    Imagine the relief the overextended voice-dialog-mocap-lip-sync team felt when this guy came up.

    ...I haven't had a chance to play yet...do Vader wannabe characters always have a breathing mask on?

    ...

    You can take off your mask the same way you can in WOW and he would speak/lip sync and all as normal. When wearing any type of mask, your voice becomes more robotic sounding, like vader. Its a nice touch.

    oooooookaaay i have to complain about this somewhere so here we go.you can't buy the game on origin, out of stock. digitial distribution. out of stock. what good is origin exactly if it has worse stock than a brick and mortar shop? useless, useless shit.

    then you have a key, you go to redeem the code on origin, and no.. you have to sign up to the SWTOR website. launch the website, and boom, you are in a queue.. to VIEW the website. a queue. on a website.

    fuck off. i don't for a second believe that is neccesary. reddit has 10 million unique views a day, i don't for a second believe that some shitty mmo has 10 million people trying to view the website.

    this whole thing is a massive fucking fail. i don't even want to play the game, a couple friends do, so i get some codes and log on myself, but this is one of the most pathetic launches i've ever seen. and i was there for the age of conan launch.

    Its really odd its sold out, I hear rumors they ran out of server space Rick. The Que thing for the website when I had to put in my code sucks ass but the most useless thing is Origin.

    Have some patience though, there are probably 10 million people clogging up the toilet.

    Speaking about bad launches, I wasn't even able to get WoW when it released for almost 2 weeks because they had no server space and sold out of copies.

    It's because the tanking companion we got aint worth shit, and many other snipers raise this issue on the forums. I am currently level 32 and I have to resurrect her after pretty much every encounter. She needs much more damage reduction and/or a heal-on-hit mechanic.

    My suggestion, yes it sucks, for now, roll a new class. You will only have a much better time.

    I've been playing SW:TOR since Friday, and even though combat isn't an autoattack snorefest, Bioware should look at abilities, cooldowns and mob health as a prio. It's pretty damn ridiculous to have very long cooldowns on emergency abilities (20 minutes?) and that some require a companion (alive) to activate them. You kinda want those abilities when your companion dies like the wet papertowel he is, as a shit-hit-the-fan button. The Fleet Pass cooldown is the craziest in the game, which teleports you to your factions capital fleet where you can find all trainers, crafts, etc ... 18 hour cooldown. Why oh why.In terms of mob health, they have 4 different enemy categories: Weak, Standard, Elite, Champion. But you never or very rarely face weak enemies alone, they are always in at least groups of 3. If you face a Standard enemy, it's either alone or got 1-2 weak enemies with it. And for being a Standard enemy, they have considerably more health and damage. Now if you have heals or a healing companion, you can take on these guys with ease, even if they are more. Heck, you can solo elites quite easily. But if you have a companion that doesn't do this, you are going to find it much harder. I just wish Bioware kicks the health down on a notch on enemies that are challenging for classes without healing companions.

    I play Imperial Agent Sniper, and it's suffering. They better patch the Cover mechanic breaking channels asap, it's pissing me off.

    Yup, I hear you are playing one of the hardest classes to play solo in the game :/ BH, Sith Warrior, and Inquister don't really suffer from this at all. They need to balance your class to fit better with the others. As far as the fleet cooldown, I dont even have that, or dont know about it. You can always just fly/or warp to a flashpoint shuttle or use class trainers around towns near by on every planet. I dont see the problem there.

    I agree about some of the abilities though. They should also count if ur in a group with players too. Some cooldowns are to slow, but some of mine have to be otherwise I would be way to OP.

    Yeah, you should like Starwars if you have any interest in playing this game. Its the only reason I played WOW before was because I enjoy the warcraft world and characters. Wow gameplay was rather boring overall. I find Starwars mmo gameplay much more fun/engaging. There is no auto attack so you are always engaged or you are doing nothing. You also fight multiple enemies at one time vs 1 mob at a time. These additons build upon other mmo's out there but still feel someone more fresh than nothing at all.

    ..Which is also why I lasted about 5 minutes in the world of Skyrim before my eyes started bleeding. I think wow has ruined what used to be my favorite genre. :/ (oh and, when you say companion do you mean a friend in a party because you can totally do quests with friends in wow).

    The Ai controlled sidekick characters, : :derp:

    Character creation is very 2006... It sucks donkey balls. Wasn´t able to tweak my character to my liking... Feels like one of those from crappy FTP MMO´s...

    yes it is pretty lame, and I said almost the same thing, heh. I am however happy with the way my guy turned out. (gear helps so much)

    the guy told me to go into this place and click on something in there and when i was done i was told to go to some city to talk to more people that tell me to do stuff and i was like.. aaaaaw maaaaan ive been doing this so much in wow already, give me a break

    Yeah he actually talked to you with real diaolgue (unlike wow) and you got to make your own choices also 9unlike wow) and you can complete your mission with a companion (unlike wow). Sure its still a traditonal mmo style gameplay but with Biowares level of great Story telling and some other new additions. At least they give meaning to each mission.

    Skyrim does the exact same thing, go do this and go do that, eat some shit and crap some stat.

  • Star Wars The Old Republic

    Been playing for the last 7 days and it is by far the most enjoyable mmo I have played. Bioware really knows what Starwars is all about, so much more than lucas arts.

    If ur on the east coast and looking for a server. A few Ubi foke including myself have a guild on this server.

    Server - Kellers Void

    Characters name - Vardek

    The game is a complete success and unlike other mmo's it plays more like a game than a grind to top level

    I thought the Beginning half was awesome, than at the end, I was like "Who the fuck is this girl'?

    I never played the old D-games. Really looking forward to D3 though.
