  1. I'd like to believe it is something they are working on, but knowing EA's corporate greed I can only imagine it will be something that comes later on and is only available through cartel packs so they can make some extra money off of what should be an in game feature.
  2. Destiny is not an MMO...and it has no semblance of story what so ever...
  3. To be honest we saw Darth Maul return from being cut in half and long thought/left for dead. Anything is possible.
  4. Disagree with just about everything the OP says, but I think part of the problem with the anti-social aspect of SWTOR is the companion system. They wanted to make KOTOR 3 and then tried to make it an MMO instead of just making a Star Wars MMO. There is no need for teammates when you have a companion you have to keep geared up as you go through the game, especially once you get a healer companion, there is really no need to request help with certain content. Star Trek Online did this same thing giving you bridge officers, so you essentially had a CPU team that you could control of 4 characters that you could gear and customize yourself and set up their buffs/debuffs so you never had to worry about finding someone else to play with or team up with. Personally that has always been my biggest gripe with this game, the companion system, to me it really provides no incentive to go out and find other people to play with, unless we're talking about flashpoints/operations etc. at end game. SWTOR to me has always felt like a single player RPG with the class stories, Makeb, and SOR, but has some "group" content available at end game if you want to play it.
  5. What sucks is I've tried to make a Rattataki (or however you spell it...its 4 am here...blah...) close to Ventress and just can't seem to be able to pull it off...
  6. I don't think that's it quite honestly, I just found her to be an annoying character, but I feel that same way about Anakin as well. Just the way she was written/acted I guess. Maybe it's the fact that they were paired up together and it just made it worse overall. The Ashoka later on in Rebels wasn't too bad, so maybe this is somehow Anakin's fault...lol
  7. Nadia...to me she is the best of them all, just wish she was available to the knight as well. She is so curious about everything and eager to learn and I think she is one of the few you truly get to be a master to and teach her about the force. Just a shame you get her so late in the Consular story.
  8. This will be me. Shaak Ti is one of my all time favorite characters in the SW universe and much more worthy of being cloned than Ashoka.... My opinion of course, I found Ashoka to be one of the most annoying characters of the Clone Wars series.
  9. I to am concerned about it only being "one" story basically. I personally didn't care much for how Makeb/Revan are basically the same for everyone. I really enjoyed running the class stories all the way through, but I honestly at this point have no desire to run Makeb or Revan again with additional characters. Revan was especially bad, it was like "here's a bunch of flashpoints and no real developed story, go play." Have utterly no desire to play through SOR again on any of my characters right now, other than to get some of the gear/mods.
  10. You'd be surprised actually. Open communication with the community would be something welcome I'm sure and as long as they have a reasonable explanation for it and emphasize they don't want to release them until they are 100% ready with no head tendrils (or whatever they are) clipping through robes, etc. than I really don't think there will be that much backlash. Waiting until the last minute and basically just pulling a "sorry not ready yet" card is a surefire way to ensure people are angry and raging on the forums. Basically it would just be nice to see EA/Bioware be proactive for once instead of reactive when it comes to things like this. Keeping people in the dark when they are worried about patch notes/changes and then springing surprises at the last minute before the patch comes out is a great way to piss off your community. Being proactive and addressing possible issues with clear communication well in advance is a good way to keep your community informed and less likely to blow up. It also builds goodwill with your players. Just my two cents...
  11. Opened 2 so far, got the speeder on both, brown/brownish dye and the Carbonite out of combat health regen emote thing.
  12. While I wouldn't say there is a severe lack of endgame, there is limited endgame, especially compared to a lot of other MMOs. That is one of the reasons I am somewhat concerned when Bioware says they are focusing so much on story for KFE. The story is the best part of SWTOR easily, but it wouldn't kill them to really give us a lot more endgame focused content. As it stands right now I really feel no need to even get on my 60s other than to run some stuff to make credits for my alts. End game crafting to me is non-existent and pointless and basically everytime I've reached 60 with a toon I just feel like ok...now lets go start another class story since that's where 99% of the content seems to be in this game.
  13. Don't think this is true. I recently came back last month and playing on my 55 I was getting XP from mobs and daily completions and everything else even though I hadn't bought SOR yet. I was almost 56 when I finally purchased the expansion.
  14. Glad they are focusing on story and really hope they revamp the companions a bit and allow us to make permanent decisions regarding them as you could in the beta. Also going to be interesting to see the new companions and the whole alliance/betrayal thing that will be involved with it. However I still am a bit worried they are too focused on story. My main gripe with SWTOR right now is just an overall lack of quality end game content. I get to level 60 with a character and just feel like, "Ok...now which class story can I play again?" End game in SWTOR just bores me to death and crafting seems about pointless since you can buy much better items and modifiable armor on the cartel market. Doesn't help that my main is artifice, which has been made utterly useless by the CM. Why would I waste time RE'ing all those purple level crystals when people can just slot one at level 10 that is better than anything I can ever craft? As of right now I just find the "end game" extremely boring and my main toon just became a money machine for my leveling alts.
  15. I report for spam/block user, etc. but then I have 2-3 more come in the next day advertising the same web address for it.
  16. I'd put Voss up there as well, sometimes it is more annoying seeing as they pack the roads and travel paths with mobs/elites to make travel time take even longer if you can't avoid the aggro. I remember the first time I got to Corellia, I had flashbacks to questing in WOW everything was so spread out and poorly designed in terms of quest routes/turn ins. What's funny is I used to hate Taris with a passion on pub side, but then doing the last few planets in most of the pub questlines made me realize it isn't so bad compared to Voss/Belsavis/Corellia/Hoth.
  17. Day 1 Sub/Pre-order here. Have left for months at a time, come back for a few months, so on and so forth. This game can be both great and incredibly frustrating/content lacking at the same time. The new expansion really needs to be incredible or I'm probably finally going to hang it up with this game. Shadow of Revan was pretty much awful and just "here go do flashpoints" w/o any real focus on the story or class story. I'm thinking maybe that is why they are hyping the new expansion as being so story driven and saying they are returning to Bioware storytelling. Time will tell.
  18. Shadow is a late bloomer, especially compared to a lot of the other classes. My main is a 60 Shadow, but it took awhile to get there and a lot of love. I hated it early, especially when I only had Qyzen, but things do get better after you get Theran for heals. Even after that though the class can take a bit of work. I know it has been awhile and they've made a lot of changes since I leveled mine up, but I remember hating my Shadow pretty much all the way up through Belsavis, but then once I finally got most of the powers in sync and got some decent gear, it became a lot of fun to use. Just a late blooming class and that turns some people off.
  19. I just hope the story telling is good behind it all. I know they said they were going to try to go back to a "mass effect'" type story telling for this expansion, but the overall scheme of the enemy just seems far too much like Revan and the Revanites in terms of taking out both factions so they can unite/rule the universe. It is also going to be quite interesting how they explain everything to bring us up to current events, considering where we've left off prior to the expansion and we're all of a sudden supposed to believe there's this huge new faction/empire out there that no one knew about and they just magically appear to wreck havoc on the galaxy. While I'm pretty excited for the new expansion, there is still a lot of room for them to screw things up in terms of massive plot holes, etc. if they don't tie it all together nicely or if they just set us out on this entirely new direction compared to where the game has been going. Also I no longer consider Darth Vader scary or awesome like he used to be. The prequels completely ruined Vader for me and compared to some of the SWTOR villains, he is an absolute sissy now.
  20. Anyone else having trouble with the daily? I've literally done 5 circles around Anchorhead and not found one infected citizen to use the mission item on. Very annoying.
  21. It is not the connection. I have one of the best connections money can buy from my ISP and this game still lags like crazy. It has been worse since that group of Troll people or whoever they were took the game offline a few days back. Even in PVE, I get lag spikes every 2-3 minutes and at least one server DC per hour. It's ridiculous. All the other MMOs I play are fine, as well as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Halo online multiplayer. It is not the connection.
  22. Have you had any response to this? I also bought the Varactyl and when I opened the mount it did not add to my collection.
  23. The only issues with crystals is the CM crystals have basically made that aspect of artifice useless. I now have tons of crystals I can craft that nobody wants to buy and you'd be stupid to use any of them anyways because you can get one at level 10 that outclasses anything I can make for levels 1-50. Personally I would like to see them drop all stats from crystals and just make them cosmetic. Honestly it was a bit of shame they made purple available on the CM from packs. Used to be you could feel proud and accomplished for having managed to get one, now it's just run of the mill.
  24. Some people just enjoy having a lot of characters. Me personally I have 16 on one server and all but a handful of them are Empire. I play all of them but 2-3 of them are my main focus. I'll have friends who sometime try the game out so I'll roll a new character to level up with them and show them the ropes. Plus you can try out all the skill trees, and sometimes it's just fun to roll a pure blood Sith Jedi Knight, or a Chiss smuggler, even if you already have one of that class. Some of us just have altitis. I played City of Heroes for 8 years and had 50+ characters.
  25. I think the reason on the pricing of the Varactyl is they know people will buy it. They are incredibly rare and this is a sure thing. I know I've never got one in any of the packs I've opened and have seen stories on the forums where people have opened 60-100 packs and never seen one. The amount of them on the exchange would confirm this as there are only 1-2 pages of them normally and the cheapest you can find is around 2 million credits. A lot of players will probably use the logic of it's easier to drop 2400 CCs on it than spending that same amount on packs and getting a lot of worthless crap you can't even sell back on the exchange for reasonable credits. I think that is what they are banking on putting it there for 2400. I personally was tempted, but figure that it would be easier to just grind my dailies until I got 2-3 million credits. I imagine this is 2400, and then another insane amount to unlock it in your collection for all characters to use.
