  1. No, I do not think you are talking specifically about only raiding. I'm just addressing only the parts that you mentioned, which is called not making assumptions. Something you are good at. You can't even guess at my age, so why bother other than to be a condescending troll. Partially my fault for feeding you in the first place I suppose. I give up, think what you want, you obviously aren't open to any sort of sensible conversation.
  2. Show me anything in my post that says it's acceptable to test nothing but the leveling experience. Anything. What I was actually saying is that your assertion of everything being untested is false. Which, incidentally, it is. You evidently didn't get the point of my post did you? Everything was tested to some degree. Are you going to tell me no one has cleared any of the operation bosses? Are you going to tell me that no one is currently running successful raiding guilds? There are several on my server alone. I'm not a fanboy, I'm just a gamer that likes to think before I spout. Does it take thought on your part to make sure that what you post is as far from reality as possible? Because if it does I commend your dedication. If it doesn't? Why do you insist of posting utter nonsense. I have two accounts, I've reached 50 on one of them, and am just enjoying myself on the other. The game works for the most part. Is everyone happy? No. Is that normal? Yes. This is an argument that says, "Bioware, my tiny little part of the game doesn't work." then someone else says, "Yes it does. But my tiny little part of the game doesn't work." The truth is the experience is different for many people because of a vast amount of things. Stop pigeon holing what is frankly a MASSIVE game and set of content into the tiny most negative bracket you can find.
  3. To the people posting that no aspect of this game is polished or finished: rubbish, take your head out of what ever niche of sand you've buried it in and look at the game as a whole objectively. Not just from the point of view of what you have to gain from it. Before someone comes back with, "but I paid for the game..." yata yata yata, well so did literally a million other folk and Bioware have the tough challenge of figuring out which parts to cater to when and in what balance for the whole community. To the people saying that ever other mmo launching similarly is not an excuse, stop for two seconds and consider why every other mmo launching has had the same problem? Could it be every company rushing for a money grap? No, blizzard don't do that and launch a game when they believe its ready. Could it be inherent difficulties in detecting bugs in a game with so much maths and interaction at such a diverse level? Could it be that there is no way to test a game to its playable capacity short of having several MILLION beta testers? (If I have to explain to you why this is so difficult to do, you shouldn't really be involved in this debate in the first place). To presume that because a bug is present in its current form in this iteration means that it has been present in all the previous iterations and missed is also rubbish. Sometimes new additions or code cause bad unforeseen interactions or code crossing that leads to new, sometimes trivial bugs, some times large bugs. Yes I admit there will be persistant bugs that have been there since beta, but to pretend you understand why they haven't been fixed or that you have any incite into why they should have been is just entitled. Because the truth is if you were in a position to understand, through work experience or other qualifications, you wouldn't be in this debate in the first place. You'd have rolled your eyes at how narrowly people are looking at it, and moved on to a more thought out thread. A small challange before you flame me, and if you don't do it you are only cheating yourself: Stop and think for a second, about how many different tracked items, interactions, collisions and options this game has for one character. Then admit to yourself that there are a lot more that you haven't thought of, then realise that there are a lot more that you couldn't have thought of because they are hidden / maths / cpu based. Then consider how large the game is and how many of these interactions can happen at once. And then consider how many people play this game on any given day at any given time. ****. Will. Go. Wrong. Give them time and they'll sort it out. It might have been reasonably polished to them when they launched it only to find out under extreme capacity circumstances that there is a lot more broken than they realised. I'm not doing a TL: DR. If you didn't read it all, then you are part of the problem with this debate.
  4. That's two fixed, btw. The talents in the Focus tree are geared towards a skill you use to dump focus, not generate it. I think it would take a little more balancing than simply switching them to the other skill.
  5. You are very wrong about Obi Wan. How did Obi Wan over come Darth Maul? He once held his lightsaber to the throat of the man that killed the woman he loved, and very nearly lost himself. Obi Wan Kenobi fell in love - count em - three times in his life. One of which when he was a full Master during the clone wars. Which might explain his lenience with the Padme situation. The jedi do not evidently have as black and white a perspective as you appear to think. Consider the founding of the sith empire. Discord among the jedi about the very nature of the force let to the exile of the dark jedi. Not the destruction, they simply would not have them as part of their order. The violence only came much later, when the dark jedi became intent on imposing their will on others. There is much evidence to show that it isn't the /SITH/ aspect of a person they object to, but that those people tend towards the same thing - acts of horror and violence. What about all the dark jedi / sith that have changed sides and been accepted? What about the chances many a jedi have given for the sith to surrender, or be convinced that the dark side isn't the only way. The fact that there were two philosophies of the force: unifying and living. This on its own is evidence that the jedi have a variety of beliefs, opinions and positions on the force. Mace Windu's variant of form VII. Frankly, the list goes on and on. I'm pretty tired right now, but I'll finish with this. As to the bit about personal preference, and essentially looking for what we want to see in the dialogue. I think you'll find that should you take the line on its own, free from context it makes no sense. But should you consider the scene before, and the scene its said in, there is no searching for anything at all. The line makes perfect, self-explanatory sense in much the same way subject-less sentences do in everyday use.
  6. I see this debate a lot, and it makes me really quite sad. A large part of the English language is in leaving implicit information out of dialogue because its unrequited. Obi Wan and Vader's exchange on that planet was about choosing a side, morality, and righteousness. He was in NO WAY stating that 'only' the Sith deal in 'Absolutes' for everything. He was meaning that it was the Sith position, not the Jedi position that you were an ally or an enemy. That there was a 'right' way to do anything. The Sith believe that the power of the darkside is absolute and incontrovertible, but the Jedi believe in a living, changing force and that the only true power is in a balance of both. He was implying that although he could not agree with Vaders point of view, he still (barely) held some love and affection for him - which was subsequently let go when he realised how far Vader had really fallen. The statement makes perfect sense, unless read on its own as a standalone statement to the universe. And in those circumstances Obi Wan would of course never have said it. What you have done is essentially as follows: "Where are you going? "The shops." "The shops what?" "I'm going to the shops..." "Well why didn't you say?" "Uh, I did." You've completely pretended the context didn't exist.
  7. If you do it correctly, you will be given light side option choices. Overall you may still earn DS point,s but they will be swamped by the rest of your LS choices.
  8. If you play as a Jedi Knight and are asked to go to the temple ruins the character has the option of mentioning how long ago it was since the temple was sacked. Implied, possibly even says, that it was more than 20 years ago. This would add 20 years or more onto her age at the sacking of Coruscant. Which would make her at least 50.
