Oh no, I played LOTRO. The character customization was no better, and I say this as a fan of that game. The character customization in TOR is not BAD. Could it be better? Well yeah, with games like Skyrim and the earlier WWE games, the bar is set pretty high. But for an MMO the customization is just fine. Do I want more? Well yeah I want more of EVERYTHING. That doesnt mean what is there now is bad

They are playing the "Spacebar" storyline. Basically everything seems the same to them because they arent acctually playing the game

Warrior Storyline was great, and ive played most of the BH so far and loved that even more.

Either you missed the point of my post entirely, or you didnt understand my sarcasm in that first sentence...

Well, there is also the point that through most the of the leveling you acctually arent in open conflict. The sides are gearing up for war and any open agression is seen as a breach of the treaty. So it makes more sense to pick one lone ****** to get the job done than send in an entire platoon, which is definately going to take notice. Its not until Illum that full scale war errupts.

"So so everyone is aware: There is a sweet infographic that shows the energy output of typical weapons for Star Trek and Star Wars ships/beam weapons. FYI --> A single X-Wing would completely and totally trash the star ship enterprise as if it were made of paper. Why? because the Phasers of the Enterprise, using a primitive Dylithium-based fusion power supply, are incredibly under powered. A single sustained salvo from the X-Wing's Tibana-spin sealed gas powered Laser-blasters (which are not actually supercharged light particles, but supercharged GAS encased in a phased energy shell that creates tremendous energy upon rupture/contact) would overload the Enterprise's shields, and tear gigantic holes in its armor. The PROTON torpedo is a matter-destablizing weapon, meaning it would be completely unaffected by the Enterprise/Borg Cube/Romulan War-Bird's shielding, which is strictly energy based. Also travel through hyperspace is equivalent to traveling at Warp Factor 9, and all Star Wars ships can do that for sustained amounts of time. Did I mention that the Borg wouldn't last more than 2 minutes against a team of Bothan slicers, who would create a tech-bug so powerful every Borg in the universe would instantly shut down?" An old qupte I saved from a very long time ago when this arguement was much more popular than it is now. Star Trek and Star Wars just cannot be compared. Star trek took the more realistically obtainable approach, and as a result the Star Trek universe gets roflstomped by anything from the Star Wars universe, which is insanely overpowered by comparison. Plus, you just cant fight against the Force. EDIT: That being said, Star Trek is awesome

At first I was like "No WAY that speeder was gonna cost a million credits" and then I realised you ment the VIP lounge band. Well...thats kinda useless too. Not much in there. That being said, I do agree with you.

It says 4 because I believe there was one for every rank in the beta, but they took out half of them and put the rank 4 title on rank 5. So thats the new rank 5.

Where are people getting the assumption that the mount was going to scale? Why would you think that it does? Where does that idea come from? I dont understand that one. I HAVE the DDE. I dont complain about it. Sure, its mostly useless after level 40, but it still looks cool. I never expected the best speeder in the game, that would be stupid of them to sell. The flare gun and everything else does exactly what it says on the tin. The only one I think is a waste is the combat probe thing. I wish it just followed me

Yeah, because KOTOR I and II totally took you into full sized warzones with dozens of troops. Face it, there are more NPCs on the battlefield in this game than there EVER were in Kotor. This basically IS Kotor 3. If they had made KOTOR 3 isntead of this, it would look very much the same but without all the MMO stuff in it. They have said time and again that this IS essentially Kotor 3. The only difference is in KOTOR you could have two companions at a time. In this game you can have 3 friends though, so that makes up for it. And to the OP While I do wish that everyone once in a while I could have some support (and on a few missions you DO get support...the NPCs arent any good, but they do stand there and shoot at the enemy), some of your arguements can be easily countered. Yeah, they are in a war. Thats exactly why they dont have troops to spare. The troops are all off guarding stuff and fighting elsewhere. You are the shock troops, the special forces. You are delta force, the navy seals, and the Rangers all rolled into one. A few missions off the top of my head where you do get squad support. One of the bounty hunter missions requires you to retake a ship. As you complete objectives more imperials show up to help fight the republic. On Voss there is a mission to help commandos fight their way to the Gormak King. When you first run into them they are fighting Gormak and help(not much though lol) In the Boarding Party flashpoint if you complete bonus objectives they send in squads of three to help you. So there are times when you get support. The focus is suppost to be on you though. Your companion is the support. You dont need a squad of republic commandos to help you take out a communications array, you can go blow that thing up quietly and quickly on your own. EDIT: The only times I feel like its dumb for there not to be a lot of troops supporting me are on some of the final assault missions on planets. Its usually you agianst a thousand enemies and their leader, with no backup in sight. THAT is where I take issue and agree. But that isnt every planet. (Balmora in particular was really dumb about that.)

Sometimes they wont talk to you again until you have progressed in your story some more. I remember I have Vette at 8000 and she wouldnt talk to me at all. Suddenly I completed one class mission and I was able to talk to her like 7 times in a row. Same happened today on my bounty hunter character with Mako.

haha indeed. Gotta scale it down for the game.

The problem with having speeders moving at 300-600kmp/h is that you cant really control and react fast enough to ride that thing. The lore even has an escuse for how the troopers were able to ride bikes that fast. Their helmets had advanced systems that basically allowed them to see the path ahead of them so they could react ahead of time rather than on the fly. Only trained pilots could make turns on a vehicle moving 600 kmp/h.

Yeah, tatooine wasnt that bad. I acctually liked tattooine. Everything was easy to get to, and even the open areas didnt feel tedious to go through. Its kind of sad that I found the endless sands of the dune sea to be more entertaining and interesting that the grass fields of Voss or the prison blocks of Belsavis.

Regardless of what they are designed for, Im certain there will be faster speeders in future updates, and its not like they are going to keep you from going to old planets once you have those faster speeders. So its going to be an issue sooner or later. Besides, there isnt a single planet I can think of that would acctually experience any problems if faster speeders were implemented. What is the worst that could happen?

Cats, the bane of everyone with a computer! I can't tell you how many times Ive been watching a stream from a Starcraft II game and one player has to pause the game, or gets entirely taken out of it, because their cat jumped on the keyboard and knocked over stuff and screwed stuff up. Its become a bit of a joke in the community really. Like the "dog ate my homework" thing. haha

So you want the first speeder to move at barely faster than running? Who would even pay for a vehicle that moved at running speed? A bike, as in one you acctually peddle, moves faster than that! Nein, the speeders are slow enough as it is. No need to make things more tedious.

Well technically in Star Wars lore they have a technology called Repulsorlift that is used in conjunction with regular engines. In essence, this is anti-gravity. It is what keeps the speeder off the ground, while the engines are what propel it. Its what allowed the speeder bikes in RotJ to hover even when no one was on them. So speed isnt a factor in keeping flight in Star Wars.

Thats a problem? Riding the 50 speeder you can go through the mobs anyway and unless its a boss or something you are pretty much guranteed to just keep on going. Heck, you can do this with the 40 speeder sometimes too. The only speeder that requires you to go around mobs is the first one. Id LIKE a speeder that lets me speed past the trash mobs faster. Who wants to stick around to fight a mob that you dont need to fight, especially at 50.

I think the speeders need to be faster. Now, Im realistic too. They will NEVER be the speed of the speeders in the movies. Those things moved far to fast for an MMO. However, when Im sitting on my speeder cruisin across the planet I never really feel like Im in a vehicle ment to realisticly transport me anywhere. The scenary around me does not go by fast enough. They are just too slow They dont need to move at lightspeed. I'd love to see the 40 speeder be 150% and the 50 speeder be 200% That would be proper speed and realistically obtainable for the game. The upgrades would feel more worth it, and each speeder would be much better than the last.

As others have said, the gear viewer uses the lowest rez textures. To prove it preview one item, then hit preview again. It takes it off in the viewer and you instantly notice the texture difference on your gear. That being said, the gear isnt SPECTACULAROMGWTBBQ!!!!111!!1 when outside the viewer either, but its an MMO so thats expected.

Open your character menue(Should be a button on the top of the screen, or you can access it by pushing the C button if you havent rebound that key to anything else) Click your name at the top and it will drop down with a list of titles.

Thats what I thought. It would be really weird if they did.

Does cunning increase their healing ability? I have no idea, haven't rolled a healer yet(though I am going to roll a healer trooper...so that'd be good knowledge to have, haha!)

Wait...the agent can use an assault cannon?! O_o I thought it was assault rifles for the Ops and sniper rifles for the snipers. EDIT: HAHA! I knew I wasnt crazy!
