To Spy or not to Spy

[Anonymous]

From what I've seen (correct me if I'm wrong) but hackers not only build but can heal as well. Then they can also hack, I think I'm gonna keep a healthy mix between hacking and soldier skills. But some spy skills look to call to just dismiss, are you limited to how many skills you can have? I don't want to see a repeat of SWG.

I was thinking about Aaura's post, and I got to wondering, surely the Angels will have some sort of recognition system, be it a tattoo or jacket or something. I was thinking we should also have a system to "check" people we KNOW are outsiders but are trying to infiltrate us, and feed them fake information, and pretend we don't know. :-D

question ... this might just be that my mind is rather simple ... which i know it is but that's besides the point

if your ability is a mix, like spy/hacker or hacker/soldier ... do you not get full benefits/abilities of each and instead just get like 50-50 or 70-30? how does that work?

sorry if it was a stupid question but better to keep quiet and let people think you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt ... wait ... that's not right ... i mean .... no question is a supid question?? ... i dont know ...

Oh, I've proven there ARE stupid questions...

GrimKitten,
You don't sign up for a particular skill when you register, you just train on that particular skill to get its level up.
If you want to be a mix, you work on both your, say, spy AND hacker skills.
It depends on how much you work on each skill to how much its levels go up.  Unfortunately, it probably means that you don't have as high levels for them as if you were to work on one skill.
Hope that makes sens

Yes it does. Or at least, it makes SOME sense. Thanks much =)

I haven't decided.  I want to be a pure ass kicker, but I also want the joy of sneak attack and spec ops. I am very undecided right now.

thanks a ton!! and yes, it makes sense. i personally think (after reading this thread) that i would prefer hacker to be able to heal people ... i do it here .... well not physically but i think that would be a kickbutt ability .... "you died but i made you all better!!"

well in mxo you can be all 3 classes, in the sense that you will be able to go out equipped with whatever abilities you've acquired, no matter what tclass skill it  may be!  forgot which article said that though

Remember that when it gets near release, well learn a lot of things that we won't know right now so its highly likely that a lot of people will switch what they wanna do. You still have like three months to figure it out. I myself have chosen to be a spy because i think it will really add a lot more variety to the game than if i wa a soldier or a hacker. Plus i like to be sneaky. Then again maybe ill find out that being a spy really sucks and end up switching. Who really knows?
