  1. You cannot compare a fictional weapons, with a real world device. Given that Is is Fiction a lightsabers components, and building material are likely to be unlike anything we currently possess. Obviously It cannot be entirely weightless, but taking into account that The Force would amplify the users strength, and stamina the weight issue Is quickly corrected. The people who would use Lightsabers will have spent their entire lives using It. The idea that It would feel awkward due to weight, or which way the hilt was hanging Isn't valid, as It Is likely the user has chosen these things themselves, and are accustomed to that preference. I don't understand where all this Is coming from. You've clearly watched the movies, and every single person (except Han) never have any problems using their lightsaber for defense, or attack even with these "awkward" and "impractical" ways to carry them. While It may seem impractical, and seems awkward to you, that certainly doesn't mean whoever Is using It feels the same way.
  2. It has been that way since 1977. Why on Earth would they change it now?
  3. I don't think having Qui-Gon train Anakin instead of Obi-Wan would have been ideal, nor do i think It would have stopped Anakin from falling to the Dark side at some point. I believe It's implied in Episode 1 that Qui-Gon is very rebellious by nature, having defied the council at least once in the past. I do not believe having such a character mentor him would have saved Anakin from the Dark Side. Qui-Gon believed almost from the moment he met Anakin that he might be The Chosen One. I think he would have catered way too much to his rebellious nature, and nurturing his advanced abilities and arrogance. He probably wouldn't have been "holding him back" as Anakin thought Obi-Wan did. But I think that Obi wasn't as much "holding him back", as keeping Anakin grounded. If Anakin embraced his rebellious nature, powers, and arrogance he would just have fallen to the Dark side sooner, and more easily. Obi-Wan did his best to keep Anakin humble as every Jedi should be. In Episode 3 Anakin says that he wants more power, but admits he knows It's wrong. While Obi-Wan might have held Anakin back, either because he feared his powers, or someting along those lines, he tried all he could to turn Anakin into a Jedi, and for the most part he succeded. I think Qui-Gon would gone to great lengths to ensure Anakin grew to be the most powerful Force user ever. Even If that meant defying the Council. Part of me believes that no matter what path Anakin chose he would have fallen. Like It was part of his destiny.
  4. What's the AH? I'd quite like this blaster for myself.
  5. At the moment I'm using a Champion PvP blaster, and the DTB-27. But I've started looking for a pair of those D-200 blasters. When I'm done tweaking my gear I'll be grinding for a pair of Cassus Fett's Blasters. I don't suppose anyone has a picture of one of those? I haven't been able to find one yet.
  6. Jango Fett. He has the same facial expression whether he's being questioned by a Jedi, or has a lightsaber to his throat. And because they made an army of him for a reason.
  7. Just like you completely missed my point. If the only MMO the OP has invested serious time, and effort into Is WoW It's going to affect his opinion regarding any new MMO. The OP's complaining about TOR's gameplay, and how It doesn't feel as right to him compared to his characters in WoW. If he has 7 years worth of play time in WoW versus the what, 2 months time everyone has in TOR he can't expect everything to be exactly the way WoW is. He either needs to go back to WoW, or realize that no MMO is exactly alike, and 7 years of exclusive gameplay gives you habits, and expectations that's hard to meet. Checkmate indeed.
  8. SWTOR doesn't have an investment, It Is an investment. And just like WoW Bioware will continue to fine tune It over the next several years, I'll elaborate on that now. Basically my ***. In the first month I played as a Death Knight they revised the talents twice. Removed entire abilities, and moved others around, constantly nerfing, or balancing. For the 2 years that followed Death Knights were changed greatly. Sure Basically It's the same. But Blizzard continues to fine tune everything, just like Bioware will. WoW was never anywhere as perfect as you make it out to be, not at launch, and certainly not later. With Cataclysm they refined the entire Talent system, and for Pandaria they're going to do it again, with even more extreme measures. What you're looking for Is WoW. Something that has 7 years worth of experience, and fine tuning. TOR Is a different game, and you have to accept that some things just can't be exactly like you feel they should be. You can either go back to WoW, or invest time in TOR, and follow the evolution process that WoW went through as well, and reap the benefits later. By the sound of It, the game TOR is right now just isn't for you since you've become so attached to the way WoW plays out. TOR needs, and deserves time grow, and evolve. Just like WoW, and every other MMO before them did.
  9. Not sure If you're trolling or not, but here goes. That's your first problem right there. When you've played Any game for that long, and then suddenly try another one you have 7 years worth of habits to deal with. TOR Is a different game, Of course things will not be accustomed to you. You need to invest time into It before It starts to feel like WoW does to you now. WoW has 7 years worth of polish, TOR deserves at least that much to see If Bioware gets It right. WoW perfected noting. They refined what was already established. And It kept doing that for 7 years. In time TOR will polish, refine, tweak, and balance everything as well. I agree. But new MMO's are getting shot down way to fast. Before TOR even launched some WoW players were completely beating on it, claiming It would never succeed. People need patience If they ever want another game to match WoW's standards. I have little doubt that by the end of this year The Old Republic will be a great MMO.
  10. Getting right up in Vader's face to make a point Is trying to be nice? Why would I do that when the incident I'm referring to Is In the movies? I never mentioned anything In my post about the EU, everything I said happens In the films. I never even brought his actual combat skills into my argument. Again, why should I refer to C canon, when the point I was making Is G Canon?
  11. He simply appeals to some people In ways unique to each person. There's plenty of people who hate him too, and people who don't care about him, but love another character. The thing about him that appeals to me Is the sense of mystery that used to surround him, pre Episode 2. He looked cool, acted cool, and just came off as a pretty bad *** guy. If you pay attention to his conversations with Vader he doesn't seem afraid of him, something everyone else usually seems to be. Vader also doesn't patronize him, or anything like that, contrary to what he did with Lando. Even when Boba got up In Vader's face firmly stating how valuable Solo was to him, Vader just made sure Boba would get paid either way, instead of saying "sucks for you If he dies then.", or just choked him. And since I'm a Fett fan I'd rather remember Boba Fett as the guy Darth Vader didn't want to piss off, than the guy dying the most unlikely death ever.
  12. First off I gotta address the "balance" issue, again. Balance In terms of Star Wars does not, nor has it ever meant equal numbers of Sith, and Jedi. Balance means no Sith, only Jedi. Think of it like this, the Jedi are like the white blood cells in your body. You don't notice, or feel them during your daily life. They just go around, being neutral, doing nothing you'll ever notice. The Sith on the other hand are like a virus, or a parasite. They infect your body with nothing but evil, and bad intents at heart. They desire nothing good for you. The Jedi, and white blood cells restore balance to your body by destroying the virus. Gruug, Luke never brought balance to the Force this way. He did bring his father back to the light, but It was always Anakin's destiny to bring balance by destroying the Sith. He did that when he tossed the Emperor down the shaft, and In that process also killed Darth Vader. Now, to the issue at hand. I don't think having Qui-Gon train Anakin instead of Obi-Wan would have been ideal, nor do i think It would have stopped Anakin from falling to the Dark side at some point. I believe It's implied in Episode 1 that Qui-Gon is very rebellious by nature, having defied the council at least once in the past. I do not believe having such a character mentor him would have saved Anakin from the Dark Side. Qui-Gon believed almost from the moment he met Anakin that he might be The Chosen One. I think he would have catered way too much to his rebellious nature, and nurturing his advanced abilities and arrogance. He probably wouldn't have been "holding him back" as Anakin thought Obi-Wan did. But I think that Obi wasn't as much "holding him back", as keeping Anakin grounded. If Anakin embraced his rebellious nature, powers, and arrogance he would just have fallen to the Dark side sooner, and more easily. Obi-Wan did his best to keep Anakin humble as every Jedi should be. In Episode 3 Anakin says that he wants more power, but admits he knows It's wrong. While Obi-Wan might have held Anakin back, either because he feared his powers, or someting along those lines, he tried all he could to turn Anakin into a Jedi, and for the most part he succeded.

  13. Ah, the good ol' math nerds. Using their large brains, and unclaimed virginities for the public's amusement.
  14. For the love of God someone tell me where the Greaves drop from. My grinding is nearing 3 digit numbers, and I haven't left the fleet In over a week, and I'm nearing Millionaire status thanks to the loot money. I need those friggin' pants.
