Tatile Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So I decided to ask the question in this post: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5600158&posted=1#post5600158 I expect to get flamed. But...eh...like that's different from any other time we've asked the question right? Report and move on - we already had the issues of "God, how dare you ask questions!" in Mr. Hood's developer FAQ.

Palar Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Only took them a day to clarify "Chapter" 4 and Class Stories... wow, they can work fast when they want to. I'd moan about the replay-value for alts, but Jeff Hickman says we'll love it. Knowing him, that probably means it'll have tacky Christmas lights hanging off it.

I don't know if it's because I'm still half-awake and my brain's in neutral, but the idea of Michael Bay-level tacky stereotypes just gave me a frightening image. ... Cartel Market-only SGR companions will be Gungans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, this question was answered a couple of times already, so it's not like they actually had to find him for the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatile Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) ... Cartel Market-only SGR companions will be Gungans. No... no... q.q Listening to the podcast now, though. Edit: Listening to the cast now, I hate how the host talks over everyone, particularly the female panelist (didn't catch their names). This is also kind of hard to listen to as they seem to tripping over their words half the time :/ **** me, LucasArts as anti-gay. *facepalm* They think we're asking for this over bug fixes. Did they even read Natashina's letter? Also: "I'm not telling you to shut and be patient, but shut up and be patient". Bisexual Twi'lek - an alien so that she's "not really female". **** you. **** you. Edited December 18, 2012 by Tatile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joushigun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I just let Ms Berryman know that, if the SGRA's aren't in the expansion, that's it. I'm out. Don't tell me that you're going to include these and then don't. Sorry, I'll just stick to STO where I can at least have an all female crew if I want. I'm just so tired of not having these options. Oh, and having listened to the podcast, let me say something as a writer- I could probably write five SGRA's in a month's time without breaking a sweat, so I don't buy the whole thing about it taking that long to do.

Palar Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 "They haven't said anything about a lot of things, I'm not sure what else you want" - the guy who didn't mention reading the letter. Good prep-work, my friend. Your approach really added a lot to the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabiyun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I do want to thank the guys and gal from TORWars for doing the podcast. But to me it reaffirms that it's probable SGRs are either on the backburner or no longer on the schedule. That's a realistic look at things. That's really very unfortunate. From BW Austin I want to hear where on the schedule things are, or if they're no longer on it. I think we have every right to know, this is a promise made to this community, and we need to know.

Tatile Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I couldn't finish the pod cast after the started talking about Cathar. With exception to the speculation on the creative process at Bioware: Austin, I did not feel that their discussion was relevant, informed or even insightful. Thank you linking the TorWars podcast, now I realise why I hate radio shows. Ugh. I need to wash out my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you linking the TorWars podcast, now I realise why I hate radio shows. Ugh. I need to wash out my ears. It's a good reality check though, the majority of people are likely to share their views. And that might tell us of what goes on at BW Austin. And I wouldn't put it past them to bring in a single SGR Female Very Alien companion to say they're inclusive.

Joushigun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 You know something.... I just want an answer. If SGRA's aren't coming in the expansion, then fine. I don't have a lot of money, and I want to know if I am going to spend $25 more on this game or not because, if SGRA's aren't coming in the next expansion, then really am leaving. Sorry, but even F2P isn't enough to keep me in game going forward and I don't plan on buying an expansion any more than I did with WoW. So...I'm waiting for an answer on this, and I'll harass them if I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffystuffs Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 So...I'm waiting for an answer on this, and I'll harass them if I have to. I'm sure we'll have an answer in 4 months when they don't release SGRAs with the expansion. I'm feeling 'meh' about this expansion (no class story continuation ) among other things.

Joushigun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well, so far, I've written to Barryman and Woods. I'll keep writing until I get an answer because, like it or not, I don't have a lot of money and I could budget in the $25 for my next sub and the expansion, but only if SGRA's are in there. If not, then I really would rather spend my money somewhere more LGBT inclusive and then I get to write an article blasting BioWare/EA for not being inclusive.

JCisneros Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) ...and with good reason, the speeder looks like a futuristic lawnmower with "Life Day" (Christmas) lights. I know a fair number of Full Sail graduates who would be embarassed to put such a crappy piece of animation into the game, much less monetize it. I swear, you could put "Toro" on the grill and no one would be surprised. Allison, I love you, but it appears you and your bosses seem to think we are cattle with wallets. It's all good when a "secret" leads to hot new content, but when the "secret" makes a wet, disgusting sound when it hits the sidewalk, that qualifies as both a PR and developmental failure. Not spending a dime until we get some specifics. ~JC Many people asking about SGRA's in that thread. I will add my voice shortly, but I had to scream about Hickman and the Life Day speeder. Utterly amateurish crap. ~J Edited December 18, 2012 by JCisneros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joushigun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 They couldn't even edit the original title into your post before merging your thread with "Did I hear this right?", Joush. ... That's just plain lazy, on top of rude. And here I had just thought that they had deleted it, which wouldn't have surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palar Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Heh I knew that post of mine wouldn't fly. Then an e-mail from BW showed up in my inbox... just a plug for the expansion - somehow, I remain without infraction. I'm that fine balance of disgruntled and reasonable, I guess.

Joushigun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Well, honestly, the really rude part is that they haven't answered us. They really could. I really would like to play something that is LGBT inclusive or excludes all romance options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
