In one of the first things talking about the changes with companions, it was stated that those two would not be included among the companions. Sense people pay real money for them as separate items which are not apart of the class stories, they belong to you and therefore cant be taken away.

Kelly Hu would make a good Satele Shan.

That's not a name I use, I had no idea I would be stuck with it for a forums name. That may read more agitated than I meant for it to.

UGH, I hate when people bring up this idea. I don't want any @whatever next to my names just because people cant think of unique names.

We really don't know what this means yet. One thought that I have seen going around and I tend to agree with is, it will be more on the side missions and not the main story missions. They are working on making the leveling faster, so my guess would be they are doing tweaks to exp. rewards and how the missions are done, to speed things up.

Yeah the OTP thing is quite annoying but I think you have other problems. You shouldn't have to do it every single time you login, it should only happen when your IP changes. So either you are mobile regularly or you need a new router.

At this point I have such a low tolerance for PC junk, so I understand your thoughts. The thing is SW has always had a diverse cast of characters over time. So unless they make it so massively blatant that something is there just because its the PC thing to do, it wont be an issue. The real issue will be in the real world with people trying to make things into a big PC thing.

None, I wont even use the free one.

Ok folks there are threads for both San Diego and Gamecom codes. Anahiem is an expired code now making this thread also expired and I'm sure people are thinking its a new one.

Simple answer No. The fans and complainers have nothing to do with it, this is just a good business model. The OT is what the world knows, all the characters, places, tech and how they are connected. This is the base you build a brand on, sense you want the largest audience, you don't fly off into areas that only the major fans know about. If you look at it the Prequels were just an extension of the OT as well. It had well known characters and planets and even shinier versions of known tech from the OT, it was just filling in the universe that the broad audience already knew. The development of an EU is a thing that is primarily for the book world. The movie and media world needs to keep to the known areas in order to put people in the seats, at least for a time. At some point maybe they can/will move into extended areas and tell other stories, which if you look at it is the path they are on. Episode 7 is 30 years after RotJ, this is a handing over of the torch to the next generation thing and then going beyond the OT.

So is there any chance people will learn how it works before the next dates or will it be more of this for the rest of us? http://giphy.com/gifs/12SQ9mDwJGqkRG/html5

It would be cool if there was swoop racing, I really enjoyed and excelled at CWA's version. But I am not sure how it would fit in with the direction of the game.

So what exactly is bothering you about the pics? That they redid his gear or that the Imps are behind him and the Pubs in front? As for the gear change they really had to do it, most of his original stuff is already in the game in some form. So they needed to make new stuff for us to get. But more importantly a lot of time has past and whatever his story is, needing to pick up new gear is normal. As to what side is he on, well that we don't know. But it could be a way to explain why both factions can have him for a companion

The Eternal Empire sure does have style.

Hum . This is strange I didn't have any issues out of the ordinary on Quesh and my first time through there was in 2012 as a basic free player. I am a middle of the road player, nothing special. My first time on Quesh was with a Sentinel (my first character) and I barely knew anything. Maybe I was just use to the difficulty that it didn't seem any different there, by the time I made a Consular I had learned better ways to play. I'm sorry I wish I had some advice for you, I just don't know where things could be going wrong for you. I will say this, with Sages/Sorcerers they do need to rely on their companions quite a bit, maybe that's an area you need to look into. Ok the people above me have way better posts than me.

Well of course it is, in the end it is just a game that happens to have a licensed name attached to it. To the people you are talking about it would be no different than playing any original concept game.

My thoughts are both she and Theron are in hiding. I imagine one of them fell in a fight and the other rescued them, probably both being injured in the escape. By the time they were healed it was to late so now they are out there somewhere most likely planning something.

I have always liked Satele and would like to get to work with her. Her history shows there is a great deal more to her that would be good to see and play around with. Really wish they had done a better job with her facial design though.

Crap!! Yet another show I would like to see being put on a different kind of venue. As for the chances of TOR of any kind being done that is a big 0. TOR is in the Legends category for one and Disney is continuing with the timeline of the Original Trilogies. There is really little reason for them to go over 3 thousand years into the past, to do stories about new characters completely unconnected to the ones the larger viewing audience knows.

UGH, that hurt so much to read. I could feel the brain cells dying with each sort of word.

I would just like better warning in the future so I can avoid such weekends.

These were all good suggestions but as I view it the time and money cards are so you don't have to buy online. I'm one of the few (it seems) that doesn't want to take chances with online purchases, especially games. Besides my reasons to want the cards in stores, they are a good way to advertise games. I know for myself I will research games I see cards for and I would think this is true for others as well. So it would be good for the game if they can keep cards on store shelves as much as possible. I know having 2 kinds of cards might be a hard sell to stores but the easier it is to subscribe the more people will be inclined to do so.
