WoW Easter egg in SWToR?

[Deleted]

I didn't get this at all. Maybe it's because WoW wasn't the first game I played with shaman and warriors though. None of the terrain made me think of ZG or ZA. This person could be making a joke but an odd one if so.

No he isn't making a joke, I actually got that ZG feel when running through Athis too, it almost felt out of place for the Star Wars universe, granted it's nowhere near as charming as ZG was but it still reminded me of it

[Tastyfish]

People only think Blizz is a reference because they are too stupid and/or lazy to look into the context and see the word Blizz and think "OMFG BLIZZRD EASTER EGG LOLOLOL"

Don't agree with you, everyone is stupid, I get it now!

From the first time I ever ran it, I always thought Athiss was kind of a tribute to WoW - with its Hunters, Shaman, and Warriors. The whole instance has kind of a WoW-ish "troll instance" feel to it as well... reminded me a lot of the Zul'Aman/Zul'Gurub instances.

I cant say that I get any WoW or troll feeling at all from Athiss, but I will most definitly look for it next time I do it.

There are quite a few, especially with the quotes:

"Go with honor."

"Death to all who oppose us."

There are more, but it's early this morning....can't think, lol.

As long as no-one says in a voice that cracks "SUFFER MORTALS! AS YOUR PATHETIC MAGIC BETRAYS YOU!!!"

[Sorrowreach]

No.

Lololol. "No."

Who is this guy? The fun police? Let speculation happen, and ease up on the haterade.

When I first saw it ingame I lol'd so hard on vent

Its more like, don't agree with logic and fact, they are stupid.

I would be surprised if you got that.

Aren't those lines used in a number of things?

[davesurfer]

Because there are many nicknames that have to do/ could go along with a snowstorm.... wait a minute.

I would be surprised if you got that.

Because it is Logic and fact that and easter egg can NEVER be woven into a story. It can not be a clever pun, but ALWAYS has to be out of place with no context.... wait a minute

I would be surprised if you got that

And the whole " OMG DRAGOON IS WOW LAWL"

let's get this straight:

Those quotes are quite commonly used if you actually read some books. Seriously.. a few words must mean that it's a WoW reference? Pathetic.

As for the Dragoons: WoW stole the name "Dragoon" From FFXI, which stole it from something called. Who the hell cares.

Are you people getting so desperate that every word seems to refer to WoW. Why.. seriously, why.

I also felt a troll feeling from the outside, with the ruins and stuff, not to mention some god worshiped beast which is the basis of all most every troll raid / instance. But other then outside not much.

For someone who is calling someone out, you made a huge mistake, Dragoon is a real thing, look it up.

They said they were not doing easter eggs, but calling a little greedy jawa Blizz is too much of a coincidence.

Actually they have a lot of Easter eggs, but they are less blatant than WOW Easter eggs. Many of these Easter eggs also reference other Star Wars material.

I have seen at least 10 jokes based on the Movies, A Wookie playing cards with a protocol droid with its arms removed. A guy on Alderaan saying that it would better to blow Alderaan up than to give in to the Empire. So yes Easter eggs, also if you played other Bioware games there are a few references to other games.

If you are playing Imperial you have seen the Mako (Mass Effect) there are references to Balder Gate and Dragon Age as well. I'm not counting any KOTOR references either.

Blizz could be a reference

He was called Blizz because he was so happy with snow on Hoth that started throwing it around creating a small blizzard, calling it white sand.

[Cynon]

I was looking for it, seriously!

I would've really sh*t myself if I would've heard Selama ashal'anore....

There's a quest on Empire Side called "These are the droids you're looking for"

I was cracking up at the alien with the drink.

And FFXI "stole" the name Dragoon from Starcraft ?

Haha, just did that flashpoint with two rl frields yesterday and they actually mentioned that they thought it looked a lot like Zul'Gurub.

[endersblade]

Sounds to me like people are desperately trying to find WoW in a game that is not WoW. While I dig the SNL one, whether or not it's an actual egg, I certainly hope they don't go overboard like WoW did. WoW kinda killed the fun of easter eggs.

Also OP, if anything, it's SWTOR; why you decided to put 'Old' as a lower-case letter is beyond me.

Pretty much everything vendors greet you with, or say when you walk away from them is a WoW quote...
