• • I hope this game doesnt turn out to be another level based game!

  • What the hell are you talking about?! It IS like that.

     Why do you bash a game when you know nothing about it and won't listen to those that actually know something about it?

    Just try the old one damnit...

  • Ehh, to the definitive end...?   In JGC you only got "better" equipment till level 20 or so, there on it was just more options regarding equipment and ships... And it'l be somewhat the same in JGE.

    And even though it is "better" equipment/ships above level ~20, some sometimes still choose to use the early ships, because they perhaps have an edge in mass that the later ships lack...

  • I don't really get what you're all arguing about. JG and JGE will both be skill based -you get better by actually being better at controling your ship, outmaneuvering your opponent, aiming etc..

    There are however levels in the game, but they serve more for there to be some kind progress in what you're doing.The levels don't actually grant you any extra powers, only, in the start, access to better equipment, after that it's mostly just different styles of battle e.g. medium -heavy fighters, but not exactly better -you get better by training.

  • Why i thought it was crap, was because they had just created a normal MMO, with wizards, warriors etc, just with cars. So stupid. The only difference was actually that you could drive while doing your spells.

     

    I early in beta suggested that they should make the skills more fitting to a CAR combat game, with skills that augmented your car some ways and skills for combat like making ramming damage higher, add armor, add speed etc...

    And all the stupid things you could put on your car. Why not have things that actually made sense, like the engines actually makes your car go FASTER(!) things like that...

     

    Anyways, i don't draw parallels from that to my thoughts of JGE. This time they actually have a great game,  which they're making prettier, more accessible and add a nice host of additions. Additionally, they know what makes JG great, and know what is needed to make it reach a bigger audience, atleast it seems so.

  • Except that they don't need walking avatars as the space combat is actually *fun*. You control your vehicle with a joystick or keyboard/mouse(or a mix). With joystick it's mostly like the wingcommander games, with a twist of realism.

    Of couse everybody always want(or ask) for actual avatars, and it could be cool, but this game is about space fighter combat. It does what they want and it does it great, and that is how it will stand out in the crowd.
