How the hell does this game’s launcher still use 100% of resources when it first starts patching?

And if it’s using 100% why does it still take so long?

'Someone's personal assassin' being the loving Emperor's Wrath who actually outranks the Dark Council as the Wrath only answers to the Emperor. You're basically Vader.

The Wrath isn't under the Council's authority but can't command them either. The Emperor's special pals are outside the power structure.

As someone who mained a Kinetic Shadow for the majority of my NiM raiding days the Cascading Debris change was awesome...unfortunately 50% of Kinetic is Double Strike spam and another 40% is Slow Time/Force Breach hand waving.

While we're bitching about animations I'd like a word with the dev who thought it would be neat to have my Mara moan suggestively every time I Furious Strike.

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?

Why don't we develop unmanned planes to smash into enemy bases at supersonic speeds?

Because it's loving expensive.

So in actual SWTOR news, a major content drop hits tomorrow. A planet with a level 70 storyline, daily area, world bosses, datacrons, etc. It's not an expansion so you SHOULD be able to play it as long as you have a level 70 character.

The story is a return to Sith vs Jedi, now that the Knights of the XX stories are completed and you defeated your evil spaceship. Most people think this is setting up a major expansion next year.

New patch also introduces two new tier of raid gear which is going to be retarded to get so don't even bother unless you're an endgame raider or want to do PvP at all. It's really bad, like, hope you like the new planet because it means you'll be doing it over and over and over again.

It also introduces Guild experience and the ability to buy perks for the guild, which I'll take a look at and see if our dead gay guild can actually use any of.

Speaking of rusty nails and genitalia...

Ships in Star Wars have never followed the rules of physics in space.

In the very first movie nearly every move the ships make is impossible with only rear propulsion. Throughout the movies ships decelerate or even stop without reverse thrust.

So all the returning companions are straight, then.

No, he's saying the opposite. Old companions with new romance arcs/conversations added since Makeb are either. I don't know if there's enough in the conversations to say if they're bi, they're probably just gay or straight depending on the PC's gender.

For the last update it was Khem, Nadia and Jaesa. Not sure if it's only LS and DS remains straight only or what though. Someone will answer that shortly, I'm sure.



My only character through KOTFE stuff is single now because of the lovely misleading dialogue prompt.

You're always the main character in WoW. You're the cause of every major thing that happens. Bolvar dies in the second zone and showed back up like 2 years later.


It's not a "don't make the player the main character" thing, it's about having a supporting cast of major players who are more than just sidekicks. You don't want to make the player the king in a continuing narrative, but having the king that's put in place be a close ally or friend still makes it an accomplishment without tying an anchor around your neck.

Your second rule is not followed by any succesful MMO that has ever existed.

Including this one in its original class stories. It also routinely doesn't follow the 3rd one about avoiding being too powerful.

nope

any bounty hunter can get knight of alderaan or homewrecker from that quest, but only women can marry the baron. apparently there were plans for male characters to be able to marry his rival, but that didn't make it out of beta for whatever reason

Yeah, there's already a Baron you make marry you. It's launch content, so no gay allowed.

Aphrodite

That's because in the JK storyline there's a part where you're captured and brainwashed into working for the Emperor. You break free of his control after a time jump and go back to Jedi business while NPCs occasionally get mad at you for stuff you didn't see happen in the time skip. It's explicitly said to be control though, so the game can easily say it wasn't your fault.

There have always been rumors of more elaborate stories similar to the Agent's that never had time, and that's a persistent one.

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.

Yeah basically every WoW clone had this issue.

MMO development takes so long Blizzard has made sweeping quality of life improvements by the time they come out and people don't want to go back to the old way.

Agent has the best story, Knight has the most KOTOR3 story. Warrior is like if KOTOR3 was played from the Imperial side. Inquisitor is solid too.

Depends what you mean by storyline. The class stories are all generally pretty separate iirc, with only a scant amount of them referencing each other (knight and warrior of the only one I can think of off the top of my head). I’m not even sure if they all take place at the same time.

They all take place within the same roughly 10 year period, but some storylines run a longer span of that than others.
