Felioats Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) The Cartel Market button is really annoying. Thankfully, it can be shrunk and darkened in the UI customization. Oh and lightsaber > gamorrean axe. I could only see myself giving this to some companions, but I doubt it can be used as a techblade or vibrosword.

orpheus Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The Cartel Market button is really annoying.

Stradlin Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) The Cartel Market button is really annoying. Thankfully, it can be shrunk and darkened in the UI customization. Phew. Cheers. This deserves to be quoted a couple of times;in video it looks like a massive middlefinger in your UI. If only procs/debuffs/buffs bar had even 50% of space they've sacrificed to dat sweet button.

Meglivorn Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The Cartel Market button is really annoying. Thankfully, it can be shrunk and darkened in the UI customization. Huh... I was really worried that it'll stuck there like that. It really looks something just throw on the screen without any planning or design. Awful. But if I can move it away, and resize, don't care.

Costello Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have seen some very stupid things but a throne with rockets on the bottom so so you move about while seated? Really Bioware? From the video it even looked like it went up to speeder piloting 3 so would ba as fast if not faster than speeders. So people will be flying around on floating thrones. And yet sitting on a stationaty chair is too much work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danvir Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 "...replace your lightsaber with Gamorrean axes..." Shut up and take my money! That will be amazing for my River Tam inspired Marauder... >:3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromedbustop Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Wonder if we'll be able to use cartel coins to fix some of the bugs that have been around since launch. That would be pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbr Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Can't watch these videos without downloading so not going to bother, do they mention using cartel coins to remove the 1.4 desktop crashes? Even to use them to reimburse lost WZ tokens from fore-mentioned crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurreth Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The Cartel Market button is really annoying. Thankfully, it can be shrunk and darkened in the UI customization. I'd like to... uh... N-th that motion. It should be part of the normal menu, at most in a slightly different shade of blue. I already find the blinking help/service button annoying (try ignoring it after it has been active for a month due to some stuck tickets), and that cartel market thing is just out of place. Next episode: custom armour. "When you buy access to months of operations and warzones, you can make those really good." Sarcasm aside: they're actually a nice thing to mention, since they give f2p players an option at a decent look with planet commendations, and without buying the colour unification unlock. All in all, I feel appropriately marketed to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoreris Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I can never watch any of the swtor videos on the website......guess I have to wait till somebody uploads on youtube... Has anybody else been getting low quality and ALOT of buffering and lag with there on site videos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saremun Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 i thought the throne is something you can have in the ship but well look like its almost like a new speeder or hovering chair which is really ridiculous! other than that, looking forward to the rest of items!

NasDragon Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 will they add past items such as rakgoul pet to the vendor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraiven Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'll bet you Devs are indeed "excited about the Cartel Packs" It's your best ripoff scheme yet... congratulations, Bioware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnyHoward Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 A flying chair? That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Hopefully they will make it so it's a lot slower then proper speeders/mounts. Because everyone flying/driving around in a chair is just beyond totally retarded, I demand the guy who came up with this idea be fired and never allowed to work in the gaming industry again.

Esno Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Have a guild called "On The Throne" with a pre-requisite of everyone using floating thrones lol, would be a sight to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggthebase Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) Is it only me who is shocked at seeing Blaine Christine's face? With all the layoffs at EAware and the people who left on their own, I can only guess at the amount of stress and additional work that has fallen on Blaine Christine's shoulders. Look at the poor guy's face, he seems completely dead tired, his eyes are rimmed and red, his skin is pale. Maybe I am imagining things, but he seems overworked. EAware has been killing its remaining developpers... "look we laid off two guys, the third guy remaining must now do the work of 3 persons but we don't care this must be done!" Could it be the real reason the two founders left Bioware?... Compare to the same Blaine five months ago at E3 for patch 1.3 Edited November 9, 2012 by Oggthebase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkfalstaff Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Evidently Bioware has banned razors as a means to save money.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be the real reason the two founders left Bioware?... Compare to the same Blaine five months ago at E3 for patch 1.3 He looks tired and there's no doubt workload has increased, but he also has more facial hair, and the lighting is very different. At E3, he had a spotlight on his face. This new video looks dim and yellowy by comparison. I'm sure there was a higher energy level at the convention, too. http://i.imgur.com/ZU2sl.jpg I'm not exactly disagreeing with you, and I certainly don't want to pick on Blaine. I'm just pointing out a few factors to consider. Edited November 9, 2012 by Felioats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
