Geryl Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I am simply disgusted that there isn't a different skin for this cartel item throne when used by pub toons. I never quite believed all the "devs only care for imps" talk until now. Are you guys gearing up to just get rid of republic faction support altogether?

Voodoo_Papa Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I was thinking about this earleir today and was going to post a thread on it. Basically i was going to ask what the equivelant republic throne would be? Just a blue variety of the overlords throne with a republic logo? I cant think of anything similar that would be so iconic to the republic. Personally i think the throne looks silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larce_Apollo Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Chair is stupid as it is, it being a big red glowing hovaround just lets me know who the village idiots are. Makes it easy to put them on my ignore list. HAI GUIZ LOOKS AT MEAH AND DIS COOL CHAIRZ!!!! @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallach Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) I have to say I'm surprised they handled it this way. It's very lazy and seems like they care very little about how disruptive it is to the consistency of the game's setting. Weren't there very similar floating Senate chair things in the prequels? Why not create a similar "Republic Senator's Platform" for the Republic? I don't think it is unreasonable to faction-lock certain Cartel items in the case that they are so clearly specific to one faction or the other. It's a much better idea than seeing a Jedi Knight floating around the Republic Fleet in a Sith throne adorned with a neon Imperial logo wearing Nihilus' mask.

denpic Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I sold mine for a nice profit That said I think people are sounding a little jelly And if you think it conflicts with lore just think of it as spoils of war I mean Every Jedi knight kills the emperor in their story so its not hard to imagine a few souvenirs Would find their way back to rep fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamenko Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 You probably forgot about the datamined mounts, such as the Senator's Hoverchair. It is basically the Republic version of a floating seat mount. They are supposedly coming in the next patch, so expect to find one in a Life Day Pack.

Satanski Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) BW still shows they dont give a **** about anyone, especially roleplayers community. Other thing is, i cant imagine how anybody could like this lame mount lol. Only eastern games have worse People really will complain about anything. Go play pokemon if you dont care what youre playing. Edited December 2, 2012 by Satanski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpop Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 There are going to be more chairs comign soon with no faction specific skin....but yeah I don't know why this is allowed for Republic players to use. Because if you could not use it as republic people would cry, cry, cry. cry and just when you think they stopped crying, they would cry some more. Its the same reason why you see so many annoying people run around with red light sabers as jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sythian Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Removal of the use of any speeder type from the fleets would be a big start on bringing that lag down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnie Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 This has been covered....datamining has located a Republic version....be patient. while that is correct, explain to me why the imp throne was implemented first even though Bioware definitely knows we all have this 'empire is prefered' feeling? we all know the answer to that one. but it's cool, the underdog always gets screwed over (we're still waiting for sga, after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) This is obviously just greed from the part of EA/BW. I usually defend them in such claims, but this is too plain to see... They could have easily made the malgus/bastila statues as one object that changes looks depending on faction. They could have easily done the same with the flags. And the chair. But they didnt... instead they split them all into separate enteties to fill out the packs with fluff, and now the community suffers for it (well, those of us who care anyway). There will be no "senators hover chair" VERSION of the sith throne... there will be a separate item instead. Just wait and see. They dont give a rats behind about immersion and those of us who care about it. Its all about the cash nowadays.

Lord_Karsk Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Maybe if the chair dident have that stupid red imp hologram on it , it wouldt have been so bad. Anyways yeah developers love Empire thats why they always get the cool stuff, in swtor jedi cant even look like a jedi.....

_biddan_ Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 now i'm going to roll a female dark jedi with the nihilus mask and the throne on a role play server wearing slave girl outfit and pink-puple crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNCommand Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Bioware faction locks something: "Whaaaa, why are some items faction specific? That's not realistic, nobody would stop a jedi from wearing dark armor!" Bioware doesn't faction lock something: "Whaaaa, why are the items not faction specific? That's not realistic, my immersion is ruined!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
