Avatarless Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Ok. For the record: that was the final patch for SWG and was simply added in for fun. It was not a viable thing to have atmospheric flight, but since no one was playing the game and it was being shut down they didn't care. If SWG was still live that would not have been added as it caused far too much clutter and lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They finally figured out how to do it and it was epic. Thanks Edited April 13, 2012 by Saereth_Darklighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stradlin Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Flying mounts would be an awesome idea. After introducing them, BW could hold weekly contests. First person to actually meet another player Earns 1 mil credits. First person to meet a player of opposint faction, 100 mil credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talorya Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) So...is this about wanting true flying mounts/vehicles in SWTOR or just saying that SWG did it? Because true flying mounts is unlikely to ever make it in this game, due to the nature of holo/datacrons for one, and the restrictive nature of the game in general. Giving players this degree of freedom is not in SWTOR's current plans, if it lasts a few years, maybe. Edited April 13, 2012 by Talorya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is pipes and corridors, things would look horrid from air. ....Or revealing, rather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ravenhurst Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah that's my favourite video too, best parts after 2 minutes, walking around the ship and watching players down on the ground. That will never work in TOR because of the nature of the planets, everything instanced, no open world and the architecture / terrain is not like on real planets. SWG a ten year old masterpiece concept and game is dead, gone to heaven into the eternity of visionary programming code. *bagpipes-SWG shot to planet Genesis in a torpedo tube* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
