*****Official Star Wars: The Old Republic Thread*****

Anyone else having any problems since the servers came back up?

I fire up the game, log in with my credentials, get the MoTD screen.. click play, and it just stops and hangs on the loading screen.

It seems to be firing up 2 instances of the game when I click play. One of which I can end the process of in Task manager, the other I can't without forcing a reboot of my PC..

Guess that'll teach me for saying anything mildly critical about it :o
 
I have downloaded the set up file. But when I run it it comes up as if it is going to install then. Just vanishes. I cant download the client. What a waste of my days.
 
Is anyone else already bored of the game? It all seems so generic :( The cut-scenes are also pretty annoying, I was skipping the non storylines ones after about an hour.
 
This game is great! the only thing that annoyed me was upgrading my white gun to a blue one and not noticing any difference.

Oh and i just got my companion which I don't really want, is there a way to disable him?

No. I've put probably 150hours in and I still want more! If story isn't your thing then fair play!
 
played up to lvl 5, it's a good game but I dont really think it has any more to entice me than many of the other MMOs out there, it's pretty samey. Guess I'd rather keep playing with my lvl 50 lotro char rather than start afresh in another game that has very little extra going for it.

Was hoping it would be more 'mass effect' than KOTOR.

I have yet to be given a kill X of Y quest except as an optional component of a proper quest with a backstory and a plot. That's a really impressive part of the game for me. I like the light side / dark side choice, adds a bit of variety.

Question - what happens if you choose dark side conversation options as a republic player?

Yeah it makes a difference to the game and will also make a difference to you game as further down the road, you will get things that change for you in-game depending on how dark/light you have gone.
Also a lot of quests where you choose one side of the other plays out differently.

Just mess about folks, try it out, see what you think. Those pre orders can still be canceled or kept!

Level 14 = Sprint
Level 25 = Mount (40,000Cr to Train, 8K to buy mount)

I think you then get faster ones at Level 40 and 50 (think it's 40...)

Correct level 25 mount + 90%, Level 40 mount + 100%, level 50 + 110% in speed

What do you mean?

* Fully Voiced
* Companions
* Story (BioWare are just awesome at it)
* Legacy System (plenty they could do with it)
* STAR WARS UNIVERSE

I feel so attached to all the toons i've rolled and played them all different - its the first MMO, or RPG for that matter I want to roll all classes to get their story!

Remember this is the initial release, how much has WoW and other MMO's changed from their Vanilla state; they are already working on future content and have the voice actors signed on for another 2 years (think I read it was 2).

People are judging too much on the starter planets also - it's basically a tutorial planet - just wait till you get to somewhere like Balmorra... it's MASSIVE with tonnes to do, I'm on my 4th run of it (different toons) and am still finding new things, such as area specific missions I didn't find before - The time I spent on Balmorra was longer then Starter World + DK combined!

It's not perfect by any means

* Like to be able to choose my warzone, love Alderaan, not a fan of Hutball
* Armour is to similar for the levels - everyone looks the same, dye system would be good
* companions also look too samey - not enough customisation there, and it's expensive
* Sprint comes in too late imo, also training for a mount is a ridiculous price
* Graphics could be tweaked, think some areas have memory leaks as FPS just plummit
* instancing can be a pain if you want to group but have quick travelled, need to wait 30minutes for cool down
* commendations used to be trade-able 2:1 on the next planet - needs to come back as you out level the gear to quickly
* more warzones

Ack, they removed that? that sucks, I always kept my starting tokens and converted them in the next area as by the time I got the first pieces of armor I'd out level them in about 20 minutes.

Sprint thing I would agree with but mounts need to be pricey, i'm sick of games that give everything away for free.

Ok its only grinding money to get it but still the idea of having to work for things is still one that appeals to me and I hope and pray they aren't too WoW-esque and give everything away for pretty much zero effort.
