Echoed on the RB/Paly build, grabbed it from Taugrim's site myself. Although Im on a PvE server and don't really have to worry about random PvP like he does, I find it great in both questing and PvP - switched from champ to that at 13 and have been leading warfront damage/KB boards ever since...

Yeah, this is def. the closest analogue we have from other games. However, you've noted many of the limitations there, and gear was the other one. Significantly different stats for each role.

Ok, I can see where you're coming from here. I think that we've seen a shift away from passively achievable milestones (eg: level 15 gets rez) towards active accomplishments (eg: defeat boss X without getting hit by ability z), as started by XBLA, then formalized in the MMO arena by WAR's Tome...

Perhaps instead of insisting that a developer creating their archetypes to fit your conceptions, you modify your conceptions to fit the world they designed? Honestly, they sould have just called the various archetypes "Cloth" "Chain" "Plate" "Leather", since the most distinguishing factor...

Why shouldnt they? This really boggles the mind here, what is preventing a man wearing heavy chain with a shield and mace, blessed by the gods with wards and other methods of avoiding hits from being the one standing toe to toe with the big bad monsters? What's preventing a nimble rogue who is a...

One thing I love about this game is when an invasion hits, you suddenly see people appearing out of the woodwork for the zone you're in. I was grabbing achievements in Moonshade Highlands, a 35-40ish area and saw almost nobody while I was riding around. Large scale invasion popped up and there...

Been lurking for a while, just wanted to add a couple observations on crafted items. The Armorcrafter in my guild has some nice low 30s blue gear that remained competative until I got some rewards from some 40+ quests in Droughtlands. Critical to remember is the ability for crafters to add stats...

I think it might have also been an attempt towards a "realistic" inventory system, in that instead of toting around an entire armory worth of weapons in your portable black hole, all the extras are kept within the Normandy's locker for selection prior to a mission. Currently need to get the...

Regarding skills: if you look at the highest teir of your starting skills, it shows the options you have once you buy that tier to morph it into an advanced form. It appears to have two separate choices for each of the skills, for instance, my soldier can morph his ammo skills into either one...
