  1. I got it about 14 hrs ago...FINALLY. This was after the Thursday patch. It is still possible.
  2. I am a huge fan of Mandalorian culture myself and would love to see it implemented on a larger scale, but I am not sure there is much wiggle room to do it right. Looking at when SWTOR says it takes place (3500 years before the events of the movies) and comparing it to http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian , the events of this time are covered in the section "The Great Galactic War". IMHO, the game already makes sense. This entry even makes the argument that the position in SWTOR of the smugglers on the Republic makes sense as well. As Fyurii said the closest thing at this time to Mandalorians jumping sides was dealt with by this time period's Mand'alor.
  3. First, I get quoted as making the PS1 comment. Then, me correcting that person gets quoted again as having made the comment.../sigh. I give a rats arse about anything dealing with The Secret World. My post was to comparing advertisements from 2 other games knocking WoW.
  4. This post reminded me of the advertisement campaign of yet another "failed" P2P game that went free to play. Anyone remember Global Agenda's "No Elves."
  5. I read someone else post this and it changed my thinking: "It makes sense that it is only 90% when you factor in that it is down a motor and pouring smoke and sparks." So people at 50 may wish to have the 110% on their travel speeder, but when you look at it as a novelty item and not a means of travel it all makes sense. It is not logical for the person who needs a Tier 3 speeder to get around. It does make sense to people that like odd speeders. To me it wouldn't make sense for a broken down old jalopy moving at the same pace as a Porsche.
  6. I have farmed enough tokens to get the speeder, the weapon, a full set of armor and buy the pet on 2 characters and didn't get luck. I would support BW changing the name of the training dummies to "RNG" just so people can take out frustrations.
  7. Just had it happen on 2 toons and then checked the forums...FFS. So Imps get a bug that allows them to complete the whole event on Day 1 in a space mission, while the Pubs get one on Day 2 that effectively shuts down the event unless they get compensated by Bioware. 0 melee rewards or pistols and a Tier 1 speeder for Level 50s. I survived "The Great Potato Event" of Hellgate: London (Guy Fawkes Day) and figured that would stand for all time as the worst in-game event ever. I stand corrected.
  8. Let me just say that I am the costume wearing kind of Star Wars fan and a huge PC gamer so this game had the potential to drain my wallet had it met expectations. By no means do I hate it but it just isn't for me anymore. A guild merger extended my subscription length but even that can't hold me anymore. 1) I can sum up the biggest reason with 1 word. TRUST You can say what you want about not having any details yet, but I have been burned once already by an EA F2P model. Pair that with half truths about the CE store, my observations of poor customer service and lack of QA on patches, and I do not trust Bioware with my gaming dollar. 2) Content. Though when many folks claim there is a content issue it is often because they didn't actually put in the effort to become part of a raid team to experience progression, that is not me. OK, so I haven't cleared Denova on HM yet, but I have done the raid group thing. Often 4 nights a week. The same content can only hold somebody for so long. Going back to #1, I cannot trust that content will keep coming in the F2P model when you already were getting $15 from everyone and it never did. 3) Ilum. More as a symptom than the actual planet and content. Ilum proved the engine was unstable with large battles. It also proved that Bioware is subject to admit defeat and pull the plug rather than trying to get it right. Sentinels are you surprised? I see a new planet coming now and have to wonder why they just couldn't have been working on Ilum. Countless good suggestions were made but alas,"we removed it" was the reply. 4) PVP. I PvP'd hard at release and had a Valor rank of 72 on my BH at 1.2 before re-rolling Republic and now my Vanguard is 76. Those who PvP'd at launch remember the grind that was Valor leveling. Kudos to those who can suffer through the same 4 PvP matches nonstop, but I can't any longer. So I hear there may be a new match style coming. But then there will only be 5 such maps to suffer through. And how long will it take for that? And where is the large scale warfare reminiscent of Hoth that would have made my Star Wars Wet dream? It died on Ilum. #1 FTW. 5) And lastly, Legacy. At the implementation of Legacy functionality I was Legacy level 35. I used to talk about it non-stop in Ventrilo. I was stoked. I anticipated Legacy patch day was going to be like Christmas morning with all the cool stuff that was going to be under the tree. True to expectations I had plenty of presents under the tree...THAT SANTA WAS CHARGING ME FOR. Look, I understand charging credits for some of that stuff but did we actually earn anything cool from Legacy level besides the emotes from having Legacy toons? At Legacy 50 I was hoping for some title to show off my efforts but nada. Alas, even Legacy requirements were brought down to cater to F2Pers. See #1 again. I am not saying I will never come back. I am a hard core Star Wars nerd and I still want this game to work for me.
  9. Says the guy hurling childish comments. I post a dictionary definition and you first tell me to get my "head out of my fifth point of contact" and then say "should I try spelling it out slower next time?" But everyone else is being childish...Ok. Aggressive, much? BTW: Check Darth Tyrannious' post...seems they did say it.
  10. Nice try, but you forget that the contents have already CHANGED once. And what is "forceful" over 10 items?
  11. Highlighted the key word. Now check definition 5. English FTW. World English Dictionary (from dictionary.referemce.com) dynamic (daɪˈnæmɪk) — adj 1. of or concerned with energy or forces that produce motion, as opposed to static 2. of or concerned with dynamics 3. Also: dynamical characterized by force of personality, ambition, energy, new ideas, etc 4. music of, relating to, or indicating dynamics: dynamic marks 5. computing Compare static (of a memory) needing its contents refreshed periodically [C19: from French dynamique, from Greek dunamikos powerful, from dunamis power, from dunasthai to be able] Or #3 from Merriam Webster Definition of DYNAMIC 1 also dy·nam·i·cal a : of or relating to physical force or energy b : of or relating to dynamics 2 : functional 1b <a dynamic disease> 3 a : marked by continuous usually productive activity or change <a dynamic population> b : marked by energy or forcefulness <a dynamic personality> —dy·nam·i·cal·ly adverb
  12. Done by a reasonable company, MTs are not bad. The reason I don't trust EA with micro-transactions is that I have seen them in action before. I was part of the Need for Speed World debacle. It was originally B2P with F2P to level 10. 6 weeks after launch they decided to shaft all the people who took part in the B2P and went F2P with micro-transactions. 6 weeks. The best cars are always bought with cash. Some of them can cost upwards of $30-$40. Not sure if it was changed, but for a while the best car parts came from "packs" that were bought with real cash. You only had a random chance to get them so the more you spent the better your odds. So in every way, the most real money spent won the races.
