This isn't a one way street. Communication precedence will ALWAYS be set by the developers and NEVER by the customers.

And that's exactly why OP is calling for more communication from the devs. If they take this stance this early 0 communication will stick throughout the game. And then you'll have ****** communication forever.

Default answer.

Release was 50. If you want to go all the way back to JP release. NA got Rise of the Zilart with the game release which was indeed level cap 70. Which was raised to 75 before any NA had even come close to the 70 cap. Edit: Also Sky was the first expansion. 2nd expansion was Chains of Promatia, which was Sea. I'm pretty sure something around 75% of players hadn't even got to Sky by the time COP had been released...

You really can't compare XI to TOR. TOR doesn't have sub classes at all. Leveling sub classes in XI was NOHTING like starting an alt. There were huge bonuses to having a class already partially leveled to add to your sub. I hope you eventually learned about windows in XI. Because you didn't need to literally stand there for 36 hours and it would pop at any moment.

No XI leveling and TOR leveling are nothing alike, that's for damn sure. I was just commenting on you saying what you did at cap level and stating that you weren't able to get there very fast so doing that stuff at end game still took a while regardless. But then you'd still be spending a lot of time farming and what not for boss kills in sky and then merting etc etc etc. There was plenty to keep you busy in between big group fights.

Publishers pay reviewers for their reviews. Why would they pay for a negative review? Why would a reviewing company post a bad review if it's going to cut into their future funding?

What is the 3rd raid? Turn your graphics up. Your companion doesn't count... The pony runs faster than the speeder o.0. I thought you quit WoW a long time ago?

But did you get to 75 in FFXI in 5 played days? No. Lol you spent more time than that LFG on your way to 75...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_journalism Ethics section. It's fairly common. Don't want to believe it? Fine.

You really going to take that route? When it's common knowledge that 90% of reviews are bought out?

Except you didn't hit cap in vanilla WoW in a 100 hours of game play...

Except you don't need an active subscription to post. /hi

I think most the hype has to do with WvW and the dynamic event system. Side kicking and all the PVP stuff. IF IF IF it can deliver on its promises it will be a great game. But again, holding steady and trying not to get my panties in a wad until I get my hands on the game.

You do get gear. It's just visual though. Makes your character look "cooler"

Yes... because numerical version don't get better right? Diablo Diablo 2 Diablo 3 Warcraft Warcraft 2 Warcraft 3 Starcraft Starcraft 2 Final Fantasy 1 - 10, 12, 13 Yeah, games can never be better than their predecessors.

They're not raids in the sense of you group up 8-25 people and then enter an instance. The dynamic events just scale based on the number of people inside. They get more difficult with more people. And yes, there defiantly are dungeons. And they all have 2 modes. Story mode, which will involve full cutscenes and full stories etc. And then exploration mode, which will be the "hard mode - heroic mode".

Umm... wrong. Nothing that is bought in the store gives anyone an advantage over another. It is purely cosmetic. Think skins in LoL.

Gear in GW2 is going to be more of a status symbol than in TOR. It'll show that you beat such and such boss look how cool you look. It's a skill based game not a gear based game.

I guess I'm kind of promoting it. But I'm more conservative than the full on fanboys. But no, I did not play GW1. I was too busy playing FFXI during that time, and then after XI I moved to WoW so I never really got into GW1 but I'm liking the way 2 is shaping out and the different things they're trying to do with it.

I enjoy the WC universe the most due to the lore. Then Diablo then SC. Same could be said for humans? I mean, the SW universe is about 97% humaniods.

Console version was pretty prevalent in Japan more so than here. But there were plenty of people that played it on console here in the US. But playing on PC was better because you could change registry settings to make it so the graphics looked 10000000000000x better than what the game normally would allow. And the add-ons for the game helped a ton. Especially macros for gear switching.

Press release is this weekend so we'll probably have information sometime next week. I like multiple choices of races. The lack of customization in TOR kinda irked me. I did enjoy TOR 1-50 on my first character. I struggled getting my second to 45 and it's stopped there. Once I got back to Corellia I just couldn't go on anymore. 1k/1k PVP commendations and I can't stack bags lol so PVP feels useless. There are some thing that I would personally change in the game that I don't think they will be able to at this stage that kind of takes away from my enjoyment. I don't think the game is going anywhere anytime soon but I don't think it's going to break the 3M mark as far as constant subscribers(just imo). Maybe if they do something really cool with space combat like space PVP or something along those lines I'll come back and give it another shot. But at this point I don't see myself continuing. All that matters is your own enjoyment. I did get my $15 bucks worth so, no complaints about that.

Yeah, that's why I said I hope that those aren't "Advertisement mode" like what BioWare has done with their Hi-res textures. I hope that if you put everything on hi or ultra or w/e it actually looks like that.
