Am I seeing things or does that chart says Rangers can't use laser cannons? Theres a "X" right next to it.

Edit: Thanks rizen and ether for the excellent videos.

This topic got derailed kinda fast.
Are we back on the original topic yet, or are we still discussing FF avatars? This topic was page 5 like 2 hours ago.

That reminds me of the WoW columns in somethingawful.com

I actually met my fiancee in a MMORPG about 2 years ago. I wasn't playing that particular game just to find a girlfriend... I found someone who I enjoyed spending time with, we became friends, then...

Are there any ranger videos with Laser Cannons in action out there? I've spotted a few Ranger videos but they only showed rifles/twin handguns/mechguns/combos.

I remember that post.

The main difference is that you can't play a ranger in PSU like you did in PSO... shooting everything from a safe distance until they die. Rangers are now played like a...

Some classes are better at close-ranged combat, others must stay a little behind or they risk getting hit/killed by small area attacks, or they are simply more effective at range (Rangers with...

66% and 100% doesn't seem too big of a difference, until you realize that the people actually killing are getting 50% more exp than party members who are playing full support and quickly falling...

I really don't know why they are keeping that distribution system, it is completely broken. Rewarding killing blows instead of splitting the XP evenly among the group only encourages player griefing...

I have a small question that was probably already answered, but I can't seem to find it.

You seem to forget that the PSO/PSU series are not meant for the gamers with too much free time in their hands. There will be new content, but you can be SURE that they will come at a slower pace...

Having both a 60 Paladin and a 60 Warrior I can tell you that I alt-tab out of the game a lot when soloing, even with my warrior. I feel like a brainless bot sometimes.

About having to pay...

I have the controller 2, the wireless version, and I like it. The D-pad sure feels different to the touch but I am not bothered by it.

I always played PSO with the analog stick anyway.

I use a Logitech gamepad (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/BR/EN,CRID=2225,CONTENTID=9069) and so far I have no complaints. Pretty good controller all around for PSOBB.

Those were my exact thoughts. Without, it seems like an odd glowing piece of steel. With the post effects, it actually looks like a light saber.

Of course I'd take a well written critic from a veteran any day of the week, ShadowWing, but I was thinking of the trolls without any experience on my class whatsoever, that order me to do the most...

Nonono chaobo, wow must live. I don't want to have to play with 80% of the wow playerbase who thinks they know my class better than me and how I should play it.

Quick question... so if you get attacked and block, your character is forced to stop running and do a block animation? Is he pushed back or anything?

The game is hard-protected against piracy.

For one, you need to have an internet connection, even to play in story/offline mode. That might be the first issue.
