wow, this is what modders have done with freespace 2 now! WTB this treatment for DAoC!!!!!

I did two: I'm just pointing out it did not age well. In addition the server synch issue that were a hug issue for mele are not fixed in 2011 which is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of very good ideas wrapped into that game but people tend to overlook some of its serious issues which games made within 1-3 years of it did not have and which were never fixed. 2001 isn't really an excuse for how terrible the engine really was. In terms of engines freespace 2 by volition from 1999 still hold up today. It was not an MMO but it did support 32v32 in 1999 while looking....like.... Its so well built it still scales on modern hardware

Omg, DAoC.....I remember that game being pretty sick back in the day. I wonder if people still play it; lets see if there are and ......Oh.....Hm....looks like nostalgia clouded my vision. Mele is less awsome than I remember it being and more "billy jean is not my lover" if you get my drift. 3:28 if you don't.

Statements are just opinions unless backed with examples

Kuari: I'm not really talking about gunslingers: I feel your pain. You are forced into being immobile as a slinger and due to the fact that you can't turn in cover: you need autoface until they change cover. Basically gunslinger needs a revamp in pvp to be less dependent on cover. I am talking about the other ranged classes as the representation is low for slingers.

Moot point: mele has instant abilities and don't need it. Remove it for both. You know one of the biggest reasons Square Enix's FF mmo failed? no ability to jump

Your logical fallacy is showing: Your playing a game were people with energy swords are fighting people with high powered energy weapons. To say that jumping around is ridiculous when a Jedi/Sith launches 30 feet strait up and 30 yards laterally and sticks a light saber in your chest. You know whats also ridiculous: basketball. All that jumping around like cracked out bunnies trying to rebound a ball; the game is about teamwork, coordination and reacting to what the other team is doing; not hopping around like a cracked out bunny. Jumping provides a competitive advantage. I'm a caster; I jump around like a cracked out bunny because it can provide a competitive advantage. If someone charges you mid jump your momentum will give you a little bit more of a gap. Don't act like mele are the only people who jump. Watch my vid: count the jumps. 2:20 I run through some casts, abuse!!!!! http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=163905

Then it can be enabled: because I definitely autoface as a slinger. I see my resolve bar go white, rakka medpack, GG mele!

So standing still trying to target a missile while spinning (without even moving your feet; terrible animation) while someone is swinging a lightsaber at your face that is realism for you. In every single mmo made to date (this is a plus for all of them) being in mele range as a ranged cast is a "get the hell out of there" moment and not a "lets keep casting moment". If you sit in mele range and cast, you deserve to die; this is by a caster for casters.

Oh no he is running away from me so I can't attack him ABUSE!!!! How is that any different from running through or past someone trying to cast at you? The silly thing is that I could run right next to (not even through) you character and achieve the same effect. Here's a challenge; the only point I hear for autoface is that your mad because getting run through interrupts your casts. Can you argue your point without that example? Say if the casting was similar to rift; where you don't actually turn but that cast will go off anyway? "Why bother with interrupts if you can just run through your enemy casters? How does that promote skill based PVP?" More options always create more skill, that is a basic tenant of mmos.

Here come the trolls: "Post swtor videos if you want to back up claims of being good in this game." I'm working on one right now; it takes a lot of effort and footage to make a good pvp video. However; swtor is a game inspired specifically by the EQ/Wow nexus with almost 90% of the elements being similar if not the same (resolve/DR, Trinket/Ability CC break, 1.5 sec GCD in both games). To state that a game that sets the industry standard (WoW) that was inspired by a previous industry standard (Everquest) that inspired the game you currently play (Swtor) has no bearing on skill in said game is insanity. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. "sorry, couldn't get through the first 16 seconds (i'm not 12)" Real mature post, get back under the bridge.

/Translation: you didn't read any of my post, I play a caster. In addition you also fail at even describing the situation: mele does not jump/ just to avoid los, they do it to disrupt it. Fail troll is fail!

"but pushing his interrupt button is SOOOOOOOOO hard. all i hear from the OP is whaaaaaaaa, i actually have to press my interrupt button to get an interrupt. /cry" Until you actually read peoples posts don't bother posting in there forums: I am not a mele player, I have posted that several times. In fact I will hedge on the fact that I am a far better ranged player than you will ever hope to be. Here's my evidence, lets see yours. http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=163905

I'm going to throw down the gauntlet right here: If you are angry about mele running through you and would like to get your casts off in mele range: then a system that allows you to finish a cast through a run through is what you want. However, once again: if you are a victim of a run through its your fault 100% and mele should stomp you in mele range if you sit there. If you want to keep the autoface because you like the immunity it gives you to back stabs and the ease with which it allows chaincasting in mele range you are "abusing" just as bad as anyone using the time honored tradition of the run through. In addition, once again: if you are a victim of a run through its your fault 100%

"thanks to an mmo-wide i.q. drop." And your arguing for a mechanic that lowers the skill required to play a casting class; your a strange breed. "Fake casting" and "juking" are just cheap tactics that use lag to interrupt your opponents without using your interrupt abilities." How about not casting in mele range? Or, god forbid: using your interrupt when the cast is late in the bar instead of just jumping on cast immediately. If you get juked by fake casting or mele run running around you, you deserve it.
