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

Right! Again :p

What servers are you guys on and can I come join ze Guild and have people to like talk to? :)

I want to play a Jedi btw!
 
I got my assassin to level 21 last night :) nearly level 22. Nar Shaddaa is awesome love the music in that place :D The inq story line is progressing really nicely although I still do not trust Zash at all. She is going to backstab me I just know it !

I'm looking good for getting my speeder at level 25 though. I currently have 85kcred stored up so by the time I am level 25 I should have racked up a fair bit more. I have to say this is the first MMO for quite some time (the last one being WoW :( ) that has really pulled me into the game and want to stick at it. Conan was amazing for like the first 20 levels (I think) where everything was voice acted and was great but after that it was horrible. Rift was also nice but it just didn't pull me in like this has. Maybe its the lightsabers lol :p

Great game and the warzones as sin are insanely fun !
 
Agreed, I love warzones. Alderaan is the best. Huttball is awful as melee without a knockback.

Republic are pretty horrible at them though. Need to get my mumble working....
 
I wonder when Bioware will start trying to balance PvP, because at the moment Consulars/Inquisitors are almost impossible to kill. Their stuns are better than every other classes and so is their knockback, plus they have that movement speed boost thing...They are the perfect class for Huttball at the moment and there is very little you can do to stop them...

I also hope they reduce the length of stuns for all classes and decrease the cooldown to get out of stuns as it is hellishly annoying when you are stunned, break out just to get stunned for another 6 secs and have your health removed...

There is definitely too much CC in general imo. I dont find Inquisitors too bad except for the sprint. I dont have my snare ability yet, so I cant do anything when they sprint away from me.
 
Man I love hut ball is really fun with a couple of friends. As a sin is even more insane. I had one warzone game last night where there was me and 2 other friends playing together. It was really fun like the 3 of us were the pure all star attacking team (for points with the ball) We were having this huge battle on the left wing near their score line. My mate who was a jug was holding the ball. On Skype I said dude lets go American football on their ass throw it long. I then sprinted ahead (using force speed) through the masses of republic jedis and stuff all battling our empire dudes. My mate chucked it right over the lot of them to me who was still sprinting ahead caught the ball right in the open with no one around me and legged it to the score line for a point. You could tell the republic guys were confused with what just happened because they all pulled back and murdered me lol. I said on skype I cannot believe that just worked.

Hutball has the potential to be an amazing game if people work together as a team. In that game there was just 3 of us imagine what it could be like with a full Ops team working as a team :D

Well Inquisitors have some pretty decent stuns which allows them to get round the back of you and use their own skill(No idea what it is called) that hits like a ******* truck! My BH(Had PvP gear on so wasn't due to bad armor) got taken down by one in about 20 secs..

If you look at the end of all warzones the classes at the top for healing/damage are always Inquisitor/Consular and Bounty Hunter/Trooper so I think all of those need a little bit of work(Reducing AOE damage of BH's and Troopers would make them more balanced.

EDIT: 1 hr 45 min queue for ToFN, looks like I wont be playing my main today then...
 
JUst a quick question on PvP servers. I've get every intention of creating a character on one of these at some stage.
Now we're live and people are playing them, can anyone tell me just how "PvP" they are?

I understand the concept of "all out war" but at the same time I like the idea of being able to advance my character now and again without being "ganked" the second I move towards a story/quest zone.

Are there any "safe" areas on the PvP servers?
Is there any restriction on what levels can "gank/attack" you - so say you're a owly Level 15 could a Level 30 still happily attack?
Is it as lawless as it sounds, or are there some basic restrictions?

Ta
 
I'm on The Progenitor. Anyone else on the same server?

Also - What is the difference between PvE and PvP servers? I know what they mean, but does it just mean that a Republican can go to an Imperial world and let all hell loose?
 
Lol got an official warning and post edited by a Moderator on the official forums last night for telling a troll to take his copy back to the shop for a refund as he is too stupid to own an mmo. :)

Sins have maul which is a backstab and yes it hits like a truck ! I do love defending bases for that reason alone. I will stay in stealth and along comes a jedi to cap the gun. Unknowing that I am lurking in the shadows I let him start to cap so he feels all please with himself then BOOM MAUL ! and like 1/3rd of his HP is gone lol. Then its just a matter of finishing up. Use sethe (the heal thing) then straight back into the shadows again ready to pounce on another victim :p

Sins have a couple of stuns as well as a 60 sec stun (Sap) breaks on dmg which is really useful :p We have Shock which has a change to stun, electrocute which is a stun but has a CD. Whirlwind which is a nice CC.

I have to say though the one class I fear the most at the moment is Snipers, I swear if they catch you out in the open they can really do some evil damage.

I think it works well with PvE Empire on Frostclaw and Republic on Kellian Jarro - hopefully these servers will be sorted, and the ability to transfer characters will be added.

Head up - may get a little playtime today and tomorrow, but then away until 27th/28th :(

Good shout m8. Looks like the job im on Will finish tomorrow now. home for tea time hopefully. how are the Q's this morning?
 
I have to admit, I love how the Republic guild on Killian Jarro got it's name. I was stood by the registrar and asked our little group what name everyone wanted for the guild when Sylinx ran up and said, "Nice hat".....and it stuck :D

I'm not on your server, but on some of the busier servers, there was a 90 minute wait at 8am yesterday. I am currently in a 214 person queue on Luka Sene, which normally doesn't have a queue.
