Have you played Vanguard, where (when PvP still existed in that game) you would fight other groups over dungeon bosses, quest hubs etc? It was epic, if you ignore all of the bugs/balance issues. EQ PvP was the same. Kicking enemy groups out of lguk/solb, fighting enemy raids over Nagafen/Vox...

All good points really, but primarily #6. PvPing over PvE objectives is great. As for 3 factions, it's certainly better than 2 but it's pretty disappointing that it's not FFA. TES is tailor made for FFA PvP, and the 'factions' they've set up are laughable. Half of the races on each team have...

Just play SK then you can tank, AE DPS and self heal all at the same time in reckless stance.

Most classes you can just macro all of the attack abilities into one button and mash that if you want to. On my bruiser I have one single target button, one AE button, one temp buff button. It's good enough to do most things.

Utnayan everything you are saying makes sense and I agree entirely. The issue isn't why people don't like or are suspicious of a game as it's a perfectly valid stance to have. The problem is that this forum is full of people who are so innately negative that they feel that taking a dump on...

I remember when this forum (well, its predecessor) used to be populated by people who actually liked video games.

If you like and/or are excited about an MMO then you must be a shill. I'm looking forward to TESO. I'm a big fan of the TES series and I'm hoping for more of the same with some multiplayer fun thrown into the mix. I think it's likely the endgame will be shit or not exist, and I think it's...

No it won't, you need to buy the last 2 xpacs to get everything.

The game is pretty bad but you're on crack if you reckon the character models look like they're from 2004. It does feel kind of arcadey, although a better way to describe it is it feels like a console game. You could easily play this on a 360 controller. It has its moments.. Arcade feel isn't...

This just happened to me. I wonder if there's any way for me to get out of here now. I think my character is ruined unless it times out or something. edit: went to log a bug report and found it's already well reported, with a workaround to get out (/killme, respawn, then zone out through the...

How and at what stage can you start grouping up? All of this talk of single player doesn't sound good.

No this was at launch of CoE. I was one of the most vocal posters on the official EQ2 forums at CoE launch about all the ways they ruined the heroic players game with this xpac. Velious was a lot better, and SF was better still. My friend & I quit EQ2 in Jan and went back to SWTOR. Throne...

Probably not true. While not exactly the same thing, me (Coercer), plus my friend (dualbox Warden+SK) and 3 mercs cleared all of the CoE heroic content except for the last 3 bosses of Harrow's End, and even farmed x4 trash when they dropped an Obol from every mob. Some of the bosses were hard...

SOE Mote is actually pretty cool imo. It's very very niche, but cool. I don't mind wierd features like that being added to games. That was one of EQ2s strongest attributes, that it has all of these funky features built in to make it more interesting for casuals. Because ultimately that is what...

The last expansion was really half-arsed. I'm one of those players who comes back for every xpac and really enjoyed all of them to date including SF and DoV but CoE really hurt the game for me, and I unsubbed less than a month after it launched. Basically, there was no progression at all in the...

I too enjoy presenting baseless assumptions as fact. This isn't to say that you're wrong, and perhaps you have knowledge that wasn't presented in that post. More likely though this is a sad attempt to scrounge for things to complain about. So I have to ask, why bother? Anyway I'm...

Massive +brownie points for acknowledging the existence of Australia (and our quirky bro's from across the Tasman!). ps: Where's my beta invite?

Generally don't tip at all unless I'm feeling particularly generous or the person was awesome. When I travelled to the Phillippines however practically everyone expects a tip and they try to pressure you. I ignored it at first because to me tipping is not normal. Eventually I tried a few times...

So did beardman devour that werewolf? Pretty OP!

It's just such a poisonous atmosphere on this forum (just like foh was) where from about 1 month after launch every mmo thread that isn't wow is nothing but negative nancies having a cry about it. We've known for a year that Bioware spent Australia's GDP on development and came up with a game...

I don't understand what you guys are whinging about. The UI is customizable. Less customizable than some (like wow) and more than others (like aion). They came up with a good solution for the phantom armor debacle and despite their unfortunate wording in that post (about forcing people to...

My guess is it's only FFA PvP. Most of the asian MMOs only have one ruleset and they tend to be very PvP oriented. It's better that way, it forces the sheep to play on the same server as the wolves.

The site preloads all of the HD images and music which is why it takes so long to load. I was wary of that myself. It makes the site really great to use though, every element opens instantly.

I'm playing it daily. Having a great time on my new Sith Juggernaut, doing Warzones a fair amount and completing the character and planet storylines. I ignore most of the side quests.

It may be an engine limitation that prevents them from easily making non human models. Anyway given the lack of resources on the game now we're definitely never going to see any new character models.

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Best looking skin is the republic dancer outfit ^.^ Wish I could get it on my sith juggernaut, the empire dancer outfit looks terrible.

I don't know what you're talking about. The majority of the races in TOR are about as alien as you get in star wars (at least the movies and few books I've read) for sentient species. You've got blue humans, green humans, grey humans, red humans, humans with horns, humans with cybernetic...

Making non humanlike models playable would be a lot of work for them trying to make all of the armour models etc work. The benefit of humans with wierd shit on their heads (which is every race so far) is that they only need to model them once. Having said that almost all of the aliens you see in...

Yeah we are waiting to be merged. I'm playing on Master Dal'Nara (the Oceanic PvP server) and I'll be quite happy when they merge the 3 Oceanic servers into a PvE server. Losing open world PvP will be lame but the population is really too low at the moment to be a very enjoyable experience...

Not me, my Malgus statue is sitting right next to my monitor and it still looks awesome! But I don't understand why doing voiceovers is supposedly so expensive. Surely they have the technology by now to do the character animations automatically and actually recording all of the lines...

I play on Nagafen which has a much lower pop than AB and I get groups without too much trouble in Aussie prime time. I don't use the LFG tool though, groups are organised in 1-9 on Naggy.

My experience was there wasn't enough quests to go from 92-95 in eidolon/obol. I completed every quest in the xpac and I think I was only just 94 when I finished. The heroics are great xp though, about 30% or so for a full clear which doesn't take long at all.

It is definitely disappointing how SWTOR development has been going since launch but I think we need to accept the fact that the dev team was gutted and they probably have 1/5 or less of the people working on it that they planned to. So they are releasing content at 1/5 or slower of the pace...

You'll be able to tank skyshrine fine as long as you have an ok healer. The gear in skyshrine will mostly be better than what you're wearing (especially jewellery) so you can get some nice upgrades there. The key to doing contested SS is having a lot of dps in group so you can massacre...

How many AA and what quality of gear do you have? If you have DoV quality gear like rygorr or something similar you will be fine. Tanking is pretty straightforward especially as an SK, your only issue could be aggro if you don't have some aggro management in group (like a coercer or dirge)...

If you just want to get to 95 and max your aa/prestige the fastest way is grinding in skyshrine contested in a group. You can pick yourself up a good suit of level 92 gear doing that as well as there's a lot of nameds in skyshrine contested. Once you get 92 you can do the CoE questline and start...

Yep Vanguard is exactly what I was thinking of when writing that. I'm still thinking seriously about having another go at SWTOR when that xpac comes out (I'm one of the few people who really liked the game) but it's looking like a very anaemic expansion.

I wonder if they're going to make all of the existing level 50 flashpoints worthless after this or if the expert modes will be uplevelled to 55. That page doesn't even say if there will be new flashpoints so they might completely ruin what little endgame the game does have if they have a new...

Any more information about the 'xpac' available? The official page doesn't say much other than 'more story quest' and +5 level cap.
