LordNythrax Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Just hit the first chapter of KOTET for the first time. Holy crap is this lame. Yeah let me put aside my agile powerful Sith Lord in order to slowly trudge along in an awkward lumbering walker getting pew-pew'd by a million tiny crappy mobs, half of which I have to slowly walk up to and step on because they have shields. Oh but it's so iconic. Yeah when I was a kid I totally dreamed about piloting one of those awkward chicken-walkers from Return of the Jedi. You know, the ones that got humiliated and repeatedly destroyed by teddy bears. Way to drag the entire scene to a screeching halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanNV Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I actually thought it was ok the first time. Something different. But it got really old, really fast after that.

Ralei Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Heh, I have to agree. I feel guilty about not liking it for some reason. It's one big reason I haven't replayed Kotet. The mouse droid was ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalLowlife Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I flat out despise that mouse droid mission, it's the reason I have so many characters who've I've stopped playing at THAT point. it's almost as bad as that stupid "save the gravestone by destroying these reactors that can only be reached if you have an aoe attack" mission.

MeNaCe-NZ Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Bad news OP - it gets worse, there is another chapter with even worse walker piloting. I HATE walker piloting in this game. It's horrible and the ability lag made it even more awful. If it were some sort of side addition then cool, whatever, each to their own but when it becomes a necessary feature on getting past Vet/Master chapters - erk HATE it. Maybe if the ability lag weren't so horrible I wouldn't have as much issue and it's possible it's related to my 160 ping ( nothing I can do about that ) but I don't get this issue in clearing all the other content with my usual toons in game.

Radzkie Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) It was okay at first, but I also got bored of it after awhile. It felt slower and limited, less epic than playing on my character. It didn't annoy me though, just my eyes glazed over and I zoned out while killing things in it. If they do add walker parts in future chapters, I hope it's only once or for a very short time. I do like that they tried something new though.

Kyuuu Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I still have yet to touch the new chapters. and i honestly dont give **** about them. but BW metrics seem to tell them people want solo content in a MMO which atm is nothing more then solo player game seeing everything endgame is 3+ years old even the uprising seeing most them copy and paste from old FP and OPS...

JediAkemi Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The walkers were kind of meh... I considered piloting a walker an interesting change of pace in chapter 1 but annoying and unnecessary in chapter 8. Piloting the Zord in chapter 5, after the ridiculously long lag spike that made me think my game had crashed was out of the way, was great fun... as a novelty scene. If I could avoid said ridiculous lag, I'd love to take another stomp at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjyjf Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I hate all the vehicle sections in KotET. The main reason being is it hates my custom UI. For my UI I have the Main Hotbar disabled, because I don't like the way the buttons on the side make my UI look awful. So whenever I get in a vehicle I have to load up a Default UI and then relog because the abilities don't load up. So yeah for me I dread them because having to change my UI and relogging.

jimmorrisson Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 5.0 only has nine chapters - so the concept was to drag it out and slow it down. For Chapter 1 you have to learn the controls while making it to each semi-truck "rest areas" or nascar pitstops to recharge and reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the ones that got humiliated and repeatedly destroyed by teddy bears. Way to drag the entire scene to a screeching halt. I agree. I lost all interest in vehicle mounts when wow did it. I hated the idea of losing what my character can do all so some game company can control the speed at which you do soemthing. swtor didn't do it any better and to be honest, did it worse. The walker was a terrible bit of content I would be happy to never do again. Add that to the mouse droid as well. There was nothing interesting about that particular content as my sage at this point should be much more powerful. Just push that thing over and take out the pitiful adds.

ZeroTypeR Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Not that piloting the walker is a issue for me, but if I'm going to pilot a mech, I'm thinking something along the lines of THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3wu_rgXnK4 *Updates sound promising, so I'm subbing for a month to give them a try* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriksarcasm Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'm all for more variety in gameplay, so the first time I said "OK this is different, a little clunky but tha was a nice diversion." Mouse droid: "Meh, done this in other games, just get thru it." Iokath: "OK neat, I'm the Iron Giant this time around, still a little clunky tho... enough of this." Odessen: "Oh come on, not this $#!t again" Yea don't do that again BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipwright Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I dislike anything that does not let me play my character. Went through KOTET with a friend. If i do it...it will be holding my nose through chapter 1 so I can get the companion in 2...at which point I will exit and keep the companion as permanent. The Iokath dailies seems to be filled with such things from listening to the live stream. Since I wont go through KOTET I doubt Iokath dailies will open for me, but...if they feature this sort of stuff I don't want to do them anyway.

Deewe Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Actually the walker concept is nice. What ruins everything is it walks moves as fast as a 120 year old turtle and is not that much powerful and slow to recharge. In shot it's as slow as an AT-AT without the power but well it's the OLD Republic so it could makes sense. Just not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x_Boots_x Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I've done this stupid mission 27 times over the last 2 months leveling characters from 60 or 65 to 70, it drives me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
