co-op and pvp space missions? Sweet!

4842

I’ve only ever not done one of the extra side missions to kill things, because the things to kill were at a previous part of the area and once I killed them on my way back, the next part was deeper in the area where I’d just been completing my quests. I really didn’t want to go back in at that point.

Also, they really need to reduce any of the quest chain ending boss spawns for these by about 50%

What is the commando?

It can heal, nuke, put dots, and probably “tank”… what is a commando? Is a off-tank? is a hibrid class?

All of the multi-staged bonus quest ends with a boss fight. at least the reward is nice.

4845

I can tell you that my Commando can’t tank for longer than my damage reduction shield lasts (6 seconds?). It’s a DPS or healing class.

4846

Yeah, Vanguards get a tanking stance (+armor, 5% reduced damage, and higher chance of triggering your shield, along with more thread), which Commandos do not have access to.

I heard there are Tieman droids on Coruscant, can’t wait.

I think I’ve got this right (using Republic ACs, but it should be the same for the Sith):

Vanguard: Tank or DPS
Commando: Healer or DPS
Jedi Guardian: Tank or DPS
Jedi Sentinel: DPS
Jedi Shadow: Tank or DPS
Jedi Sage: Healer or DPS
Scoundrel: Healer or DPS
Gunslinger: DPS

I think what he’s saying is that they need to increase the spawn rate of the quest bosses. Currently you have to sit around waiting way too long for one to spawn if another player happened to kill the boss before you arrived.

4850

Yep, your list is correct MarchHare.

4851

Sorry, yes, that should read “respawn by 50%” or some such.

4852

So are you guys that have done multiple alts ready to admit that you skip through the cutscenes you’ve already done?

4853

I don’t have any alts yet, but are you referring to cutscenes or conversations?

4854

Cutscenes, yes. Conversations not, as different characters choose different options to match their alignment.

If by cutscenes you mean the repeated animated videos that play during area transitions (like docking with the fleet or landing on a planet, for example), then I’m already skipping those on my first character after watching them at least once.

I don’t skip any of the conversations, though, and I doubt I will even on any alts I play.

4856

Why “ready to admit?” I mean, other than your ongoing weirdly passive-aggressive attitude towards the game and the people enjoying it?

Anyway, sure, I’m “ready to admit” I frequently skip through dialogues I already did in beta. How many Hail Marys should I do in penance?

4857

I was wondering at the way the question was asked too. I certainly don’t feel sheepish about enjoying the storylines and conversations.

I mean like the second time you take a trooper through 1-10 and they are all the same.

I certainly didn’t mean to be passive about it.

I just get sick of people spouting about how great the conversation scenes are and how much they add to the game when in reality, they get old fast. As more people are playing and grouping, we’ve found, as expected, it’s a big detraction from being group friendly. We’re already looking toward the next mmo in the hopes that it’s more multiplayer.

Speak for yourself. In my grouping experience so far, players have been very patient and watched as the conversations played out. Will that change when we’re all playing our third or fourth alt through the same quests? Sure, it probably will, but I skipped through most of the dialogue during my second time playing through Dragon Age and Mass Effect too. I don’t go around complaining about how fully-voiced conversations in those games ruined everything, though.

If you don’t like it, that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion. Most of us in this thread genuinely do enjoy the conversations, and I’m not sure what your agenda is trying to convince us that we’re all wrong for some reason.

How exactly do you mean more multiplayer? I’ve had a lot more fun grouping in this game than I ever would in WoW, or other recent MMO’s. Considering the entire group can join the conversation, and you all get a chance at speaking. I’d say that’s more interaction than WoW ever gave for group quests.

Islobberon wants to start a quest. Do you want to start this quest to? (yes or no)

And god forbid you get exp and credit boosts for actually being in a group.
