    Is it a big deal O.o? I would HATE to be the developers of a game like this. LOTRO and Star wars dev teams are just scary. If they do anything wrong or add anything different people get annoyed =/ (not directed at you cinder but your post just made me think of it :P)

    I remember reading a thread about rune priests in LOTRO....loyal fans.....

    Thanks for the info anyway.

    if a Jedi/Sith can not wftpwn 20 of those in under 5 seconds, it sucks from a roleplaying (and IP) perspective

    if they can,it sucks from a gameplay perspective

    tough luck for Bioware...
    We must go forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

    Currently Playing:
    - Guild Wars 2

    Waiting for:
    - Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade

    Yep you pretty much summed up why making an mmorpg that doesnt consist of just jedi's and sith is impossible. Without them people wouldnt play it with them people will complain. Dunno why they didnt just keep it to just jedi and sith though.

    Although that would make it limited to 3 classes for each side? Counselor, Guardian, Sentinel.

    pretty much any marine can do that. are you saying they should not be doing that or can't do it?

    did you ever play starwars republic commando(get it if you haven't!)? those guys are pretty elite. if you play as just a normal grunt then yea...1 uber jedi(luke, vader etc) should be able to wipe out 50 at once.

    i would imagine we have never seen many republic troopers at a ceremony.

    Not that that's a bad thing or anything, just, I found the shooting a bit clunky.

    Although, it's a bit early to make an kind of judgement like that.

    I know my friend will buy the game the second it releases, so, I'll probably give it a try.
    pal, the gameplay could be EXACTLY like kotor and i would still buy it. the storyline is what makes these games so amazing. they say the storyline of this one faaar exceeds the other 2 combined, while also changing with the choices you make. not to mention they will constantly update it as the game matures.

    You apparently dont understand the mechanics of the SW universe. If you read more into the SW lore, you will discover that there were bounty hunters who were able to use light sabres and were not force sensitive. There were certain troopers who were able to headshot force sensitive players.

    Being force sensitive (Jedi or Sith) does not make you a one man army.

    Besides, what you saw the Trooper do is something that it does when the player is idle. I am suprised you never seen any other (IRL) military groups do this.

    Hell, in the Navy, when we did our marches I was point. We were able to give a bit of "flash" to our unit's march.



    Players who think they can think like developers and publishers are idiots as well.

    As for you other point... You will discover that many players will tweak their force senisitive characters to being specific roles within their career path. Its not going to be uncommon to see a field medic along side a force healer tweak.
    all of this is true, not to mention not every jedi is a darth vader or luke skywalker. you see TONS of jedi get pwned by some random scrub with a blaster. being a jedi doesn't make you invincible.

    i disagree with this one 100%. i don't play tabletop games because i find them boring, not because they're too complex for me. i'm sure 99% of other gamers who don't play tabletop feel the exact same way. you COULD say we don't have the imagination for it.
