It's easy. Five simple steps to change any orc into an Imperial...

1) Add Space Glow to swords.
2) Add Space Nazi Bondage uniform.
3) Remove any danger.
4) Remove any AI.
5) Remove any sense of accomplishment.

You aren't following the hero engin threads, I see and are suffering from Dr. Sheldon Cooperitis.

I don't know who that is, I was attempting to channel John Hodgeman, resident expert.

An easier way to accomodate hardcore players, or players who want a challenge and group-centered play would just be to copy any dungeon from Everquest or Vanguard and replace the orcs/goblins with Imperials/Republics. Done and done. I just saved $50,000,000 in development costs. You're welcome.
Hehe

Well, yes, there are quite a few good runs in other games. I think something like this could be made using mostly existing assets...ships from flashpoints, generic war assets and terrain from Balmorra and/or Ord Mantell, Tomb sections from Korriban, any number of standard speech sections from the game for both mobs and players.

Most of the assets required to build such a run are already in the game, and would need to be assembled. I believe it could be done with little to no VO work, save perhaps your own team talking about the plan and the imps or reps talking to you after capture. Perhaps the challenge dialog might have to be recorded.

My suggestion there is to pull talent from inside the studio.

For me and several of my friends, we all would be retainable over the long run if the gear didn't look like ***.

Simple fix, right?

Having robes like what was seen in the trailers are what drew us all in, not some bright orange hazard, 2 foot long single pauldron with a bozo the clown nose as a helmet.

You do realize this game has lost 2/3 of its population, by some accounts as many as 100k in the last week and a half alone (14% of base).

Here is an off color unfair question in response to your behavior....do you want this game to fail?
I didnt see much point in commenting his comparison. He basically said that he was playing other games for a few weeks and he came back to say that this game sucks. So I was wondering why would he come back after just a few weeks in GW2 and first thing post in the forums to say that this game sucks. Or why stop playing GW2 in just few weeks. I know plenty of people playing that game and none have quit yet.

I doubt anything I do or can do can make this game fail or not fail.
