If you didn't have a regular group who also had the content, about the only think Splitpaw was good for was a free port to Thundering Steppes.

I never got that.  My wizard could never solo that one heroic area even with the megabuff. Hell, I don't think I ever did it with my SK, either. Man do I hate heroic/elite/cockblock game design that is now here to stay. |

Well, in EQ, it was soloable. You'd be about 30 levels too high for the content, but you could indeed do it solo. |

"Now"? As if there was a time when all content was soloable? You may have been blocked out of some of the boss and raid content in EQ, but a necro could solo a good portion of the game. A lot more than after they put in group-only buffed mobs (elites/heroics/etc). I could solo everything in UO :) |

Just because one class was very good at soloing does not mean the game was soloable.

If you had played a necro in EQ2 you wouldn't have complained about the Splitpaw thing either. |

My whole existence in EQ2 was about twinking the shit out of my necro....but I never got that far. Got my SK to 45 or so, decided to twink /him/, so got the wizard to 75...and that was all she wrote.

Twinked all my other toons in EQ2, they still didn't get that far. Twinking isn't nearly as easy as it was in the old days.

Ok. I'm trying to keep up with info releases, but this thread is filled with so much biley stupid, it's difficult. |

Yes, but how do you balance that against the looming threat of the Star Wars MMO super thread. What if they add twitch to this?!??!?! Anyhow, I'm with you as to looking forward to this game. What they've described so far seems tailor made for my play style and current gaming habits. |

I loved KOTOR when it came out, KOTOR2 was...ok but unfinished and then Mass Effect came out and blew those out of the water. To be honest, this game does not look as good as Mass Effect and that's where the bar has been set now.

Maybe I'm alone here, but I loved KOTOR but hated Mass Effect. The Star Wars setting and the more traditional RPG feel made KOTOR awesome, while ME felt like generic_sci_fi_game with shooter elements. |

I love the KoToR setting and story, but God help me if I have to use it's combat system again. I am a much bigger fan of the Shootery-enough, RPG-enough Mass Effect style.

This probably borders on heresy for someone from my generation who grew up playing with Star Wars toys constantly, but... I really, really prefer the ME setting. At least until they Ewok it up in episode 3 somehow. |

Star Wars has young Harrison Ford in tight pants, thus Star Wars wins for me. I can forgive a LOT of sins for young Harrison Ford in tight pants. |

A good ME vs KOTOR (or even ME vs SWOR) argument could push this thread to the 200 page mark.
I'm currently playing through ME on Insanity with my first FemShep and I've got to say that the BioWare emperor's clothes are threadbare in many places. But I want to finish it before I head over to ME2.

Looks like your typical MMO. I still don't get why Star Wars gives MMO nerds such a hardon. |

Star Wars fans are basically in the "abused spouses" club that includes illustrious members such as Sonic fans and people who still like SquareEnix.

Insanity was crazy. Made worse by the overheat bug. <pew pew> <permanent overheat> <switch> <pew overheat> <again> <last weapon too> <melee five enemies to death ON INSANITY> |

My favourite bits have been knocking targets into walls and having them teleport through and get locked there where I can't hit them. And krogans are just nuts to kill at Insanity. I really don't like it where I have to exploit AI stupidity just to pass an area because there is no way of legitimately taking them out. |

After watching through all the videos of this game, I kind of want them to massively restructure the animation teams and start from scratch on trying to make the character animations not look terrible.
