thats actually a pretty good idea /thumbsup

Here's a rough layout of what i'd like the vanguard class to be like. All trees should be viable in both PvE and PvP: Shield Specialist PvE: tank PvP: protecting (squishy) allies Haven't played this spec much after 2.0, but i think its doing allright. Could do with a bit more defensive cd's tho. Tactics: PvE: sustained dps + cc support PvP: tactical dps This tree needs some work. While it lacks both survivability and burst in PvP, it should have some tricks up its sleeve like more cc's, like another stun (mezz?) or actually good slows for kiting . Also there's not much tactical about having to go into the fray, so give it some ranged abilities. This, along with the sustained dps should make it viable in PvE too. Assault PvE: (burst) dmg PvP: burst dmg Needs it's burst back, simple my 2c's

for months i have thought that Barsen'thor was the legacy name of someone on my server with way too many alts

Wouldn't you need the BM ones to get the WH ones?

guarding the turret like a boss. hey, an incoming enemy. you're gonna get it... yeah that's what i thought running away like the scared sissy you are... it don't matter, i'm gonna kill you even if i have to cross the entire map.

since 1.4 you are forced to get within the 10m range from the start of the fight, this has a huge inmpact on your survivability.

i see a bunch of enemies clumped up together. you know what, i'm just gonna run in and knock them all apart.

a solution for this would be not to allow players to change their gear once they're in.

you can still get them by queueing up for a rondom hardmode

I love how he checks his cargo bay when she's gone

they also nerfed cryo grenade's range to 10m -_-' vanguard fun = gone

that came out wrong didn't it

My sentiments exactly. Yes, a lot more ppl will play this game.. for free. If the whole game doesn't justify $15,=/ month, than added features certainly won't. I hope i'm proven wrong tho..

Is there anything in the pipeline for (open) world PvP?

You have to finish your class quest chain on those planets.

A question regarding character customisation: There are (empty) custom belts and bracers in the game, but no armoring mods for them. Are there plans to make f.i. the endgame artifact belts/bracers modded so we can further customise our look?

BW went overboard by making ALL item slots augmentable. If they'd done this for all previously augmentable slot (possibly also offhands) it would have been fine. Sadly this is irreversible. Being forced to work inside a game (you allready pay real money for to play) has allready burnt me out on another MMO.

I think the mails describing the outcome of your choices/actions are a nice touch.

They moved all EU PvP servers to Freedon Nadd.. ALL 20 OF THEM!!! Why not move them to two servers? you can allways merge those if populations are low. I simply cannot understand this.

I like the idea of being able to customise my char. Yet i can't fully, because if i want to wear a custom belt, the best armoring mod to put in there would be.. a daily comm one (?) and i would be gimping my stats. So would it be possible to let endgame (PvP + PvE) belts be modded? Bracers are less of a problem because theyre not visible, but maybe also these? tia edit: just saw 25 mods on the GTN for ridiculous prices

supercommando = SS eliminator = assault combat tech = SS/tactics/hybrid go for combat tech

i respectfully disagree with the OP: basicly i'm the guy you describe, but SWTOR doesn't cut it for me choices choices don't affect anything, basically they're a rep grind with possible cosmetic bonus. dialogue options don´t really effect the outcome of a conversation, safe turndowns and the occasional shoot him/let him live option at the end (i played trooper). choices never affect your standing, with anyone. immersion man, i friggin LOVE to get immersed into SW stuff. Got immersed in (most of) the movies and in a particular videogame by BW. I feel that an SW MMO could, possibly should be the pinnacle of immersion, but sadly it isn´t for me. The galaxy doesn´t even feel like a world. Planets are just big pass-through places. Deserted, but not for NPC's, which you have to work your way through if you dont have stealth or a fancy mount. Apart from that there's not much going on. it's all very static. well written It may or may not have anything to do with the shere quantity of content (as opposed to SP RPGs), but i don't find the quests particularly well written. I would say the quality is lower than say.. DA2. But then again it's not a SP game, which brings me to my final point: MMO A while back i played Global Agenda. Here you hung around in a sort of lobby waiting for your PVE or PVP mission to pop. everything instanced and set maximum players (they also added an outside area where you could solo and occasionally group up for a harder quest). See where i'm going with this? My point is i (basically no-one) considered GA to be an MMO. To feel the MM in MMO you need to be able to encounter more than 15 players and not in a few set places. that being said i still play (occasionally) and i have a faint hope the game will improve.

I really liked the 'public quests' in WAR and Rift, it made ppl play together more naturally. BW should look into it, ofc. after dealing with the population issue.

Oh look, it's this thread again -_-

Backpacks with rockets attached to them do this with character detail set to low.
