Ikselent Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I meant for the companions. Oh! Yeah, I completely agree with that. I'm sorry for misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeda Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) A lot of these simply don't make sense in terms of the game. So, I'm going to (for the most part) pretend you ALSO want combat to be a non-essential part of the entire game. Bolded areas are my comments. The first 6 on the lists were the basic professions. The first skill box you could pick and if i remember that long ago you could have 2 of the 6 at any one given time. Each one of the first six would allow you to choose from the other classes of that list in their section Artisian would allow you shipwright,architect,armorsmith plus some more Marksman would give you the range classes basically and so on. The bounty hunters were true bounty hunters as in you could hunt players in the game. Edited August 14, 2012 by Emeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, sure... But saying that that list of classes needs to be in this game is kind of silly. This isn't SWG. It isn't SWG2. I'm not trying to be mean, I promise. I understand the whole, "looking for a new MMO to call home" thing. But this game isn't even close enough to SWG to implement all of the stuff that Galaxies had. It just wouldn't fit into TOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenThere Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 First 6 were starting professions with the next ones Architect thru Image Designer being Elite Professions followed by Hybrid Professions Bio-Engineer to Squad Leader..... great professions true RPG gaming at it's best...add with SWTOR classes it would have been close to perfect .

But, in all honesty, you can't expect Bioware and EA to want to straight-up copy another MMO. And, not to seem harsh toward something you obviously enjoyed, a failed MMO at that. SWG was a VERY niche game. It was like playing The Sims in Space. Bioware isn't exactly renowned for making games where crafting and hanging out in a cantina are ways to advance your character. Heck, the market isn't even facing that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny how people that say SWTOR isnt failing will say a game with 300k-500k subs isnt a failed game but then go and say SWG with 300k was a failed game. It stayed at about 300k for 2 years with it being totally neglected by SOE devs to fix bugs. The only reason it lost so many players after that was because of them trying to WoWinize it with the CU and NGE. If SWG pre-CU was still around it would have the same amount of players if not more than SWTOR does now. Edited August 14, 2012 by Emeda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Galaxies did fail. When SOE will turn every other game F2P but says Galaxies wouldn't be profitable as F2P, it proves the game failed. The thing is, it did get the CU and NGE updates. You can't just discount those and act like it never happened. Sure, the game had a happy little two-year run with a small (by successful MMO standards) community, but it eventually got CU and NGE and fell to less than 100K in '06.

BeenThere Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The sad fact is you could add SWTOR to SWG .....but you couldn't add SWG to SWTOR ....To me SWG was the last great sandbox open world mmorpg with real role playing that was gutted by SOE....SWG could have used the storylines from SWTOR .....SWTOR needs a open world sandbox open space rpg ..that SWG was. One day someone may get it right .....Right now I'm just hoping for someone to to make a great huge open world sandbox single player Star Wars RPG, maybe with co-op play.

grombrinda Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As long as the can make a new class without the voice overs....think about it, how long would it take to make a new class and try to include it with the current story lines+ voice overs?? I think that's a problem there: inability to incorporate a new class efficiently like other mmo's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynospectrum Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 This thread made me visit the EMU site which I had not checked in on for probably over a year... tempting but it'll never be the same. It's just the nostalgia talking, folks. As far as the voice overs go I could live without them, I tend to skip most of them anyways. I also feel that to keep peoples short attention spans in check they'll have to do away with them at some level to keep content flowing (playable classes and races are probably not at the top of that list) at a steady pace which BW 'promised' a few times since 1.2 launched. I'm in no hurry. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toweleeeie Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Jedi Archivist and Sith Historian buffing classes like a Bard or a controller type class. Of course buffs and most CCs would need to be removed from the other classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blisst_uNF Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If Creature Handler and Droidmech were implemented as "pet classes" I'd roll 1 of each. I like the idea of a non-jedi/sith melee like a Pit Fighter, Gladiator. The idea of a buff/CC class intrigues me. Witches of Dathomir possibly? Really what i'd like to see most are force sensitive types who aren't jedi/sith. If anyone can figure out a way to get them into the game w/o breaking canon i'd love to hear more.
