Абе, аз като ви казвам, че ми изглеждаше дървена...

I worked on Shadowbane - it had limited friendly fire. Of particular note, the Fury class was designed to have more powerful AoEs than any other class, but have this balanced out by having them hit everyone in the group. The end result was that Furies ended up being shunned by groups and guilds because unless they were played by the hands of a maestro, they were usually more of a liability than a benefit. Unsurprisingly, they were our least popular class.

We don't have friendly fire in The Old Republic for a simple reason: a lot of players are, well... idiots. I don't mean you, of course, dear reader, I mean those OTHER players. You know who I'm talking about.

A common mistake in MMO design is to pursue worlds and land masses that are realistically' big. I see this a lot in the press releases and demos of other MMOs, usually indie MMOs trying to make a name for themselves somehow. This is not the design philosophy that we're following.

What makes a quality gameplay experience is not how much time you spend running through dead space or randomly generated noise, but the density of good experiences. This includes the density not just of quality worldbuilding points of interest and well-crafted quest content, but also in an MMO, the density of player population. MMOs are interesting largely because other people are there. Make your worlds too large and diffuse, and the population is too spread out, and you feel lonely in your MMO an irony that proves inescapable over time.

Size in MMOs is incredibly deceiving. WoW has a world that feels huge, but in actuality you can run from the northern tip of Azeroth to the southern tip in about 45 minutes whereas in real life I could barely get to the supermarket in that timeframe. Similarly, if you had a fully 3D rotateable camera in the original Ultima Online, you can see the walls of Trinsic from the southern entrance of Britain I know this because I know a player did so. This is not to knock these two games they are great games with great virtual worlds that are sized appropriately for their gameplay.

Our worlds are big plenty big but we didn't use some notion of how big Alderaan really is to make that determination. We instead built a world big enough to feel expansive, but still not so large that we couldn't ensure that all of the content was handcrafted up to a BioWare level of quality. There's not as much random empty space for the explorers as some of you seem to be hoping for, but they're still plenty big, and we take great strides to ensure that the worldbuilding teams fill the worlds with secrets for our explorers to find.

And trust me when I say you can still get plenty lost in Alderaan.

Аджеба, какво стана, ще правим ли гилдия? Решавайте бързо, щото почти всички вече се регистрираха.

Но дървена в сравнение с какво? Само не казвай WoW. Защото хората в момента се изцепват, че и графиката на WoW е по-добра от TOR.

Не, не бива.

От бойната система очаквах да е бърза и зрелищна, ако движенията наистина са толкова бавни, няма да си направя труда дори да я пробвам на trial... Ебаси, сякаш съм се върнал десет години назад във времето, когато се "дуелирахме" с пръчки пред блока.

Сита си простира меча напред, джедая послушно го удря, после ролите се сменят и лорда позволява на рицаря да парира... Сякаш гледам как актьори репетират за дуел с шпаги в посредствена постановка.

Боят при wow определено е по-интересен, поне за гледане.

Ъъъъ, sure, 'la, whatever ya say

-.-'

Обаче WoW е супер екшън и много як боя, тъй ли ?

Защо анимациите на персонажите са толкова сковани и лимитирани? Все едно гледам игра от 2001 Толкова много пари вложиха в тази игра и накрая излезе, че наели младши аниматор да им прави In-Game Animations. После пак в последната минута ще се оплакваме "ама нямахме време и средства"....
