    I am putting my foot down right now. No longer will I support this game if it has just the usual eight classes. You can go ahead and tell me "O Rosie you dony know dude, you havent even played the game yet" but no. I hate the whole eight class deal with MMO's now adays. Just like someone posted above, you just have the usual healer, tank, ranged, etc. cookie cutter classes.  You can have a great story and great combat but without options where are you? The great thing about EQ  was that you had tons of choices and every class was unique along with every race. Soon I bet your going to hear there is only four races in the game. Then you will hear things like "Well the graphics are soo good that its ok to have only four races. Bioware is a great company I will give them that snd I loved their previous games. I on the other hand will not support a game that wants to go ahead and do everything by the book and change nothing to the MMO Formula besides adding more story (Which I am sure means letting me make less of my own story), and making lightsabers "stick together" in combat.

    O' Rosie. . .you don't know dude.

    On that note, I agree with you but we will never see a huge change in MMOs by a large company.  Our only hope lies in the hands of an Indie company out there somewhere. 

    It's a Jeep thing. . .

    Ok, i wont use the, "wait till the game comes out" spiel. But I will say, dont get so worked up about it then. It will allow you to live longer and you wont have to worry about getting pissed about things you cant control. In other words get over it. Maybe instead of posting your comments here, maybe you should go to the swtor.com and post your comments there. It does seem that alot of the devs are listening to their fans and seem to taking their "fans" opinions. If you want to try to make a difference then go there. If not then you should .

    People people don't worry. I'm sure all the classes are going to be "iconic" and "Star Warsie".

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    How about you stop trying to avoid the real issue here and stop telling me where I need to go specifically if want to discuss a game. This is a forum for The Old Republic Online, and this is in fact a post about the eight classes that are going to be in the game. So are you saying no one should ever discuss anything in a place thats not under your view of the "Right place"? Have fun trying to argue the point that your trying to be a forum Nazi.

    i have to apologize, for coming off as brash. I was merely attempting to have you post your complaint somewhere where it would do some good.

    Now, I actually agreed with you and thought that they are going to have to bring something more to the classes to make this game more interesting. I should have wrote that in my previous post. But I thought your post would do more good on a forum where the SWTOR Devs would be able to see it. If I’m wrong for suggesting that you should take your complaint to the ones that are making the game, then I must be crazy. Bioware has proven that they listen to their Fan Base. The first indication should have been when they changed the size of the lightsabers once a couple “Fanboys” took notice of it. Not only did they change it, but they made a joke about it during Halloween. Look, I am not getting on you for complaining, I’m trying to get people to express there opinions in the LOGICAL area where it is going to make a difference. Cause, your intention might have been good but you can make it better by going to the right place and posting it. If they are going to make this game a great game, they are going to need insight from the people that have experienced other MMO’s. Assuming that was you..... Then maybe posting this somewhere that will do some more good than, hit a lot of people that just see it as complaining, would be a lot more worth it. Don’t ya think? In this particular case, a wise man told me  “Closed mouths don’t get fed.”

    thats not a concern, the concern is diversity in character development.

     

    would you say WoW has a alot of diversity? i think not.

     

    8 class's in wow.

    8 class's in TOR.

     

    in TOR, there going for jedi being 1 class with 3 variations, supposedly, guardian, sentinal, consar or whatever there called.

     

    how is that different then a mage class with frost tree, fire tree, arcrane tree.

     

    thats the question.

     

    the mmo market as of late has been extremely lacking in diversity during character development.

    whats gonna seperate my jedi who took the path of guardian from another jedi who took the path of guardian?

     

    in story, there are a ton of things, different powers, specialty in lightsaber technique......

    how is this gonna play out and fit along to story?

     

    cause the last thing that is star warsie... is developing a guardian that is nearly the exact same as other people developing guardians.

    I did take your advice though and go on the offical forums and engaged in a number of threads with everyone. I am hoping the developers are listening and watching.
