TOR The Official "Things We'd Like to See in ToR" Thread

We're Star Wars fans. We're demanding. We love to make demands. Even more than that, we love it when our demands are met. So here's the place where you can discuss what you'd like to see in the upcoming and highly anticipated MMORPG. Be warned, however, that posts such as "the game should be just like WoW," or "I hope it's not like dumb SWG," are not constructive and are not necessary! Constructive discussion, and nothing else, is permitted in this thread. Okay, constructive discussion with a little harmless drooling on the side.

 

NAGA SADOW riding an escalator with DARTH NIHL on a pony.

 

I concur on the Yuuzhan Vong encounter, I mean we have Killiks and possibly Chiss so why not Vong! But in addition to that, personally I would like to see some Red Sith and aspects of the Old Sith Empire within the Imperial faction. So Kissai and Massassi companions! So lets see some Sith monsters being used in addition to the Sith troopers and things like Meditation Spheres or stuff like that. Perhaps have Republic/Jedi and Imperial/Sith fighting monsters like Leviathans left behind from the Hundred-Year Darkness?

 

My dream of this game is when I play; I get to take a Sith Inquisitor who gets a Sith Meditation Sphere, have a Massassi bodyguard companion and a Kissai priest, be loaded with talismans and amulets and finally have a small Sith bird familiar that I call Sadow

 

Original Designs not looking like freaking Clone Wars. It is seriously the only thing that keeps me from throwing myself into it, right now.

Space flight in an very early expansion.

 

I was actually being serious. You would be surprised what kinds of things you see in video games this big.

 

I myself could do without the space/fighter pilot action.

More than anything, I'd like to see some more 'third-party' factions rise up to create common enemies for both the Republic and Empire. Having just two sides will get boring quick... They've already announced Killiks. Mandalorians are a good possibility. I'd be ok with Vong...but meh would be hard to bring them in without messing up their backstory.

What about some ancient powerful Celestial action? Another Rakatan super-weapon/facility?

 

One of our first images of Dromund Kaas included pole dancing....

 

That reminds me, I'd also like to see stripping as a side profession in this game, kind of like the career in Galaxies.

 

I am liking the Yuuzhan Vong idea. Space flight would be pretty sweet. If not full on space flight, something like in Mass Effect 2 wouldn't be too bad either. I rather enjoyed that (not the mining, just the flying).

 

A Vong scout ship or advance base would make a great raid encounter.

Vehicle mechanics. I thought they worked great in Wrath despite having some bugs, and I think they would fit naturally into Star Wars.

Funny stuff. Not everything has to be serious all the time.

Droid uprising!

Playable Red Sith.

 

I would like to see this and wouldnt be surprised if this is the case. WoW has the Horde and Alliance at times uniting to fight against a greater evil at times and its a good concept as it lets players on opposing sides fight a common foe before returning to the status quo. I wouldnt be surprised if perhaps there are either some Rakata or some greater menace out there for both the Sith/Imperials and Jedi/Republic to face. BioWare tends to have powerful precursor or ancient races hanging around in their universes.

 

I want to see good PVP, ships we can call our own and live on, and lots of group play (instances/raids)

 

Yeah about the living on ships thing... either that, or houses. Some kind of home to own would be great.

 

I want to build my own Force Temple.
Not Jedi. Not Sith.

Just a law-abiding and devoted bunch....
with a martial plan for order.

U steal? U lose the *hand in question.
U fib, or bend the truth? Gimme the *tongue.
U do anything immoral, illegal or even fart in my vicinity? Off with thy *head.


*light saber required

 

I'd like to see some decent crafting too.

 

I'd love, love, love to see the inside of some Sith tombs, a la KotOR's Korriban level. I've played that level so many times that I just about have it memorized. Any time we get to see Korriban in a game, I'm thrilled.

 

Korriban was button-mash heaven...
Loved that level.

 

Agreed 100%. I am excited to see what Korriban is going to have to offer in this game and hope for tombs as well.

 

I hope that we have the ability to choose different saber styles at different times.
If I'm one on one, or against a small group of Force sensitive foes, I want to be able to link-up two hilts back to back and form a double bladed light saber. OR, any other saber style that tickles my fancy on a given day.

 

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do that. From the dev video you'll definitely be able to pick up a saber after you kill an enemy and dual wield.

 

Speaking of tombs... there were animated corpses on Dromund Kaas in Mysteries of the Sith. I always assumed they were something the Dark Side Prophets cooked up, but they could be relics of something even older.



And on the subject of Dromund Kaas, I'd like to see an easter egg-type gig, where one of your missions turns the game into the old Dark Forces/Mysteries of the Sith-style format, cheezy pixelated artwork and all. Just for old times sake.

 

I hope so. I loved the variety that both Kotor games provided. And I grew absolutely-weary of seeing the same saber-grip in Force unleashed. I want to be able to change my style at will, it lends to better game-play from my POV.
