Hey that's about every TV show, movie, and video game...ahh what am i saying that is pretty much anything I have watched or read in the past 12 years. Very rarely do i see/read a unique story that I couldn't figure out the what was going to happen.

If it even remotely resembles gw1, then yes it is. It's just more in your face about having a central hub to gather a group than Stormwind or Ogrimmar, and the fleets are.

Be prepared to be disappointed in GW2, then. Be prepared to be disappointed in any mmo that does not launch without bugs and 7 years worth of content.

Space is big, really really big.

Lol, someone reported my first post in this thread. Ahh well.

I know the fight you are referring too. They may take a minute to kill, but CC refresh will be up by then as well...just have to stay on top of it. I'm fairly certain a couple of those guys can't be CC'd, so don't waste the timer on the ones who can't.

Need to have that Healer CC one(sage and scoundrel get 1 minute cc, dunno about the trooper lines), and if anyone else in your group can CC to get another one. CC is more important in this game than it has been in recent games.

So...by that reasoning punkbuster is totally unnecessary if companies like DICE just decide what code they will and will not allow right? Really?

No, but their aggro range is so low that you almost have to run over them to get them to attack.

Actually, not replying to them means exactly that. They would have to put every datacron in an area that you could not use mounts...so yeah, no.

Trolls in 3 2 1..

They gave a real reason. Breaking the Datacron puzzles. You just chose to ignore those posts.

Off topic, but EQ2 still runs like crap for me. And I have more than tripled the cpu/gpu/ram that I had when the game launched.

The armor mod that has a rating equivalent to that helms rating. Then the same level mod/enhancement, most likely.

But changing from an Assassin to a Sorcerer IS like changing from a warrior to a mage. Actually, it's like changing from a warrior/rogue to a mage/priest.

Umm, the Scoundrel and Operative, the other two classes in the Smuggler and Imperial Agent stories, are actually healer types. I have a 21 scoundrel and enjoy him a great deal (but I still prefer force wielders so I haven't leveled him up as much as i'd like) i also plan to give the Sniper a try, the other IA class.

People that like the current mini-game and don't want to see a full blown sim...you know they can leave the mini-game in...right? I do hope they give us a fighter sim. I really like the empire and republic fighters they have designed, except for that shark-finned A-Wing looking thing you use to travel from the station to the battleships in. Haven't seen what the Empire uses there. And the reason the genre is dead? Because they won't make any! I guarantee you if they rebooted the original X-Wing game with 2012 graphics, and full support for a myriad of controllers in addition to mouse and keyboard, it would sell like crazy. XvT always had full servers back in the day. Same for XW: Alliance. If they want to put a good free roaming space sim into this game. They should really talk to Totally Games and Lawrence Holland.

Umm, I learned at 13 that the sentinel combat mechanics aren't to my liking. I also learned that neither the trooper nor its mirror are to my liking by level 12 or so, as well. So no, not everyone needs a lot of levels to figure this out.

And there is were it all falls apart. They want it NOW! <stomps foot> NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!

You have wasted more time arguing semantics, than you would have re-rolling. My first Knight was a sentinel. I got to 13 before I realized I don't like the way their combat works. I re-rolled to Guardian. It took you twice as long to figure it out, that means that up until a certain difficulty point you actually liked how the class played. Then you hit a certain point and realized that the sent can't do something that a guardian can, now you want to just switch... Like going from Mercenary to Armsman, will never happen. They will remove the AC idea (like they eventually did in DAoC and EQ2) before they will allow you to change your *class*, despite whatever play on words you try to use to argue your point. Although I do like the one guys idea. Let them respec, the cost of that respec is to have your character reset to level 10. Just a complete rollback to level 10.

What did you have in that 70man eq raid a decade ago? A voodoo 16 meg? and 128k ram? The engine complexity and code for EQ back then was probably a quarter of the size for games today. And yes, people still had issues with that game even on high end (for the time) machines.

I had the same cpu as you, the same vid card, not overclocked, but twice the ram @800mhz ddr2. In fleet and certain areas. 15fps. Everywhere else 30-40fps. I upgraded to a phenom2 x6 1050t, 1333 ddr3 16gig, and a new motherboard so I could put my SLI configuration back in. same version cards, still no overclocking done. In fleet and certain areas, 27-40fps. everywhere else, 60-108 (I applied vsync and it sits steady at 55-60fps. srs bizns gamers will still say that fps is crap...but no, it really isn't. Since *I* couldn't tell a difference between 108fps and 60fps, and it is my rig, not theirs.

The reason most of the games that had this set up at launch and now don't are because of people like you that refuse to understand that the Advanced Class is a class. And eventually, the developers have to accommodate the lowest common denominator. which is you.

And, they use to be able to, before the change in talents. Arms could also dual wield then too. Your point? In DAoC, Armsman, Paladin, and Reaver could all equip a shield...are they the same class because at one point they all started with the Fighter Baseline?

There are no more corpse runs in EQ. You respawn with all your gear. Just xp losses. You can also summon your corpse to the guild lobby now. EQ is on easy mode
