Yes Im uber l337...RPG doesnt mean what it use to...listen all Im saying is this was a huge wsate of resources on SOE's part...


Im not bashing anyones professions either, I happen to have an opinion on ID's as a necesity to the game, in fact they are not...the are a very cool idea and if Im not mistaken the first of its kinda in online gameing...


They are not necesarry, they are more of a "hey this is a damn neat feature"....to me something that is a damn neat feature takes a back seat to the overall playblity of the game..






Its amazing you make statements like "you're not a real profession" and "I blame the IDs for the dev's wasting time" and yet you can say 'I'm not bashing anyones profession".


well, at least you make it plain for all to see how you'll say one thing and then deny it a few posts later. you in politics by any chance?









I dont consider what I said to be bashing them, in fact in every post I made I have said how neat the new stuff for ID's is and how neat of a profession they are as well....


just also how much of a waste of time it was on SOE's part on this 'revamp' instead of doing whta they siad they would do moths and months ago......<----Main point


Well, I leave you now as Im off work....enjoy!~

Humm, I dunno if you've seen the movies, but all the holograms that I recall were blue and staticy. And those had nice large platforms. So a little thing, manportable and small enough to be unseen on the body is able to project vivid colors and bright realistic effects? Amazing...someone should have sold one of these to Vader - those talks with the emperor would have been far more intereting with pink kitties and bubbles.


Sorry, it's not like I don't like seeing ID get new things. Lord KNOWS I want my character to be more unique. I've been looking forward to this for a pretty good long time considering I'm not an Image Designer. But it's out of character for the Star Wars universe. Sure, I mean, you can expand on the universe all you want, but if you saw some joe walking across Tatooine sands in eighties fasions during the movies, it would have seemed out of place. So does this. So do Dark Troopers that are neither dark, nor robots. (look at http://www.starwars.com/databank/droid/darktroopers/to see what a Dark Trooper is supposed to be, if you would be so kind)


The point is that everything in the Star Wars Universe up till now pretty much tries to stay with what was before it. What happened in the books happened. Some guy from the eighties didn't just walk on to the pages of a comic book. But Star Wars Galaxies has oft said universe be darned, and then proceeded to darn the universe (okay, what are the sources for mystical Dancer holograms, and why can't the empire afford holograms with color? ). This is just another darning of it, and it's irking.

Ive been staring at these screenshots for over 15 minutes. As much as I try to accept it.. I just cannot see a connection with these "emotes" and Star Wars. For me to accept this it would have to be some kind of machine that creates these holographic images on people's heads. Yes it looks cool, but im my opinion, it does not look Star Warsy.


As much as I would like supporting ID's, please devs, dont derail this game and make it like every other fantasy game. If anyone says that this sort of stuff is on EU, please point me to where it is, I love reading and have read many EU books.

Donno... the dancers and musicians don't have machines for their special lighting effects and what not.

I'll be honest—I'm incredibly disappointed by these holo-emotes. I agree with many others they they're incredibly unStar Warsy, and frankly I'd rather not see them in game at all, on anyone. Do we need and deserve more content? Yes, definitely. But I'm very much afraid that now that we're getting these we'll be ignored for anoth 6+ months and miss out on any of our wish list items we could have had the art team spending time on rather than this. Once again I feel it necessary to point out that this is the first time we've had any concrete information on what these new particle effects are, and I can honestly say that had this information been brought out when we were first told about the possibility I for one would have said scrap it.


Respectfully wishing for better communications,

Thats true I never thought of it.. but maybe I never thought of it because entertainers dance and play musicinside a cantina (most of the time) and you imagine a cantina would have these sorts of things like stage lights and smoke machines, etc.


Im just giving my honest opinion and the first thing that came into my head when I saw that squll was: "Not Star Wars"

Kwee do you agree that they should be for player cities?





Certainly, we've had two or three discussion threads on the topic recently Whether or not it will happen is up in the air. The devs have assured me they will be monitoring tent use, and I will be passing player feedback along.





Well Kwee, it's fairly obvious to me that the tents will be able to be placed by IDs since if you look carefully at the SS of the one in this thread, it has that characteristic non-static building foundation......... the one that allows for placing anywhere on the map by raising the floor up a meter or so........ and it's obviously placed out in the middle of nowhere.......... my question really was are these going to be placeable anywhere on the map or will they be restricted to player cities like the other 3 profession specific buildings?


I hope the latter, because, as I said, our player cities are in dire need of attention...





They may have the ability to be placed anywhere on the internal server(s) but the ones we are getting next week will not be player placeable.

I think the images look fun.


For all those complaining about it being non-star warsy, don't you realize that SW:G is part of the Star Wars franchise and that some things might first be introduced into the EU through this game? I think it would be all too funny if George Lucas saw these ideas and decided to use them in a street or cantina scene in the next movie. How alien would it seemto see people decorated by holo-projections? Pretty neat touch, actually.


As for devices, just assume it's nano-projectors or something.

OK, first of all duck you have no idea of what your talking about


second of once you where proven wrong you still argued you where just like "oh yeah well i still dont like it cus i dont like being wrong" (that is very childish and i hate when people do that)


finally we have a datapad and a holocron that is built into our interface (you know CTR-D or CTR-H) would it not be logical to say that IDs upload it to one or the other? if you where a roll player it wouldn't be hard to roll play this off theres loads of explinations. and if your not a roll player, well then why should you care about an explination!?!?


also i usually dont attack people like this but im tired of your bickering, i know this still wount get to you because you seem very stubbern and will never admit to being wrong
