    in General Discussion

    Posted

    My thoughts are in the link in my sig (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=216855). To that post, add this:

     

    - No day/night cycle

    - No swimming

    - No housing

    - No Pazaak, Sabacc, Dejarik, races, casino, etc...

    - Dumbed down character creation

    - No post-creation character customization

    - No appearance tab/outfit system

    - No high res textures

    - No environmental interaction (chairs, walls, doors, etc...)

    - Simple combat with static enemies

    - Unconvincing and stiff animations

    - Empty dead worlds with not enough NPCs moving around

    - No collision detection

    - No stats on resources

    - No crafting customization

    - Restriction in choice of starship

    - No ship decoration

    - Dumbed down space combat

    - No multiplayer space combat

    - Removal of many races

    - No faction change/neutrality

    - Restriction and instanced planets by faction

    - Less planets than announced

    - Planets rated by levels with no reason to go back

    - No GM events

    - Removal of choice to kill companion

    - Removal of possibility to talk to other faction at all times

    - No RP tools

    - Nothing to do post-story

    - Endgame consisting on waiting in fleet

     

    ouch!

    instead of tank/healer/dps and 4 people per group it was...

     

     

    tank, offtank, damage, hybrid/mezzer, heals, buffer/offheal in 6 person parties.

     

    was good times. a lot more fun. a lot more options.

     

    I knew you were talking about FFXI. :cool:

     

    I loved being the puller.

     

    Now that "wow-like" mmos have the tank as the puller, I tend to gravitate to the tanking role.

    Proof that BioWare dont care about Hardcore Gamers at all!

    Did NM EV some Hours ago and we got this new nice title duno might have been buged before. The Infernal , how to get this is to do Speed run under 2H NM -_-

     

    2H what a **** we clear that **** in 30-40mins and u give us a speed run Title under 2H

     

    Give some title u can be Proud of doing!! and be bit hard well i know the bosses aren't hard at all. give like none die in the raid or just speed run under 30mins

     

    From trying to make head or tails out of this, I don't see why Bioware *should* care about "Hardcore" gamers.

     

    Or at least they should care as much as "Hardcore" gamers care about grammar, spelling, and moving out of mom's basement.

    Has Bioware failed by not having a "Recount" feature in-game?

    I has become interesting to me that so many people have compared SWTOR to WOW and said that Bioware is completely fail because it doesn't have a recount system in the game for players who raid.

     

    I absolutely understand that Blizzard's game has this due to their reliance on the use of Addons in their game. (Don't think for a minute that Blizzard doesn't rely on addons for their game.) When you look at a bare bones stock UI though Bioware isn't missing many things in relation to Blizzard. World of Warcrafts UI without the use of any addons is pretty lazy as well. I can't think of many games that have actually done their UI very well. I would say the best so far has been RIFT.

     

    Anyway what do you guys think? I'm not talking about opening the game to mods, but does SWTOR NEED the recount feature as long as they don't allow the use of addons/mods?

     

     

     

    ***I will probably throw some of your answers up on my site because i'm covering this topic today and tomorrow. Hopefully this isnt' against any of the sites TOS, I enjoy getting people to talk about subjects like this and SWTOR forums has a great community to do that.

     

     

    They've succeeded by not including it. :D

    Legacy System's quality will make or break my subscription.

    With quite literally no word on this from the Devs, I had 2 choices:

     

    1.Take the risk of having to reroll when legacy comes out and make an alt, substantially extending the duration during which I enjoy the game.

    2. Play it safe and wait until March to make an alt, and either choke down the abysmal casual end-game play or cancel until march.

     

    If I can't retroactively apply any character customization options earned via the legacy system to characters that already exist (within reason of course) I'll immediately cancel my subscription.

     

    You live a very exciting, high stakes life.

    So let me get this straight...

    Meh, some people don't like continuously being destroyed because they lack the skills for PvP. It happens.

     

    Most PVP is not skill-based. For example, 4 people vs. 1, where the 1 is questing. Where is the "skill" in that?

     

    Underneath its just people getting a kick out of being mean to another human being. How is that fun?

    Please don’t change space combat

    As someone who played X-Wing, Descent Freespace, etc... I'd want space combat to be something more along those lines.

     

    If BW wants to keep with the current model, then they should expand it, make it work more like Gummi Ships in Kingdom Hearts I & II, which despite being a PS2 "gamelet" within a larger game, is a much more feature-rich and mature "space combat line shooter" than what's currently in place.

     

    Yup - I said it - Gummi Ships. :o

    Bioware - Please change Space Combat!

    I would love to see this, although I know its basically asking for another game within a game.

     

    Space combat is fairly optional to being with.

     

    Can you imagine if the space combat was re-built to leverage a ... gasp... FLIGHTSTICK?!?!!?!? :eek:

     

    There would be great whining perhaps from some sectors... but there would also be a collective "uh oh" as every single person who enjoyed X-Wing, Tie-Fighter, X-wing vs. Tie Fighter, Descent: Freespace, Descent: Freespace 2, Wing Commander I-IV, Privateer, etc... including the executives at Saitek wet their sweatpants with glee!

    Daytime/Nighttime cycles

    Hello,

     

    I know its a tall order, but I'd like to see daytime/nightime cycles introduced to the planet areas.

     

    Maybe people don't ooh and aah over it right away, but I think it adds a subtle, but very significant impact to how people perceive how "durable" or "interesting" an area is.

     

    Please consider it.

    Put all the nerfs in this thread.

    I was going to post a picture of some nerf guns... but then I started looking at the nerf guns themselves and DAMN those are some pretty cool designs they got there.

     

    They license Star Wars IP, couldn't they license or collaborate with Nerf for some of the gun designs?

     

    I mean look at these:
