Talain Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Actually, while the queue system seems fine, and in fact I do like it, I'd prefer a fallout style system. That would kick buttock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Fallout's system (the S.P.E.C.I.A.L system and the old turnbased mode) is a killer in a singleplayer game. It gets daunting in a multiplayer game (Tactics, anyone?), and would be horrible in a MMORPG. Imagine waiting for 3 hours until everyone on the servar has made their move! Thats why combat has to be in real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talain Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 I know. I can dream, though, can't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 The way I understand it is SWG will have a cross between the two, like you cue up your moves in advance and hten they are executed in real time. May be awkward, but may be really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Yes, it might require more tactics than the "choose a target, press F5 and then wait until one combatant is dead", as many other MMORPG systems turn out. Can't wait for more substantial info in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 But how does this work when I have my kick ass shoot 850 blastershots in 1 minute uberblaster trying to shoot down a speeder that just stole my cargo? I mean i just cant yell, "He you there!" Stop right there so we can fight farely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JekRendar Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Blasters have unlimited range, so....JUST SHOOT!! Of course, you might end up shooting up your speeder and have to by a new one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 blah, i'd rather blast my own speeder to smithereens then let some1 else have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hmm... somehow, I doubt blasters will have unlimited range in SWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 But a blaster is NOT a laser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talain Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Blasters are particle beams, buddy. They peter out. SHIPS use lasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arallu Bokatur Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I did not realize the game was going to be a turn based combat system. I know many of my friends don't play online games like DAOC/UO because of regular modems. In EQ as well. I personally use a cable modem I hope what ever combat system they use is fluid.

gavor Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 I read a good description of how combat works here. Seems quite reasonable. Hope this clears things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 How old are you? How old am I?!? Well, I'm old enough to know that blasters arn't lasers, thus they are called blaster weapons, not laser weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 22, 2002 Author Share Posted May 22, 2002 hmmm, if it was a laser... I'd reinforce my hull plating with a mirror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
