StephenReid Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hello everyone! James Ohlen, Game Director for Star Wars: The Old Republic, is on the hunt for direct feedback once again. This week, he's asking for feedback on a general topic that I think you'll all have an opinion on! James takes feedback directly via his Twitter account, but if you're not on Twitter, we're going to reproduce his question here and would love to get your feedback here too - as well as your votes on a poll. As always, we ask you to limit your feedback to the question at hand and keep your feedback constructive as well as on-topic! Here is James' question for this week: Which Star Wars fantasy excites you the most? Full 3D space battles, vehicle combat (AT-ATs), pod/speeder racing or capital ship battles? You can vote in the attached poll. Obviously each of these fantasies are big, enormous ideas, so we're sure you'll have plenty of feedback to give! You can follow James on Twitter @JamesOhlen; you can follow our main account @SWTOR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Karsk Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Pod racing yes plis. Your great hope with this game is fast and awesome minigames. Games one can bet on. Games you see in the cantina in episode II. Plis BioWare dont do space combat. Will not work. It will be non responsive and to slow as your space combat now shows. And as long as space combat can not be first person view from the cockpit like swg there is no point. Just sitting in the chair on the trooper ship show one cannot even see out the window and the view is bad. If you make space combat you can use capitol ships with turrets players can control and players can board ships and fight guards and ship boss to take em over to gain control over turrets and landing area. Must be a huge space map with base ship and lots of ships between one can take over and control. In this there should also be fighter combat.Also a astroid field above a planet for pure fighter space combat could really work. Dynamic fast and intense. But to be very honest i dont think you guys can pull it off ... Edited April 4, 2012 by Lord_Karsk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajLagSpike Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 what do you mean "Capital ship battles"? just asking because you already have the 3d ship combat one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TZHX Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Out of those options, I think the Space Battles are more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 The X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter series of games were some of the most popular Star Wars games ever made - and with good reason! People still play them today, even though they are a decade old. Adding real 3D combat to SWTOR would be a huge boost for the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajLagSpike Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well just incase, Space Battles!!! But big ones like me vs. the death star! OOoooorrrr me and 3 friends vs. the deathstar?????!! 0.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPLaro Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I prefer space battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badnamed Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm down for any of those... But since I can only vote one, I voted full 3D space battles. But I also agree with Merex, a dungeon queue system would be far more interesting at this point... I haven't yet PVE'd that much coz I despise spamming LFG in chat...

LordExozone Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 3D PvP space battles with (guild owned) capital ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_goon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Speeder racing sounds really fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callmeswarly Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 what do you mean "Capital ship battles"? just asking because you already have the 3d ship combat one. 3D ship battles is basically space combat. Capital ship battles would be more like Star Destroyer vs Star Destroyer. Kind of like the different between two warplanes dog fighting and the game Battleship.

ZeroMark Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I would have thought capital ship battles would come after full 3D combat. Put in some guild capital ships. Then add full 3D space combat. Then add Guild ship vs guild ship in 3D space combat. The other ideas are nice, but you guys need proper space combat. Railed stuff, as fun as it actually is, need to be replaced.

Icysunx Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Well, the fact remains that the development time on these items will probably take at least a year and by then a DX9 game is not going to come off so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrelle Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Server Merges. Oops, not one of the selections. The post with the largest thread count on the forums yet again did not make the cut. Server merges lost to podracing.... Nuthin but love for us, nuthin but love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rzacron Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 They're all ok, "Swoop" Racing would be awesome and lend some cred back to Bioware and bring back the KotOR feel, But Its all fly-poo compared to the real issues at hand. Server Transfers, ugly Armor and PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Silhouette Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I vote 3D space battles. But as someone already stated that it would really need to have a cockpit view. It's like in racing games how I've never understood why people play in 3rd person view. You can't actually drive like that. Also I have yet to meet a pilot who is outside of the plane they fly.

Coldin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'd go with pod-racing. So much combat in the game already. Something a bit more light-hearted, and different would be nice to get away from the typical stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain-R Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You guys planning on the next big update? anyway It's really hard but I voted for Captital Ships battle that battle at the end of Episode 6 is very cool. If you are talking about an additon to the game I would like too see pod racing as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMark Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh oh also. I know it's not one of the options, but decent looking gear for the Jedi Consular. If I see another stupid bloody hat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuckaLukaum Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Of those choices, 3d space battles for sure. It doesn't even have to be on the same level of simulation as SWG. Mechanics similar to Battlefront II would be an improvement, and allow PvP as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mithriltabby Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 It could be very Star Wars to have a flashpoint where some heroes board a capital ship and run around wreaking havoc inside and having the result matter for the ship combatants outside, but it’s a lot harder to get the timing for that right. Hmmm... the pilots would battle waves of fighters until the melee heroes can drop the shields, then the heroes go after the power supplies to the turbolasers...
