I hope they don't go cheap side with the graphics.  I mean, I don't have to have the best thing ever, but I surely hope they don't go for the WoW/WAR effect, where everything is slightly cartoonish.

Yeah, yeah, I know "But WAR doesn't have cartoon graphics!"  To be honest, they look like the step up from WoW graphics, which is indeed cartoony.

I would be happier if they kept a strong art design, with lots of smooth, rich animation over total photorealism.  But if they can make both happen, then I'm game!

What i hate is when developers mix the two, SWG is a classic example. Like your character vs a squill, to me squills seemed to be from some other game. Or take the darktroopers they are so cartoony and lame compared to the regular stormies. i really don't mind what graphics the new game has as long as they stick to some type of continuity between your character and the rest of the world. Wow graphics can actually be quite nice if you max them. i know i wasn't a fan either till i played it, and the cartoony graphics kind of grew on me. I think they are quite nice now.

Badger never got past the denial phase of grief when the nge came out. He's retarded, he came over here for a bit and thought he would straighten the vet refuge out. That was pretty funny.. what a clown.

Tiggs was ok, at least she actually played..yes it's true she did nothing but some people like to jockhang on a company or the workers therin. she pissed me off a few times, she was no hero that's for sure.

yep 90% ebay the other 10% afk ryatt trail grinders. all the elder jedi left didn't work for sh*t.

Just kill it, god! This game has F*cking blown since nov 15, 2005. Anyone who pays a premium $15 a month to play this game is borderline retarded. It's like damn torture everytime i have logged on in the past 3 years and that isn't often. Such a buggy broken beta, with code upon code upon code just f*cking broken. I don't know how anyone in their right mind can play this crap and pay SOE for 3 years and i'm a huge star wars fan. promise after promise broken, stealth nerfs, all your gear, professions wiped, crapped on with no retribution how many times now? Boy you fanbois are sure being taken for a ride, still getting scammed by smed and his crew of deviants, telling you all his BS like a used car salesman "just hold on, we have something special in the works." What a load of crap!

I have no clue what you guys would do with a good and decent mmo developer? You would probably be in such shock at the fact that some mmo's get updates for your $15 a month and actually add things to the game that don't make your previous rewards junk and don't nerf any professions and actually have quests that work 100% of the time and fix bugs.. and are fun to play..can you believe that?

SWG doesn't have the resources to make anything amazing anymore. My guess is, it' will be, Unlock some quest to get to echo base or a star destroyer. Then when you get there you can talk to a few npc's to open instances to either do the imperial or rebel side. Probably, you will be able to do the ATAT/Snowspeeder battle or fight on the ground but you won't be able to do both. Meaning you won't be able to land your snowspeeder and get out and fight on the ground. There will probably be a small restuss type pvp area that is contested. It'll be really lame and people that think it'll be awsome are just getting their hopes up. SOE has no intention of doing anything on a grand scale for SWG anymore.

Not only that, but it does it damn fast. If they decided to do a seamless world it would be far bigger that what swg has now.

Well I'm challenging thoes that think the vets have won something, so your flame was completely unnessesary and irrelevant.

 

I'm not saying don't hate SOE, I'm saying you aren't achieving anything by doing so, and you most certainly are not the cause of the new MMO, so why are you telling me why you hate SOE, as I honestly don't care as I've heard it about a million times, almost as if you have all copy and pasted the same answer as to why you 'hate' SOE.

+ 'hate' ? I'm not so sure. Angry with, dislike, annoyed at, yeahhh, but 'hate'?

 

EDIT: sorry, this was a reply to the_lizard

i don't think its irrelevant because you bashed the community not only the person you were quoting but everyone here. i agree, if i hate SOE it does nothing thats why i don't post very often. i'm more than annoyed with them and the fact that they took years worth of my time and turned it into junk, lied to me and treated me like garbage.

Wow...eight pages of responses and I'm just amazed at how many people are threatened by us vets. I always knew we were successful but the extent of our success has really surprised me. All of the haters, fanbois, trolls, viral marketers, sockpuppets and cyberstalkers who are bashing us are just reinforcing our message. Hopefully when the history of SWG is written (on wikiepdia of course) we'll get all the credit we so richly deserve.

 

LOL again,

reading your dribble makes me feel physically sick, it's just creepy.

you knew you were successful? I'm wondering how you have been successful, apart from being the most annoying part of the online community known to man? You aren't causing people not to play SOE games, it just annoys the vast majority of us that might actually like SOE games and not care about the past (OMG PPLZ U MUST CARE ABOWT DA PAST) no.

read my previous post and explain how I feel threatened by your annoying presence? You aren't very good at reading emotions or even listening to what people have to say, you just phase it out and make up truth, which by definition is incorrect.

I don't want an argument with the entire anti SOE crowd here, but when someone thinks they're responsible for the collapse of a game that hasn't collapsed, and the creation of a game that has yet to be created, I have to put them in their place (that would be the SWG vets refuge...after 2 years....the very name 'refuge' implies you need to be helped.

but wait, this is probably me just feeling threatened by your incredibly successful campaign xD

 

I don't know why you clowns feel like you have to write that dribble, no one talks like that here. Save that crap for the mental midgets on the Oboards. Go back to your stupid pea shooter game that they dumbed down enough for you to play, enjoy it while it lasts and stay off the vet boards knob!

 

actually, from previous experience, a lot of anti SOE SWG vets that go around the forums talking bad about SOE DO in fact talk in '1337' or whatever you like to call it.

Seriously, is there really any need for personal insults? calling me a 'knob' ? really...? I hardly feel Vanguard has been dumbed down, but then again, im not used to amazing games such as SWG pre CU, I'm sure that was adults only and was so complicated that you needed an IQ of 200+ to even log in (actually an anti SOE swg vet said that 'swg was so user friendly we even had a grandma in our alliance/guild' , so I'm not sure where you get the idea of dumbing down...another made up truth perhaps?)

 

but anyway, that was a completely irrelevant post, it was basically saying 'Don't voice your opinion here, I don't like it!' ....

you should really adress the issue of how have you actually done a 'good job vets' , instead of blindly agreeding with the OP because he shares a common goal. Negative cohesion is never good.

Maybe I should reply to every post regarding anything but compliments about vanguard the same way as you replied to me, that would get me far.

read the first stickied post in here before you troll, the tilte is why we hate SOE. no one here is going to be converted to loving SOE or any game they develop. i really don't think the vets have won anything, or lost anything recently all i know is that there is a new star wars mmo, and that's good news for people that hate SOE and their business practices and really bad for those that play the NGE. so in a sense we won something, were able to play star wars as a mmo at some point in the future without the fascist SOE in control.

As many of you know, the original kotor series draws the vast majority of its rules and game mechanic concepts from the tabletop edition of star wars.

Everquest, wow, and all other mmos have drawn many of thier ideas from table top games.

With the recent release of 4th edition D&D as well as a revamped star wars table top game It is my opinion that you will find many of the tabletop concepts in this new mystery mmo.

So if your curious as to what to expect in the next big star wars mmo, check out the new star wars pen and paper game or even the 4th ed D&D.

I am predicting that those games will heavily influence this next mmo.

 

 

I dont get it. In US they use those class/level rules in table top RPGs.  But in EU we have only skillbased table top RPGs.

I personally just think the 4th edition D&D is one step closer to skillbased. They want you to feel as you have a choice.

And if that is the way they will go for in KOTORO.....then im not interested.

really? i feel that 4e is a step backwards it's like they wowified pnp. i really don't have any problems with the pnp combat system i feel its pretty elegant. and i don't really care about level based as long as you can multiclass.

good find on the job description.

Werd to yer nerd...

 

Let's hear it for the bar!
 

yeah, the only game i can think of that deviated from the dnd rpg model was pre-cu without any levels.

"I can more or less guarantee you that the new SW MMO will have nothing whatsoever to do with the D&D ruleset of any incarnation."

 

What do we win if you are wrong?

man, every mmo has dnd in it. just cause the numbers are bigger doesn't mean anything. where do you think you get fire, acid, cold.... resists from. and all those other crazy stats? like strength, stamina, dexterity.. so on. change the words around and make it 3000 instead of 10, it's still all dnd.

kotor was a d20 ruleset with multiclassing, basically you could specialize in ranged and melee but not like swords/ pike you would specialize in all and take feats for melee that would give bonuses to your attack and damage rolls. what the deal is you roll a toon with certain stats like strength, constitution, dexterity, wisdom, charisma, intelligence... certain stats would give bonuses to certain feats..and powers, and yes you can spec in melee and use powers for buffs.

if you want to use a 1 hander you have to take feats, same if you want to duel wield or use a pike counts as 2 handed so you take feats, skills are different in d20 you put skill points into things like stealth and jump and swim, open lock and such..

I agree, i don't really like 4e but, it'll be d20. i guess some people here are too young to know where the term rpg comes from. The basis for all mmo's comes from dnd.

i personally don't care, i would like a grind to unlock.  i would rather see the ability to be a droid, wear a cape and have a holster.

it doesn't matter anyways we now have a alternative to the nge, besides the duck. it will go like this

kotor mmo > ducks > NGE

it'll be like ADnD, i want to be a droid!!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I like how the splash page has stuff you will never see in game, like there is some Gcw going on 5 years after the fact. i also like how the cards have LOOT bigger than any other font on the card.. it's a winner!

 yes, it did need the star wars part. 98% or more people joined precu in the hopes of unlocking jedi, the rest of the good stuff came with it. even if the people don't admit it that is why they joined.

 ok, so you want to take precu and change it to non star wars mmo? that's more than just changing races you have to change basically everything that exists and the models for them within the game.. all armor and weapons, have to rename the planets change housing and building models. most furniture, all pets and mounts and most wild spawns, vehicles.. all that modeling would take forever.....i would totally play it though

 

Since they didn't even have jedi for the first year or so after go-live (give or take a few months), I'd have to say your 98% figure is way, way off.

Oh yeah.... well i guess you weren't there?  We didn't know the jedi system wasn't in place. They told us it was available and it was a huge selling point. Really it was in 6 months for sure cause we all got holo's for christmas. then people started to know what to do. The first unlocks were in november which was 5 months after launch or less...

like really, why would you comment on something you have no clue about?
