I just have to say....i can't wait for this game to come out!!!
Was, am and will be a StarGate Fan forever!!!

About all your negative feedback about races and other things....how can you give a bad feedback when you didn't even see, or not to say tried/played, the game?!? It's StarGate......with time and exploration and science in game, other possibilities will (i expect) be added. And i like that . And anyway...what kind of races would you like to have?!? If you want to keep the SGC feeling then you don't have many options......it's a human kind of Sci-Fi thing and not a fantasy.....i like human kind of Sci-Fi. And besides all the possibilities that exist, Atlantis will add up to it also....and you can then maybe play the Wraith !!

If this game keeps the feeling from the series SGC...then i'll love it :-)
If it becomes just another WoW copy/clone then i'll stick to WoW.....but i don't think that i will have to stick to WoW

Let's just wait and see what happens(which is hard enough for me)

---------------------
Happy Gaming

I have to say The more I hear about this game, and it's current path of development the less and less I'm getting all 'Oh I can't wait to play'

First the level bomb was dropped. Then we get limited character ARCHTYPES, and now the Dev's talk of how to 'Balance' each archtype. Seriously? Is this really what Dev's sit about and brainstorm about on how to deliver a knockout MMO?

A medic should not be balanced with a Commando.. Even a combat medic who knows a bit about how to shoot will get beat EVERY time by a trained Green Beret, Special Forces, Force Recon, SEAL. Same with how your average soldier will never out engineer an MIT triple master Graduate. When did Jack O'Neill ever out techno Carter? Or out translate Jackson? They would lay cover fire while the specific member delt with their are of expertise, it wasn't balanced. a group of 3 Asguard, and a Scientist should beat the same number of soldiers in a SAT, and the Soldiers should wipe them off the obstacle course.

And 200 hours to reach end game! That is something to oh ah about? Guess the days of old where characters enjoy the rich detailed world in are gone. Now we will no longer have the discussions of how you spent years in a MMO community, instead it's all about Rush Rush Rush to lvl, and hit the 'endgame' before the next flavor of the month MMO drops. Ah well guess with the current trend of MMO's the RPG is gone, and now companies only try to hold your attention for so long.

A real shame, as I really like the Stargate cannon, and would have had a great time carving my name upon the world, but it does look like the focus is more so the Asguard with the Naquehda plasma rockit launchers of Noob slaughter, out ganking the Jaffa spawn points, than trying to unlock anything as an Archeologist.

Wow. The more i read some of these posts the more i feel i should just stop. Im not going to try and convince any of you how cool this game is going to be or can be nor am i going to have a debate over any of it. But your all afraid of character levels? rofls...

i could care less about levels, i just hope the game doesn't suck

I simply do not get how some of you think this game is gonna be so fantastic as to stop the earth from rotating, nor do i get how some of you think its gonna be dead in the water.

this game is gonna pop right up near swg nge territory like it or not.

a half and half rpg/shooter doesn't get it. what it should be set up as is a fps with the ability to roleplay.
This "well it would be a limited view crap just amazes me, since when do we ever have a 360 view part of the tactic's would be
pay attention to your surroundings and not solely focus in on what you are doing, or if you have to be fully focus on studying an artifact
then your team better have your back covered. what would be the point to a four man team if you can do it all yourself?

Man this gimme on a silver platter crap just irks me to no end.

Here is what just did me in on playing this and i sooooooooooo wanted to play this game.
archtypes= iconic
3rd person view + tactics = will not work.
Leveling, which just screams noob universe.
Commando or soldier, last i checked jack was both plus pilot, not now boy, he is getting the nerf bat straight away and hasn't even made it to the game.
I can hear him saying now
Oh, for crying out loud Senator, i can use c-4 plus shoot at the sametime what do you mean i have to choose one?
Senator - Well this will help create more options, jack.
Like what?!? Dying?!? Thats just great. Think I'll take that retirement package now thanks all the same.
Then he leaves, the world gets taken over, everyone dies or becomes a snake head...

ALL BECAUSE YOU JUST COULDN'T LET JACK HAVE HIS C-4/P-90 COMBO BECAUSE IT MADE HIM TOO DAMN UBER!
Whats next? Sam has to choose between being gorgeous or smart? Because you know, that would make her too damn powerful.
OR, or, I GOT IT!  Jackson has to choose between a book and a weapon. God knows if you give those damn archaeologists both at
the sametime they will take over the world in less than 15 seconds.
Don't get me started on Teal'c

Punch up P263-595 I'm outta here.

Bunch of silver plattered freaks.

I'm excited to see what they come up with for the end-result.  I know I would enjoy the exploration based on what I'm hearing....   Just one thing, GET THE INTERFACE RIGHT!!!  By that, I mean don't make it feel cumbersome which so many MANY games are doing.  I've played so many RPG, Adventure games that have an awesome story, but extremely poor interface.  I hate to even say it here, but companies shouldn't be afraid of using WOW as an example.  The ease of movement in that game is the best example I've seen on the PC.  The easiest I've encountered for a console is Fable (I know, not MMO... but still a good example).

Look Garrett, I hate to be "that guy", but it has to be said.

That was the most poorly written article I've ever read.

Other than that, I look forward to seeing what Cheyenne does with the game, it definitely has some huge potential. They didn't really give us too much info here, just some basic race/class information. Hopefully we can get more information out soon. I'll keep this one on my watch list for sure =D

First off I think this game will do great because its theme is the stargate universe (My Opinion). Second the game is to far away and it is way to early to judge if its going to do good or bad. Fact is nothing is written in stone and lots of things change on how the game will be at release.

So, Humans, Asgard, Jaffa, Gould.  Only four races to play?  Looks like they doubled up on Humans and Jaffa which is kind of  lame.  Obviously they seem to be going the "easy" route.  The reason I say this is because since they have doubled up the Humans and Jaffa, (i.e. good/bad humans, good/bad jaffa) that probably makes model design easier.  So far, this doesn't impress me at all.  I hope they add other races, because as far as variety goes, they aren't starting off very well.  Hell, I think even WoW has more races than that.  Eeeek!  This game seems to be screaming "boring" already.

What other races would you have in the initial release?



I can see several additional races (Wraith, Genai, etc) when Atlantis is introduced, but I'm not really up to playing a Cro-mag personally...



Playing a To'Kra just isn't viable as there are VERY few of them.



If you think it's boring...well...don't play?

HAHAHAHA that's funny, and good points as well...

Do be honest i look forward to it but stillhope is not going a Ryzom like promessing a lot and delivering a few.

I felt let down when they announced a level based game.
Promising concept, but still too much ground to cover before release.
I want to see how their PvP will be seamless.

The forever noob comment must be one laced with hipocricy :)

I would have liked a larger race option as there are so much more race/types to see in SG such as the Unas or that race from the episode 5th man.

I agree, playing the Asgard seems a tad silly.

In retrospect, i believe someone misspoke themselves as the only REAL weapon the Asgard have is their ability to make things vanish :) i believe they meant the Ancients weapons

Both my and my hubby are looking forward to this game. Personally I think they shouldn't limit it to only 4 different races for each side... why not make every race that was available during those time frames in the show and not limit it to only those? I think the Tok'Ra played a very important part on that part of the show as did the Replicators.  I also think each race should be just that, their own race.  There shouldn't be a forced allied faction unless it was generally strictly following the show guidelines (IE: Anubis and his forces or the Replicators would be obviously evil vs. the Asguard and Tok'Ra who would be obviously good. Humans could have their own choice of alignment but no one would know who to trust with humans as they could be either good or evil. (this is only an example). But I think leaving out various races from being played leaves a lot out of the game that was in the show.  And although I realize that Atlantis is due for an expansion, does that mean we have to wait for Wraith till that time too?  Really looking forward to trying one of those out.

On a side note, Those who correct others for simply miss-spelling things need to get a clue. Personally I think it's ridiculous to do that (constantly correct people and every little mistake they make). It's Petty and I think people who do that on a consistent basis are trying to make up for the lack of other general areas perhaps?

** Note**  While I realize I probably mis-spelled some of the names of the races, I think you all generally get the idea of who or what i was speaking about.

Or is this strictly combat based?

You can have your house while I come hovering above it with my space ship and abduct your charcter like the asgards did to humans lol.

And I hope that replicators and wraith become playable races in the expansions.  I would love to be one of them.

Plus I hope that the Nox become more involved in the story and would love to see the furrys or whatever they were called because they are two of the great races in alliance.
