BennettWHU Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The cartel coin give away won't make a difference. People have programmes set up to copy a code as soon as SWTOR publish it. Unless it is one use per-account then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allronix Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Considering how they turned Revan into a rambling madman in this game, its probably best if they keep the mysteries about KOTOR intact. Whatever moron that's calling himself Revan is found at the foundry, to me he will always be an imposter. Yeah, since Revan's definitely a chick.. OK, definitely trolling here - but there were some cool in-game bonuses for what turned out to be the non-canonical route, such as BioWare's VERY first same-sex romance arc (and the very first mention of homosexuality in the Star Wars universe - both of which caught them amazing amounts of hell at the time), 2/3 of the biggest dialogue tree in-game (Carth's), and that "opera/kill them all" ending that could be accessed by deleting a single line of code. As for Exile? Well, Mical gets cut a better deal in the fanfic. He's a slapdash, last-minute add-in on the actual game, and his dialogue tree is riddled with bugs and dead ends. Male Exiles get Handmaiden, and she has a fully-developed character arc in her own right, one that ties right back to the overarching plot and plotting with Kreia, Atris, and Exile's past/future. A Light sided Exile is also played as far too much of a passive dupe, IMO, especially in light of Kreia's ever-present and poisonous advice as well as an increasingly dysfunctional crew that snipes and squabbles with each other like courtiers looking for a king's favor. Canon be hanged. I still prefer playing it Light Sided Female on the first and Dark Side Male for the second. Beats the canon story of some idiot who thought he could take on Darth Cthulhu all by himself with no karking backup plan. You "held the Emperor back?" Yeah, dude. Keep telling yourself that.. Darth Cthulhu is effectively immortal and he wants the entire galaxy. save himself, dead. You think a long-running war of attrition isn't playing right into his hands? It keeps his Darths busy, and enables death on a massive scale - sounds like a win-win for him!) And the passive little twit who leaves her followers half-trained to meekly go along with the hair-brained scheme, only to get literally stabbed in the back for her trouble. Meanwhile, Scourge gets off scot-free, playing Karma Houdini on the Knight's boat until he kills the Knight in his/her sleep or something.

Historicity Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Just a forewarning... I did not read through 10 pages of this post, so sorry if somebody mentioned this idea already... But seriously Bioware? A title is the best marketing tool you can come up with to celebrate one of your studios' best classic games? Why not put all of the KOTOR armor from the cartel packs up on the cartel market so that we can directly purchase them for 24 hours? Here is even a tentative list: + Armor of Darth Revan + Darth Malak's Armor Set + The Mask of Nihilus + Bastila Shan's Armor Set + Jolee Bindo's Armor Set + Carth Onasi's Armor Set + The Last Handmaiden's Armor Set + Restored Triumverate Armor Set I rest my case.

I'm guessing you didn't read the entire article, did you? we will be doing a couple of things both in-game, and out. Here are some of the things you can look forward to... So, the title isn't the only thing that will be in the game. Edited July 12, 2013 by LtGeneralGezlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parattus Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 3 days til KotOR's 10th!!!! I'm stoked!!!!! Anyway, Bioware/EA/EAware, i'll admit that the tOR community is right, the "anniversary celebration" you guys have in mind is just plain crap. But i'm not complaining. I'm grateful for the 500 CC gift you gave us, and I plan on rocking the title "Revan's Heir" when I get it. The community, as well as most of the population is only good at 1 thing in any scenario, complaining about everything. I honestly think that these people need to try saying thanks, honestly, every once in awhile. It's the least they can do to give back to the Developers and everyone else involved with creating KotOR, KotOR II, and tOR. So what if it costs 10-15CC to get the title? It comes at NO COST to the player, no matter how they look at it! 10-15CC is an achievement reward. I say Happy Anniversary KotOR and Thank you tOR. And no Community, I'm not defending EAware, I'm just being honest. They're making plenty of money off tOR as is, this isn't some dubious plot to make more money. It's just their way of having a small, and tbh really poor, celebration for KotOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verain Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'll be on travel. I hope to all hell I have enough connectivity to buy the title on the one day it exists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pietrastor Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'd suggest adding more content from KOTOR to this game to honour it, because dudes, what ever did you guys do with the art department that worked for KOTOR? KOTOR truly captured the atmosphere of the star wars movies, the designs for armor, clothes, enviroments and weapons where very fitting. Can't be said for TOR which is often a bit much on the cartoony side.It sure did capture the style of the movies very well 'cause boy, it sure didn't capture the style of the Tales of the Jedi comics at ALL, which it should've done actually. I love KOTOR 1, but it always bugged me that they completly neglected the fashion, design and architecture style of the Old Republic established in the comics in favour of movie style.

RaithHarth Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 How bout KOTOR 3? the thing the grand majority of us wanted instead of an mmo Majority? You do realize SWTOR is basically KOTOR 3 and beyond right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
