  1. Well there's some more WZs to go along with huttball on my insta-drop list.
  2. I love how the idea of someone liking this game yet hating a particular feature and asking for it to be changed/removed, because if nobody says anything and just pretends the game is perfect, nothing will be improved just never occurs to you. Do you divorce your wife after every fight, or what? Can some of the comments be a bit harsh? Yeah. It's the freakn' internet, not the Oxford Union. Show me a video game forum with enlightened, well-reasoned debate and nothing but calm, constructive feedback and you can have my sub. Seriously, how is the fact that these people are still playing after a year not some kind of clue that they're not just WoW drones? You can't really think someone would play a game he hates for a year just to troll a forum, can you?
  3. Applies at least as much to the White Knight Brigade as to the "haters". It's just an objective fact that this game severely underperformed related to everyone's (fans, BioWare's, EA's, and the media's) expectations. But then you'll have people come on here and desperately try to sound "mature" by claiming that this game is perfect, kids these days are just "entitled", and in MY day we walked uphill both ways to camp a spawn point for hours for 200 XP, and we liked it because it built comraderie!
  4. Yeah it's not pretty, but it is getting better for the most part (with the exception of the Consular's S&M robes). After dressing my Inquisitor up as a swamp monster with random chunks of metal glued on, there's really nowhere to go but up.
  5. The thing about Ashara: Okay, so you can't turn her to the dark side and the "master of manipulation" Sith Inquisitor doesn't actually get to manipulate people like the Warrior. Fine. But then why the %@#! does she still travel with you everywhere and help you commit all kinds of atrocities, up to and including massacring Jedi? This whole "I'm a good Jedi, fighting for peace, just hangin' out with my Dark Council buddy! I'll actively help you commit borderline genocide against the Cathar on Taris but don't ask me to betray the Jedi Council's teachings." thing is just stupid.

    Yup, I hate it, I think it's stupid, but that's what's happened. The Emperor's real body was the one the JK killed, not a Voice. Like in ME3 (destroying a mass relay destroys the entire star system, oh wait nvm), BioWare has had a hard time lately keeping their own established lore straight.
  7. 1) Denova: This is where it's at. Node-type WZs are my favorite because it focuses the fighting instead of everyone just going off and doing their own thing. Every class has a role to play. Best of all, it's never over till it's over so there's always a chance for the losing team to come back. 2) Civil War: Like Denova except it's hard to come from behind if the other team knows what they're doing. Matches are really usually decided in the first couple of minutes. Still fun though. 3) Voidstar: 50/50. Can be a really fun time or just a slog. The whole team is involved, which is good. I'll agree with the other poster who mentioned this one really has a problem with people "calling". People, "left" and "right" change depending on which way you're facing. Cardinal directions are your friend. 4) Hypergate: Really convoluted scoring system that actually just boils down to "hold one pylon and kill more people than the other team". Would be better if energy orbs counted for more. 5) Huttball: I hate everything about Huttball, right down to it's setting/story. A bunch of Jedi take a break from saving the galaxy to play a bloodsport for the amusement of some Hutt? I recall most matches being a team deathmatch with maybe one or two people on each team bothering to locate the ball, but I haven't played it in months since I immediately quit whenever this WZ pops up.
  8. I thought KOTOR 2 was great. I get maybe BioWare wanted to make their own sequel later but jeez guys put on your big boy pants and work with what they gave you instead of being so transparently petty.
  9. He's not dead, BW has a far worse fate in store for him: Spending eternity as the end boss in the Wrath of the Emperor King expansion.

  11. Any answer in this thread that isn't "Ashara" is factually incorrect.
  12. I just want to know how the same Empire that roflstomped the Republic in the first war (which lasted decades, so it wasn't just a "surprise attack", it was a war of attrition) can be so cartoonishly incompetent in this one.
  13. Part of me thinks they pretty much have to throw the Imps a bone eventually, otherwise why make them a player faction at all? Don't give me this "you were winning for 40 years" crap. That was backstory. Ever since the real SWTOR story began the Republic has been going from triumph to triumph. Oh, but they lost Taris and Hoth, two wasteland planets nobody gives half a @%#& about. The lamest part is most class and flashpoint stories have the Republic fighting the Empire, and the Empire ALSO fighting the Empire: I mean, just for the sake of the Dramatic Arc, things have to change eventually.
  14. It's explained a bit in the JK story on Belsavis. As the Emperor himself says, "there is no death, there is only the Force, and I am its master." He wants to finish the ritual he started a millenium ago and turn himself into a god. His followers believe that after he destroys this tainted world, he will create a new, perfect world, and raise those who were loyal (or their souls, it's rather metaphysical) from the dead to live again. Of course he might just be lying, but there you go.
  15. The other day our KP group wiped a couple of times. It was then that we noticed the juggernaut in cunning gear with a lvl 36 shield and no helmet. Not a hidden headslot. No helmet.
  16. I'm sure Drew has another turgid novel in the hopper.
  17. Don't let 'em bug you, I'm sure they're lives are hard enough seeing as how their moral code includes never asking questions of corporations. "I don't have the right to question the waiter as to why there's a hair in my soup. All I can do is not eat here again." I honestly can't imagine going through life like that.
  18. Isn't that what they pay writers thousands of dollars to come up with?
  19. I swear I wonder how some people on these forums go through real life. "Oh, I know my dinner came with a hairball in it, but really I should be grateful that the chef was nice enough to cook me anything. And I know that waiter was super rude to me but really I should thank him for allowing me the privelege to dine in this establishment."
  20. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_states "Demonym: American" Wikipedia has spoken.
  21. If they added dye, then their artists would actually have to come up with new armors instead of re-coloring older ones.
  22. Unfortunately BioWare will never implement dyes, otherwise how could they pass off re-colored items as new content?
