  1. Not sure what you ask, obviously english isnt your native language ( nor mine) but no matter. If you are asking if that gear, is republic gear, yes you are correct, is old republic gear. More specifically, the republic during the mandalorian wars.
  2. Just a bit of information, theron might not be force sensitive, it doesnt mean he cant pass the force sensitive genes on to its children and so on. The same way both dark haired parents can pass lighter hair to their children, if the grandparents have it. its a genetic issue, you might have the phenotypes, they just dont manifest themselfs etc. Im not certain, but bastilla and revan had only one Son, and he wasnt force sensitive, he was like theron. ( he ended up being Chancelor of the republic if im not mistaken) What im saying obviously his chidren,a nd their children children, (some of then at least, were force sensitive, like Satele for example. So what im trying to say, Theron might not need to hook up with lana, in order to have children that are strong in the force.
  3. At this point Vitiate is more powerfull in my prsonal opinion, given im more into it atm then i am with sidious or other character. I would never be guied by what Gl says.. specialy in the past and given his backrecord, and specialy, when Star wars is no longer his propriety right now, and because we all know what his word is worth anyway regarding this issues, nothing is ever set. Point being, i think ultimately this is a personal, or fan preference, as the strongest its usualy what the writters chose to write about, at any given moment. Its the same old story, who is stronger Superman, or Batman? everyone would say Superman because reasons, yet batman beat superman several times, because reasons. There isnt never a clear cut to the chace regarding fictional characters. The writters have all the power to make things happen, a canon only exists to guide them in universe building, not to cage characters in illusionary fictional chains. I do however find peculiar ironic and amusing, people complaining about eachothers of their fanboyism to certain characters, as if it wasnt even alowed at all, or because of a certain established canon, that probably doesnt matter anymore due to the changes, or because, a canon is only established to guide writters, not to set power levels to characters. all i mean jesus cant people alowed to have fun? what is the point then ?! Just my two cents anyway. why not? are you saying anyone can do it? even someone who isnt powerfull enough in the force? or even force sensitive? I highly doubt that is the case. If You dont have the power the rituals are useless that much seems to be the norm in this things.
  4. To get the solo storyline you need to acess the quest via the terminal in your spaceship. If you go via fleet first you get tactical always needed to advance in the storyline.
  5. Agent story isnt overated. It is the best story in SWTOR. It doesnt mean it is the best story ever. It isnt. Allthough i can tell you if bioware made a single player treatment of Agent storyline, it could easy be one of the best bioware stories. Due to the fact, the agent story line doesnt folow the usual bioware cliche of the chosen one, to beat everything at all odds, and be awesoem at everything. In fact agent story is unique in the sense, that you are a just a regular agent, facing tuff situations, and are usualy treated badly by your superiors etc.
  6. Whenever you have the expantion or not you should be able to start forged alliances story arch. At lvl 55. Since you are not there yet, the quest giver isnt avaiable. And they told you the right information, the quest giver is a droid in the fleet.
  7. Mine is F1 for mount, dismount, F2 for rocket boosts.... I mean what the op is asking it is already in the game. Someone who doesnt even hotkeys his abilities usualy ( whataver they are), cleary dont know how to play the game yet.
  8. I find it corny and a bit campy, and blatantly obvious ( wich is allmost insulting to the the audience inteligence.... we got it he is evil.... I found it in the Original triology too in Episode VI. I like Ian Mcdiarmid as an actor dont get me wrong, it isnt in his skills, its a design issue, in how the emperor is portrayed., Initialy the emperor wasnt that, its just not the ideia that i had of an Emperor of a galatic empire, i for once prefer the original Clive Revill emperor, much more plausible, and menacing imo, the original scene had leaving a sense of mystery relating to an ominous figure. making thus more menacing. Again imo. I find Ians Mcdiarmid performance too cartoonish, and cliche for my taste. There were some scenes that i liked when he was facing yoda trowing senate chairs ( when you make it too ridiculous, you cant go wrong with it), but that was it for the most part. His portrayall of palpatine is ok ( allthough i never buy his role in anakin falling, but that is a plot/writting flaw), i have nothing to point it out, not that there is much to point it out, the prequels are shalow and lacking in susbstance, as well character, as oposition to the original triology imo.
  9. The first sentence doesnt invalidate the last sentence. Nor was i trying to imput a negative trait on Kotor 2 due to this overhype of Revan. Im just stating what where the effects of doing this, after the game. Everyone thought Revan ( their previous character was so dam awesome) It worked well for the game imo. What came after, however, had its drawbacks tough. I dont know most certainely the best stories in a Bioware game thats for certain. Kotor 2 not being bioware, but still. The only other game that i felt it came closer to Kotor in awe inspiring was probably the first mass effect. Im yet to find just as good stories in other RPGs to be honest. And i played alot of them. Regardless that is true for me. It might not be true to you. Btw im ok with the canon revan of SWTOR, nor was i expecting the same level of quality storytelling ina MMO. wich Honestly, it makes me dont care as much about the stories in swtor. At least i dont take them as serious as i did in this games. They good for a laucgh here and then. quite exemplary for an MMO, but everything is lacking on the storytelling department in comparison. There is allmos zero imersion for instance. As i said KOTOR hypes Revan alot to make the Player feel special. As revan was your character in Kotor. IN Kotor 2 revan isnt your character, but you feel good to hear all those mysterious iconic things about him/her, specialy what kreia tells you about him. Btw KOTOR games are very cheap atm on steam. besides what you are saying it is true, i know people who just refuse to play this game, because what it did to revan... that is the attachment. The other attachment you are talking about its what Bioware/Lucasarts does, basicaly in order to take advantage of the popularity of the character. If im not mistaken Revan was considered one of the most popular star wars characters by the fans, before swtor came along. So naturaly Bioware and lucasarts/ and EA this time, gonna bet on that, that is why you see so much revan on SWTOR ( some will even say it isnt enough go wonder) Other thing is I think revan was much more sinister and frightning in the KOTORs. The swtor version is much more lighter or less mature, or even more cartoonish if you will. No suprising give the nature of the storytelling is much more mature then the ones you find in SWTOR.
  10. First is Revan not Raven, and Second they did the exact same thing to dragon age, and possibly shepard ( just wait for ME4) Both KOTOR and specialy KOTOR II overhypes revan like no tomorow. All in the attempt to make the player feel special. Kreia for instance never stops talking about revan, and even says that looking at revan, was like Looking at the heart of the force. The player is bombarded by hype, and mythology about the character, and then when finaly Bioware comes up with Canon version, out of necessity, sudnely the character bleeds, and suffers, and can be defeated, and it has its flaws, more evidently showned, basicaly his human as he comes. That is the attacthment of it. Not to mention Kotor and Kotor II are probably the best RPG games ever made, as storytelling goes. They are dated by now, but no less apealing, and still of great quality. I think Bioware done even worse to the jedi exile, or Hk 47 for that matter.
  11. I know right?! Alot of people forget the canon only exists to guide the writters and creators of future, and current entertaiment. Ontherwise it doesnt realy matter outside of this spectrum, everything else is just people, or audience experiences. Wich are all subjective, and they wont go away just because it is or not canon acording to the creators. They could rebooted all of star wars and begin a new continuity for all they care. ( I seen them do it alot of times, in DC/marvel comics for example.) I also love to hear the current comon complain, that people are glad that the Revan story isnt canon anymore.... news flash it never was, nor does it matter anyway. An argument can be made about the quality of the writting, and the overall story. To be honest its not like Star wars was ever knowned to have exemplerary writting, and arguments their strongest suit were other things, safe for a few exceptions maybe, but even the movies are badly written from a storytelling perspective. ( i for one cant stand the dialogues, and the overall story of the prequels, i loathe Anakin... even good actors like Mcgregor, and Portman pass as horrible actors saying those terrible lines, i just pretend the prequels dont exist to put it simply) I have my issues with the revan story as well. But i like him anyway, because he was my character once in a great RPG, just i like My wardens, and shepards, i like Revan as well, even if they have their crappy storylines. Hell i even like hawke story ( at least on paper as DA2 gameplay sucks) I hate what they did with mass effect ending as well. One thing i dont like on Bioware games, is how The character you play, is the best at everything, its the most awesome character that ever existed or will be exist... and im guessing that is behind the Revan complains... because the fans do see, now, that Revan is none of those things. One of the reasons I like the Imperial agent story the most, where you play a special agent, but you are not the chosen one, people talk back to you, treat you bad, as storytelling goes, the story is about you, but it is not about you being a chosen special one. In that sense it might be the only exception that differs from the usual Bioware formula of telling a story.
  12. What you do expect? dont you know how these kind of threads always end up? Specialy when you dont realy give logic reasons. ( i dont think you even need to btw) But by sharing in a gaming forum, where there isnt a need to begin with. but your own to proclaim to the world that for you the game isnt good anymore for you because there isnt 12xp boost .. welll brace yourself. You got what you deserve here, or you pay for you naivity. Point being It is nobody business why you sub or not, and from my experience of reading similar thread like these, most people loathe these threads, and dont like to hear it. Generaly speaking. Also just a small note, there is more story behond lvl 55....
  13. To the OP news flash, you dont need a reason to unsub. No one needs. I like the game very much, been playing it since launch, on and off, it has been a year since i didnt played it for example until very recently. You dont need to be always a sub player, you are not entitled to any of those things you claim to want in order to sub, and i doubt very much Bioware will care about your specific complains enough to apply them in order for you to sub again. I unsub and subed many times, and i never felt the need to explain why i did it. I guess alot of people are just drama queens, in the forums. And lastly bioware or anyone else it isnt entitled to know why i sub or dont sub. Its a business that simple. I pay for an entertaiment, if i dont even feel in the mood i dont have it to, and i dont have to explain it on the forums, why im not in the mood, it is nobody business. It might not even be a thing related to the game.
  14. "Judgment: Buying droid parts here would be like acquiring replacement organs from a butcher." (Mos Ila, Tatooine) Revan bought/acquired Hk 47 in tatooine...
  15. I canot agree more with you, there is no doubt a decadence thing going on in the western societies for some time now, the paralels of the last days of the roman empire socialogicaly speaking are there, the concentration of wealth and its disparity., the lack of quality of public services, the way people look at entertaiment etc In the perspective of a European, and a southern european no less, i can tell we are living in extraordinary times, and shifting times, where things are changing as we speak.
  16. All classes were nerfed and are more squidish. MY advice go to the supplies section in fleet on planet mod comentdations, and if you have basic coms, buy Rishi mods for your gear, the vendor is right next to makeb comendations mods. You shouldnt have a problem runing oricon or lvl 55 Hm content, as the mods are 172 ranting. Hope it helps.
  17. Yes i know alot of Doctors, and nurses, that were forced to go to other countries to look for a job, so there you go. Not everyone is cut to do all those things i knew a girl that went to be a doctor, because of the social preassure of parents and friends, saying exactly the same thing as you do, lets just say it didnt turned out very well, it always been like that, and it still is. Aptitude matters belive it or not. Join the army? good luck doing that in your late 20s... and good luck landing a position as public servent. Not to mention the risk involved in being part of US military. But in Europe right now. Where public servents are seen as parasytic and like the private sector, is just not hiring atm, in fact the oposite good luck with that/ I knew nurses that couldnt find a job, they were forced to go to Ireland, or Brazil.. etc. IT isnt always a sure thing either abroad, because of the language barrier. I just find silly blaming the youth right now for economic problems living atm, and for mistakes done by previeus generations but whataver,. Also not everyone has the conditions to migrate to US., or another country But i digress. Yeah i hate crybabies as well, i just dont seem them much of threat, or a problem. .
  18. Sure, i knew alot of people that went with the mentality, of studying what gives a job... and now they are abroad looking for jobs... its hard to pinpoint what gives a job... as the market is constantly changing... and specialy now, as we live extraordinary times. Specialy in Europe. And the place where i come from, where there is 50% to 60% youth unemployment.. You can blame the youth as much as you like, but i know better. That my friend is a double edge sword. as well., have people in the family that studied what they wanted, and are very well employed, the thing is times are changing right now, everything is harder and uncertain today. The money is in Asia for once, To be more on topic, yeah i also agree that this kinda of threads, are childish, and idiotic, but its hardly anything new, and it is hardly the end of the world. Sports fans have been doing worse for decades, humanity as been doing worse things for decades or even centuries for different reasons... it isnt a petition or a lawsuit as much idiotic as they are, that is going to change it. It is a sympthom of something? sure thing if what exactly it is hard to say,, it isnt like entertaiment wasnt always shalow at times, or spawned shalow movements or reactions.... it is hardly anything new. For once i think complaining about a product that you as consumer felt decieved in the times we live in? it isnt necessarly a bad thing, how come you in normal circunstances can ask for a refund of other products, and suddenly for video games is an absurd thing? it shouldnt be in theory. And if there is something that has alot of protection law wise in comparison to other things in the comsuption area ... it is the video game industry and the digital distribution. Alot of things in other areas, would certainely rise a bigger ruckus then video game industry. The ethics, and morality of cartel packs for instance is one of them. DLCs as concept etc. These are all things that are far from being inocent. Mind you im not defending people that like to complain just because, of a tantrum, i just think that is a very humane, natural reaction, it just doesnt mean the end of the world, or the colapse of civilization. Evidentely so.
  19. Yeah as if jobs are raining at everyones feet in modern day in our societies....
  20. You are doing something wrong if you have multiple wipes. Yes lvl 55 Hm FP are much harder now, but not that hard, unless you or someone in your group are doing something wrong. I had marauder in my group today in Core meltdown, and he died a couple of times, not because the FP was particular hard ( harder yes but not that hard) , but because he was constantly pulling mobs first instead of waiting for the tank, you just dont breeze through it as you did before , imo its a good thing, it values skill and know how instead of overgear... i mean a lvl 55 HM FP was so easy in 2.0 that a dps could pull and still get away with it.. That is not balance. That said i expect the same kind of runs once people get to lvl 60 and its gear, but at least at 60 it makes sense to be that way, not at 55. Its all about balance. Hope the 60s FP are still chalenging for people at lvl 60 with ist gear, ands not as easy as the 55 HM fp were in 2.0. Chalenging enough so that the players need to mind mechanics, that imo is ideial.
  21. Gwendoline Christie it was my first tought to be honest. http://www.the-arcade.ie/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/brienne-of-tarth-vader-star-wars-episode-vii-gwendoline-christie-as-brienne-of-tarth-vader.jpeg
  22. Bah Malgus is epic enough for instance, and doesnt need to be a giant... but whataver size isnt everything. Ask yoda. I found the dread masters epic, Soa, Terror from behond as well Yet i still think the false emperor trumps some of those in epicness. Imo. There are tons of giant beasts in the ops as mid bosses as well. Not counting world bosses.
  23. Lana isnt the emperor. however could her being a Children of the emperor? that is another story.
  24. All i hear about healing nerfs, and i dont care ( and i have my operative healer) All i care is why take orbital strike away? it makes no sense to me. If killing mobs wasnt already a chore as it is....
  25. I dare say its in Oricon somewhere not in a OPS, and that isnt an Isotop 5 droid, its one of those Republic walkers in Oricon wich is full of those. They are not NPCs, or enemy NPCs, are just decoration. You even have to climb one to get a piece of lore. I dare say , and i might be wrong, but that is the path you take from the heroic mission to the dread fortress area or ( orperations area). At least is very similar.
