Darth_Wicked Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 If we have to waddle around underwater fighting big*** sharks let our chars walk faster than kotor did plox. Walking around in heavy gear, underwater, was hard. KoTOR got it right; It added tension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Given we can't swim in game this seems a strange choice as a planet. So I suspect at best it will be a daily area like CZ-198 at worse it will be a flashpoint with little to mark a water world. From the write up I'm also a little surprised Manaan has been chosen. I know it appeared in KOTOR and some people have fond memories of it but it seems to be much like Onicron and CZ-198 where its a step outside of the galactic war which is meant to be heating up. So almost a step away from ramping up a meaningful story bring the war to the forefront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat-Wave Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Shuuru // Personal Datalog Open Datalog This is nice, but a mistake to post it here. What this game needs is in game news, like CNN in the real world. Most players do not come to the forum or web site, this content should be in the game, like the news globes for events like the casino thing. Imagine if you had a Holoprojector in your stronghold that played the "news" and stuff like this was on it, you got an in game mail letting you know "new" news was on the holo. You could also have archives of the holos to go back and view if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBlackJack Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 YAY for officially starting the marketing plan for things that are not GSH. So excited for Manaan BTW. Just because we know there is a Manaan flashpoint... doesn't mean there couldn't also be a Planet. Manaan will be apart of 2.9 as a FP alongside GSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBlackJack Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I have a feeling this is going to lead to great dissapointment. My gut tells me its just a flashpoint not a full blown planet like people hoping it is, maybe not even a daily area. I really hope its a planet, but If there's no plan to make this a planet bioware need to just say it before everyone goes haywire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennettWHU Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I hope they bring Dantooine into SWTOR soon and not as an Operation or Flashpoint. Happy to see a possible return to Manaan, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo_fett Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I am looking forward to the continuation of the story. Imagine if you had a Holoprojector in your stronghold that played the "news" and stuff like this was on it, you got an in game mail letting you know "new" news was on the holo. That would be a call ideal, like they did for some of the past events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 hmm - suddenly the underwater gear makes sense. Is this the promised conquest planet though, I wonder!? So far new planet means new level cap . . . Anyways I'm intrigued ... What conquest planet? What are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickious Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 What conquest planet? What are you talking about? I assume he's talking about the Conquest missions that are coming later in the GSH expansion. Otherwise, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varium Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Sean McKeever by the way wrote this. Hopefully the FP is like the underwater research station in Kotor with spooky atmosphere aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBlackJack Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) What conquest planet? What are you talking about? he means the new weekly Guild events. will be happening on every post it on the game just this one Edited July 18, 2014 by MisterBlackJack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBBP Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) If we do get manaan as a planet, i don't picture underwater content outside of taking a submersible from one underwater station to another and/or to the surface and back. Still, that would be incredibly awesome. Edited July 18, 2014 by TheBBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimessiah Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I guess this confirms that Shuuru was NOT... A member of the Star CabalUnlike what other people implied.

Botho Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I can almost certain it will just be a Tactical FP nothing more. Don't get carried away with all this OMG new PLAN ET, it's not going happen. I would be surprised if it had a daily area never mind a planet or a level cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillCaedes Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I will laugh at each and every one of you who got super excited about this blurb thinking it was an expansion, a planet itself or the level cap. At best we're looking at yet another used and abused "here let me hold your hand because challenging content is bad" Tactical (read as complete *********** joke) Flashpoint. Or a rinse and repeat daily area with little to no significance. For all we know it may as well actually be the continuation of the new flashpoint series thats and I quote "Culminate in a Spectacular Finale that will change the galaxy." (Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.) This communities ability to take a mole hill and turn it into Mount Everest every single damn time is downright hilariously sad.
