• • Jeff Freeman - Rest In Peace

  •  Man, this is a real shame. Jeff Freeman was a talented dev who just got dealt a bad situation. I was really looking forward to seeing what he and others were up to at Spaceflight. :(

     

    My best to his family. These situations are never easy

I also find it odd to have a ram/yak for travel in the mines. Why do developers always ruin games when expansions come along? It seems they all veer away from original game design.

    I didn' t think LOTRO would do it on the first expansion. They should refund the players' money that chose to life time subscribe because they made false promises of sticking to the lore. This is all my opinions and are not facts. I am just so confused to why MMORPGs do this when it has potential of making old players leave and possibly will not attract new players.  

    
     

    Saying that Rune Keeper is the same as a Hunter and a Ministrel is like saying that Hunters should get a refund in WOW because Mages do damage and Priests shuold get a refund because Druids can also heal.

    As far as lore goes, this isn't any worse than any other lore break they've done. I don't think you should base your decision on people screaming in the forums because they don't like the RK.

     

    I actually quit WoW because they butchered the class roles in the game, in my opinion WoW jumped the shark with the release of their first expansion. I don't play LOTRO but I can imagine this will be even worse. This class requires no cost to switch build, it is done on a cool down.

    Also I don't know how you can make a comparison of what I wrote and WoW Hunters and Mages. Do mages fill two rolls? As far as I know, they both are dps classes.

    
     

    Yes they are both DPS classes but it seemed like your point was that having another DPS class made it so there is no reason to play the original DPS class. Hunters have a different role than the Rune Keeper, just like Hunters have a different role than Mages in WOW. The fact that the RK can also heal (with HOTs) doesn't make the Hunter obsolete.

    Gamespot: 75% http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarsgalaxiesaned/index.html?tag=result;title;0

    IGN: 80% http://pc.ign.com/articles/428/428431p1.html

    PCGamer gave it a 77%

    Jump to Lightspeed scores were lower.

    Don't get me wrong, what SOE did was foolish but let's not say things that aren't true. SWG hardly got 10 out of 10s.
