Well Dromund Kaas is huge compare to Coruscant. On Kaas you can walk from the spaceport to Dark temple.And the city is pretty big and open with lots of space for what ever. Coruscant is only a tiny tiny tiny land strip from spaceport to senate building.Rest is hallways for questing that is not connected. Again you may ask, we know this whats your point ?

deags Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 When it comes to designs of Emp vs Rep it's like this: Republic = boring but practical. Empire = Cool looking but often unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmc Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I've noticed that, at least at one point, the Coruscant cantina doesn't count as a private place to talk to your companion. I had to go to the one in the Galactic Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggdude Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 one day i want to get all of the people on one planet to b in the same cantina. MAJOR LAG BUT AWESOME SOCIAL PARTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryhmr Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have a 50 on both factions and it really feels like they put way more effort into the Imperial areas than they did Republic. Republic is usually drab and boring and Imperial is flashy and slick. Also leveling Republic makes you do Coruscant then Nar Shadda and both city planets just suck since the layout is too linear to feel like a city. It feels like being in a hallway for hours.

Yeah, well, at least in The Drunkard's Vote (Coruscant), you don't have to run for 2 minutes to find a fricking mailbox like you do from the cantina in DK. I want to injure the people who thought "Hey, let's put a mailbox right outside the cantina in Coruscant, but we'll put one half way across the city from the cantina in DK. You know, for the kids."

dprijadi Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 coruscant is an easy place to PvE, the only long walk is from senate taxi to the senate building.. everything is connected to taxi point except jedi temple. easy to quest and while some may hate the corridor romp, i love it.. functional dromund kass is pain in the neck, too big and everything is loong walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goretzu Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 When it comes to designs of Emp vs Rep it's like this: Republic = boring but practical. Empire = Cool looking but often unnecessary. I don't think this is true in this case. Coruscant suffers from the same problem the other city-planets suffer from in SWTOR. Drummond Kaas however is a more "old school" MMO city and wilderness + hubs world/zone, which actual fits together much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldenal Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Not comparing other aspects of the game between both sides. But I think Coruscant is much more slick than Dromund Kaas. And also the Jedi temple look way better than Sith acadamy. The former look like a university campus, while the Sith acadamy looks like a barracks/fort.

KennethHoover Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The Devs wanted to make sure their Imperial toons operated in a cool and artistically immersive world. In comparison Repubs can just try to make a living by begging on the side of the road, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idunhavaname Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) There is another Cantina for Coruscant that is MUCH bigger on the Old Market District or whatever it's called. As for the land strips, I actually like having them seperated. Gives the idea that Coruscant is so massive that theres really no way you can get around by just foot.

ZDProletariat Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 This is why the Empire eventually falls...they spend too much time worrying about their bars instead of the war! Except Coruscant is the absolute epitome of overspending, luxury, ridiculously big, and over the top size. If the developers cared the littlest amount about being faithful to the SW universe, Then Coruscant would have been large and grand, not the other place. It's obvious that they just spend less time, or were more lazy, or just didn't care as much about the Republic side in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is Frodo..*drinks blue milk*.... nevermind.... Thats because the proper cantina on coruscant is the Dealer's Den, picture only shows the smuggler's trainer area. Also i like the seperate areas of coruscant, it makes it seem like all your quests aren't just in one part of the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufox Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 its a matter of opinion. i got to tattooine before i rerolled republic but i hated the look of the empire compared to republic. you show the cantina's but that city was boring as hell. the senate tower has a much larger feel to it simply because it goes up and down instead of doing an open area. standing in front of the tower is more gratifying than standing in front of that city^^ not to mention your showing an empire's night club and comparing it to a towers bar.

GonzyHalcyon Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Since we are mentioning the Kaas City Cantina, they REALLY need a mailbox just outside it. Every other cantina in the game(including the tiny Coruscant one) has a mailbox either inside or just outside the cantina. You're encouraged to log out in the cantinas to gain rested XP. But when you log back into the Kaas City cantina and want to check your mail, you have to run from the cantina on the west edge of the city to the mailbox in the GTN/Bank building on the far east side of the city. It's very out of the way. Adding a mailbox by/in the cantina in Kaas City would be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRieh Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Coruscat at least looks like the CAPITAL CITY, not just bunch of magalomaniac towers and satues among the swamps and jungles. Luxury? Design? You're kidding me. No sane person would ever dwell there. Yes, Coruscant is "no walk" city, but even in common RL big city you don't very often walk from your house to your office or something. It took me two stations on metro or 20 mins on a bus to get to my school. And school is not that far, actually - it's same district. As for rep\imp differences - those are very strange. I can't imagine SOCIAL based dividing which would involve, lets say, prefering red leds to blue ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemmingLeader Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Of the 2nd playing worlds, I've always preferred Dromund Kaas. For capital cities, I think Kaas City looks the part of the seat of a galactic level government. I also prefer the more unified travel and appearance of Dromund Kaas. It at least tries to be seamless, unlike Coruscant. If you want to talk about wasteful architecture, one only needs to look at the HUUUUUGGEE emptiness of the Senate Tower at Coruscant. There's maybe, what, a dozen people inside that monstrosity of a building? And it supposedly also pulls extra duty as military headquarters AND the best hospital in the Republic? Pleeaassee...

The Dealer's Den is a bigger and nicer cantina and considering also you can bind there it is not difficult to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nobody goes there (Dealer's Den) Not saying the rest area near the Senate Tower is hopping like a night club, but Dealer's Den is deader than a zombie flick.

To be fair, if you look from the outside, you'll see that the area we visit in the Senate chamber is only the main lobby, with the Senate Rotunda itself being further inside. That's why it has so few people. All the big players are in the rotunda itself, and in the expansive chambers behind each senate pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place at the senate tower is one tiny room with about 5 people in it. Dealer's Den has scantily clad twi'leks, a live band on stage, several seating areas and two backrooms where quests take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
