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

Need to get back into this, only just renewed my sub. Think I should try a new class. Ideas?

Love my Juggernaught and Merc, just got bored some-how....What should I try now? P.S. Didn't like the Smuggler...
If you haven't already try out a Rage spec on your Juggernaut, it's a whole different game.

Other than that i can't help much, since the changes to Ilum i have 1 of everything and play them all until they give us some proper end game pvp.
 
I am on the left side of the skill tree, unsure of name. What type of play does RAGE give me? Currently re-downloading the game after a windows update borked EVERYTHING...

Left tree is Immortal, its the tank spec. Gives great survivability in PvE but pretty much worthless in PvP. Rage is all about the big numbers from the Smash AoE crits. Forceleap and Obliterate proc 100% crit chance on the next smash and Force Choke & Force crush both give a stacking buff that amounts to 100% extra damage on the next smash making for some nasty damage.

1 shot groups of normal mobs and use a consumable or two and you'll be AoE critting twice every 15 seconds for up to 6k ish in PvP.
 
perhaps some of us had higher hopes.

Then next time stop thinking about delusions of grandeur and just be happy with what you have.

And talking about the issues isn't whining, it's simply discussing the bad points so that others can see them.

It becomes whining when the same people keep posting in the thread saying the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Make your point, discuss it a little and move on. Don't wait for another 2 pages and copy and paste what you said 2 pages ago.

The fact that you feel this game is so amazing I find odd, it's an ok game but certainly isn't the greatness you seem to make it out to be imho, but that's ok, because people are allowed to have different opinions and are allowed to talk about them here!

I find it odd that you can think of a single game on the MMO market that is better then it. Because there clearly isn't ;)
 
Having risen to the lofty heights of Gladiator, I sauntered off back to Taris to continue with my PVE adventure. Sadly it's proving to be a bit of a chore. :( The game seems a lot buggier here and the mobs ain't 'arf tough, even being one or three levels above most of them and sporting reasonable gear.

Well I have to endure the grind on Taris or return to grinding Hutt Ball and trying not rise to the bait and let rip on the '1337' PvP'ers crying over not winning every single game. :rolleyes: I wouldn't mind so much but Frostclaw is a PvE server.

Tough choice, but either way I'm determined to finally break my duck and get a character to max level in a MMO.
 
In your opinion it's a great game and that is fine, but perhaps some of us had higher hopes. And talking about the issues isn't whining, it's simply discussing the bad points so that others can see them.

I never said it was amazing I said its a great game, whats amazing is people like you reading one thing while I write another.

The game has tons of faults, never once said it did not what I said was whining like a 4 year old kid on these forums will not get it sorted, what I have said is people are sick and tired of seeing the same people whine about the same things, what I have said is take you whining to the swtor forums where it may do some good!

..
 
Our open world on Ilum PvP tonight :) ..was quite a few epic battles!

The brave few standing before the hordes!



Now I recall The Immortals ragged, strange armoured young men, some in paint who move silent like the fog with deadly purpose in their eyes. Swift, Silent, Deadly. I smile, as the Sith fade away

amazing..great...oooo so different, you can argue over the exact wording all you like but it's the same thing. What your comment really meant was "unless you have only positive things to say like some fanboy take it else where".

I've not seen anyone really whinging about this since before the last 2 major updates and this is a place where people can discuss both sides of the argument.

As I said, you do seem to think it's great/amazing which is fine, but if people want to talk about the negative sides then let them.

not at all I have run this game down often, only a idiot would think it does not have major problems, the point you lot don't get is you bang the same drum day in day out, we heard it once that was fine, problem with all kids they have to repeat the same crap over an over and bloody over, thats the issue go tell your school mates as we sick of hearing the same rubbish over and over!
 
Soo I see wab and co doing loads on the Immortals, while the Dark Immortals rarely see 3 or 4 people on a night, in fact that would be a busy night.

anyone care to venture to the dark side? Or will I have to level my Jedi Knight and mothball my Sith Warrior to see action like that shown above by wab?

FYI; I don't want to do the above, despite my secret crush on my Jedi. It is that current midrif top she has on; I am sure it will pass.

Seriously if you had an ounce of sense you would realise that the quickest way to get people to point out the very obvious and massive flaws in this game is to swan around acting like you own the place. Discuss the game, talk about the fun you're having and you'll have far greater success with joe public than constantly coming off as a delusional anorak fanboy in a thread you have absolutely no say over.
 
this is a place where people can discuss both sides of the argument.

I agree, but discussing by definition doesn't mean you can repeatedly keep beating a dead horse.

Just because you say "this game is crap, i'm un subscribing" and the general masses don't follow, doesn't mean you keep posting the same negative things until you get a reaction.

I posted a while back that i felt this game was a single player with a multiplayer aspect, i do still feel that way, but we discussed it within the thread and i left it there. There was no need to keep bringing my point up continuously.

But people like Arknor (as i proved) kept posting the same comments over and over again, ruining this thread for people like me and others who actually enjoy this game and appreciate a discussion.

TLDR; Post your concerns and comments, discuss them and move on. Don't keep going until you get a reaction.

I'm not seeking success, just telling it like it is, which seems a few have real issue with,
whining about the game on this forum, helps no one, fixes nothing, is totally un-constructive (is thats word :p)
acknor in fact was kicked from the guild for this very reason, lol people were putting him on ignore it was so painful!
 
Finally relented and bought the game yesterday after being talked into it by a bunch of mates that are playing.

Have to say I'm having an absolute blast. Been a long time since I enjoyed myself this much in a game. True I'm only level 10 on both a Jedi Knight/Sith warrior but damn, the 10 odd hours I've played so far just shot past (5 this morning / 5 last night).

Will it last all the way through? Who knows! Hell do I care? Nope. Can see this being well worth the money just for the class story lines at the moment.

Haters going to hate regardless, although why people continue to post when they have quit / unsubbed is beyond me. I've been through more MMO's than I care to remember.....never felt the need to post once I'd quit though. Guess thats the difference between old gamer like myself and the kids today!

Latex, this came up because someone asked what people thought of the game. They obviously want opinions, good and bad. The poster in question isn't going to wade through hundreds of posts, so he asked for opinions.

We gave them. You threw your toys out of the pram because it's not the first time you've seen them. Tough, this isn't your personal thread, and the posts were for the benefit of someone who specifically asked for information.

Get over it.

I hate to put a dampener on your vid, but at no point does it look like you're out-numbered :p If anything the vid gives the impression that you were either evenly matched or if anything the greens had more men. At times a load of your guys were off-camera but still clearly there.

Probably the right way to deal with it. Since the great schism of subscription day theres been mostly posts about people discussing specs. And im sure that made people curious about the game. The same faces arguing the same points just distracts from that. If you want the criticism to die just let it go and dont draw attention to it, a one sided argument doesnt last long. People have their say and go.

I agree, I have not said a lot about them just the last few answer, and done replying anyway.
