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

I want to be able to use Sith magic. Ancient Sith = Sith magic. I want to be able to cast spells, use amulets, Sith alchemy, and have access to a host of arcane Force powers.

 

I'd like to see class-oriented quests, for instance maybe a Bounty Hunter has to travel to different planets and capture bounties or a Jedi must defeat a few Sith warriors all by himself. Also, maybe some Revan/Malak flashbacks. And perhaps DARKSABERS!!!

 

A dynamic game world that feels as if I'm having an impact while doing compelling quests WITHOUT a phasing system that leaves me standing around going "Guys? Where did you all go?" "We're right here! Where are you?" "I'm right here too! I swear!" "Umm..." "Anyone? AAaaanyone? ...Bueller??!"

Armor that actually looks like armor will also be a plus. I can do without any more "This is the strongest armor in the game? ...So why does it look like three strategically placed cheese triangles when my female character puts it on?" in my MMOs.

 

An advanced class for either the Jedi Knight or the Jedi Consular that mimicks the Jedi Sentinel class from the KOTOR titles. That was always my best class, since I loved the balanced approach it brought.

 

I would be terribly surprised if the Jedi Knight Advanced Classes wouldn't be Guardian and Sentinel. At least in name - actual abilities might not be similar.

I just have to smile remembering all the threads on TOR forums where people demanded that the Jedi Knight class must be changed to Jedi Guardian...

 

An Advanced Class or a talent tree or whatever for either the Jedi Consular or Jedi Knight that replicates the Jedi Sentinel class from the KOTOR titles. As a guy who always went for the Sentinel, I can't stress this enough!

 

Err, first off, sorry for the earlier DP of that same idea- seem to have forgotten I'd already posted here...

Second, I had another I wanted to mention: if we DO get a balanced Sentinel-esque advanced class- and this is specific for the Consulars, mind you- for all that is good in this world, I do NOT want that to mean I have to use a double-bladed lightsaber! They're pretty, but give me a single-blade any day!

 

I would love to see what happened to the exile and Revan and the Eben hawk. oh and have a big slection of ships. not one per class, more like a hundred for each side. ok maby not a hundred but you get what I mean.

 

I'd like to see the Class system completely scrapped so that players don't have to be pidgeonholed into little pre-made splats they don't feel comfortable with. I mean, what if I want to play a bad guy smuggler, or a good guy bounty hunter? Or maybe I don't want to play other - maybe I want to play an honest merchant in the Star Wars universe. Or a Senator?

I'd also like to see an rpg - any computer rpg, that goes away from the "walk along the dotted line, kill all the bots, get the loot, collect the xp and solve the quest" kind of gameplay. What if the experience I want from an rpg is to not solve the plots using violence at all? What if I want to solve my quests by use of dialogue, subterfure, intrigue?

 

Danaan has a great point. the smugglers and bounty hunters should be able to be Jedi or Sith, and the jedi at least should be able to give peaceful results, But I dont agree with the senator class the merchant seems like a good idea thought

 

Thanks! I just wanted to bring the focus to the inherent role-playing, story and drama potential inherent in non-combat roles. Obviously politics won't be something for everybody (though don't underestimate the potential excitiment in trying to get people to vote for your bill) - but computer rpgs are clearly locked in the little Dungeons & Dragons dungeoncrawl box. It seriously needs to get out of there. At least if it wants to attract a new audience...

 

I think I'm hoping for more customization. With clothes and everything, but mostly I can't think of anything else. Maybe more classes to chose from.

 

As a major Exile fan (she's my favorite SW game character to date), I have to second this.

omg dude she is my fav too

 

*high-fives the above poster*

Seriously, I want some closure for the Exile, the lady who led the way to the broken Jedi Order's return.

 

One thing I absolutely loved with SWG was having housing (I know there is some speculation about it but not sure if it is confirmed yet). It just gave this additional level to the game that made it seem all the more real, personal, and unique. Someone recently said lots of customization... I'm all for it. I love being able to make characters and such exactly your own.

 

Really, there are a number of planets to choose from. I don't know why but I would also like Felucia to appear since I kind of like that world for some reason. Still, I hope they put priority on TotJ/KotOR worlds so Onderon, Arkania, maybe Empress Teta etc.

 

I'm hoping there will be some unique races to play!

 

Personal ships seem to take (among other things) the place of housing in TOR.
