Star Wars Galaxies Preview

I wanna be a smuggler\hairdresser.
Hide shit in Princess Lea's stupid curls :)

p2p is not for me.

The problem with choosing professions in eq was you couldn't level up doing them. You had to kill mosters to get lvls. Hopefully this will be changed in swg

In my opninion they really need to spend a BIG LOT of time and ressources on balancing stuff, this game is huge and with all the skills, planets, races, desire to make the game for both casual and hardcore player and let's not forget the living economy, if they don't balance all this finely the game is gonna be disapointing... atleast for me. I hate when things (abilities, equipments) are too fuckin hard and long to get, but what I hate even more is when they are too easy to get.

Anyway, only time can tell if they can balance it right and [dork talk] it's probably be as hard to balance than the Force itself [/dork talk].

Skill based systems suck. They always suck. In a skill based system there are always just a few "best combinations", and over time your playerbase figures them out and then thats what everybody plays.

For examples look at Ultima Online, and Asherons Call. Both skill based system that has 40% of the player base as tank/mages while the other 40% are mage/tanks. (the other 20% of the population clueless and perpetually low level)

Seen it happen on tons of Pen and Paper RPGs and dozens of MUDs. Purely skill based is for the birds.

Now I'm not saying this wont still be a good game, I'm sure it will, it's just not going to provide the variety and character depth that a class based game will have. EQ for example, where every class is different from the next and they all have different playstyles and skills and have to be learned and mastered. Thats replayability and depth through a class based system, the kind of replayability and depth that is hard to come by in a skill based system. Good luck with this one.

Of course I still think EQ sucks because of all the damned downtime and tedium, but their class and skill system is excellent.

Lots of enthusiasm about this game eh? Nearly 4 hr since it was posted and only 18 messages thusfar!

Anyway, I'm going to get this game I think, I just want to be a cook, the best cook in all of Jawa-dom. I'll fry up leeches, snails and those nasty things Jabba the Hut was eating in RotJ with garlic and onion. Hell, I'll make a frittata out of em!

No restrictions? Impossible! I seriously doubt they're going to let me be a gay prostitute. Verant just isn't like that.

I want to be a Jawa or Ewok jedi :)

OYSTER FARMERS? Anyone else think that this was transcribed badly? As far as I know, moisture farmers would make a lot more sense, especially since a lot of Tatooine-based stuff has been mentioned.

This thing is going to be HUGE if they pull it off.

Yum.. SW Galaxies...

fucking losers

Why must we wait so long for this to come out?! Late 2002? That's so far away! :(

I want to be a jawa that assrapes a wookie. May I do that??? No restrictions.........heh.
ALL LIES!

I wonder if someone has already made a nude patch for natalie portman's character.

Respect the cock! Tame the cunt! Tame it!

I WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE SKILLS IN BASKETWEAVING, AND I WILL WORK MY WAY TO THE RIGHT HAND BASKETWEAVER OF THE EMPEROR!

I'd like to be a fisherman with special powers that allow me to pick up chicks by balancing fish on my member.

first goat post

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!
