I didn't notice anything in the forums about this recently, but bioware's new Star Wars MMO is slated to be released sometime this year in 2011.

Well yeah the color blind issue, like in WoW, Blizzard has ini file settings to change how the game displays colors for the different types of color blindness.
Thing about DBM is that if you are a progression guild, like mine, DBM does not even work properly for hardmodes because top guilds do not submit their combat logs until weeks after stuff has been cleared. So you do it the old fashion way, look through combat log, figure out visual cues, and boss emotes. But WoW is not hard. It really comes down to paying attention, understanding the fight, execute the strategy. Stable connection is a plus too. I wonder why no one mentions boss videos on youtube as to ruining WoW raiding? How do you tune a boss that the majority of raiders are going to just watch a video on how to beat? A good portion of in my guild use default. I think more than one would think does. A lot of justification for it is that when you pushing new content you don't want stuff breaking in the middle of raids. Or even worrying about updating stuff because it's broken. Me, I just change the look and move stuff out the way to the sides. I keep a clean UI. I don't even need an ability bar because I have the bindings to my abilities memorized. So I keep that out the way and reduce the size. Another weird thing in SWTOR is when you hold CTRL as if you were using it as a modifier you cannot move. It's because they have CTRL + A bound that can't be unbound currently in the preferences. CTRL + A is a non-functioning Ambiance toggle setting. Me, people in my guild, and a lot of folks on the forums bind their Push-to-talk to CTRL. Freakin annoying at first. Can't DPS or move while talking. I know this will be changed eventually. None of the other modifiers like Shift and Alt work that way. Who else loves datacrons? Man I love "gamey" stuff in MMORPGs. That's my problem with a lot of MMOs is they don't feel like games to me, but chat rooms with graphics. DC Universe Online added "gamey" stuff with it's challenge mission. Platforming and environmental puzzles in an MMORPG? Great stuff. Even if you have a guide on their location, it still can be challenging to get them. Really good design imo. Though kinda bad design that they are mandatory for endgame. Also, annoying if you roll alts I can imagine. Some of them are a real pain in the ass. -------------------- |
