There are few things that break my immersion: 1. Prices/rewards. First are way to big while the latter are...barely noticeable. While leveling you do quests, gather stuff which you sell for hard cash. Then ding happens and your trainer takes ALL your earnings. Happened to me way to often. Started at XXX credits, got sh***load of trash items, did tens of quests and after trainer I had exactly XXX credits. Brand new, factory fresh, Corellian Medium Freighter YT-1300 (Millenium Falcon was a heavily modified version of that) costs 100 000 creds. One Hundred Thousands. While learninig a skill to ride a bike @ 110% of walking speed costs 150 000. Looks legit. Rewards. They are sometimes laughable. Ex. Smuggler class quest around lvl 40 - heist of the millenium, much earlier - unimaginable riches of Nok Drayen, Bounty Hunter extremely difficult contracts... all involve at least one gold difficulty NPC to beat while the reward - 3k... Boba Fett cashed Han Solo for round MILLION while my BH for similar magnitude bounty gets... ~7k. Ah, chapter rewards. "Go claim your Chapter 2 Reward!" flashes hard. And what we get - one time use fleet teleport. Wee. 2. Omniknowledge of NPCs. Frustrating as hell when you infiltrate HIGH security, well hidden and virtually invisible and long forgotten lab, do fulfill your objectives and IMMEDIATELY holocall just to hear: "I already know what you've found, I just finished reading report from my spies". ***? What report, what spies FFS! i just killed that guy a SECOND before I called you and you have a FULL report from that? Your spies were able to observe, write a report, send it to you and you were able to read it in a matter of A SECOND it took me to dial to you? Seriously? So why am I bothering to kill 2341659 mobs in the way, finding hidden entrances, laser fences and stuff when YOU HAVE YOUR SPIES HERE! Geez. 3. Lack of cohesion. Which comes partially form previous point. On one hand they say that what you do is extremely difficult/impossible/profitable in the end it turns not so quite. So I finally found that fabulous riches, old blaster, some medpacks and whole 4k credits. Indeed. Fabulous reaches. Silver, gold and silver-gold mobs. Two years ago solo killing a silver was a 50/50 chance of success, gold was impossible while silver-gold required whole bunch of well geared players to down. Now, I can kill silvers in packs, equal level gold is a satisfactory fight, even few silver-gold fell. And they drop loot. Wee, lvl 40 silver-gold mob dropped... lvl 36 green quality! Lets take a look at stats: hmm... at lvl 34 i could consider it a boost, at 35 I had better greens and now, at 40.... even my companion has better stuff. And mind that half of those mobs require group effort to kill. Group effort vs reward that is 3-5 levels BELOW your current. This can kick me out of immersion pretty badly. Not to mention that teenage girlie (Coruscant quest where you rescue her brother) hands you a lightsaber as a reward. What? A lightsaber? A teenage girl had a freaking lightsaber in her pocket.... Please.

Probably already been mentioned but reading 137 pages to confirm ... yeah. So, Smuggler (human male in my case) part when you assault imperial vessel to rob it (pretty bold itself). You pilot the shuttle while your partner and his slicer are locked in a cargo. You land and imperial docking officer goes something like this: Officer: Who are you? The only scheduled flight is <number_here> with a Chiss pilot <typical_Chiss_name_here>. Me: Yeah, my parents were surprised too...

Disappointed? Clearly you don't know how Business runs. I'll try to explain (it was already mentioned) but from the Company's point of view. Few things at start: 1.Company want to earn 2. Company wants the $$$ to flow constantly To achieve that Company must provide things that people (players) will be dying to get. In our case it were Mask of Nihilus and Throne mount. Now, lets make it your way - set a fixed price on those two things and within two weeks everyone who wanted it - get it. As people had some Cartel Market Coins stashed, Company was giving it almost for free (you spent CC you were given). No profit. Ok, Mask and Throne were added after initial sales when people emptied their CC reservoirs. Tricky trick as BW announced Masks and Thrones in the very beginning and didn't implement at start - obvious flame war to be expected. But anyway - even if that would happened people will spend their money ONCE and finito - no moar cash flow. You wanted a Mask? You paid for it ONCE and you have it. Period. No income for Company. So "wise" Company made super wanted item a low chance drop. Plain and simple. They gave you a cow that Company can milk everyday, till the end of time. One get lucky and gets Mask out of very first Pack. Other will not be lucky and will spend hundreds of $$ to finally get one. And $$ flows....still flows...

Ok, flame and QQ thread just to vent some frustration. So I play, do quests, or rather try to do it since almost EVERY FREAKING evening Lag Strikes Back. And it does like a clock - certain hour came and I notice server lag of ~280 000 ms. Yup, that's right. Freaking FIVE minutes ! *** ? And after that usual DC and another error - cannot load server list and back to desktop. Friend on Skype plays normally while I struggle with launcher. Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE ... I just can't wait F2P when I can flood BW support with DEMANDS - I pay I demand. Period. Ok, vented some heat. Now back to my favorite BW quote: Login service is currently UNAVAILABLE...

A bit more detailed explanation: After BW merged servers into fewer super-servers I faced similar situation. My former server was The Red Eclipse. After merger I found that my server was... The Red Eclipse. Ergo - TRE was enlarged to allow other servers population to get inside. Yes? No. As a result (for me nothing changed - same server) I was asked to rename one of my chars. I wrote a ticket and waited. Finally BW employee contacted me and (after initial problems) explained what happened. In short. BW created plain new sup[er server and (unfortunatelly) named it: The Red Eclipse. And put there people from other servers, including former Red Eclipse. From Red Eclipse player nothing changed. From BW POV your (as well as mine) account was transferred from small Red Eclipse to Super Red Eclipse. Sadly BW made two mistakes here - reused server name and did't say a thing how exactly they will perform merger. So back to your question: speaking from experience - after server merging (which actually happened, despite server name being the same) it happened to exist multiple characters that share the name. And someone had to be asked to rename their characters...

No, but after completing KOTOR 1 as Light Side (and revealing the whole plot with Revan) I made new game and played as Dark Side. And my character was a female named...yes, you got it: Revan. Bastila: Revan....you ARE Revan. me: o rly? whaddya say...

Episode IV: (Star Destroyer cripples Tantive's V engines) Lieutenant: Lord Vader, enemy's Corvette engines disabled. Captain: Shall I use tractor beam to pull it inside and board? Vader: <force chokes Captain> Incompetent fool. Lieutenant - you are now promoted to Captain's rank. Now Blast that vessel apart. new Captain now: Yes, my Lord. <Tantive V ends in one big explosion>

Awesome thread. My turn. Episode III. (Anakin cuts off Mace Windu's arm) Palpatine: Power. Unlimited... POWER!!! <system error message>: You don't have enough Force to perform that action. Mace Windu: 0_o' Anakin: /facepalm Also: Why does Imperial Troops were defeated by Ewoks? Because Endor was a level 55 planet while Empire reached only level 50... And this one: (Hoth, Rebel base under attack. Chewie repairs Falcon) Chewie: ROoooarrraarrhrrragrr Han Solo: No! no no no. THIS one goes HERE and THAT one goes THERE. Chewie: RrooAAaaORRaaagrr. Han Solo: Chewie, you really need to level your Repair Skill... Episode IV (Leia is being kept captive an dinerrogated by Grand Moff Tarkin) Tarkin: I repeat onece more - where is Rebel Base located? Leia: (lie) Dantooine...they are on Dantooine <Leia receives 50 DS points> Tarkin: Dantooine is too far away. Blow Alderaan. Leia: NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo....... <Tarkin receives over 9001 DS points> <Tarkin: Attuned to Dark Side> <Tarkin reaches Dark II> <Tarkin reaches Dark III> <Tarkin reaches Dark IV> Episode VI (Moment before final attack on a 2nd Deathstar, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian talking) Han Solo: Really, take her. It's the fastest ship in the whole galaxy (pointing towards Millenium Falcon) Lando: I'm not sure, I know what she means to you. Han: I mean it, take her. Lando: Ok, ok. I won't even scratch her. I promise. <you cannot trade Bound items>

I'm amazed how high are those prices. And how ridiculous high are they. it's insane. One guy on this thread spent 3M cr to just complete a nice looking set. Three MILLION credits. For an armor set. Comparison: YT-1300 Light Freighter (most know example - Millenium Falcon) new unit price: 100.000 used: 25.000 CR90 Corvette (most know example - Tantive V; also know as Blockade Runner) new unit price: 3.500.000 used: 1.500.000 So for a cash that one guy trashed he could just buy a flotilla of space war ships! Literally. 20 million credits to unlock Legacy perks? To allow Bounty Hunter a Force Choke? F*** it. I'd rather buy 10 more corvettes and order an orbital bombardment. Less accurate but much more devastating. And hey - I have my own fleet.

Carbonite freezing is a method of suspended animation. In theory it is a state where all body functions are halted without killing the subject. And the key word is: body functions. In short - aging is a malfunction in cells replication. Each body cell has programmed quantity of replication cycles. After cell reach that limit it dies. The more cells die the more body become aged. By halting cell replication process you halt aging. So to answer your question - no, you don't age (in terms of body) while in carbonite. You may consider it as crude way of time travel. YOu freeze in 2012 and defreeze in 2112. For world it's been a 100 years, for you only freeze - defreeze moment. Side note - we time travel in that matter every day. When we go sleep. You fall asleep @ 22:00 and wake at 08:00. World moved 10 hours while for you it was the moment between shutting and opening eyes. So in a blink of an eye you travelled 10 hours in the future

The way i see it is that you too fall under Sidious' manipulations. Sadly, it was Palpatine that was superior. He WAS controlling fight all the time. I'll explain why. Let's go back a little. In the beginning there was Chaos...err.. not that much, ok? So, Darth Sidious alredy lost two of his apprentices - Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus. And he was plotting to get new one. But there was a sliiight problem with his future apprentice. He was a Jedi and not convinced to Sith way. So he had to be convinced. Sidious was plotting that for a looooong time (some rumor that Anakin was a creation of Sidious' master - Darth Pleguis the Wise and Palpatine now continues that). Every action that involved Anakin was overlooked ant directed by Palpatine. Why he asked for OB1 help with Padme protection? Because there was Anakin and he had feellings toward Padme (of which he told Palpatine as his "mentor"). We can say that Palpatine "arranged" Padme and Anakin romance. He was luring Anakin towards Dark Side all the time. And all concluded when Mace Windu with other 3 masters came to Chancellor's office to arrest him. Palpatine and Windu duelled. But it was Palpatine who controlled the whole fight. He was just delaying the duel just to enable Anakin to arrive. And Anakin, deep in love with Padme, terrified with his dreams of losing wife, torn between Palpatine, an old mentor and Jedi code and duty he enters chambers and see what. Palpatine laying, "weak" and defeated. Saying that it's him who can save Anakin's love. And Anakin falls into that. He cuts Windu's arm. And pay attention - how that "defeated and weak" Palpatine acts. Power. Unlimited... POWER!!! It is here where Palpatine shows his full potential. Up to that point he was just an actor. performing his role of old, weak and fragile man. And everyone, literally everyone fell on that. He alone manipulated Trade Federation, Jedi Order, Jedi Grand Masters, Anakin, Senate just to achieve his own personal goal. So what you see in film is that Palpatine allowed Windu to think he was winning and controlling the fight. You remember the SW TOR trailer when Malgus attacks Jedi Temple? You remember what he said in the very beginning? You were deceived...

My thoughts are in bold italics. Cheers.

Why are people still shouting? Because TOR lfg tool isn't working as expected. First - it's limited to server hence lower chance for you to get ppl for a FP in your level range. Second - lfg tool limits you to certain level bracket. You are capable of doing Athiss and Black Talon, you are willing to do both but due to your level lfg puts you in Athiss only so nearly full group for Black Talon is still waiting for their 4th while you are waiting for other 3 ppl. Third - it's faster. Sadly more and more players are sitting idle on Fleet and waiting for opportunity to creat/join some group. They are interested in running a FP or whatever but they don't queue in lfg.There is demand but no supply for lfg. For me I treat it as an extra. I log in, go questing while being in queue. On time it pops 5 minutes after, other time 1.5 hrs and still no go.

I don't understand the hype about black cored sabers (and blasters - seen that in one FP). For me it looks ridiculous. I may be hardcore in that case but I see it that way red - Sith blue, green - Jedi violet - both orange - training lightsaber. I can agree for lighter/darker variations (cyan for blue, magenta for red...). Even some mixes like viridian (blue-green mix). But black core? Nope, sorry. For many years it was green and blue for Jedi and red for Sith. Games based on that. SW Jedi Knight series introduced yellow. Some titles gave it to the bosses (Gorg and Pic for example), other made it training weapon (Jedi Academy). There also violet appeared. Later Mace Windu received a purple saber (on personal request from Samuel L. jackson as he loves that color). To explain the reason Lucas created whole back story about Windu's fighting style (Vaapad, so close to the Dark Side that it had a visual reference in his light saber's color). And now we get almost all spectrum of colors. And cores. Especially black ones. For me they simply don't fit. Black cored sabers very common during the Old Republic but later completely lost and unheard of. I personally like original colors. And will stick to that. With minor exceptions for violet. Inquisitor will get violet Warrior remain with red (maybe when dual wield he gets violet, but it's not certain) Knight will dual wield green and violet (had that combo in Jedi Academy - looks great) Consular will still use her green.

I'd like to see ships have more meaning in game. Right now it's a matter of transport, rested bonus and storage. What i'd like to have is a modification station so I could craft and modify gear on board. Sure I can visit station on planet and do it there but having ship's mod station would be more convenient. It would be also nice to have a storage container available in captain's quarters. All we have now is just a piece of wall that looks like storage. And please, please - add more jump speed cinematics. We have standard one that is completely unrealistic. Same out of orbit move and always same direction jump. It'll be really nice those jumps vary.
