bugarup Posted December 27, 2022 Posted December 27, 2022 You can give secondary class to your characters now, meaning you can make everyone stealthy. Doesn't help with all FE/ET trash because there are too many that ignore stealth, but it does weed out some.
bugarup Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 IStar Wars: The Old Republic Going Third-Party as BioWare Focuses on Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I'm sure that Bioware, now unburdened with backbreaking labour of updating SWTOR with 5 hours worth annual content, will instantly propel Dragon Age from concept art stage and Mass Effect from repackaging. 1

Hopefully this works out well for TOR. Plenty of MMO's have changed hands and continued on alright. LotrO going for Turbine to Standing Stone (a smaller group made up of former Turbine employees) and that worked out pretty well.
Raithe Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Well I think Broadsword is pretty much a "maintenance" only rather than a "continue development" going from their history. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

It looks like they have Dark Ages of Camelot and Ultima Online right now, but I don't know what they've done to those games. TOR is also kind of stuck with the narrative experience of the game. Like, you can't rework the leveling system without messing up the storylines of the level 1-60 experience. They'd benefit from new classes or something fresh to attract people, but I don't think it would be simple to implement. WoW and LotRO have rebuilt the starting areas and introduced new classes numerous times to make it fresh. 2

melkathi Posted Wednesday at 09:55 AM Posted Wednesday at 09:55 AM Just got the email that if I do not log in, I'll lose my character names Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
Humanoid Posted Wednesday at 10:56 AM Posted Wednesday at 10:56 AM Losing my character names when the Aussie servers were shut down and merged into the US ones was one of the big reasons I never bothered even trying to play the game again. And all that only to bring the servers back later... L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
melkathi Posted Wednesday at 11:23 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:23 AM Yeah, same for me with the EU server merger. I think half my characters lost their names. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
ShadySands Posted Wednesday at 08:06 PM Posted Wednesday at 08:06 PM Same, I lost about half my names when they merged servers way back when. I would have rather had KOTOR3 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
bugarup Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Damn, will have to log in then, really don't want to lose my Darths Continentia, Halitosis and Bertie Wooster, my bounty hunter Payme, Jedi Knight Izno Goud, Cathar trooper Gary Kittenberg...
melkathi Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Logged in. Remembered that 3 out of 5 characters didn't have names since the first server merger. Logged out. Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
ShadySands Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago Currently downloading like 40 gigs of patches for a game I'm probably not even going to put 5 minutes into Free games updated 3/4/21
majestic Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago Honestly can't be assed. Since I quit before the second wave of server merges, I don't even know how many of my characters still have their names. Probably none. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Hurlshort Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I renamed some characters when I got the urge to play over the summer. It was pretty simple, since plenty of names are available with the smaller player base. The fact they opened up all the classes for the storylines helped. I didn't like the playstyle of a few of the stories, but I found it much easier to enjoy the smuggler while using the skills of a dual pistol merc.

bugarup Posted 6 minutes ago Posted 6 minutes ago I view it as a cenotaph to Bioware as it was at its peak. Here's hoping it stays for a long, long time so I could come and pay annual respects.
