JadeAuto Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Got to be in last weekend's beta. Had a lot of fun. Gave me the time to pick the classes I'm going after when it releases live. Sith Sorcerer (heals+ranged dps, it's win/win) And one other, I'm torn between the Jedi and the Smuggler. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to Imperial Operative, but I'll have to discuss it with them. I think we're not going to be happy about the 4-person team limit, though... We're also ticked because I can't reserve my spot on our guild roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forces more healers and tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm probably going to Imperial Operative At least I won't be the only one... Now the question becomes: Should I play mine as a Tarkin or as a Thrawn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah, 4 people per group just makes it awkward. Forces more healers and tanks. Compared to what? Isn't WoW's standard 5-man groups? Losing one DPS slot doesn't seem like that big a deal. I think Powerlord's comment was more about the fact that 4-man groups means that fewer of his friends can play together at once rather than being about game balance. I plan to go Jedi Guardian, personally. Lightsaber AND heavy armor? Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have 4 friends plus myself playing to start, which really sucks when you only have groups of 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAuto Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think they did it because they had some random idea that it takes forever to find 5 people. So silly. EQ was way crazier with 6 in the group. Tank/Cleric/Chanter was almost always required. Or a bard. A good bard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMonz Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I played a testing weekend and I have only 3 words to say: WoW in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 WoW in space. With lightsabers and force powers. It's going to be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Thought Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 WoW in space. So... Warhammer 40K? Although that's what makes it that much better. Diversity (from a certain point of view). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMonz Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Well, the game looked like fun in the trailers and the concepts are interesting, but when I got in the game I really (REALLY) felt I had just hopped in WoW's engine with different content. Maybe it's a fun game, and maybe the content is really awesome, but my few hours of early-game experience were not that awesome. In fact, I had more fun with this than with WoW's trial, so that's good. But the mechanics were simply copy-pasted xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral_C Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I felt the exact same way. But after the testing weekend was over, I found myself itching to start it up again because I wanted to finish the story :/ Maybe that's just the completionist in me, but I think I'll actully pick this one up after all.

Deep Thought Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Am I just too over excited about the upcoming game test? I'm itching to find out who is playing so that I can network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Thought Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Bioware is going to release a song a day until the game's release. I'm proud to say that it sounds like a Williams piece even though he may not have composed it. Now if only I could figure out the language of the choral bit at the end.

Ragnarock Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm definitely gonna get this game! I love Star Wars, plus I'm bummed about Star Wars Galaxies being killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 so did this game turn out to be 'wow featuring star wars' or what yep - read reviews (not big-name reviews where they're obviously kissing ass). it's really clear what it is.

Deep Thought Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 wow featuring star wars Absolutely nothing wrong with that... plus WoW can only go down now that they added Magikpandaland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I thought a big difference was the story involvement; full voice acting, dialog trees, etc? Or does story not count now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Absolutely nothing wrong with that.. maybe if you like wow, yeah I thought a big difference was the story involvement; full voice acting, dialog trees, etc? Or does story not count now. consider that this might just be the most expensive game ever made and just how easily all that money could have gone towards making this story into a movie or tv series or comic book now instead what they've apparently given us is a story that we get to hear bits and pieces of but then are barred from the next chapter until we've killed twenty banthas and collected their poodoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, EA and Bioware aren't in the business of making movies and TV shows, and who knows if they'd be any good at it. It was never trying to reinvent the wheel. It takes what has worked for other MMOs, fixes some of what didn't work, and puts some excellent, immersive storytelling on top of it.
