Salutations, I ... am something of a student quality 3d artist/animator and I am interested in making a SWTOR fan animation. I have learned through years of experience working on such projects not to depend on others to complete it.... but I was wondering if there would be a large interest in a fan animation. It is a huge under taking to create every character in 3D and to put it all together. While I am not primarily a 3d modeler, I have some skill with it... and I am learning more on my own to really make things shine. I guess my question is do you think the SWTOR fan base would be largely interested in an animation film? Not sure how much longer than 5-10 minutes I want to go... depends on the depth of interest to be honest... also my animation experience does not exceed 10 minutes... which is a lot of render farm renting. I cannot make the same skill level as Blur Studios did for SWTOR... But I love SWTOR and Star Wars in general. I am really inspired by the comics that lead up to SWTOR's release. While the whole thing I make would be original, it would be set during SWTOR. Just trying to gauge interest as that is what is going to carry me through when the excitement wears thin during the hard parts of any fan project. Most of my animation work is propriety of those I did it for.. but here is a 3d model example: http://www.majhost.com/gallery/discordia/ateam/One/example_art.png Respectfully, Rhavank

Beautiful

That was my impression at first as well but in retrospect its perfectly what they said it was. Its like winning a competition for a Toyata car only to find out its a Toy Yoda because you did not read into it too much. But oh well.... Also if you want to keep your mods/crystals and other such.... just open up your weapon mod pop up and drag and drop the mod from your weapon to your inventory. Costs some credits (like 35) to do it, but... meh its nothing.

Absolutely loved it. This has to be one of those special "moments" during pre-launch to be remembered and used as a reference for those who went through pre-launch later down the road as we explain to our newbie friends how we waited and the things we did.

Best joke ever, and the thing is... you play it on yourself. Acting like a kid on Christmas Eve does not make it come any quicker. Today begins the period in which it was planned for you to "Possibly" start. This is awesome business methodology in work here. See, during pre-order of pretty much most MMOs that have come out recently, half or more were cancelled when players over extended their expectations of how things should be. Welllll you cannot really cancel if you redeemed your code either so, cheers. Bioware gets you to at least honestly try the game and keeps to its promise while doing so. The anticipation is getting to me too but I thought it wonderful that they started this 2 days EARLY and with realistic expectations, not just let everyone come in and trample the servers and cause them to go down or be patched to fix things that only break when a server is overloaded and it tries to compensate. I do regret that I cannot rush in and get my name which is no doubt common enough to be taken by those who ordered first, buuuut I did wait until last month to actually get the game. I can understand the logic of "Hey lets get those in who showed up first", after all in pretty much any other place in business society, first come first served tends to be a commonly accepted way to equalize things.

I remember beta'ing SWG and a lot of the bugs it had, existed all of the way to NGE (at which point I stopped playing). That game pioneered a lot of things into the MMO genre but it was more about you making the story and you making the galaxy what you wanted. It was more a simulation. Because the game was so dependent upon community, when the game hit some serious snags and lost people, it was compounded and lead into a spiral of decay. This game (SWTOR) is more about you as an individual experiencing a storyline that others of your class experience. This would seem to be boring but it was really well done. The game is highly structured and has limited sandbox capability (higher end content!) but while it seems like bottlenecking would occur badly, in this game it seems to bring people together.

During beta my guildies and I encountered this issue, a lot. Rather than spend a lot of time alt+tabbing to mute the microphone we all recognized that we were going through this so we just came up with an all tell "Cutscene" and used a keybinding feature. You can do this in ventrilo. To do this in vent, do the following Where it says. Username Server Bindings Select bindings arrow. Create New. at the bottom select ADD. Check "Toggle Mute Sound" and in the box below it for the hotkey just select your hotkey of choice and hit ok. This way you both inform your guildmates that you are in need of silence and are muting ventrilo without effecting them. I hope this helps!

The Padawan lovers appeared to be young and in the stages of puppy love. This is a common trait of teenagers. Putting up some wall to prevent a mistake early on in one's life which has been oriented towards the service of a greater good seems to be a fair choice. I do not subscribe to the whole Jedi cannot have relationships thing but it is clearly shown that personal attachments throughout Jedi lore have caused the downfall and unreversable actions of many Jedi. Jedi have always have had relationships but it was about forming relationships that superceded the purpose of being a Jedi. To use a real life example, look at any military organization. The military life comes first and the family life comes second... and in some militaries... is not even supported. The Jedi in the Jedi Order act as a super organization that needs dedicated members who will not fall down a certain path that can spell disaster for the many. Jedi are living weapons and forcing some manner of responsibility, especially at the early stages, seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable action.

November 14th, here. I do not expect to get in today... in part due to how far it is from summer and also because I have the day off. Getting access has to be something I get when I am deeply entrenched in work. Its a universal law. As a beta tester I have to say that I simply was enthralled by this game. Despite going through a lot of the intro content, I am looking forward to going through it again with different choices and in different ways. Also, those naysayers who promote the usage of the space bar might as well join a PvP server. It is going to cut down a lot of the riff raff in those few RP-PvE servers. One thing I am looking forward today though, since I have off. Is coming onto the forums and watching people cry, whine, and troll each other in a vain attempt to stave off the self initiated boredom they have from waiting specifically on this game.
