^They still trust us with the names of our characters though, and I for one feel that no one should take away my right to be captain of the Berth Control. The Darwinism Or maybe just... The Natural Selection...  [Read More]

I'd like to name my ship... dunno if that's possible in TOR since no one has said anything about it. I'll ask around and double check, but I am fairly certain you cannot. Edit : Confirmed you cannot, however I was reminded of a post where the devs...  [Read More]

Don't get me wrong, I've been in beta for TOR and I love the game.. I can't wait to play it at retail. Yes, I know that SWG did not have Jump to Lightspeed at launch.. but they had also told everyone that they planned to add space travel / combat i...  [Read More]

That's not going to happen. Everything that will come after will be on rails. Please don't express your opinion as fact, the devs have stated that the 'Rails' system can and may be replaced post-release....  [Read More]

SWG didn't even have ship at release. So we're already a step up from that. lol Heck... now that I think of it, we didn't even have speeders... everything was on foot... I would expect this will be one of the first expansions, (Adding in proper spac...  [Read More]

This thing will probably run the game at full specs in two instances easily. The real question will be, can we run the game twice at the same time or not. Machine is a beast. I'm jealous, I recently upgraded to dual 6950s. Not sure how anyone can j...  [Read More]

I think they're nearly one and the same these days. The devs are working on the economy and AH features for the game. There are going to be ups and downs in the economy--that's normal. I expect that, especially at release when no one knows what's g...  [Read More]

Honestly, if it's anything like WoW, the AH pricing fluctuates throughout the day. You can literally buy up a ton of things underpriced and sell it all at a killing during prime time. The fluctuations are already there, just not in the artificial sen...  [Read More]

That is certainly a plus side to it. But in all honesty, it doesn't take all that long to update your addons... Curse's website even has an application that does it for you nowadays. Couple minutes of addon updating for a few months worth of better...  [Read More]

I am hoping that we can change the UI scheme, it's something that will bother me to no end if they don't eventually allow modding in this way. I like to personalize my UI to no end. Being a WoW player of 6 or 7 years I find it infuriating when I play...  [Read More]

That's great to hear! The static UI might be abit rubbish but I don't know yet. Anyone got screenshots of it? Sadly, it's VERY SWG standard, with the bright blue color. I was told that nothing can be moved either, which really bothers me. I hate the...  [Read More]

I can't do anything, nor can anyone, until I can see the format BioWare uses for their files. The dot and letters after the file will determine what program I need to use. The user interface isn't the only modding that we can do. For example, th...  [Read More]

I can see the Bigpoint CEO's position. The development costs of TOR are so high that the game has to literally fly off the shelves at an alarming rate. In order to be popular enough to make the dev costs worth it, it has to beat WoW. Then again, mayb...  [Read More]

I consider it sort of turn based as in everything has a world cool down and it does.. You can't just beat on a button and kill mobs with a million saber slashes.. The World cool down basically makes it so both you have a chance to hit the enemy, and...  [Read More]

I don't mind lower level graphics. Hell, I'd be pleased as punch with KOTOR/TSL graphics. It's just some of the art design that bugs me. I'm just not big on the Sith-as-maniacal-wizards-in-over-the-top-outfits and so on. Even if they matched more wit...  [Read More]
