They hosed up hard by not having you fly the Eternal Fleet into a star and use one of the random doomsday weapons floating around to blow up Iokath. They have a great plot line sitting in their laps about how decades of war have stripped the galaxy of resources and thrown trillions into abject poverty, but they decide to make Super Droid World the answer to that and that was as lazy as pivoting from Valkorion's bored civilization builder aesthetic at the beginning of FE.

Medullah posted:I was just upset because I expected so much more out of Rian Johnson. I'm a huge fan of his other movies. TBH I didn't even catch Superleia when it happened. My eyes just sorta censored that whole thing to the point where I thought they must have done a Force Unleashed thing off screen where a droid or something picked her up and superscienced her back to life. It would have been cool if we'd gotten Force wielding Leia though. Just have her brush off some Stormtroopers like Yoda or something to establish that yes, this is not a one off thing, the General has been getting Force-swole in her old age. Eltoasto posted:I thought it was enjoyable, but it had it's flaws and certainly isn't my favorite SW film. And even if I DID hate it, I sure wouldn't admit that since the most vocal haters of it are some of the worst people on the internet. This, basically. I'm pretty neutral on the whole thing, but even if I did hate it, I'd white knight it just to spite the rest of the internet. edit: Medullah posted:Let's not forget about the space jihad of flying a space ship into other ships, which if it was an actual viable way of attacking, why wouldn't they develop unmanned ship-missiles controlled by droids to attack all the huge ships? Honestly, who is going to waste a hyperdrive to create a sup---- Ok, I get it. Why has no one come up with hyperdrive superweapons yet? But also, it seems like the effort spent to do lightspeed 9/11 on your enemies just doesn't square with the end result. Warmachine fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Dec 10, 2018 |

Ainsley McTree posted:But if the ships are constantly accelerating, then inevitably the g-force would crush the crew into paste; unless, of course, a space wizard casts a spell to keep them safe, but since this is never explicitly addressed, we cannot assume it to be true I mean, if acceleration remains within a certain band of human tolerance, wouldn't this not matter until you started approaching velocities of a significant percentage of c? I'm an economist not a physicist, but as I recall these effects are entirely related to acceleration, and if you're accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 you should feel no difference from earth save "down" being toward the thrust vector. Not that any of that matters because Star Wars ships have some kind of artificial gravity wizardry that seems to render any kind of physics of space flight null for the people riding them. We've already given this far more thought than any writer of Star Wars ever has.

M_Sinistrari posted:Would it really be so horrible if the game lost a good amount of the 'Ewww, how dare those disgusting f2p poors just suggest the restrictions they have get reevaluated. If they were a True Fan of the game they'd've been subbing all along since beta. If they had to unsub because money got tight because their kid got sick, well, they should've thought about that before having a kid.' and 'Reeeeeee! How dare Bioware put items from retired lockboxes up on the Cartel Market for just anyone to go buy. Now I can't wave my e-peen around to look down on those filthy causals who clearly aren't devoted to the game like I am with having gone through so many lockboxes to get the item early.' types? The line about LOTRO I think emphasizes what a good F2P model should strive for: to keep as many people running the treadmill as possible. MMOs don't feel like MMOs when they are hemorrhaging players and you can't find anyone to group with. To that end, the F2P model needs to be capable of keeping free players on the hook and doing whatever version of grind the MMO in question has. It needent necessarily be painful, but it should leave them wanting more such that paying for a subscription looks like a better use of their time. The Filthy Poors™ can continue to poop-sock for their prizes, but if your time in game is worth $15/hour, it probably makes more sense to subscribe and take the shortcut. But bottom line: no one will subscribe to a game that looks dead, so your F2P model should focus on making your game look not-dead.

Chickenwalker posted:Also like 16 new Huttball maps + some kind of interguild league play and a Huttball superbowl 4 times a year. Unironically I'd subscribe forever if Huttball league was a thing. All the other PVP modes are well-tread MMO standbys. Huttball was the one unique thing SWTOR had on the game type front (tanks actually tanking for their team was their mechanical contribution), and it's loving fun. Dunno about Queshball though. Enjoyable, but I don't know if I feel the same love for it that I felt for classic ball. The vertical format feels a lot more constraining.

Sombrerotron posted:That's well and all, but try selling that to the corporate execs who've decided the game should be out just before Christmas. Yeah, it was never the storyline aspects that killed SWTOR. It was the MMO side, which was a WoW clone circa 2007, which is very bad for a game from 2012.

Airspace posted:Having only done part of ET (for some reason I enjoy Fallen Empire and will happily go through it repeatedly, ET can't keep my enthusiasm), does it actually fall apart on screen or does the game just ignores that you run an empire and a poweful battlefleet for the sake of the plot? A little of column A, a little of column B. I never really felt like I was king poo poo of the most advanced and powerful military force the galaxy has ever known. The folly of a two-front war aside, nothing after KOTET really sells you on the idea that you've got the whole Eternal Fleet and all of the resources thereof at your command. Iokath doesn't really do anything to contradict this at all, given that most of it is about siding with one faction to deny superweapons to either of them. In the next plot line, your fleet gets taken away, which was essentially the only reason you could actually go around dunking on the Republic or Empire. The Nathema Conspiracy essentially neuters you back to being a famous name with a few holdings but no real power. Thus, as the Resource Wars (I don't know if this is the canon name for what is about to go down, but it's my headcanon name) begin, you're forced to join forces with either of the two superpowers. So, in short, the game does take your power away in the narrative, but ultimately you never feel like you had that power to begin with, so it is a wash.

Talos was perfectly fine. I didn't really feel anything for any of the ler companions. Skadge is bad. The Hoth monster and the Inquisitor's apprentice are dumb. The Agent has a pretty inoffensive roster (yes, I even find Kaliyo to be fine; the Agent knows how to play her like a fiddle). Rusk is boring, Doc is irritating, but if you want an all-star companion cast, I'd say the Trooper is your class. There was never a moment with the Trooper companions where I thought, "Why are you here?" or "I want to vent you into space." Malavai Quinn.

Sombrerotron posted:HK-51 remains my favourite general-purpose companion, though, and will likely remain so unless and until we can get an Ortolan buddy. I thought they took away his special powers, or do you just like his not-HK-47/50 aesthetic? Because really, the only thing unique about companions anymore are their aesthetics. (Which is how it should have been from the beginning! Aesthetics and story interaction. Quinn should have died and been replaced by a generic companion!)
