Imagine that if you took some of the greatest story writers about Star Wars ever, and deicided to make 6 new movies over the years, based upon new characters, new plot and so on, which takes place like 4000 after The Return of The Jedi, how could it look like? Allright i doupt Lucas himself would allow that but let's just speculate, how could it look like? Would it be fitting, or do the story really ends like and ends being epic when The Emperor dies? Would it be interresting at all? It's like adding new story to the Lord Of The Rings in one example, i can't seem to think of something like that being made to easily, but how about Star Wars? I mean, they did make a very interresting story into the game series Kotor 1 and 2, it was placed 4000 years before the movies, that was quite impressive story imo, can it be made 4000 years after The Return of The Jedi?

I'd be very interresting to see if there is any plans for making the Lava Crystal available in any future patch. Maybe also giving it some special effects like what they are supposed to have like bits of lava and flames dropping off the blade sometimes, shining extremely bright and being engulfed in flames around the blade(s) you wear and shining with a magma/lava red color or something to make it looking extremely malevolent color compareable to standard Red color, and that you gotta be lvl 50 on the lower end of the Dark Side sphere to use it (as how the alignment is now, dunno if it will be scrapped in future since people are asking for it alot). Ofcourse this has to be a kinda rare color, and bop from raid bosses would make it harder to get and overall making the wielder of the lightsaber looking unique amongs all these red and violet wielding Darths out there If you are wielding double bladed lightsaber or two lightsabers there would drop two imo, depending on who picks it up or being given to. And how about the Kaiburr crystal? That could be something that would be the single most powerfull lightsaber crystal in the game, amplifying the characters powers greatly as it is told to do in lore, maybe not so much but alot to increase damage, force, and skill power by a great margin. This would have to be a crystal that could only be found in endgame bosses and only dropped if you have done a complicated quest chain. Aside from the great amount of stat improvement it would give any user in his/her blade(s), there would be a unique choice with this crystal as you could actually affect how the color would look like, it would also surround the character with a flow of the force that reflected how your Light/Dark side enlightment is, from brightest white to blackest possible, in between, far/short into each way and so on depending on what it is ranked at. A Jedi with fully ranked Light side enlightment would be engulfed in an shining light that makes the Jedi look like he/her is one with the force while still be alive, and a Sith would having a extremely black/dark aura with the dark side surrounding him/her, like the blackest possible thunderstorm with lightnings sometimes flashing, as if he/her stood in middle of a red/black thunderstorm made out of the Dark Side. The eyes would shine differently depending on the enlightment of the wielder, it could for example look like star light was shining through the eyes of a fully lightsided Jedi, or allmost shining like a red lightsabers inner glow through the eyes of a fully dark sided Sith or like something like force lighting was being prepared to be shot from the eyes, that dark blue shining(purple? I'am partly colorblind..) Aside from the color of the lightsaber that would be unique as you can custom make it as you want, it also has a similar effect like with how the character itself would be engulfed with, i don't think i need to explain that to but it would be similar by alot. It could also has the unique power to actually give the character some certein talent like powers which is only possible whilst being used in a lightsaber, maybe making monsters cancel fighting you and fleeing away from you and refusing to fight you even if you stay near them, maybe also changing the voice of the character or something I'd love to see the Lava Crystal ingame

Is there any good spec for leveling Immortal spec? I usualy plays Marauder and is around lvl 36 and finds myself dying pretty easy regardless of level against enemies, expecily against strong enemies and above so i thought now on my other sith warrior which i have choosen Juggernaut since Immortal spec is more of a tanking spec it should last longer with proper spec while leveling right? Is there any good leveling build for Immortal tree? EDIT: Sorry didn't see at first this is the wrong section, please repost it in the Juggernaut section if anyone can.

Just a personal experience to why i think Bioware treats their playerbase a bit more fair than Blizzard. Just to say one thing i happend to use a swear word at one time in the Blizzard forums even though i didn't think about it first being forbidden at that time i ended up with being locked from the forum for a couple of days even though the word was pretty mild, i guess i would have to blame myself and i really should but hey i'am just human and slips from time to time, then recently happend to make the same thing on these forums and i appologize for that and what i got instead was a reminder of the forum rules, not a punishment, i honestly think that was more fair, sometimes people slips and should be reminded of the rules and at this Bioware was better than Blizzard IMO. We all slips sometimes and it shouldn't lead to punishments like bans to easily, treating someone fair and reminding first is exellent choice before further solutions is added. Again i appologize for using an inappropriate word, and thanks for reminding me instead of banning me, really thanks Bioware! And great game, enjoying it alot!

I don't mean that BW should forbid people to speak but punish those people who sits and reveal to everyone how certein important quests ends and how the story line for classes ends like with the purpuse to spoil it for those who loves the story part, i's one thing to say ''SPOILER WARNING'' before stating what you'd like because then you are already warned and dont read it but if someone just writes down how a class is ending like storywise i think that it should in some circumstances be punishable. At least WARNING people before is better than nothing, and if you spoil the story for many people you might ruin the joy for some of them and that should be punishable, you can't allways ignore what is written down sometimes and sometimes you HAVE to read what the chatt is saying if you're looking for something and you might end up having some guy revealing anything just for the sake of being rude and spoiling the entire story for you .. And the story is a big part of the game and i have no wish that some guy reveals how my class will end up like.. Again i think otherwise it's okey to talk about most thing i dont mind really and if someone has to write down if someone asks ''what will happend in X and X?'' you can allways whisper them privatly OR write ''SPOILER WARNING'' before so you are allready warned not to read the chatt channel.

Since this is a game with a heavy focus on the lore, and many hate the fact that some people reveals how lore ends in some cases which you would like to see for yourself, should it be a punishable offence if people states how the lore parts and stuff like that is build into the game into the ingame chattchannels? I mean, it's rather incridibly annoying that some idiot suddenly reveals how some lore part is ending just for the sake to spoilt the story part for those of us who really dig the story.. I honestly think that if people do that things they should be banned for a couple of days and if they dont stop it gets worse and then finaly permament ban, i find it offensive, it's like when you read a good book and then someone walks up to you and say ''ah that book ends like that'' or if you are watching a movie in the cinema and some guys shouts out ''ah the movie is gonna end with X and X and X is gonna die '' just to be rude, and that is really rude.. What do you think? Should it be an offence that is punishable because of the way the lore is in this game? Wouldn't YOU find it offensive if someone suddenly reveals that your class is ending in a certein way? At least that could make people think twice before spoiling things like that into the ingame chatt channels with the intention to being rude..

I was thinking how it could look like if one had the choice to make the character put the hoods(on those armor parts that has a hood that is) on and off for visual part, i have a nice helmet on my character but i'd like to have a hood for it as it looks to empty without, and on some helmets a hood would in my eyes look bad so i would like to swich a hood off depending on what looks best. How many would like this function so one can swich hood on/off? It would look great time to times to be able to swich wheter or not one wants a hood on or not and not having to swich armor parts for those parts that has a hood. Just to add options to those who cares about the estethic part of the game Great game offtopic!

I'd love to put in some star wars version of pandas or something as playable species just like in wow to see how people react

I've heard from alot of people that Empire is the majority of the players ingame, don't know if that applies to all servers or whatever but if that's so then why?

Can anyone help me?? I can't find a code in the email, and there is no other code than the ones i know i have already registrated and the paper says CLEARLY ''Inc Pre-Access'' alongside the 60 days playing card and the game itself and i registrated the game somewhere around the 16th december and i haven't got any code from Bioware :( What should i do?? I know i had pre-access and all that and should got a code why haven't i got one? This package with game and all that was quite costly so i want what i have paid for shouldn't i get it then?

Where is the code written? I've put the game code and security code as well long before the 20th so where should the code you refer to be written?

On the paper it says: Star Wars - THe Old Republic - Collectors Edition incl Pre-Access and a 60 days game card. It has three ''papers'' in the game box it looks like, one for Security Key, one for the Product Registration Code and one for the 60 days pre paid.. I don't know what code else it can be? I thought it was included in the same time i registrated the game code, not something i had to registrate separatly. Where is it? Where should the code be written??

I preordered Collectors Edition and got the game not far from the 20th december in 2011, i thought that when i was gonna preorder i was gonna access the crystal vendor but i can't, i didn't get into the game untill the official start had began and had made sure to make everything clear of anything so i could just go online when it's possible. I can't access the crystal vendor in the imperial fleet shouldn't i have access because i preordered before the official start at 20th december or am i wrong? Or is this a bug?

Was curius about the Sith Empire and the story around it, allways loved the bad guys so it was a natural choice The Republic is okay but prefer Empire. No i try not to kill everybody i see just because i choose the ''bad guys''..

Holy **** so many pages so fast!

Oh and i gotta admitt this game has kinda ruined my sleep.. Or more lika have but the game is great so to speak

Honestly, for how long has this game been out? Not that long. And haven't all mmos(and games for that part)been having bugs and stuff like that at launch? Guess what, Bioware is working their *** off trying to sort things out, really it's to early to say this game sucks or anything or that the game will fail, Bioware need a bit time to sort out the bugs and stuff that might cause issues ingame e.t.c Allright, the game isn't ''perfect'', no game have been at launch, and it is not WoW, and was it intended to be a wow copy as many of you claim? No, it wasen't. This is SWTOR, not WoW, and many of you complain to much, i've played on a Sith Marauder and currently allmost reaching lvl 35 but it is by no way easy(i'am not a crap player getting used to the mechanic of playing and that stuff at the moment and i enjoy the game alot), i'am sure Bioware will fix the bugs people are having and that they will expand the content but.. It's enjoyable and good imo as it as even now. Great game! Give Bioware a chance, this is a fresh game, you can't demand the game to be absolutely perfect in all it's meanings and expect it to be as polished and filled with a game that's been out for over 6 years of updates and expansions, really you can't. And again, this is NOT a WoW clone, it was never mean't to be that, enjoy it, have patience they will solve the ingame issues and relax, enjoy the game There is no ''perfect'' game Give Bioware a chance and this game will shine

One could argue that because of his immortal life span, and because he had already lived for over 1000 years, the Sith Emperor could possibly grow powerfull over all this time and in fact being stronger, all those years would allow practise over the Dark Side in all it's aspects and in fact increasing his potentional to exeptional levels, possibly dwarfing Sidious in 1 vs 1 in force at least.

Who's most powerfull of these and which one was most successfull, and which one could be the most evil?

What is the biggest of the big and most deadly when it comes down to ships in the Star Wars universe? I was thinking about ships in size at least of the Executor and the Eclipse class ships, and also in their range and more when it comes to armament and weaponry, is there anything that surpasses those in size and damage they can cause in the case of large ships ecept for the Death Star I and II?

Which one is ''strongest'' , how and why? Notice i used '' '', meaning it's all relative, what is strengt, is it physical, or spiritual, force, blade, mind, controll e.t.c? Let's say we take a Jedi Master and a Sith Lord, both practice the same type of sword (a simple sword in this case), both induviduals are powerfull in the force, also physicly strong, and they have both total controll on what they are doing i.e avoids traps and being lured and fails to be affected by the use of distractions, both use smart moves, both have been trained equally for long, both reach the deepest possible level into their respective force alignment, are intelligent e.t.c, which kind of training between these two will prove to be the superior to the other? And also, more generally, which side has the most potentionally powerfull training to be superior to the other in close combat respective use of force combat? I reckon only the strongest turns out to become Sith, you have to fight just for survival, which removes all the ''weak'' and makes the strongest survive the training and becomes powerfull Sith, i can't seem to think of any really ''weak'' Sith that are true Sith, whilst Jedi seems to train most people who have force connection at young age regardless if they are so strong or not, or am i wrong? Just a thought if the way to grind out the weak in the ways of the Sith generelly can make the Sith more powerfull in terms of close combat and force using, dunno personally.

Obi-Wan uses Soresu. Even though it is powerfull when a master uses it (can potentionally allmost make the user allmost invincible) a master in Soresu can still be defeated just like any other form used to it's maximum. It is said that the ferocity form Juyo which is the most dangerous form can break a master Soresu user's defences. EDIT: i meant Destroy in ''break''.

''It's over Anakin, i have the high ground!'' Ah, the use of reversed Duno Möch. Making your opponent doupt himself or distract e.t.c. Basicly, one could say that he taunted Anakin into rage(purpously or not?) which caused him to enter a state of rage where he was not thinking, obvously he didn't want to, he probubly wanted to make it clear that if he makes his move he is about to do, he will loose. A warning. Whilst this had the opposing effect. Anakin, being already in a great deal of rage gives into it fully, maybe he believed the taunting was a way to say that Anakin was weak or anything(?), he wouldn't stand it so he will show the evil Obi-Wan, and he might believeing his power is so great that Obi won't succeed in his tactics the arrogant he is, he doesn't think clearly, he underrestimates his opponent, and Obi-Wan is forced to make his incapaciting move on Anakin who is charging right for him. Maybe he was becoming so arrogant because of the Dark Side that he believed that it doesn't matter what Obi-Wan will do, he will beat him still? Anakin is so filled with rage that he basicly doesn't think clearly about what he is doing, that coupled with his arrogant attitude, his way of thinking he is the best and the effect of Obi-Wan's (failed) Duno Möch caused him to enter a state of rage that leaves him vulnerable, an weak point Obi-Wan exploits. Notice him Darth Vader doesn't jump after Luke in the earlier movies and instead walks up to him closely and also throws his Lightsaber instead of jumping against him? He learned his lesson. Anakin would though had won in the long run i believe. Imagine if he had been allowed to learn Juyo form instead and not forbidden to learn it.

Woaw woaw woaw here people calm down i never said i associates with any particular political party nor hate/love for any irl country whatsoever, i merely took America as an example(i could take any so called ''democratic'' country or union like EU e.t.c) to show what happens if one leaves a union like united states or EU(guess it would end up same way in the long run. Perhaps?). I never claimed i know all history into politic or all the sources or anything, nor irl nor into star wars universe about who attacked first e.t.c but when events like when you try to break away from a union it will damage the larger group/union as a whole, therefore such things must be crushed, it's natural and have happend in history, nations that have broken away from something and got defeated in the long run because of it, the other groups rallied because they can't afford to have one nation being an example of breaking away just like that so to not inspire others to join. In history, that weakens those with power, and they don't like that so they can come up with any excuse/lies e.t.c to invade e.t.c, and war happens really only because you either defend or seek resources or territory, no other damn reason, it's all about those three things, not about any pathethic excuse because some sort of ''care'' of the people of the ''enemy'' which unproved is massacred e.t.c, lies made to make people agreeing to the ''solution'' for it being invading and bombing others and it ends up the nation being completely destroyed, people dying and resources stolen, all for ''preace'' and ''democracy''. Year that's way of ''democracy''. I don't need to go into details about what i refer so we leave that out of the disgussion, but i guess some people get my point. Human greed is powerfull really. There is no real democracy really, it's only a way to make people feel they have power to change, a smart move really, instead of making people fear before you that might cause unrest and rebellion against you, let's make them feel powerfull, and if they feel they have the power to change they don't rebel against you that much. They will be calm instead. People that feel they have the power are easier to maintain and controll and don't cause unrest ad violence to those who are in charge really. No, i don't associate with any particular world view, no religion, nor any kind of so called ''conspiracy theory'' or nwo or anything, nor do i vote for anyone because it is all pointless, nor am i brainwashed, yes i did go in public state school but once opened my eyes and saw what democracy means, and imo and as proven over and over again, it doesn't exist. Feel free to agree/disagree with me that's okey. Least i stand for it, and i don't have to justify anything to no one. Be offended if that suits you i couldn't care less. And to topic again, Republic is no more ''democratic'' than irl nations/unions really, and it is just a little bit ''better'' than the Sith Empire in some aspects, it doesn't kill their people for nothing just like that but would equally invade planets that tries to break away in the long run if they can't convince the seperatist planets to rejoin again, if nothing else works, they have to make an example, ''leave us and you will be beaten untill you rejoin us by will or by our hand taking you back''. Sith Empire is interresting, a strong leader in charge leading the people through rough times, good for some things, clear command chain, no dull leadership, you do your best or you get punished, hard, but also a bit foolish as well, since an iron rule may occasionally make people grown tired in the long run if not carefully ruling without overuse of violence against the people, causing rebellion there as well. It also requires more or less an enemy, people in that kind of rulership needs an enemy that threatens their lives, in this case the Republic is that enemy. With an iron rule, you need an enemy because otherwise people will question you or object. Create an enemy and show they threaten the people and show them that we can save you from this enemy. They won't question you in your deicitions, just make sure they feel safe and protected. So called ''democracy'' is smart as long as you can fool people they have any power to change their puny lifes, ''dictatorship'' requires war or conflict against others to work properly without rebellion in the ranks. Rome was brilliant! People with closed eyes will reject this and claim i'am an idiot, but those with open eyes will understand my point, i'am not forcing this upon anyone just gives some explanation to what i said earlier.

First off, once a world is having the choice to join the Republic, it seemingly can never go back, i may not be well read about everything surrounding the Republic but it seems that when movements like the Separatists leaves the Republic they go to war for that :/ It's like if some state of America (as an example) tries to leave America union of states and that particular state is overwealmed by the other ones to forcefully take it back, just a thought. If the Republic cannot accept entire star systems own choice to leave their union and ends up bringing them back through war it just proves that the Republic is a hypocratic dictatorship, claiming others are violent but uses violence themselves to bring back the sheep in line again, and that it also doesn't stand for any true democrazy(can true democracy really exist?). Just loud thinking perhaps, again i dont claim to know everything star wars related or all events surrounding it but it seems at first that the republic starts a war to bring back the planets into line by force once the negotiations ends, am i wrong? :/
