I was reading the OBoards since I'm giving SWG another try and spotted this just moments ago.

You see, I paid good money out of my pocket to transfer 16 toons, some at a cost of $100 US because I was swapping toons between accounts as well as servers.

All I know that transfer for 1 character costs 50$? So I was thinking WTF? Someone just popped atleast 800$ and probably alot more to transfer characters in MMORPG

Character graphics are still pretty good if you don't move but everything else on the ground is just bad.

Avast!

Free, No problems with games so far, You can get it in pretty much any language.

It was only about Dragon Age.

The missions are some of the worst I have ever seen in an MMO.  The grind in SWG today is unbearably boring and empty.  I'm glad you enjoy it, that's your opinion, but the missions are dreadful and the servers are empty.

 

If you think SWG quests are boring try WOW,EQ2,AC,CONAN,and every other mmo because they are all basically the same with a different twist.

I think he means how the quests work in SWG make it boring. It goes like this "you need to kill 10 of these thiefs" and once you have done that another objective pops up "you need kill 15 of these commandos" even though you already killed like 30 commandos and after that another enemy type kill objective pops up and you already have killed about 50 of those so far.

Thats the typical mission and it's repeated to boredom in Legacy quest line.

Interesting. I guess it cannot be another Battlefront since there clearly reads Old Republic and it can't be KotOR3 since its suppose to be online game?

Ok game, very simple and cookie-cutter (I heard theres coming some fixing on that later). Graphics are pretty nice and a bit cartoony.

If you are into PVE theres lots of stuff to do but not much for PVP'er.

So are dwarves finaly getting new classes? Warden seems to be agile fighter so probably not for dwarves but what about Runekeeper?

What part are you talking about? The legendaries? Those are coming with Moria.

Yep the legendary stuff. So I'm guessing the addon is coming atleast before Christmas.

Can I has sum pudding plz?

Oh well I'm happy you like it. I still have few weeks to try liking it.

So NPCs shooting through floors and walls, Warping around, Running around faster than speeders and aggroing really late is not sub-standard?

The only really annoying thing I've encountered that's anything like you mention is the occasional serious bit of weird lag where you're apparently attacking but not attacking, but yet you are being attacked.  If it happens too much I'll have to drop the game, but so far it's only happened occasionally.

I have been playing the game few days now (the free month SOE gave)

Every time I run out of bunker and NPC aggro(10 seconds after I've run past them) they start shooting me through the floor/wall. Also when luring a target using a corner so it would come to you but they shoot through the wall. Sometimes I get "Can't see target" even if theres nothing between me and the target.

Animation and the NPC speeds are just ridiculous most of the time. Why can't they just fix it?

The game is playable but not worth 15$/month

So NPCs shooting through floors and walls, Warping around, Running around faster than speeders and aggroing really late is not sub-standard?

Oh so that is "siege pvp" one big field and 2 groups of people with ranged classes doing the hit and run tactic?

My vote goes to "Wait for War" and then it isn't good enough and more QQ

I also have 30 days free and been playing few hours a day. I'm trying to do the legacy on Naboo but it is so boring. Is there no other way to level up? (I know the 10 missions per day from terminals)

Combat is still pretty horrible with all the flashing ball effects and npc running around almost lightspeed. Theres the slider for particle effects in options but that really doesn't help at all. The combat still looks ridiculous even if you set it to zero.

LOTRO is alot like WoW but theres few differences like

- Your equipment don't mean that much except maybe weapon for certain classes.

- Stats don't really mean that much.

- Tallents or in LOTROs case traits don't mean that much.

Not nessesarily a bad thing but takes some of the fun away from me. Basicly it is very easy game for MMO newbies because you really can't screw up your character.

Every time I make a new char. I just go and fish with him for the rest of the day lol.

 

Roll a captain, they are the best fishermen ;)

 

Lmao how so?

They yell really loud so the fish just drop dead and start to float.

You can look unique now but I'll maybe subscribing back once my character can be a little bit more unique.

I really like how this Thief looks like.

 

Well, supposedly they are looking into ways to specialize more

"Jeffrey Steefel:: Probably both. In other words, for some people that want a completely new class and don't mind going through the entire thing, who don't mind starting a new alt [alternate character] because they've been through the whole game once or twice, eventually there'll be opportunities for new classes. And by the same token for people, to your point, who don't want to go back to square one and just want to continue I THINK THERE WILL BE WAYS TO ENHANCE THEIR EXISTING CLASSES. THESE ARE IDEAS. Now I'm in idea mode which Adam hates. WHETHER IT'S PRESTIGE CLASSES OR LEGENDARY TRAITS THAT SO SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGE YOUR CLASS IT ALMOST MAKES IT AN ENHANCED CLASS OR NEW CLASS THAT DOESN'T START AT THE BEGINNING. Those are all possibilities that we're considering. It's something that is also a part of our internal discussions for next year."

 

"WarCry: Beneros: Any plans to make classes more unique, I often feel like im the same as every other hunter my class, a branching system would be neat.
TensLOTRO: For Book 12 we've wrapped up our major class updates with the Month of the Guardian and Burglar.
TensLOTRO: But, to be perfectly honest, we think that giving our classes more customization options is neat too.
TensLOTRO: So much so, it's currently a large portion of what the Systems Team is working on, now that we've got our major class updates out of the way.
TensLOTRO: While I can't reveal any hard details, I can say that future class specialization will lean heavily on Traits, Items, and a feature to be announced at a later date.
TensLOTRO: Don't worry - we're on it"

 

I'ts possible that feature they mention is the legendary items which can be customized, but I'm thinking that that would fall under the "item" category that he mentioned.  So I hope it's some kind of talent tree that's layered on top of the trait system.

Ok! Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll get back to LOTRO after the expansion or when ever they are planing to add that.

That would take a lot of "genetic programming"... perhaps we still don't have the infrastructure to make it happen.

 

Maybe in the next few years... I'd like to see MMOs using technology such as Google Ads and their "Crystal Ball Stuff" to increase the gaming experience.

An ever-changing game based on our preferences, historical experience and the environment?! It hurts...

 

All I see is more "dumbing down" in the future. EQ2 had more complex system then WoW dumbed it down a bit and then LOTRO dumbed it down even more.

We'll never be really unique in mmos... :P

Yeah we can't be 100% unique but I'd like if the classes weren't carbon copys.
