SWTOR information gathered thus far from various sources

So, I was watching Young Justice, and they had a red human hating robot call people Meatbags

[SinR]

I think Bender called Fry a Meatbag on an episode of Futurama. maybe.

Well one of the developers posted this a while back:

So from that we know that only Sith warriors/Jedi Knights and Consulars/Inquisitors can get Master/Lord/Darth etc titles, that they will be story based, and that not everyone will get them. Personally I hope that it doesn't involve constantly doing the complete evil options to get a Darth title, that'd be rather bland if you ask me. Darths may be evil, but they're also (usually) extremely smart and cunning.

Damn, that's great info. I actually expected it to be quite binary, you know - just complete the story and collect the titles. I think it's great that it depends on the choices you make, even though I'll be disappointed if you have to be a slaughter-happy maniac to get it.

Bender calls people "meatbags" ALL the time. Like every 5 episodes, and definitely a lot in the "Beast with a billion backs" Futurama movie, where he leads a robot uprising =)

i know at the least in the movie "surrogates" one of the surrogates(a machine) calls another human "meatbag" at the begining, though ironicly he was the one that got blasted and not the human

Sorry this took so long to post! Halloween in Oz is definitely interesting but you do get lots of honks by cars!





And just for fun because we were all so amused by this at the bar:

Phase 3 for Guilds is or about to be going into deployment real soon

[Blznsmri]

You know, I wasn't all that excited about playing this game until I saw that trailer shown at E3 or whatever.

That made me feel dirty in so many good ways.


Oh and I want a Darksaber

Server types:

There will be four different server types in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here's how they work generally, and details on how we're dealing with roleplaying (RP) servers:

PvE (Player vs Environment) – Players will have to manually flag themselves if they wish to engage in PvP outside of designated Warzones and Open World PvP areas.

PvP (Player vs Player) – Players are automatically flagged for PvP outside of the designated 'safe' areas (such as Origin Worlds, Capital Worlds, and the Republic/Imperial Fleets; see below for more info).

RP-PvE – Players are encouraged to roleplay and act ‘in-character’ while playing on an RP-PvE server. Players must manually flag themselves if they wish to engage in PvP outside of designated Warzones and Open World PvP areas.

RP-PvP – Players are encouraged to roleplay and act ‘in-character’ while playing on an RP-PvP server. Players are automatically flagged for PvP outside of the designated 'safe' areas (such as Origin Worlds, Capital Worlds, and the Republic/Imperial Fleets; see below for more info).

The pre-launch Guild Headquarters currently allows you to select between three different server types for your guild: PvE, PvP, and RP, which will determine your server placement during Phase 3: Deployment. During Deployment, we will be placing all eligible guilds that select 'RP' onto RP-PvE servers by default. If a guild wishes to exist on an RP-PvP server, they will need to create their guild manually on a new server once they reach their Capital World (Dromund Kaas or Coruscant) and create their guild.

The decision to make RP-PvP servers an option for players was made recently, which is why the choice was not available in the Guild Headquarters to start with. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but we hope you are as excited as we are to be able to choose this option for your guild in the game at launch.

PvP server rulesets

We also wanted to expand on what the PvP server ruleset means in The Old Republic. The obvious overarching rule is that in general, if you see a player of the opposite faction, you may immediately engage them in combat.

The exception to this rule is sanctuaries, which are large areas where PvP may not take place, regardless of whether you are flagged or unflagged for PvP. Examples of this are the Origin Worlds (Tython, Ord Mantell, Hutta, and Korriban), the Capital Worlds for both sides (Dromund Kaas and Coruscant), and the Republic/Imperial Fleets.

Hopefully this post helps inform your decision as to which server type you'd like to play on at launch. If you haven’t already, create a guild on the Guild Headquarters so that you can get placed on a server before the game launches!

PvP server ftw. Also does anyone know about hard modes for flash points? Like a heroic version of taral V when you reach max level?

[Thornstar]

I know it is said all dungeons are available at a max level deal. Hard modes I do not know but they are all there at max.

Is the website not working for anyone else? I keep getting login failed repeatedly even after I changed my password which in itself took about a dozen attempts because it "couldn't locate my account info". Edit: Finally worked after about twenty attempts.

Hard mode or "Heroic" versions do exist for flashpoints at higher levels. They have also stated, which might have changed since it is beta, that low level flashpoints will have a end-game version. So it is pretty logical to say that Taral V will have a heroic level cap version.

Another Friday update is almost here. I'm hoping for more videos either armor progression or one of those choose your side videos.

Definitely relevant to the thread, gg moderator

Post constructively, or don't bother posting at all. -3clipse

Yes, god forbid there are any slightly off-topic posts in what is essentially the TOR chat thread.

Good eye, 12-post guy, thank goodness you were here to catch this!

[Deleted]

yeah because I have only made 12 posts that makes my thoughts and opinions less valid.
