collinc Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Wouldn't want something as awesome as that being spoiled. Revan turning around? So worth the months of waiting. I have to give it up to all the people who said just be patient, there is good reason they're holding it back. I definitely would not have been able to get excited about that video had I not played forged alliances. And the fact that I played forged alliances definitely did not make the reveal stupid and pointless. /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More important is where he is... which looks like Yavin IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I'm so confused right now and I'm usually critical of whatever Bioware does, whenever it comes to communicating stuff to the public... What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? If you can't see anything of value in there to make you think, then you're not trying hard enough.

stuartjs Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? I believe people expect at least 10 seconds of something they didn't already know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collinc Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm so confused right now and I'm usually critical of whatever Bioware does, whenever it comes to communicating stuff to the public... What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? If you can't see anything of value in there to make you think, then you're not trying hard enough. I'm simply referring to the fact that for weeks or months, people were asking for anything from 3.0. And the white knights on the forums always said that it was so important for the story that nothing is teased or revealed. And clearly, now that the teaser is out, nothing was revealed or teased that could not have been teased months ago. Even if they had released this before FA part 3 went out we wouldn't have known the ending. The end of FA part 3 was mineable for weeks before this little teaser. If it was so important that people not know about Revan at all, then why make it mineable? And why is it so important to not know that Revan is involved? He very obviously wasn't dead. He's a major character in the games, probably the most major character. It's silly to think he wouldn't be back after he disappeared in a flash of light. And all this teaser would have done months ago is get people hyped for his return. Instead, we already know he's returned and we get to say "well, huh, what was that?"

What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? If you can't see anything of value in there to make you think, then you're not trying hard enough. Personally I expect some new information. Everybody and their mother already knows Revan's back. It can still be short (a teaser should be) but it should contain a piece of juicy information as well. For example: Open with a shot from behind of Revan, who just says "It's time." You hear a voice off screen say "Yes, master." Then the camera pans to show you Malgus, alive and kneeling before Revan. Immediately cut to black. THAT'S a teaser. It would still be short, but it would give people a single piece of information that would make them go "Holy heck! Did THAT just happen?!?!" I was under the impression that the whole point of a teaser is to get people talking. To create buzz. This video did neither. Important thing to note hear is this is simply my opinion and I could very well be way off base here. But this is how I happen to see it. The "teaser" we saw today was utterly lackluster to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) If people know for sure where Revan is and who's sitting on that throne that is not facing him, please do share. FACTS while at it, NOT theories. I have plenty of the latter. Edited September 16, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danw Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Well... to be fair, showing Revan before his giant holo-head "reveal" in the Rakata Prime flashpoint would have been poor execution. More important is where he is... which looks like Yavin IV. Where he is only matters IF it's an area to quest/explore in, not if it's the location of a FP or OP.

Darth_Wicked Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 You're really reaching here. Dunno why. Yavin-IV was featured prominently in one of the Galactic Timeline videos. The Emperor at the time sent a Sith Infiltrator to neutralize Naga Sadow's spirit, before the Sith Empire reintroduced itself to the known Galaxy. Plus, one of the mails sent to player characters says that...The Sith Inquisitor stands alone on a moon. Last I checked, Yavin-IV is a moon.Calm yourself.

FACTS while at it, NOT theories. I have plenty of the latter. I had to go back and look to see that throne was not facing him. I thought it was the first couple times I watched. Why would a throne be facing the wall like that away from the hall anyways? Weird. Anyways, there's no point in guessing as far as I'm concerned.

I guess it's supposed to be a reference to the...Revan novel. In the cover, Revan does that pose exactly like that. Same armor, different color crystal. In that case however, the Emperor is already facing him, on his throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? If you can't see anything of value in there to make you think, then you're not trying hard enough. I tried really hard looked at every corner of the room and the character and did not see anything I didn't already know. If the location is something there is not enough to go on, I could come up will several locations, doesn't mean they are right...this teaser was nothing, since we know his return from FA FP #4. Also, this is typical BW writing (FA part 4) where they write out one of their best ideas (the star forge) before it actually gets any use, same as Darth Malg, JK story, the war itself, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do people expect from a teaser exactly nowadays? If you can't see anything of value in there to make you think, then you're not trying hard enough. People are impatient. A teaser is meant to be a small tease that something is actually happening. Rarely do they actually give any information. We know we will be getting the full reveal before the month is over. Wether this means small bits of information over the next 2 weeks or not idk. But within 2 weeks we will have all of the information we want about it.

Warrgames Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I seriously don't understand why people are upset about this. Haven't you figured it out yet. BW hypes about anything and it turns into a huge let down. So why bother? I didn't waste my time watching their stream because I knew it was going to worthless and something everyone knew before FA3 came out. They are all talk and can deliver.

There are lots of moons. You're really reaching here. Do a google image search for Yavin temples. The stone style is similar. There is greenery common with the forest nature of the moon. Yavin IV has a rich history regarding the force, particularly Exar Kun. I of course am merely speculating, but I wouldn't call it a stretch...
