    Any chance you could do voicemails next podcast? They were a fun thing to do and they have been ignored for months now.
  • #31 sado
    We'll do a bunch of them on the next show.
  • #28 DarthNemesis
    For those of the Darth Hater crew that are going to NYCC I hope to see you guys there. if you guys got some XXXL Hater shirts bring some. lol

    Thanks for the shout out! (well kinda) I will say the energy was up more for sure. Had no doubts about the dedication you guys have at all. Just like to hear you get excited about the news... granted what is news to us is likely old news for you guys, but tone and general excitement in your voices does make a difference. Glad you all owned up to being a little worn and tired... you guys are clearly ready for the game already. (me too!)(no mistake Beta email or invite either)

    Totally relate to the thrill of the hunt in visiting the different conventions... granted I only hit maybe 1/4 of conventions you all have made it too, but staying up crazy hours and traveling just to stand in a 7 hour line (PAX East) for 45 minutes worth of play is tough for sure.

    Mostly my comments were only meant to be constructive so hopefully it's all good. Seems like you guys got the message.... Keep it fresh, fun and exciting! HATE ON!

    PS - nothing wrong with a 1 hour Podcast... has been working fine for "60 Minutes" on CBS (of course... I only listen to the tick...tick of the stopwatch and change the channel)

    3 hour talks? I don't think it's needed even when the game comes out. These 45min-1hr podcasts are just right. If they were 3 hours...I wouldn't even finish them. Keep up the good work guys.
  • #26 Akerfeldt
    Let me just say that I disagree with this. I'd totally love 3 hours of DH TOR talk. I listen to podcasts primarily at work, and the more I can eat up my boring work day by listening to subjects I enjoy, the better.

    Sado just needs a hand full of TOR flash cards, throw one up to Dover and say "go".
  • #20 Zetsuimebuke
    Are you guys doing anything special for Episode 100. Does that coincide with Comic Con?
  • #22 hepatitusk
    I am hopeful that we will get an epic Darth Hater Podcast rap from them... *crosses fingers*
  • #17 Roka_Imo
    While on the verge of stopping listening to the podcasts after the last 2 previous to this one... I was happy to hear this one. You guys actually sounded more upbeat and happy about the game. Glad that you followed up on Hammerfist's question(s) on things.

    I'd like to hear Sleeper's comments on this as well in the future, and hope to hear him pipe up on it as well.

    I think you'll find most people are more energetic once con season is over and people get to sleep in their own beds again.:)

    Dover, the Get-out-of-stun ability can be highly useful in PvE, especially considering the devs can expect every character having it. An enemy can stun you, then launch an attack that will land before the stun runs out. Use anti-stun or die... I would love that to weed out the people that can't put 2 and 2 together.

    I would agree that the PvP trinket in WoW wasn't very useable in PvE (a few encounters were nice though), but this was because th devs couldn't count on people having it.
  • #14 theunwarshed
    i got those phantom BW emails and just now i got a beta invite (weekend testing only)...coincidence?
  • #16 Keywork
    I got the phantom e-mails too but no beta invite. So possibly not related.
  • #19 Jonnehz
    SR already said several times that there would be no "compensation" invites for those who got the mistake emails.

    Just a coincidence.

    (I got a mistake email, but no invite)
  • #27 theunwarshed
    perhaps. or perhaps they're throwing out more invites as a way to alleviate the bad taste it left (although i'm one who doesn't believe any "compensation" is needed for an innocent mistake). i just wonder if it didn't increase our chances even a little bit. it'll be interesting to read if you get into the next weekend.
