Star Wars: The Old Republic: Pokket Takes on SWTOR LIVE
News Discussion « General Discussion 2/07/12 1:32:42 AM
Sad. People watching other people play a computer game. This is the equivalent of a bad reality tv show like "Big Brother" where people sit at home watching other people sitting at home and call it entertainment. |

Xsyon Earth 2012: Prelude: Architecture Contest Announced
News Discussion « General Discussion 1/31/12 12:28:51 AM
No Trial Yet but one is planned after the next round of changes. i.e. They are currently implementing the ability to buy/sell/rent house structures, implementing totem decay which will spawn undead. You will also be able to store items in house structures now also. The next couple of weeks are going to be interesting to say the least |

In my day (before fast food, fast travel and disposable everything), it was about the journey, not the destination.
I blame our current consumer culture that has bred a generation of "are we there yet, are we there?" children with attention spans of nats.
How about they lift there heads up, unplug the iPod and look out the window on your next train/car trip, you might actually enjoy the scenery.

Brilliant! As a sandbox gamer currently playing Wurm Online and Xsyon this little gem made my day.

TOR Founding Member email - What a Joke
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic 1/19/12 2:27:52 AM
Just received an email from EA/Bioware offering founding membership: http://www.swtor.com/info/founders?sourceid=eag3396 Which says and I quote" As a 'thank you' to everyone who helped make Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ one of the most successful MMO launches in history, we are rewarding early members of The Old Republic with a unique Founder's Medal and "Founder" Title! Have a guess how you qualify for this title: "Billed at least once for an active Star Wars: The Old Republic subscription". Yup. It was not good enough that I preordered and bought the game to qualify as a founding member. I have to pay for at least one additional month. What a money grab. I don't know about you people but this kind of blatant grab for cash makes me fume. Thank goodness I unsubs from this game before my month was up. |

Is Vindictus now playable outside North America i.e. from Australia
General Discussion « Vindictus 1/18/12 12:44:15 AM
The last time I looked Vindictus was only available to play in North America. Can anyone confirm if the game is now playable from Australia? I have tried the Vindictus forums but had no response from the community. Appreciate if any other Aussies can confirm. |

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Tightening Up the Graphics
News Discussion « General Discussion 1/18/12 12:34:57 AM
When a game is typically released it would have a system spec associated with it. (This would normally be on the website/box) of said game. When I purchase a game I always ensure that my system meets or exceeds these specs to ensure that I have a smooth gaming experience. How is it that this company showed a product in promotional videos with a set of high resolution graphics and released system specs that would handle those settings only to after release come out with this SPIN?? It is beyond belief! How can they on one hand release specs that handle the graphics then do a complete flip after the product ships and say NO it doesn't. NONE of this makes sense.

I play all three games I would probably categories them as follows:
Minecraft = Kiddy mode i.e. if you like shallow quick crafting and don't have a lot of time this one works for a few hours play.
Xyson = Still a work in progress, interesting crafting system but no where nearly balanced and it will be at least a year until this game has a feature set worth playing.
Wurm Online = Free to play up to skill level cap of 20 (more than 114 skills you can learn). Wurm is probably the most in depth crafting/terraforming game out there. It is however a major time sink but they have recently added the EPIC server cluster with accelerated skill gain. I have been playing it since 2006 as I have not been able to find anything that compares

According to the video, the Kraken has nearly a million hit points and can smash entire armadas with impunity. The video shows a fleet trying to take on the fearsome underwater world boss, but the players are only able to make a dent for all their efforts. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLEq725gIqE&feature=player_embedded |

How is the Vanguard EU community?
General Discussion « Vanguard: Saga of Heroes 12/30/11 7:49:27 PM
I just started playing again and having a blast. I have seen lots of people in game, the community is great and the game is now running smooth as silk. I wish I had come back to the game earlier.

I have been playing TOR now since Beta and was sitting there after one session dissapointed and was wondering why.
It then dawned on me what it was; The only parallel I can think of is the analogy of the heavily advertised candy store:
1. You see this amazing ad for this great new candy store and being the sweet tooth that you are you decide to try it out.
2. You enter the candy store and are confronted with an array of brightly wrapped candies, all very enticing, with the promise of new flavours.
3. You decide to purchase a selection of said candy, rush home and expectantly unwrap one waiting for that first taste of something new......
4. Suddenly you realise you have tasted this candy before. But no! This cannot be! The ad said "Try our NEW candy with incredible new flavours"
5. You frantically start opening more candy only to discover at the end that there is nothing new with this candy at all. In fact, the candy you were previously buying was better.
Remember folks, never trust the candy man. |

I think you are all forgetting that this is two sided i.e. the PS3 side testing and the existing PC Eve side for testing of the Dust integration. There will be testing (gameplay) on the PC Eve side required so it DOES make sense to offer this to existing PC Subs of the game |

Will you be subscribing after the first month?
General Discussion « Star Wars: The Old Republic 12/23/11 8:56:56 PM
After playing TOR for the past 5 days here is what will happen next:
1. Uninstall TOR; 2. Put game on shelf with the other MMO's gathering dust; 3. Unsubscribe; 4. Check forums in 1 -2 months to follow the TOR server merger SAGA that will unfold as people leave in droves. 5 Check the forums in 12 months to read the "TOR gone F2P" and chuckle. |

What was the point of the pre-order if this is the case.

Originally posted by Zezel Yes this is my issue .. I have guild members that already have access. It would have made sense to let ALL of the same guild members who preorderd access at the same time. |
