A dev shouldn't have to say things like that. Its sugar coating BS and most will see right through it. The latest statement on Makeb (before this announcement) was that they were still not sure if it was going to be paid content or not. If you recall, the release date for TOR changed several times.
-
Id like to think that everyone knows that nothing is set in stone by now. Its also all about wording. Did anyone say "Absolutely, Makeb will without a doubt be released by the end of 2012"? There are no guarantees in the gaming business.

So much for not charging subs for Makeb
Obiwansghost replied to Lucyfer_Infinity's topic in General Discussion
I remember a game called SWG, and there was an expansion that was basically one planet (Mustafar) and if I remember correctly I paid 30 bucks for that. Now, granted that was around the time of the NGE and a lot of people got their money back yadda yadda. My point being, there have been skimpy expansions that were in the range of 30-40 that didn't include a level cap increase. For $9.99, this sounds just about right. Who cares what was said months ago, people have since gotten laid off and other projects have no doubt been cancelled (guild ships anyone?). Lets be happy that we are getting something like this at all. -
It puts the lotion in the basket Put the ....... lotion in the basket! It put the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again Wait...what is this I don't even...

The game after updates is roughly 20 gigabytes. I hope you have A LOT of cd's or a flash drive.

I said nothing about anyone being bad players. You all jumped on my response just because I said it wasn't needed. I insulted no one and I provided reasons why I think neither of the OP suggestions are needed. Okay, not everyone wants to use voice, fair enough. Use chat then....1 ready 2 not ready. Can you (the OP/guild leader) not scroll up and count how many people are ready/not ready? I think TOR is an amazing game and I just think that certain little things are not hard to do yourself.
-
Take better control of your TS/vent/mumble. Is it really that hard to do that? Nope, people have been communicating that way for many years.
-
Why do you need a guild calender? If your guild doesn't have a website by now...your way behind. Even better, make a guild page on Facebook and make events that way...hell its free. Ready check? My god, people complain so much that TOR is a WoW clone and this is why. Get teamspeak/vent/mumble and communicate that way. These are vanity features and just because they are in that "other" game, it doesn't mean TOR needs them.
-
You're probably right, I just meant that in the grand scheme of things...TOR was their vision and now they are gone. I just hope that their vision for TOR has been passed on and not completely gone.

It was on Facebook about 5 minutes ago but it suddenly disappeared. This is the best I could find http://www.bioware.com/archive/bioware TOR is SCREWED.

Disappointed with limits to who can create Aug Kits
Obiwansghost replied to earthtoearl's topic in General Discussion
Lets suggest they do it like crafting was in SWG. Okay, you need this component from this crafting profession (which they will need to get components from 2 OTHER crafting professions), you ALSO need 3 other components from a profession that NO ONE plays anymore...then just then you can craft aug kits. Happy? Thought so. Just reroll. You could've already rerolled your crafting profession weeks ago if you would've just logged onto the PTS (or read the patch notes) weeks ago. -
So I was on my Jedi's Starship and.....
Obiwansghost replied to Darth_Victus's topic in General Discussion
You were on your ship. The plural of Jedi is Jedi. For the love of all things sacred, ITS JEDI! I know you know this, because you actually did it later in your post. I dunno bout your companions, but mine stand in one place all day. -
Microtransactions will be in every EA game
Obiwansghost replied to Drom's topic in General Discussion
You do realize that MT's can mean anything from paid transfers to fluff in game right? Also, as far as I'm concerned EA has their name on TOR because of BW and nothing more. I would expect that things that may be true for EA games, aren't automatically applied to Bioware games. -
244 people in fleet, still takes 5+ minutes to get a warzone going?
Obiwansghost replied to Roshy's topic in PvP
Wouldn't surprise me. I have watched a few live streams of WoW arenas/BG's etc and they always get so irate when they have to wait more than 2 minutes for a que to pop. Here is what is strange, on my old server (Rubat Crystal) right up until transfers, wz's were popping quite consistently. Now, on The Ebon Hawk I find myself waiting much longer than 5-10 minutes for a que to pop. IMO transfers didn't help much on that front. -
I'm sorry but, for the most part I vote for the person who did the most healing. For the simple fact that I have rarely won a warzone without at least 2 healers. But I do understand where you are coming from. In Voidstar, I can get over 40 kills and have defender medals and still no MVP votes. Again, as I see the MVP votes add up, its usually the healers that get them. Equally deserved IMO. Perhaps have different MVP votes, in other words Healer MVP DPS MVP maybe a defender MVP (though that really doesn't work for Huttball). I would like to see a more diverse MVP system.

I know this may come to a shock to you, but TOR is a Theme park MMO. I know, shocking right? These kind of quests aren't unique to just theme park MMO's. SWG was filled with these boring quests as is EQ2. IF your looking to get away from it, I hear Hello Kitty Online has none of these types of quests. Worth a shot.

Free Character Transfers Now Available On Select Servers
Obiwansghost replied to CourtneyWoods's topic in General Discussion
Why all the hate? They gave a reasonable explanation, you don't have to like it...why not just accept it? Major things rarely happen on Fridays anyway, in any MMO. How often do you see a major patch released on a Friday? -
Bioware here is a thought to consider for your naming policy
Obiwansghost replied to RaithHarth's topic in Suggestion Box
When I transferred, I was of course prompted to change my name. Eh, okay no really issue there. So I went with my standby, which because it is an unusual name it was available. The only suggestion I have is that there is a random name generator available when you are forced to change your name. It came up with my name in SWG when I made my toon there years ago. Ultimately, this solved the issue of many wanting a new legacy name. -
Chill out...its the summer! The game has only been out for 6 months! School is out for the...oh wait. A positive population thread? Say it isn't so! I logged into The Ebon Hawk after transferring and I was pleasantly surprised to see over a 100 people on the fleet. I am enjoying this (again)!
-
Instead of relying on lists that aren't really updated, go to your account and click on character transfers. There's a much more robust list there.

do you lose mail when transferring servers?
Obiwansghost replied to illgot's topic in General Discussion
Yes, mail is deleted upon transfer. -
You will get two emails per toon transferred. One to let you know that the transfer started and one once the process is done. You really don't have to que your toons, they will all go through at the same time. I'm impressed. First toon was transferred in 10 minutes and the second one was done in nine. So much better than SWG transfers. Well done BW.

Why did you choose PvE, RP-PvE, PvP or RP-PvP?
Obiwansghost replied to Elfindreams's topic in General Discussion
RP-PvE wasn't my choice. I was part of the vocal minority of my guild. I wanted to go to a regular PvE server. I don't have anything against RP as I was on Starsider for many years and that was the unoffical SWG RP server. -
So we went from a Light server to a Light server
Obiwansghost replied to Cial's topic in General Discussion
I suspect that the bolded is a typo, because transfers from Rakata to Bastion server wouldn't help Rakata at all. You would see a gain on Bastion. For the self entitled crowd, you are paying to access the servers and nothing more. BW didn't have to do anything or they could've charged for the transfers. Its also the first day. Rome (WoW) wasn't built in a day either.
