  1. I’d love to see armor based on the kotor comic mandalorians, especially Demagol’s. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/4/41/Demagol.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150807041501
  2. Walker segments were never fun, but they used to just be tedious. Now they're tedious AND frustrating. Same with turrets like on Iokath. They really need to make these all skippable.
  3. Because I have feelings for one of the biggest cultural touchstones of the 20th century? for the story that resonated with audiences like almost no other fiction has in centuries? The one that has become so ingrained in popular culture that Jedi is an actual recognized religion, that basically anyone in the western world can quote lines from and recognize characters of because it was so beloved by the world? Because I’m upset that this massive cultural touchstone has been butchered by a company that goes out of its way to insult the fans? The simple fact, though, is that no matter how much we talk back and forth we will never ever agree. You consider Disney Star Wars to be a quality, enjoyable product, something that gives you happiness, and you’d like more of it because you enjoy it. I consider Disney’s treatment of the franchise an absolute insult to a hugely important part of Hollywood history and a hugely influential factor in my own life, and want it kept firmly away from the one remaining part of the franchise that still honors its history. We will never come to an agreement or be able to change each other’s minds, so there’s no point in arguing.
  4. Neither. I literally cannot describe how much I hate that movie. I was miserable for a solid month after seeing it before accepting that Disney had told me I wasn’t wanted anymore. Star Wars meant a lot to me growing up, it was my childhood in a huge way. I was the die hard fan, the one who owned literally every single expanded universe book, comic, game, and Rp supplement, and force awakens went out of its way to stomp on every theme the original trilogy had. It retconned the eu out of existence and filled itself with horrible, low quality ripoffs of the characters and stories it had just said no longer existed. Im sure last Jedi is worse, but I wouldn’t know. I wasn’t going to spend money to see a sequel to the worst movie I ever saw.
  5. I didn’t “choose” to find Force Awakens the single worst piece of fiction I’ve ever seen. I went in there excited, came out miserable, and it’s only gotten worse since then. SWTOR is the last ongoing eu story, my one and only refuge from Disney’s butchering of canon, killing of major characters for shock value, retcons of how the force works, and the sort of stupid badly written villains and super weapons the eu moved on from decades ago. I purchased SWTOR pre-Disney. The story was explicitly not Disney canon. Adding Disney elements to it now is the equivalent of a restaurant adding ingredients you hate to a meal after you already bought it and started eating. Now, I’m not overly upset by the mention of tea or something, it just worries me that it’s a trend of them adding more and more Disney elements going forward. A brand of tea can be ignored. A flashpoint on Jaaku cannot, and that’s what worries me - that they’re testing the waters and will be adding more and more Disney to it in future.
  6. A better analogy would be that the people with a peanut allergy request that you please stop adding peanuts to the food they’re currently eating.
  7. I don’t think it’s just walkers, either. The daily on iokath where you have to control a turret is impossible too, enemies almost one shot you.
  8. Exactly. We got books, games, comics, and even tv shows constantly prior to Disney butchering the franchise and cutting off all the ongoing plots, never to be resolved. Rest in peace, Sword of the Jedi. Even if you'd been just the word "jedi" copy-pasted for three books with no other text you'd be a better story than Force Awakens.
  9. Agreed. A large portion of my love for SWTOR is because it's a last remnant of the true EU before Disney started butchering everything of the franchise I used to love. Whenever SWTOR references the leprous clown that is Disney SW it just makes me sad.
  10. Have a global scoreboard for each faction, tracking stuff like quests completed, enemies killed, etc, and at the end of the event, have some sort of special reward for the faction with the higher score. Maybe give them bonus quests during the inactive period for the event, or bonus reputation, or something like that.
  11. There are some benefits to DX12 (it fixes some issues related to having both an integrated GPU and a discreet one, which is useful for gaming laptops), but I understand what you mean. I mainly suggest DX11 instead of Vulkan because I imagine it would be easier for BW to switch to DX11, but Vulkan would be better, yes. I don't see why it would be "in addition to" instead of replacing it outright, though. If they officially abandon support for Vista and older in October, then all officially supported OS's will be capable of 64 bit and DX11, so maintaining older backends would just be extra work for Bioware.
  12. So since XP and Vista support is being dropped, now is the perfect time to also switch over to DX11/12 and a 64-bit client, since Windows 7 and up supports DX11 and 64-bit as is.
  13. OK, but let's not deny that a "Great Train Robbery" style warzone would be pretty awesome.
  14. No, no, a thousand times no. I don't want anything in this game that can remind me of the kotfe/kotet fiasco. Wrap up the current story then move as far away from it as possible and never mention it again. No more Malgus either. They already butchered Revan beyond recognition, let dead characters stay dead. Malgus wasn't even an interesting character anyway imo.
  15. That would be preferred. The hiding of exploration quests and the massive difficulty nerf to all main story quests, combined with the extreme leveling speed even for brand new players, means the vanilla game is too easy to be fun and new players reach endgame without knowing important mechanics. Edit: not to say we should go back to 1.0 exp rates or anything. Just slow leveling a bit. Or go eso style and make level a basically irrelevant since everything is scaled to the same level as the zone.
