The big announcement by the end of the year. Is it still happening?

As far as I remember one of the dev posts about the "upcoming expansion" also mentioned some sort of a big announcement by the end of 2014. Forum regulars probably know what I am on about and can help me find the proper qoutation :)

 

Help, Lord Wicked, pls.

The Big Announcement is about "traditional Jedi Robes," and how they're coming....

 

 

 

in 3640 years.

 

stahp... They exist in this era / time period / Cold War and Great Galactic War. Just not in the game for some unknown reason.

This is all official, not fan art.

 

I love the last one where you can see Jedi wearing traditional robes and some are not. Why cant' we have the same in game?

 

Please stop with the time period argument becuase it's totally rubbish. :l

 

And yeah, I meant 2014! Can someone help me find that darn post? It did concern the expansion before it was officially announced.

Those "traditional Jedi robes"? They all trace back to Obi Wan's robes... only those "traditional Jedi robes" were worn by all sorts of people on Tatoonine. The entire thing with "OMG Jedi robes!" starts with Obi Wan wearing the local garb on Tatoonine.

 

Some comic book artists assumed they were Jedi robes for some reason.

 

Then Lucas got senile and up his own bunghole by the time Phantom Menace came around, and made them the "Jedi robes".

 

:confused:

Last line:

Starting in Game Update 2.7 is the beginning of a story arc that will go throughout the rest of this year. The conclusion of that story arc is going to be EPIC, and lead into a big announcement.

 

This what you meant maybe? Hope so cuz it was a pain to find :D

Sadly, nearly every board member read that quote incorrectly. The quote was always for 2015. It was going to come after we'd had time to digest 3.0. So it could happen fairly early in 2015, but I would not expect to see any announcements even of 3.1 for this week. It's the holiday's just enjoy.

 

ronniehenlau provided the quote above.

I think he's referring to the announcement about plans to improve q times for pvp (and pve). It got hyped up by a few players. Ultimately we did get an official confirmation that there are, in fact, plans in the works to address (population) issues that was very short on details and said something to the effect of: "next year there will be changes and we are aiming to make everyone happy".

Yoda was also wearing them on Dagobah.

The whole thing about traditional Jedi robes is strange, for one several of those designs are around. Another more important thing is that in this time period, Jedi battle armor was the traditional garb, as well as just a general variety of clothing. It wasn't until 1000bby+ that the Jedi seriously put down the armor in favor of robes, to enhance the image of peace.

 

:rolleyes: oh well.

Couldn't have said it better myself :D

 

(as for Yoda on dagobah, no, he's not wearing "traditional jedi robes"... he's just wearing a tattered robe (with no hood, mind you) and the garments under that are not consistent with the ones obi-wan wore, so unless "traditional jedi robe" just means any old robe, then no, he wasn't wearing that)

thx to the good people who found the qoute. looks like i forgot how it went and the big announcement was the return of the Emperor (which was obvious that he will return).

 

And how did this suddenly turn into a jedi robe thread? I certainly didnt' start it but if you wanna discuss Jedi robes i'll gladly make another thread! Just make sure it's 10 pages long, at least, please.

 

Okay. You don't want them to be named "traditional". I didn't coin this term, I am repeating after wookiepedia. How do you want me to call those medieval monk - kimono / gi mixtures from prequels? Because they certainly should have a place in this game and time period.
