Star Wars: The Old Republic, Jedi Vs. Sith - Games

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;15980417]But why don't they do huge maps like SWG. Seriously, this game is turning into guild wars with lightsabers. LOCALIZED INSTANCING SUCKS BALLS, IF WE WANT TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO INVITE THEM TO A GROUP.[/QUOTE] SWG != KotOR Having no localized instancing would *break the game*.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;15982718]SWG != KotOR Having no localized instancing would *break the game*.[/QUOTE] Uh, no it wouldn't. Localized instancing would make this not an MMO. Did they even decide to use it yet? If they do, this will turn into a TPS with a pretty lobby, not an MMO.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;15982718]SWG != KotOR Having no localized instancing would *break the game*.[/QUOTE] The instancing in this game only happens when you turn in quests. It's kind of like Fable, when you talk to a quest giver, all the characters seem to disappear.

But hopefully the non-main quests will not be instanced.

I'm sure they're going to have some non-instanced areas, guys. [editline]11:31AM[/editline] What's the source that said Bioware was making use of instancing, anyway?

Nope, it is just gonna be singleplayer with chat. Also the guy said that it is only instanced for quests. Like AoC (Nighttime tortage)

Like AoC (Nighttime tortage)[/QUOTE] Well AoC is only instanced for a little bit. I think SWTOR is instanced for the whole game, and for every quest or am I mistaken? I need a source on this anywho

No, only the story quests IIRC. And not instanced the whole game.

[QUOTE=lum1naire;16001942]Well AoC is only instanced for a little bit. I think SWTOR is instanced for the whole game, and for every quest or am I mistaken? I need a source on this anywho[/QUOTE] You are greatly mistaken.

Then I see no issue. Its nothing like Guild Wars then

Then they didn't kill this game. Sooo, do you think the KOTOR combat style will be in this game? Or do you think it will be different?

Ive been loosely following this game, and is it me, or does it seem like they retained the system they had in SWG? I liked being able to choose where to shoot and manually shoot, it really removes the immersion just watching your character repeatedly preform one action without lifting a finger.

There is little to no information on the combat system. I'm hoping they do something like KotOR and allow people to use a queue for their attacks.

[editline]02:55AM[/editline] Oh do you mean a queue up, but not like a pause sort of thing.. Sorry I think I might have misread. Well yeah thats fine and dandy then. I think combos would be pretty nice when using skills, sort of like the system Age of Conan used for melee. Feels like you're more involved, instead of just keybashing and that sort.

Hopefully combat will take some more skill compared to other MMOs, seeing as how each class is supposed to play differently and have access to a different array of abilities.

Class 3 flurry with double bladed lightsaber ftw.

New video documentary has been released. [url]http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/video-documentary-3[/url] It looks good so far.

I loved Knights of The Old Republic, Both the original and The Sith Lords, but this... this looks so totally awesome that the awesomeness of this game is going to make even lame games more awesome, because of the pure total awesome coming from this awesome game. The awe of this game will even be awesome. The awesomeness will be so much, that this universe alone can not handle such awesomeness (except Chuck Norris who can stand said awesomeness), that the Combine must invade to help us tame the awesomeness, but the awesomeness of the Combine begins to tamper with the awesomeness of the game, so Garry's Mod must be activated to tame the awesomeness of the Combine Empire, so we can finish discovering this awesomeness without other awesomeness tampering with said original awesomeness.

Just watched the new Video Documentary and honestly, this game looks better than i expected, the gamepla just looks fantastic and i can't wait to play this.

Hopefully they give some more info on other classes or races soon. [editline]07:55PM[/editline] There is also a nice thread on the TOR boards that dissects the new video. [url]http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=51392[/url]

Somethingawful's got a short interview on this: [url]http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/old-republic-interview.php[/url] [editline]05:03PM[/editline] I'll let you decide for yourselves how much of it is accurate. [editline]05:04PM[/editline] The release date is apparently December 15.

Have they fixed the bug where all weapons are gigantic?

I don't think thats a bug.

This is stupid, I thought this was going to be good but they basically ripped the HUD and gameplay from WoW and took the speech option circle thing from Mass Effect. I mean seriously, what the fuck is this shit, why are the weapons so huge, and why does it look more cartoony then WoW!? And I hope the million voice actors they're hiring for this WoW ripoff #2302393 bankrupts EA.

It is only a beta, shut the fuck up. Also, if you are too fucking stupid to notice, Bioware made Mass Effect. They can take their own shit from their own games. It isn't a WoW ripoff by any means. Just because it has a similar HUD doesn't mean its a rip. Go jump off a building you stupid fuck.

WoW didn't patent Point and click gameplay.
