    SelinaK is now in a complicated relationship with trying to make the world a better place.
  1. They have promised the companion characters' stories would be fully available to LGBT players several times, in 2011: "Same gender romances with companion characters in Star Wars: The Old Republic will be a post-launch feature." (Senior Online Community Manager Stephen Reid, 2011-09-13) and very recently last month after the announcement of Makeb and the disappointment surrounding that: "I realize that we promised [same-gender relationships] to you guys and that many of you believed that this with a companion character. Unfortunately, this will take a lot more work than we realized at the time and it (like some other pieces of content we talked about earlier in the year) has been delayed" (executive producer Jeff Hickman, 2013-01-02) Source links on this post: www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5811705#post5811705
  2. The best way would just to give every player a token to reset their companion stories if they wish, kind of like a player character respec but for story So they can then play through them again per conversation in their own time, so basically after each convo the companion character then immediately gets the mission/talk icon above their head again after the convo ends It would be pretty horrible to have to replay the hours of time to spent to play the whole game again when you know all the story already for the spread-out companion conversations, so I think that would be the best way
  3. When Vette romance eventually actually gets put in the game, they need to add the line "bored now" to one of the zaps, hehe " " "In my world we have people in chains and we can ride them like ponies"
  4. It's just easier to organise really I guess. But guilds should talk between each other more to arrange the occasional bigger things, yeah for sure, that's what this forum is for... But the only way we could really get it used more was if the game had an in browser link to the forums like The Secret World. It'd be brilliant if there was a "RP forums" button and could post in game like in TSW
  5. Well, Inqusitors tend to say Ve Have Vays of Making you Valk quite a lot, so any allusions are actually quite fitting no? Have you heard of Fifty Shades of Grey? Yes, no, maybe? Either way, get over it, it's pretty mainstream and tame now yet you seem as terrified of the possibility of women being "deviants" (e.g. having different tastes from you) in a similar way to the old Spanish Inquisition in the dark ages looking for witches to burn. Yet these days you are the one that is deviant, we have moved on, and left you behind with your impotent rage at people braver than you to express themselves freely and not care when you and your ilk so often loudly attack people, in the street even, just for not behaving the way you want...
  6. What I don't get is, why in a time when every company is trying to get all the money they can, that they make an expansion about the most unloved, unappealing, uninteresting race in the game... It's bizarre. You'd think they would have realised by now that when people think "star wars", it's not "the adventures of the evil space t****" that gave it appeal o_O It reminds me of how in City of Villains every new patch started becoming about saving the world in some way and so people just stopped playing it and it eventually got to the point where pretty much all anyone heard was "City of Heroes" because that was the only people left playing. It's like at EA/Bioware they are saying imperial players can't have them fight the empire, "so lets have some nastier baddies", because everyone knows that Empire players really want is to play republic characters with different names. o_O It's like they gave some "True Star Wars Fan" boy control of what to make an expansion about, it's something that has no appeal whatsoever to most people, I know when I did the Hutta missions I pressed Space a hell of a lot through the "booga booga jumba jumba" crap and just wanted the big fat t****s off from my screen! I like dark storylines, but hutts aren't dark, they're cartoonish stereotypical laughably evil. We need more Kaliyos.
  7. I actually disapprove of the Cathar too, because everyone knows it would just be furries and I don't think most people will actually be interested in playing them because they are quite ugly from what google shows. Give us catsuits instead pff But no one will be bothered by the addition of an option to have a pet cat on the ship, that would just be so adorable, I am in love with the "clambering over the ship console" idea haha, even if it wasn't fully animated and just occasionally you'd find it hanging off the edge It'd be like the fish in Mass Effect taken to the next level
  8. No, this is proper Sith attire (That other stuff's generally more a parties thing in the Empire)
  9. 6) It must make you think "Wow, those nuns, that black-and-white colour scheme, the way the pure white frames the face, it's... actually quite stylish in comparison to this, isn't it?" I think Star Wars suffers from the same problems as Star Trek, the "space" outfits tend to look like the time they were designed in more than anything else, so we get what the old 70s people thought was a cool "futuristic" look (e.g. lots of cloth of solid colours with straight lines)
  10. I am shocked that after 2 years they still have not done anything...
  11. I was about to reply to this, as it sounds horrible, but then I saw that you said they have actually sorted this now, cool. Yay for not just reading the first page. But it does worry me that you say you reported 6 times and that they did not do anything, I've had a similar experience where they seem to largely ignore tickets and just pin automatic responses on them to try make it seem like they are doing something when they are actually not. On the UK&EU RP server, The Progenitor, there is literally someone running around with the name "Dafuuq" for example. The Secret World's customer support is absolutely amazing in comparison, they actually take the time to message you in game and talk to you when they get around to your turn in the queue, and will actually hold a conversation. In SWTOR, even though tickets are only able to be made by subscribers, they STILL take days to reply, and then it's just a pre-written robot response, even if you asked specific questions, they will not answer. Just robot. The difference is certainly a culture shock, and EA should seriously reconsider the very 90s way they seem to handle customer support if they want to remain competitive... The fact that they did not do anything until you made this thread is especially worrying, because earlier on in the game when the moderators seemed a little less professional than they are now, I remember threads getting memory hole'd that asked about customer support issues, and I believe it might still be technically against the rules even. Yet if their own support is largely incompetent, what are people to do? It's almost like they want to encourage people to unsubscribe, it's completely stupid. By the way, there's a nice little thread for people with disabilities here if you are interested.
  12. 'Jamie Ponsonby cannot speak, and for years he was trapped in his own world. But his family taught him to type and now the 13-year-old, who has autism, can not only express himself, but also write poetry', BBC News Oh and another good fiction book that prophesied this stuff (I sometimes think that science fiction in a way is the sleeping subconscious of humanity as a whole dreaming about what could be until it becomes true) that came to mind as well as Anne McCaffrey's "Ship" series: The Wormholers by Jamila Gavin 'President Barack Obama talks with Stephen Hawking in the Blue Room of the White House before a ceremony presenting him and 15 others the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Aug. 12, 2009. The Medal of Freedom is the nation's highest civilian honor', Wikipedia When I was googling to find that article, I just found this American one too: Carly Fleischmann: Autistic Girl Who Used A Computer To Ask For Help [permalink] which actually has a link to her blog, Twitter and stuff, and the original article on "ABC News" has a very big comment thread there It really worries me when I read about stuff like City of Heroes being shut down, because I wonder how many kid's worlds they were using to learn in got destroyed. :/ I think in many ways games are things the world has quite took for granted in how utterly wide-reaching they are changing our society (not always for the better if not in moderation though of course) in ways that we're only just beginning to understand on a sociological level, I'm going to link that other BBC article again just because. I've worked with specialeffect.org.uk and they are a very worthy charity
  13. *Shoots the ugly pig alien and it's dog first.* Well, thanks to SelinaK we have this... I'd go for a spukama kitten, that's for sure ! Yesssss they sound lovely ^Is just a such a great idea, EA could put in the AI from the Cats 3 PC game or something hehe
  14. why not? give us your poor reason In the majority of cases it would look absolutely ridiculous and clownish. They'd have to be blocked from indoors areas (especially fleet) at the very least, and that would mean they would be pointless I tried warcrap once, it was utterly ugly the way the cities/fleet equivalents were flooded by ******* in their giant animals running around everywhere, it would totally kill the theme and look utterly stupid, it makes everywhere end up looking like a zoo. The only exception where it could make sense is something like getting a token on planets that duplicates your speeder into the equivalent local planet's animal, and you can only use that token on that planet
