    Good OP BarackIII.  I agree with you on the oversized machine guns and I'll add the shoulder pads to that arguement myself, but I disagree witht he space combat personally.  I do hope in the future they add a more indepth space sim type environment, but I like the mini-game as well and I see no reason the two can't coexist just like PvE and PvP do.

    I have to say though I FULLY agree on being mystified at the people who trolled with completely false information and got away with it.  I personally report a lot of posts if they contain false info and it is amazing how few of them were deleted by the Mods here.  Anyways, I never had a problem with people not liking some aspect of the game, but the trolls and hysterically angry people always annoyed me.

I'm pretty sure they did say they were open to introducing a fully realized space sim if the demand for it was great enough, so we all must just bug bioware about it post release! :D

SW:ToR is also encouraging exploring, not just GW2 and SW:ToR is encouraging it more so then GW2 from what I've read. Permenant stat bonuses on the holocrons hidden around all the worlds, seems like a good reason to explore to me.

I read this over several times. — What?

He's talking about how demanding a game using that engine would be on a computer, I don't think 70% of the general population has a computer that could run that very well.

Really guys? Everyone goes on about how this game isnt half-assed, and how the developers care about Star Wars and its Lore and creating a story based in the Star Wars universe, and you cant even play as a Rodian? A Mon Cal? Trandoshan?

 

Instead we get red and blue skinned humans and Twi-leks, thats it! Come on now guys, seriously with a budget of 150 mill, they could do the fans and the lore some justice and do some more intricate playable races.

 

 

Agreed. I would have liked to see a raft of preset iconic races on offer, and also a CoH style builder where I could make my own.

 

But then I would have gone own the route of allowing people to look like how they want like that game does as well, allowing character progression through slotting 'gems' rather then visible gear.

I hate the fact that I am only offered this tiny range of look-a-like races and cloned gear. It's unimaginative, lacks ambition,  and cheap.

It'sa shame they looked towards the wrong style of game for 'inspiration' for SWtoR imo. CoH in general would have made a better template for the game in terms of character development.

You wouldn't like SW:ToR unless they made it SWG2, everyone knows you don't like it, we've seen you say it countless times now. We get the point. You think games that release with "vision" but having every part of the game destroyed by bugs are better then ones that will release actually polished and finished, that's quite funny. :)

So  when I create a new character, the base stats of DOL,DOH,DOM,DOW are all the same? If i am a DOL with a fishing rod equipped and I switch it out to say "bronze knuckles" would that mean I am no longer DOL but have changed to DOW?  Or am I still DOL with the only difference I am now able to fight. I think what I'm asking is if you stand a rank 10 DOW next to a rank DOL with identical weapon and gear would they be equal in stats?  Thanks for the helpful answers. I think I'm getting a better understanding.

You pick and choose your own stats, you have 2 different kind of levels. Your class rank and your physical level. Your class rank is your fishing/lancer etc. While your physical level is your stats. The higher your physical the more stats you have, and you choose what stat to put it in. For example, when you hit level 2, you get 6 stat points. You can put those into whatever stat you want, you could go all strength or all dec, or split between your stats. Your stats do not go up passively, how you build your character is up to you :) Your class rank is different for each weapon. When you switch weapons you will switch from DoW to DoL to DoH.

I believe the moment you equip a weapon you switch to the DoW class assosciated with it. Your fighting abilities would depend on your level in that class at that point.

What he said.You are not stuck to one "class" per character you may play them all freely.

Could try Mortal online, it's got it's problems but you could like it. Never know.

Give the game a chance.

I will, I would really like to, when the game implements third-person view.  First-person all the time is enough of a fracture of my enjoyment and disconnect between seeing my character, connecting with my character, playing a mmo the way I am accustom to, that it keeps me away.  But that's me.

 Why do you require a 3rd person view? The game is trying for realism.  Can u magiclly apear behind your self and watch your self walk around and do things......? 

Some people prefer 3rd person... I also cant magically conjure a fireball to throw at people either, yet thats in game.

You just don't know how!

Awesomely incredible idea.  I hated fighting the other three healers for good cloth drops.. and then have some of the DPS'rs roll themselves as well because they had a second spec that could use it.

This.

Good read, Thanks for the info!

They have stated that this is a PvE game. I wouldnt expect PvP to any more then an after thought put in just because people asked for it, like space combat was.

Besides, huge scale PvP(wars) is all part of the lore/story of the star wars universe and what is bioware best at? d:

Well, it isnt PvP is it?

Oh, and space combat is also part of the lore and story, and look how thats ended up.

So honestly, I know bioware will come through when it comes to PvP and it will be something grand indeed.

Blind faith is... inspiring.

 

This game has strengths, no doubt about it, it will be fun toplay through, agreed, but lets not pretend BW care overly about PvP, have it as a focus, or indeed overly care about it.

They will have it because it maximises sales but that dosent mean it will get the implementation it needs to give this game meaningful PvP.

You obviously have read nothing about that game, they know PvP is a huge part of the game and have said so countless times and space combat is only an after thought for now, they have said again that if the demand is great enough for it, they will upgrade and make it a real space SIM. Quit hating on SW:ToR becuase it isn't SWG2, it's getting real old.

um when did they ever say that?

Don't think they ever did.

I don't think there is any reason to worry, bioware is one of the smartest developers out there, they know that PvP will be a huge part of the game, so I don't see any reason they'd leave it out.

Yeah, it's faster than an AH in my honest opinion. I kind of like how involved it is, plus the combo of bank and market system makes it really fun. You just search for the item you want in a list and it tells you what retainers have it and for what price. It's nice. 

Yeah it is, don't know what he was talking about, no way it's easy? O.o guess someone never tried it out eh? But seriously, FF14 has become 100x better then release, I know that still might not equal much, but with what's planned for the next few patches, FF14 is going to be in good shape real soon.

Hello everyone, I am here to say that anyone, noob or pro, is welcome to come join the linkshell Karasu on Lindblum . We are a pretty laid back LS with a very nice social atmosphere. Everyone is welcome as long as you are generally nice person. We understand everyone has their bad days, but there is no need to be rude to any friends/comrades. We have our own ventrilo server, if anyone prefers talking to typiing. We also have our own website, http://karasuls.shivtr.com/, You can register on there, or just come on FFXIV and send either Orthros Wulf, Nem Nem or Wrekage Imperator a tell, and we'll get you all set up.

Thank you for reading and I hope to see you all in game.

He has invested lots of his fathers money into the game.

Why would he sell his own game?

What a stupid post.

He actually said he was open to selling MO, maybe you should read and become informed before you post anything. What a stupid post.

 Geeze I'd sell it too. He's watching the entire invesment circling the drain. With an expression of sheer horror I'm sure.

Pretty much.

Hey all, I was just simply wondering who is going to come back and try/play FF14 for 1.18. I don't care for any hate posts, so if you're going to say anything negative about 14 this isn't the place, don't do it. Please and thank you. Also, if anyone is comming back or just starting, Come to lindblum server and I'll get you guys set up with a LS and help for whoever needs it. :)

Not really, but they did make it a LOT easier to find the items you are looking for.

No... no way that that ward search thing is easy... or could ever replace a good ol AH.

Seems pretty easy and simple to me.
