Don't mean to be rude, but please no.... I refuse to pay a subscription fee for a game that would be better in single player anyway.coldshadow said:
I imagine that while playing an Elcor would start slowly... it would be the best game ever.WINDOWCLEAN2 said:
OT: I think it would be a good idea... unless it took Dragon Age's combat system. Ranged combat in RPG's is pretty boring. Plus, the melee combat that is common in traditional WRPG's doesn't really exist in the Mass Effect universe.
I've seen all this. It does not impress me. All companies thoroughly check for bugs on an MMO's release, but how do you simulate millions of people stressing the servers? How do you check every square inch of a game that spans thousands of virtual kilometers? The simple fact is, you can't. You do your best, open it to release, and hope that the shit doesn't hit the fan. Have you ever played an MMO shortly after launch? I'm assuming not. OTherwise you'd know what I'm talking about.Shepard said:
As for your comment about a Star Wars MMO needing to be done... They already had one. Star Wars Galaxies, by Sony Online Entertainment. And it was beautiful. At least, before they made Jedi an initial option for a class. Then it all fell apart.
Regardless of what Bioware has said about PvP, there is NO way that you can make Jedi balanced and still have it fit canon. What happens when a Jedi hits someone with a lightsaber? They die. That's all there is to it. They're dead, or they're dismembered. That's my major problem with EVERY Star Wars RPG: You can't claim "kinetic shields" or anything like that, because there are no personal shield barriers in Star Wars. The only way a Smuggler, for example, could beat a Jedi is a sneak attack. And that won't happen all the time.
I despise MMOs that disregard canon for 'the sake of the game.' Especially when the game claims to be as 'cinematic' and 'story-driven' as Bioware's SW:TOR. As for your comment that this won't be like a typical MMO, I have to "LoL" at that. Every MMO says that. Warhammer said it. Hyborean Adventures (Or whatever the Conan one was called) said it. Tabula Rasa said it. What's the common line between those three? They all failed. The only MMO that succeeded in bringing large innovation to the table was EVE Online, a game that is widely despised by the gaming community. Why, I'll never know, but there it is.
How is SW going to be different? Voicing? Whoop-dee. Story? If I want a story, I'll play a single-player RPG. A story-driven MMO is impractical for the sole reason that MMOs do not lend themselves to a story-driven context. It doesn't make sense. Every time you do a "story mission" or talk to a voiced character, it'll be blatantly obvious that you're not important, because thousands have already helped him destroy that Sith vessel or whatever as soon as you step into a town and see "LF2M JABBA"
I don't quite know why I'm arguing this in the first place. You'll not change your mind, and neither will I. Mass Effect should have an MMO before Star Wars gets ANOTHER one, likely one that will fall apart, just like SWG did.
First, I already said all games have bugs when they are first released. Secondly, I never said a Star Wars MMO needed to be done, go back and reread what I wrote and you'll see that.Flying-Emu said:
The rest of your post seems to be you dismissing the game before you even play it, before its even released, your just basing all of it on previous experiences, it seems. Experience which is completely irrelevant. But your not even listening anyway.
I would definately buy this. Although my main problem would be warring with myself over whether to have my first playthrough as a Guarian or Turian... TOO MANY CHOICES!!!
