[Official Q&A Thread for June 29th Blog Post]

For PVP armor. Reducing Mod Cost

 

example, I have a Juggernaut robe I got form Corellia.. and as I am doing pvp I now have the battlemaster vest.

I would much like to keep my current gear (PVE) over the looks of the pvp gear (battlemaster), so my question is:

can you lower the cost of removing mods from the pvp gear as each costs the best part of 40k, and if you take into account that you want to do it for all the gear, that is quite an amount.

I also think many people would wear different attire so we don't all look the same in pvp.

 

thank you for taking the time to read this.

 

Best regards

[The PVP is better at 1-49...]

I have 3 level 50s and a level 40, and I would certainly say 10-49 is more fun, (once you hit lv 50 the stats are just a tad OTT) most guys have have 20k hp, and sorcerers and commandos are such a pain in the arse (or any ranged that can damage and heal to a large degree with high armor) (and as I have a jug and a sent, I so hate going against either :>) yet anywhere 10-49, everyone has a fairer chance and I have always have more fun, even when I get to lv 10, I always go pvp and find myself holding my own as the main thing you lack is the later level skills which you can compensate for .

[Some additions for species and class]

I see, sort of a shame that they didn't trail it to see the reaction on PTS. oh well.

[Some additions for species and class]

I was thinking about adding something more of a special ability to each race, for example, if you are a Miraluka, you should be able to see through stealth. (as you see with the force and is mentioned during a cut scene with a sith who is in stealth that I could see just fine)

If you are a pure blood, then you should have higher force/willpower.

if you are human, I guess you could have extra strength. and so on. I guess you could use it like a buff or a very short move. I think we should have the option to change how you hold the weapon (lightsaber)

They should also let warriors use dual bladed lightsabers. also marauders could maybe use a single and dual saber like in the return trailer.. would look cool.

[Future updates.]

oh.. thanks buddy

[Future updates.]

Hey guys, I was wondering what additions you would like to see in the game with future updates. (also one would hope someone from bioware would happen to have a look)

 

I was thinking they should add something more of a special ability to each race, for example, if you are a Miraluka, you should be able to see through stealth. (as you see with the foice and is mentioned during a cut scene with a sith who is in stealth that I could see just fine)

If you are a pure blood, then you should have higher force/willpower.

if you are human, I guess you could have extra strength. and so on. I guess you could use it like a buff or a very short move.

I think they should give you the option to change how you hold the weapon (lightsaber)

They should also let warriors use dual bladed lightsabers. also marauders maybe use a single and dual like in the return trailer.. would look cool.

 

thanks for looking, replies and sorry if you read all this and got bored :>

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

Revan was the greatest of his time.

Exar Kun was the greatest of his time.

Marka Ragnos was the greatest of his time.

Naga Sadow was the greatest of his time.

Tulak Hord was the greatest of his time.

And so on..

and I hate to say it... if not one of the most average characters in any series Luke was the best in his. (but I don't care about that era as they had to bend to the already set layouts of Lucas, also the whole anikin solo will forever make me cringe and the fact that in the film, one of the coolest characters ever.. Vader was ruined :<)

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

Exar Kun was the greatest in his time and the same for revan.. no sense comparing those from different times.

Vitiate was stronger then revan as he absorbed a planet as-well as countless other sith lords before after that, I don't think anyone could or should be able to stand up to that magnitude of power on their own for long as it would be bit silly, well certainly not rival or beat it on their own. Yes their was a moment meetra could of killed Vitiate as he was focusing on the bigger threat, but as it was three on one, I am sure a chance to kill anyone would present itself. and I think that is how it should be when fighting the emperor or the main villain/bad guy/boss etc. just a point if I recall that's how Exar Kun lost as it was against multiple people.

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

I don't think they would of killed him.. as he is meant to be that powerful. (which makes a good enemy) but certainly they had the best chances :>

[British accents = Empire]

British just have better voices for sounding evil.

Is also why we can assume that we always play the bad guy in Hollywood movies, games and so on. as we are seen as the more stick in the mud compared to the Americans (I guess)

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

I think they could've done this, it's been a month or two, but I clearly remember a part in the book where it states one of them could've killed Vitiate if they chose to attack him instead of defend Revan. Revan was, though not truely Vitiate's equal, was probably one of the closest people in strength to him, he was defeated, but he had the ability to survive for short periods of time against him. Add in 2 more powerful people, different vantage points, I believe they had a 70% chance of succeeding, the 30% chance going if somebody slips up in the midst of battle and they lose their 3-1 advantage.

 

Spot on buddy

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

He was though, remember this?

Hahahah who can forget

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

Revan was power. It was like staring into the heart of the Force."

―Kreia

"You, Revan, are the single greatest warrior of this age, and any battle we fight will bring me honor."

―Canderous Ordo.. anyways moving on, you are just quoting her books and such right?

well ye, I have only seen her in trailers and in the game. but as for the books..I see, so it's gone way ott, dragonball z ish then. they did it with palpatine.. ruined by getting silly, if I recall it got to the point (in the books) that hje could destry planes on his own.. and luke was pratcly superman of the jedi.

I try to ignore all that as it ruins star wars for me. revan is not OTT, the emperor is a tad but he is the emperor so that's fine, but what the books did to vadar, palpatine just ruined their charecters (Hayden Christensen didn't help lol)

and it seems that from what you said Satele may be going down that route. so if you are going to go buy that then I guess I will have to take my hat off to you and leave it at that as revan is not the death star.

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

wookipidia says 'Revan was the most powerful Jedi of his time' (sums up my only point)

I not saying most powerful ever or anything.

just of his time. and now this game as he made a comeback :>

but Satele Shan is not really that strong, she can't beat malgas (whom is in no way weak.. is really awesome) but he is not as powerful as dark council and he kicks her *** two out of two, and clearly too.

she is on the otherhand really really strong in the 'force'

that's it.

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

Totally and utterly disagree, he was a terrible Jedi, as far as being a Jedi goes: Nomi, Vima, Surik, Kavar and others were three times the Jedi Revan ever was, Revan is like Exar Kun, difference being that Exar Kun really was a force prodigy and arguably the best of that entire era if we don't look into the Sith Empire.

Revan was/is a force prodigy and arguably the best of that entire era (is why their is so much debate) :>

as far as being a jedi goes.. does anyone even care I mean jedi are just the god squad, narrow minded, and arrogant.

There are also so many examples of the jedi doing evil things too, look what they first did to revan (against their preachy ways much) bah don't mean to get side tracked :>

point is, by jedi standards the council fail and contradict itself. so you can't really say he was a bad jedi when their are no good jedi really as it's all just ideals but when it comes to acting they do nothing. (if they stuck by their code)

anyways revan was more powerful then all of them (is what I meant) and is the most powerful jedi (between kotor1,2 and TOR) or I guess the prime aim of the jedi is to protect the republic.. did revan not save the republic a few times... so I guess he would be a great jedi then (in some ways)

[Revan Novel *spoilers*]

I don't understand all the insults about revan.. I mean he is the reason for the old republic,

also in terms of power he is still the strongest jedi ever (in the old republic kotor1+2,TOR era) by miles.

yes I like revan (the reason I am playing this game is because I liked KOTOR) but he did stand his ground for a tad but he was never going to win and I am glad he was out matched by the emperor, as he should be stronger then everyone, it would take rather a situation to beat him or shear highly powerful jedi/sith to beat him, (maybe then even fail)

I was first rather annoyed about the jedi story but I am very glad I got the wrong end of the stick :>)

 

meetra and scourge was no-wear near as powerful as him (obviously as they weren't even darth or masters) not my only point but cba to type it all out as it should be pretty obvious)

Revan in terms of power we can agree was the most powerful adversary that could of thought the emperor and still lost badly. he took away from the fight what best he could, making the emperor debate about attacking for 300 years (so bastilia and child). and now we can assume he is around somewhere.

[Marauders/Sentinels recomended pvp tree]

Hey guys, just ouit of curiosty, what would the Marauders/Sentinels recommend, Carnage, annihilation or rage??

and why

 

thanks for any and all replies

[What I Think Happened to Revan]

I think bioware sort of backed themselves in to a tight corner, they had to have raven in the game as he is the reason for TOR and natural as he was used to promote the game as much as they could, he had to be in it from the start.

No one can argue that he is the character that began KOTOR so he needs some conclusion, and to put him into a flashpoint or anyway where you can kill him was always going to fail as he is such a big character in TOR timeline he would have to go out in a epic way. not just a random lv 35 flashpoint ( the level does matter considering how powerful you are later on... but would more acceptable but still fail)

 

I personally didn't like how in all of kotor 2 all they could come up with was that he was in prison for a few years.... quite a lazy plot considering how a massive character he is.

regardless what can they do now? they know they can't have you kill him as he is too big a character

(they also made the same mistake with malgas.. he is not as big obviously but the poster Darth for the game, to have killed him off in a flashpoint certainly was not the right thing to do)

 

 

so what do you guys think they could do to make him die in a big enough way that would be acceptble (yes become on with the force but how..) take out the true emperor??? he tried and failed but could have a great hand in it, I just can't think of anything that bioware can do to not shot themselves in the foot :>

[Marauders/Sentinels OP for pvp?]

most of the time I or my friends play we mainly come across sorcerers, assassins... I mean by far more of them then any other class, on one side, then second would be bounty hunters.. don't get me wrong it does vary but the most pvp are sorcerers, assassins... and they are a pain in the arse (btw I am not being biased either, I have a lv 50 sorcerer, and a 27 bounty hunter so I know how easy they are to use in pvp compared to marauders/jug

in addition to , lv 50 marauder, 44 jug, 25 sentinel (and yes, I do play a bit too much but is a good way to wind down after work)

 

thanks for the response guys, glad to see I am not out of the loop :>

[Marauders/Sentinels OP for pvp?]

Hey guys, just a question to a long debate that marauders and sentinels are op for pvp, I have a 50 marauder and a 25 sentinel and find myself at a disadvantage in pvp, I don't take damage well, have to be right up in the heat of battle to inflict dame (not that I have a problem with it as wel, it's what you expect) so I was wondering why everyone seems to believe that we are so op.

I do alot of pvp (best way for exp in my book) and I seem to be at a disadvantage against more or less every class (bar warriors) as every other class is long range, we only have one move to close the gap, one move to counter stun, while other class has more, like assassins/sorcerors are a royal pain in the ***,(can knock you back, stun you twice, heal more thne you can inflict damage and force speed away also slow you dowwn, bounty hunters also have moves for knocking you back (again, not meaning to complain) but I do think we are the weakest class against anyone whom uses such abilities so I was just wondering what others opinions were?

 

... or maybe there is a secret to the class I don't know that makes them great :>

[Revan's true self is Sith/Dark Side]

I really think what ever author/game says should just be taken as fact as it all has lucas brand on it, if it says revan can/used light and dark at the same time, why is it a problem?

it's cool and would make since as he mastered both.

 

also adding new ways to use the force adds to the the whole universe of star wars,

the whole cannon and non cannon thing is pointless and just creates pointless arguments.

 

I say just take it as it is, I mean some of the stuff about luke creating a work holes is just silly and way OOT, but oh well, still counts (I mean if he can do that, revans light and dark combo is not as far fetched)

[Vader vs Revan]

Revan would win for me as I have read the book, played KOTOR 1 and 2 also TOR :>.

as fop Darth vader I have only seen the movies on him as I used to like him, but now no matter how good the books make him#(not that I like that ear of star wars as they are stuck to close to the movies as they have to), every time I think of him I see Hayden Christensen.

for me the prequel movies compleley ruined Darth vader, turned him into some stupid kid with mother issues, also his 'turn to the dark side' was pathetic and idiotic. (yes I know it was lucas fault and Hayden Christensen's in ability to act, but still, he is just ruined for me.

 

also revan is a much more fleshed out character for me so he wins hands down, also we have seen his greatness (kotor) unlike vader (cool in 4th and 5th, but not rest as lucas ruined him)

 

still, James Earl Jones, what an amazing voice :>

[Sith Emperor vs Darth Sidious]

You can't deny that he was a good character, he was a sly OAP.

I just wouldn't calm him a all powerful sith. again, just a sly old man :> whom outwided the clueless jedi (yes, I do love it when sith win)

[Sith Emperor vs Darth Sidious]

While the original 3 were pretty good movies Episodes 1,2,3 could have been so much better!

 

I think Mr. Lucas should of hired on the writers from bioware to help with the orginal three, it may have turned let down movies into epic movies. Geroge may have created this universe but it would be nothing without the people who continue to make it grow. So to everyone who says all that matters is G cannon is ludacris. If that were the case then George shouldn't of ever let anyone make any kind of eu!!

 

I agree. I liked the movies 4-6 but I wouldn't say there were my best star wars experience(1-3 were a travesty, also all the continuation of skywalker family and solo are just not my cuppa tea is all.)

it would of TOR, and everything it has to offer, from the hyper space war to the pure blood, characters (not just revan :>)

 

So as I don't 'Have to listen to/acknowledge G cannon as the surprime story, I don't.

 

I don't see the problem, I in no way wish to say those who like G cannon's views are wrong or anything. I just like what I like and ignore what I am in a position to do

[Sith Emperor vs Darth Sidious]

You can ignore G-Canon if you want, all it does is make you wrong. Even ignoring G-Canon you still have the novelizations of the movies (which are considered C-Canon) that already state that Sidious is the most powerful Sith ever. When it boils down to it, Revan is pretty mediocre compared to some of the bigger big bads.

 

I ignore G cannon as I don't enjoy it, that's all

G cannon feels empty to me as it's all about the solo and skywalker family, sidous etc.

I just prefer TOR, KOROR as it is just more intresting, hyperspace wars etc, anchent sith, exar kunn. is all great to me, compared to that G cannon only has skywalker family and solo family (I will be honest, I have only read wookipidea for this and that to see if luke is still being superman) bah, I am going of topic.

 

point is I shall ignore what bores me as it has not real impact on KOTOR/TOR.

also revan, just to point out, has done more then lets say oh luke, (luke in my opinion is not excatly a good charecter as he is just superman, which makes it no challenge or anything, when I read about revan fighting emperor, it was more enjoyment as the good guys (no matter how powerful and epic he was) lost. as he was the most powerful. it just makes for a much better story and charecter. damn.. hate going on but cba to delete it all so hope you can grasp from my drivel that I like C cannon and G cannon bores me so I shall just discard it, and that does not make me wrong in anyway, or vice versa.

 

(sorry for making you guys read my essay)
