Reflecting on SWTOR and XIV

[Abriael]

Yep.. soooo.. your just gonna keep posting right?

I'm sure you'd like me to stop. Everyone dislikes when someone demolishes his argument. But thanks for demonstrating that you can't counter what I say.

Ah, the little petty art of the personal attack

Which is something you do well.

One of the big things I think XIV has in favor of WoW and SWTOR is that you can be any class. (actually several types of the same class now with jobs.) This gives you more attachment to your character identity something SE seems to feel strong about. I love this feature.

I actually don't really mind the 1 class per character in other MMOs. Mainly cause I like making different characters let them be different races and genders. To me it was more fun playing different races and looking characters rather then the same one all the time. Guess its just a preference thing.

Pretty much, especially since more MMOs (asian ones at least) are adapting the multiple class per character model now, though still kinda limited.

I've heard you know that sometimes on the internet people disagree with one another and that it's ok to do so. Your free to believe what you will man and I got no malice against you. Just be alright dude and your true to your ideas so thats good too.

Yea.. maybe we can get a way to alter ourselves somewhat.. currently there is gear to do so. And you know I'm also thinking that when you want to change your role for a class/job not only do you have the job stone to change but you modify your gear as well.. it's all very flexible but it takes time investment to get all the situational gear accumulated.

I'm sure. The problem is that what constitutes gameplay mechanics and what is just content isn't really a matter of opinion.

A cutscene is content. The fact that you can influence the outcome of the cutscene by selecting a dialogue options (or by pressing the right key in a quicktime event, or by having built up points towards a certain outcome in previous choices, or in the main ways you could do such a thing) is a mechanic.

You've said that like three of four times

Yep, because you don't seem to understand it, so I'm trying harder to explain, for the sake of education.

I don't think it's really insightful enough or complex to require such repetition.. do you?
