Bout the items don't worry, I would be more concerned to know for how much they'll come in the CM now.

That being said a few hints to show where to find some nice stuff in a now extinct galaxy
So nice that the game is still around, right?

Again, I'm quite content with what I've seen. Not a substitute for the stuff I truly want but it looks to be better than what I had anticipated. Also...

Assuming you have no interest in Strongholds, why are you concerned about the pricing for the decorations on the CM?

Ah, Youngling, your age given away, you have.

To be fair, SWG had pretty decent graphics for its era, it's just REALLY old now. They did a good job creating a fairly immersive world with the engine they had, and it was more than enough to engage your imagination.

No it wasn't just you. I'd have to say if THAT was the level of graphic detail they put into SWG it wasn't the CU or NGE additions that killed the game it was piss poor graphics to even compare SW:TOR to that piece of crap and claim SWG is a better game is blasphemy in my book!!!

I'm 33 years old that game graphics wise looks like something I'd have been playing back when I was 16.

That video was ...special. Nice use of the SWG emotes and pretty good VA, but I really can't stand the music. Well, it's sort of music... I don't really see how it was relevant though.
Relevant part highlighted and well wanted you guys to have fun

You might not realize it, but that was a low blow.

No interest in a poor and cumbersome system and well I tend to think to others best interest too.

I just don't understand why people insist on the notion that this game should be akin to SWG, a game that ultimately failed and went through numerous(?) iterations before its downfall. Just accept that TOR... Is TOR.

In other words, you don't like hooks? Maybe SWG was "better" in that regard?

Ok. I can accept that... You have two choices now: Either disregard Strongholds entirely, since it will NEVER live up to your expectations or try to do the best you can with a system that looks both intuitive and accessible.

Just my two cents.

Fair enough and totally agree with SWG being far from perfect.

Some of us just wish the producers would stop shooting themselves in the foot and actually deliver content up to the competitors or at least as good as what was done over 10 years ago in others games.
