BioWare/Lucas Arts game unveiled Oct 21

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Graphics aren't an MMO's strong point, but a system to change the color of certain (if not all) parts of the armor/weapons can't that hard to make.

 

In any case, it would be awesome.

Watching Volourn and Dark Raven bicker is watching a rabid chihuahua growling and yapping at a mirror.

Yeah just like Hades and anyone from this forum.

Many things are not an MMO's strong point besides that. Story, interaction with npcs, development of characters, etc.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I think the real question we all want an answer to, because of how absolutly crucial it can be, is this:

 

 

 

 

 

Do we get hooded Jedi robes?

MMORPGs > KOTOR series

[Dark_Raven]

Biodrone is spreading lies yet again!

 

PoR2 > MMORPGs & NWN

 

Do we get hooded Jedi robes?

 

That is the big question. But seeing how lame the characters look in a toon way, it wouldn't really matter.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Also, what colours of lightsabers are there?

 

I will not rest until I have been answered.

[Dark_Raven]

Purple so you can be c00l like Mace Windu.

[random n00b]

Jeez, you two get a room already.

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I wouldn't be surprised Bioware announced they would include lightsabers of a totally new colour never used before and mortal eyes can't even see.

[Shryke]

transparent sabers!

[Dark_Raven]

White or black. Or transparent.

[Shryke]

idea thief!

[Dark_Raven]

He who hesitates loses.

 

Yeah we can have some transparent lightsabers in this wonderful game. You can't tell if its on or not.

[random n00b]

Are you trying to spam this thread to closure? If so, do you realize that people will just open a new one?

I wouldn't be surprised if you got hundreds of bright color options.

 

For my Sith character, I'd like a metal sword that's as good as a light saber. What's that substence again? Cortisol?

[Magister Lajciak]

Jeez, you two get a room already.

 

Dark Raven and Volourn or Dark Raven and Will the Almighty?

[Shryke]

or WILL and Volo?

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I have a Bio-fanboy fetish.

[Maria Caliban]

Jeez, you two get a room already.

 

Dark Raven and Volourn or Dark Raven and Will the Almighty?

 

or WILL and Volo?

 

You can fit more than two people in a room.

or WILL and Volo?

That would be yourself, WILL, Volo and Hades.

 

 

Has there been any word on what planets this awesome game will let you visit?

[Calax]

another MMO is officially declared dead.

 

Hellgate: London's Servers will be shut down on Feb 1.

 

>.>

 

not that anyone cares that much

 

Probably my biggest question in the new mmo is if they'll try to have a story that lasts longer than the first two updates (looks at SWG leerly.)

[Aristes]

I was really hyped about Hellgate: London, but the whole shaking me down for decent gear thing ruined it so I never bought the game.

 

It's like Silk Road. The game was free, but you had to pay real world cash for items. Hell, I thought being frugal and hording my gold in WoW was bad!

 

I think Hellgate's model didn't sit well, but I suppose the game might have sucked. I never played it because of the extortion.

[steelfiredragon]

in at that point in time final judgment on the old republic will be decided, and either it will soar to beat the wowtards of World of Warcraft, or it will sink to the lowest cesspits in the farthest reaches of the galaxy in some backwoods planet in the outer rim or beyond.

Cortosis weave IIRC. I am only familiar of it from KOTOR and Jedi Knight 2, but I haven't played the game in a while (I think in Jedi Knight 2 it makes your lightsaber turn off)

[Calax]

Cortosis was origionally introduced as basically mud that instantly caused a feedback loop that made lightsabers shut off due to safety cutout. I was a little bit angered at the basic idea of "cortosis allows a sword to block lightsabers huh huh huh huh" because the Tim Zahn made it quite clear that the stuff was terrible for almost anything except to cause lightsabers to shut off. but I guess in the name of "balance" they coopted it for swords.
