  1. Alright, this is what I haven't understood since launch. A Jedi that wields a double-bladed lightsaber is usually seen as an acrobatic fighter in combat (ex. Darth Maul, Exar Kun, Zez-Kai-El, etc). An acrobatic fighter with mastery of the art of the double-bladed lightsaber. So why does it feel like an afterthought? Why is it that the Jedi Shadow/Sith Assassin class main attacks consist of mainly short range attacks, as opposed to melee ones? Obviously we have Shadow Strike/Assassination, Spinning Strike, Clairvoyant Strike(really?) and Strike and Double-strike. However, I think it's safe to say that in combination with the attacks' less-than-stellar animation, and the fact that there's so few of them, that the attacks don't NEARLY cut it for a Jedi that's supposed to be able to wield the saberstaff. The double-bladed lightsaber is supposed to be a difficult weapon to master. "In combat, your mind tries to keep track of each blade separately, effectively doubling the number of possibilities. But the two blades are connected: by knowing the location of one, you are automatically aware of the location of the other. In actual practice, the double-bladed lightsaber is more limited than the traditional lightsaber. It can do more damage, but it is less precise. It requires longer, sweeping movements that don't transition well into a quick stab or thrust. Because the weapon is difficult to master, however, few among the Jedi – or even the Sith – understand it. They don't know how to attack or defend effectively against it. That gives those of us who use it an advantage over most of our opponents" -Words of Blademaster Kas'im. Truthfully, I think the lightsaber combat in SWTOR as a WHOLE is lacking, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. What I really don't understand is why something as publicly attracted and revered as the lightsaber, is not being used to it's full potential. And the fact that they the ONLY class the game gave a double-bladed lightsaber is a STEALTH FIGHTER, is seriously beyond me. As much as I love this game, (Loved it enough to have played since beta testing), I find that a huge weakness in the game is the lightsaber combat. Maybe even the combat as a whole, but again, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Thanks for listening, and rant over!
  2. LOL the minute I saw this crystal I thought the same thing. They need a real green.
  3. OH MY GOD This is comical. 5 days. 5. FREAKING. DAYS. I made damn sure that I understood EVERYTHING about the new patch, including the early access. If you lack the ability to read, or simply weren't interested in it at the time, and NOW ARE BECAUSE ITS HAPPENING (Haha, funny right?), then you get what you get. I've been playing this game since beta testing, and throughout enduring the whining and b*tching about how this game isn't perfect, I GAVE THEM THE MIDDLE FINGER AND STUCK WITH IT. Why? Because I think this game has potential, I enjoy it, AND I LOVE STAR WARS. I don't FREAKING NITPICK EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING THAT IS INSIDE THE GAME BECAUSE I THINK I'M SOME FREAKING PRO-GAMER. You don't wanna commit to the game? Don't complain when something awesome happens and you can't be part of it. (I understand that this doesn't apply to everybody, but you all know who I am talking to.) Rant over.
  4. I think the saying "So long suckers" would go appropriately here.
  5. I was hoping more ADVANCED classes. There is so much you could do with Jedi alone. Asajj Ventress's linksabers for example, that would be an amazing advanced class weapon. Or a Jedi Knight that is able to use a double bladed lightsaber. Even different lightsaber combat STYLES would go a long way. Seeing everybody do the same thing gets extremely tiring, I want to see something new. I know there are different stances, why doesn't BW arrange the animations with the different stances? I mean, the Ataru lightsaber form is a more acrobatic approach to saber combat, as Soresu is a more balanced and controlled style, why not utilize things like that!? Make the lightsaber combat INTERESTING! That's part of what makes the Star Wars universe so amazing. Just some food for thought
  6. What the game NEEDS at the moment is improvement to the elder levels. I'm not saying the leveling experience is perfect, but it's pretty decent. Although I agree there needs to be more variety in the leveling experience, as of right now there is virtually NO reason to keep on playing after level 50(Until the expansion of course). I have several 50s, and although I myself find joy in getting the latest gear and PvPing until nightfall, most gamers will not share this joy thanks to our short attention spans.
  7. Not to be annoying, but I've been trying to move my Mara to the Harbinger with the rest of my 50s for a while now. I originally made the Marauder on the Fatman, because Darth Sion(What eventually moved to the Harbinger) was a dead server. Would really appreciate some feedback! Thanks.
  8. They are both not without flaw. The Sith of course use hatred and anger and all of those emotions, but at least they use EMOTIONS. However the Jedi are the opposite, they have NO emotion. Only peace. Like old monks. But here's the thing, when Luke Skywalker came into the picture, he brought balance to the Force. He was a Jedi, but he also got married and had children. There is a balance between the Dark Side and the Light Side. Remember the Force is just that: the Force. It's not God, it's not a righteous king, it's not any of those things. It's the Force.
  9. LOL you make some great points there.
  10. You guys don't really think the Emperor's dead do you? I mean, I like the whole idea that MY character was strong enough to be able to defeat him, but even Revan and The Exile couldn't take him down, so, I'm a bit skeptical. I heard a rumor about some sort of e-mail you get at the end of the Warrior storyline saying he's alive, but other than that, nothing. Any thoughts?
  11. I don't see why this wont happen. I mean, does anyone remember Juhani in KOTOR 1?
