I certainly hope it's done right, and then not ripped to pieces like SWG was. |
WarCry Choice Posts: 1197 Joined: 16 Oct 2004 | No offense to the masses that want this game. and don't get me wrong I'm one of them. But this is a backup game for me if the ecom. kills my first choice. which is Stargate worlds I've been a fan for so long for that series. But yea I was a jedi in SGW before the CU. I tried to play SGW again after and wow did the game just suck. I landed back in town and there was 500 lvl 1 jedi all dueling each other. I had done most of the jedi stuff before so I ended up being a lvl 80 jedi, That fun last for all of 1 hour. while I lighting attacked and sabered lvl 1 to death. Then the whinning started. about how they were jedi and you should be able to kill me even though I was a lvl 80 one. bah. So I really hope this gets balanced out really well I like how they are going back before were having all these jedi's make sense. |
Killed 10 Boars Posts: 20 Joined: 26 Aug 2008 | I don't think that is going to be an issue. BioWare tends to know their stuff and they make quality games. At least I keep telling myself this is how it will work out since this game will be my last hope for a quality MMORPG.

Well, they just announced the Smuggler class. You're in luck. as for me, I cannot wait for this game - although I'm not too much into MMos, so I'll wait before I commit myself. |

I feel the same way, except since its based on KOTOR, I'm definitely joining. |
