I feel like I must have terribly wronged Reg at some point in the past in some incident I've completely forgotten about but was for him some sort of traumatic experience that requires endless revenge.

This thread has mostly lost its joie de vivre since page 300.  It's because we're grinding out posts on trash mobs. As soon as an epic boss appears, we'll be good to go. Anyone got any idea how to handle the NDA? I heard full on DPS till about 40% then kill the adds and watch the rumor attacks, then burn down the rest. The NDA is cc heavy, so either you need high enough resists or to wait it out in order to defeat it. The loot it drops is of varying quality and a lot of players question its presence at all. |

The Imperial Agent is looking pretty sweet. My resolve to play a BH is weakening like a couch under a gamer's ass.

Longcoats. Ones that don't make the ass look humongous like the old KotOR robes did. Sold (well, was sold on the agent already but that just confirms it. Also, actually having trouble on picking the specialization now, since both dress damn neat) |

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...If I go sniper I can look like Cobra Commander? I retract my earlier statements regarding the popularity/play-ability of the dedicated DPSers. Fucking sold.

Hah, yes. Did cross my mind too, especially since she gets her own battle drone.
The penultimate outfit has some resemblance to Nova's ghost gear, which is also a plus in my book.

I was thinking about going agent, but now that everyone is eyefucking them, I'll just not play.  But anyway... I'll play a healer most likely. Played nothing but tanks in every thing from FFXI to Aion... though I did drive a caster at first in Aion. RIFT was my only true DPS class I ever made and was meh about it. Though I like the idea of being able to tank as an inquisitor. |

I watch that video, and while stimulated to want to play, can't help but be annoyed by seeing dozens of mobs standing within a few yards of each other, guns blazing, and no one hitting anything.

Well, that would be pretty true to the source material. |

This is the phase you've been waiting for. We're ready to begin importing your guild, Bat Country, into the game. Not that it really means anything at this point. They also released the early access info, up to five days early depending on the order codes were entered. |

MMO syndrome... extreme sniper rifle range is about 150m
That said is there some graphical term for why all the character models look like plastic action figures? I'm assuming it's some combination of modular gear, shiny finish / bloom lighting and clean textures. Reminds me quite a lot of Champions online which had the same problem.
Still, waiting for the NDA to drop is painful.

I suspect part of the reason the models have that look is that they used the Clone Wars as a major influence on their style guide.

Yes, "design".  srsly though, iirc their early interviews, that style is what they did aim at on purpose -- a take at middle ground between stylized and realistic. And yeah, the Champions Online went for something similar from what little i remember of it (or STO would probably be closer) Doubt either of them consider how it turned out an actual problem. |
