"Pre Order Incentives" (Looks) {Sees Image of slobbering hutt} ...... XD
Honestly I love story but alittle disappointed at the direction of this first pack from what has been preliminarily announced. The story doesnt seem exciting, was hoping for some ancient mystery to be solved or a way to make my toon the new emperor/battle satele shan but I am more than willing to try it out. Already preordered and hoping for a good time for my level 50s. :)
Many fond memories of this podcast, from shortly after TOR's announcement until it's anniversary of release, I have been one of those listeners who always loved going throughout their day and putting on the ocasional podcast from them bi-weekly while working or coming home from a long day at work.
Ran into several members of the staff at PAX East, the first and only convention that Iive ever been too in 2011, I rermember how elated I felt at not only getting to play the one game I came all the way to the convention for, but also knowing that DH staff were within those walls.
The level of professionalism and in-depth review that the site has offered over the years has shown the calibur of not only the podcasters but the DH staff in general. I give you all a fair salute and wish you all the best; It is my hope that some of you are finding TOR to be getting better by the month as I am, and will someday return to the game if any of you are planning a hiatus after this.
Again, thank you all alot for your combined effoets over the years.
Sincerly, Sean.
If true, First Freemans mind gets into contract issues with Machinima, now DH with curse... sigh. hoping that Some of DH's crew might consider guesting on TORWARS or one of the other podcasts after taking a break from the game.
Great and excellent write up on one of those odd fps. The greatest issue I ever had in groups was wipes with the first two normal mobs, after that focusing on the bosses was easy imo.
Truthfully I've had to disable RR in the fp que list because it popped TOO OFTEN for my alts in the 43-47 range, though I have no complaints on the fp as a whole, except that it could use more story.
Sith looking gear for my ds jedi knight, kira carson and lord scourge, rep looking gear for Asoka, jedi robes for my traitorous lightside warrior, a trooper/smuggler outfit for my undercover agent, and two black market loot rolls. The rolls were meh, but got a nice emote "menace"
Do you think that there will ever be a full on story expansion (class story chapters, not just a planet like Makeb, more akin to WoWs Mists of Pandera or Bethesdas Dawnguard/Dragonborn) or since the turn to free to play and the 6 week release schedule, the game will be pretty much finished on that end with no further plans for major expansions?
Also, DH did some awesome let's plays back in the day of testing/launch, with the release of the new content, is there anyway(barring scheduling/server conflicts) we could get the podcasters for a recorded raid/and/or a lets play on HK so we can see y'alls skills or in-game reactions to content?
Let me put it this way, before 1.5 I could never wear sith gear on my knight. For good reason they are still keeping most of the faction gear (non cartel) class locked, however being able to dress my JK in sith assassin armor from the Cartel makes sense considering I am rping him as an imperial defector and I welcome the change.
For leveling if you plan on doing the legacy alt thing (creating cross faction characters and putting them in the same familu, having a second xp bar that applies to all of your characters and unlocks items as you and your alts or 50 keep on gathering xp) there is now an option upcoming for specific cross faction armor, allows you to rp as a Sith Exiled and forced to become a Jedi Knight or etc, a new warzone, a new companion HK-47, unlocks that increase leveling, unlocking speeders at lvl 10, basically a planotra of options for the leveling game, will make getting to story sections easier. There have been a few new operations added to endgame but the endgame of TOR is nearly as added too since launch as the leveling game.
There is also a group finder.
Notices Sith Inquisitor-esque armor is avaliable for my Sith Jedi Knight that I've RPed as an Imperial Defector....
Drools.....
Words cannot express how much this armor avaliability will enhance my Characters RP within my guild. Now I can finally look like that sith defector that Ive always wanted my character to look like! That and I can now make my trooper have Jedi gear from her Jedi father, only gripe is that this should have been what Inheritance gear was, atleast this system finally does it right. Enough said.
Gizka! Now that is the KOTOR nostalga my Sith Warrior needs while ripping through his enimies with HK!. Wouldnt mind seeing Zallbar as an older respectable fellow and companion, considering that bioware would only have to focus on Shyriiwook but i digress. ;-p
