Making Lightsaber/Blaster rifle sounds slotted
cpt_fishcakes replied to JidaiDerriphan's topic in General Discussion
I am fully behind this idea, love the DLA-13 Heavy Blaster Rifle but the sound is so weedy "pew pew". -
Thats a texture bug introduced in December, just back after 3 month break so I guess its still not fixed

[Bug] Female Skin under Republic Dancer's Bottom and others
cpt_fishcakes replied to Aikion's topic in Bug Reports
Another patch and still not fixed. Come on BioWare get your act together. This affect all the character models in the game, every player every NPC. That should be a big deal for you guys and prompt a quick fix. At lest say something anything, whats going on? And the colour texture bug with some blasters and assault cannons is still there too, looks like the specular lighting or something turns them red/pink when viewed from behind. -
Relaxed Vestments Chestwraps: Graphical Glitch (Picture)
cpt_fishcakes replied to Luisen's topic in Bug Reports
Its the same on all Female characters, and on pre-viewing some new items noticed it on Males too. Been that way since the last December patch. The alignment of the leg texture is wrong, the kind of thing that you would expect a hotfix to correct a day or two after it appeared in the game...................or not Big thumbs down to BW for not fixing it with the patch -
Never understood the gripes about swtor's F2P, you get a level 1 to 50 single player game free. Thats not bad at all. If you want to go beyond that pay up, its a product not a hand out.

Preview of the upcoming Starfighter Pack
cpt_fishcakes replied to Iwipe's topic in General Discussion
Considering Star Wars has its roots in George lucas's love of old school Flash Gordon and Rocketeer its very appropriate. Have you seen what people wear in the Star Wars Films, particularly the women? -
Preview of the upcoming Starfighter Pack
cpt_fishcakes replied to Iwipe's topic in General Discussion
Nice looking bunch of stuff there, most very minimalist in design. Makes a nice change from all the glowing bits and extraneous McGuffen that can festoon some gear. They need to fix the flipped alignment of the female leg texture map for the Jori Daragons set though -
At the end of the day its a game its meaningless pointless fun. Quitters in MMO PVP all tend to be angry teenage little boys, who cant stand being beaten. Yep 3 Hutt ball matches in a row can grate, but play the game don’t chicken out. The best Warzone I have had was the Alderaan one. Getting slaughtered loosing 480 to 90 had 3 quitters 2 of which were crying about how useless we were against the Imp side. We won 10 to 0, just play the game as a game its more fun that way. A warzone lasts at most 15 minutes, if you cant stand your fragile little ego getting bruised for that long quit SWTOR or grow up.

This only really affect 1 of my 12 characters. A Sith Assassin I made recently, I ended stopping playing that character today its just bugging me so much. The legs look like half squeezed tubes of toothpaste poking out from under the skirt, its really distracting and looks pretty shoddy. Messing up half your player models is a pretty big faux pa in an MMO, when people can spend a lot of time and credits getting there characters to look just right. Plus I had to sit through a cut scene with what looked like Jabba the Hutts backside waggling away in the background

so the one time password just kept me out for a month...
cpt_fishcakes replied to rocknerd's topic in General Discussion
As someone plagued with one time pass problems, make sure you do this. If you dont have one make another email account and send a mail to the email you use for SWTOR, if it turns up quickly its not your email account. If its taking hours or days to get into the game because of the one time pass post in the customer service section. It may be coincidence but every time the passes have basically stopped me from playing I started a topic or posted in one already active and soon after things start working again. The one time pass problem is not something that gets much attention from the staff, it took a herculean forum effort to get the problems that affected many addressed after its introduction. If your paying and cant play because of it post it up. And keep at it, until its sorted. As consumers we have rights (well depending what country your in). And yes it is a horrible system, its brought me nothing but grief since its introduction. I feel your pain -
A subject that came up in another thread. I play on the Red Eclipse and the imps are generally just bad at Galactic Starfighter. It got to the point over the weekend were a fight against Imperials was a rare interlude between fighting other Republic players. Its a trend that seams to appear on other servers, I want to know why this is. Is there some fundamental problem with the Imperial side that stops people playing? Is it the look of the ships? I have to admit they do look pretty lackluster compared to there republic counterparts. I want to have fun games, and its not fun when you win 1000 to 5 points. Or when most of your games are against your own side. Not trying to brag or anything I am pretty average at starfighter. It would just be nice to have more competitive games. On the same server the imps have been dominant in normal PVP for a while why not Starfighter?

Flashfire and Nova Dive the same Ship?
cpt_fishcakes replied to Mallorik's topic in Galactic Starfighter
They are basically the same ship. The Flashfire ( one with locked wings I think ) has a slightly different hull. It looks like an adaptation of the Nova Dive design that does away with the folding wings. Its something you can imagine a defence contractor doing. The Republic put out specifications for a new scout ship and a company submits a design based on the proven Nova Dive. It makes sense it would be nice to have a completely new looking ship to fly around but it does work. -
I think this will finally make me switch sides.
cpt_fishcakes replied to Enexemander's topic in Galactic Starfighter
Playing on the Red eclipse server had 40 odd games over the weekend and the imps won 1, most of them have been turkey shoots. Was getting to the point were the only 12v12 fightes I was having were against other Republic players. Just finished my last game of the day and it went right to wire so hopefully the imps have grown a spine I was going to post a thread to see if the lack imps was a general trend, I thought it was down to fact that a lot of people, me included think the republic ships just look a lot better. But glad its not, hopefully things will balance out. Its more fun fighting the other side than your own. -
Having a lot of fun and doing quite well with the Pike at the moment. Once I stopped trying to get into dog fights and hung back a bit, covering my team mates with missiles and gun runs on scouts and strike fighters contesting objectives my scores shot up. Ideally I like to engage by diving in on the target using the protons from 10K, then following up with a concussion as I close finishing them off with rate of fire upgraded quad lasers. If nothing else my constant missile locks cause the enemy to break up and gets them off the tails of my team mates. Gunships fall pretty easily to the same tactic. If they boost away from my lock I can just chase them and start again. When a scout gets on my tail I try and boost off towards the cover of friendlies or turrets, or explode

BAD CONTROLS! Oh, the bad controls...
cpt_fishcakes replied to ODST-Parker's topic in Galactic Starfighter
The controls are a bit off. Third person mouse controlled PVP space combat is nothing new, mouse control can work brilliantly. With GS it feels like like your moving a mouse cursor that your ship desperately tries to chase about, rather than the mouse movements controlling the ship. The games OK its not great. For me it doesn’t feel like I’m controlling a Star Wars ship more a nitrous boosted blimp. I have no problem with the abilities, its the basic controls the same game has been done so much better. Really looking forward to the expansion, and its really annoying I find it a bit disappointing -
3,000 Cartel Coins FOR A Tauntaun ...
cpt_fishcakes replied to Murder_Toys's topic in General Discussion
Or just voicing a valid opinion, yours isnt the only one. No need to take a hissy fit. As I said before your free to ignore them no need to start with that butthurt nonsense :l Criticism is a valid form of feed back, and listen to you customers feedback is a key part to maintaining a good business model. While there is a lot of just blind hating and blind defending in this thread people are raising valid points. No harm in that. -
3,000 Cartel Coins FOR A Tauntaun ...
cpt_fishcakes replied to Murder_Toys's topic in General Discussion
Buying something just to show your support for a vast corporation is a bit of a strange ethic to have as a consumer, Bioware (well EA, Bioware is just a brand name these days) will do just fine without our charity. I still cant wrap my head around the appeal of this thing. Why would anyone buy a minor skin variation of a mount easily available for free at nearly double the cost of the Czerka pod racer a unique model with unique sound effects? It makes no sense form a consumer point of view what so ever. -
3,000 Cartel Coins FOR A Tauntaun ...
cpt_fishcakes replied to Murder_Toys's topic in General Discussion
As I said its just my opinion you are free to ignore it, not trying to force my will on anyone. I used to work 3d animator, I know how much work goes into creating these things. And a very basic re-skin does not strike me as a product worthy of its asking price. Just my opinion nothing more. -
3,000 Cartel Coins FOR A Tauntaun ...
cpt_fishcakes replied to Murder_Toys's topic in General Discussion
In my opinion its just an absurdly priced piece of rubbish. There is literally a few minutes work involved modifying the colours of the original textures to create that, its money for nothing. For that price I would expect a truly unique and extravagant mount, like a Rancor or a Basilisk war droid not a half hearted re-skin. I and I imagine many other people would be tempted to buy something like that, something with a bit of effort and imagination behind it. Thats my first negative post on the forum out the way -
Played a good few MMOs over the years starting with Ultima Online. Been playing SWTOR for just over a year, longer than I could tolerate any other MMO and still enjoying it and having fun, So the game must be doing something right. And with some space dogfighting shenanigans on it way I dont see my self getting bored of SWTOR anytime soon.

Noticed this happening for the first time today. Healing the False emperor FP for some 50s, Force Armour and Deliverance just failed to do anything several time all within a couple of minutes. Even though Force armour applied no affect I was unable to re-cast on players until its normal cooldown duration was over. All in all a really annoying bug

That would be colour. Britain, awsome at scrabble

This armor is PERFECT for the Nihilus mask (pics)
cpt_fishcakes replied to Galbatorrix's topic in General Discussion
Nihilus was rubbish. Oh look at me I'm evil, I'm coming to get you on my big broken ship, spooky!. Oh woops I'm dead and served no purpose in the game. Nice mask pointless character. Stick his face on anything that looks good.
