Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

Your not doing anything wrong, the targeting is crap and auto is broken still, the latest build is just riddled with game breaking bugs
as far as ratings go, its definitely above WoW in my book but that doesn't take much for me. Basically its a WoW clone with better graphics(shiny glow sticks), less content, more bugs and wonderful voice acting(anyone who says the voice acting is bad has never actually met humans outside of the internet)

I never said the VA was bad, but it's definitely not amazing, yeah it's good an all but most of the times it feels incredibly forced and aside from a few rare occasions when they nail an evil laugh or snicker or something comparable, it's fairly emotionless. So I don't know why everybody says it's amazing. Cause it really isn't. Reminds me of Oblivion VA, good but not great.

Amazing cast doesn't matter if they're doing something wrong. And yes that targeting is the most frustrating thing about PvP, especially Huttball when I'm trying to target the ball-holder.

Also to EternityEnd, I do not come in here and flame it at every chance I get, until I was like a week into playing the beta I was very excited about this game. I was also cumming buckets when I played it for the first few hours but I can assure you that that feeling goes away extremely fast. All of the problems that I've stated are continually backed up by other posters here so maybe YOU need to step off your high horse when I've been playing the beta for almost 2 months now and I assure you the game is completely average and not worthy of the Star Wars title.

Holy hell the Sith Inquisitor story is terrible. Guess I'll try something else now.

Thank you lol

[Katlan]

Thank you lol

sith starting storylines aren't nearly as good as the jedi

[XalienLevi]

starting? lol

[Katlan]

i havent played any class past 20 to know how well it develops after the noob islands. I liked jedi better but sith inquister is much more fun (basically for the ltng over the lame junk throw)

I agree that the lightning is way better than tossing pebbles at people but for something heralded as the "Palpatine" experience...yea, no.

I wouldn't say the VA was bad either. I have had the luck of being in since the second test, and just do not feel that 90% of the VA adds anything to the game but annoyance. This was my fear when I had heard that they were going to VA everything. Having 90% of every quest/mission VA'd in a CS is something that just gets annoying after a short time. Even coming from XI where we had CS's for most of the quests and missions, these VA'd cutscenes just detract from the overall game and not add to it. As you noted alot of the VA is monotone, unemotional and just plain bland. Toss that into the pot where only the "bonus quests" and a handful of quests from computer screens do not have a VA/CS and it just is too much.

Granted I have consciously decided to not get past 25 on anything so I have somethings to look forward to, I haven't felt it was that bad. That being said, both Jedi and the Smuggler stories have been much more intriguing than the Inquisitor's.

All in all, the game is interesting and fun for what it is. The pvp style is much more entertaining than WoW's (at least its different enough that I am enjoying it much more than I probably should be.) The best thing about the PvP/Warfront/BG's whatever you want to call them, is Hutball. Having a 100% neutral BG map with no faction balance issues is a breath of fresh air.

Huttball really is quite fun, I'm actually enjoying the Warzone pvp more than anything at the moment. The ball court itself with the poison pits and fire blasting furnaces make for some interesting and quite entertaining deaths. It's also fun watching someone who doesn't know how to pass the ball absolutely freak out and get trounced.

Where exactly in Coruscant do i pick up my advanced class? Been running around doing quests and nothing. I probably missed it somewhere.

edit: Found it. Must have run passed it a dozen times.

What the fucking fuck. They realize it is rated T for a reason right? Fucking people I swear.

[Lucavi]

Could just do space-themed profanity to get around it anyway. Profanity that comes from outside sources sounds far more credible and creative anyway. I'd be annoyed, though, if this... "movement" gained enough ground to ensure that no voice acted cutscene ever had a swear in it.

[Dantrag]

"Frack!"

[XalienLevi]

I've heard a few of the NPCs say "Son of a Hutt" plenty of times.

[Zerocool]

They should of made it "Son of a Bith".

No, I'm sorry but even that would be unacceptable to me. The game is rated Teen, and pretty sure says mild language on the fucking box, they can go suck a dick. The game is not rated E, it's rated T, if they don't like it they can just not play it. It's people like in that article that make me want to become a serial killer.
