  1. It's B2P, not F2P. Please get that right. F2P games rely on cash shops to support it, offering exclusive and needed items to compete or do content. GW2 is not going this route. I do expect them to milk it with expansions but that's ok and not suprising. As to performance, after watching it being played personally: I can safely say it will handle mass PvP 10x better than TOR ever will. It will break down at certain player amounts for sure, but its breaking point is considerably higher. You know why? They made their own engine and not buy sum 3rd party one from a garage sale. Anyways, I actually expect GW2 to be crap....it's just to good to be true, honestly. But at this point I have lost faith in BW and now have to look else where for 'a new hope'. Yep, three months after release. GG.
  2. Oh you could not be more wrong. Massive W v W v W with a map that dwarfs anything that TOR can offer (or even handle for that matter). Yea sure, there will be no gankfest called PvP in other games where you take out people below your level while they are fighting mobs...in GW2 you will be doing it in zones specifically made for that. 3 teams as well which theoretically will get rid of 'faction imbalance' that exists in every 2 side MMO *cough* TOR. I guess the downside is there will be no raid or die/holy trinity concept which will more than likely not attract those sorts of players. But the PvP community is drooling in anticipation. I know I am. Anyways you know where I got this moniker "Jesus Patch"? I read/heard it from various MMO review/fan sites and the reason why it's being dubbed this is....it will take an act of god to save this game which is 1.2. Or at least that's my interpetation....I didn't make that term up, other people did. It seems highly fitting though.
  3. Actually they had well over a million subs at it's peak. That is respectable for a no name dev coming out of left field. On a whole, I would say they did remarkably well considering. But w/e. Yea, TOR might have more population but we are all in different instances. Rift is a true open world MMO. TOR is the modern day AoC with 50% more loading and worse graphics.
  4. Thy Jesus Patch shalt saveth us all! And so it was written! CAN WE GET AN AMEN!?! In all seriousness, it better come out before the 2 month sub mark b/c you are going to see a mass exodus if it does not. Yes, this will please many of you to no end: players quiting is awsome. Less subs, less money for content and fixes, and less people to play with is good stuff! That is totally benificial and a great business plan in the long run, am I rite?
  5. Not checked there in while but also have toon on that server...PUB side. Last time I was there prime time, it had 20 ppl. Yea, Imp side is awsome....pub side is LOL.
  6. Difference is that 1) it has no sub fee, yet is an MMO 2) Wide open, massive maps and not AoC/TOR style which is a whole lot of loading. 3) A very passionate and open company: they actually play their games, BW seems to only make them and is about the most tight lipped dev out there. 4) When you reach that breaking point, you can quit GW2 and take a break; in TOR you are paying monthly thus feel I have to get every red cent out of it. Rift is far from the perfect game, I will agree. But the thing is....it was made by a newbie developer for a miniscule amount of cash compared to this game, yet they are constantly cranking out patches to fix stuff and add content. All this at max 30 min down time: how can a no name dev do something so right yet mega corp cannot? BW on other hand takes ages to do the same and don't even test their crap. While Rift is not the best, they really impressed me with their dedication; I look forward to their next MMO if they do one. TOR on the other hand has lowered the bar, which is sad. On topic, game is not totally awful and not redeemable...but at the snails pace they are going (ie. it took them 5 months to fix Med therapy LOL), BW/EA may have a wake up call soon when other titles are released in the future. BW released this game at the perfect time: no competition and players tiring of other games like Rift and WoW. So essentially they can get away for having a mediocre MMO with terrible service and terrible bug ridden patches filled with sploits. It's also based on SW which automatically draws fanbois out of the floor boards. p.s. BW should stick to SP games.
  7. Won't touch Secret World even if they paid me, it's Funcom: enough said. All D3 has to do is provide the same type of action and lootfest of previous titles with better graphics: that is good enough for me. Still play D2 LoD to this very day....spambot, palibot, cheatfest yet it's still awsome. 10 years off and on play, that's a long time. Each their own. Mmmm loots, me loves loots. Brb, making another hell mode boss kill run in D2. RD soon, I hope. GW2: they are aiming to break the genre and mix up it up. Action combat with emphasis on movement, timing, and well...real skill. Gear won't be huge factor like say in this game when determining PvP out comes, builds and HOW you play will. I will concede that the PvE might very well be lackluster compared to the typical raid/trinity models but it could be cool...however, I don't think the PvE raid fans will enjoy it as much. Rifts zone events were dang fun in example, only problem is after first couple dozen times it's boring. This may or may not work in GW2. I think TOR will still be king in the story delivery but we all know once at 50, that is gone entirely. So I dunno. Anyways, go to all the major sites who got into the press beta event and frankly I could not find one that actually hated the game or had major beefs with it. Most out right loved it and majority of them say things like "innovative" and "why didnt anyone else think of this" type comments, on other side same cannot be said for TOR during it's betas; "if you played WoW, this game will be very familiar!". And so it was. Lastly I got to watch a friend play GW2 and I must say I am really impressed. So it's not all based off vids and pics, granted if you look around there is some really good vids out there show casing the game. Awsome PvP, W v W v W (world pvpers dream come true!), and a huge open world with very few 'instances'. Plus the questing system might revolutionize the genre. And all this, yes....all this for just paying for the box; no subs at all. Regardless if it's a good MMO or not, it's cheap as heck. You can still play X MMO and GW2. Win win. As to which one you will play as your main game, well that will have to wait for now until a RD is announced (soon pls!). Anyrate, I will admit I am still skeptical of GW2: honestly it's just too good to be true. I mean how the heck can they provide such a beautiful and expansive game for essentially free. Boggles my mind! But as said, pay for box then that's it and not 15 bucks a month praying for the Jesus Patch 1.2 to save the day. edit. may think I am BW hater but I really am not. Every single one of their single player games; I enjoyed them immensely. No game dev out there comes close to their story telling, none. I will infact be buying ME3 this week. Thing is, I think BW should stick to SP games (or mplayer light ala ME3 co-op) exclusively instead which is what they are good at. Essentially, every time I log into TOR....the very first thing that comes to my mind is: where did that 200+ mill of development actually go? Wasn't into the engine, that's for sure.
  8. Don't have problem with Sorc DPS, I think it's fine. Problems is they have to much CONTROL with hybrid builds. KDs, stuns, roots, slows, long/insta cast mezes, pulls, insanely awsome mobility. etc. It's just too much. I had thought other games had bad CC, TOR takes the cake. Resolve needs either a) revamp b) chucked in the trash where it belongs and put in dim returns system instead b/c it don't work. ie. sorc bubble pop/kd/root causes ZERO resolve. Explain that one to me. People might say everyone has to learn 2 play....well they did, most re-rolled sorc which could be seen as an indicator. Most players naturally gravitate to the OP class en mass and TOR is no different. You would have to have blinders on to not see that there is more sorc/sages than any other class and not by a small margin either. W/e. When the most popular class complains about Operatives, BW listens and nerfs em. Win win!
  9. Saying class is dead means no one plays it and means the class sucks. Both of which is not the case and quite untrue.
  10. No, see lots of maras and sents. Just seems the BAD players have left it, while the good players decimate with the class. They can easily hit 3-5k a button press while essentially being a tank on top of that. One hardest to kill and arguably is the best melee class for PvP? Try playing a conceal Ops vs one, maras EAT operatives for breakfest. Learn 2 play.
  11. I can list 6 conceals on Harbringer and a couple scrappers who will take me down to 10% in the span of a KD. One of which is in this thread. I trust you play against bad ops and smugglers then. I can kill badly geared conceals though, but equally geared? They'd have to be pretty terrible to not kill a heal ops really easy.
  12. Play on Harbringer too....majority Ops are conceal and subsequently chasing/ganking the few heal ops around ALL GAME LONG. Why? Cus heal ops are free kill to you guys. I asked a top conceal ops why he chases me all game and he pretty much said: cus heal ops are the easiest to lock down and take out. This applies to all DPS cus once they know I am healing, they ALL turn around...forget the objective and pwn my face full duration while totally ignoring any other heal class. Infact it's won games for me, having the whole damn team chase me around like benny hill. That's the only advantage I can see to playing a heal ops. I certainly have crap dps, crap healing, and even worse survivability. Why bother. I have full BM gear yet it's tissue paper. WET tissue paper. Love it when conceal ops think heal ops are fine, of course they are! Who else would you get a guarenteed kill on without em being able to even fight back! Your damage got nerfed, well....SO DID MINE! Along with surge + next patch my only way to stop caps with dot nerf. Not renewing. One less heal ops soon! p.s. Sorc KDs are impossible to avoid. They have two, one of which causes zero resolve and roots you. Plus it can be controlled by simply removing the sheild manually. This can be chained with other mezs and you can literally lock/send people flying endlessly. Sure you can position yourself when 1v1ing, but like to point out that 1v1ing rarely if ever happens in WZs. So you managed to not get sent into the pit on that first sorc....that other sorc behind you will finish the job.

    Will point out that when I broke my old record with 517k, I had 21k DMG done and ended match with 4 medals + got ZERO mvps votes. None. But w/e, now I see why you get those sorts of numbers: you run a hybrid spec which has great regen. I use 31/3/7 build b/c I AM TARGETED FIRST ALWAYS and also have min TWO PLAYERS on me all game long for interrupts and stuns (or just frag me). Being a known healer does that, no one peels me...no one guards me....not one votes me MVP. They all go to the SORCS. But w/e, I really don't need your advice and I will tell you why... I am not renewing this * poor excuse for an MMO. And with that, I bid you fair well.

    Competition on that server must be pretty low. I have never ever seen a Ops/smug healer get the numbers you are talking about. But I am not omnipitant, so you never know right. But I guess you are the best Ops in the whole world and everythings fine with our class! Yes I am terrible, super bad, yada yada for not getting 500k every game like you do without even trying. You got me brah.
