ive noticed this to. It seems like everyone is in tank gear and it doesnt hurt their dps much but they live forever. Tanks somehow self sustain against 3+ people with their own medspacks etc its boring and also i dont remember it being this stupid back in 2012

Thing is if you liked old school swg you will probably like this game if you enjoy a dark ages twist. It's a lot of the same things as swg. You get your land you take care of it and build it up. Heavily guild and clan groups encouraged to do runs and build things. The exploring seems nice as well as the pvp. I consistently see vids where just because your max lvl doesn't mean jack. Coordination and focus fire wins no matter the lvl which is nice. Cuss in eq2 back when I played it pre f2p. One high lvl could lawl roll face 6 people who were only 10-15 lvls lower. And in archeage that won't happen thankfully.

http://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_2_complete This site is called good old games. I do believe it is a quality website for purchasing games no longer on the main stream market. And I know they have never winter for sale which is a great game by bio ware for story! And I know you may be able to find it free somewhere but I don't know if I'd trust it!

If you wanna stick to f2p mmorpg a I rec If you want free go for rift. If you want a good already solid based and developed game that has quality work into it. You won't be disappointed. If you want sandbox without decent story but basically a rpg pvp mine craft purchase $$0-150$ in archeage. I enjoyed twitch vids of it so much I bought it. Now I am playing in beta and enjoying it! liked the idea of FarmVille with dark age pvp and cool pirate ships all craft able and rideable. And the great thing is it is nothing like swtor so it gives you a break till you feel like going back and it is going to be a similar f2p model as swtor. Check out some steams to see if you like it let me link you a swtor streamers twitch who is a Canadian who is in alpha and beta he has videos up. And I strongly recommend you watch him act drunk and perform a smash and force sweep irl. http://www.twitch.tv/stalzy

Just so you know I am not trying to down the game I love it. The game is fun because the mechanics rocks and the style for crafting and game play is fresh! It is worth a play through and then you have a decision to make that suits you. I enjoyed how craft able gear at end game actually gives good stats and is worth buying or making! But man the barriers for raids and the difficulties involved in stressful time runs stink and the pvp gear is broken and so on the pvp has actually way to much wrong ATM between boosters and cheaters and macroers And botters and gear gaps and Get this .... Spawn campers and no I am not talking about waiting outside the spawn I am saying the players can jump into and stand at your spawn and kill you as you revive and btw they are not banning anyone for this but they said it was not meant to happen and their working on Fixing it. So groups will not cap the objectives and make the match last the whole 25+ minutes to get kills which btw when you die even in bg's you lose durability and they grief you for the whole time. But hey I am not upset about that at all nope not at all. It's not like I avoid games like dark fall for a reason because griefing play styles are so fun. But hey let's not use the ban hammer or anything. #unsubbed

Did this from cell phone at work excuse my english I have a 50 medic and 50 stalker let me hit you with it. Summary: the story is fun, a enjoyable experience as a rpg from vl1-50 and pvp is decent 1-49. Once your 50 if you like hard stuff and enjoy time consumption most can't handle or break great this is for you. If your a casual like me and enjoy life outside and are okay with just doing the lame easy version of stuff then the game ain't for you! If you enjoy pvp at max in games get 50 and quit till it is fixed the combat is fun and enjoyable but not worth playing till fixed and I hope it is but we shall see The game is fun in general. The fighting mechanics is fresh and interesting. The difficulty is nice from lvl 1-50 and pvp from lv 1-49 is fun just like swtor. It lacks the lore and history of swtor and depth. Overall though it does better then most games even better than rift IMHO as to why we are there etc etc etc The leveling process for 1 char on each faction is nice. But after 1 50 on either side it is a drag to replay and this coming from a guy with altitus who has 7 55's in swtor! At 50 though if you value your casual experience quit. On paper and in a blog, 40 man raids and long enduring drawn out raid attunements look good. But so does communism. That doesn't mean we should do it though! Seriously 40 man raids wouldn't be bad but to attune people to the 20 man it is long and enduring and the dungeons and adventures leading up to it time limits which are more stressful than forgiving!and once the serious guys are done with them. They have no reason to help out unless your a guilder because loot and what not is meh. Then to get 40 man attuned you have to complete 20 man which is not a cake walk. Then you have to have 40 people who are decent and will listen. It is not like back in vanilla wow where you ran 10-15 people through a dung and then your ready for 40 and you only needed your core 20 and you could almost pug the rest from other guilds. The attunements leading up to are a serious barrier that many find daunting and not worth it. as well as the skill lvl is taxing. There is no easy med high setting to work through or work up to. like a good console game. Or how they have for wow and swtor. Which is great because let's face it only a small percentage are your hard raiders and those guys aren't your money makers. The casuals with jobs and families have the money's to spend on the game and since we play less you make more money from us cuss we take less resources. However wildstar is not catering to that side so it is depressing and servers are down in pop so maybe only 1 guild per server per faction may be able to do 40 mans which is sad. Back in vanilla wow with less mmorpg competition there may have been 3 or more guilds per server per faction with a 40 man roster!!! Now for pvp. There are many bots enough that the forums are littered with posts and sadly no afk reporting or booting option for the bots. Sadly they should of slowly started pvp gearing if they had just the blue item pvp starter set to work with from the get go thatd be no problem! However off the bat they had tier 1 and teir 2 purple gear for arena out. Which meant if you were max at start you got 1800 rating already and now roflstomp any new players. You can read plenty of posts especially by a guy named pignablanket who complains that he can crit for 10k dng but these new guys can only crit for 6k all because of how big this hear gap is. Oh and go listen to zybaks vlog! They made that 1800 tier 2 pvp gear best in slot for pve stats!!! So everyone who was 1800 then took money and killed their rating and then boosted people for plat in arenas so they could give gear to others!!! People charging guildies and the like for boosts and not a single person was banned!!! All now have gear so lvl 50 pvp in its current state is a wash.

Oh Ty for info and I never unsubbed I just been waiting for updates and finally bored with other games. And disappointed with wildstar a bit so unsubbed not to surprising I suppose. Love the mechanics love them! Mechanics can only get you so far when you get two shot in pvp from people who bought arena rating And your not allowed to have wiggle room and a casual time in groups of dungeons. After the 5th vote disband to a group instead of just enjoying it and learning and finishing it. Which is what you always have done in swtor and wow and coh and every other game... you get a disgusting taste in your mouth for the lackluster of let's just quit because we died already once..... But that's another subject for another forum. Ty for info haha

Hey if I had magical powers high priority on my list would be to take this games lore series and keep it the same. Take the combat mechanics of what's good from Tera / wildstar / gw2 / Jedi knights. Mash it into swtor Then throw out the pvp and in place put a battlefront style / x wing style / Jedi knight mysteries of the sith style mashed I would but that is a fantasy in my head sadly

So I left for a bit then came back for makeb when it was free. Completed it 4 times on rep and 3 on emp. Was fun and got me up to date with the story. Now I am back again after another long stint and I am lost. I haven't found any quest lines to pick up as to why tython and korriban went boom. And I don't understand a few of the newer adventure type 4 mans. If you can hit me up as to where to go republic side to fill myself in I was hoping there was a quest line I would play through somewhere to catch up! Or hit me with the links I missed if it is just written lore thank you much.

well to continue with the OP. I forgot to mention part of the problem i suppose with lv55 PVP now losing pop atm is because GSF has no Lvl Req/Lockout/bracket ect so you can get your experience for your low lvl while you also learn how to fly in GSF which most people and i don't blame them are using a low lvl for it because it is quick Q's with a large player pool ranging from 10-55 However this hurts lvl 55 pvp:(

Gambling: an undertaking or attempt with a risk of loss and a chance of profit or success. If i am spending money to get cards that are worth future profits. And i purchase a pack and get all crap cards that are worth throwing out because they will have no value. Yes imho yes are you taking a chance for successful profit. If you get the crappy drug addicts card... yea you lost on that 1. Though this is hardly a good illustration a far better one is the Lotto cards you get from gas stations. That is much more similar to what a pack is imho.

Really? while he shouldn't bother posting what he does or where he graduated to make his argument more legitimate. Must you be a grammar/spelling nazi and basically do something similar? This is a game and a forum so long as a point is understood and able to be talked about. Ones spelling or grammar is hardly worth discussing over the internet.

Again, you never answered why do you care about my first world problems? Remember it is just a MMO /end discussion, no? no? okay. I am making a suggestion on a product that i regularly pay for and participate in. I will do so how i want and say what i want. So long as i am within their forum rules they do not mind me participating. And yes i will play this game how i want when i want, TYVM that is how i have been doing it with my SUB and my CC. okay.....? Frequently individuals generalize that credits are so easy to get, so easy, so easy. Just spend the time. You know not everyone fits into this Generalization of either A. having the time to spend. or B. wanting to spend the time. It is unfair to say buy from the GTN, especially when they have the items on the CM. They offer the CM items on the CM for you to buy.. So that must mean they want us to purchase them their, if we want to... Well i would like to for some items. However i only like buying what i want to buy. Not a chance for what i want. That is uncouth nty And other things again, Dye's having no legacy bind and reuse. That is a bad product to sell and i will not purchase it from the GTN or the CM. When they decide to make it a reasonable product that again is LEGACY bound and REUSABLE. That would be a respectable purchase.

Ilum was fun on only 1 or 2 servers where republic fought back and was organized. And there was actual battles in the middle. If Ilum had just been a que of 25-40 vs 25-40 people and was instanced it would have been decent because at least it would have been assured to be a fair fight or at least a chance at one.

Part of the reason you are not seeing the ground peoples is a lot of posters have said that when they go to enjoy space. They do it on low lvl characters. Because of space offering EXP and no lvl requirement. Most have found it better off to just inbetween que's be on the character they want to lvl. That way they are essentially killing two birds with 1 stone. EXP for alt + getting better at the space game in general. Which will cause lv55 que's to slow down pretty hard. And then people who are only interested in ground pvp at 55lv will be annoyed and leave because it has slowed down so hard. two cents /insert
