* Its a game thats attempting to do something different unlike your other 1001 other MMORPG's out there (swords & sorcery or spaceships).
* The dev's actually listen to our feedback and have implemented changes according to testing done by the playerbase.
* You don't have to spend hundreds of hours ingame to get into it (ie have no life).
* The PVP end of it (@ level 80) is a lot of fun and very fast moving.
* You don't need to be in a guild to stand a chance at levelling or to take on bosses.
* No queues for bosses.
* Friendly tight-knit community and great helpful dev team that appear regularily on forums.
* FAST PACED EXPLOSIVE ACTION (obviously depending on the speed of your chassis)!
MAny players have come from EVE and WOW and have not turned back after getting into the game.
Update 3 is just around the corner and is currently being playtested on the Public test Server by playerbase.
sOME PLayers who took a break are now returning after seeing the changes being implemented.

Obviously theres still more to come from this game as its still relatively new compared to some others.
But I'm willing to support this great game and be involved in the changes happening to it NOW.

COntrols are WASD with a macro system aswell and ability to setup keyboard macro triggers.
I have heard some who use a steering wheel to play.
TArgetting is Auto by default (turretweapon only). This can be turned off in control menu.
SO selecting your targets is either the last to shoot at you is auto targetted, or you can click on them or you can hit tab to toggle between targets within range.

Apply lemon juice and candle flame here to reveal secret message.
There are PVE missions to get xp aswell as PVE mobs to grind.
Once you hit around 70'ish, you can start PVP'ing on the endgame map Ground Zero.
You can enter earlier, but you won't last long unless you are running around with a bunch of lvl 80 players.
Good fun!

they nerfed humans to the point nobody plays them anymore. about half the playerbase quit.
the only tool these devs know how to use is a nerf bat. no wait a minute, it's more of a nerf jackhammer.
they focus on boring korean grindy content and ignore the ungodly lag that has plauged the game since beta.
the game had promise, but even soe can handle things better.
On top of this, there were exploitable loopholes that a few chose to abuse dutring gameplay. Frankly, you brought the nerfbat down on yourselves.
I know some very honourable HUman players who didn't use the skill exploits, and guess what? They're still playing the game.

I'm downloading the client now...
You don't have to buy the client or have bought it before.
I'll post my thoughts on the game in the next ..um...14 days.
Truly amazed at the speed of download and installation... Took no more than 30 minutes. However now i'm in the "patching phase" and the second "patch" is going to take almost an hour. I hope the second patch is the last patch.
We should try Auto Assault because it was a fast download?
Lol, when you acutally play the game then make a topic on why we should try AA.

Absolutely not... someone on this thread mentioned a 4 hour download and its subsequent corruption. I didn't make a "topic" I'm responding to a topic.however i had the good sense to read reviews and aside the usual teething problems of a new game, most of the reviews said the game had one major structural flaw: it was mostly soloable (is that a neologism?), to the point of it being a massively single player game
which put me right off, since what is the point of paying a monthly fee to play a single player game?
so i went for DDO, which when i played it was pretty much unsoloable, had a blast do dungeons with other people, then realised it was a ripoff, and quit
EDIT: how do i get paragraph spaces?

HAving read some of the appaling reviews on this game, I know and I have been playing this game for 6 months.
The endgame is PVP.
YEs it is mainly soloable upto the endgame,apart from a few instances where you will need to group.
The endgame requires some serious teamwork and group speccing.
learning the strengths of your character and how to play in groups is something that can be done before you hit the endgame.
AS to wether you group or not is up to you as grouping is not forced.
But tbh, its far too repetitive to level an alt solo more than once.
The first time maybe, then the second time you learn that its more fun to get in a clannie and level an alt with a clannie.

we the backseat drivers brought nothing down on our selves...no....wait a minute... we bought the game! we were there since close beta supporting nd/nc. we stayed through no content additions, bugs, ungodly lag, etc. the attitude that humans are responsible
for the imbalance is childish. we do not make the game and the real fault lies with nc soft for re-coding for a new gfx engine after 2 years in development, and then rushing it out. all nd did was beat humans down to force players to join other factions.
and now they have removed +to skills items so you have to farm tokens for hundreds of hours or do boring korean grindy "epic"
quests to remain playable in pvp. the subs are slipping and the fact that a player has to pimp the game for them shows what they think
about thier own game. they know it is headed for the trash bin.

So let me get this straight.You supported the game from the start, played thru the game despite all the exploits and broken skills ,missions whatnot etc and then decide to leave when the devs are finally trying out a faction balancing solution (which is NOT even on the Live server yet) ??
You're not even gonna hang around and help test this new balance out despite being here from the start?
Sorry, but that says it all.
Sorry all your clan members left.
Maybe they switched sides to the next currently 'uber' faction?
Besides the fact that the removal of +skill items is NOT yet definite (its not even on the Public Test Server yet), what you are saying is misleading and holds no ground.
Yes you need to collect tokens from PVP kills to get the 'set' items. Yes this takes time.
No you don't need these to be able to PVP although having 'set' items will enhance your character somewhat.
With or without set items, if you don't learn to adapt to the changes and use your skills you will not be a very good pvp'er.
There is no evidence of subs slipping, in fact there are signs to the contrary.
Noone asked me to come here.
I am just another player and supporter (fanboi if ya like) of a game that I like.
I'm here to balance out the biased opinions that bitter players like yourself (who leave when their toys get thrown out of the nursery window) come here to post .
I have also been in the game since just before open Beta started.
I have always played an Agent who's skills have been balanced out over time.
My faction is about to get hit with another 'balance' but I am not going anywhere and neither are the majority of players who have been here a while that learnt to adapt.
It does say on the game box something about the game system being open to changes over time.
Sure, how far can a game go with changes before the players decide its too much. I don't know tbh.
But I feel we are in the final stages of balancing the factions and its a shame you have decided to duck out at this point.
So seeming as you have officially left the game, i guess any other comments you may make in the future regarding Auto Assault will be just as biased and non factual as is the tradition of bitter game leavers.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

yes i left...and you have the same tone as those poor fools who just can't let go of swg after the devs showed thier incompetence and
lack of understanding of how to build a fanbase. were humans overpowered? yes i freely admit the game was broke at launch. the
"changes" to your class that you speak of are just another sign of a incomplete game. i'm shure there were leet uber kiddies exploiting
on the human side, but there were plenty of meks doing it too. however robing one faction of any useful skills doest not balance bring.
it is a shame that the nerf bat is seen to be easier and cheaper than good coding. this game had the potential to be the next big game.
the real sad part of this drama is the attitude of the meks and muties. they are glad half the humans quit the game and the other half went to another faction! to be honest though i don't miss how the devs allowed meks and muties to make alts in the human side and tell us stuff like "update 3 is coming! you humans will get what you have coming!" easily the worst
community of any game. i have never seen players blame other players for lazy coding. and i am a swg vet!
you see, net devil simply cannot "bring it" as far as content is concerned. this man can:

he is making a new game and he is the king of content and immersion. we at backseatdrivers await the word of his game.
A bit daft to criticise something thats NOT finished I think.
Its a work in progress and looking good so far.

"It is the nature of herds that they flock to where there are more of the same not more quality."
I met Raph at the second SWG Fanfest. We traded a nod during one of the forums where he said they were bringing out something new and amazing. Turned out it was the NGE, where he alienated all his supporters and ended up leaving SWG 5 months after he screwed it all up. Don't put all your faith in his "design" skills.
-Sean
raph was lead on swg but removed from any involvment in the game 2 months after launch so it is highly unlikely you met him at a fanfest.

I played AA for about 2 months. It really is a FUN game, controls and very nice and easy to pick up. The crafting is pretty interesting as well. Only reason i quit is because i couldnt afford 2 monthly fees, and i couldnt quit FFXI for AA.
