Probably going to roll Gunslinger because apparently I like straight up DPS as opposed to Stealth. I'm just not used to playing a stealthy guy in a non single player RPG.

 

[LowParry]

I'm going full on tank with this mmo. They always seem to be in high demand from the beginning. I just hope pvp is a little kind for me until they add duel spec in.

Healing specced Operatives are basically the Resto Druid of TOR.

Healing specced Operatives are basically the Resto Druid of TOR.

Would it be completely ignorant of me to ask what that might mean to a more casual player who never got far in WoW?

 

[MechaX]

I know this is kind of a buzzkill from the conversation on the actual game, but I just managed to read that summary of that Revan + Exile book that's supposed to tie into the game.

Yikes. Yeah, maybe they shouldn't have tried to "wrap up" their stories at all.

So...super overpowered?

What's the holy priest?

No druid spec was OP until the crybabies forced blizzard to make every class desirable. Resto druids were always cool for the rez though

 

[JWong]

So is this game's beta still going on? Never paid much attention since they never gave me my invite.

Well Blizz worked Druids in so they were good for situational fights.

HoTs, high health tank, umm... cat dps use to be super strong in stationary fights while Boomkin was good for fights with movement.

What I'm rolling, the Consular/Inquisitor.

A Resto(Restoration) Druid is the healing tree for Druids in WoW.

Resto Druids were ridiculous in PvP for such a long time. Longer than any other class.

Oh, I got that, even read a bit on the WoW Wiki. I meant how does playing a Resto Druid differ from a standard healer. Once again, I apologize for my ignorance.

They would be considered the HoT (Healing over Time) healers.

Is there an Aussie release date yet?

What's Holy Paladin? Trooper Medic? Hehe.

 

[Moaradin]

Been healing as an Operative. Probably what I'll play in the final.

Same. I like Operative and the IA class in general.

Looks all very nice

 

[syoaran]

Some of the NPC convo images are considered fairly major spoilers for those that have played KOTOR....

With an in-combat rez, which the Operative gets late in the game.

 

[BattleMonkey]

Man, the Jedi storylines are boring lol

 

[Lombax]

I probably wasn't going to have the time to play this at launch anyways but the email screw up was the thing that finally motivated me to cancel my pre-order. I was worried a bit if could do that or not since they sent out those beta pre order keys a while ago.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I was excited to get the email saying "we are asking to back" then deflated when I got the email stating "nope sorry we sent that in error" If they do end up running another beta weekend this month and I get a chance to play / enjoy it then I would order it. As it stands now I do not have enough interest in the game to play it at launch.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I'm enjoying them. But I haven't played the other classes. I'm gonna do a Smuggler next, do they have a more interesting storyline?

 

[BattleMonkey]

Think all the other classes just have so much more interesting personalities. Jedi just seem to suffer from stick up the ass syndrome that the Jedi council in KOTOR and the prequels had.

Well, that is their MO. If you want varied personalities in a force user there's always the Sith.

Plus you can be kind of a dick Jedi, some of the dark side options for my dialog have been hilarious.

 

[Orgun]

Great pictures. My hype levels have died down immensely the past few months, mainly due to this thread heh, but i'm still looking forward to release day.

My heart skipped a beat just now, opened up my gmail account and saw 'Welcome to the beta' !! Then I reread it and it actually said "Welcome to the open beta" and was from Battlefield 3...fuck. I've had like 5 of those emails already

Except on the jedi side it's more like *slaps hand* don't do that! Stop being mean! *is the most naive idealist in the fucking universe to the point of being grating*

Nah, there are some legitimately dickish answers.

 

[BattleMonkey]

You can be a total douche Jedi which is nice, but overall to me it's the story line in general which is kind of meh as it's full of goody goody Jedi characters. KOTOR games at least had you as kind of on your own rogue Jedi. Even if you are a dick to characters, your story is still the same, the dialogue just can turn amusing at times.

Well it was obvious when BioWare announced Sith and Jedi were two completely different classes and there was no cross-over that you would never be able to flip flip between them.

I didn't expect to be able to flip or even become "evil". It's no different from Mass Effect where all it basiclly does is boil down to if you are a goody goody or a douche bag.

It's just the story that I played wasn't that compelling or interesting while the other classes had much more interesting stories from the get go and character interactions.

The Jedi Knight is pretty much the guy who's gonna do the biggest shit in the game though.

Foreshadowing, I did it.

edit: and really, it's the jedi dude. You're in a structured society, not some dude on his own.

It's living the dream. Well the dream of nerds anyway.

I know, but I think many are not going to care for it as they are used to playing in games the more rogue Jedi elements (Kyle Katarn, Revan, Exile, Starkiller, Mara Jade, etc, etc) instead of someone who is a by the book member of the order.

 

[Deadly]

Is there an equivalent to using Force Lightning on someone as a Jedi? Can't get better than that. Also YAAAAAAAAAAAAWN.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Speaking of force lightning, I noticed in the new build they let the animation linger around a few seconds longer even after the damage is done. It's a nice effect, they should keep it like that (could be a bug after all).

Its like they gave up trying to give that Hutt decently textured arms. Especially if you are looking up to them.

Empty and static. I imagine launch will look quite different.

Hoping to avoid this scenario:

Everyone in Ogrimmar trying to access the Flight Trainer at the same time; launch day of Cataclysm.

I just bought the old republic and it charged my card for the full price.

Now it was refunded " SWITCH UNKNOWN REASON CODE" for the full amount.

Is it just checking to see if I have money in my account? If so, when am I charged?

I believe a few other people had the same thing happened to them too. It seems that they are just trying to see if you have the funds. Origin (assuming that's what you went through like the other people that had the same problem) is bullshit. I canceled mine and went with amazon instead as they have release day shipping.

I still don't see why they couldn't have made it based on your current environment...

Seems like something they would put on the wall of crazy, but then that wall is probably putting china to shame by now.

I don't mind them checking, I'm just curious as to what is going on.

Yes, it was origin.

 

[Gvaz]

Just make a few general models based on grass, snow, metal, desert, and a few other areas, and make five models for each zone or something and load them at random.

*presses the Staples button*

Sounds easy enough, but by what method would you choose to implement that specific feature over any of the scores of other features that are supposed to be on that wall of crazy? You have fan "A" wanting the same thing as you but fans "B" and "C" crying because you did not put what they wanted into the game. The point I am lazily trying to make is: it is not as easy as pressing a button. Not when your agenda is, I have to believe given the scope of the game and the universe in which it is set in, a mile long at all times.
