  1. Why does Bioware need to respond to you or to anyone about the ending to their game? It is the ending they chose, yea Ok so maybe some people don't like it, but tough cookies. They do not owe anyone anything. Yes it is a game of choices that provided a very fullfilling experience for 3 games. I think its better the endings are similar. Does not leave so many "what ifs". The story had to end in some way, and maybe set up future games, how can you have continuity if one ending is the happy sunshine ending, and the other is the doom ending, or even the scooby do ending (waynes world reference...anyone?) Does anyone DEMAND responses from movie studios or any other game studio because they don't like the plot or ending of one particular entertainment piece? NO! That is just some butt-hurt immature baby crap. To go as far as to cancel your SWTOR subscription over the ending of another game??? That is just ridiculous! Grow up! There are much worse things in this world to get so upset about than an ending to a video game!
  2. I am not canceling, but I have not played since ME3 release. I also will most likely not play TOR until I beat ME3. Since I actually have a life, that usually limits me to 2-3 3 hour weekly play sessions. So it may take me awhile to get back into TOR. I should probably have canceled just until I beat ME3 just to save $15, then re-upped my subscription. Oh well. Now if a new Fallout game came out soon, I would def leave TOR for a while and go deep on that.
  3. None $0 el zilcho. This game has run very well on my 2 year old LAPTOP. Stop complaining
  4. I think this is a great idea. I was thinking the same exact idea for a SWTOR. Basically just companion missions/crafting. Access to mail/message friends.
  5. Republic/Rebels in OT are Americans because America is the best. End of argument, period. Sorry nothing wrong with England or most other countries, but the USA is the best, just for the fact we made Star Wars. Which in turn is the only reason anyone is here. Also by America, I mean the United States of America. None of that central or south America stuff. /end Troll Really besides all the American fighting the British evil empire stuff, I think it really just comes down to the fact they hired alot of English actors not in main roles. BUT there is also the curious case of Carrie Fisher...who used a british accent in ANH..... Let me get George L on the phone about this.
  6. You started characters on half of the available servers? How do you know they "feel dead"? I rarely see anything negative in general chat in-game. Also most people who use the forums either : 1.)Have something to complain about 2.)Are bored at work 3.)Are looking for advice A majority of players that are happy will never log into the forums. So you see an over abundance of people ************ and complaining, because that is what the forums are for. You also have a lot of people try and persuade others to feel like they do with pointless, unfounded "facts". Like "half the servers feel dead". Even if this "was" based on reality, there are too many variables to take your statement as true. You play every server all the time? You play on peak and off-peak hours? In atleast half the servers? There is NOTHING to suggest that the game is failing, will fail etc. Hell if SWG lasted as long as it did, I have no doubt SWTOR will as well, and SWG was a MESS when it launched. For example, look how much that game added/changed over the years.
  7. Who cares. Either you enjoy the game, pay for it, and continue to play OR you cancel and leave. Anyone who dislikes this game, and either pays for it still OR continues to post on the forums is completely retarded and must have no life. Also I love all the conspiracy theories about BW writing these reviews. First off, if you have EVER read a legit press release, they sound nothing like this review. This is an actual review. Just because other news organizations picked up the same review, does not mean its bogus. I am also pretty sure TIME would not print a "press release" and call it a "review" that is paid by BW. This sort of sharing of stories/articles happens all across the news industry in all sorts of stories and weather.
  8. I dont think anyone wants "realism" in this situation, nor is anyone expecting it from the SW universe. The argument is whether or not the game feels like it is 3000 years ago compared to 30-100 years ago. Also whether or not BW did a proper job distuingishing it from EpI-III and IV-VI art and cultural style. The game NEEDS to be and feel like Star Wars, but I also feel like it NEEDS something more to seperate itself. Obviously you have to keep fanboys happy and keep the general public interested in anyway possible, but taking extra steps or a risky step to truley make things great and seperate it from the movies is not a bad thing. To think that barely anything would change after 3000 years, even with several wars is kind of ridiculous. Some things would be the same, others drastically different. The middle ground is the most desirable. Keeping just enough grounded in traditional Star Wars to make it feel familiar but changing/adding enough to make it feel fresh and fun. I am really enjoying this game, but really I am disapointed with the enviroments. I feel like they are all seen and done before from all previous SW games. Which yea, it is set in the same universe/areas but TOR has the advantage of being set so far in the past, they can make the same areas seem new. Most of the game just feels like a re-hash of everything we have seen before slapped onto a MMO frame. By no means did the developers do a bad job, and it must have taken an insane amount of creativity and effort to complete, just from a outside standpoint I was hoping for something mroe varied. Then again i felt the same way when KOTOR came out.
  9. On a scale of 1-10? probably an 11.
  10. I want to picture my sith wearing a tuxedo t-shirt. That say's im totally a classy ****** but I like to party.
  11. I think it was just a bad plot device Lucas created to make episode I "work". With that being said, there really is no way to tell if he brought balance or not. There is nothing to define what bringing "balance" to the force means. Balance usually implies equality. Killing the remaining sith does not balance anything, just favors the good. However if balance means, bringing a calm and ending to uneasyness, then yes he did....sort of. Except in the fact if you consider all the EU canon, nothing gets balanced. There are other Jedi and Sith, the emporer gets cloned etc. Lucas pretty much turned the whole jedi/Sith established canon all retarded with EpI-III even within his own story. If you follow JUST movie canon, Vader and luke balanced the force kind of. Vader Kills Obi-Wan leaving 2 jedi and 2 sith.. 2 sith Vader/Palpatine, 2 Jedi - Luke/Yoda. Except no one knew yoda existed anymore anyway. I really feel there is no way to argue this OR provide a good hypothesis since the rules set forth by the universe are also broken by the same universe and anything else is either undefined or poorly defined.
  12. EP IV - Luke wears white EpV - Luke wears grey EP VI - Luke wears black Anyone else see this progression. Coincidence? Maybe. Does it symbolize his inner struggle with the darkside/knowledge of the force. Or maybe they just make him look more ****** in each movie. He did look like he was goin to choke someone out in that black robe...oh wait he did. 2 Gammorean guards.
  13. Agreed. I understand why for KOTOR they placed it thousands of years before, to create the lore, and have it far enough removed from Star Wars as everyone knew it to avoid such comparisions and discussions. However, 3000 years seems a bit dramatic of a number. 300-500 years would have been cool. Or at most since the republic saw 1000 years of peace, these events took place right before that galactic peace. Still would have been a hard pill to swollow in tech/advancement wise, but it would atleast have been a gel cap. To those comments about technology reaching a limit and peaking. Certain tech yes, absolutely. Not with everything. Im stuck on the droids, but I equate them to a cell phone. 15-20 years ago cells were bulky and huge with limited features. Look how far they have advanced in that time. Droids in TOR to droids in EpI? Thats more like an upgrade from Android 2.1 to Android 4.0. 3000 years and they are only slightly more advanced versions of what are seen in the films?? Also as for the "helmet" comment: Yes, helmets essentialyl do the same thing but the technology is WAY different and serve a slightly different purpose. I am just talking the last 100 years, im not going back to Rome or medievel. Original steel helmets were pretty much designed to protect against falling debris etc. As time went on, designs protected more of the head/neck and added addtional saftey features. Most modern designed helmets are based off of the german WWi/WWii helmet. US Army wise, as time went on they added layers of kevlar etc to them. Today the ACH (advanced combat helmet) is made of kevlar, designed to protect against falling debris, shrapnel and to a degree lower caliber weapons. The padding and chin strap system is designed to protect against concussion inside and as well be more comfortable and keep the helmet in the correct position as to provide constant adequate protection. Also portions of the helmet are designed to accomodate NVG nightvision mounts, Infared IR devices, goggle straps etc. Just in the last 20 years from the advancement from the "kevlar" helmet to the ACh, there is a VERy noticable difference. So the point was to clarify whoever said that original statement AND to point out that sometimes a higher advanced form of something may look similiar to something older. The shape of the helmet is pretty solid, but the materials and features contained within can be different. This could apply to most things found in the SW universe.
  14. As much as I like the moral choices in games, I HATE them in TOR. As stated in many previous posts, the light/dark outcomes sometimes do not correlate well with the choices offered. I am a republic trooper, a soldier, if killing someone who is bad is a dark choice...then they are in the wrong profession. I like that either republic or sith can make light/dark choices and have that outcome change options available to them but I would also like a third neutral option. Why cant I be both good and bad?? Getting light and dark points eventually equal out and leave you with presumably less content because you don'thave a side? Especially since this is supposed to be during a brutal war, decisions are not always clear or align to a specific side morally. Nothing wrong with some mercy killings. Then again it is illegal for the US Army to do that now too.
  15. This quest seems like content that may not be totally active in-game. Peices of it may exist, but it is possible that it just has not been totally updated or that parts of it are still missing. There is nothing to prove that the included files and dialog, are the complete content for HK-51. Or for all we know, it could be just a part or last quest for a whole other story arc or questline. It is also possible that it will be activated in the next big content patch that is being talked about or in a future one. Also, really...some of you guys have spent "days" of your life looking/researching into this? Not to troll, but that just seems absurd lol.
  16. Im sorry, when did we find life on other planets? When did we find life on other planets and Oxygen? Did I miss something?? Basically the reason why technology did/did not advance in 3000 years is for the same reason the tech in Ep1-III was more advanced than Ep Iv-VI. Tech is worse in the OT because George Lucas doesn't care about Star Wars fans.. George Lucas ruined Star Wars in the late 90s. Instead of planning out the prequals better or taking the time to really think the story through, he just made 3 CGIgasm films. TOR just follows in this process. Really TOR is exactly like the prequals, except it is set thousands of years in the past. Is it really though? TO me, it is the same time period just with different character names, and slightly different designed ships/droids. The ships don't look older, and the droids look maybe 50 years older. Everything else could have been in EpI-III. Of all the technology to not advance in 3000, droids really havent. Like REALLY havent. Also in 3k years, they pretty much look and act exactly the same? No one thought astro droids should talk...or protocol droids have slightly more mobility than that of a person with ALL their joints fused together and a giant rod up there butt. Just saying, i don't think too much thought was put into the "why" or "how". It is what it is, and really atleast it is a good solid Star Wars game to play. To me this replaces EPI-III. Hell, the opening movies were cooler than anything in the 7 hours of those combined films
  17. The waves are more than likely to insure the servers don't crash or have too much lag. It would be much more disastrous if that happened, but instead people still complain because they are selfish and impatient. If your not in the game yet, you should have preordered sooner. Also fyi, I am still waiting too.
