I was going to talk about Warhammer Online today, but I decided to talk about the possible Bioware/Lucas Arts MMO because of all the recent rumors. First off, none of this is for certain. All I know is that Bioware is making an MMO, and Lucas Arts has confirmed that they are working with Bioware for a Star Wars game. This could be the same game, or two different games. If a new Star Wars MMO is developed, it will probably be set in the Clone Wars because of the new movie coming out this August or a KotOR MMO. I really doubt it will be anything like Pre-CU SWG because all the other Star Wars games made by Bioware were a class/level system. So it will probably look something like NGE SWG, but hopefully much better. I really dont think there is any chance of the PvP turning in to "buff wars", in fact it could be quite good if it was made to be like warhammer online but with vehicles and more of a shooter play style. Of course, there is always the chance that Lucas Arts is absolutely ticked about what SOE did to SWG, and have hired Bioware to make a game like a new and improved Pre-CU SWG. Lets hope so.
Lets go on to what things will be like if there ISNT a new Star Wars MMO coming. Obviosly, the new Star Wars Bioware game will either be KotOR 3 or The Clone Wars game that is on the star wars website, but there is no info about it whatsoever. The Bioware MMO will probably be something along the lines of DDO2, but probably much better. I would not be suprised if the game is based HEAVILY off of D&D 4.0. That might not be that bad because Bioware is making it instead of Turbine, whose newer games haven't been very successful.
If they fix the bugs, it will easily be the best MMO on the market.
In fact, it already is imo, its better than WAR even with the bugs, and all the other MMOs are just more of the same WoW crap
I played at a friends house after that last patch, and it's great.
But my parents won't let me buy it -_-
they dont care that there are parental controls....
damn....its better than WAR....
corruption and dread are both crap compared to discord until like rank 25. seriously people. extra cleave damage is a joke, and damage on abilities with cooldowns is too. as for better auras....not that good, and not worth taking one of those paths. not until you get some of the abilities and tactics deep in the tree do you start to benefit from dread or corruption, and the only thing corruption improves thats really any good is Bane Shield, and you dont get that until rank 35-ish. Corruption gives you 2 improved auras and repel and your snare deal more damage, and of course the improved bane shield, which isnt any good until you actually HAVE bane shield.
Discord however, gives you an increase to the damage abilities you actually USE as well as 2 auras that are great for dealing damage with those abilities. And a better blast wave will be nice at rank18. But touch of palsy you dont get until rank 40.
My point is, discord is the only decent mastery until around rank 25, so I would go discord and respec to a different path (if you want) later.
But if you are already a different mastery, dont respec discord. Well, not unless you dont care about the cost anyways.
Edit: Discord is also compatible with a shield or a 2h, which ever you would prefer to use. Discord is by far the highest amount of 1h/shield damage you can do before bane shield. If mythic puts Enraged Blow back into Corruption, it will actually be worth it at lower levels, and it would help with tanking because of the increased threat generation. Right now, corruption doesnt help with tanking until high levels because improving those auras and damage on abilities with cooldowns doesnt help with aggro or mitigation much at all.
Originally posted by teabagYou do not make any sense, as we all knows that Sony is a fat greedy company that is too big to listen to it own fans as EA is doing now, bar the hardware side. And are you saying that funcom is a hardware company too?. Do funcom make consoles?, do they make Xbox?, Walkman? do Funcom have fat cash cows as fat as Sony?.
Let me remind you again that Sony can afford a buy-out both Microsoft and Funcom together if they wanted to do so.
SOE screwed up your game. You played it for a while, payed for it, loved it, then most likely quit when they changed it. Funcom lied and got you to pay for a game that was not at all what they said it was and you payed for it, but didn't enjoy it.
Funcom=worse
and some mmo's fail, SWG being one of them. All of SOE's other MMOs are great imo, except for the non-fantasy one, but, well, all non-fantasy MMOs except EVE dont even compare to fantasy MMOs. I dont like EVE, but some people do, and its the most successful scifi MMO ever.
How did you discover MMORPG.COM?
