Combat in STAR WARS: The Old Republic

It doesn't show any gameplay at all... it doesn't matter about polls... what people think should be in it or whatever... also the Bioware Team has shown nothing at all about gameplay... they have showed how combat looks like if you are one character.

I know those boards as well, maybe not as intense but I don't need to be whoring it constantly to know what is going on.

They are making a singleplayer MMO as it look like now... the combat is not really ground breaking it has been seen before, the ways the classes work seem different though but there is no space... why would a general space population pay to play a game that is on the ground... hell alot of MMOs is on ground and and some of them are free.

This is getting out of hand, I suggest locking this topic before it gets worse... it takes more to convince me than those videos and it seemed more like that each class is stuttering around rather than having a magic flow to it.

If you want something locked, just say politics, works every time

beta or not i'm still seeing great potential for this game, why you continue to bitch and chew about the whole thing, i've been on the swtor boards since 2008 almost everyday, if anyone's going to know the in's or out's for swtor it's me and I can tell you right now this will be groundbreaking, it will set the standards for other MMO's.

I kinda check the TOR boards daily also, so please don't start waving that around. People can have a different opinion and still spend just as much time on those forums as you do.

Well lets be real nis, anyone sending that much time on the those forums has a different opinion than most. I think you ment to say people can be as informed as Cil and still have different opinions.

Didn't say that I spent as much time on them. You can get the news without spending hours a day reading through forums.

All bioware's released is fluff an glamor shots ... Wait for it ... Yup !!! ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Still waiting ! ............................................................................................................................................ There it comes .......................................................................................................................................................................Dang it ! No Money Shot .


That's what we've gotten from Bioware about sw:tor . An til they lift NDA's , and have an open beta . With testimonials from the closed beta testers . I'm staying on the fence as I haven't seen anything new I've not already seen in the other couple hundred mmo's that are available to play . both free and subscription based .

It looks neat. But, the stuff they've shown, I've seen before. Same style, anyway. Not to say it isn't a positive step in the right direction, but it's not exactly cutting-edge.

Come on guys. Give Cil a break. He's just excited for the game to come out. Frankly we have enough negativity towards the game here. It's nice to see someone geek out a bit. That said, I completely disagree that SWTOR will kill WoW though. Nothing aside from a complete server failure is going to stop that game. (Even then probably not.) I do however think that SWTOR will become #2. It looks fun, and I'm just looking forward to playing with you all again no matter how it turns out. SWG wasn't fun because of it's design. It was fun because Saber was in it.

... queue the "Then get your ass in EVE Star!" comments...

Star's right . ... " YES we CAN ! " cut some slack for fanboi Cil .

AN yeah it'll be fun style'n an profiling while clobbering mobs with a glow bat once again . :thumbsup:

I knew there was a reason Kirby had been my master over in SWG. He basically said all I could say. It won't kill WoW (Hell, WoW's Cataclysm expansion may do that, who knows?) but I certainly expect TOR to do pretty good.

Must have been a pain in the rear being under da cokemaster

Then get your ass in Eve, star. =P Even my wife is trying it.

Naw, Kirby and I are too much alike for it to be a pain

Have you seen the grapple hook pull drag that was seen by the bounty hunter when exactly have you seen that? Or standing up against a mob of players while holding your own? I mean in most MMO's it's usually a mob of players owning you, but standing against the odds with one player vs a mob, i've never seen that in a MMO.

grappling hook dragging a person to you ... Hrmm Mortal Kombat anyone ? Yeah thought so . See nothing cutting edge or new there . Umm wow , EQ , etc ... grab a group of mobs get them all tightly packed . an drop an AoE on them . BOOM ! they all die you the single toon lives . No heroics involved . An all came before sw:tor .

But thanks tim for comming out an playing . Quor tell our contestant what he's won please ! . :ghent:
