Don't believe there's a dedicated thread, and since they're starting to release information now, I figure it's time for one.

I just know me and my mmo crew that i been gaming with for about 8 years now are going to tear it up. Well, as long as it keeps looking good.

I can't ****ing wait for this shit. I've got two mad video game skills in this life:

"Lightsabers or Light Cycles; your ass is MINE".

Apparently you can accrue dark and light side points whether you're sith or republic, which itself will be a new concept in MMOs. Meaning you can play a redeemed sith or a fallen jedi, and your skills or jedi abilities will somehow reflect that. Which could make faction-based PvP a little difficult.

(at least I think that's what they're planning...)

But if the whole game is like what they're showing, I'm going to have to pass. I want to see a sense of scale, not running around doing dinky missions until I hit the level cap.

Everything we've seen in demos is from early-on in the game. Although they are not targetting hardcore gamers and say most of the 200 hours of scripted content per character can be soloed.

PvP and raiding have both been confirmed, however.

Silock · 08-26-2009, 10:30 AM

Well, that's good. I'd still like to see it in action before I make a final decision, though.

Hopefully I can get the wife in on the ground floor with this one. She just recently started playing WoW with me, and it's been a chore since I know everything about it and she doesn't.

Has any one seen the new gameplay from Gamescon on IGN the game is looking very nice for such an early build.

I think that is because most endgame will be pvp battles.. Well at least I hope so.. The good thing is they can come up with new villains/heroes by doing old republic..

I just want to see large scale battles (80-100 people) in man on man, vehicle, and space battles

I hope not, because I have zero interest in pvp. I'd like to have something to do once I hit the level cap.

Oh, speaking of space battles, they apparently are working towards having space in the game, but I don't know how.

They said there will be raid's but they also said there will be no true healer/tank class in the game so how raid's will work is anybody's guess.

I don't know about how they'd address healing, but the Sith Warrior class revealed in the ign video from gamescom seemed awfully tank-like to me. Melee combat, aoe enrage ability, and apparently can trait to defend your group from blaster fire.

I wondered how they were going to keep everyone from wanting to play a jedi. Now I see how: they've made the Jedi class very boring in combat, imo. It just doesn't look that exciting to play, to me. The sith warrior seemed to use the exact same attacks over and over. The fast-close ability, then slash slash slash with the saber.

keg in kc · 08-27-2009, 12:01 PM

Low-level toon I think. I don't know of any MMO that has real exciting varied skills until you get a lot of levels under you.

The problem with the lore is the villains or bosses would have to be people.. It is not like other mmo where the boss is 50ft tall and everyone can see him.. If the raid bosses are jedi/sith they would get lost with 20+ raiders all attacking..

And I do not think there will be healing classes in the game..

The game is hard to describe as a traditional mmo because of this, maybe eve online is the closest to it..

Valiant · 08-27-2009, 05:29 PM

Will be fun to see how they develop this game..

Sweet Daddy Hate · 08-27-2009, 07:42 PM

This game looks like it will be KOTOR with real-time combat.
