Who ordered a wamburger and the french cries.

What I don't get is why it even matters.

I am not even planning on playing this game, but after reading all this, it just sounds like many of you are pissed off because EVERYONE will have the option to play jedi... and you thought you would be special.

This isn't highlander, there can be more than one.

So what if you only see 1 boba fett wannabe running around every 6 weeks, that makes those who choose to play them more special.

This OP sounds to me like he/she wants to play jedi, just mad because there will be many of them.

QQ more.

For some reason this made me lol.

 I'm sure Bioware is compantent enough to make a good quality well balanced game.  If you don't realize this I suggest that you go and play a few of their amazing games.  I think it's insulting to Biowares track record to bash TOR before it has even been released.  No this game is not going to be SWG and nor should it be.  If you want this game to be SWG expect to be disapointed, if you want to play another great game made by Bioware expect to be pleased.

It took SWG more than two years to sell one million boxes, and at that time they only had 250k subscribers.  Knights of the Old Republic sold 250k units in its first four days.  It would have sold more, but they ran out of copies. The X-Box version alone has sold around 1.6 million to date, exclusive of the PC version.  It was one of the best-reviewed role playing games of all time.

BioWare has a larger audience for this game, exclusive of SWG fans, than there are people who even care about SWG at this point.  TOR doesn't have anything to do with the Galaxies IP, or really with the movies for that matter, it has to do with the KotOR IP, which is a good thing since that is a more popular and well-reviewed setting than Galaxies ever was.

As for Jedi debate, what debate? 50 percent driven away, really? This game isn't being made for bitter SWG exiles.  It is being made for fans of KotOR and Star Wars.  There probably won't be more than 10% of the initial user base who even realize there was a Jedi debate in a game that failed years ago.

There is nothing pesimistic about wanting divesity in an MMORPG. Every game has its flavor class, i.e. Rogue, Paladin, Barbarian, Superhero who flies.

I am not bashing the game by no means. I can assure you. I just pray that they make the other classes just as appealing and desirable to play. I am guessing (my opinion - wanted to get that out the way) that quarter of us who play this game will be gamers or MMO experienced. The rest wlll be Starwars movie fans or KOTOR players who have the distinct knowledge by their SW experiences that Jedi/Sith are the most powerful or the 'best class'. Heck, how many of us tried to beat KOTOR I and II as a purely range gunman?

You can't deny that there will be an ONSLAUGHT of sabers running around. I hope they do not neglect the other classes when it comes down to balancing. And I'm not just talking about pvp interactions. If there is grouping required for tasks, I pray that a class that has not been utilized doesnt get the short end of the stick strickly because there is little player data on that class.

I know BIOWARE is smart and I believe they can pull this off, but I will always have the mindset hope for the best, expect the worse due to my MMO experience.

So far both Bounty Hunter and Trooper look sweet. I could see myself playing both. I think so far they are doing a good job at adding appeal to the classes released.

Nobody here has denied there will be tons of jedi/sith considering the era its set in. But like most people that play MMOs. They will play more then the class they chose from the start, some of them might not even like the feel sith or jedi offers them, so they move on.

 Granted Jedi are a big part of SW, they will not be unbalanced and I would expect all classes to be on the same playing field of skill.

Keep in mind as well this game takes place hundreds of years before the first Star Wars movie was set so Jedi were as equal as the rest.

This guy has got it right.

This game will never shake the SWG shadow.

I think the problem is everyone wants to be a jedi/sith but some people realize that there will be endless jedi/sith and will choose a different class. While the others sit and complain that there will be to many jedi/sith for their own selfish ambitions on being a "leet" jedi/sith. Ill admit if i am to play this game I would like to play sith, but I know that it will be an extremely popular class which is a deterant for me. 

IMO jedi and sith should be NPC only but that wouldnt sell game copies now would it? I am a SW fan and this game can not due justice to jedi/sith powers, because of class balance issues, which is sad.

Personally, I'll have one of every Sith Empire class on one server and one of every Galactic Republic class on another server.  Obviously I'll have a main on each side/server, but as to which class that will be I have no idea.  I will play every class through the entire game to experience the different storylines and then settle on one from each server to use for endgame content and PvP.

Do I think that Jedi and Sith will be the most played?  Yes, I do, at least initially.  Later people will gravitate to whatever class suits them best.  Jedi and Sith will probably be very popular with the younger players due to most of their Star Wars experience coming from the God-awful prequels and Clone Wars nonsense.  Older players, on the other hand, are probably more likely to roll other classes such as Bounty Hunter or Smuggler (if that is indeed a class in SW:TOR).

Six months after release I expect that the game will have a pretty even spread of classes, with Jedi/Sith just edging it, but by no means being massively overplayed.

I really don't get why people think jedi are gods, they die by the thousands all over in KoToR lore. So yeah they have the force, oooo but if you know how to control your own mind they die easy as chickens.

It will probably be how Death Knights were with WoW. At launch, everyone and their grandma will play a Jedi/Sith and then we'll start seeing more of other classes especially if Jedi/Sith aren't the OP FotM. Sounds kind of ironic that another class could be the OP one but if they're trying to balance the classes, it's bound to happen.

I doubt it will be OP because every class has a counter measure to ensure nobody is OP.

While that sounds nice on paper, putting it into practice is a whole nother story altogether.

I'm just curious, do all you pessimistic sour pusses who predict doom for every game actually have a goal of some kind besides being trolls? If it's to draw attention to yourselves, then I guess you are succeeding. But I fail to see any real tangible wins for you since no developer of any game could ever take you seriously.

 

What games have not failed?

World of Warcraft, EVE Online, Lord of the Rings Online and umm... darn.

 

By your own defintion, World of Warcraft is the only MMO in the history of MMOs that hasn't failed. Every game that has ever come out eventually lost subs. I guess when the day FINALLY arrives that World of Warcraft is pulling less than a million subs it will be a failure. But that would be after 5+ years as the number one MMO on the market. So it's safe to say your little standards are unrealistic.

But you guys still haven't answered my question. Just what is the intended purpose of trolling forums and predicting doom for all  games that aren't even in BETA yet? Is it because you lack attention in the real world or is there some method to your madness?

I always thought it was because they really wanna see this game fail. I see no other explanation, unless somebody else wants to disagree.

Because on a forum, discussion doesn't equal praiseal?

And maybe because we are greatly disappointed with the devs?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in this time period Bounty Hunters were more rare than Jedi/Sith, lol.

Really? Then why dont you go post on swtor.com? Im pretty sure that Bioware doesn't maintain mmorpg's forum boards. If your original intent was to reach the devs and make an attempt to be heard, then all of your hard work was for nothing. As for the rest beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
