I didn't buy the expansion in time and I am one week late. I thought what the hell, i'll just wait one week. So I logged in hoping that I could play but apparently I still can't acess the mission panel on my ship. I received in-game mail saying that I can now acess SoR. What is wrong?

What do you mean? Revan going back to fight the Sith could easily be a cover. He could have believed that the easiest way to defeat the empire was to take control of it secretly with the Emperor's voice and dupe them into destruction. They could easily merge both the Empror's and Revan's storyline if they wished; there's enough holes in time to manipulate what we think we all know. I don't believe this will happen, but it may. Revan may have always been out to take control of the galaxy and the events of Kotor were just a ruse to dethrone Malak. Maybe Revan was protecting his body in Maelstrom Prison from mortal danger while his puppets were waging his war. I think there are many cooler ways to spin it than rather a dupe Revan. Just my opinion.
Once again, if you take Revan novel and KotOR games into account, this theory makes NO SENSE whatsoever. Sure, it is possible but it would be the equivalent of extremely bad writing... beyond bad. So no.

I've been toying with the idea that we are dealing with a person in the mask who is posing as Revan. Think of the Revanite camp and the mission connected with the mask. Who is to say that one of those figures involved in that mission is not the bearer of the mask?
duh

I don't know. I think that the base emotions, Fear, Hatred of the Emperor, the pain he's suffered have made him nerely as dark as the Emperor. He's fallen into the same trap that he fell into originally.
He thinks he's doing the right and noble thing by trying to create an army tasked with genocide that would have killed millions of people. Now he's bringing a new war that will condemn millions of innocents to probably die at his hand.
He's no better then the Emperor trying to take lives to feed his power
At the end of it if he wins, kills the emperor and destroys the Empire, does he then try to reform the Republic that he see's as weak and un focused.
Revan is evil personified now, he's just wrapping it in a pretty justification.
I disagree, the vibe I got off Revan when speaking to him at the end of Maelstorm Prison is far from evil. Also, you have to look at things from Revan's perspective - he knew that the Sith Emperor was out there, he knew what his plans were and as far as he was concerned, there was nobody out there capable of stopping him. Killing millions is better than letting Vitiate consume every living being in the galaxy. If Revan's goal behind the Foundry would have been to win the war for the Republic, sure I would consider him utterly evil (if such were the case, he would in fact be the equivalent of space hitler as many people on these forums like to describe him). But his goal was not that at all - he simply wanted to save other BILLIONS of beings in MULTIPLE galaxies. Everything Revan has done so far was towards one goal - to stop the Sith Emperor. He did not use the Foundry for his own personal 'glory' as he said it himself during the flashpoint.
I quite enjoyed Revan in KotOR, and SWTOR is pretty much his legacy, which is why I can't wrap my head around the idea that he's replacing the Dread Masters as public enemy #1.But I suppose it would be fitting for us, on both sides, to take him down. Uniting both the Sith Empire and the Republic under a single cause does seem like a vision Revan might manipulate others into.
Yeah, that is the only thing that makes sense to me and that would fit Revan's character. If his aim is not to unite the galaxy, then it is quite possibly NOT Revan (well, I suppose that him being controlled by the Sith Emperor in some way is a possibility).
-
Or the Emperor, for that matter.
Yeah.

Additionally, each player class will be given one unique Class Story Mission as part of the storyline; these are entirely different from one another.
Thanks!

Whaaaa. I really hope that Lord Scourge will play a big role in the Jedi Knight mission.
-
You can actually see her in the announcemt trailer along with Darth Marr which makes me think that she will in fact be somewhat involved in the new expansion storyline.
Fingers crossed for Scourge being involved as well (given that he is a player companion probably not to such an extent but few dialogue lines entwined there and there would be amazing!).

What if........ The Emperor was Revan all along, and despite everything he's been thought to achieve turns out to be the true Sith heir. Or something new? Something worth thinking about. What if Revan has actually orchestrated this massive plot pitting one superpower against another much like Palpatine will 3K yrs later? Not entirely out of the question I think and would be a fitting twist and end to a iconic figure, while slipping the rug out from under all of us. Revan may never wanted to continue the useless strife of both Light and Dark, and may have always fashioned a more revolutionary approach to creating order. Sure this would upset a great many people, but it would demand the utmost respect for a character to have fooled so many deeply involved with is story. Just my thoughts.
That makes no sense whatsoever if you know the whole story of Revan.

The recent Shadow of Revan expansion announcement trailer makes us believe that Revan is the big bad but there is more to it, I am sure of it. I seriously doubt that BioWare would make Revan so shallow, it is true that he always walked on the edge of dark and light but making him a super mad villian that wants to turn everything to ash is just too... simplistic - he was never purely evil, he always had his own, bigger agenda in a grand scheme of things. When he became the sith lord for the first time do you remember how he left the infrastructure of the core worlds that he conquered unscratched back in KotOR? Anyway, I think I know how it will all work out as we progress through the expansion - whether I am right is a different matter entirely that remains to be seen. Anyway, here goes.
The Sith Emperor is an essential part of Revan's storyline - he created Revan that we know today. Revan, who is obsessed with killing the Sith Emperor. When he was freed from the Maelstorm Nebula prison, he knew what he had to do. When we encounter him during the Foundry flashpoint, we can see how far he is willing to go to achieve his goals. Many people claim that he is mad and evil. Perhaps. I'd say that he is decisive and willing to do whatever it takes. He knows very well that if both Republic and the Empire keep on fighting, Sith Emperor will eventually succed and wipe out all life from the face of the galaxy. One side of the conflict needs to be annihlated to stop the war and the Emperor's plan. So he decides to sacrifice milions by killing every sith pureblood in the galaxy - in the process, more lives are actually saved. Unfortunately, his plan fails. The Sith Emperor is supposedly killed but Revan knows better. The war between the Republic and the Empire continues and Revan knows that he needs to stop it if he hopes to kill the Sith Emperor. It is time for plan B. "I will finish what I started, and you will not interfere again". This quote from the last part of Forged Alliances story arc is an official confirmation that Sith Emperor is in fact alive (except for the Sith Warrior mail).
Rather than destroy one side of the conflict, Revan's plan is to unite the galaxy against the Sith Emperor. Revan won't make the same mistake twice by supporting the Republic that is 'too weak and unfocused to do what must be done'. He works from the shadows, pulling strings as the war continues. Revanites are his tool - a first small step toward united galaxy. He is fully aware that uniting Republic and the Empire is not an easy task. To unite the galaxy, he needs to create a threat that will force both sides to come together to prevail. The infinite army that he was planning on forming was such a threat. With infinite army destroyed, he needs another, equally powerful weapon to keep both sides of the conflict united. There is something on Yavin IV that Revan is going to use as the new 'threat' (quite possibly a sith artifact of some sort along with 'enhanced' massassi warriors that Revan somehow managed to convert to his side). It is important to note that Revan was not planning on using the infite army to turn the galaxy to ashes. Same goes for the new threat on Yavin IV. Taking over the Republic and the Empire was an option (a favourble one in fact) for him but not a necessity. With the whole galaxy against him, even if he fails to take over the ruling structure of both super powers, he still succedes.
I believe that we will stop Revan but in the end we will realize that all he had done was for the greater good. Sith Emperor will definitely make an apperance in Shadow of Revan (not necessairly in physical form but rather in a cameo of sorts). Revan will die, all the hate in the galaxy focused on him. While uniting the galaxy was important, it would have never been posible for such a union to last - Empire hates Republic too much and vice versa. That is why it is so important to rellocate that hatred onto something else - onto Revan hence breaking the dreaded cycle of hatred. He will sacrifice himself while everyone else thinks (except for player characters and few important individuals) that he was the bad guy, the enemy of the galaxy who got what he deserved. Now, thanks to Revan, we are united under one banner and prepared for the new threat that will come next, the true enemy of every living being in the galaxy - the Sith Emperor.
And just a small reference to people that saw Code Geass (a masterpiece, best anime ever created): http://oi62.tinypic.com/2wq9ac3.jpg
Still, I really hope that I am wrong about all this and that the story behind Revan was not inspired by Code Geass. I would prefer to get something totally unexpected (Revan being the new evil guy with some sort of new super weapon is definitely not it and would disappoint me greatly).

Just came back to the game after 1 year long break to check out the new content. I am going to focus on PvE and was wondering if any good, experienced juggernaut warrior can tell me what build is considered the best right now. Links to parse results are much appreciated.
-
Revan's set parts should not be available to buy via the cartel market, they need to bring back the cartel packs from which they dropped. Keep the drop rate the same meaning EXTREMELY LOW as it used to be before.
That being said, Revan's mask should be a stand alone...
-
Haven't you completed the Maelstorm Prison flashpoint?
-
Nah, its fun.
-
1. Vitiate
2. Sidious
3. Vader (he had the potential to become more powerful than Sidious but in the end failed)
4. Yoda
5. Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion (both were unbeatable)
-
Windu and Sidious, all the others pale in comparison to the two.
-
Good? Really? Good? He is so much more. :>
-
Oh boy, there are so MANY of them its impossible to read them all. I would advise you to start off with Tales of the Jedi , especially the ones about the ancient sith like Naga Sadow and Freedon Nadd.
-
Not exactly. While Palpatine viewed Anakin as the work of Plagueis, Plaguis himself portrayed Anakin as an incarnation of the will of the force - by attempting to tip its balance along with Sidious, force gave birth to a being that would consequently restore the said balance thus ironically Plagueis was the one responsible for fulfilling the prophecy of the Chosen one.

To all previous members of the LoreFreak community that enjoyed reading my blog: LoreFreak is back guys!
It has been almost a year since I stopped adding posts on my previous blog: http://lorefreak.blogspot.com. So why did I stop? Well, partly due to the fact that I lacked the time but also, to be perfectly blunt - for some reason I was not as enthusiastic about it as before, at the very start. Still, I would say that the blog was a success to say the least, and in just a month or two (or was it three?) I reached a rather big audience of almost 4,000 UNIQUE viewers from all around the globe. Over that time, my blog was viewed about 30,000 times. Quite impressive feat if I don't say so myself.
I decided to resume the activity of the blog, but this time in a form of portal based on phpbb script - mainly because I did not like to communicate with my readers through comments, it was a rather ambiguous form of communication that I found frustrating for some reason. Now, we will be able to communicate through the use of sophisticated forum board. The server itself is for now, a free hosting server (you know the sort, cheap thus kinda shi... not as good as it should be lmao) with many restrictions but I am planning to develop this site as we go and constantly improve upon it, adding brand new features.
Feel free to check the forums and register if you like what you are seeing: http://lorefreak.tk
Let the LoreFreak community grow!
Interviews, debates, reviews, articles and more - you name it. All Star Wars related, embrace your inner nerd(i)ness!
LoreFreak is a new site dedicated to all Star Wars lore geeks out there. You want to be up to date on all newest Expanded Universe books, comics, games and movies? Well, this is the site for you. If new Star Wars book published by Del Rey comes out, here you will be able to read it's review. If new Clone Wars animated series season comes out, here you will be able to find out if it is worth watching it. New Star Wars game comes out? Same thing - As soon as I will play through it I shall submit as least fan-boyish and as most objective review as possible in order to help you decide whether it's worth giving a shot. Also, I never thought that I would say it, but if a new freakin STAR WARS MOVIE comes out, you will be able to discuss it in depth with other freaks on this very site.
That is not all though! Before this forum was created, LoreFreak was a star wars blog which focused on more mature content of star wars that focused on quality of storytelling and its complexity. We had very dedicated, passionate community and we intended to keep our community together!
So you might ask: What does this forum offer me? How does it differ from all other countless star wars related forums on the web. Well, trust me - you won't be disappointed. There is more to this forum than meets the eye at first. Just to give you an example, all the registered users can gain access to exclusive content found nowhere else like star wars insiders short stories, dark horse comics and so on! That is only a small glimpse of what awaits you here at LoreFreak so don't hesitate and join us now! Just so you know, we have cookies as well (for those willing to follow the dark side that is).
Before registring, make sure to check out the gallery of forum avatars that is at your disposal.
Any donations are welcome and they will help us to relocate our forms to the more professional hosting site that allows for a far more advanced phpbb features. Other than that, there are also things like domain that need to be changed - of course they are of lesser priority and the current domain will suffice for now but we are striving to be become something special among other star wars fansites - a site unlike any other, where all the lore freaks can share their passion.
I suppose this is it, enjoy your stay and may the force be with you.

I'll buy it, just send me a 3 million COD in-game mail.
My character names are as follows:
Empire: Devizz
Republic: Bress
-
Yup, no trolling, it just happened! O_O
-
If anyone is willing to sell it, just C.O.D me (I am willing to pay up to 3 mil for it, doubt that someone will sell it for more, its a belt ffs, not worth more, 3 mil is way too much anyway).

The Entity that asks you to rescue Revan? It's the Jedi Exile, the PC from KotOR 2. Just as canonically Revan is male, canonically the Jedi Exile is female. If you do the "Jedi Prisoner" quest that is a sort of "container" quest for Taral V and Maelstrom, after you save Revan and you talk to him, one of the questions you can ask him is who she was, and he tells you. So, unless you think Revan is lying to you, there's no need to ask any devs, the game outright says it if you ask the right question to Revan.
The Entity and The Jedi Entity are two different things entirely. While the latter was actually confirmed in-game to be the jedi exile, true identity of the former is still unknown. It was only speculated, based on lore entry, that the entity is in fact Kreia/Darth Traya from KotOR2. Drew Karpyshyn kinda hinted at that (in an interview that I did with him via email), supporting the said thesis though the matter is still rather uncertain to say the least.

Revan died - in one of the old testing relics from cartel packs (before they were pulled for not working half the time) was Revan's mask which summoned his force ghost and would aid you in battle doing X damage, etc.
So unless those relics are completely abandoned, he is dead.
Seriously how can people still claim that he is dead, we argued about this a hundred times already... get your facts straight people. Won't bother to include any arguments, just do some research. :s
Can't access the expansion?

All right thanks.
God the one week long wait is killing me.
