Darkhosis Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Putting US Holidays in SWTOR could get real stupid real quickly... I mean what next? The Darth that stole Christmas? What did you want for VD? Go around the fleet and spray perfume while little hearts float around? Give a gift card to a guard? Cure 50 broken hearts? All seems very un-Star Warsish. I'm all for events- JUST Star Wars events please... Maybe something similar to City of Heroes Rikti invasions. Or events that lead us into new content rewarding fluff items. Fluff items like a baby Wookie- not Santa hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuka Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Am all for world events like invasions or some beastly viral outbreak on some planet but can easily do without the real world stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danakar Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 And I wanted to shower that Zabrak Sith Warrior with rose petals!!!! ...not really. Next thing people would want is a little green troll with white beard handing out presents or hopping after Womprats to collect brightly colored eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink_Saber Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Was mearly pointing out the absurdity of his statement regarding immersion. You did a pretty awful job of it, frankly. There's a huge difference in not being able to one-shot people with a light saber (something nobody in any of the movies ever did, by the way, so I'm not sure why you think you should be able to), and staging events for holidays that would never exist in a far-off galaxy. One is definitely far more immersion-breaking than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borntoride Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Keep the WOW comparisons out of this game, WOW SUCKS , KEEP THAT SUCKY ATTITUDE AND REFERENCES AWAY FROM THIS GAME!!!! GO PLAY A FRIGGIN PANDA < AHHHHHHHHHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's the way I read it. In the Force Sensitives case in game I look at it more like an energy bar .... the jedi/sith get tired of all the dancing, dodging, submersion in the force, and deflections .... they get tired and then BAM deathblow ... That's the way I look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 U serious?

That's the way I look at it. There's a big difference between immersion breaking for the sake of balance (the one shot example) and immersion breaking to put something in the game that many players don't want, that serves no gameplay or balance purpose and is, for all intents and purposes, worthless. Breaking fluff for balance: okay Breaking fluff to shove a holiday invented by Hallmark into the game: not okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keta Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 When Obi Wan one shot the guy in the cantina on Tatooine in episode 4, he was low grey to him. He was supposed to be able to one shot him. On the other hand Darth Vader in that movie was an elite and Obi wan forgot his Med packs and left Theran behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmbuyer Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The game is a cheesy time waster, or are you getting college credit at the Jedi Academy?

HooblaDan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I really hope there's a Life Day event where everybody speaks Shyriiwook with no subtitles. Edited February 16, 2012 by HooblaDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonobiwan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 This. /thread Keep that cheesy crap out of SW:TOR please. If you want those kind of events, go play WoW. Or DCU. The holiday crap in that was way worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duritz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 maybe the devs should actually play an mmo, then they might have a clue. i have a good one (makes me actually miss SOE) eq2! go play that one for a while and see what an mmo is really like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cormey Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I remember in DCUO when they had a valentines day event... two weeks after valentines day. As part of it you could buy valentines day gifts... which you couldn't give to other players. Cuz, ya know, when you buy someone flowers for valentines day, you keep them for yourself. Yeah, i'm really not fussed on holiday based events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
