SWG wprth gettin?

[Slug]

gruf?

 

[Faeldawn]

Depends.

Getting it imported can be a hassle and works out pretty expensive for a game.

You'll either love it or hate it, best bet is to download the free 7-day trial from the website and find out for yourself.

Oh, worth is spelt with an o, not a p btw

Yep if FPS games are your bread and butter it may not appeal to you ( thats what planetside is for ) if you like RPG games then you most likely will like SWG, im much more a fantasy then a sci-fi gamer.. but i still like SWG and i can see it getting better and better.

(aslong as they dont nerf anymore of my overpowered styles /stabs SOE )

 

[oblivion_6]

aye im like ebonn im much for a fantasy freak for all that gemmel/feist style stuff

but even i am starting to love SWG its got so many things you can do in it and you dont have to spend your days just farming constantly as you can get xp doing practically anything

thing i like is im a scout/artisan/marksman

this means i can kill things pretty well then harvest bones n stuff from their corpses and use this to build camps that i can then rest in with others

its defo got a lot of content in it

my only downside is the 1 slot per server

I've been looking all over their site, but couldn't find anywhere to get hold of a trial.

Can you point me in the right direction, as I'd love to try the game before I order

Is this a pvp game or?

I was looking over some boards and some class decriptions and they all look like "farmers" or smuglers or something, professions/skills you can make money from not keel people with.

Just wondering

 

[Faeldawn]

Crap, looks like they have discontinued it, it was splashed on the SWG homepage, but now seems to have been removed

PvP is very prolific and there are several ways to PvP.

1- Go to Battlegrounds and fight there

2- Anywhere in the game at any time "overt" faction members may engage in combat. This usually leads to more than a few cantina firefights.

3- Duelling is another way to PvP.


The game has all sorts of different classes, but generally speking they are divided into crafters and fighters with a few notable exceptions.

Good PvP classes include-

Brawler, Teras Kasi Expert (sp?), Marksman, Creature Handlers, Pistoleers, Bounty Hunters, Riflemen, Pikemen, Swordsmen, Fencer, Carbineer, Commando, Squad Leader and smuggler.

So you see, there are more than a few PvP classes

Also you can get faction perks like pet stormtroopers, rebel troops and AT-ST's as well as battlefield structures.

Didnt want to group smugglers in with combat classes, they are one of the "notable exceptions" i mentioned earlier as they are a mixture of crafter and combat, the guy who started the thread didnt seem interested in the crafting side of things so i left them out.

Smugglers do have some really cool combat moves, but i dont really think they are worth playing JUST for their combat skills alone, they are much more than that.

I have the upmost respect for smugglers as a combat class, please dont think i believe otherwise, but i just feel that if you dont like crafting smuggler really isnt the right profession for you (The Slug that is).

Anyway, edited my former post just for you

No, apparantly the top 3 big things they are working on/bringing out next are player citys-creature mounts-player vehicles in that order, no eta as of yet afaik.

 

[Blazor Meneth]

I'll start a smuggler next week when I get my ex. Smuggler seems fun also some kind of sniper would be fun to test

Smuggler must be fun when we will be able to smuggle, when ships come etc, now they ain't smuggling anything aye ?

//Edit

Btw what race is best for smuggler, ppl say all are good but someone must have a little advantage over the other if you want to play smuggler.
And like which profession do I need to choose to be albe to become a smuggler?

hehe

Blazor - Smugglers need Basic skills from the Brawler (Unarmed) and Marksman (pistol) skill pools.
However, a lot of players believe that its best to start out as an artisan no matter what profession you wish to persue as artisans upon starting get 2 surveying devices and a crafting tool which are really handy when yer just starting out.

As for races, Ebonn would know better than I

 

[oblivion_6]

artisan is a good profession to start out in

i started of with artisan then got scout for hides and making camps and thigns and then marksman for killing things

you can drop skills if you dont like them etc so the game is pretty relaxed that way

like just now i notice that my scout skills move faster than my crafting which might make me decide to ditch artisan eventually

 

[JKLLN]

Obli... I'm ordering SWG soon, what server are you on?

If we can make guilds or something alike, shouldn't we set up a new PDC?

 

[oblivion_6]

wooo now that would be cool

well im mainly on the Lowca server as that seems to be one of the more popular EU/UK servers

give me a shout when u come in m8 and ill show u how cool the game really is

its a welcome break from the ol daoc

 

[Faeldawn]

Hehe, DaoC *shudders*

 

[oblivion_6]
