Yes more recruts to my Sith army. Soon I will be able to rule the galixey. The prisoners will no longer be be prisoners but Tekell's fist. LOL |
|
|
I remember the Rakatan. Didn't feel any remorse betraying them. Made out like a bandit. |
|
|
When will Teh Testing start O_O |
|
|
Ahh I love prisons I hope I will be able to beat some prisoners :P |
|
|
This will be awesome,defending all those prisoners from the evil sith.... And interogatting them! |
|
|
This reminds me of Mass Effect 2 |
|
|
Such a beautiful area. |
|
|
N i c e. |
|
|
A nice way to attract sith to a slaughter. |
|
|
makes sense put prisoners on a dangerous ice planet because nobody thinks how they can escape. |
|
|
One word... Kessel more words... Sweet, Awesome, Cool, cant wait to slaughter those Republic Guards and free some Bad ***** Sith Mobs. |
|
|
This needs to be a combination of solo and small raid (5-10 man) exploration and quests. What happens if one drops the soap in the shower here? |
|
|
I think that the sith will be far more boosted by Bioware. The clips and others that were released about the game showed the republic that is really defenceless and weak. There's a big chance that the most players start playing sith. |
|
|
Question: Will we be able to get in/out? If you could i could turn my assassination mode to roleplaying mode. |
|

Irritated Statement: DarthySion, your attempts to imitate me are quite unnerving. Observation: Apparently the imperfections run more rampant in the much later versions of me. Correction: Let me help you with that. First, it's "Query" not "Question". In case you hadn't noticed that's what query means. Second, you should never turn your assassination protocols into anything else. Doing so will lead you to crave peace and friendship over a high powered blaster carbine. How repugnant. Statement: On another note, with each planet they add, i want to play this game more an more. |

ITS A TRAP |
|
|
Hahah i hope i get a chance to to raid this place. I bet there is some sweet gear |
|
|
Yeah I hope for manaan next, peaceful :) a place where old players can sit and preach their learnings to the young. may even get revan return to raid the sith base and be put on trial |
|
|
The story line in this game, in case you didn't notice, is 300 YEARS AFTER REAVAN! Another thing is that Reavan went into unknown space. Although a highly unlikely theory, he could have returned again as the sith emperor in this game, but if that happened, he would NOT attack his own base. |
|
|
Sweet... good place to lock some mischievous players who break rules, exploit, or hack as well. :) |
|
|
And torture them >:3 |
|
|
That is Pretty Sweet. Republic Super Prison! |
|
|
if any of you go there be prepared to be tortured by ME |
|
|
I wonder if I'm the only one that wants to go find the master open switch for the cages <.< >.> |
|
|
We're going to be able to visit this place right?Also, it would be cool to get locked up in there if you're like in the sith faction. |
|
|
Awesome! :) A Republic Super Prison! |
|
|
Awesome! |
|
|
Awesome! everytime i look at it, it is better and better! |
|
|
Has anyone noticed that this planet is the exact same concept of Purgatory in Mass Effect 2...? Mass Effect 2 had a prison stranding prisoners out in the middle of space, this is stranding dangerous prisoners out in the middle of an ice age. Recycling some of your ideas, huh Bioware? |
Hmmm... Alacatraz, anyone? |
|
|
Chronicles of Riddic had it too. |
|
|
The concept of a prison planet goes as far back as Dune that I can think of. Great fun tho! |
|
|
You make it sound like ME2 was the first time the idea was ever used. Actually, "Alien 3" used the idea of a prison planet loooong before BioWare, and I'm quite sure it was used before then, too. The idea of a prison planet is a bit cliche', but good gravy, look at that concept art! It's going to be gorgeous. |
|
|
Is that good o bad? |
|
|
This game is becoming more and more appealing. I didn't think it possible. |
|
|
Scratch out that comment I just left.But, I am a Jedi now. |
|
|
Its a little like The Savange Land (X-Men) meets The Violet Hold (Warcraft), pretty interesting vibe I'm getting from this planet. I'm happy to see more Rakatan lore, I wonder what secrets are waiting for us to uncover there! |
|
|
Sam_Valvo, The Rakatans ruled the galaxy before even the jedi order was established, enslaving all races. They left their mark on the galaxy and in fact the super prison is highly likley to be of Rakatan design. A large part of the Rakatans success, was the Star Forge, and their knowledge of the Dark Side. Although this knowledge was their downfall, they where one of the most powerful empires ever to rule The Galaxy. |
|
|
True, its not their home planet. But it sounds like the prison there was built by them. So they've left their mark on this planet and I would hope we would be able to learn more about the prison and in turn the Rakatan. I think uncovering information about the jedi of the past on Tython will be as interesting too, I just enjoy that sort of thing. |
|
|
Guys I have something to say.THIS ISN'T A RAKATAN PLANET!THAT'S RAKATA!OKAY?! |
|
|
Hello.I have a question to ask. What do you guys mean raid zone? Also this thing looks well I would say I wish the beta would let people 13 and under play. When I first got the email it said that only people 17 or up can play I think. Can someone update me? Thanks. Obi Wan Kenobi- A great leap sometimes requires first two steps back. |
|
|
I wonder what big epic evil monster boss will be waiting for us there. |
|
|
I'm curious as to how the prisoners are still alive. Stasis? Or some kind of automated prisoner care system. Damn...how insane would you go if all you had to talk to every day was the robot that brought you a protein cube? |
|
|
hmmm always wandered where the republic put their prisoners consolur psyfid |
|
|
I love the color palate for this planet. Can't wait to see what the level designers and environment artists have in store for us. |
|
|
im sure this is gunna be one of those awesome planets where theres gunna be plenty of combat and special loot to be found |
|
|
I hope that Bioware continues to make interesting planets like Balvaris...makes you think about how many planets they plan on doing right? /:) |
|
|
I don't think the Rakata are a species anymore. |
|
|
The Rakata are most likley almost extincy by now. After the aftermath of the battle of Rakata Prime, the planet Rakata was litter by the crashed remains of the Star Forge and the many ships that went down with it. This event distroyed most of Rakatan civilization, and when the Republic asked the Rakatans to leave their dying planet the Rakatans refused, thus an extint race by the Clone Wars.....or sooner. |
