How The Old Republic can compete and beat Guild Wars 2

As per my earlier post from what i read they just renamed the trinity damage / control / support and wrapped up healer into the support role.

so its still a trinity model as far as i can see...

for the clueless ppl that obviously dont know **** about gw2

and about the thread title: it cant.

From around 6 minutes and forward he is just trolling or really stupid. He don't understand interaction between the player and the game. When you switch weapons your abilities gets switched out. That does not mean you get MORE abilities it means you replace your current ones. So in total you have 5 active abilities tied to your "class" or weapon of choice.
So this is a really dumbed down game and I would not be surprised if it got designed to be converted to consoles. Because clearly the number of buttons on SNES controller is enough to use all your characters abilities.

The holy trinity in MMO's refers to the 3 distinct but necessary roles people can play in the game.

Tank
Healer
DPS

in most mmo's if you want to defeat any high end content, each of the 3 must be represented in some way in your party.

the boss only dies when the dps reduce its health to 0

dps cant do damage when they are dead so they need a tank to soak the damage for them

tanks cant live forever so they need a healer to keep them alive

healers don't have unlimited resources so the dps need to kill the boss before they run out of healing resources and the whole show falls apart.

unless they somehow changed the concept while i was leveling my assassin.

:They are considering Diablo 3 for the consoles, so anything is possible.

you aren't locked into a certain role by what class you pick, that's why it's a better system.

Ahh i see...thanks for clarifying guys...

Nice concept actually but meh...its still guild wars.

Ill check it out maybe as its f2p but i never could get into the first game.

Deffo wont replace TOR for me as im totally burnt out on high fantasy MMORPGs and im also suspicious as to the longevity of a game that launches f2p intentionally.
