    The real reason Empire is more popular than Republic

    in Story and Lore

    Posted · Edited by genghiscon

    I wounder how many Imp players know that the Empire was based of Nazi Germany. So they are in a small way, playing out the life of a Nazi in space.

     

    I am not making this up, Lucas himself has said as much. Even if he didn't though, is it really that hard to see the two the same?

     

    Hell look up old Nazi footage and then look up any scene in any of the movies with the Empire. There is more but I am sure everyone with any sort of education has already made the connection on there own.

     

    Wait, am I missing something? Are you implying that British Space Nazis aren't mind-numblingly interesting and awesome?

     

    Or at the very least that this wasn't common knowledge already?

    Every MMO in history has had these problems.

    Ok, so you think I'm wrong? Provide an example. I would say that not being able to play makes a game broken. Or do you suggest that I sit at a graveyard in Ilum forever being spawn camped. That doesn't sound broken at all.

     

    Ilum may be broken at this juncture but that doesnt make THE GAME broken.

     

    Guess who hasnt been to Ilum yet? Me, and most people playing the game. It still should be fixed ASAP but the fact that one small section of the game needs to be fixed doesnt make the game broken.

     

    What I suggest you do is find something to do in the game other than Ilum for the time being. I mean, christ, is that what you were going to do until the next xpac? Ilum, over and over again?

    Not all MMO's have these problems. This game is broken and no amount of burying your head in the sand will change that.

     

    I played WOW release and it had its share of bugs but none of them were on the scale of SWTOR. If you think I am wrong I challenge you to provide an example.

     

    Broken?

     

    bro·ken/ˈbrōkən/

    Adjective:

     

    Having been fractured or damaged and no longer in one piece or in working order.

    Rejected, defeated, or despairing.

     

    Well, the game still works... and I am having fun playing it, as are my guildmates. So no I guess not.

     

    Is it perfect? No. Are there issues I would like addressed which need to be brought to the attention of the Devs? Yes.

     

    Tough broken, it is not, young padawan.

    I used to be against a LF tool, but last night spent 3 hours trying to find a group for Foundry (which btw, was awesome). Ive since changed my mind. However, I absolutely do not want it to be cross-server. Cant it just be in-server? The group I wound up in was great, and we friended each other to make sure we get into FPs easier in the future. But speeding up the process would really be great

    Why complaining about End Game is very justifiable.

    In a new MMO that you expect to grow in the coming months (which is every), you want to focus on making sure the leveling experience meets expectations. This is your most important goal pre-release. You want to make sure the systems are in place for Endgame (which they are) but you want to make sure that everyone has a smooth leveling experience (it started out a little wonky for a few people but they quickly fixed it).

     

    This being said, its more important to have a complete leveling experience at release than a fully fleshed out endgame? Why you say. simple, that's where your majority playerbase will be even months after release in a game you are expecting to grow (once again, every MMO expects this). It is for this reason that you release the game with an almost complete/complete leveling experience (which this game did) and with the framework of endgame in (which this game did also). You will then focus your patches on squashing the inevitable bugs and patching in a more complete endgame (also Bioware is doing just this).

     

    You do this because, like I said, this is where your playerbase is, even months after release. As long as you are gaining more than losing, you will see that most players will be below cap. You will also see that since the leveling experience is in the game already, they can focus more closely on endgame for the duration of the expansion cycle.

     

    This is an excellent post.

    Taris Jincoln Cadera Bug -_-

    in Combat Styles

    Posted · Edited by genghiscon

    So, I was on the last leg of the Taris class quest line where you track Jincoln across the map to an instanced cave he is hiding in. The objectice changes to "defeat jincoln cadera," anyways so he killed me and I decided to rez at the medcentre. However, now the objective marker is gone from my map meaning I have to locate his cave all over again blindly.

     

    I tried this last night and gave up after about 20 minutes. It's excruciating.

     

    Does anyone know where his cave is? Or can provide a screen shot or something, anything? Thanks.

    More BT Style Flashpoints Please

    So, I ran BT for the second time on my Jug Alt last night and I had completely forgotten how awesome it is. It's like a self contained episode of a SW TV show. Great group conversations, consequences, set pieces, etc.

     

    Now, it's not to say I dont have fun on the other FPs, I do. However, they cant stand anywhere close to BT in my opinion for pure, engaging fun. The meager LS/DS choices and dialogues in the others like the "kill Mandos/dont Kill Mandos" in MR just seem a little soft when set against blowing open a blast door to engage a Jedi Padawan who's story weve become at the very least partially invested in thanks to a moment of excellent expositionary dialogue.

     

    On the other hand, I understand that since we tend to grind FPs for gear, engaging in those convos over and over would eventually become tedious. But how about some kind of voting option that would allow players to skip right through it to the DS/LS choices? The game could log which players have completed it in it's entirety in the past and allow them to vote to skip, which would in turn be vetoed by players who have never completed it? (maybe even a legacy carry over for alts who wish to skip as well?)

     

    Thoughts?

    Ex-SWG players,...do you

    The only thing i miss about SWG is;

     

    1) the Galactic Civil War era :(

     

    2) Free form space exploration and the ability to have really personalized and unique star ships. But I have faith Bio will expand upon the starship areas of SWTOR

     

    3) Iconic, playable SW races. Why cant I be a Trandoshan, Rodia, Gran, Ithorian, etc? Twi'lek and Zabrak are the only other really SW feeling species.

     

    Otherwise, no real problems with this game. Im havin a blast.
