  1. Except Malastare certainly has a better grasp of programming than you do on the throne of England.

     

    What he said is largely correct, aside from the specifics of SWTOR's code, which we would never know unless they released that information. Only that is conjecture based on educated guesses.

     

    And you as an expert game developer can confirm that what he wrote was "largely correct"? You people and your "expert" opinion about swtor is laughable and pitiable at the same time.

  2. and wonder why 1) talking about datamined information is against rules 2) closed PTS have NDAs associated with them because any thing on there is subject to change and when taken out of context people would be jumping at shadows every update and complaining when something is added/removed etc. Its not like people on here never over react to anything and everything. Look at this thread, its 1000% pure speculation based on some datamined/leaked information that nobody really has any context for and we're falling over each other to blast it and complain about it.

     

    IF (and thats a BIG IF) something gets released THEN you are free to complain, until then its out of context and pure speculation and imo shouldn't even be discussed.

     

    someone somewhere is breaking the NDAs and IMO they should be permabanned (you can get fired and SUED for breaking NDA) for doing so. anyone pointing or discussing datamined information should get a nice vacation.

     

    No they should not be permabanned, EAWare Austin should pay them for the advertisement they are doing for SWToR. Of course there are a few who are crying like babies over companion change and level down option but mostly these leaks are generating massive positive feedback and attention from those who never even tried swtor before and those until now considered it a "pricey WoW clone", not to mention active players, i have seen a lot of feedback in reddit like these. And without a doubt with 4.0 this game will see a major influx of players even if force awaken movie doesn't get released. They could have kept the classes untouched but overall most changes that are coming will be good for the game and EAWare Austin should reward the dataminers and nada breakers since they are the ones getting SWToR this much positive attention.

  3. Why do you think they decided to give away entire sets of high-tier gear so easily?

     

    Because even then they were planning this BS, useless, pointless move to "auto-statting" companions and making their gear useless.

     

    And i will be much more happy if they make companions "pointless" PvP situation too. Companion gearing was nothing but BS in the 1st place, at least it was to me, i never found it a must do to gear them up beyond basic end game gears, using them in group content is just saying "we have less players playing the game so use companions to fill the gap". And PvP for companion was BS of highest order, "player" VS "player" should not include npc companion that is not part of a class mechanics(for example hunter pets in WoW or warlock demons). i hope EAWare Austin remove companion participation in PvP. those of you who are crying for companion gear, i pity you, there are much more important thing to cry about, new ops, pvp map, improving the overall performance of game client are few to name but you decide to complain about something so trivial.

  4. What you're missing is that it makes all advancement pointless, all levels pointless, all gear pointless...

     

    If you can't really advance because you're always "nerfed to the content", then what's the point?

     

    No, not really, because if you are equipping 65 dark crystal gears and you have been leveled down you will still have +X(number depends on which gear you are equipped with) more mastery and endurance and a lot of secondary stats than someone who is genuinely at low level. Your gear and advancement WILL matter.

  5. Ok i have been talking to a game reviewer who was invited for testing of kotfe, according to him/her :-

     

    1. Level down is forcefully activated for testing purpose. If the feature makes into live version it will be optional.

    2. They are having trouble with leveling down, for example some players are doing level 60 damage while being in a level 15 fp and vice versa. So if they can't fix these issues, we won't see level down in kotfe.

    3. Leveling down in fp will only happen if we queue thorough GF, we can still manually enter as 60/65 and help our lowbie buddies. Same with open world. But if we complete fp/heroic through level down we will get extra reward. And if level down doesn't get fixed we will not see them in fp or worlds, in fp we will all be bolstered to 65 or something since bolster works as it is now(kind of).

    4. They were thinking of level down on level 50, 55 and 60 SM ops but that will not happen now since they have no time to tune level down for ops too.

     

    And that is about it. So no need to fuss over it, the feature might not even make it in game.

  6. They want do it, but problem is game drops fps and for them is unplayable :jawa_tongue:

     

    HAHAHAHA....

     

    If they don't have ideas, they shouldn't be doing level increase at all. Really, of all things people will complain, NOT geting 5 levels more to grind is probably the last one. PVE is centerd on gear progression, PVP is centered on gear progression, storymodes doesn't even care.

     

    Or, if you can't provide new skills, provide new utilities! You have the great sistem for experimenting invented already, just expand it! You gave more utilities - you already are half way there! Just toss in 1 or more extra points, and -SURPRISE!- you just expanded class with minimal effort in it

     

    That could absolutely work, new skill and utility points without raising level cap. And they could have done it through an alternate progression system and they could even call it "outlander level". But i think they are just totally out of idea as to how they could do it without totally unbalancing the classes.

     

    Out of idea's but not lazy...good one. How about we settle for less than abysmal effort?

     

    That is why i said i would not touch things that are already working.

  7. I think at this point devs are out of ideas, they are not lazy, they are just out of ideas, they have no idea how to add more abilities for a class according to it's lore while keeping the number of abilities to a minimum. thus all the class will now get some type of mobility skill and some skills are being pushed back. I hate to be in their shoes right now but i would not have touched something that is already working, that is just asking for more trouble. What are they going to do when they will have to raise level cap again?
  8. Storm at 61?? guys what the big stinking pile of piece of trash is this??? you guys want us to play PT/VG tank at all? the level of incompetence you guys are showing with class changes this dlc is beyond anything i imagined. horrible guys, just horrible.

     

    At this point you guys are thinking : "it is ok guys, we have the Star Wars name, so no matter what kind of trash we throw at these morons they will just eat it up and we will be even more rich!!"

  9. They never said companion crits for crew skill are going away, please stop making issues out of thin air. It's true we are losing individual companion crew skill bonus but now all companions will be suitable for all crew skills. And currently we get bonus efficiency and crit at affection 10K, that will stay as it is as far as they have mentioned. And we might get even more bonus with more influence/affection, so please be patient until official info release.
  10. Theron and Lana are "bi-sexual" (they will boink anyone, regardless of gender) its biowares lazy way of getting everyone to shut up and not complain they are being left out/discriminated against, with the added "bonus" for them of only having to deal with 2 npcs overall instead two per class. (Seperate Male and female romances)

     

    They did it in Dragon Age 2. Everyone but Sebastion, who was a DLC companion, was bisexual.

     

    Dont that make ya feel special, they dont care what you are, only that you have parts they can "use" :p

     

    I was reading an article on homosexuals in hollywood several years ago(it was on the front page of yahoo.com on that day), there was this actress(totally forgot her name) in 40's, she was very famous and she was the 1st to admit she was lesbian but later she said she did not say she was lesbian, she said that she just leans both ways. She also said that there are not lesbian or homosexual in hollywood, we are all bisexuals here. I think bioware took her sentiment to heart :D

  11. Using your own logic against you...you're probably one of the ones thats too lazy or cheap to equip amd min/max you're own companions in order to keep up with those that do.

     

    and your statement about should also make anyone that doesnt cause the initial damage locked out of the pvp fight because its not "Player Vs Player". It is not nor ever really been PVP but is Player('s) vs Player{'s} or as in SWTor FVF (Faction vs Faction) except in some WZ arena's. In all actuality, what happens in most cases is it's Mob vs a single player, mostly Imp mob ganking single Rep.

     

    This is an open world zone's Faction single or multiple player against an opposite faction single or multiple player where companions are part of the factions also. In most open world PVP zones its multiple players ganking single players not a contest between a single player against an opposing faction single player.

     

    If you want to get rid of companions engaging in pvp combat only do duel requests and put your companions up.

    Your description of PVP is in actuality only a duel...

    PVP has never meant a single Player vs a single Player

    But this is getting off track Lol

     

    Whether it is 10 players attacking 1 player or 1 player attacking 100, it is still PvP. Your entire argument revolves around "i will be so lonely and dead without companion guarding me in PvP". Companions should never have been a part of PvP, it was a mistake in EAWare AUstin's part, they need to redo it.

     

    And if you want to insult me saying i am too lazy to min-max my companion, then you did not understand my stance about companion : i only see companions as PvE only item that helps me kill mob, nothing more. there is no reason for me to gear my companion for PvP or even group PvE content like HM FP.

     

    And if you are depending on your npc companion for PvP with lame excuse like "they are also part of faction and PvP in open world is faction vs faction" then you are nothing more than a lame carebear pretending to be a big time PvPer.

     

    LEARN TO PvP.

  12. So let me get this straight.

     

    You want a male apprentice, and have a LORE (yes you said Lore in the opening post) relationship with them? I guess that's your thing but that's...unusual.

     

    "Oh Darth (insert title here), I want to be with you again so you can tell me of the glory of Ajunta Pal!" Okay then :rolleyes:

     

    HAHAHA :D

     

    Nadia and Kira aren't Sith Apprentice O.O

     

    Why an apprentice though and not a fellow sith!

     

    She is like : "I AM your MASTER!! as my apprentice it is your job to fulfill my desires!!"

    "music starts" bow chiki bow wow..."screen fades to dark"

     

    You get the jist of it ;)

  13. For the females I mean. Im tired of these Female apprentices that are complete brats. I mean sure we have xalek but it's not my point.

    How awesome wouldnt it be for your sith female to get a shy male aprentice that you have a lore relations with? Why isnt there a sith aprentice that I can make love with that isnt a woman? Ashara is just terrible all around, Jaesa is pretty but she's so boring. Nadia is ugh and Kira is acceptable.

    Speaking as a woman here, I feel forced to marry a damned pirate or a traitor officer. Bring me the Male aprentice companion that I can romance and I'll shut up

     

    Or you could ignore them and wait for Lana and get into some exciting girl on girl action :p

  14. absolutely none. In fact it takes away the reason for many to even try to level. The little prizes are what makes the grind worth it for some. Telling them that now they have to spend even more time to get the same things they already have is ...well, laughable.

     

    I understood the nerf at 55-60 but not this, not twice in a row, it is just disheartening. No new talent choice at 65 is just terrible.

  15. So basically now we will be playing focus/rage until 42 before switching to Vengeance/Vigilance, 1 more level grind won't be a big difference. But disappointing thing here for me is that i was hoping we would get shien form at 10 and vengeance/vigilance would become viable from level 10.

     

    On top of that we see some abilities are being pushed back 1-3 levels. You are pushing back utility point just to make sure we get choice at 65 instead of giving more choice and utility point at 65. And your reasoning is to prevent excessive power inflation, i don't get it, not at all, if we are still the same as 60 at 65 what is the point of level increase?
