@thcdreams654 So? If you haven't noticed yet, TotalBiscuit/TotalHalibut is a pretty famouos game reviewer and gamer, so i think he actually has to criticize it a bit.
It would be nice to chop mobs up with a lightsaber, yes, but that would make the weapon OP. I do think armor should come with a sheild rating though. Makes sense if its the future and the most common weapon is a blaster, then surely you would have a sheild to counter that no? Still enjoy the game lots though
I agree with your thoughts about the combat, but not exactly the same, I like the idea of the lightsaber, but I don't like the idea of dual wielding lightsaber
@ItsMikeontheMic Yeah, but it shouldn't apply a bleed DoT either though, should it? It's a fucking lightsaber, not a bread knife. If they couldn't make the game fit the lore, they shouldn't have bothered, better that than another shitty MMO with rubbish PvP combined with more rape of the Star Wars IP. Only a fanboy could make excuses for this shit.
@zantetsuken2010 Actually this is a fantastic MMO, and there is no POSSIBLE way to have a LS act like it's supposed to and fit into everything else. You're complaining about PvP but if the lightsaber acted the way you wanted it to, Ranged classes would get killed in one hit. Now that's not balanced? Have you ever played Kotor? Same lightsaber combat.
@ItsMikeontheMic No possible way? You mean no possible way to make a WoW clone and make a LS act that way. Go play TF2 and let me know how impossible it is to make melee weapons that one shot people. Saying that, if this keeps all the gear lickers away from GW2 it is worth it, but I'm hoping MoP will bury SWTOR when it releases later this year, MMO gamers cant afford for SWTOR to be a financial success.
@zantetsuken2010 lmfao you're a fucking idiot. First of all, TF2 is an FPS you idiot. Call of Duty and Battlefield have 1 hit weapons too, but that's a whole different game type. MMO PvP with a class that comes standard with a One Hit Kill weapon? You're a fucking dumbass dude. There is no way in HELL that would work.
You write off swtor as a WoW clone, go ahead. The less of you idiots that take games religiously the better. It's not going anywhere though.
@ItsMikeontheMic Easily pleased dipshits like you are the reason MMOs are so fucking boring these days, all you expect is 2004 gameplay with a new skin. Firefall is a FPS MMO, but I imagine that concept is hard for you to imagine. There is no reason SWTOR couldn't have been designed the same way. They chose the 'MMO for kids' option because they didn't want the game to be skill based, as it wouldn't attract as many retards. You are their target audience, and you should feel insulted by that.
@zantetsuken2010 No, I don't expect any kind of "MMO qualities" or whatever the fuck you think. I wanted a KOTOR experience and that's EXACTLY what I've got. Swtor isn't an FPS...get it through your stupid fucking head. An RPG with PvP can't have some one hit kill weapon coming standard with four out of 8 classes. Where is the balance in that? You're going to tell me what I should be liking in a fucking computer game? lmfao bro you can blow me
i believe the reson behind limbs being cut off would be there would be no progression with mobs, for example level 1 and 13 would still have their heads cut off in one hit because they are made out of the same basic organic material. So overall through out the game all you would need is one good hit depleting the gameplay dramaticly and becoming level 50 would no long mean something if you can one hit a level 50 and the level 5.
I have a question. I'm lvl 25 Guardian and even if I go against let's say 4 mobs lvl 22 I have trouble just staying alive. I'm going as a dmg with Kira as companion and the dmg stance (can't remamber the name of it now) my lowest items is for lvl 22 I have realy good upgrades for my lightsaber and for my chest item and about 4500 HP (give or take few points) is there something I'm doing wrong? cause those mobs have like 1500 HP and it's getting really annoying heal after every fight...
if lightsabers killed everything instantly, there wouldn't be any challenge. the lightsabers don't kill instantly in any of the force unleashed games or kotor games as well as most any other star wars game that involves lightsaber combat.
@secracium Stupid comment is stupid. The fights in the movies where everything but a InstaGib-feast. If they would've made lightsabers and laser realistically lethal, there would also be tons of blocking & dodging. Would've been awesome, but it doesn't works in a MMO
just a thought on the lightsaber thing maybe experienced jedi arent killed so easily becase they can command the force to somehow protect them just a thought
While I personally agree on the lightsaber point it is impracticle if not impossible in any video game to attempt to fallow reality too closely, were the Star Wars universe entirely realistic, not taking into account the laser sword wielding space wizards and light speed travel that does not reduce you to you'r constituent molecules, no heroic story is possible, in reality the Death Star would have no fatal flaw, Luke would have been killed by the tuskens, and light sabers wouldn't exist at all
Just to say on the "lore nonsense" there's already lore from the books before the games came around to support lightsabers not automatically cutting everything. Cortosis armor and Cortosis weave was created by the madolorians and the sith during the early wars (force war and mandorlorian war) to combat lightsabers. It was a mineral that couldn't be cut by heated beams. As far as vibroblades standing up to lightsabers a vibroblade does have a thin laser screen around it due to the vibrations.
If this was the case, Jedi would be utterly useless, as anyone worth sending a Jedi after would have enough money and access to such an armour. Also, many, many, many Jedi and Sith are killed with lightsabers throughout the Star Wars history. No one mentioned this material to them? A simple "hey, you might wanna put this on *before* he cuts you in half"?
Reeks of flustered writers making shit up as they go to excuse past errors -- much like the rest of the lore.
@AstronautJ I think they account for the armor advantage quite nicely in the lore. Cortosis and similar materials are not common elements, and Jedi (especially after the Galactic Empire's purge) are not exactly found on every single planet. Thus in the comics, movies, and books they are able to excuse the average henchman not having anti-lightsaber armour, when it is unlikely they will meet a Jedi, and the stuff is hard to come by.
@AstronautJ Also bear in mind that even in the movies, lightsabers don't cut everything, at least not instantly. Luke's saber glances off Vader's shoulder in Empire Strikes Back, and in Return of the Jedi most of Jabba's henchmen seemed dropped to the floor by the blade, without any amputations. And In Phantom Menace, when Qui-Gon cuts through the Trade Federation ship's door, it takes some time to slice all the way around.
i have lvl 20 jedi guardian and i have like 3400hp even if i wear endurance stuff so is there way to get more hp or is this team game becose i played my story line and got owned becose 4 lvl 16 guys shot me lol also bosses with strong and elite rank is quite hard without help, is there solution
Wifflebats. Meh. I'll pass on the gamey-game version of Star Wars - it's like they meant to make it for the Xbox crowd. Jedi should have been an unlockable class once you have a few others at level cap.
@TotalHalibut Lightsabers should be chopping people up? What about explosions vaporising people and flamethrowers disintegrating people? Not saying you're wrong cos lightsabers chopping people up would be awesome but I don't see it as that big of a deal. I'm pretty bloody happy with just hearing the lightsabers sounds haha.
im thinking of getting this, can anyone please tell me if this is a monthly fee kind of game or a buy and play all you want kind of game? (sorry if this question seems stupid as i know most mmorpg games are monthly fee games)
I agree on the point about lightsaber battle. Lightsabers aren't sticks. We all know what lightsabers do, so why would game play NOT reflect that? It makes no sense.
You realize if they did lightsabers like they were in real life you would pretty much 1 2 or 3 shot everything and everyone...and obviously that would be quite OP...Now they could of went the mature route like Age of Conan where you could actually cut body parts off but obviously they went the Teen route instead...
this game looks like it would be boring in late game, i mean, what other weapon could there be for all the jedi`s other than diffrent lightsaber colour, imagine raid, would look silly.
its not like they can just have all the lightsaber weilders just 1 shot everything bc then they would make them too op and no one would play a bounty hunter or any kind of caster.
- gets hung up on the lightsaber being a flashy club.
Anyone hear the phrase "suspension of disbelief"? Well with the lightsaber you need to do it twice. First to accept the existance of a beam of light with stationary dimensions that can mince people. Second suspension reels back on the mincing part and now it's just a beam of light with enough mass to club people. :P
@Yeremita I think you're missing the point. It's not about what sorta crazy-ness we believe about a beam of light that can mince people... it's about whether or not the game's universe is INTERNALLY-CONSISTENT. You can't have a light-saber chopping people's body parts off one minute, and then acting like a Nerf baseball bat the next. People in the movies live through fireballs and blasters all the time... but light-sabers, not so much. This game is breaking it's own rules, which is annoying.
@Bhorzo You seem to miss the point that this is a game. If there was a class that could 1-shot every other class the game would be inbalanced and the game would become terrible. Would you like to play a game where you die every 5 seconds? In that case everybody would be a Jedi, making the whole universe full of Jedi, wich is annoying.
@RobotZombieBatman Dude you're also missing the point. It's a game, so there obviously should NOT be one-shotting by anyone. But what happens in the movies? Do you remember at all? People dodge light sabers, or they can have shields. That would make sense at least. It's better to add defensive abilities to a game than to nerf what many feel is the most powerful and ultimate weapon of all time. The problem is the game is breaking Star Wars rules when it doesn't really have to.
No, I'm not missing the point. You sir, are the one missing the point. There are any number of things in that game which should result in instantaneous death. They do not. He doesn't complain about those. Have I restated it plainly enough for you?
Really looks like WoW I'm pretty sure that if I'll play this I'll play it on a PVE server as a story-driven singleplayer game and just finish all the cool stories/character and say goodbye because what ive seen so far of raiding does not interest me and PVP is something I only do casually.But I think playing with a friend through the story experience could be a lot of fun I just dont really see it as an mmo then more of a Coop game.
@BuFufilms You see it incorrectly then. I dunno why people go on about TOR's story so much. Every MMO has story, just with TOR Bioware is putting their own spin on the Story and promoting that along with everything else. TOR looks much more like Everquest and Vanguard than WoW.
That's right! all of you get a free, yes FREE MMORPG (if you don't know what that is it is a Massive Multyplayer Online Role Playing Game) if you are subscribed to me. But only if I reach 1667 subscribers! thanks.
The only Star Wars game I can remember that treats light sabers right, is probably the Jedi Knight series, with the last two having really good combat mechanics as well.
@Niklasthelazy i did on high pop servers, it was a pain in the arse, i mean i personally used single style medium to combat that very issue, the jumping overhead(joda) attack, would block the saber and all im just saying Jedi knight games had balancing issues regardless of how much i loved them
@Niklasthelazy its an mmorpg.... it would be retarded if lightsabers would work as they do in the movies... and if you cant figure out why ur stupid=)
@wenom12345 Yes, I know...I didn't mean it should be that way in tor, as I'd even think it would have been stupid in any of the KotoR games as well. I think the idea mentioned here about a shield which 'stop working' when a character is low on health sounds like a good idea.
@Niklasthelazy Thank you good sir! i thought no one but me cared about how good those games actually felt.
Also about the vid...well i was always a big fan of lightsabers, force etc and im liking the ranged classes more ...but i could have told you how pathetic this game was going to look(in pvp mostly) from the first gameplay vid i saw. I dont know if i should thumb down the vid coz of how dumb this game is turning out or up coz you gotta love TB and everything he does
@Niklasthelazy My fav action adventure/melee combat games were the 2 jedi knight games outcast and academy and the 3 (good) prince of persia games but those were more about creating combos rather then 1v1 or 1v2 dueling, but i do recommend them (even tho i doubt you didnt play them :P), cheers.
IMO: What needs to happen is the whole "shield generator" thing needs to be in effect until someone is about to die, then the death of that person should be some type of dismemberment.
Hand, arm, head, whatever.
That would keep with the immersion without imbalancing the actual game.
Ummm, I don't mean to insult anyone, but I really don't see the appeal of this game. Could someone explain to me why would you play this over other MMOs?
So exploding ammunitations does not break people apart, is fine? I except also that person is in tiny bits after I throw a sticky grenade on a person and it explodes, it does not happen, I'm mortally disappointed!
I honestly dont see a difference between hitting someone with a axe and hitting them with a lightsaber. They both will pretty much wreck your shit. Your point is invalid, good day sir!
wow... first time i've heard of this game. Being a person who hates WoW now with the retarded story line, I may turn to this game. How is this game compared to WoW in totality? Any recommendations?
@Jumpfuk Plays very similar to wow except it has that class system in aion if you've played it. Get to level 10 and you make a choice to change your class in a more fixed route, like the jedi knight can become more tanky or chose to become a dual wielding dps class :), It's very story driven with alot of NPC chat similar to say: mass effect dragon age and of course KOTOR :D.
Basically if you played wow and liked the style but the story was stupid, then this is for you.
@Jumpfuk Not to get into a nerd war with you, (so don't reply) but beyond the surface level of questing, WoW has some of the best lore writers that are around, so that I can tell. As far as the whole panda thing... no idea. But before hand? they were pretty decent.
@dacatmon I agree. I love Warcraft lore, and I'm not ashamed to say I enjoyed the lore the most out of WoW. Played it for over 6 years. I will say that it slowly started to get.. odd, after TBC, but I digress.
About the lightsaber (this wont ever reach a dev lol) but you could implement "defense points" for lightsaber classes you know you just block and dodge untill the "points" is low enough and just 1-2 attacks will finnish them of and make them into bits- I know the current thing is how MMOs work but yeah
@MindofDurz What I meant is I'm not gonna stick to it the same way I was stuck with wow for the past few years. Ofcourse I'm gonna play it it's a huge mmo title. I'm just saying that I'm probably gonna leave it as soon as GW2 comes out
Have fun with your six months of content SWTOR players because without innovation like separating pve and pvp skills, loot that isn't based on dungeons alone, and gear that can be gotten through participation in world events WITHOUT the trinity and WITHOUT the need to be put into a group, it's simply just another basic mmo. Without innovation it will never get my dollar. GW2 here i come.
@the1tigglet Well yeah it is... do you urm, i dunno ever listen to TB? or did you just wander here by accident? (generally asking a question, no sarcasm)
It is mostly riding on its story and the fact it's star wars! Most of its flaws can be countered with "but I can get a lightsaber" i'm afraid :P
the trooper vanguard gotta be the most disappointing thing...seriously if im a tank then give me a big ass cannon of a gun not this wimpy assault rifle...hell i have seen super soaker's that look more bad ass then the wimpy assault rifle we get
I've always thought the same thing about lightsaber content ever since playing KOTOR. I understand that if the weapon functioned the same as it should in the films than it would really be a gamebreaking weapon, but they could have at least animated some limbs being severed or something.
@GwresYnKernow I thought you gained companions through the story... in which case, knowing which NPC's will end up as your companion will not only ruin the suprise when they announce that they wish to team up with you, but also effect your decisions in terms of not offending them..
@mctavish800 I thought you gained companions through the story... in which case, knowing which NPC's will end up as your companion will not only ruin the suprise when they announce that they wish to team up with you, but also effect your decisions in terms of not offending them..
Really dumb asking for lightsabers to cut people in half in a MMO game lol...Same as in any other MMO there are lots of things that would cut enemy in pieces but they don't cause thats how MMO's work.
@Ros718 That's why they;re lightsabers, and if it says star wars, i damn well expect to have 1 which can do exactly that. Fighting in itself is about evading and blocking as much as attacking.
@clangersrule Sure it would be awesome if that were the case. But in a multiplayer enviroment that isn't especially practical. Defence would then be focused on redicoulos amounts of dodging and such, which classes other than the jedi classes can't do since they're not force sencitive. To be honest, a normal sword will cut of limbs with a powerfull blow, isn't all mmo's unrealistic then? And to justify my statement even more, everyone would pick jedi classes if they could one-hit everything.
so this game is more about the jedi vs sith war? :P What ever happened to "Only 2 there are, no more...no less... A master, and an apprentice"

-accepts that giant fireballs, blasters, etc won't necessarily instantly kill enemies.
- gets hung up on the lightsaber being a flashy club.
Anyone hear the phrase "suspension of disbelief"? Well with the lightsaber you need to do it twice. First to accept the existance of a beam of light with stationary dimensions that can mince people. Second suspension reels back on the mincing part and now it's just a beam of light with enough mass to club people. :P
Yeremita 2 months ago 8
@Yeremita I think you're missing the point. It's not about what sorta crazy-ness we believe about a beam of light that can mince people... it's about whether or not the game's universe is INTERNALLY-CONSISTENT. You can't have a light-saber chopping people's body parts off one minute, and then acting like a Nerf baseball bat the next. People in the movies live through fireballs and blasters all the time... but light-sabers, not so much. This game is breaking it's own rules, which is annoying.
Bhorzo 2 months ago in playlist Uploaded videos
@Bhorzo You seem to miss the point that this is a game. If there was a class that could 1-shot every other class the game would be inbalanced and the game would become terrible. Would you like to play a game where you die every 5 seconds? In that case everybody would be a Jedi, making the whole universe full of Jedi, wich is annoying.
RobotZombieBatman 2 months ago
@RobotZombieBatman Dude you're also missing the point. It's a game, so there obviously should NOT be one-shotting by anyone. But what happens in the movies? Do you remember at all? People dodge light sabers, or they can have shields. That would make sense at least. It's better to add defensive abilities to a game than to nerf what many feel is the most powerful and ultimate weapon of all time. The problem is the game is breaking Star Wars rules when it doesn't really have to.

@Bhorzo
No, I'm not missing the point. You sir, are the one missing the point. There are any number of things in that game which should result in instantaneous death. They do not. He doesn't complain about those. Have I restated it plainly enough for you?

Really looks like WoW I'm pretty sure that if I'll play this I'll play it on a PVE server as a story-driven singleplayer game and just finish all the cool stories/character and say goodbye because what ive seen so far of raiding does not interest me and PVP is something I only do casually.But I think playing with a friend through the story experience could be a lot of fun I just dont really see it as an mmo then more of a Coop game.

@BuFufilms You see it incorrectly then. I dunno why people go on about TOR's story so much. Every MMO has story, just with TOR Bioware is putting their own spin on the Story and promoting that along with everything else. TOR looks much more like Everquest and Vanguard than WoW.

The jumping attack is easy to spot and avoid after you've played for a while.
Also, all saberstyles can easily kill you in one hit if you don't defend properly and you don't have shields.

@Niklasthelazy i did on high pop servers, it was a pain in the arse, i mean i personally used single style medium to combat that very issue, the jumping overhead(joda) attack, would block the saber and all im just saying Jedi knight games had balancing issues regardless of how much i loved them

IMO: What needs to happen is the whole "shield generator" thing needs to be in effect until someone is about to die, then the death of that person should be some type of dismemberment.
Hand, arm, head, whatever.
That would keep with the immersion without imbalancing the actual game.

@Jumpfuk Plays very similar to wow except it has that class system in aion if you've played it. Get to level 10 and you make a choice to change your class in a more fixed route, like the jedi knight can become more tanky or chose to become a dual wielding dps class :), It's very story driven with alot of NPC chat similar to say: mass effect dragon age and of course KOTOR :D.
Basically if you played wow and liked the style but the story was stupid, then this is for you.

@Jumpfuk Not to get into a nerd war with you, (so don't reply) but beyond the surface level of questing, WoW has some of the best lore writers that are around, so that I can tell. As far as the whole panda thing... no idea. But before hand? they were pretty decent.

I've always thought the same thing about lightsaber content ever since playing KOTOR. I understand that if the weapon functioned the same as it should in the films than it would really be a gamebreaking weapon, but they could have at least animated some limbs being severed or something.

clangersrule 2 months ago
@clangersrule Sure it would be awesome if that were the case. But in a multiplayer enviroment that isn't especially practical. Defence would then be focused on redicoulos amounts of dodging and such, which classes other than the jedi classes can't do since they're not force sencitive. To be honest, a normal sword will cut of limbs with a powerfull blow, isn't all mmo's unrealistic then? And to justify my statement even more, everyone would pick jedi classes if they could one-hit everything.
