Devs need to learn that people are sick of cut-paste template mmos...

- Insert hotbars, healthbars, minimap

- Insert typical D&D based classes with typical skills

- Add typical kill 25 boar quests

- Add a shallow pvp system of "taking over" keeps

- Add a few dungeon instances to grind gear.

 

Congrats, you created a wow clone. Come collect yor 200 dollars like the hundreds of other crappy clones.

This I agree with... I think it's more a clamor for reform from most people who are sick with the repetition and WoW clones. :(

If you had bothered to actually read beyond the title you'd know that's not true. :P

From Community Coordinator Andy Belford:

"For clarity:

Mythic is not "merging" with Bioware.

Mythic and Bioware remain independent EA studios within a larger MMO/RPG group. "

 

There we go. :p

I'm thinking EA isn't happy with Warhammer.

 

Well EA was looking at bioware and mythic side by side and said, "So this is the difference between a dev team... and a Great Dev team"

I think it's a serious blow to Mythic, seeing as they're the only one of the two with many years of experience in running MMOs. But honestly.... who couldn't see this coming? Warhammer has continued to plummet since last year... many weren't happy at all with Mark Jacobs' and his choices.. I think we can only guess how many subscriptions have been lost since 300K was announced. I would think people would be happy with this news of restructuring and not attack EA for this.. hasn't Age of Conan turned around with new leadership?

no.

Good news.. I think I'll be giving this a try. :p

 These are all viable options. I am sad to admit this but I have not played KOTOR.  How did the game handle character health? Did health regenerate over time? Was there medical tools at your disposal? Force powers?

We know the game will emphasize heroics (one vs. many), but will it also offer many vs. one ( traditional MMO Boss fights). This is where healers are heavily desired.

All this speculation on my part can easily be answered if I knew what you know in regards to KOTOR.  

If there is no real answer. (You rested after fights to regain health), then I suspect a MMO of this type will need some mechanism for big combat challanges.

My 2 cents was originally the droid angle. Namely because we know they performed medical services out of combat and a variety of other functions in the Star Wars world.

I am also inclined to think the Political Pet class thing will work too. We already know there are companions players get,  I suspect a politician with a laser gun and guards will work too as a crime lord . 

I haven't played KOTOR in years now, but IIRC, Light Side force users had healing abilities, and Dark Side had draining abilities, as well as many different healing items each. 

Also, I specifically remember them saying that the game will NOT feature many VS one battles, that they really wanted to avoid that, so there would not be healers quietly sitting in the back providing support (maybe companions, but not players... )

They've said it a few times, there would be no dedicated healer, each class will be able to use either abilities or items to heal.

It's nice to speculate, but I think he's waaaaay off, and clearly hasn't been following statements from Bioware. Crime Lord? Politician? Really? Why would they have a seperate Pilot class when they could give ships to Jedi, BHs, Smugglers, etc? They've already stated there won't be a dedicated healer class, that means no 'medic'. Gah.. pay attention!

FFIX.. Kuja.. <3

They must have been going along with the crowd's reaction. Everyone went wild when it was announced and the trailer showed, then groans and scattered applause when the 'online' popped up. It was hilarious :p

TERA does look beautiful and fun, but I think the two next "big" MMOs after Aion will be TOR and FFXIV, both of which I'm sure will battle it out for second place in the market and be huge successes.. TOR is being designed with a whole new philosophy of story and rich immersion with full VO and such, and we can only guess what SE has planned for XIV, but I'm sure it'll be astounding. :p

We'll see with TERA..

The part about the player customizable starships that could be 'stolen'  was very interesting too... that was in one of the dev diary videos for the planet Ord Mantell I think, where he teased and said they "will steal your starship'..  hehe

I stopped playing a few months after release after being disappointed, and most of my friends leaving.. sooo, I went back to some of my older games like FFXI, where I had a great time with my old friends.. I actually tried Darkfall with a guild and canceled that after two weeks.. now I think I'll try AION while I for SW:TOR. My friends are starting to convince me to return to WoW too.. so either WoW or Aion in the near future. :P

I see Mythic is really hard at work with patches and events, but I won't be returning to it.. ever, most likely.

Well.. read that post from the ahazi.org link from the OP. That was posted as a rumour in 2007 and most of the list was accurate.. TOR was announced in 2008.

I really enjoyed the first, along with the comic book. It's a great introduction to the story. :)

Also incase anyone missed it, there will be 19 of these timeline narratives. To get a small preview of their names, click on the blue arrows at the top right corner of the holo screen, or drag it from right to left. Some intresting titles for the upcoming updates.

That could mean that, while the main storyline for newly created Bounty Hunters might start out with the Sith, there might still be oppurtunity to change allegiances down the road.

Accomplishments of the short-lived BoBR: losing 7 capitals and getting DD'd.

What exactly happened?

I know that bob lost all their stuff to some theft or something but what happened after?

Also i am trying to access their forums but the eve-online website is taking ages to load for some reason..

Quick BoB downfall recap:

-Lost famous ticker, home space from a disgruntled director turned goon (who still had access after a month of inactivity)

-BoB regroup as "KenZoku", name gets mocked by the entire community. Google "KenZoku", first result for more laughs.

-Molle (BoB's leader) loses a Titan named "Darwin's Revenge" on his alt, on the exact real day of Darwin's 200th birthday.

-Goonswarm abandons their entire home space, invades Bob's home.

-KenZoku have their assets seigecamped 24/7 for a whole month in a station while the Goons pillage their home.

-Goons + coalition take over Delve completely.

-KenZoku breakout from the seige with help from AAA.

-CCP renames KenZoku to Band of Brothers Reloaded, BOBR = Beaver in russian. More laughs, and lots and lots of protests (www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp.)

EVE drama is the best drama.

I don't find they're anything alike. Warhammer is fragmented in zones, tiers and instances with almost no risk vs reward, completely linear gameplay, very casual-oriented, while Darkfall has an almost seamless world (besides some dungeon areas loading), and much harsher penalties, grind, etc, and more diversity. Darkfall and Warhammer appeal to different types of gamers.
