  1. I'll just leave : this (from user tiana_arylle) and this (from some star wars wiki) here... And you guys sort it out...
  2. You got me wrong ! I was just pointing out the important fact it's on the known issue list now. So we have our answer for now, that's all !
  3. There is a thread already with a yellow answer, would be better to go on talking about it there no ? Also it's been aknowledged : it's now in the known issues list :
  4. It's been added to the known issue list under the section "item & economy" : So thanks a ton !
  5. *The* /ignore list... Omagad... Won't be able to sleep tonight !
  6. Same : get used to it too... Pot meet Kettle :
  7. Andryah, your broad generalization are broad, and in regard to that art style topic, your generalizations are light years from the reality. Your dreams and conspiracy theories over NCSoft deciding the art direction over Carbine artists are dreams and conspiracy theories. I don't need to be defensive : you're just inventing things as you write them...
  8. About W*, They're still cryptic about it and saying they don't want to announce it yet, but at the same time during a recent interview, the game director, or it was the producer, don't remember his exact title, said it would probably launch with a hybrid model. He was quoted once too as saying, and laughing as he did, that no matter what payment model there would be there would always be a large chunk of the population that wouldn't like it.
  9. You need to be lvl 52 to start the quest chain, and some of the macro-binoculars and digging happens on Makeb.
  10. You still haven't told us what you think about the PVP dummies have you ?
  11. Oh : fact ! The magic word... I'll tell you a fact : north american cartoon art mastery is light years ahead compared to the rest of the world, and this has been the case ever since Disney in the 30s... And yes it's a stretch to try to find any Asian style influence in W* art direction just because NCSoft is an Asian publisher, one just have to look at the art style AND animation to see for himself, but one has to have a bit of knowledge in art AND animation before making totally uneducated blanket statement. Oh and now we have "childish" thrown in the middle... As well as cutsie cutsie... And no I have never made a premise saying childish cartoony was a western art style, since nowhere have I said "childish" : only you have... But see your contradiction and the way you try to deflect it ? On the quote above you *are* talking about Asian Art Style, and you were too in the earlier posts, and then on the quote below this is shifting somehow to not be totally about art style anymore but more like some sort of marketing study about childish style and Asian Adults... Nice pirouette ! Well : nice spin... As usual... And you know it !
  12. One of the solution, but it's a really hard one, is to have the content actually *train* the player to be better and get more skilled over time. It is extremely difficult to design that way in MMOs, and not only in MMOs, in solo RPGs as well... Especially since more and more people are getting lazy and fight against that and refrain to be trained and want to still be uber-powerful against mobs even when they clearly need to L2P. It sure is fun when you learn the game and for the first 10 lvls, but after that it is a nightmare to design and tweak.
  13. It's a matter of taste for sure. Let's just say that, in the MMO space, the games that have a real nice and/or strong art direction are very rare and for those that have at least a few thousands subbers it's like less than 5, in the past 10 years. What I was saying earlier was just about the comment made by Andryah that W* art direction is to cater to the Asian market... For anyone who knows just a little about graphics AND animations it's very apparent that the roots are extremely, firmly and strongly set in north american historical cartoony style. It's nowhere near the way graphics are produced, AND animation is made in Asia. It just is Andryah trying to subtly denigrate W* art in a "sort" of subtle way... We both know *exactly* what I meant don't we ?
  14. You have just no clue about art style and art direction Andryah. But anyway, the efforts you deploy for this negative propaganda just show who is trying too hard... But hey let's be happy for SWTOR when W* launches : it will mean BW will have to release stuff they been holding onto in order to retain customers when the time is appropriate... And you know it ! Cool story... I'll shed a tear... One day...
  15. Am pretty certain someone could quote you and replace NCsoft with EA and Carbine with BW and the result would be much closer to the reality isn't it ? Armchair analyst is analysing from her armchair... "Team composition means nothing" : LOL, by looking at what SWTOR was 1-50 and what it is now I frankly think you're badly mistaken... It's the same art-style as WoW... Oh but you're right WoW clearly failed in the west and only performed well in Asia... Oh wait... Were you the one back in the days in the EQ forums saying that you couldn't imagine any fantasy fan abandonning EQ for WoW ?
