tehrealdealz Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just wondering for those that are FOTM Rerollers if you ever feel kind of guilty or ashamed that instead of staying loyal to the class your originally leveled you choose to instead level a FOTM class instead. I'm just trying to understand the mentality of a FOTM reroller. Maybe its just me but im a loyal type of guy. I played WoW for about 5-6 years and my first class I leveled was a Hunter only cause I love ranged classes thats why in swtor I have a Bounty Hunter and a Vanguard. I played my hunter through thick and thin for about 5-6 years and was usually 2200+ in arenas every season except for this last season where I gave up on WoW completely (yah cata was complete garbage). When I heard that swtor was coming out I immediately rushed out to get the game because I wanted to escape all the elitism/junk community that is WoW where if you arent playing the latest class, your considered a "baddie" or a "noob". But now im finding that swtor is basically the same as WoW. I'm not sure if maybe all the former WoW elitists are flocking to play swtor or what but im noticing that swtor community is starting to become just like WoW and thats pretty sad. Anyways just wanted to know why do you choose to be a FOTM reroller instead of sticking with your original class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I should know about the class before I start leveling? How does it play in pvp and pve? And are you overall happy with the class?

Palor Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I have played a marauder since beta, and rarely saw other marauders in PvP. Lately I have seen tons of them, they must be the Fotm class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right I was thinking of rolling a marauder cause I wanted to try a melee class but once I saw they were going to be broken/OP/FOTM I chose NOT to level one up. Instead I leveled up a Vanguard. So whats your point? Bottom line. I chose NOT to be a FOTM reroller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then when you saw they were "broken/OP/FOTM", you chose not to? Sorry.. I'm confused :S Regarding the OP, nope; Sniper since I first saw their announcement and planning on sticking with my class 'till the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just trying to understand the mentality of a FOTM reroller. Anyways just wanted to know why do you choose to be a FOTM reroller instead of sticking with your original class? The Fotm classes are created by gaming companies that try to create balance between good players and bad players and their points of view on what this balance should be aka. them winning over all others and the most vocal usually win. So can you blame players on rerolling new toons while companies keep on shuffling the abilities and balances and making their loved classes useless in pvp. You can boast about being loyal to your class like it´s somekind of merit but some people like rolling new toons and try new classes to keep their interrest in the game.

Twin Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) There will allways be ppl crying nerf on other classes, often because they lack the proper knowledge to counter it. There will also allways be ppl that follows the "Nerf class x" trend, based more or less exclusivly on those "nerf threads" rather then personal experience. And then we have the many ppl that dont cry nerf on the forums (Or ingame for that matter) but still lacks the proper knowledge of effected class. These are the ppl that reroll, thinking they will be awesome with this class. And again, most often they are not. Instead we get an overpopulation of "that" class, boosting the feeling of it being overpowered since you encounter many more of them then usual. (and some of them are bound to be better then "you" wether or not the class is OP) If so many ppl rerolled into "That" profession it MUST be OP, right? -Sometimes yeah, but certinatly not allways. I mean, If im gonna make an Alt, why not make it the profession everyone's claiming to be so darn powerful? That's the thing really, the more ppl are crying about a class on forums - the more ppl will be entering said class, wether or not it's overpowered. Then the same players that originally cried for a nerf come back here, complaining that every WZ is filled to the brim with "Class X", and the circle is complete =) I wonder how many players decided to roll a "Class X" from reading this thread Thats my thoughts regarding all this //Twin ^^ Edited April 30, 2012 by Twin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drungus Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 My opinion about FOTM players is that they are generally bad players. You can easily see which Marauders are FOTM's and which not. I find it rather funny that people think the class makes up for the majority of the skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tehrealdealz Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 haha so owned! How so? Like I said I was thinking of leveling up a Marauder but decided against it because I KNEW they were going to be OP/FOTM.

The big deal is probably that you come out as a hypocrite when you first state you are gonna roll a Marauder since you heard they are OP, then in the next breath you make a post and act like you cant understand what kinda mentality ppl have, when they roll FOTM. Just a wild guess though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hubris- Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I rolled my marauder 2 months ago but then i stopped playing when i got to lvl 32 or so because i simply got bored of the game (not the class). I came back after the 1.2 patch and to my surprise a lot of people have rolled marauders. So even thou im not really a FOTM reroller it did feel like that, but no i was not ashamed. I just find it amusing how can one class go from being a hardest one to play to being incredibly OP in just one or two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently leveling a merc healer because of all the crying I've seen from them lately about how "broken" they are......never mind that I know some very good PvP merc healers still. I don't believe the "QQ BUFF ME QQ" lobbyists, so I'm trying out this allegedly "broken" class for myself.
