flyersfan Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My favourite is Hoth quickly followed by Dromund Kaas. Depending on how Sith-like I feel, Dromund Kaas takes the top spot from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christhesithlord Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'd probably say taris, it brings back memorys of kotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCummerbund Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 To me, a planet needs three things: it needs to look beautiful, have an interesting story, and it needs to feel Star Warsy. Tatooine, far and away above the others. Geographically, I like it because it has the most variety. Sure, lots of sand dunes, but lots of rocky places, towns, and plenty of weird junk out in the desert. I also liked the balloon ride. I also really love the planet story line, especially the Republic side with Laksende, Fauler & Orden. This was, in my opinion, the best bit of story writing in the game. Lastly, there's the Star Wars factor. "nuff said here. My second favorite planet so far has been Ord Mantell. For those who, like me, had never played a Star Wars game or seen any "EU" stuff, it did a really good job of showing how the Republic isn't all "good guys", & the Empire isn't always the "bad guys". I don't think I would have ever bothered playing an Imp if it hadn't been for Ord Mantell. I really love the look of the place too - each region looks different, and I think it really ties together well. I'm kind of surprised that so many people liked Taris. To me, it was really monotonous - every bit of overgrown jungle looks just like every other bit of overgrown jungle. I do remember climbing up on one bit of rubble just to get a good view of one open area, and it kind of looked like I'd imagine Central Park would look after a similar apocalypse. I found the rakghouls slightly interesting, but not as good as many other planet quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralProjection Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Aldreaan and Tython for visuals, especially for finally getting to set foot on Alderaan before it's turned into space dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscad Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Mine would have to be Korriban. Simple reason is, when I waited all those years to play SWTOR and finally started my Sith character I was really impressed with Korriban. I had a lot of fun those first days of playing SWTOR and loved the quest and the lore behind it all! Sadly that feeling has long passed, but I will always remember how excited I was to see Korriban and how much fun I had questing there with my 1st and 2nd toon! ^ I agree with this, Korriban was my favorite planet. I liked the Sithy feeling that I got from Korriban, plus everything was within a reasonable distance. Actually, I think Korriban was the first planet that was developed.

DrewFromPhilly Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Dromund Kaas by far, it's awesome. It's so dark and foreboding and the quests there are all awesome. Like the polar opposite of Coruscant which I guess is what it's supposed to be, but still. Was even more awesome being there with my Jedi Knight in the Doomsday quest line, seeing the citadel in the background with the imperial cityscape with the lightning and everything...and my lone Jedi taking on pretty much the whole place - awesome. Probably my favorite moment in the game so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oMGitsree Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I really like Voss for looks and feel. I like Tatoine for the Cszerka storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urael Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Voss. It is the most visually appealing planet and the first planet that was actually challenging and made me think about what I was doing instead of facerolling and button mashing.

tolaf Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Korriban and Dromund Kas are equally the best for me. Love the sith feeing and interesting quests of korriban. For Dromund Kas i love the quests, the flora, the beautiful city, a more open world feeling in the jungle, and i love that the planet actually has some sort of weather.

legbamel Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm on the Tattooine and Voss bandwagon, too. Aleraan comes in a strong third, party because I'd always wondered what it looked like and partly for the wonderful taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicKat Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I really like the Taris (Rep side) map. I really hate the Taris (Rep side) quests. They are so mind-numbingly repetitive that it forces the player into completely tuning out the awesomeness that is the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varnast Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 (edited) Dromund Kaas: Dark and stormy. Imperial Taris: It has the sense of a deserted city with all those metallic sounds, and strange creatures in the night. Quesh: Pure industrial decadence. Orange horizon from pollution. Tattoine is nice too with the desert and blue sky. Korriban is also nice but I can't say enough about how cool it would be at night...

Bojangle Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 In all honesty I really love them all. Hoth and Tatooine though weren't my favs even though they did a decent job on em, but just got old fast. But I really like Nar Shaddar and Coruscant.

Pathlight- Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 My 2 favs are Tatooine (mainly because of the movies) and Tython (absolutely gorgeous). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazDoit Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 So im just curious to know what everyones favorite planet was once you completed your story and why? We all had our favorites and it would be interesting to hear what everyone thinks. I think my favorite planet is Dromund Kass, the jungle, the dark city, the rain, I already feel a bit nostalgic everytime I go back there. Also as one of the earlier planets its full of class quests and the world quests with the revanite and the dark temple are pretty interesting.

midwaypark Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Absolutley loved Hutta!! The feeling of running around as a bounty hunter felt amazing and I can never get over the feeling I got when first playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidichIorian Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I like the settings on Voss and Tatoine. I really dislike Balmorra, both missions and setting, and while Alderaan is a nice looking planet I can't stand it due to the long distances and horrible path'ing.

thatghost Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Dromund Kaas and Taris. I'm so fond of Dromund Kaas that my main 50 hangs around there instead of fleet. (worst? Balmorra- I think the primary reason I've been so slow in leveling my agent is Balmorra Again Syndrome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taernal Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Interestingly enough the starting planets for me. Hutta for my Merc and Korriban for my Sith Assassin. Belsavis and Taris were my least favorite. Probably because each was cumbersome to navigate imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyferra Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Tattooine, Alderaan and Hoth. They don't feel like a maze and offer some exploration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cieraa Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Story wise id say Belsavis. Really enjoyed the story aspect on that planet, and the big monsters were kick *** too :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelAU Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 My favourite planet is Taris, on both factions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurellian Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Nar Shaddaa for me. Love the way it has a Las Vegas feel to it. A close second would be Alderaan. Awesome background music, beautiful landscape and (for the consular anyway) really engaging story. Edited August 26, 2012 by aurellian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
