  • Hrm, ya know, the argument about the ship armor packs would make more sense if buying them actually gave you an "I win" button and guaranteed BH comms out the wazoo.  It'd help if you mentioned that the new missions are freakin' HARD - or at least …
  • Using console hacks in the game gets your character a red exclamation mark over your head which is only visible to other players - it's the "cheater" brand.  I think it's a pretty cool system. In Torchlight  it also meant you lost access to your sha…
  • Can't believe this thread is still going.... It hurts my brain. GW2 is out less than a month, SWTOR released last December.  One is B2P with a cash shop, the other is a Subs based game rapidly headed for F2P.  Iirc, as others have pointed out, th…
  • It's pretty simple, and comes down to individuals.  * There's one type of person who feels like they are wasting money if they cannot play the game they are subscribed to every single day for a given amount of hours (whatever they have decided …
  • I know there are some posters here whose opinions I value - having been on the boards for a while you get a feel for people, for their levelheadedness, their objectivity, and their taste (whether it's similar to your own or vastly different). I say …
  • Yeah I would, especially if a sub got me more bank space, more bag space and a few chest keys a day.  On a more serious note, I'd pay for a sub if they'd up the ante on their support and provide a mobile/physical authenticator. I don't mind paying…
  • Originally posted by Gaborik Originally posted by AvsRock21 OP is wrong. Guild Wars 2 had one of the smoothest launches I have ever seen. In fact, it was probably the best launch I have seen. Get a clue. This guy is wrong Guild Wars 2 has not …
  • WTB overflow login server for the EU. Apart from that  - thumbs up!
  • The only direction I need is the zone competion numbers - I'm an old-school completist. After playing so many games where I'm funnelled from point a to point b on the flimsiest of pretexts, I'm really enjoying the ability to just potter about the w…
  • ITT an awful lot of fuss was made out of a few hours trouble. It seems like nowadays if something doesn't work immediately and perfectly the internet mutates into a giant collective made out of fury. Have we not been through enough headstarts/launch…
  • I would imagine if there was anything in there that was against Star Wars canon / style, Lucas Arts would have been all over it and made sure it was fixed.  If it disturbs you so much, ask them why it is so.  Sidenote: There was a 'Lady' version o…
  • Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?: Yes, followed it from late 2008, was a huge KOTOR fan and was very much looking forward to playing an MMO based in that timeline.  Do you currently play this game?: Yes. If yes…
  • Were you interested in this game before it came out? Why? Why not?: Yes, because of Ragnar and because the modern day / Lovecraftian vibe appealed to me.  Do you currently play this game?: Nope If no, please explain why: I honestly don't know, …
  • Idk about escalation of commitment, it's a nice concept and an interesting thing to think about, but the trouble is - as others have pointed out - it wasn't the VO that did SWTOR in, it was the lack of other things that players nowadays want in an M…
  • I honestly don't think there's fun in a game without challenge. I would never fork out cash to play an easier version - I might do it for a harder version though.  I remember playing games on my ZX Spectrum with no saves and busting my ass to beat…
  • Cleared multiple heroic raids across multiple MMOs. HOWEVER! I always reach a point where I feel resentful at having to block off chunks of time for raids, and where the drama and epeening nonsense that some raiders thrive on creeps under my skin …
  • Originally posted by Gdemami It is EA conference call, not SWTOR conference call. Sub numbers are not an investor interest. If SWTOR was such a failure and EA was doing so bad, they would not sink more money on stock reacquisition. They do it to p…
  • I remember reading the article here by Mike B and wondering how they would implement F2P, as the main issue for me was how they had designed the game - F2P didn't seem to "fit" their model. I think it's the only decision they could make, and tbh, I'…
  • Originally posted by grimm6th Originally posted by terrant While there are "kill x quests" and "ftech x quests", they're semi-disgused and... You have it backwards here.  They aren't disguised.  It is just that other games don't give you an…
  • The white raven mission was bugged in my dimension - how did I know? (spoiler follows- highlight to read) At the area where there are a lot of them, they didn't fly away when clicked on like they did in beta. I asked in faction chat for a port and …
