The Punisher Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 Ahhh, so many questions, where to start.... First of all, i want to know how many character slots we get. I know we only get one FS if we're lucky, but how many 'normal' slots do we get per account?
Jackrabbit Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 One character per server, spread out over 10 servers (so 10 characters). On a side note I'd just like to say it's good to see a fellow Punisher fan. I grew up reading punisher comics, and I have the Dulf Lundren (sp?) movie .
The Punisher Posted April 28, 2003 Author Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah, Punisher does rock. Anyway, on with the questions: Does anyone know about what the skill cap will be? This is key in planing out my character(s). Also, will Endor be an option as a starting point? I wanna see Ewoks!!!!
Jackrabbit Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 They haven't told us the skill cap yet, but they've said we will be able to master 3.5 different professions. I expect to get the skills and skill cap sometime in May, when the NDA drops (which isn't that far away now.) And here are the starting locations. No Endor . Bestine, Tatooine Mos Eisley, Tatooine Mos Espa, Tatooine Mos Entha, Tatooine Theed, Naboo Kadaara, Naboo Keren, Naboo Moenia, Naboo Tyrena, Corellia Doaba Guerfel, Corellia Kor Vella, Corellia Coronet, Corellia Narmle, Rori Restuss, Rori Dearic, Talus Nashal, Talus
setsuko Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 First, no, Endor is not available at start. It is a restricted area, and not meant to be easily reached. Second, there is a skill cap. You can't master more than around 3.5 professions at the same time. However, there is no need to master a profession (unless you need it to reach an elite profession which branches from it), so you can dabble in a lot more professions if you want. Also, you can sacrifice skills you've learnt to be able to learn new ones, if you want to change your characters focus. So don't worry about the planning too much, if it turns out totally wrong, you don't need to scrap your character.
UnfrozenCaveman Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 I was never a big punisher fan. Don't know why, I just didn't really care for him. I was kind of more into the likes of X-Men and Spidey.
The Punisher Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 Ok, so lets say for the sake of argument that the skill cap is 3.5 professions. I've read a lot about professions, but still do not know exactly what they are. Is a profession the Artisan, Scout, Marksman etc. categories, or are they the individual columns of the skill trees?
Jackrabbit Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 Your skills make up your profession. The individual skill trees are there just so you know what skills you have to get to become a Marksman, Scout, etc. For example, I want to be a Mercenary. I'm going to grab skills for Ranged, Melee, Weaponsmith, Piloting, Smuggling, etc, and added together my profession (self titled probably) will be Mercenary. When they say you can master 3.5 Professions, what they're really saying is you can get enough SP to master 3.5 professions. Instead you could learn a little bit about 6 of them. They're just saying 3.5 professions because they don't want to give away the exact amount of SP we'll be getting.
setsuko Posted April 30, 2003 Posted April 30, 2003 A profession is made out of four branches of skills. The starting professions (marksman, scout, artisan etc) doesn't require anything, while the elite professions (armoursmith, carbineer, doctor) require you to either master a profession (get all skills from all branches), master one or more branches of the profession, master two professions, or mastering branches from two or more professions. After this post, I don't want to type 'profession' ever again!
