One of my favorite companions so far. I'm a sucker for the honorable, traditional types, and the fact that he looks like a one-eyed sniper is awesome.

It also helps that he's a fucking lizard mad.

Trooper and Consular are now officially tied for Alt Status.

That was sexual....loved the music...loved the fact that big burly guy you'd think would be like a trooper or Jedi Guardian is a consular ( at least thats how i imagine things). That was a great video. These videos make it even harder for me to decide on what i'll start with. Hell....i have a very hard time even picking a starter pokemon when a new gen pokemon game comes out.....


Oh and i've never played MMOs so perhaps u can answer this....
How do you like save game? I know its been said there is no pause button and you can't just save the game and undo decisions you've made and stuff - so how does it work exactly?

[Capt Haggis]

You don't. Whatever you do is permanent. You buy something you don't need the best you can get back is vendor price. You throw away a item it's gone for good. You fall off a cliff you got to rez even if you turn off the game.

[StrawHatRican]

Every single thing you do is auto saved on Bioware's servers, which is the reason this will most likely be a regular monthly payment game, them servers don't pay themselves.

Actually, there is a lil something about "making mistakes in conversations" that should be noted.

Pressing escape in the middle of a conversation ends it and any "progress made" will be rebooted until you ACTUALLY finish the conversation.

So let's say your cat walks all over the keyboard and you make a BAD (lol) conversation choice... you can spam escape and get out of the conversation without the repercussions.

But once a decision it's made and you let it play out, you are DONE, the choices are permanent.

Yeah, every 3-4 Fridays we get the Fan Friday Update and usually it's pretty meh and "community" oriented.

I did like the Aubedersh (sp?) chat icons though.

"Aurebesh"

and that's understandable.

[Capt Haggis]

But next week eternity vault video seems likely.

And I'm thinking the smuggler progression should be right around the corner.

[StrawHatRican]

Not only that... but there's the matter of PAX, and apparently a Sunday Primetime announcement from the Bioware TOR team.

Can we haz release date or moar beta details?

Cuz why not >:3

now those are good reasons

[StrawHatRican]

Initially I was going to have 10 reasons, but 5 of them were extremely "technical" and wouldn't really matter to people who've never played MMOs.

But I think those 5 core reasons are enough to get Hype!

AHHHHHHHHHH! shit a spider

Hey guys...



Raiding in TOR just got REAL.

Fuck that was freakin badass. I'm really lookin forward to Belsavis. Looks like it'll be proper hardcore stuff goin down - especially with that juge robot thingy that just wiped everyone out so easily..

[StrawHatRican]

For those that don't follow this game like I do.

Everyone in that raid had 44kHP+ (some even had 50k)

And they got owned by the FIRST boss of the raid.

Hyped yet?
