by positing that another MMO suffers from the same problem (WoW) and somehow using that fact as a justification. I dumped WoW because of the grind (lvling up may be fast but just about everything else is a monotonous grind). AION is equally grindy by your own admission compared to WoW. I also ended up dumping AION. Can you now see why your point doesn't amount to a persuasive argument. You made the assumption I like WoW. I don't. I like parts of Live WoW. I loved Vanilla WoW 4 years ago for the most part. Fast forward to 2009 and I'm singing a different tune...and playing a different game. |

*yawns* I find it amazing that the doomsayers/trolls are crawling out of the woodwork already (well, not really, but the vacuousness of some people never ceases to amaze me). Even if ALL of your purportedly "factual" predictions (yeah, right!) happened to come true, that doesn't mean that you can speak for the myriad people who will, in fact, enjoy this game, be it players of the KotRO fanbase, some Star Wars fans, or other various groups of people who will want to play the game. I was an avid player of the pre-CU SWG, and I still refuse to play the NGE, but my fondness of the "sandbox" gameplay style won't preclude me from at least trying ToR for myself so that I can form an opinion based on actual gameplay rather than the crap that whiners such as yourself are spewing years in advance of the actual release of the game (which is just pathetic). Unless you're in possession of some supernatural powers that grant you the gift of foresight that we mere mortals are unaware of, then your "statements" are merely speculation and, as a result, your dubious arguments are completely baseless until we have more concrete facts to utilize.

Originally posted by Draccan I really only disagree with one and it might be good to know information. Bioware is using the HeroEngine for this product. If your not familiar with it i'd be happy to shed some light on it. HeroEngine has one of the fastest pipelines for MMO development of any 3rd party MMO engines out there. There tool set is absolutly phenominal when it comes to time saving measures. Everything from QA working inside the same design environment and being able to do things like tag problem areas while in game for instance maybe there is a lamp in this room but the light source is casting from above the lamp. They can tag the object so when designer comes in they can see the note and exactly what the problem is. The net effect is the development time of a game even one like this is drastically reduced. There are some down sides to HeroEngine. Its VERY instance oriented. But what makes up an instance is scaleable. There are other short comings but its been awhile since I had direct exposure to HeroEngine. |

Really, there is no way dooming any game over a year before it's launch. It will change a ton. It's still probably in an early alpha stage. Plus, many of your points are invalid. They have stated that there IS space combat. Plus, you say the lack of information means the game is going to fail. But most of the specifics of the game at this point are probably going to change by the time it releases. They just want to make sure everything they say is true. |

I agree, doing lake Mythic and Avi and talk about many features that later gets scrapped is a lot more stupid then be quite about it until you know everything actually works as intended. And it is logicaly impossible to prove if a game will be a failure or a success before it is released or canceled. Tabula Rasa was an epic fail. |

The lack of information factor means nothing, if it does i guess the next big MMO from Blizz is an epic fail as well. Another example while not in the MMO bussiness is Nintendo whos policy, like Blizz is "its in development and will be released when its done". SWTOR may not sweep the world as WOW has done but to say its a fail at this state of develpment is reaching just a little bit. It has to be true, i have internet links. |

Is the game out yet? No. Judging by the size of the original post I would get the impression you think everything about the game is already out. Posts like this are just annoying because your judging the entire game with the title "an epic FAIL already" even though not enough information is out. Wait until the game is released before you make a judgement like that imo -_- There is a reason people from your past did not make it to your future. |

Bringing the Pain Train from FPS to MMO''s. WOO! WOO! |
Dont worry, these fools are scared becasue they know that every mmo on the planet is on the edge of extinction. |

I for one won't be bothering with this game anymore if the no-space combat/exploration rumour turns out to be true. If one thing i was looking forward it would have been space exploration/combat in this game I mean they could have taken the formula in Mass Effect and applied it, it's already there and it was pretty fun! 666 |

How is this guy not banned yet?? |

excuse me? is this the whole contribution you're gonna give to the thread? asking why I am not banned cuz my nickname doesn't suit your standards? YES i know it's a retarded nick and YES i know it's a retarded tagline aswell...i intended it to be so cause when i registered i couldn't be bothered to write anything smarter. So either post a comment on the subject or bugger off somewhere else, where somebody gives a damn you got offended by somebodyelses nickname...like a psichiatrist or the like. 666 |
