Re: SWTOR .............
It's just that I've heard what a great series it is, although I also hear that KotOR 2 was buggy as all get-out, so I feel that I need to play it to experience it. It's just making myself make it through the first bit until you find out you're a jedi or however the story goes. I hear it gets better from there.

Re: SWTOR .............
Things definitely get better in both games once you hit the Jedi stage - the plateau seemed longer in the first one, so I hear you.
Definitely worth sticking it out.

Re: SWTOR .............
SWTOR is incredibly annoying with some of the things they "locked off". Only 5 Medical Probes is stupid, just extend the cooldown a bit longer. Also I think Emergency Fleet Pass is limited as well. They did increase character slots up to 6 due to complaints, I hope perhaps they would consider making at least Preferred Players not have such limitations.
I wish I could just have the full game and switch to 'offline'. Play it like KOTOR 3 that way then. If I'm playing super late at night I'm by myself mostly. I was surprised though to see 120 other Republic players on Balmorra at once last night during the more peak times. Offline free mode (if you bought the game) would be super cool, just to experience the stories.
One thing that they have to be making some money on is those stupid Cartel Packs. They're fun to blow some free Cartel Coins on, but I could see how some addictive personalities might end up spending $40-50 to grab a bunch of those packs. Its nothing different than buying those $25.00 mounts from Blizzard though. You do get 500 "free" coins each month you subscribe.

Re: SWTOR .............
I used some of those "Free" subscriber coins to unlock pureblood sith so I can play one as a jedi. the male consular voice sounds a tad goofy coming from that race but
the reactions I'm getting are amusing but then again I'm easily amused.
With so many people crowded on the servers these days you just do best in ignoring general chat these days , morons from WoW and other games seems to have migrated there.
Smartass comments and Jawa this that and the other jokes galore Wheee! personally I just play alone, run my own race.

Re: SWTOR .............
Somewhat restored ending??? (Was that PC only?) KOTOR's twist was such a huge OMFG moment for me, completely blindsided me, was awesome. No big twist for KOTOR 2, I never really trusted Kreia in the first place. (for me at least).Kalliope wrote:KOTOR 2's story is what got me, actually - that and the character development. Unfortunately, things did fall apart at the end due to the rushed ending, but I can see the potential there (plus the restored ending somewhat helps). I simply like the Exile more than Revan. The real tragedy is that KOTOR 2 could have lived up to KOTOR, but it never got the chance.
I really did have a gamer crush on Visas though. Chick was wicked cool. Too bad I didnt like any of the mask options for Miraluka's in SWTOR. Really wanted to play that class.

Re: SWTOR .............
My husband wants to play with me again now. Yay! I had an imperial agent I was playing, and he had a bounty hunter. Asano is my solo character, so it'll be nice to have something to play with the hubby, too.
I know I took a pic of Asano tonight, but it wasn't in the Screenshots folder for some reason. I did, however, find an old one that I had forgotten about that I really, really like. Unfortunately there's some chat in the corner, but oh well (perhaps I'll make a thread for pics).

Re: SWTOR .............
Like I mentioned above, I just renewed my sub. A few quality-of-life things have been added that I notice here and there, such as sorting your inventory and hiding your companions' head slot (with a sub, of course). For me, the game must be played with a sub because otherwise, there are just too many things I'd miss. Some people may not care about those little things.
The gameplay itself is still much the same. It's mostly story-driven, but that's just fine with me. That's actually one of the reasons I came back. GW2 was starting to feel too.....quiet. I mean, GW2 has its voiced quests, I guess there was just a bit of a gap or something; that and I like being able to make choices as to what I want to say. The girl in me missed the romance storylines, too.
I'm sure that in time, SWTOR will get boring again, at which point I'll cancel my sub and flit over to something else for a little while. But, for the time being, it's satisfying a craving for choice-driven story.

Re: SWTOR .............
Currently have a open Suikoden 2, 3, and 5 game open that I'm working on.
Its nice without having pressure of keeping up with quests or dailies or time left on your bonus XP. No rush

Re: SWTOR .............
Its fun to dink around for a hour here or there a couple times a month. I think that's about it though unfortunately for me. Cartel Packs are kind of fun to open if you have extra Cartel Coins. I do like my story plot line, I'm just not motivated to continue on during the more "dull sections".Heleos wrote:Now that it's 2013, I'd like to see if anyone's view on the game has changed? I log in from time to time, but that's about it. Never built up the strength to carry another alt to lvl 50. So I log in on my trooper do a run or two and log out for a week or so. (Good things its f2p)
It just doesn't have the community capabilities that WOW has I think. There aren't as many things to do as well when you hit end game I believe besides raids. I'm not a big fan of the dungeons, I thought they were going to be much more like the first 1 on each side (forgot the names, but where you had a bunch of dialogue options). But later on mid teens / 20's the dungeon just has a basic "press this button to kill innocent people / let them live" option that is too black and white.
