VulgarMercurius Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You have to better understand how P.R. works. It was the best possible damage-control move they could have made, ahead of an actual announcement, and puts the focus and discussion back on them rather than on the people mining things. It's a shrewd move. hmmm I see. Shrewd indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malastare Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 For some weird reason I am suspecting Dathomir to show up, too. Revan working with the witches? At least the most recent version of the Lore states that the witches weren't on Dathomir yet at the time of TOR. As much as I'd love to see that planet, setting, and story, officially* the witches arrived at 600 BBY. There's no noted civilization on Dathomir until 3000 BBY (about 600 years in the future, for SWTOR), and even then its not anything that was worth talking about. Besides that... just a whole bunch of rancors. * : Of course, that's all based on 'Legends' material now, so Bioware/Lucasarts could very well do their own thing and put the witches there far earlier than previously established. After all, that was the whole point of the Legends edict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What if.... It was two planets. Dantooine and Yavin IV? Yavin 4 is a moon and Dantooine is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foambreaker Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 meh, not a Revan fan, and he already has a cult a quest chain and 2 fps dedicated to him. Now he is going to be the end boss in a op. I wish they would have gone in some other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he is going to be the end boss in a op. I wish they would have gone in some other direction. Inaccurate. He has four flashpoints dedicated to him, in some shape or form, all of them being part of the Jedi Prisoner or Call to Arms quest chains. He also has that thing on Nar Shaddaa pertaining the Infinite Engine, in addition to the Revanites chain quest I assume you were referring to. Still not enough.

ZionHalcyon Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 What if.... It was two planets. Dantooine and Yavin IV? I think it is going to end up being two planets, however I do not believe one of them will be Dantooine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anysao Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yavin 4 is a moon and Dantooine is unlikely. A blind, deaf, comatose, lobotomy patient can know that Yavin IV is a moon. But I also doubt Dantooine... But due to its significance to the KOTORs alone I'd consider it a possibility. Perhaps the Revanites are visiting the old Enclave to raid old artifacts. Ultimately, we don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandFlurry Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Having completed 8 of these stories, I can't remember anyone saying we are now in open war. Although I don't play the game for the story. I play the game to play the game. Were at full War Now, the devs themselves have stated that the Republic has won a lot of things since the War started, as the Imperials have got some thing, but mainly lost what they were trying to get like Makeb. Plus the Imperials and the Republic destroyed the Dread Masters. I don't know how any1 can think that were not at Full War, when that's what we have had since we first played the game, and when it first came out. Only ppl that are blind and probably can't hear think that the War hasn't started. I could say a lot more of who is winning and not, along with other things. But I don't want to be the person Spoiling stuff. Some1 else can do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codedrago Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 With a lot of people talking about how the Revan we saw isn't actually Revan, the 'Shadow' part could be a clue..... Or it's just saying that since he is a genocidal maniac now, he's a shadow of himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anysao Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Riddle me this, TOR community. If we stopped the Infinite Army (much faster than I expected?), who exactly will we be fighting? I know it's going to be the Revanites, but I mean... Who will be their soldiers? I can understand Revan being worth defecting for, but I wouldn't have thought so many soldiers would fight for him. In the Empire I guess it makes sense- One Sith Lord follows Recan and he brings his troopers with him. But in the Republic...?We saw a few Jedi on Lehon, but their certainly couldn't be too many more of them... Could there? Just my thinking, here. I honestly expected to be wading through Infinite soldiers on 3.0's planet, up until Legends of the Rakata. (for those who still don't get what I'm implying, compare Shadow of Revan to Rise of the Hutt Cartel- On Makeb we were fighting the Hutts and their army of Regulators, on (Yavin IV?) we will be fighting Revanites and their army of ____.)

The infinite soldiers were modified versions of people who were volunteers already. They were not brainwashed ala Mentor in Directive 7, they were zealots for the cause. Just because they aren't now infused with Rakata technology doesn't make them any less the zealot for the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacarro was captured for the sole reason of experimenting on, correct? But that wasn't exactly my point; I more meant if those who volunteered to be made into the perfect army are now dead, the Revanites now lack soldiers. Before they had the advantage of "immortality" over sheer numbers. So now who will we fight? Theorize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the end of the flashpoint, Theron claims that several Capital-sized ships are dropping from hyperspace; Just before that, Also, there's : My followers are Legion. My ranks grow every hour, as more and more people see the truth of the Galaxy. You're overcomplicating it needlessly. The game already provided you with the answers. EDIT: It's Jakarro BTW.

Projawa Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 "Shadow(s)" could mean there's an unseen force behind Revan ie he's being possessed or it's not actually him.I heard rumors of the Nightsisters, or whatever they're named in this era, being part of 3.0 and they could be that unseen force.

If that was the case, then the expansion wouldn't be called "Shadow OF Revan" but something else instead. He's the one casting the Shadow, NOT other people -- presumably -- casting their Shadow over him. Edited October 5, 2014 by Darth_Wicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when articles say shadow government or a shadow operative trailing a target. Shadow of Revan aka Puppeteer of Revan, Revan's Manipulator. Of course this all assumes that post-release BW is clever enough to write some non-hammy intrigue. Edited October 5, 2014 by Projawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
