  1. At this point, I'm pretty sure you don't understand what the word "Minimum" means or the concept behind it. Minimum means "This will take at least this amount of time, period, end of story." They did not say "maximum", the update also said they estimated; they were wrong. If they had said "Maximum" then they'd have over shot their deadline and you MIGHT have {wouldn't} had a point to gripe about.
  2. Because Torguta wouldn't look and feel almost exactly the same as twileks with uglier heads, yep. Totally absolutely 100% Unique. And the chances of getting a gungan or Wookie are about the same as getting a jawa or deshad as a playable character, namely ,don't bloody count on it.
  3. Has no one ever stopped to think that "Every single aspect of the Havok Squads mission is nothing BUT giant extreme circumstances that go far above what the rank and file have to deal with"? Including a major military team turning traitor, ontop of that it being one of Garzas own super elite teams that turned? From what I understand of the "Havok Squad" lore, is that Havok Squad is sent in to do the work that no other squad can get done, often covertly, and effectively. Their not a particular "Group" of special forces like the Pararescue or Delta squad, but one very specialized unit of 6 men. You notice theirs no "Havok platoon" or any "Havok training program". They just grab the very best of the very best at what they do, and ship them off to the absolutely most dangerous missions possible, and if they fail well; thats also covered in the trooper story line.
  4. As a healer spec trooper, PUG's suck because a good 65% of the time, I get pugged into a group with a, guess what, healing spec sage. Guess which ones better at the healing role? Hint, its NOT the trooper. So either I detriment my team by providing aux healing, making sure we stay alive but slow down the fights immensely, bog down the team with extremely sub par DPS, or I have to leave the dungeon, pull up my saved tree list, respect into EACH bloody point on the tree, reset all my skill bars, THEN go back into the dungeon as a DPS spec proper. Taking up a good maybe 5-15 minutes of time we could be out in the dungeon {my computer isn't super fast, likes to lag on loads.} All because some "Thinks his **** don't stink" player like you has their head so firmly up their *** in their own unwarranted self superiority. Dual specking is not a lack of skill, not knowing how to build your TREE is a lack of skill, and that happens "now". Dual speccing is just convenient for everyone involved; except elitists who don't pug anyways and therefor can go shove it.
  5. Personally, I loathe tattooine more then any other planet. You think Taris' landscape is boring? Try sand, sand, and more sand. Occasionally broken up by the odd village at the arse end of nowhere, a landcrawler somewhere, and a sarlac.
  6. Sure, MV is great in PVP, everything seems to be going top tier for PVP, the people who are mad are the PVE'rs
  7. A vanguard with 6K health in heavy armor should be able to outlast a Sage, but everyone in PVP seems to thing Commandos are OP except for commandos,
  8. Wow, I didnt even realize they were nerfing MV..which was one of the commandos best opening attacks for cleaning up trash/opponents. One well placed MV could wipe an entire group of mooks, or damn near it, now we get **** radius, ridiculous timers, AND an easily dodged attack? Joy.
  9. pst, theirs a gunboat coming up behind you!
  10. Dear god, I still play that..I've wasted so many thousands of real dollars on that game..I've made myself sad...damn you.
  11. The space segments were hands down the most fun I had in SWG, though I feel I may have been better off going back to Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, or Star Wars: Tie Pilot {Or whatever it was called} for the flight sim stuff again, it was still the most enthralling part to me, and I'd love ot see TOR's space combat evolve into that
  12. Hopefully the next big update 1.3 will include a major rehaul for the space system. What I'm hoping is an overarc space like in SWG, with "Instanced" Rail shooters in certain areas like we have now.
  13. SWG Did "not" get repetitive? I dunno what game I was playing then.
  14. Third companion for the Smuggler. Tara strong, hell yes. Second companion for the Sith inquisitor, Steve Blume doing Spike Spiegel? Also, hell yes. Though second to Tara strong IMO.
  15. I really don't see why everyone seems so intent on comparing SWG to TOR. Their two entirely different companies, and Bioware has ALWAYS been about story first. Always. I played SWG off and on, pre cu, pre NGE, and post. Starting when the game first came out, rejoining at each of the expansions. Most of the time I was bored within a week, if you couldn't get into the community you were royally screwed. Spending numerous hours looking for a shipwright, or god forbid, leveling one of your own, just to get a new ship crafted for the next tier so your next set of space missions wasn't giving you a gaping ****. The numerous, NUMEROUS bugs through the entire games lifetime. Granted I loved some aspects, namely the customization, but when it released originally SWG wasn't nearly that big as far as race/class was concerned, those were added over its lifespan. I miss the whole player housing, even if it was hard as hell for a very casual player to sustain a home or business without spending hours meticulously setting everything up, and constantly checking and fixing wear and tear on the harvesters/homes and paying "upkeep" on everything. My biggest qualm with SWG was that their was no real story. Yes their was a general overarching plot, but I never really bothered with it during my time playing. It was just meh, the real action was happening elsewhere, I was just some underwhelming shmuck trying to make a living, I felt unimportant, a replacement cog in the machine. TOR is all about story, pure and simple. Its entire job is to pull you into that story, and it does it well. They've flat out stated that the story WILL be expanded in 1.2 if anyone bothered to read it, and they plan fully on expanding the story more. Everyone seems to get their facts from mmo's after playing them YEARS after their releases. SWG on launch, buggy, small, broken beyond belief, took forever to get ANYWHERE. WoW on release, buggy, small, lacked numerous features, was extremely restrictive, took forever to level, and had an abrasive and often ******ish community {Not that this has changed} Eve online on launch, buggy, took EONS to get anywhere, had a learning curve that would make stephen hawking cry in pain. TOR: Buggy on launch, small somewhat liner planets and level designs, small amounts of customization, generally uninvolved community. Each game took TIME to get where it was, give TOR a few years and it'll have just as much content, and to be quite frank. The biggest thing I miss out of SWG was the space combat, I could live without the rest. Though with the inclusion of escape pods IN the TOR ships, theirs a possibility that our "Given" ships may get destroyed, and we may switch over to an SWG like system in the future. Only time will tell, and if you demand a game be killed before it can ever reach its potential, you'll never see what it can become. Or fail to become.
