Stenrik Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) What is your favorite starter planet? Feel free to explain your vote, especially in the context of being a new player. Tython: (17). . . . . . . ||||||||||||||||| Ord Mantell: (11). . . .||||||||||| Korriban: (22). . . . . . |||||||||||||||||||||| Nal Hutta: (13). . . . . .||||||||||||| (Updated as of post #73) (I already cast mine, reasoning below.) My favorite is Ord Mantell. Maybe nostalgia was a factor here (since it was my first character's planet), but I just think it's one of the best crafted planets of all of them. It feels most "alive" to me, with things happening in the sky, great background sound effects, and continuing NPC fights. Of all planets in the game, it feels most like there is a conflict going on, whereas the other starter planets (especially Korriban) felt deader by comparison. I liked the stories/moral choices overall, and I think it looks great. It's moody and beautiful in a rugged way. Hutta comes in 2nd for me. GO! (ALSO, to be counted for poll, you have to choose ONLY 1. I didn't count a couple people because of this.)

DarthSabreth Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I played all of the planets and while i do agree with you that ord mantel does have a sence of urgency / life to it, I feel really nostalgic about Koriban. The look of the planet, all of the history and lore, the feel of the planet, and when you look up and see the star destroyers in the sky it completes my play experiance. as far as the next planet that you go to Dromand Kass i like better then Corrisant, not that corrisant is terrible it just seems to mimic to a degree nar shada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeterno Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I gotta go with OM as well. It's simply designed better than other starter planets that are already kinda linear in design. OM slaps the main hub in the center and sprinkles things around in a more open world manner. It's the planet that's most aking in design to a mini azeroth and that appeals to me. No invisible barriers, aside from the ocean lol. Gives that "world" feel while others just seem like a ride on rails, especially korriban and tython.

LordRahlik Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Korriban 5/5 stars. Tython 3/5 stars. Ord Mantell 2/5 stars. Hutta 1.5/5 stars. (Hutta isn't really worth a 1, but it's more boring than Ord Mantell). But Korriban rules the skies. No question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silko Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Korriban The birth place of the Sith. what else needs to be said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiek Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 korriban by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunafox Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 For me, hands down, Korriban is the best. I'd rank them in this order.... Korriban, Tython, OM and Hutta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uluain Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I am going to be perverse, but I like Hutta. The whole Evocii situation really drives home just how vile the Hutt Cartel really is, and my dark side Bounty Hunter admires what they have done with the place. As he observed to an Imperial agent, "The Sith should take notes. This is how you subjugate a planet." Edited September 26, 2012 by Uluain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNahash Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Korriban 5/5 stars. Tython 3/5 stars. Ord Mantell 2/5 stars. Hutta 1.5/5 stars. (Hutta isn't really worth a 1, but it's more boring than Ord Mantell). But Korriban rules the skies. No question about it. My thoughts exactly. Hutta is by far the worst one. But maybe it's not so much that it's that bad, it's that Korriban is that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquidacid Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 OM was my favorite but I like pretty mcu all of them... the one thing tho was to me Korriban felt a lot smaller and less open than the other 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebado Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I find OM quite boring, but other than that, Tython pre-level 1 sprint was terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Korriban - only starter planet that ever managed to creep me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limenutpen Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tython. May be because I played it in Beta but that place still has magic around it for me, and I hope to go back there sometime soon. Now I hope BW roles Togruta Race so I can role my Jedi Knight....

Izorii Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hutta - although Korriban is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gokkus Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Tython. Its pretty, jedi-like and tranquil (as a starter world should be ) (I am possibly biased by the fact that my first character was a JK but not a lot) Edited September 26, 2012 by Gokkus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbiorn Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well I've only done two of the starter planets so far, Tython with my Jedi Knight and Hutta with my Imperial Agent. Of the two, I like Tython the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draekos Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Korriban. I just ran through it on my new assasin alt. Ex slave and Zabrak so the dialogue was great and I hadn't been back since last December on my mara. Ord Mantell would be a close 2nd though. I enjoyed levelling my trooper up there as well.

VanderII Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I like Tython Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozrique Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tython - This is my first mmo. I had no idea what the game was about, what I was supposed to do, and had absolutely no use of sprint back then because I was too busy exploring the world! I loved every second on that planet.

ebado Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Not to bash anybody's opinions, but the Tython experience was one of the worst in the game for me, only made bearable after sprint was added at level 1 (like I mentioned above). Did people find the quests particularly intriguing? It felt empty and very bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendaric Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tython for me. I liked Korriban as well, the worst one in my opinion is Ord Mantell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneiK Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hutta. Compact. After Hutta, everything was just scattered and swarmed with enemies you had to push through, run for 15 minutes to get a 10 second talk with someone that doesn't really matter, and run back 15 minutes. Take Nar Shaddaa f.e. It was just running, running, running, and killing hundreds of boring mobs. I guess that's MMO, but I hoped BW could do better...

DasOpossum Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hutta ! Hutta just feels good to play. It is a perfect combination of open world with guided routes for quests. Perfect placed glider points and so on. And, I love the graphic setting of Hutta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikanDelwynn Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Controversially, I have to opt for Hutta as well. It feels less artificial in terms of narrative and design. Haven't tried Ord Mantell yet though. Korriban was also slightly better than Tython, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthZak Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Id have to say either Korriban or Tython Hutta and Ord Mantel are both planets I really dont like, too messy Final vote goes to Tython because they couldve done a lot more with Korriban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
