[Rogean]

What's the latest opinions / reactions to the game

[Diggles]

WoW-like PvP, amazing story (duh), the 4 class archetypes are very different, pve is fun and challenging on most classes

[Diggles]

Like, I had to plan out how to do encounters on my Smuggler after I got off tutorial planet

[Diggles]

fuck you franswa

[Tuffpuppy]

Beta'd. Played the hell out of it. Will not buy. It is WoW with a Star Wars skin on it.

[Rhaj]

I didn't like it.

I am hoping velious gets released. Thats my next anticipated expansion.

Then its EQNext as long as its not easymode.

[Diggles]

if EQNext has as good as a commercial as EQOA did I will buy it.

[fastboy21]

eqnext and copernicus both have promise...but thats about all they have so far. both companies have barely released more than a small glimpse of even concept art at this point.

star wars, unfortunately, does indeed play like wow...i'm sure it will be very popular, but not with most folks from the old school "eq" fan base.

[EnnoiaII]

Can be played with eyes closed. Didn't die once in the 15ish hours i played. Didn't even attempt any sort of strategy, just rushed into every fight.

So...it's like a TR raid?




ZING!!!

diggles confirmed biodrone

there is no possible way that bioware is capable of writing a good story

You kidding me? KoTOR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Baldurs Gate, and Neverwinter Nights all had bad story lines? Really? REALLY?

[Drem]

my reaction is bioware is terrible w/o black isle and every game they ever made since and including neverwinter nights sucks ass. except the first KOTOR

this is definitely going to suck ass

[Diggles]

ya i've never heard the word holocaust used in any other context than world war II. didn't even know it had a meaning outside of that. using its definition as a back up because it's not "The Holocaust" is a pretty fucking poor defense for being a skinhead so you can have a guild named Holocaust
Translation: I have the vocabulary of a fucking goldfish.
Translation of translation: You can't say anything sucks ass.

[Razdeline]

I have been in the beta test for the past 9? months now. Game is leaps and bounds above where it was.

Some cool facts:

Developers arent allowing queue's in the game for anything BUT pvp warzones. Reason for this is that they do not want to ruin the immersion of the game.

Gear from pvp is only achievable at certain levels, so people don't just sit in the queue all day.

Questing comes with the story, so it makes it more... realistic/immersive. The story is good, Bioware has an outstanding track record with implementing that into their games (regardless of what people say here)

World pvp.(if you are on a pvp server)

Ships, and a railshooter...But it becomes more interesting the farther up you go in completing them. Most are pretty difficult. Mainly a timesink, but does yield rewards.

From the most part, going light side is pretty boring, but if you go dark side the storyline gets pretty fucked up(in a good way).

The raiding in it is pretty dynamic, with WoW based hardmodes etc.

World bosses on every planet(contested).

Combat is fun and unique, especially when doing it in PVP. Nothing like pushing people off cliffs or into fire.

OK... On a side note in all the builds i tested Bioware didn't let a lot of people in, so by the time the build ended there was only a handful of max level characters to do bosses etc. BUT id imagine that once the game releases and the player bases mature you will see a lot of hardcore competition for contested shit, and it will be even more fun on a pvp server.

[Diggles]

People were contesting the fuck out of the boss in that open dungeon on the jedi home planet. I managed to get a kill on it and grabbed a superior chest piece

[Amelinda]

I am definitely not looking forward to SWTOR being released early.

fuck swtor

:(

seriously.

[Nizzarr]

fuck swtor

:(

seriously.

[Knuckle]

Not impressed by yet another WoW clone that requires face bashing on the keyboard with shit wow instanced PVP. Nothing to see here.

[pickled_heretic]

shit wow instanced PVP

oh man, fair fights are so lame.

[dannuic]

You all forgot to mention the most important reason not to play SWTOR.

star wars is lame.

Plus I beta'd for it since about August, and was not impressed in any way. It felt like WoW with some half-assed story thrown on top of it. (half-assed = recycled from previous games, or even just repeated within the game itself).

[pickled_heretic]

if the warbattlegroundfronts are fun and you can level from them, i couldn't care less about jedi or crappy stories or whatever. as i said in another thread, i leveled exclusively off of warfronts from 1-35 on warhammer online and i had a blast. i only started having reservations about the game once i saw what the endgame was like.

[Masq]

i played the beta weekend a few times, the game is terrible

[Gwence]

so if I bought the pre-order today would I be able to start playing tomorrow??

also what server are folks going to play on?

[Diggles]

early access for you begins when you preordered. You'd probably get the 19th as a date.

[Gwence]

so not really worth it?

[Diggles]

well if you're going to buy it it just lets you buy it earlier, I think you might get a lightsaber crystal or something for preordering

[GETINMYVAN]

Not impressed by yet another game threatening the population of the game I play, that requires more than pressing Q and going afk with more interactive and engaging pvp than the 12 year old game I play. Nothing to see here.

fix't.

[Knuckle]

I seriously doubt population on red99 will fluxtuate even 5% from some shit mmo. theres a reason we play a 12 year old game, it's not because it caters to 13 year old sperglords.

[Diggles]

it's a star wars game, it mostly caters to 40 year old sperglords who get angry whenever I call jawas "sand ewoks"

[Diggles]

also the reason you're playing a 12 year old game is because you miss the essence of your youth that you lost to millions of hours of grinding for jboots and corpse runs. You're essentially having a nerdy mid life crisis and you strike out at anything that dare threaten your inner sanctum of childhood

[GETINMYVAN]

You're probably right in the assumption that the population of red99 won't fluxate even 5%, but that's only because the population of red99 consists mostly of people trying to relive the glory days of when they were young and actually had friends on the internet. Let's not glorify PVP on Everquest like it makes you some kind of hardcore badass because you do it. It was shit easy in 1999 and it's shit easy now, the only thing that matters at the end of the day is that the guild tag that you're wearing has the biggest zerg.

The reason games like WOW and SWTOR have(will have) millions of subscribers is because they're actually fun. You can call everyone who will play these games mindless 13 year old sperglords, but keep in mind if you're careful, in Everquest you could level 1-50 by just pressing Q.

[pickled_heretic]

I seriously doubt population on red99 will fluxtuate even 5% from some shit mmo. theres a reason we play a 12 year old game, it's not because it caters to 13 year old sperglords.

everquest gameplay with a modern graphics update? would that make you happy? what would make you happy?

[Knuckle]

[Knuckle]

everquest gameplay with a modern graphics update? would that make you happy? what would make you happy?

Red99 makes me happy. A solid non instanced world that doesn't try to make excuses for removing static zones based on population. Make more servers, charge more per month, real world dynamics are worth fighting over. Fighting like a fucking faggot in a premade instance every 20minutes with gay shit like capture the flag is some elementary school recess bullshit.

Nah bro, not everyone looked like you at 17 :(
I like everquest because it's a static world.
I played wow in highschool also(omg). And vanilla wow was *okay*.
EQ Classic superior.

all the angsty teenage nerds are going to be dark side. JEDI KNIGHT FOR LIFE

[Diggles]

this will be the first faction based MMO that i will be starting on the good guys with. Smuggler just cant be passed up. FOR THE REPUBLIC

[GETINMYVAN]

I'll be playing Empire simply because Republic can't pick the Mercenary and Trooper/Commando just seems kinda boring. Really, name one "Trooper" that instantly comes to mind in the Star Wars universe...

[Diggles]

Commander Cody!

[oblexsis]

Ill be going trooper vanguard myself

[Diggles]

Smuggler Scoundrel :D

[Tiggles]

Just got in for my early access

Tiggles, Imperial Agent on Bondar Crystal pvp

[pickled_heretic]

i have learned from warhammer online that the evil/dark/edgy side will always be overpopulated. that is why GO GO GOOD TEAM!

however, since everyone thinks jedis are cool there might be an inversion here. so i don't know what the pop will be like. i would prefer to be on the underpopulated side for the sake of pvp queues and to kick ass as the underdogs in the open world.

[Harrison]

Not impressed by yet another WoW clone that requires face bashing on the keyboard with shit wow instanced PVP. Nothing to see here. I can't handle skill-based pvp.

mostly fuck video game releases in the month of december but especially this one.

i can't wait for instanced pvp jedi wars (no i'm not being sarcastic)

[Khurak]

Bondar Crystal PvP here.
Will be looking for you Tiggles as i will be playing Light Side :)
Jedi Knight will be my main, i'll post name when i am sure to get it.
Will also try Smuggler and Sith Assassin.
My Guild from WAR, Aion, DAoC, Rift is going there so will happily go with them, sadly they never wanted to come to P99 or Red99 :(

I played both Beta week-ends and there is some fantastic things in that game.
Even if you take away the IP and the feeling that BioWare is doing better "Star Wars" things that Lucas is these days...
To sum it up as a WoW clone is going way too fast and completely by passing a lot of the game, it may look good on a forum but does not, imo, do the game justice.

Storylines are incredible for an online game, with the issue that you also see others doing the same thing (very odd feeling).
Character creation was a mess in Beta, hopefully will be very different in live.
The UI was a Joke, again should be changed in live.
The classes themselves really gave you the feeling to play that archetype, and that was very well rendered.
The combat system is good at lower levels, i cannot comment on it a high level since i did not try it.
Crafting looks promising and the other crew skills need to be explored.
Waiting to see how space travel and starships work now.
The voice on system is very nice, certainly immersive.
The constant instancing for storyline or small instances is certainly not the EQ way, but unavoidable for a large scale RPG.
Please note that I use the term RPG as i am not sure it is a full MMO yet, likely high level content will clarify that.
It is clear that choices have consequences (yay an RPG) and that you will not be able to get away with it with a few hours of faction grinding...
Companion system allows everyone to play a pet class if needed, at times too powerful but not more than a Mage or Necro.

Overall i would suggest peeps try it out really (ie 5 days + of played time) to have a real opinion for themselves.
Me my judgement is still out, even though positive for now.

the only mmo i look forward is GW 2. They actually make things difference and have DAOC Style Pvp. Server vs Server vs Server. 3 Server PvP with boni for ur server if u do good and no player limit

[mourning]

awful.

[Slave]

I played the game for the beta all weekend, I've got a couple of level 10 characters, and I'll probably keep playing till they shut it down.

Because this will be the last I play it until it spawns private servers.

It's very fun and engaging, perfect for kids just getting into MMOs. The graphics are subpar in this beta release, just like Harrison said. It will remind you nothing more of a WoW-ized KOTOR, I've been calling it Star WoWs. The itemization, stats, class-race-team balance and quests are exactly the same as WoW.

The difference is that you get a lot of cutscenes with 3 conversation choices to make in order to push your dark or light side points, which leads to further gear options. Basic KOTOR stuff, and it's hit-or-miss. A lot of conversations are very dull and you'll just want to get back to leveling/questing so you see what your new overpowered skill will be.

You get specialized classes later that branch off your main class and I haven't seen them but I would assume they work like the '3 tree' wow/diablo system, which is very old and bland stuff.

TOR will steal the Star Wars and sci-fi crowd from WoW, no question, it is a better game. I believe it will take the crown of #1 subscriptions from WoW within 18 months after launch.

And yet, there is no immersion. Combat is very repetitive and easy: mobs are tethered so you can just kill one, run, and return, even on the most elite dungeons until the final boss. All your abilities are supercharged and disgustingly powerful and effective to the point where you could simply mash buttons and still win. THere is basically ZERO consequences to death: a medical droid was dispatched to my location, where it proceeded to resurrect me and make me invincible for 10 seconds. It's like a GM friend coming to help you every time you die.

The cutscenes often seem tacked on and sometimes you get a very bad voice actor, and I'm talking the same ones from KOTOR and KOTOR2 that put you to sleep. The group storyline scenes are quite fun, and for once original. You gain Social points from grouping and doing quests, the rank of which determines your use of some social items like a targeting system that shows other people what you're attacking.

In the end, there is just no overriding reason for me to continue playing this game to make the same Inquisitor or Bounty Hunter as everyone else at level 50, doing instanced dungeons in one of 100 servers. Here is a conversation with someone else that plays WoW: "I play WoW" "Oh damn bro, me too! What server are you on?" "Wanderhome." "Oh, I'm on Gilthanis. Damn."

With today's gaming market, honestly you'd better find a better system than monthly payments if you want me to play your game, and you'd better be doing something totally new and amazing. There are so many high quality free offerings out there now, from PotBS, City of Heroes, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU emu), and EverQuest emu, to name a few. I'll play it once it's free to experience the story content.

That's all I have to say about that.

[Ssleeve]

/thread

[Diggles]

Gaming-BBY: >>Gabe: We currently have World Bosses with artifact loot that (players can fight over these on PvP servers) in the open worlds. We are considering adding more to various other locations including potential Illum and Outlaw’s Den.

Okay, there you go. SWTOR will have EQ like raids.

[Razdeline]

Pussies are light side...just sayin.

[Razdeline]

Also if you have any feedback on the game from a beta test weekend (that's 2 days for you RnF retards) Uninstall and rethink your life.

[pickled_heretic]

This kind of talk is exactly why the good team is always the best.

Jedi = killing you with kindness. And lightsabers

[Nedala]

Im going to play on a pvp server, on the side that has fewer people, i guess that will be the good side.

Instanced pvp sucks tho, EQ2 pvp was so much better before battlegrounds killed them. Open world pvp ftw!

[pickled_heretic]

Instanced pvp sucks tho

Incorrect.

[pickled_heretic]

I'm going to level from 1-50 with the pvp instances.

[Nedala]

Well its nice to level, i personally always had a lot more fun in open world pvp. I played EQ2 on the pvp server a long time, stopped shortly after they released battlegrounds (instanced pvp), cause it killed the open world pvp :(

[Diggles]

I like instanced pvp just because SWTOR managed to pull off the "war" feel of the game. Objectives make sense, not "PLAY CAPTURE THE FLAG WITH BAD GUISE"

[Tiggles]

I'm lvl 20 just from pvp alone for the most part

[Diggles]

Did you do the leveling exploit crap? (That's Biowares fault for not inviting enough people)

[pickled_heretic]

i'll be honest, i don't remember the last time that i've ever enjoyed open world pvp. in darkfall, i would run around with a couple of friends for 2 hours looking for some pvp, and we'd see at most a few naked miners before getting run off by a zerg of 15+ players. i can nearly count the number of times i encountered open world pvp in warhammer online (i had a max level char), it might have been less than 10 times. there were a few satisfying encounters on rift but again it was rare to see pvp and when it was it was mostly a nuisance.

[Amelinda]

rogean hates me and won't let me have an animated gif lilke he lets diggles have.

Who needs shielding when you're a towel?

[Diggles]

tomatoes do.

[Estrang]

Im glad all you fools are lusting after this amelinda girl cause that leaves Secret for me and i will lick her crevices until they chafe

[Hasbinbad]

I bet Amelinda wouldn't bother to date any of the people on this server because i bet she has enough p99 bullshit in her life and doesn't want more.

no offense peeps~
Yeah you let big Hasbinbad take you out a couple times, I'll have you singing a different tune. :D

[Estrang]

i wish i was her gynocologist

[Hasbinbad]

Also, lol @ splurt and lesser shielding.

[Hasbinbad]

i wish i was her gynocologist
You can't even spell gynecologist.

[Estrang]

whats that have to do with me eating out secrets vagina

[Uthgaard]

That's not a vagina.

[Hasbinbad]

[Tiggles]

is there any way to check republic vs empire population imbalance on a server ahead of time

[Duie]

Never know amelinda.... He may even spring for the supersize fries !!

[Hasbinbad]

Value meal all the way, I don't pay to kick it.

[Duie]

So i got my access this morning. now to figure out where everyone I play these games w/ are gonna be.......Are you planning to play amelinda or did the way they did the early access turn you off?

[pickled_heretic]

God I wish.

if i manage to find disposable income enough to build a box that will run swtor i'll give it a try. though it has several strikes against it for me already.

[Duie]

well figers crossed that you do find the income. the game is very fun and refreshing from my perspective . Then again, I never did play WoW either

[Amelinda]

i hated WoW

[pickled_heretic]

i didn't play wow either. i've played most of the other major mmo releases since then. i didn't play aion but i know i didn't miss much.

today's the day bros.

of course, I have a 12 hour day today so meh

honestly though what else is there to innovate? if it were easy someone would have done it by now.

Youtube tera or gw2.

[liveitup1216]

Or even planetside 2

[Diggles]

GW2 is going to flop hard, they're trying to do EVERYTHING differently instead of just the stuff that needs changed.

[liveitup1216]

Its possible but id rather give my money on that gamble than to play the same game with star wars stuff plastered over it. Atleast they're trying. Non of it looks like its gona flop though as far as gw2 looks.

[Diggles]

if you really think SWTOR is just a WoW clone you probably should do more than read reddit for game reviews :[

[liveitup1216]

Ps your sig gif plays super fast on my phone and looks even funnier.

[messiah_b]

Mechanically very much a wow clone in SW universe, but the story lines were very enjoyable in my opinion. I played Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent and the first 15 levels or so feel more like KOTOR than an MMO and I would suggest the game if you liked Kotor / WOW.

[liveitup1216]

I watched my cousin play beta up til level 11, for the most part it was very uninteresting to me. Were all jaded from the same old Mmo formula is pretty much what I think. Its by far a solid game, but when compared to pretty much every other, then yes its another clone.

[pickled_heretic]

Youtube tera or gw2.

i read the gw2 wiki, it sounds like an exact copy of guild wars with persistence added in some cases. that's not necessarily a bad thing if you like gw1 - but to call it innovation? please.

[Diggles]

Great, you watched the tutorial that was meant to be familiar to mmo players to help them out. Try watching actual PvP or flashpoints.

[liveitup1216]

The dynamic environment and questing alone looks superior to any existing system. And they stated the whole world to be persistent minus dungeons. Breaking the holy trinity alone is going to be a huge dynamic change.

[Diggles]

Dynamic, where have I heard all of that before? RIFT. That's it!

[Diggles]

Breaking the holy trinity: RIFT!

Persistant, dynamic environments: RIFT!

[messiah_b]

I will admit that the 3 flashpoints I did were awesome just because there were freaking sith flying everywhere and blaster's going off everywhere. The force abilities and ranged combat, at least when first encountered, do seem to add something new to the instanced dungeon run.

[pickled_heretic]

and tera - i've known about tera online for a while,　i played the japanese version a bit and to call it anything other than generic korean pvp mmo is flat out lying. once again, that isn't a bad thing, but it's not innovative, it's an exact copy of what already exists.

[pickled_heretic]

Breaking the holy trinity: RIFT!

Persistant, dynamic environments: RIFT!

rift was fun. for a while

[liveitup1216]

rift was fun. for a while

Rift didn't touch the holy trinity. There's still healers and tanks.

[liveitup1216]

Nor did it have dynamic zones. Rifts and invasions =! Dynamic. Bw has entire areas changing based on who quested through there recently.

[pickled_heretic]

i agree about rift, the extent of dynamism was losing quest hubs for a few minutes due to not responding to invasions. but honestly the blurb about "entire areas changing based on who quested there", that sounds really lame.

[liveitup1216]

Gw2*. Im just saying it has more potential than swtor to ME because its doing something different. Screaming lolriftfanboy is no different than me going lolswtorfanboy. All im saying is swtor is great if you've never played anything else churned out and.just enjoy story in your game.

[pickled_heretic]

we shall have to wait to see what gw2 offers that gw1 didn't.

(mesmer for life)

[liveitup1216]

Im pissed I was set on necro finally now there's mesmer and im torn again. And yes ill more than likely wait for them to do trial accounts for swtor to try it. Im a flaming hypocrite.

[Amelinda]

you can be a hypocrite if you want to. most of us are :)

[Diggles]

AKA Amelinda is playing SWTOR right now

[Diggles]

I got my fucking invite but i'm at work until 8 tonight. Taking tomorrow off to enjoy it tho :D

[Amelinda]

untrue.

[Auvdar]

I pre-ordered on the the 12'th of this month so I'm not even sure I will get in :( If I do, probably the 19'th, right before they shut down for release.

Skyrim keeps me busy tho.

[liveitup1216]

lolz at WoW, but its still a pretty good overview of the innovations i was mentioning.

[Lulz Sect]

Red99 makes me happy. A solid non instanced world that doesn't try to make excuses for removing static zones based on population. Make more servers, charge more per month, real world dynamics are worth fighting over. Fighting like a fucking faggot in a premade instance every 20minutes with gay shit like capture the flag is some elementary school recess bullshit.

[Khurak]

Been there since the 14th.
Sadly Character creation and UI are still far from a 2011 MMO or game.
Storylines and gameplay however are really nice for me.

[Amelinda]

I've been pretty cranky in this thread.

crappy week.

I apologize.

srsly.

They should add up all these free return invite days and just let me play ever other month for free.

Bondar Crystal PvP here.
Will be looking for you Tiggles as i will be playing Light Side :)
Jedi Knight will be my main, i'll post name when i am sure to get it.
Will also try Smuggler and Sith Assassin.
My Guild from WAR, Aion, DAoC, Rift is going there so will happily go with them, sadly they never wanted to come to P99 or Red99 :(

I played both Beta week-ends and there is some fantastic things in that game.
Even if you take away the IP and the feeling that BioWare is doing better "Star Wars" things that Lucas is these days...
To sum it up as a WoW clone is going way too fast and completely by passing a lot of the game, it may look good on a forum but does not, imo, do the game justice.

Storylines are incredible for an online game, with the issue that you also see others doing the same thing (very odd feeling).
Character creation was a mess in Beta, hopefully will be very different in live.
The UI was a Joke, again should be changed in live.
The classes themselves really gave you the feeling to play that archetype, and that was very well rendered.
The combat system is good at lower levels, i cannot comment on it a high level since i did not try it.
Crafting looks promising and the other crew skills need to be explored.
Waiting to see how space travel and starships work now.
The voice on system is very nice, certainly immersive.
The constant instancing for storyline or small instances is certainly not the EQ way, but unavoidable for a large scale RPG.
Please note that I use the term RPG as i am not sure it is a full MMO yet, likely high level content will clarify that.
It is clear that choices have consequences (yay an RPG) and that you will not be able to get away with it with a few hours of faction grinding...
Companion system allows everyone to play a pet class if needed, at times too powerful but not more than a Mage or Necro.

Overall i would suggest peeps try it out really (ie 5 days + of played time) to have a real opinion for themselves.
Me my judgement is still out, even though positive for now.

Take this guy's advice to heart, he played all the shitty MMO's of the past 5 years and liked them enough to make it into a guild in all of them.

[Khurak]

How come trolling some of the games i played, makes your opinion on that game relevant ?
You may, or not, have played it already, maybe more than i did. Please post about that, that may be relevant :)

[Diggles]

Tuko is a verified retard because he thinks DAoC was bad.
