Hey everyone,

While I'm sure this is obvious, I'll say it anyways. If you don't want to join us on Facebook or Twitter, you don't have to. And it's not like (pun not intended) we're never going to reveal what we'd like to. Anything we want to reveal will all be done over time and before the game is out so everyone can decide what they want to do with the best information available. So, in the worst case scenario, you just get the information a little bit later.

And I forget who mentioned it earlier but yes, the final result is the combination of the numbers for our English, French, and German fan pages on each of those social networks. So it's not 200,000 each (ie, not 600,000)... it's 200,000 total for Facebook and 30,000 total for Twitter.

Die Ankündigung, dass die Spieltests laufen, wurde auch bei uns im Ankündigungsforum gepostet - zeitgleich mit Sean. Ich möchte euch deshalb bitten, auch dort weiterzudiskutieren. Danke
P.S.: Es handelt sich um einen Spieltest, nicht um einen Betatest.
 

General Discussion -> Morgan Webb no longer moderating TOR Comic-Con panel?

Now that I look at the programming schedule at comic-con, where it says the speakers of the panel, it lists nothing about morgan webb at all. I was really excited that she was going to be a part of the panel, so I'm trying to figure this out.

Does anyone know if she canceled or something or what?
This was a new twist so some outlets may not have gotten the news in time but yes, she is still moderating the panel. From my understanding (granted, she didn't tell me herself), Morgan is really excited about this and is probably going to brag to Adam and Kevin.

The answer might need to be officially stated somewhere, because... it has started!
Being able to have the community help us test The Old Republic is very important and valuable to the development process. The Game Testing Program allows community members to give us quality feedback so we can make adjustments and have a highly effective service and entertaining experience when we do launch. Since we have some time until the game is complete, some of the information testers have access to has not been released and may actually drastically change based on tester feedback before we go public with it.

This is why we take violations of any of our user agreements very seriously. Our expectation is that players of The Old Republic will follow the terms of the Game Testing Agreement and ensure that the confidential pre-release information we’re sharing with community members remains confidential. We will take action if that is not the case.

Anyone caught promoting confidential information (such as linking to, reposting, quoting, etc) will be contacted and such information removed from our community. Actions that can occur due to this can be simply removing the post to being suspended to being completely and indefinitely suspended from the entire service (including after we launch).

i have just one question. can you just tell people you got picked to test the game but not anything about it, or is that bad too. just want to know in case i do get picked because i would want to scream it from the rooftops that i got picked (but only if it is ok lol0
Seitis responded but I'll just make it official. You can tell someone that you have indeed been invited to Game Testing but you can't really say anything more than that. And by "saying", I mean speaking aloud or posting it... that doesn't include forwarding your invite to someone or taking a screen capture of it and posting it somewhere. That last part isn't directed at you, darkflm. I'm justbeing specific since some people may not realize that.

It states you can't publicly state anything more than that. Users who are in testing will be given private areas to give feedback and communicate with the TOR team.

So depending on the test phases types, I might be more helpful for checking the dialogs and VO in French than in English.... even if I always play all video games in English. And your selection tool could hardly guess I speak French as I don't post on the French part of the Forums either.

As there are certainly a quite a few thousands persons in this case, it would be interesting to figure it out or let them the choice of language.


/Have a nice WE.
We already capture language selection in Essential Info (under "My Account".

General Discussion -> Game Testing and You! [Game Testing Discussion Thread]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 10.07.2010 um 02:58 Uhr

First, we definitely share in everyone’s excitement. This is another step in preparing The Old Republic for launch and the team is just as eager for this as all of you!

Since there is a lot of questions and discussion about Game Testing, I thought it might be a good time to start a new thread. A few threads you may want to check out, though:I’ve been reading through a lot of the posts and there are some really good questions in there so I’ll do my best to answer them.

First thing, what we announced is “Game Testing". This is currently underway and will end near the release of the game and happen in a variety of stages. We will be inviting people to different stages and just because you get invited to one stage doesn’t mean you’ll be invited back to another one. Unlike testing that many of you may have participated in with other games, we aren’t looking for people to test “everything". Each of our tests are focused on a certain or a set of goals and areas. We want people to have clear direction on what we’d like help evaluating.

The Game Testing Program is all about us validating the features and design of the game. If we find an area that people just aren’t enjoying as much as we’d like, it shows us that we need to adjust that feature. That is much easier to do when you have clear goals and ideas as to what we are looking for instead of just “the game".

Another thing I see people inquiring about is what I mean when I keep calling things the “service". While the game is a big part of it, it isn’t everything. We look at the entire experience as the service; the website, the community, the game, etc. This holds as true now as it will once we're done with development and fully launched the entire service.

Yes, testing is only in North America now. Currently the service is all supported here but it won’t always be here. Our entire community is very important to us. As you’ll note, with few exceptions, our updates go out simultaneously in English, French, and German. This is because we treat the community as one as much as possible. But we have some time till Spring 2011 (although it is getting closer every day!) and right now, we’re doing what is best for the service in the long-run. We could of just not announced what locales we’re testing in now but we felt it better to be upfront with our community. We also could of held back on testing altogether and not start until we can in all of the areas we’ll be launching the service but I think most of you will agree that we would lose valuable time and feedback if we did that. We’re not announcing just when yet, but we definitely plan on opening up phases of Game Testing to other countries before we launch (and not as a last minute “Open" test).

A couple quick notes/answers:
  • We didn’t announce that Game Testing Began today, we announced that it is underway… subtle difference but there is one.
  • Make sure your email address is up-to-date! This means that the account name that you use to log in to the website is the email address we will be sending an invitation to if you are selected.
  • For those worried about missing any of our transactional emails, make sure you add no-reply@bioware.swtor.com to your address book!
  • How often will we send out updates? As often as possible! It will be different time intervals for different tests.
  • You do not need to sign-up again if you did previously but I would recommend making sure your Additional Details and System Scan are up to date (as well as your email address)! And you can do this any time under "My Account".
  • What data do we track? A lot. If you read the Terms of Service and Game Testing Agreement, you will get a good idea of it all.
  • Since this is all part of the service, any accounts that are in a suspended status when we are sending out invitations will not be invited. As I said, it’s a total service and your account is treated the same throughout the entire service. If you are temporarily suspended, once your suspension is up, you will be eligible again for testing.
  • Speaking of Community – No, post count does not weigh any in the decision of who gets into testing. If community participation was a factor, it would be based on the behavior and quality of interactions with the rest of the community.
And last but not least, I’ll reiterate the point that being able to have the community help us test The Old Republic is very important and valuable to the development process. The Game Testing Program allows community members to give us quality feedback so we can make adjustments and have a highly effective service and entertaining experience when we do launch. Our expectation is that players of The Old Republic will follow the terms of the Game Testing Agreement and ensure that the confidential pre-release information we’re sharing with community members remains confidential.

This thread is now open for questions and discussion!

It will go to the email address your account is tied to (what you log into the website with). If your email address is not up to date, I GREATLY recommending going into "My Account" and updating it.

Never too late! Well, at least until launch, then it might be too late. But go to the Testing Portal and it'll let you update your info there, to include redoing the system scan.

It has nothing to do with us prioritizing North American customers. It has to do with BioWare Austin is in Austin, Texas. We have not launched our full infrastructure and connecting from Europe to North America on an in-development product will not give you the best experience. Once we have our European Infrastructure rolled out, we'll be testing there, too.

If picking testers had anything to do with community discussions, it definitely would not be based on post count. On the quality of posts is definitely a possibility and someone who's been indefinitely suspended is another one.

All four players were level eight; I believe they were slightly higher in the G4 video, I'll check when I get to my home DVR.
This is indeed another take of what happened during E3. In here you have Brian Arndt as the Smuggler, Rob Chestney as the Trooper, Cory as the Jedi Knight, and I played the Jedi Consular.

This was something shown during E3 on G4 but we wanted to give you a version that had no cuts from start to finish, where you got to hear the VO, and saw the same setup tackled in a slightly different way.

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 02.07.2010 um 22:43 Uhr

During E3 we gave live demos of multiplayer game play in The Old Republic for the press. Now we want to share the demo with the community! This demo shows how a diverse group of players use their abilities to complement one another in battle.

Commander Narlock readies his troops for an Imperial assault. As he does, all four Republic classes; a Jedi Consular, Jedi Knight, Smuggler, and Trooper join together to assist in fighting off the attack. Watch as each player does his or her part to take on the enemies, and beat the Imperial Troopers and Imperial Breach Droids.

See how group combat will be a thrilling part of The Old Republic in this Multiplayer Game Play Demo.

Seht selbst, wie jeder Spieler seinen Teil dazu beiträgt, es mit den Feinden aufzunehmen, und besiegt die Imperialen Elitesoldaten und Brecherdroiden.

The Game Testing Agreement that was agreed upon (when signing up for game testing) states:

PERMITTED DISCLOSURES
1. The fact that there is a Game Program.
2. The fact that you are a member of the Game Program.

Outside of that, it is a violation of the agreement to do anything more such as posting images or screen captures of anything related to Game Testing that is private and confidential and not already publicly revealed by The Old Republic team.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the information and it's definitely interesting that people are posting about our Game Testing Program. We don't have anything official to say at this moment but if you have any questions, please check out the Game Testing Program FAQ.

Yes, Sean's "NDA" is part of his job... and I like my job. It allows me to help drive my team to give all of you great content and news and updates and, once the game is out, keep everyone as informed as possible. So, I don't want to violate my "NDA" because it doesn't just mean I'm out of testing, I could be out of a job
On a more serious note, though, while the Game Tester Agreement is full of legalese, the short of it all is that outside of two simple statements, there isn't much of anything that a Tester can say or do outside of the game and any related communication tools provided.

For anyone discussing things that may be questionable; if you can't find the information posted by someone from the TOR Team in a public area (i.e., something you can read without being logged in)... don't quote or discuss it.

For anyone caught violating the rules, they will be notified and depending on the situation, they may be (1) temporarily suspended, they may be (2) removed from any testing, or they may be (3) permanently removed from the service or a combination of the above. Regardless, they will be notified of such actions and any and all relevant information will be documented.

To make it super simple, unless it is something that is public accessible on the website without being logged in and posted by The Old Republic Team and it's not someone simply posting "I'm in Game Testing", it is probably a violation of the Game Testing Agreement.

This includes people who are just reposting and were not directly sent the information from The Old Republic Team.

Cause I think understandably people want to discuss it but is this going to be seen as skating close to the NDA and repeating information that is covered even though its more speculation and not a screen shot.
I'm unsure as to how I can be any more clear. If it is not information publicly available and released by The Old Republic Team or something permitted to be disclosed by the Game Testing Agreement, it is a violation of the agreement.

Users who violate this will be notified and, depending on circumstances, can be removed from the service.

We have seen many questions about the Game Testing Agreement and we want to clarify a few things.
  1. Per the Game Testing Agreement, a user can state there is a Game Testing Program.
  2. Per the Game Testing Agreement, when someone is selected for testing, they can disclose the fact that they are a member of the Game Testing Program.
That is the extent of it and anything else would be a violation of the Game Testing Agreement. Users that are found to post or even repost confidential materials (such as invitations, Game Tester Portal, etc) will be permanently removed from the Game Testing Program and subject to discipline up to and including permanent removal from the service. This is not limited to screenshots of the game but taking "screen grabs" or sharing of confidential documentation and materials.

If you have any questions pertaining to this, ask them here.

E3 2010 has concluded!

It has been a sensational week for The Old Republic at the E3 Press Conference! Thanks to everyone for checking in throughout the week and supporting The Old Republic. It’s inspiring to see the community charged up with excitement for this game. Thanks for all your support!

To wrap up the week, we have two final announcements to share with you.


War Zones

It’s time to defend your allegiance. As the war heats up, heroes are needed on both sides and it's not enough to fight alone. Unite with your allies from all over the galaxy and travel to the War Zones to defend the Republic or the Empire!

War Zones are specifically tailored for team versus team combat, and players will experience fierce battles between the Republic and Empire, evoking memories of the famous Star Wars ground conflicts.

This week we announced that the first War Zone will be located in the majestic mountains of Alderaan. Players will join their allegiance’s fight for control of several important areas. Over time we’ll reveal more information about the Player versus Player experiences in The Old Republic.

Playable Species

The Ratattaki was the first non-human species we announced in The Old Republic and we showed them being played as butt-kicking Bounty Hunters. Today we are revealing that as a stealthy Imperial Agent you can choose to be a Chiss and as a charming Smuggler you can choose to be a Twi’lek. There is more information coming on these, and other, playable species at a later date, so stay tuned to The Old Republic website.

Armor Progression

We know that character progression in a key element of MMOs and part of making a player feel heroic is making them look heroic. Every class has a wide variety of armor and equipment available to them that can be worn in various combinations. We have talked about customization in The Old Republic, but we haven’t really shown what it might look like.

Here you can see a short video that showcases just a few of the thousands of sets of armor and equipment available to you as a Bounty Hunter. The Bounty Hunter’s abilities and equipment increase as the video progresses, showing you how you might look at various stages in your character’s career in The Old Republic.

Grundinfos zu SWTOR:

* Sollte man sterben, landet man auf einer Krankenstation und kann gleich weiter spielen.
* Die maximale Größe einer Gruppe betrug bei ihnen vier Spieler.
* Es gibt Klassen-Trainer, die den "Elite-Status" haben.
* Randquests scheinen nicht Klassen-gebunden zu sein.
* Man verfügt über ein HoloCom und kann darüber auch manchmal Questgeber kontaktieren. Das läuft ähnlich ab, wie in anderen Gesprächen.
* Im Multiplayer kann zwar jedes Gruppenmitglied eine Antwort wählen, jedoch wird gewürfelt, welche Antwortmöglichkeit "gewinnt".
* Es gibt einen Countdown, wenn man mit einer Gruppe eine Unterhaltung mit NPCs beginnt. Ist die Zeit abgelaufen, startet die Unterhaltung mit allen anwesenden Gruppenmitgliedern.
* Es scheint ein Taxi-System zu geben, dass wie in WoW arbeitet. Man zahlt eine kleine Gebühr und gelangt von A nach B.
* Der Charakter-Erstellungs-Bildschirm ähnelt dem von Dragon Age Origins.
* Es gibt eine Aggro-Anzeige, die verschiedene Farben annehmen kann, je nachdem ob man sich in Gefahr befindet oder nicht.
* Beim Abschließen von Quests gibt es manchmal Items, Geld, "Alignment-Points" und Erfahrung.
* Für das Abschließen von Quests in einer Gruppe gibt es "Social-Points".
* Manche Quests sind auch instanziert. Diese Instanzen werden über ein Portal betreten. Sollte das Portal rot sein, kann man die Quest noch nicht erledigen.
* Mittels Rechtsklick werden Items beim Händler verkauft. Charaktere beider Fraktionen erhaltne Credits.
* Spezies scheinen keine Unterschiede bei Emotes zu haben.

Stelle sicher, dass Du keine Sicherheitssoftware laufen hast (Kaspersky, ZoneAlarm, etc.), die eventuell das ausführen von Java-Script und Java-Applets verhindern könnte.

In den Jahren vor der Unterzeichnung des Vertrags von Coruscant versuchte das Sith-Imperium, der Moral der Republik durch die Zerstörung Alderaans einen vernichtenden Schlag beizubringen. Seht euch eine der entscheidenden Schlachten dieses Konflikts in unserem zweiten Filmtrailer "Hoffnung" an.

Quote:
Die Schlacht von Alderaan. Die schwerste Stunde der Republik. Malgus, der gerade erst Darth geworden ist, startet einen der vielen Überraschungsangriffe, die während des Großen Krieges zu seinem Markenzeichen wurden, und stimmt diesen genau mit einem Ablenkungsmanöver ab, das die republikanische Flotte Lichtjahre weit weg bringt. Tausende von Angriffsdroiden und Hunderte von Sith setzen das Herz der Republik in Brand und fegen die wenigen Verteidiger Alderaans mit Leichtigkeit hinfort.

Doch Darth Malgus weiß nicht, dass noch einige kleinere Gruppen republikanischer Soldaten auf Alderaan stationiert sind und dort ihre Wunden heilen oder auf Befehle warten. Diese tapferen Soldaten ziehen sich in die Wälder und Berge zurück und kämpfen von dort aus einen Guerillakrieg gegen Malgus' Einheiten, damit die republikanische Flotte zurückeilen und die Invasion abwenden kann. Da die Zeit knapp wird und die Hauptstadt Alderaans kurz davor ist zu fallen, organisiert der Chaostrupp, die Elite-Sondereinheit der Republik, ein verzweifeltes letztes Aufbäumen gegen die große Übermacht von Malgus' Truppen.
Seht Euch an, wie Star Wars: The Old Republic im neuen Filmtrailer "Hoffnung" zum Leben erweckt wird!

“Hope” Cinematic Trailer Released!

In the years before the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the Sith Empire sought to crush the Republic’s morale by destroying Alderaan. See one of the pivotal battles of this conflict in our second cinematic trailer: Hope.

Recently promoted to Darth, Malgus launches the first of many surprise attacks that would become his trademark during the Great War, perfectly timing the assault with a feint that pulls the Republic fleet light-years away. Thousands of assault droids and hundreds of Sith set the heart of the Republic ablaze, and Alderaan's few defenders are swept away with ease.

Unknown to Darth Malgus, small groups of Republic Troopers are stationed on Alderaan, some recovering from wounds, others are awaiting orders. As these brave soldiers take to the forests and mountains to fight a guerilla campaign against Malgus's forces, the Republic fleet rushes back to repel the invasion. With time running out and Alderaan's capitol threatened, it falls to Havoc Squad, the elite Republic Special Forces unit, to coordinate one last desperate stand against Malgus' vastly superior numbers.

What I would like to do is eliminate color in main forum posts and just allow for color in signature are to reduce eyestrain and confusion with color usage. We'll see if that comes about.

It's not that they are neglected; I'd say just the opposite. Some might say that the Jedi is probably the most iconic role out of all of Star Wars and so we want to ensure that the first time they are seen publicly, they are definitely on the right path.

And while I know some of you dislike it, we really prefer only showing things when they are ready to be shown. Have no worries, the Jedi Knight and the Jedi Consular will definitely be given their time to shine.

News and Announcements -> The Jedi Civil War
Beitrag von RobChestney am 11.06.2010 um 16:18 Uhr

Hey Folks,

Just reading the responses to the Jedi Civil War Timeline, and I thought it would be worth commenting on a few things.

Firstly, the canon for Lucas is that Revan was male and that he followed the light-side ending for KotOR. That said, if you played KotOR, and experienced it differently, please use your imagination to make it work. We really didn't want to spoil anyone's KotOR memories and in fact, in any place we could, we tried to be inconclusive about these things. Ultimately, though, even for TOR it was necessary to come up with something firm about who Revan was and what he did.

Also, there is a glaring error in the timeline in describing the Rakatan technology as being developed 25 centuries ago. It was actually developed 25 millennia ago. We will try to go back and correct that at some point.

Keep in mind, as some other posters have referenced, the timelines are authored by a Jedi Master living 300 years after KotOR. Not all the facts were confirmed by the Jedi, and in some places, he may be wrong about what actually occurred. That goes for all the timelines.

I see a lot of you also asking about KotOR 2, and for that I'd reference a previous post:


Quote:
Originally Posted by RobChestney

Even though KotOR 2 was developed by another developer, lots of folks at BioWare played and enjoyed it, including myself. If you look closely within the game, you will find several references to events or characters from KotOR 2, and we absolutely treat it as canon. I will also say that there have been discussions about the final fate of the Exile, who was indeed a woman according to the canon.

When outlining the Timeline series, though, we skipped over the events of KotOR2 for a few reasons:

(SPOILER ALERT if you haven't played KotOR 2)

Essentially, what happened in KotOR 2 is that a few years after Revan disappeared, a new trinity of Sith Lords materialized and drove the Jedi into hiding. Kreia (aka Darth Traya) sought out the Jedi Exile, and sought to use her as a mechanism for destroying the Force itself. The Exile defeated the Sith Lords, foiled Kreia's plan, and disappeared into deep space searching for Revan. The galaxy was essentially returned to the same state as it was in before the events of KotOR 2.

A few things about this: first, it all happened behind the scenes; the Jedi of the TOR era don't even know what really happened, in fact the only people who ever knew were the Exile and her companions. Second, because the events of KotOR 2 didn't really change the political landscape of the galaxy in any significant way, it's really more of an historical footnote to the Jedi Civil War rather than a major event in its own right.

This is absolutely not to say the story of KotOR 2 wasn't important. Taken in the context of the Timeline series, however, we decided it would be confusing and that the next note in the history of the galaxy should be the Jedi Civil War.

Thanks for all the feedback and interest in the game and in the Timeline videos. You guys remind us of why we're doing all this, so keep it up.

Cheers

News and Announcements -> The Jedi Civil War
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 11.06.2010 um 14:56 Uhr

One of the greatest threats to the Republic preceding the Great War arose approximately three hundred years before when the Sith Lords Darth Revan and Darth Malak began the Jedi Civil War. Jedi Master Gnost-Dural’s historical investigation steps back to this era, and he examines new evidence which reshapes the Order’s understanding of the events surrounding Revan’s fall and his ultimate fate.

Quote:
BTC 303 – Three hundred years before the Sacking of Coruscant, two prominent Jedi Knights pursued enemy forces into Deep Space at the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars. When the two Jedi, Revan and Malak, returned to Republic space, they had fallen to the dark side. As Sith Lords, Revan and Malak began searching the galaxy for a powerful ancient artifact known as the Star Forge. During their dark campaign, however, Malak’s ambitions grew and eventually drove him to betray Revan, sparking the bloody Jedi Civil War. Though Revan was ultimately redeemed and restored peace to the galaxy, he disappeared afterward in search of a great darkness in Deep Space. Through his investigation, Master Gnost-Dural now confirms that this great darkness is the Sith Empire the Jedi Order battles today….

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Der Jedi-Bürgerkrieg
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 11.06.2010 um 14:55 Uhr

Eine der größten Bedrohungen für die Republik vor dem Großen Krieg entstand ungefähr dreihundert Jahre zuvor, als die Sith-Lords Darth Revan und Darth Malak den Jedi-Bürgerkrieg begannen. Jedi-Meister Gnost-Durals historische Untersuchung reicht bis in diese Ära zurück und eröffnet neue Erkenntnisse, die das Verständnis des Ordens, was die Ereignisse um Revans Fall und sein endgültiges Schicksal betrifft, völlig neu prägen werden.
Zitat:
303 VVC – Dreihundert Jahre vor der Plünderung von Coruscant, am Ende der Mandalorianischen Kriege, verfolgten zwei bekannte Jedi-Ritter feindliche Truppen bis tief in den Weltraum. Als die beiden Jedi Revan und Malak wieder in den republikanischen Raum zurückkehrten, waren sie der dunklen Seite verfallen. Als Sith-Lords begannen beide, überall in der Galaxis nach einem mächtigen alten Artefakt zu suchen, das als die Sternenschmiede bekannt war. Im Laufe ihrer dunklen Bestrebungen wurde Malaks Ehrgeiz jedoch immer größer und er verriet schließlich Revan und löste so den Jedi-Bürgerkrieg aus. Revan wurde zwar letztlich gerettet und der Frieden in der Galaxis wiederhergestellt, doch verschwand er kurze Zeit später auf der Suche nach einer großen Dunkelheit im Weltraum. Meister Gnost-Durals Untersuchungen zeigen, dass diese große Dunkelheit das Sith-Imperium war, das heute gegen den Orden der Jedi kämpft … .

Seit meinem Post gestern hat sich die Sachlage nicht verändert. Ich bitte noch einmal darum, Vergleiche mit politischen-ethischen Themen zu unterlassen, die nicht im Star Wars Universum begründet sind. Diese werden von uns entfernt, da sie generell ein Garant dafür sind, das der Thread komplett entgleist.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 10.06.2010 um 11:46 Uhr

Ich musste hier gerade etwas aufräumen. Threads, in denen Gut und Böse zum Thema gemacht werden, sind nicht zum ersten Mal in die Richtung der Vergleiche mit realen Geschehnissen und Personen abgedriftet, was fast immer zu einem ähnlichen Sturm der Entrüstung geführt hat, wie hier. Aus genau diesem Grund erlauben wir keine solche Vergleiche, die sich mit Themen und Ereignissen außerhalb des Star Wars Universums befassen.

Seht deshalb bitte von entsprechenden Vergleichen ab. Danke.

“Hope” Cinematic Trailer Released!
In the years before the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, the Sith Empire sought to crush the Republic’s morale by destroying Alderaan. See one of the pivotal battles of this conflict in our second cinematic trailer: Hope.

Quote:
The Battle of Alderaan. The Republic's gravest hour. Recently promoted to Darth, Malgus launches the first of many surprise attacks that would become his trademark during the Great War, perfectly timing the assault with a feint that pulls the Republic fleet light-years away. Thousands of assault droids and hundreds of Sith set the heart of the Republic ablaze, and Alderaan's few defenders are swept away with ease.

Unknown to Darth Malgus, small groups of Republic Troopers are stationed on Alderaan, some recovering from wounds, others are awaiting orders. As these brave soldiers take to the forests and mountains to fight a guerilla campaign against Malgus's forces, the Republic fleet rushes back to repel the invasion. With time running out and Alderaan's capitol threatened, it falls to Havoc Squad, the elite Republic Special Forces unit, to coordinate one last desperate stand against Malgus' vastly superior numbers.

Solar is correct. As in the Companions section, each class has a completely unique set of Companions. That said, we will not be telling you about each of them right now. Some of them are surprises and might ruin the fun in learning who can and who can't be your companion. The ones we do highlight are generally the companions you will meet early on in your adventures.

And yes, Vette is indeed a companion available for the Sith Warrior.

I've slowly been bring Deb over to the dark side but Rob, Joanne, Alyson, Stephanie, Erick, Brian, and Robin are much more Republic than I (on the on-site team). In fact, most of the Community Representatives are pro-Republic, too (I guess that is only to be expected since we've been crafting a team that is about helping people
For the most part, we like to show both sides of the coin. But sometimes, for one reason or another, we can't always do that simultaneously. But we will definitely do our best to allow both sides to shine and show how awesome they are.

Both the Allegiance and Class polls have shown things to be pretty even at this point. Granted, this is only a segment of the community but it's a good sampling.

We also plan on giving the Republic their moment to shine. I can't get into the exact reasons as to why some things are released before others (and there is a variety of reasons for different assets) but we also have a lot of "Republic" people on the team, too.

So, while the proof will be in the pudding (an expression, we're not actually giving out pudding. Sorry.), the Republic will definitely get their due. And Soon™.

General Discussion -> Peace treaty?
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 26.05.2010 um 17:44 Uhr

Correct on most of the posts. It is indeed closer to a cold war when the game begins. The Treaty of Coruscant is already fraying at the edges, however, and only covers what happens in Republic and Imperial space and an odd few outlying worlds specifically demanded by the Emperor. Much of the rest of the Galaxy is ungoverned and incidents constantly threaten the peace. Many people on both sides believe that it's only a matter of time until there will be no choice except one last, full war.

General Discussion -> ***?!? Is Hoth really called Hoth yet?
Beitrag von DrewKarpyshyn am 25.05.2010 um 21:27 Uhr

Hate to say it, but as far as I know there is no connection between the planet Hoth and General Hoth. Source material indicates that the planet was known and named thousands of years before the General was born, so it obviously wasn’t named for him. I suppose he could have been named for the planet, but there is nothing in his history to indicate any kind of connection.

Of course, I didn’t create the General Hoth character – he first appeared in a series of Dark Horse comics. All I did was flesh him out a bit. However, I suspect the name was originally chosen to be symbolic of his demeanor: cold, grim and harsh.

Interestingly, there *is* a celestial body that was named after the heroic General. The central star in the Ruusan system was renamed Hoth’s Brand in honor of his victories and sacrifices in the war against Lord Kaan’s Brotherhood of Darkness. As to the planet that had its ecosystem changed, that was the world of Ruusan, which is a totally separate world from the famous ice planet of Hoth. And Ruusan’s climate was altered, but it didn’t become an uninhabitable ball of ice. And even though the central star in the Ruusan system was renamed, the planet itself was not.

I realize this doesn’t do much to settle the question at hand, but it’s a moderately relevant segue.

However, one thing I can confirm: the planet Hoth was already called Hoth during the timeline of SWTOR. Hope this helps.

General Discussion -> Character Models & Animation - Likes/dislikes (Part 4)
Beitrag von RobinKhamsi am 23.05.2010 um 19:10 Uhr

Hey Poseidon,

Thanks for the shot-by-shot analysis! I actually took a couple of those shots so I appreciate the feedback! When it comes to body types and character complexions, keep in mind that the game is still in development and you will most likely see each one go through a few more passes before launch.

As for the green-clad bounty hunter, I'm sorry for the gender confusion there! The shot of three hunters lined up clearly depicts a female character, but elsewhere the green armored bounty hunter is actually a smaller male.

And when it comes to lightsaber hilts, with any luck you should be seeing a greater variety in the near future. New assets appear in the game every day!

2) The girl in the green, her legs are akward. The thighs are super long and the calf is so short. The part below the knee looks thinner than the part above. In fact the thighs are a bit "thick" when you compare it to the rest of her body.
3) The character models look different, but they look bad/good depending on what angle you are looking at it. The guy on the far left looks great, but the girl, not so much.

Rattataki
1) The skin is still a bit "plastic" looking, but it is better than it was before
2) The lighting/detail on the armor looks incredible.
3) The upper body is great, proportioned well, just curious to what her lower body looks like.

More Bounty Hunters
1) Again this person in the green armor, her knee area and part below doesn't match the rest of her body, and the huge thighs aren't helping.
2) Isn't she supposed to be a female so why does she look so male-ish when she standing next to the other male. Looking between the two you wouldn't guess the one on the right is a female.

advanced_classes
1) The skin literally looks like plastic.

SW
1) The environment looks great
2) The Juggernaut armor is a bit "gaudy". The shoulder and need details are a bit over the top. That hilt is still TOO BIG. The blade is basically perfect, but again the hilt looks too big for the blade.
2) This pic looks more like an updated KOTOR style, I like it.

SW2
1) This is hands down the best screen shot I've seen yet. The armor is simple yet detailed. The guy's skin doesn't even closely resemble plastic. The mountain in the background wow. Only thing I don't like is that thigh on the right, again, it looks huge.

The Force is strong in this one. Taking place over 3,500 years before the events of the sextet of famous films, "Star Wars: the Old Republic" will give players the choice of joining the Jedi or the Sith in a massively multiplayer online experience. But before you begin practicing the ways of the force in BioWare and LucasArts upcoming game (set for release in 2011), whet your appetite this July with the release of a brand new "Old Republic" limited series from Dark Horse Comics that sets up the events taking place a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

General Discussion -> Leveling is, let's face it, ridiculous...
Beitrag von DamionSchubert am 16.05.2010 um 05:30 Uhr

Quote:

Not to go into the details of what advancement systems we will have or not have inside the game but... this doesn't always work out this rosily, without great designer care. I worked on Meridian 59, which was a wholly skill-based game, and learned a lot about the strengths and pitfalls of systems like it. One of my great pet peeves of pure skill-based systems is that they claim that they are more realistic, but they in fact can create extremely unrealistic situations inside the world.

In the original Everquest, it was not uncommon to see a player throwing himself off a cliff over and over again to improve his safe falling skill, or to see a person macroing some random text gibberish in order to improve his languages. In Meridian 59, players used to park themselves in front of low level monsters and leave the keyboard - they were unlikely to die, and could accumulate defense points in a slow, steady and totally risk-free manor. In Oblivion, the best way to build an assassin character is to hop through fields picking flowers. Jumping improves your Acrobatics (I believe), and the player needs enough flowers to grind up his Poisoning skill.

Sure, each of these could be destupidified with enough designer/programmer time and focus, but then you're coding, QAing and exploit-proofing a different advancement mechanism for every skill in the game. And you'll probably still end up with some silliness somewhere.

I know some people are offended by the idea of do stuff->gain experience->gain level->somehow get better at something completely unrelated. - I know I was too, young in my career when I designed M59. But one of the most important thing for advancement systems is that you get the behavior you incentivize. In a classic XP/Level based system, you are incentivizing your XP-granting behaviors (which in SWTOR is tilted strongly towards questing). In skill-based systems, it is trivially easy to accidentally incentivize really stupid and boring behaviors.
 

General Discussion -> What motivated your primary class selection?
Beitrag von RandyBegel am 14.05.2010 um 23:00 Uhr

There are a lot of class polls on the forums. Most touch on what people's favorite (or least favorite) classes are, but I'd like to take the question a step further and ask why. For instance, is it a desire to stand defiantly against tyranny (story) that draws you to being a Jedi Knight, is it the appeal of flashy lightsaber combat and force acrobatics (gameplay), or perhaps just the aesthetics of being the space knight in shining armor (appearance/vanity)?

Obviously, the number of motivations aside from these basic three are legion, but I think these cover the most likely reasons certain classes appeal to certain people (and I can't have more that 25 options in my already convoluted poll, so blame it on technical limitations if you must!)

So let's hear it, which class will you play and why?

News and Announcements -> Announcing the Advanced Class System!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 14.05.2010 um 17:06 Uhr

Today we are revealing a new area of the website called Game Systems. This area talks about various features from a gamer’s perspective. Our first section in this new area discusses the Advanced Class System.

The Advanced Class System grants you access to unique skills and abilities, and is designed to allow you the flexibility to customize your characters to fit your play style. For example, all Smugglers are lucky, opportunistic swindlers. But, do you want to be the kind of Smuggler that sneaks into the middle of a firefight and quickly blasts away at an opponent from point-blank range? Or do you want to be the kind that keeps to the outskirts of the battle, strategically picking your targets from a distance?

These are just some of the meaningful choices that the Advanced Class System offers you to personalize – and advance – your character in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™!
 

News and Announcements -> Creating Worlds
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 14.05.2010 um 17:06 Uhr

Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson talks about creating the world of Voss in Star Wars: The Old Republic!

Quote:
Welcome to the amazing job of creating worlds. Above are some of the notes I made before discussing Voss with our gifted concept artists and our ambitious world designers. These talented folks enable us to communicate in ideas, themes and feelings as much as in size, directions and numbers. This is the secret of creating real worlds instead of simply play spaces. Most Players will never notice, for instance, that on Korriban statues of non-Sith are always in supplication, literally supporting the Empire on their worn backs. Few people will stop and trace the path of Jedi resettlement of the wilderness on Tython, try to understand exactly where which war stopped in Balmorra or make sense of the twisted politics that have left some parts of Coruscant abandoned and in misery while others bounced back shortly after the invasion. They will, however, hopefully feel the layers of planning and vision that went into the worlds and because of that, subconsciously believe in the reality of the galaxy they are traveling through.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 14.05.2010 um 17:05 Uhr

Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson spricht über die Erschaffung der Welt Voss in STAR WARS: The Old Republic!
Willkommen bei der faszinierenden Aufgabe, Welten zu erschaffen. Die obigen Notizen hatte ich mir gemacht, bevor ich mit unseren begnadeten Konzeptgrafikern und Weltendesignern über Voss gesprochen habe. Diese talentierten Leute ermöglichen es uns, Ideen, Motive und Gefühle mit Größen, Richtungen und Zahlen zu vereinen. Das ist das Geheimnis hinter der Erstellung "wahrer" Welten, die über simple Spielumgebungen hinausgehen. Die meisten Spieler werden wahrscheinlich nie bemerken, dass beispielsweise auf Korriban die Statuen von "Nicht-Sith" immer eine Demutshaltung haben und das Imperium quasi auf ihren geschundenen Rücken tragen. Nur wenige werden innehalten, um den Pfad der Jedi-Neubesiedelung in der Wildnis von Tython zu verfolgen oder zu verstehen, welcher Krieg auf Balmorra wann und wo aufgehört hat, geschweige denn, um die seltsame Politik zu ergründen, die manche Teile von Coruscant dem Elend überlassen und andere schon kurz nach der Invasion wieder neu aufgebaut hat. Doch die Spieler werden hoffentlich erkennen, wie genau die Welten geplant wurden und welche Visionen dahintersteckten, um dann die Galaxis, durch die sie reisen, als glaubwürdig anzunehmen.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Lernt das erweiterte Klassensystem kennen!
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 14.05.2010 um 17:05 Uhr

Heute enthüllen wir einen neuen Bereich der Website - die Spielsysteme. Dort sprechen wir über die verschiedenen Funktionen aus Spielersicht. Unser erster Teil in diesem neuen Bereich dreht sich um das erweiterte Klassensystem.

Das erweiterte Klassensystem ermöglicht euch Zugang zu einzigartigen Fähigkeiten und bietet euch die Flexibilität, euren Charakter eurer Spielweise anzupassen. Schmuggler zum Beispiel sind opportunistische Betrüger, die sich auf ihr Glück verlassen. Aber welche Art von Schmuggler wollt ihr sein? Wollt ihr überraschend inmitten eines Feuergefechts auftauchen und eure Gegner aus nächster Nähe schnell und effektiv erledigen? Oder wollt ihr lieber strategisch vorgehen und eure Ziele aus sicherer Distanz wählen?

Dies sind nur einige der bedeutsamen Wahlmöglichkeiten, die euch das erweiterte Klassensystem bietet, damit ihr euren Charakter in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ anpassen - und entwickeln - könnt!

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 10.05.2010 um 15:13 Uhr

Mit dem Thread gibt es diverse Probleme. Erstmal: Vollkommen falsches Forum, hier sollte es ausschließlich um TOR gehen. Und dann sind wir auch die vollkommen falsche Anlaufstelle für derartige Probleme mit anderen BioWare Produkten, fürchte ich - weswegen der Thread auch verschoben und geschlossen wird.

Ich kann Dir in diesem Fall leider nur empfehlen, Dich an den entsprechenden Support zu wenden.

All good questions, and you're right that "wait and see" is the answer!

It's been a long time since the days of Naga Sadow. Some things are very much the same, other things are quite different. There are reasons for this.

Glad you're enjoying the comic! (And yes, Ulicus, we do occasionally read the theforce.net forums...)

He as talking about the red skin as a hint to her identity as a Sith. It's status as a "myth" could point to the belief that the Sith species is believed to be extinct at this point.

Hey everyone,

I know we don't make these threads very often any more but I wanted to for this week to keep all of you in the loop (as much as possible). We've had four awesome weeks of updates; Timeline 7, VidDoc4, Biographies update, and even launched a new section in the HoloNet: Inhabitants!

This week, we're going to be publishing Blood of the Empire #2. We have a few things in store for all of you before we head off to E3 2010 but this week's update will be the webcomic. And check back next week for our latest Developer Blog.

Hey everyone,

We hope that you have enjoyed the Sarlacc Enforcer class reveal we made on April 1st. We just wanted to confirm that the Sarlacc Enforcer is not going to be a class and that it was just some fun we were having for April Fool’s day this year. We’ve had quite a bit of fun reading all the posts and threads that were created and we sure do hope you’ve had as much fun as we’ve had! While you can no longer post in this section, we are going to leave it viewable so that everyone can enjoy the fun and creativity with the Sarlacc Enforcer class!

Sind denn nun schon Einladungen / Zusagen bzgl. Betatest-Teilnahme rausgegangen, oder ist das definitiv nicht der Fall und man sollte die Kollegen wegen Phishing-Gefahr nochmal warnen ? Soooo geheim dürfte das Verteilen von Beta-Zusagen ja schließlich nicht sein...
Ciao erstmal & bis die Tage !
Wie bereits erwähnt, haben wir eine Betaphase bisher nicht einmal angekündigt. Ich würde Deine Freunde deshalb bitten, diese Mails an unseren E-Mail Support weiterzuleiten, damit wir sie uns näher anschauen können. Eine PM von mir kommt noch
 

General Discussion -> Do you want to be racially discriminated against in TOR?
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 04.05.2010 um 22:29 Uhr

Interesting thread. Yes, racism (speciesism?) is out there in TOR. It rears it head rarely in the multicultural Republic but being exotic in the Empire is an uphill battle to be sure.

Spiele -> Berufe?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 03.05.2010 um 21:49 Uhr

Mit diesem Thread stimmt leider das eine oder andere nicht
Zum einen ist der Thread im falschen Forum. Dieses Forum ist für Diskussionen zu anderen Spielen des Star Wars-Universums gedacht. Er hätte entsprechend im Forum "Allgemeine Diskussion" gepostet werden sollen.

Aufforderungen, wie "BIO WARE Team warte noch auf eure Antwort.
Und abgesehen von diesen zwei Punkten, gibt es bereits einige Themen, in denen der Bereich Crafting / Berufe bereits angeschnitten wurde
In dem Sinne mache ich den Thread hier also dicht. Schau Dich vielleicht noch ein wenig im Forum um - ich bin sicher, dass Du Dich dann schnell zurechtfinden wirst.

Anyway back to the Inhabitants section. I think its fantastic, giving us some background info and some of the creatures we will fight (and maybe befriend). Brings the whole thing too life.

 

Trooper -> Trooper: Who inspired you?
Beitrag von CharlesBoyd am 01.05.2010 um 03:26 Uhr

For me, there are really too many inspirations and characters to name. Movies, books, games; there are military stories going back as far as stories exist, so there's obviously something to them that resonates. Certainly the vets I've had the pleasure to know personally are a huge inspiration as well.

If we just limit it to Star Wars, and what I can think of off the top of my head:
  • Fordo and the Muunilinst 10, definitely. (I even have four of them on my desk!) Totally cool, totally professional every single second they're on screen.
  • Kyle Katarn, especially in Dark Forces. No need to say more.
  • The huge cast of characters from Karen Traviss's books, of course.
  • The Rebel pilots in A New Hope, as well. They always felt like real guys with their own personalities going up against this impossible situation, and that always really stuck with me.

Just to clarify, the "title" of the article is just following a normal format for article titles. Later within the article, it says "And while we understand there is thirst for knowledge of the dark lord’s past".

His biography entry goes a little more into what he's been up to recently, too. But to be clear, he is just a "dark lord of the Sith", not THE Dark Lord (Ruler) of the Sith.

The Emperor is the ruler of the Sith. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

Beitrag von DanielErickson am 30.04.2010 um 23:00 Uhr

Although I like the idea of us making scrubby vids on purpose the truth is that, until very recently, few of our custom weapon models were in game. As always we don't show anything, including concept art, until we're pretty darn sure it's going in. That doesn't mean it'll get in days after the concept art is done, however. So yes, tons of awesome hilts going into game. No, there aren't a ton in there today. There are a ton of amazing class specific armor sets appearing every day, though, and as you might expect the quality and quantity of the art you'll see in the last months headed to ship will dwarf the amount seen in all the time before.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 27.04.2010 um 14:12 Uhr

Zeitüberschreitungen werden selten von der Seite verursacht, die man aufrufen möchte, sondern von einer der Stellen, die auf dem Weg dahin angesprochen werden. Das kann an dem Routing Deines Internetanbieters liegen, am Ausbau eines Netzknotens, usw. usf.

Das Problem dabei ist - wenn es nur sporadisch, und nicht dauerhaft auftritt, kann man auch nur selten mit einer traceroute oder ähnlichem feststellen, wo es liegt.

Wenn dieses Problem länger auftritt (5-30 Minuten), dann versuche mal folgendes:

Kommandozeile ausführen (WinXP: Start -> Ausführen -> CMD, Win7 Start -> CMD in das Suchfeld eingeben, Enter)

In der Kommandozeile folgendes eingeben:
tracert swtor.com

Und das, was dabei rauskommt, dann hier posten, zusammen mit Deinem Internetanbieter. Bei solchen Problemen werden wir Dir nicht helfen können, aber vielleicht finden sich andere User mit ähnlichen Erfahrungen.

Das hier noch niemand Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, FLCL, Ergo Proxy oder Dennō Coil erwähnt hat, finde ich bedenklich... o.o

Ansonsten, wie hier auch schon mehrfach erwähnt:
One Piece (Manga > Anime)
Bleach (Manga > Anime)
Naruto (Manga > Anime)
Soul Eater (Manga > Anime, da der Anime deutlich zu früh endete)
My HiME (Anime)
X'amd (Anime)


Ich denke mal das Klassiker, wie Akira, die Studio Ghibli Filme usw., nicht extra erwähnt werden müssen

News and Announcements -> Blood of the Empire Released!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 23.04.2010 um 17:03 Uhr

The first issue of Blood of the Empire™ takes us to a galaxy engaged in war. The Sith Empire strikes blow after blow against a Republic reeling from the return of its ancient enemies, and the Jedi scramble to defend their holdings. But Imperial victory is far from certain…

Teneb Kel, a fiercely clever young man apprenticed as a Sith, is selected by his masters for a secret mission--a mission concerning the Emperor himself and a threat to the Dark Lord’s thousand-year plan. Doomed if he fails, expendable if he succeeds, Teneb must unravel the schemes at work around him if he is to seize control of his destiny and alter the course of history.

Check out the first issue written by Alexander Freed, illustrated by Dave Ross, inked by Mark McKenna, colored by Michael Atiyeh, and lettered by Michael Heisler!

Grundsätzlich ist es immer angenehm, wenn man sieht, dass hier auch hitzige Debatten gut geführt werden können. Leider neigt der eine oder andere aber immer noch dazu, an empfindlichen Stellen einmal zuviel nachzusetzen. Das wirkt am Anfang nicht schlimm, man piekst etwas zurück, und irgendwann steht man dann Rücken an Rücken, mit gezogener Waffe zum Duell. Der eine oder andere hat inzwischen raus, wann er sich eventuell etwas zurücknehmen sollte

Mit eurer letzten verbleibenden Kraft werft ihr schnell ein Schnitzel in die Pfanne und setzt euch mit einem Bier vor die Glotze. Um 22 Uhr entscheidet ihr euch nochmal kurz die Emails zu checken. Zwischen diversen Angeboten bezüglich Potenzpillen und 10 Kilo abnehmen in 2 Wochen, pingt plötzlich eine Email auf:

Bioware: Ihr seid für den Betatest ausgesucht.

Euer Code lautet: 1223-X2DD-244S-87GDF
Ihr könnt den Clienten unter folgenden Link Downloaden:

Ihr fangt an zu schwitzen, sollte es wirklich war sein? Ihr und Betainvite?

Was würdet ihr machen? Würdet ihr der Einladung folgen, den Clienten runterladen und Cheffe anrufen und ihm sagen ihr kommt aufgrund eines Traumas die nächsten 2 Wochen nicht zur Arbeit, oder würdet ihr das Angebot lieber ablehnen und euch um so mehr auf den Release freuen?

Mein alter Atari 2600 reichte sogar noch etwas weiter zurück, mit Pit Fall und diversen anderen...

News and Announcements -> Alyssa Gobelle Interview [The Holonet Project]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 17.04.2010 um 00:34 Uhr

The HoloNet Project recently had a chance to ask Alyssa Gobelle, a Web Designer for Star Wars: The Old Republic a few questions about the HoloNet section of the official website.

Quote:
Masamunex: I have to say, being a fan of all things Star Wars lore I was extremely surprised, obviously in a good way, to see to what extent the Aurebesh was used within the HoloNet. Whose idea and decision was it to sneak the Aurebesh into the HoloNet?

Alyssa: When they first brought me on, our first major task was to design the HoloNet. We wanted the HoloNet's voice to be as much 'within the lore of the game' as possible so we planned to add some generic Aurebesh to start. But we also wanted to add some hidden teases and notes for you guys to devour and ponder upon and play with. Give some more fuel to the speculation festivities.

Was there some change in the Jedi code that allowed for marriage and children after the Civil War? And was it changed back sometime later? I mean, I could theorize that the whole Revan/Bastilla thing caused a reform for a few hundred years, which was then revoked when it was discovered that there were entire families of infiltrators spanning several generations, but that's just speculation.

Am I really the only one concerned with this, or has BioWare already explained it away somewhere?
How rare that I see a question I'm allowed to answer!

Following the decimation of the Jedi Order as revealed in Knights of the Old Republic 2, the Jedi were forced to bend and rethink many of their restrictions in order to rebuild. There is no denying that Force sensitivity can run strongly in particular bloodlines and so for a brief period of history it was allowable to romance, marry and have children much like anyone else. After a series of horrific feuds and padawans lost to the dark side in the following century, however, the Jedi once again tightened their rules. In the time of The Old Republic it is permissible to have children and even to marry within the order but only with direct permission from the Jedi Council. To be granted permission the Jedi must prove a perfect detachment and serenity, basically that he or she does not care more about their prospective spouse or parent of their child than they do about any other Jedi. Permission is very rarely granted but the rule has become something of a release valve, both relaxing the order from the oppression of earlier years and often bringing budding romances to the surface so they can be dealt with by Jedi Masters.
 

News and Announcements -> Peace for the Republic?
Beitrag von RobChestney am 16.04.2010 um 20:29 Uhr

Hey Folks, always nice to see the healthy debate sparked by the Timeline pieces. I love Star Wars history and particularly anything relating to KotOR. Even though KotOR 2 was developed by another developer, lots of folks at BioWare played and enjoyed it, including myself. If you look closely within the game, you will find several references to events or characters from KotOR 2, and we absolutely treat it as canon. I will also say that there have been discussions about the final fate of the Exile, who was indeed a woman according to the canon.

When outlining the Timeline series, though, we skipped over the events of KotOR2 for a few reasons:

(SPOILER ALERT if you haven't played KotOR 2)

Essentially, what happened in KotOR 2 is that a few years after Revan disappeared, a new trinity of Sith Lords materialized and drove the Jedi into hiding. Kreia (aka Darth Traya) sought out the Jedi Exile, and sought to use her as a mechanism for destroying the Force itself. The Exile defeated the Sith Lords, foiled Kreia's plan, and disappeared into deep space searching for Revan. The galaxy was essentially returned to the same state as it was in before the events of KotOR 2.

A few things about this: first, it all happened behind the scenes; the Jedi of the TOR era don't even know what really happened, in fact the only people who ever knew were the Exile and her companions. Second, because the events of KotOR 2 didn't really change the political landscape of the galaxy in any significant way, it's really more of an historical footnote to the Jedi Civil War rather than a major event in its own right.

This is absolutely not to say the story of KotOR 2 wasn't important. Taken in the context of the Timeline series, however, we decided it would be confusing and that the next note in the history of the galaxy should be the Jedi Civil War.

Thanks for all the feedback and interest in the game and in the Timeline videos. You guys remind us of why we're doing all this, so keep it up.

Cheers

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Frieden für die Republik?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 16.04.2010 um 16:56 Uhr

Die Jahrhunderte vor dem Großen Krieg werden als eines der friedlichsten Zeitalter in der Geschichte der Republik angesehen. Als er jedoch tiefer gräbt, entdeckt Meister Gnost-Dural neue Beweise dafür, dass das Sith-Imperium wohl schon damals einen dunklen Einfluss auf die Republik hatte. Die wichtigste Entdeckung von Gnost-Dural ist ein historischer Vorfall, der vermuten lässt, dass ein Sith-Lord schon Jahrzehnte vor Ausbruch des Großen Krieges die Jedi manipuliert hat.
103 VVC - Mehr als ein Jahrhundert vor der Plünderung von Coruscant begaben sich zwei Jedi-Gelehrte auf eine Reise, die zu einem der größten Geheimnisse dieser Zeit wurde. Der junge Jedi-Ritter Eison Gynt begleitete seinen Meister bei einer Mission, um die alten Sith-Tempel auf Yavin 4 zu untersuchen. Auf Yavin wurden die zwei von den einheimischen Massassi angegriffen und in das Grab von Naga Sadow zurückgedrängt, das in eine starke Aura der dunklen Seite gehüllt war. Verwundet und halb wahnsinnig kehrte Gynts Meister nach Coruscant zurück und war voller Reue über den Tod des jungen Gynt, der im Chaos auf Yavin ums Leben kam. Jahre später tauchte Gynt jedoch plötzlich auf und griff seinen ehemaligen Meister an. Gynt kam ums Leben und alle gingen davon aus, dass er von der Dunkelheit auf Yavin 4 verdorben worden war und auf Coruscant Rache üben wollte. Die Wahrheit, die Gnost-Dural schließlich entdeckte, war jedoch weitaus schlimmer.

News and Announcements -> Peace for the Republic?
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 16.04.2010 um 16:55 Uhr

The centuries immediately preceding the Great War were thought to be one of the most peaceful eras in Republic history. As he dives deeper into the galaxy’s history, Master Gnost-Dural discovers new evidence that suggests the dark influence of the Sith Empire was seeping into the Republic even then. Gnost-Dural’s latest report isolates one historical incident which suggests there was a Sith Lord pulling strings within the ranks of the Jedi decades before the war even began.

BTC 103 – More than a century before the Sacking of Coruscant, two Jedi scholars embarked on a journey which became one of most inexplicable mysteries of its time. Young Jedi Knight Eison Gynt joined his Master in a mission to investigate the Ancient Sith Temple of Yavin 4. On Yavin, the pair was attacked by the native Massassi and driven into the Tomb of Naga Sadow where a powerful force of darkness emerged. Gynt’s Master returned to Coruscant wounded and half-insane, remorseful that young Eison Gynt had been killed in the chaos. Years later, however, Gynt returned from Yavin on his own and attacked his former Master. Gynt was killed and all assumed that he had been tainted by the darkness on Yavin 4 and returned to Coruscant for revenge. Nonetheless, the truth, as Master Gnost-Dural has discovered, may have been far more sinister.

Some users may need to edit it, others may need to just "edit" it without changing the data (and then just hit save) and it should update your account.

Principal Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert talks about designing systems for a MMORPG!
Quote:
Massively multiplayer games are not new. The first true massively multiplayer game was a text-only virtual world called MUD, put together by Richard Bartle and Roy Trubshaw in 1978. This little window of dizzying text descriptions was a far cry visually from the seductively lush 3D virtual worlds of today, but it was enough. Enough to get the genre started, and enough to get armchair designers across the world to imagine the possibilities, and debate philosophical matters of game design. One of these questions, still asked today, is whether or not massively multiplayer environments should strive to be games or to be worlds.

Es reichte, um ein neues Genre zu starten, und es reichte auch, damit sich Designer rings um den Globus unzählige neue Möglichkeiten überlegen und die Philosophie des Spieldesigns zu diskutieren. Eine Frage, die man sich auch heute noch stellt, ist die, ob MMO-Spielwelten eher Spiel oder eher Welten sein sollten.

News and Announcements -> STAR WARS: The Old Republic Exclusive Q&A - The Sarlacc Enforcer [GameSpot]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 01.04.2010 um 21:13 Uhr

GameSpot proudly, and exclusively, reveals the final new playable character class in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Quote:
Star Wars: The Old Republic is the highly anticipated massively multiplayer game from publisher LucasArts and Knights of the Old Republic developer BioWare. In addition to offering an exciting, story-driven experience that incorporates a branching multiplayer dialogue system, light side and dark side points, and more Jedi and Sith than you can shake a lightsaber at, the game will offer an entirely unique experience for each playable character class. And the most unique class in the game (or one of the most unique, anyway) will be the newly revealed Sarlacc enforcer--a profession based on the infamous Sarlacc pit monster that first appeared in the Return of the Jedi motion picture. However, rather than simply act as a static trap that gobbles up any hapless guards that happen to tumble into them, Sarlacc enforcers will actually play a crucial role in the seedy underbelly of The Old Republic's universe, working with Hutt gangsters and bounty hunters to affect the game's political landscape. Lead writer Daniel Erickson and Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert explain.

Sith Inquisitor -> "Darth Maul Path" Update- Direct dev quote added
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 31.03.2010 um 16:27 Uhr

Hey guys,

Hate to jump in here but it seems to bear repeating that everyone should discuss this topic civilly and respect each others opinions (last I checked, there are no TOR Developers debating in this thread *wink*). Please debate the topic, not berate each other and realize that the game isn't out yet. Things are always subject to change through design, implementation, testing, testing, and even more testing.

<Broken record, I know> This is one of the reasons we don't go too deep into information at this moment. When we do give you information we want to make sure its as accurate as possible for when you get your hands on The Old Republic. The only information we've released on the Sith Inquisitor can be found in the HoloNet at this point.

So please everyone, let's not make this into some fanatical argument. Keep things civil and realize at the end of the day, people are allowed to have their own opinion and sometimes no matter what you tell them, that opinion won't change.

News and Announcements -> Smuggler’s Vanguard on StarWars.com!
Beitrag von RobChestney am 30.03.2010 um 22:18 Uhr

Thanks for all the encouraging feedback. I'm glad to see people like Hylo as much as I do. She's definitely become one of my favorite characters, and I hope to tell more of her story as time goes on. I'll be honest and say she's not one of the most prominent characters in the game (for that, see 'Biographies'), but part of what brings the Old Republic to life is that the writing team has fleshed out the back-stories of hundreds (if not thousands) of characters who will appear in the game, and taking even the minor characters to a high-level of detail is part of what we think makes a great BioWare story.

I like the healthy debate over whether it was realistic that Hylo managed to get the best of the Jedi. Though this certainly isn't an example of how they would do so in the game (i.e. a move called 'Helmet Slam'), the dynamic is accurate. Jedi (and Sith) are not immortal, and they're not categorically superior fighters. In terms of going toe-to-toe in melee, sure, they are tops, but when hammered from range with a barrage of the latest technologies, or when caught by surprise, they are at just as much of a disadvantage as anyone else would be. This Jedi was, of course, preoccupied, and there were other extenuating circumstances which may be explored in future stories. I'll say this as well, I'm a fan of the Jedi. I spent most of my time on the game working on the Jedi Knight Class, and Jedi is definitely my first choice when I play. I don't think being the best warrior in the galaxy is what makes the Jedi fun or cool. For me, it's much more about playing the character--a person who can tap into the mysterious energy that powers the galaxy, who spends years in training to discipline mind and body, and who then dedicates their life to the service of the greater good. Then it becomes about the struggle, both external and internal, against the dark side. How does a Jedi react when faced with the moral confusion of reality? How does a Jedi react when faced with imminent defeat? How does a Jedi react when he gets knocked unconscious by a young, petite alien girl who works as a freelance freighter pilot? That's one I might like to address in the future.

As to whether there are allusions in 'Smuggler's Vanguard' to aspects of the game that have not yet been announced... I can't comment except to say that the setting and themes of the Old Republic were conceived in the context of developing a game. As far as the stuff that I write, you can always count on it being grounded in that spirit. Though the action in a short story shouldn't mirror the action in a video game, the characters' motivations and the conflicts that arise are similar to what the Player's experience in TOR will be.

I know some of you folks are anxious to hear more direct news about gameplay in TOR, and all I can say is that some pretty significant reveals are in the works, so you won't have to wait forever.

We don't have an official announcement on this subject now but I will say one thing. The global community that has grown around The Old Republic is very important to us. We are officially supporting the English, French, and German languages and with very few exceptions, we haven't posted an update until it is ready for the whole community (even if we have to hold an update until it is fully localized). It goes live in English, French, and German simultaneously, even to include when we post it in the forums.

Funny thread. I have actually done some VO work before, minor sports stuff from back when I was with EA in Canada and they needed some American noise. On the Old Republic, however, we look for that elusive quality it was always clear I lacked back when I did acting in college. What was it called again? Oh yes, "talent".

General Discussion -> The Importance of Not Giving Us the Updates We Want
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 29.03.2010 um 21:24 Uhr

Quote:
Originally Posted by smurftube
Yesterday, while reading through some threads concerning the Friday update about NPC Biographies, I saw several negative posts. They pretty much expressed dissatisfaction with having more story related updates when the general desire is for something more substantial to the other 90% of the game. Forum members want some solid information about several aspects of the game. There have been requests for information more times than I can count on everything from talent trees, PVP gear, raid mechanics, class gear limitations, secondary skills, crafting systems, space combat, space exploration, player housing, arenas, battlegrounds, mini-games and the list goes on and on and on. In fact the number is probably so high that it would take me from now to launch day just to read them all.

I get that people want to know what's going on with The Old Republic. Believe me, I doubt anyone here on these forums wants to know the skinny more than I do. But the reality is that Bioware is doing us, the community, a big favor by not giving us the updates we want. Anything they reveal to the public about how the game works, they have to commit to. If they announce game systems that later don't work or make the final cut, then a negative image of the company is projected. And in order to deliver a quality product their public image has to remain positive. If consumer confidence drops then the finances for the project could be jeopardized. First impressions are crucial for success in just about anything.

Take the Special Edition of E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial; many people didn't like some of the changes made, but if people had never experienced the Original Version of the film, would anyone really have anything to complain about? The complaints are masked in contempt over the changes. But honestly, if the Special Edition was the only version of the film seen by audiences, would they really feel any differently about it than they did when they first experienced the film in 1982? The real disconnect has more to do with first impressions being trampled on than the quality of the altered version. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating a revisionist revolution in film or anything else, despite my feeling that the 2002 version of E.T. is a better film. In fact, my argument is very much in opposition to revisionism. It's better to keep the audience in the dark until a single version is ready for viewing. And if revisionism is to be the new trend with filmmakers, then artists should atleast minimize those altered versions to as few public exposures as possible until the revised version is unquestionably better than the original.

Safeguarding the core combat mechanics in both the PVE and PVP experience is paramount for delivering a solid product, especially in an MMO. One of the common failures that MMO's end up bearing is lack of class and game balance. It is easily the most difficult aspect of the MMO genre to do right. In fact I would go so far as to say that there has never been an MMO sporting a fully balanced combat game. The longer we are kept in the dark with regard to combat and balance, the better chances we have of seeing a system done right. If they spill the beans now, they might have to alter a system that we as a community have grown to love. Imagine if the cover system had to be scrapped now that we know about it. Would anyone really forgive them? The fact that they have announced the first cover system in an MMO gives us confidence that it is a part of the finished product because they told us from the very beginning that they don't want to announce anything until it's locked down. If there was doubt about the survival of a cover system, it would have been better not to have announced it. This way no one in the public feels they have lost anything. I'm willing to bet that most of us here would gasp at the sheer number of ideas that have been scrapped since the inspiration for The Old Republic saw the light of day.

I think a lot of TOR's systems will get announced once the bulk of feedback from game testing during Beta phase is processed and addressed. Still though, I don't mind if none of these core system designs are announced until the game hits the shelves of retail stores. If the developers have the freedom to tweak things until the very last minute, without the fear of community backlash over broken promises, then we have a much greater chance of being offered a quality, balanced, fully immersive and detailed game experience.
Great post, smurftube. We get no satisfaction out of not telling our community about elements of The Old Republic... in fact, the team would love to talk more about the game. But, the fact of the matter is we've all seen what has happened when something is announced and then drastically changed before release. Anyone who's followed MMOs before can probably think of a few examples.

What we're doing instead is waiting till things are fairly solid and then giving you information about the systems then. We've already stated that the game is not mostly instanced, that we will have PvP, economy systems, etc. What everyone wants is the specifics, though. And when we get to the right point, we'll share them with everyone. In the meanwhile, we ask that everyone bear with us until we get to that point.

Hylo Visz, the daring Mirialan pilot who broke the Mandalorian Blockade, is the protagonist in a new short story published on StarWars.com. Written by BioWare’s Robert Chestney, ‘Smuggler’s Vanguard’ tells a story from Hylo’s past, when she was contracting on a high profile job for the Hutt crime cartel. Caught between two of the Hutts’ most brutish goons and a suspicious Corellian corporation, Hylo is forced to rely on her instincts and her luck to squirm out of a difficult situation and find a way to profit against the odds.

A couple of quick answers:
  • Yes, it is indeed called the Game Testing Program and not anything else. As when we originally announced sign-ups, Game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be rolled out in several phases over an extended period of time. These test phases will begin with smaller, tightly focused test groups, and later tests will expand.
  • We thought about waiting until it hit 2,000 posts but figured it was more important to get the information to you sooner than wait.
  • Good insight, Skyewauker.
  • In regards to swtor.bioware.com, just know that we'll always keep the TOR Community updated here
  • I would have posted the announcement sooner but I spent too much time working on this (not really).

You have indeed found the login portal for Game Testing. That said, this is not a new page and we are not ready to make any additional announcements about our Game Testing Program. When we are ready, we will make sure The Old Republic Community is the first to know!

General Discussion -> Why do you have to be 18 to play beta?
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 23.03.2010 um 22:20 Uhr

The reason that we require participants in this phase of game testing to be at least 18 years old is because there is an accompanying legal agreement that goes along with signing up. In order to legitimately accept this agreement, you have to be a legal adult.

We don't do this to exclude any potential candidates, and apologize for any disappointment that this may have caused any of our users who are not yet 18 years old.

I would like to point out that Game Testing isn't a one-time even but rather an ongoing process, with many stages and chances to be selected. Also, if our requirements for signing up for any of the future phases of testing change, we will be sure to make sure the Community is made aware!

General Discussion -> The Sith might be the good guys!
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 23.03.2010 um 03:01 Uhr

An interesting thread. I always like to see what responses the philosophical discussions provoke. Hopefully people noticed that there were no quotes from me saying the Sith were good--even the interviewer ended on it being an excuse to unleash one’s hate. It was a clever title masking a more complex truth, which is that morality is shaped by culture and people. Genocide, slavery, human sacrifice and more horrific wars against people who have different beliefs than can be easily counted have all been part of the human experience and to my knowledge not one culture has ever stood up and said “We’re doing this because we’re terrible people.”

If you were raised in a culture that believed that an all-knowing god chose one man to rule over all others and passed that right through their bloodline, it would not seem odd, evil or tyrannical to you that there was, in fact, a king who fulfilled that role. Similarly if you were raised to think an entire group of people were marked as superior by their abilities (the Force in the case of the Empire) as to be above the law in the same way it would seem as natural as the aristocracy did for thousands of years of human history. If you were one of those privileged people and were taught to embrace your most base emotions, to take whatever you could grab by strength of arms or scheme and wit, that it was your ambition and lack of restraint that brought you freedom and purity…

You see where I’m going with this. It’s important to realize that while no amount of a dark side embracing Sith justifying himself to us (if for some reason you could get one to deign to do so) would convince us that he was a good person (he is after all pro-hate and pro-murder along with being anti-restraint), he does not see himself through our filter or he could not be who he is. Nor does the Empire as a whole see itself as the Republic sees it. If it did any stories told from that side would lack depth or compelling drama. “So, Darth Evil, it seems like we’re in the wrong here…” “Yes, Admiral. We are. We’re very bad people. My mother is extremely disappointed in me.”

Storytelling is about conflict and the conflict between ideologies and cultural perspective gives us some of the richest material to work from.

General Discussion -> XP gain in groups
Beitrag von DamionSchubert am 20.03.2010 um 02:10 Uhr

We increase the XP pool for each group member in it, and then divide that pool. I don't have the number in front of me, but its something we'll be tweaking as we play anyway.

The general gist is that we want to reward grouping, but not so much that grouping is the only way to play the game (something that is very easy to do if you tilt the table too much, and then balance the levelling curve to that rate gain). That being said, as some have mentioned, grouping with another person increases your killing efficiency and reduces your risk of death substantially, to the degree that being in a group of two is vastly more efficient than 2X killing efficiency (this is like most MMOs). Still, you want to reward grouping enough to help ensure that you overcome the friction associated with grouping (finding groupmates, getting to them, tolerating idiots, etc).

Other notes:
  • Yes, we have anti-twink measures. Yes, high level players get shut out if they kill creatures too far below them. This is a fine line - you want to let high level players help their new friends, but you really don't want high level players hunting in low level areas, as that can be disruptive to the lowbies.
  • Yes, compared to other MMOs, we give you more XP for completing quests and less for killing creatures. These numbers will also likely be continually tweaked.
  • Yes, harder things give more experience.

no one gets screwed, no one is forced to group and everyone is happy.
Balancing it's not that easy. Instead, you need to look at XP gain per hour. A group of 3 can kill (let's say) 5X the creatures than a solo player can in an hour, which means that if you give everyone the full XP value, grouping is 5X(!) more efficient than soloing. If you balance the curve to that, the solo player gets screwed.

In our curve, we push that towards being closer to 2-3X. Still a significant advantage, but the grouper has to deal with all of the inertia of forming a group.

We tried it with the exact text. The problem is, once you VO the character, it becomes extremely repetitive - you read the line, and then you hear it. Given player VO, the wheel just plays a lot better.

General Discussion -> Writers: where are the kid and the old guy?
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 15.03.2010 um 03:54 Uhr

Interesting thread. Important to note that the degree is not, in fact, mandatory but then you really need the work experience to even it out. Unless you're just mind bogglingly brilliant in your application module, of course. In fact one of our most accomplished senior writers is degreeless, choosing to go straight to work in the dreaded real world. As far as age, we run the gamut. We've got people right out of school and we have people with decades of experience. I care about two things: Can you write great interactive fiction and would you meld with my team. Having at various times been a producer and lead designer in my previous lives I have to say that finding the unique skills and creativity needed for BioWare writers has been the hardest hiring challenge of my career so the last thing we'd do is turn away some amazing talent because they weren't carrying the right piece of paper.

That is one of the reasons we created Blood of the Empire. There isn't a lot known about the Sith Empire due to them because they haven't been a part of the galaxy's history records since the Great Hyperspace War. This series will give the readers more insight into their culture and why the Sith are who they are today.

I have a feeling that Blood of the Empire will also take place over three acts, leading up to a published TPB - and then perhaps a new webcomic series to complete the trilogy (perhaps called "Blade of the Republic" or something??).
Interesting idea...

That is correct; we haven't stated when exactly the prison was created... only that it was constructed by the Rakatan Empire (or Infinite Empire) which means it would be a good guesstimate to think it was crafted between 31,000 BTC and 21,000 BTC.

We do our best to stick with a semi-transparent schedule but most of that also depends on the development team. We do our best to ensure that anything we put on the site is information that won't have to change too much (if at all) before we launch the game. We don't want to put up something on the site that we "think" will be in the game only to be removed or re-prioritized till later because it gives the community the wrong expectations. So, before we think about releasing anything, we check with the rest of the team to ensure they are confident on the state of it and then do our best to capture their work in an interesting way, get it all approved, translated (remember, we do our best to release everything simultaneously to our entire community in English, French, and German), and then out to the community.

This all depends on what you consider "new info". A lot of people love the planet updates, Timelines, Developer Dispatches, etc. Others want more details on game mechanics (understandably); they want to hear more about character creation and development and a variety of other unanswered questions. And the answers will be coming but like I said above, we will only be releasing it when the entire team is confident on the information we are releasing. And when we do, we'll make sure everyone knows about it; social network updates, newsletters, etc.

One of the things you have to keep in mind is the state of the galaxy. If you've been following the archives of Master Gnost-Dural, the Threat of Peace, or the Sacking of Coruscant, you'll know that the Galactic Republic was in a bad spot. The Republic was essentially strong-armed into the Treaty of Coruscant. This wasn't a war the Republic even saw coming and something the Sith Empire has been staging for a long time. When your enemy has had the time to study your defenses, to tamper with your politics, and attack en masse when you didn't even know you were going to be in a war... it quickly puts you on the defense.

While there were no panels this year specifically related to The Old Republic during Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2010, there are a few panels that consisted of BioWare developers.

There was also an off-site event specifically for The Old Republic that various press and fan sites were invited to. None of this information will show up till early next week so keep your eyes peeled for that.

We will be updating the list in this post as more articles and threads appear and we plan on having a wrap-up article next Friday.

That said, that was tweeted on my personal account and not the official TOR twitter account so don't read too much into it. If it was something big, we'd definitely make mention of it in the latter and not just on my account.

In Dragon Age: Origins, when you go to the mountain hideout place to find Andraste's Ashes. You are given the choice of helping the cultists or simply killing them and their leader; helping them is considered evil, to the point that a couple of your party members will desert you there and then for doing so, but thier leader is actually a pretty tough fight for someone who is un-experienced or on a tough setting. So naturally I wanted to try and 'pay lip-service' to him, ie/ agree to help him but then in the end just stab him in the back becuase he is a complete maniac.

Unfortunenatly thats not possible, and by attempting to do so I pissed off alot of my team majorly, this was on my first playthrough of course and I didnt realize that to actually tell a lie there had ato be a huge (LIE) next to the conversation option. Would be nice to see something less cut and dry for TOR; without over complicating the whole thing of course.

In general I was pleased with the flexibility DA:O gave me in being duplicitous and Andraste's Ashes struck me as one of the places where it seemed to work really well. I hadn't realized the degree to which having a persuasive character affected things until then.

I can't count the number of times I had to tell Alistair "Just trust me on this!" or Morrigan "By that logic why don't I just [do X horrible] thing to you and see if you feel the same way." I didn't have Morrigan in my party at the time, so perhaps this is a choice where even a smooth talker would not be able to circumvent the problem.

I agree wholeheartedly with intentions being the measure of moral alignment under normal circumstances, but incorporating it into a video game complicates matters greatly.

Since a game is finite we have to narrow down what would normally be a near infinite number of approaches to any given situation to only a few. Within these limits it's our job to pick a range of options that gives the player enough diversity to role-play and we have to communicate as clearly as possible what those options are so the player isn't unpleasantly surprised because a choice isn't quite what they thought it would be. In that sense we have to assume that when the player selects an option they are doing so "in earnest," playing at face value, because it's impossible for a designer to know the player's intention for selecting any given option.

The tricky part is trying to then add additional layers of intent onto the same choice. For example, if I accost the player with a group of thugs working for a local crimeboss, and those thugs indicate that the player can avoid an unpleasant demise if the player agrees to poison a close associate. A player might agree to the task only as lip service to get out of a fight, without ever intending to follow through on it. It's up to me to either make it 100% clear that by choosing that option you fully intend to poison your friend, or I need to account for your deception and present other options later.

Because choices can be ambiguous it's best to try and assign points on the alignment scale based on action rather than intent. In the above example, the player shouldn't get darkside points until they reach the point of no return, in this case going through with the poisoning.

This obviously, doesn't address everyone's concerns, but I hope it'll reassure everyone that we're doing our best to avoid hanging you out to dry with a bad decision.

Quote:
"For me, the challenge – and the fun – of writing the Jedi Consular is keeping a sense of balance between intelligence and arrogance, between what’s right and what could win the war against the Empire. A Jedi Consular must sometimes accept the grayer path, the less perfect choice. He or she must make the decisions the Republic can’t, in order to save it."

Quote:
“Für mich bestand die Herausforderung - und der Spaß - bei der Erschaffung des Jedi-Botschafters darin, ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Intelligenz und Arroganz zu wahren - zwischen dem, was richtig ist und was den Sieg über das Imperium bringen könnte. Ein Jedi-Botschafter muss manchmal einen Pfad beschreiten, der in einer Grauzone liegt und nicht die perfekte Wahl darstellt. Um die Republik zu retten, muss er oder sie die Entscheidungen treffen, die die Republik nicht treffen kann.”

General Discussion -> Will I be lost if I never played KOTOR?
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 26.02.2010 um 21:24 Uhr

You absolutely will not have had to play KOTOR to understand The Old Republic. Even for fans of the series the last KOTOR game was years ago so it would be silly for us to expect people to have an encyclopedic knowledge at their fingertips. We want both the most casual fans of just the Star Wars movies and harcore fans of the entire extended universe to be comfortable in The Old Republic. If you have to possess a knowledge of extensive backstory in order to follow a story we've failed in our job as writers. That said, there will be plenty of interesting things to discover for both fans of the KOTOR series and the extended universe as a whole.

A lot of the footage you saw was when Taris was being worked on and is not exactly how it will look when done. We do our best to capture the moments when developers are working on these things to give everyone a glimpse of the process instead of just when it is done.

Moza is correct. We announced the TPB back in November. This will be an announcement about The Old Republic webcomic, not necessarily the Threat of Peace.

Yes, many people on The Old Republic team do read the forums. There are just a lot of things we are not discussing at this time and many of the questions asked are pertaining to things we haven't even confirmed or about things we've announced but haven't given any details about.

As more information is released, you'll notice discussions also increase.

Wenn ich es richtig in Erinnerung habe, war das Echelon-Gebäude sogar in Sichtweite der BioWare Büros, in jedem Fall aber nicht weit entfernt - insofern hat die Frage durchaus ihre Berechtigung. Und im Offtopic-Bereich ist es auch durchaus möglich, solche Themen zu diskutieren.

Bei einer Sache muss ich TalAkkonichi jedoch Recht geben - die Frage ist beantwortet, und aus dem danach leider vorherrschenden Tonfall wird sich wahrscheinlich keine Sinnvolle Diskussion ergeben. Deswegen schließe ich an dieser Stelle den Thread.

You are correct, this would still be disallowed by the Fan Site Kit Agreement. This does not mean you cannot have a fan site since there are obviously many fan sites already (prior to us releasing this). It will mean we cannot spotlight that site on the official website, though.

We have already received various emails about why this Fan Site Kit is different from other BioWare Fan Sites and I would like to explain that this one is crafted specifically for the Star Wars™:The Old Republic™ intellectual property.

Hi,

Ich hätte mal ne Frage, darf man diese Fan site-kit eigentlich auch für eine Gilden HP benutzen? Die Frage klingt warscheinlich leicht dämlich, aber ich möchte mich 100% absichern bevor ich davon was nutze.

Denn in den Nutzungsbedingungen steht ja immer irgendwas von Fan-Site.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Taris: Zeugnis der Sith-Zerstörung
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 12.02.2010 um 16:02 Uhr

Taris beherbergte einst eine blühende Zivilisation, die vor 300 Jahren im Jedi-Bürgerkrieg vom Sith-Lord Darth Malak ausgelöscht wurde. Als Zeichen der Hoffnung, Erlösung und des Widerstands fasste die Republik den ungewöhnlichen Plan, Taris erneut zu kolonisieren. Damit dies gelingt, müssen die Siedler mit giftigen Böden, gefährlichen Piraten und wilden Rakghulen zurechtkommen, den einzigen Überlebenden der Sith-Bombardierung. Die Anführer der Republik und der Jedi treten diesen Herausforderungen mit Bestimmtheit entgegen, doch der Imperiale Geheimdienst hat andere Pläne ...

Greift auf das HoloNetz zu, um mehr über die Geschichte von Taris und die erneute Kolonisierung dieser ruinierten Welt voller Rakghule zu erfahren.

Der Tod von Jedi-Meisterin Dar'Nala verspricht wieder Hoffnung auf Frieden und Jedi-Ritter Satele Shan weigert sich weiterzukämpfen. Während sich die Helden der Republik vorsichtig aus den Höhlen zurückziehen, gibt Lord Baras Satele eine letzte Chance und macht eine unheilverkündende Prophezeiung.

Character Classes -> Class name change that makes sense.
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 12.02.2010 um 01:35 Uhr

Most people were on the right track. Both "Lord" and "Darth" are used as ranks among Sith in the Sith Empire of The Old Republic--an empire with far more Sith than we've ever seen in the movies and thus a much more complicated system of organization. Thus not using them as class names.

On the Jedi side they are far less worried about who can dominate who, though the ranks of Padawan, Jedi (not usually used as a formal title but merely someone who has completed their training) and Master do exist.

General Discussion -> seriously curious
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 10.02.2010 um 15:50 Uhr

We understand completely that you guys are anxious for more information and updates about the game.

On the flip side of that, or perhaps to complete the equation, we are really anxious to be able to deliver information to you. Other than interacting with the Community, getting to be on the team that delivers content and gameplay updates is incredibly exciting and rewarding - we want to get you guys that information. I can promise you that we share your excitement and anticipation.

Unfortunately, it's not quite as simple as pulling the "Update Truck" up to the dock and unloading it. This quote from Sean pretty well sums it up:

While we have announced our target launch window, we also realize there is a lot of information to release between now and then. We met with the development team soon after returning from the holiday break and discussed some of the information we want to release. In going over that, we decided to wait on a few things to ensure we are giving the community the most accurate information possible. We understand that pretty much everyone would love to have all the information about The Old Republic now but we wouldn't be serving the community properly if we told you all about a particular feature or mechanic only for it to be completely different than the way we explained it when The Old Republic releases....
To reiterate, we are extremely excited about getting you detailed and relevant information. But if we give you information that is incorrect, we haven't given you anything at all. We'd much rather get you guys the good stuff the first time - even if it takes a little longer.

Thanks.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 09.02.2010 um 13:46 Uhr

An dieser Stelle möchte ich Euch bitten, wieder auf das Ursprungsthema zurückzukommen. Es ging am Anfang einfach nur um Namen, die nicht total aus dem Star Wars-Universum ausbrechen - bei so vielen verschiedenen Spezies, Sprachen und Dialekten lässt sich da schon viel machen. Inzwischen sind wir aber bei einer RP-Diskussion angekommen, die zwar Namen als Grundthema hat, sich letztendlich aber doch um Toleranzschwellen im RP Bereich dreht.

Insofern - bitte wieder zurück zum Kernthema.

Insofern möchte ich alle bitten, diese Diskussion bitte im entsprechenden Thread weiterzuführen. Danke!

We will have more info on other classes coming soon. In fact, I believe we've had a blog on most every class except the Jedi Consular so far.

Something to note, there is no "biased" towards the Sith Inquisitor or the Sith Empire. We put out assets when they are ready to be released and some things are ready before others. We have blogs written for various things and, as with any asset in the game, it goes through an approval process to make sure its ready.

Ironically, it wasn't that many months ago where the talk was that the development team was biased towards the Jedi and the Galactic Republic...

The Sith Inquisitor is what you make him.

Writer Rebecca Harwick entwirft den Sith-Inquisitor und führt uns auf den Pfad zur dunklen Seite.

Zitat:
Wie kann man den Sith-Inquisitor beschreiben?

Ich könnte euch sagen, dass der Sith-Inquisitor Imperator Palpatine ist und Darth Vader der Sith-Krieger, aber das würde nicht ausreichen. Dieses Vorbild dient nur als Inspiration. Es dient nicht als Ziel oder als Weg sondern vielmehr als Orientierungshilfe. Der Sith-Inquisitor ist Raistlin. Der Sith-Inquisitor ist Luzifer. Der Sith-Inquisitor ist Julius Cäsar. Der Sith-Inquisitor ist das, was man aus ihm macht.

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Dieses Freitags-Update [29.01.2010]
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 29.01.2010 um 15:24 Uhr

Hallo allerseits,

Es dauert nicht mehr lange bis zum heutigen Freitagsupdate, aber wir wollten dem vorgreifen, um diese Nachricht jetzt schon zu posten. Das heutige Update wird Threat of Peace #25 sein. Uns ist bewusst, dass einige hier damit recht unzufrieden sein werden, besonders nach den ganzen Updates, die wir Ende 2009 hatten.

Uns ist, insbesondere nach der Ankündigung des Ziel-Launchzeitfensters, klar, dass es bis dahin noch eine Menge Informationen zu releasen gibt. Wir haben uns kurz nach der Rückkehr aus der Weihnachtspause mit dem Entwicklungsteam zusammengesetzt und die Informationen diskutiert, die wir releasen möchten. Während wir diese durchgegangen sind, haben wir uns dazu entschlossen, mit einigen Dingen zu warten, um sicherzustellen, dass wir der Community Informationen zukommen lassen, die so genau wie nur möglich sind. Uns ist klar, dass so ziemlich jeder am liebsten sofort alle Infos zu The Old Republic hätte, aber wir würden der Community keinen guten Dienst leisten, wenn wir euch über ein bestimmtes Feature oder eine Mechanik berichten würden, obwohl diese zum Release von The Old Republic vielleicht schon wieder ganz anders aussieht.

Wir haben definitiv einige Enthüllungen und Ankündigungen in der Pipeline, aber wir wollten alle davon in Kenntnis setzen, dass diese nicht in den nächsten paar Wochen kommen werden. Und obgleich wir nichts lieber täten, als euch zu erzählen, was am Horizont auf euch wartet, können wir das aus den oben genannten Gründen nicht. Wir haben zwar einen Plan dafür, wann wir welche Informationen veröffentlichen möchten, aber wir stellen grundsätzlich sicher, dass das Team überzeugt davon ist, dass die Informationen akkurat sind, bevor wir sie rausgeben.

Wir wissen, dass einige von euch hier jede Woche vorbeischauen, und mache sogar täglich, egal, welche Informationen wir veröffentlichen, weil ihr den Umgang mit der Community mögt. Aber uns ist auch klar, dass einige hier vor allem wegen neuer Informationen vorbeischauen, und wir wollen sicherstellen, dass ihr sie kriegt, sobald sie verfügbar sind. Hier sind unsere Vorschläge, wie ihr über das, was bei The Old Republic passiert, auf dem Laufenden bleiben könnt, wenn ihr nicht im Forum vorbeischauen wollt.
  • Meldet Euch für den The Old Republic Newsletter an. Wir planen, den Newsletter ab diesem Monat am Ende jedes Monats zu versenden und darin alle veröffentlichten Updates anzusprechen. Wir werden ebenfalls "Community Alerts" für alle großen Ankündigungen rausschicken, die in der Regel innerhalb einiger Stunden nach dem Veröffentlichen des Updates verschickt werden.
  • Folgt uns auf einigen der beliebteren sozialen Netzwerke, wo wir euch die Informationen liefern. Wir haben Seiten auf Facebook, MySpace, Twitter und YouTube (Englisch).
  • Wenn ihr einen RSS Reader habt, könnt ihr die Newsfeeds für unsere Nachrichten-Sektion, die Medien-Sektion und die HoloNetz-Updates abonnieren.

Wie bereits erwähnt, verstehen wir, dass einige eventuell unzufrieden mit dieser Nachricht sind, und wir freuen uns immer über Feedback aus der Community, auch über die darin enthaltene konstruktive Kritik. Wir möchten euch nur bitten, eure Posts vor dem Versenden noch einmal zu lesen, bevor ihr auf "Antworten" klickt, um sicherzustellen, dass ihr nicht gegen eine der Regeln und Richtlinien dieser Community verstoßt.

Wir wissen eure Geduld und euer Verständnis zu schätzen.

Danke für Euer Verständnis!

General Discussion -> Friday's Update [January 29th, 2010]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 29.01.2010 um 05:13 Uhr

Hey everyone,

It’s only a few hours till tomorrow’s update but I wanted to go ahead and post this now. Tomorrow’s update will be Threat of Peace #25. We realize some may be a little dismayed by this, especially after all of the updates we were having towards the end of 2009.

While we have announced our target launch window, we also realize there is a lot of information to release between now and then. We met with the development team soon after returning from the holiday break and discussed some of the information we want to release. In going over that, we decided to wait on a few things to ensure we are giving the community the most accurate information possible. We understand that pretty much everyone would love to have all the information about The Old Republic now but we wouldn't be serving the community properly if we told you all about a particular feature or mechanic only for it to be completely different than the way we explained it when The Old Republic releases.

We definitely have some new reveals and announcements coming up but I wanted to inform everyone that our next couple of updates won't be those. And while I'd like nothing better than to tell you what is on the horizon, I can't for the very same reason as I talked about above. We have a plan on what information we want to release and when we want to release it but we always make sure the rest of the team is confident with the information we are releasing before we put it out there.

We know that some of you come here weekly and some even daily no matter what information we release because you enjoy interacting with the community. But we also know that some come here for new information and we want to make sure you get that when it is made available. Here are our suggestions on making sure you know what's going on with The Old Republic if you don't wish to check the forums.
  • Sign up for The Old Republic newsletter. Starting this month, we plan on sending them out at the end of each month highlighting any updates that have occurred. We will also send out "Community Alerts" for any major announcements that are released usually within a few hours of that announcement being made.
  • Follow us on some of the more popular social networks where we bring that information to you. We have pages on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube.
  • Get our updates in your RSS Reader. We have RSS Feeds for our News Section, Media Section, and our HoloNet updates.
Like I said, we understand that some may be upset with this news and we definitely encourage getting feedback from the community, to include constructive criticism. We just ask that you read over your posts before hitting "submit" to ensure they are not violating any of the rules and guidelines of this community.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
 

Sith Empire Recruitment -> Guild Recruitment Threads Over 1k
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 28.01.2010 um 00:19 Uhr

Thanks for the feedback! That's something that we will definitely be keeping an eye on.

While we understand everyone wants to have an area where they can freely converse, the Recruitment sections quickly degrade to finding inventive ways to “bump” threads to keep theirs on top. This is because some guilds believe quantity and thread placement are key in attracting quality members.

We’ve seen what has happened in other communities when you allow a thread to allow all types of postings; most will quickly become 90% with nothing more than /bump in them. This actually hurts recruitment and players have a harder time finding a guild to join because the first pages of threads have nothing but these kinds of threads in them.

After taking feedback from the community and discussing this internally, we came up with the Guild Recruitment Rules and Guidelines. It’s a bit of give and take and a delicate balance at that. For example, allowing other members (from other guilds) to post in the thread will just become another way some people will abuse and because of the grey area it will create, it will take more time to moderate.

We appreciate your feedback and the cooperation and willingness that all of you have shown as we continue working on and exploring ways to serve our guilds.

Cheers!
~Erick

Sith Empire Recruitment -> Guild Recruitment Threads Over 1k
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 26.01.2010 um 18:34 Uhr

Hey everyone!

As I’m sure you have noticed, usually when a thread gets to 1000 posts, we close the original thread, and start a new one to allow the discussion to continue. This not only helps prevent any performance related issues that can arise from a thread that has become so massive – it also helps keep conversations manageable and easy to navigate for future reference.

As we have more and more guilds approaching the 1k mark in their recruitment threads, we are going to start doing the same thing in the Guild Recruitment sub-forums. We will be copying the first post from the original thread, and closing it with a link to the new thread, to allow recruiting to continue. Also, we will be communicating directly with original posters when we do this. So if your guild recruitment thread seems to be locked, moved, or missing 987 posts, check with the poster who started the original thread, and they should be able to shed some light.

Naturally, and just like any other time, we do ask that you not make “spam” posts (to include “/bump”) to inflate the post count of your guild recruitment thread – or anyone else’s. The Guild Recruitment Rules and Guidelines are still very much in effect, and there are several “stickies” at the top of each sub-forum to help you get the most out of the time you spend in our Community.

And as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com and we will be glad to address them.

Cheers,
~Erick

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Die ruhige Community des SWTOR
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 26.01.2010 um 09:59 Uhr

Hallo Leute,

ich finde es sehr schade, das dieser Thread sich doch langsam stark vom eigentlichen Thema abgewandt hat.
Die Frage nach der ruhigen Community hat, wie die meisten anderen Fragen auch, ihre Berechtigung. Natürlich sehe ich die Community aus einem anderen Blickwinkel, aber ich finde wir haben hier eine hervorragende Community, mit all ihren Vor- und Nachteilen. Ich finde beides wichtig, denn wer die Nachteile nicht kennt, weiss die Vorteile nicht zu schätzen
Eine MMO-Community, in der jeder zufrieden ist, wird es nie geben. Egal ob Pre- oder Post-Release. Dafür gibt es hier einfach zu viele verschiedene Menschen mit vollkommen unterschiedlichen Ansichten.

Für den Moment bleibt der Thread erst einmal offen. Ich möchte Euch aber bitten, sachlicher und unpersönlicher zu werden - und das Topic im Auge zu behalten.

Windows 7 hat kein Solitär mehr .

Er hat immerhin die Anmeldung geschafft, also denke ich er wird auch in der Lage sein in nächster Zeit etwas genauer hier im Forum rumzustöbern um ganz schnell festzustellen, dass er sich mit dem Spielen erst einmal noch gedulden muss.

Das Spiel ist übrigens auch noch nicht im Betastatus.

Start -> Alle Programme -> Spiele -> Solitär - oder direkt über den Spieleexplorer.

Und damit würde ich auch darum bitten, wieder zum Thema zurückzufinden

hallo ich bin neu hier und würde gerne wissen wie ich hier spielen kann
bitte antwortet mir
Hallo Taroti, willkommen im Forum
Das Spiel ist für einen Launch-Zeitfenster im Frühjahr 2011 vorgesehen. Das heisst, vorerst kannst Du noch nicht spielen - Du kannst Dich aber sehr wohl zum Spieltest anmelden, bei dem du die Chance hast, für eine Testphase von TOR ausgewählt zu werden. Die Anmeldung dafür findest Du hier:

Bei Fragen zum Spiel kann ich Dir den GameInfo-Thread wärmstens empfehlen, und falls Du probleme bei der Anmeldung zum Spieltest hast, findest Du in diesem Thread Hilfe.

So, nach einer kleinen Aufräumaktion melde ich mich jetzt auch nochmal per Beitrag zu Wort.

Während das Thema "Privatserver" in jedem MMO-Forum immer mal wieder aufflammt, möchte ich noch einmal klarstellen, das es nicht gerne gesehen ist. Wenn ihr seht, dass dieses Thema hier angeschnitten wird, möchte ich euch darum bitten, den entsprechenden Post zu melden - insbesondere wenn darin Aussagen á la "Ich geh' mit meinen Freunden eh auf einen Privatserver" oder "Warum spielt ihr nicht einfach auf einem Privatserver?" auftauchen.

Ich habe einige Posts editiert - andere musste ich leider ganz löschen, da sie ohne den herauseditierten Abschnitt keinen Sinn mehr ergaben.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Ansturm des Sith-Imperiums
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 22.01.2010 um 10:46 Uhr

Eine neue Holoaufzeichnung im Jedi-Archiv erzählt die Geschichte vom Überraschungsangriff des Sith-Imperiums zu Beginn des Großen Krieges mehr als 28 Jahre vor der Plünderung von Coruscant. Meister Gnost-Dural weist auf die brillante Ausführung des Angriffs hin, die es dem imperialen Militär ermöglichte, die Republik über den gesamten Verlauf des Konflikts in eine nachteilige Lage zu zwingen.

28 VVC – Jahrhunderte nach der Vertreibung ins Exil ist das Sith-Imperium aus den Tiefen des Raums zurückgekehrt, um einen der am besten vorbereiteten Militärangriffe in der Geschichte der Republik zu starten. Durch ihren bedrohlichen Auftritt bei dem taktisch klugen Angriff gelang es ihnen, die Herzen der Verteidiger der Republik mit Angst zu erfüllen und gleichzeitig Überraschungsangriffe auf sorgfältig ausgewählte Ziele überall in der Galaxis auszuführen. Als die republikanische Flotte zur Verteidigung eilen wollte, hatten die Sith bereits auf mehreren Planeten im Outer Rim Marionettenregimes eingerichtet. Umgeben von Feinden und Verrätern musste die Flotte der Republik sich aufteilen und ermöglichte es somit dem Sith-Imperium, große Teile des Outer Rim ohne weitere Gegenwehr einzunehmen. Die ersten Siege des Imperiums haben die Republik für den gesamten Verlauf des Großen Krieges in eine nachteilige Position gedrängt.

Seht euch die sechste Zeitlinien-Holoaufzeichnung Ansturm des Imperiums mit der Stimme von Tilo Schmitz an.

News and Announcements -> Onslaught of the Sith Empire
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 22.01.2010 um 10:46 Uhr

A new holorecord in the Jedi Archive tells the story of the Sith Empire’s surprise attack at the start of the Great War over 28 years before the Sacking of Coruscant. Master Gnost-Dural notes the brilliance of the Imperial military’s carefully orchestrated assault which put the Republic at a disadvantage for the duration of the conflict.

BTC 28 – Centuries after being driven into exile, the Sith Empire returned from deep space to launch the most calculated military assault in Republic history. Strategically revealing its attack in a menacing manner, the Sith struck fear into the hearts of the Republic’s defenders even while orchestrating surprise attacks at carefully targeted locations across the galaxy. When the Republic fleet rushed to respond, they discovered the Sith had established puppet governments on several planets in the Outer Rim. Surrounded by enemies and traitors, the Republic fleet was forced to scatter, allowing the Sith Empire to sweep through most of the Outer Rim without further challenge. The Empire’s initial victories put the Republic at a disadvantage for the duration of the Great War.

Watch the sixth Timeline holorecord, Onslaught of the Sith Empire, narrated by actor Lance Henriksen.

Bezüglich der Alterseinstufung habe ich in dem von Aryno erwähnten Thread gerade ebenfalls ein Posting gemacht.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 19.01.2010 um 13:56 Uhr

Bezüglich PEGI, USK, ESRB, usw.:

Es hat bisher keine Einstufung des gesamten Spiels stattgefunden, dafür ist es noch zu früh. Das PEGI 12+ Symbol bedeutet lediglich, das die Seite selbst als für User ab 12 für geeignet befunden wird. Bei einigen Videos auf der Seite werdet ihr feststellen, das diese für 16+ als geeignet empfohlen werden - das ist eine reine, vorsichtige Selbsteinschätzung.

Offizielle Einstufungen werden erst unmittelbar vor dem Release, bzw. direkt zum Release möglich sein.

News and Announcements -> STAR WARS: The Old Republic Fan Friday
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 16.01.2010 um 01:03 Uhr

Understandably, not everyone is going to like the update every week. That is why we do a variety of updates and not just the same thing every week. That said, not every week can be a "big" week. Some weeks we have videos, some we don't. Sometimes we have media assets that show off the game, sometimes we have assets that talk more about the thoughts and lore behind the game. Sometimes we reveal something new, and other times we delve a little deeper into something already known.

That all said, there are things we are just not ready to discuss at this time. We do not want to talk about "Feature X" or "System Y" only to have it not appear in the game. We'd much rather wait until "Feature X" is actually working the way we desire and then we'll talk about it.

If we did talk about things that weren't working the way we want, there is the potential it changes between then and launch. Then, if a player had his or her heart set on something we simply "announced" and then it wasn't there or completely different than they were told, that player will feel lied and betrayed to. This does more of a disservice to the community rather than making them wait for solid information to be released.

As for the Developer Corner, one of the nice aspects about it is we can release information there that sometimes doesn't quite fit our "bundled" approach. When we do a reveal, there are a variety of assets with a common theme. But sometimes there is just something cool that we want to show off that isn't a reveal or part of a bundle; the Developer Corner gives us an avenue to display things just like that.

So, while Fan Friday is highlighting some of the great community contributions, it now also lets us spotlight developer creations that didn't fit in some of our other updates.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 15.01.2010 um 16:18 Uhr

Die 24. Ausgabe von Threat of Peace™ beginnt gleich actionreich mit dem Kampf von Jedi-Ritter Satele Shan und Meisterin Dar'Nala gegen Lord Baras. Satele hält aber ein, als Baras die Wahrheit aufdeckt, dass Meisterin Dar'Nala für die kürzlichen, gewalttätigen Versuche verantwortlich ist, den Friedensvertag zu sabotieren. Während Satele über die ganze Tragweite nachdenkt, wagt Baras den kühnen Versuch, den er geplant hatte - jetzt, da sie die wahre Schwäche der Jedi sieht, drängt Baras sie, sich den Sith anzuschließen ...

The twenty-fourth issue of Threat of Peace™ drops us right back into the action as Jedi Knight Satele Shan and Master Dar’Nala press their attack against Lord Baras. Satele is given pause, however, when Baras reveals the truth—that Master Dar’Nala was responsible for the recent violent attempts to undermine the peace treaty. As Satele considers the implications, Baras makes the bold attempt he’s been planning—now that Satele sees the true weakness of the Jedi, Baras urges her to join the Sith…

No, it wasn't a joke. And while we understand why some people are unhappy with this information, at the end of the day you have to realize one thing. We only have one chance to launch STAR WARS: The Old Republic and we want to do it right. We've all seen what happens when a game is launched before it's ready and that isn't something we want to do. We want to do our best to make a quality game that our community can enjoy. To create a game of this type, takes time to do right because we also have to ensure that it's not only "done" but properly tested and tweaked based on feedback.

Anyways, as for today's update, it will be a Fan Friday and within it, we'll be revealing a new section (in Fan Friday) called "Developer Corner". More info on that in about 15 minutes (when we post it).

First order of business is to educate the Community. It would be naïve of us to assume that there aren't players out there who are desperate to give away their account information for an in-game advantage. We hope that by providing some information about what really happens with credit sellers etc., that a majority of our players will become deaf to the siren-song of these farmers/hackers.

Otherwise, this is something that the teams from Design all the way to Support are aware of and feel strongly about. I can't think of anyone here who hasn't worked on an MMO before, and isn't playing (at least) one now. So the teams are aware of how it affects everyone who plays.

But for me to go into details about what we're doing internally could be counter-productive. Besides, unless you enjoy looking at stings of HEX for hours on end, it's very, very boring. :P

General Discussion -> Gold Selling & Power Leveling Websites
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 11.01.2010 um 18:50 Uhr

Hey everyone,

Over the past few weeks, we have been seeing a serious increase in people who are finding websites offering credits for sale, or power leveling services.

This is something that we are dedicated to combat, for several reasons, and to help us do so we ask that instead of posting a link to the website itself, you simply send an email to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com letting us know about the website's existence.

Again, please do not post links to the actual website on the forums. Those websites are notorious for installing malware and keyloggers on a user's machine that can steal your personal info (e.g. email passwords, social networking website accounts, credit card information, login credentials to any other games you might be playing, and anything else that you might consider private).

Please understand that it's not that we don't want people to discuss and be aware of these malicious websites - we absolutely want our player's to be educated about this threat. It's just that every time a link to one of these websites appears somewhere new on the internet, the chance that someone who doesn't understand the risk is going to click on it increases, and we do not want our Community members inadvertently exposed to anything that could do this type of damage. Despite their claims, these websites are not in existence to help players out; their sole purpose is to be profitable, and most of them accomplish this by theft.

tl;dr - if you come across a credit selling/power leveling website, do not post the link on our forums - just email it to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com and we will investigate it.

Cheers,

News and Announcements -> Dromund Kaas, Imperial Seat of Power
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 08.01.2010 um 16:14 Uhr

Colonized and built upon by the Sith Empire, Dromund Kaas is home to the Emperor and his Dark Council. Almost completely forgotten for over a thousand years, the rediscovery of this world prompted the Sith surprise attacks that plunged the entire galaxy headlong into war. Despite being “off the map” by comparison to more heavily visited planets, such as the training world of Korriban, Dromund Kaas is very much the center of the Empire. Although the Emperor himself seems to have fallen silent recently, his Dark Council may have awakened a dangerous, hidden power within the planet’s jungles and ruins.

Access the HoloNet records to learn more about the mysterious past, and uncertain future of Dromund Kaas. Also, explore Dromund Kaas in this planet flythrough video, and be sure to check out the media section to see the latest wallpapers, screenshots, and concept art!

Sure enough, Master Dar’Nala leads Jedi Knight Fortris Gall and Lieutenant Tavus to the caves to slay the Sith and lay the blame on them for destroying the peace treaty. When Jedi Knight Satele Shan tracks down her friends and realizes her Master yet lives, however, anything can happen…

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Dromund Kaas, Machtsitz des Imperiums
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 08.01.2010 um 16:13 Uhr

Der Planet Dromund Kaas, der vom Sith-Imperium kolonisiert und bebaut wurde, ist die Heimat des Imperators und seines Sith-Rats. Nachdem er mehr als tausend Jahre in Vergessenheit geraten war, provozierte seine Wiederentdeckung die Überraschungsangriffe der Sith, welche die gesamte Galaxis kopfüber in einen Krieg stürzten. Auch wenn Dromund Kaas im Vergleich zu häufiger besuchten Planeten wie der Ausbildungswelt Korriban recht entlegen erscheint, ist die Welt dennoch das Zentrum des Imperiums. Um den Imperator selbst mag es zwar in letzter Zeit ruhiger geworden sein, doch der Rat der Sith könnte eine gefährliche, versteckte Macht in den Urwäldern und Ruinen des Planeten entfesselt haben.

Greift auf die HoloNetz-Einträge zu, um mehr über die mysteriöse Vergangenheit und unbekannte Zukunft von Dromund Kaas zu erfahren. Erkundet außerdem Dromund Kaas in diesem Flythrough-Video des Planeten, und seht euch auch unbedingt den Medien-Bereich an, wo ihr neue Screenshots, Konzeptgrafiken und Hintergrundbilder findet!

Guild Hall -> Guild Recruitment and Bioware
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 06.01.2010 um 22:30 Uhr

Great post and sorry for any confusion over the subject. The Guild Recruitment forums are meant to be just what they are labeled - areas to assist members looking to join a guild and an area for guilds to recruit new members. They are not meant to be social hubs. Does this mean we don't want our community to be sociable? Definitely not, we just want it done in the appropriate areas. If someone wants to talk about the Jedi Knight class, we ask that they do so in the Jedi Knight class forum. If someone wants to talk about a movie they say last night, they should post that in the Off-Topic section.

Originally we left the Guild Recruitment forums much more open and the problems that occurred is that it became a bumpfest because guilds would always want their thread as the first one people would see. Most of these posts were filled with "Hey, I saw this last night" or 30+ posts welcoming a new member (even if the guild didn't even have more than 10 members). Due to things such as this, we had to alter the rules.

In fact, we originally closed down the Guild Recruitment forums. Due to community feedback, we not only reopened the forums but added a new "undecided" forum. You can read more about that here.

That all said, this is not all the we will have for guilds; this is just what we have at this moment. There are a variety of things we will be doing in the future to better accommodate guilds. And the ironic part being is I just came out of a meeting talking about guilds.

Quick edit - And if you are seeing a post that violates the rules and/or guidelines, please flag it. Don't reply to it, don't quote it saying it's being flagged. Just simply flag it and let the Community Team look at the situation and make a determination on what should or shouldn't be done.

Na na na, bitte werdet wieder etwas sachlicher. Wir haben hier eine der umgänglichsten Deutschen Communities, die ich bisher erleben durfte. Das Spiel wird alles bieten, was man von einem MMO erwartet, und dabei auch, wie bereits an mehreren Stellen angekündigt, ordentlichen Solocontent. "Nur" das eine oder das andere zu fordern, ist eventuell überzogen, aber deswegen muss man ja nicht gleich die Lichtschwerter zum Kampf zücken.

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> die release debatte anheizen...
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 06.01.2010 um 13:36 Uhr

Auch, wenn ich bei dem Post von Ronndrak durchaus schmunzeln musste - bitte denkt dran, das hier kein einziger Beitrag auf Fakten basiert
Der einzige Fakt ist, das wir noch nichts zu diesem Thema bekannt gegeben haben. Ob man das Releasedate jetzt an dem Zeitpunkt festmacht, an dem Uranus im dritten Haus des Neptun mit Aszendent Widder steht, und gleichzeitig ein paar Planeten im Adlernebel eine Reihe bilden, oder versucht, das Erscheinungsdatum aufgrund von anderen Dingen, wie dem Release des TOR-Romans, zu interpolieren - es bleiben vermutungen. Wenn wir das Releasedate bekannt gegeben haben, besteht immer eine erhebliche Chance, das jemand, der einfach geraten hat, näher dran liegt als jemand, der eine quasi-Wissenschaft daraus gemacht hat. Insofern, seht das ganze bitte locker, und macht Euch nicht über die Vermutungen anderer lustig.

Sofern es nicht komplett in's Lächerliche abgleitet, kann hier jeder seine Vermutung posten.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 01.01.2010 um 16:06 Uhr

(Warum ist dieses Update auf Englisch?)

Senior Writer Alexander Freed divulges some of the secrets of the life of the Imperial Agent!

Quote:
The Imperial Agent is the ghost inside the Empire who ensures the people’s loyalty. She could be your neighbor, your lover or your superior officer. When rebellion stirs, she silences or discredits those who commit treason. She’s always alert, always watching for signs of dissent, and with a word, she can consign you to a dark cell for the rest of your life.

So, und jetzt wird auch der Hergen weiter die letzte Nacht verdauen... Frohes Neues vom ganzen Team! ^^

It's best to have the appropriate people on hand when doing such things in case there are any questions the Community Team cannot answer as definitively as those who developed it.

Also, until the new year comes, the updates will be in English only. We sincerely apologize for this and contemplated not putting these updates up until they could be localized in both German and French and release them all at the same time as we've done previously. But, due to the time of year, we feel the community as a whole would appreciate more getting these now rather than not getting any updates until the second week of January. We will do our best to ensure this situation does not happen again, though.

While we've talked about this previously, I would like to bring up the point again about our updates. I know many would like all the information now but, as I'm sure everyone understands, no matter how often we update the website, it won't make the game get developed faster. In fact, the reverse is closer to the truth of how we release our updates. We only want to release things we are confident in having little to no changes. This is how we are with all of our information. And while I know waiting can seem to take an eternity, we feel it is much better for the community in the long run to release accurate information on how something does work instead of how we hope or plan on things to work.

That all said, it's been quite a year. This time last year we had a smaller community and our updates were along the lines of our December Media Update and the December Fan Friday. Throughout the course of 2009, our community has grown considerably, we've revealed all eight (8) of our classes, announced six (6) more planets, we displayed the first cinematic trailer for TOR, our community has expanded to the French and German languages, we started our Developer Dispatch, Threat of Peace webcomic, and the Timeline series, and we have even shown TOR at a few conventions.

But 2009 is about to be behind us and we're not only stepping into a new year but a new decade. Before that begins, we hope everyone is enjoying time with their friends and families during these holidays and we hope you join us in 2010!

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Frohe Feiertage!
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 25.12.2009 um 16:08 Uhr

Hallo allerseits!

Es ist wieder die Zeit des Jahres, in der wir von den Feiertagen eingeholt werden. Wie auch im letzten Jahr werden wir auch heute und am Neujahrstag (1.1.) Updates bringen. Erwartet aber im Rahmen dessen bitte keine großen Ankündigungen, da die Entwickler im redlich verdienten Urlaub sind, während wir diese Updates bringen. Es ist am besten, wenn man die richtigen Leute zur Hand hat wenn man solche Updates bringt, falls es irgendwelche Fragen gibt, die das Community Team nicht so definitiv beantworten kann wie diejenigen, die das ganze entwickeln.

Hinzu kommt, dass die Updates bis zum nächsten Jahr nur in Englisch erscheinen werden. Wir möchten uns dafür vielmals entschuldigen und haben bereits erwogen, die Updates nicht online zu bringen, bis sie ebenfalls in Deutsch und Französisch verfügbar wären, um sie dann wie gewohnt gleichzeitig zu veröffentlichen. Aber, auch aufgrund der feierlichen Zeit des Jahres, denken wir, dass die Community als ganzes mehr davon profitieren würde, die Updates jetzt zu erhalten, anstatt bis zur zweiten Januarwoche gar nichts zu bekommen. Wir werden allerdings unser Bestes tun, um zu verhindern, dass eine solche Situation nicht noch einmal vorkommt.

Obwohl wir es schon öfter angesprochen haben, möchten wir auch noch einmal unsere Updates ansprechen. Wir wissen, dass viele am liebsten alle Informationen sofort hätten. Ihr versteht aber sicherlich auch, dass das Spiel nicht schneller entwickelt wird, ganz egal wie oft wir ein Update auf die Seite bringen. Tatsächlich ist bezüglich der Veröffentlichung von Updates eher sogar das Gegenteil davon näher an der Wahrheit. Wir möchten nur Dinge veröffentlichen, bei denen wir uns relativ sicher sein können, dass sie keine größeren Veränderungen mehr erfahren werden - vorzugsweise gar keine mehr. So gehen wir mit allen unseren Informationen um. Auch wenn wir wissen, dass einem das Warten oft wie eine Ewigkeit vorkommen kann, denken wir, dass es für die Community auf lange Sicht gesehen besser ist, korrekte Informationen darüber zu veröffentlichen, wie etwas funktioniert, anstelle darüber, wie wir hoffen oder planen, dass es laufen sollte.

Aber auch nach alldem war es ein enormes Jahr. Zur selben Zeit im letzten Jahr hatten wir eine kleinere Community, und unsere Updates orientierten sich eher an so etwas wie dem December Media Update und dem December Fan Friday. Durch den Verlauf des Jahres 2009 ist unsere Community deutlich gewachsen, wir haben alle acht (8) unserer Klassen veröffentlicht, sechs (6) weitere Planeten angekündigt, wir haben den ersten cinematic Trailer für TOR vorgeführt, die Community ist in Französisch und Deutsch expandiert, wir haben die Entwicklerberichte eingeführt, den Threat of Peace-Webcomic, die Serie von Zeitlinien-Einträgen, und wir haben TOR sogar auf einigen Conventions gezeigt.

Aber 2009 liegt schon fast hinter uns, und wir treten nicht nur in ein neues Jahr, sondern in ein neues Jahrzehnt ein. Bevor dieses beginnt, hoffen wir, dass jeder die Zeit mit seinen Freunden und Familien während dieser Feiertage genießt, und wir hoffen, dass ihr in 2010 wieder mit dabei seid!

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Wlan und MMOs - Geht das gut?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 20.12.2009 um 12:02 Uhr

Der Software (in diesem Fall ein MMO) ist es relativ egal, über was für ein Netzwerk sie betrieben wird. Dementsprechend gibt es da keine Probleme. Auf der Hardwareseite kann man schon einiges falsch machen.

Technische Probleme
Probleme kann es z.B. geben, wenn man nahe an einem Stromtransformator lebt, wenn man die Mikrowelle einschaltet, oder wenn in der Wohnung / dem Haus Stahlbeton benutzt wurde. Ebenfalls gibt es Wandfarben, denen verschiedene Metallpartikel zugemischt wurden, und hier zu Problemen führen können (Signalabschirmung / Reflektion). Auch kann man zu viele Drahtlosnetzwerke in der Umgebung haben, wodurch alle Kanäle belegt sind - sowas sollte aber maximal in Hochhausgebieten oder Studentenwohnheimen vorkommen.

Manchmal gibt es auch Inkompatibilitäten zwischen verschiedenen eingesetzten Chipsets (Marvell / Intel / Broadcom / Atheros z.B.), was aber sehr selten sein sollte (eigentlich nur bei den ersten Draft-N Adaptern).

Verschlüsselung
Ja, die Verschlüsselung erzeugt einen deutlichen Overhead, man sollte sie aber trotzdem immer benutzen - wer einen ungesicherten Access Point hat (Router, AP, etc.), ist für alles, was darüber geschieht, verantwortlich. Sprich, wenn einer vor dem Haus parkt, mit dem Laptop irgendeinen Mist über den Anschluss baut, und weiterfährt, seid ihr dafür verantwortlich - deswegen immer verschlüsseln (und nicht WEP benutzen, das ist in Minuten geknackt)!

Geschwindigkeit
Mit aktueller Verschlüsselung schafft man über einen 54Mbit Router immer noch ca. 2.5MB/s, ein Wireless-N router müsste auf 15-20MB/s kommen. So macht ein 54Mbit Router für DSL16k oder Kabel 20k noch Sinn, für höhere Datenübertragungsraten (32Mbit, 50Mbit, 100Mbit) sollte dann aber auf Wireless-N oder Kabel zurückgegriffen werden.

Bei der Geschwindigkeit kommen allerdings noch andere Faktoren dazu - wieviele Clients sind angemeldet? Verfügen alle Clients über die gleiche technologie (sprich - gemischtes oder einheitliches Netzwerk)? Usw.

Fazit
Hört sich schwierig an, ist es aber eigentlich nicht. Im überwiegenden Großteil aller Fälle kann man ein WLAN einfach in Betrieb nehmen, und es läuft einwandfrei. Die aktuellen Geräte sind auch in der Lage, eine sichere Verbindung selbstständig aufzubauen (dafür muss man nur einen Knopf auf dem Router oder Access Point drücken, wenn man sich verbinden möchte), dafür müssen dies aber beide Geräte unterstützen.

Auch wenn es von einem renomierten Magazin kommt, ist das nicht ganz richtig - Wireless-N (802.11n) ist sowohl für das 2.4Ghz, als auch das 5Ghz-Band ausgelegt, und arbeitet deshalb auch mit 802.11a zusammen. Allerdings gibt es zwei verschiedene Bauarten - bei der einen gibt es für 5Ghz und 2.4Ghz getrennte Sendeeinheiten, so das beide parallel genutzt werden können, bei der anderen gibt es nur eine Sendeeinheit, die entweder das eine oder das andere kann (hat Kostengründe. Weiteres gibt's dazu auch in der Wikipedia.

Check out IGN's latest article on TOR:

Quote:
Star Wars: The Old Republic Clichés
December 17, 2009 - Legends speak of a giant codex of Star Wars lore that's made available to game makers, novel writers and comic book makers in order to ensure that their creations are as faithful as possible to the rich history of George Lucas's extended universe. After all, nothing brings down the ire of the Star Wars faithful than mixing up Darth Maleval and Darth Maladi, or getting your sand rats and sand mice mixed up.

We're sure that BioWare is already on top of the details for the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, but there are plenty of Star Wars standards that aren't likely to be mentioned in any "official" compendium of Star Wars lore. With that in mind, we want to present these ten ingredients for making a truly authentic Star Wars experience.

Es scheint, dass Meisterin Dar'Nala die imperiale Gefangenschaft tatsächlich überlebt hat und dass alles, was seitdem geschehen ist, Teil ihres Plans war.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 18.12.2009 um 15:55 Uhr

Weit draußen im Outer Rim glüht die Wüste von Tatooine unter den Strahlen zweier heller Sonnen. Verstreut in der trostlosen Landschaft liegen wenige, kaum zivilisierte Siedlungen, eingeschlossen von der unendlichen Weite der kargen Dünen und felsigen Schluchten, in denen schon so viele ein stilles Ende fanden, die sich in die Wüste wagten. In den kleinen Barackendörfern und Siedlungen, die überlebt haben, finden Reisende Schutz vor dem brutalen Klima, doch Vertrauen ist auf dieser gesetzlosen Welt genauso selten zu finden wie Wasser. Besucher wie auch Einheimische müssen in den Siedlungen von Tatooine ständig mit dem Schlimmsten rechnen.
Greift auf das HoloNetz zu, um mehr über die Wüstenödnis von Tatooine und die Mysterien, die tief unter den brennenden Dünen ruhen, herauszufinden. Seht euch auch unbedingt den Medien-Bereich an, wo ihr Screenshots, Konzeptgrafiken und Hintergrundbilder zu dieser unerbittlichen Wüstenlandschaft findet.

Kleine Anmerkung bzgl. der Ladezeiten: Bitte denkt dran, das der entscheidende Faktor hier in der Regel die Festplatte ist und nur in den seltensten Fällen RAM oder CPU schuldig sind. Die Ladezeiten hängen dann auch immer davon ab, wie die Ressourcen aufgebaut sind.
Tendentiell gilt: Viele kleine Dateien = Zugriffszeitenabhängig, wenige große Dateien = Transferratenabhängig. Insbesondere bei der ersten Variante hilft dann auch ein RAID0 nichts, weil sich dadurch die Zugriffszeiten nicht eben verkürzen.

Sehr schön gemacht! Wenn man jetzt noch ein Motto eintragen könnte, á la "Freie Bahn auf Alderaan!" oder "Ich bremse nicht für Ewoks!", wär's perfekt
Ich verschiebe den Thread allerdings fix in die Community-Schöpfungen.

In jedem Fall sehr cool!

General Discussion -> How many times have you watched this
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 12.12.2009 um 01:13 Uhr

Truth be told, I'm unsure just how many times I've seen the trailer... easily over a hundred times. And the great part is, I've seen the trailer numerous times when it was still work in progress, I've seen it on the big screen, I've seen it in a presentation theater with a lightshow, and even watching it today on my desktop still makes me think "The Force is strong with this one."

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Sith-Inquisitor, Meister der Täuschung
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 11.12.2009 um 18:42 Uhr

Die Geschichte des Sith-Imperiums steckt voller politischer Intrigen und dunkler Geheimnisse - das Lebensblut des Sith-Inquisitors. Verrat lauert hinter jeder Ecke in den dunklen Korridoren des Imperiums und das Überleben hängt stets von der eigenen Gerissenheit und dem Willen ab, Feinde wie auch Verbündete zu manipulieren und auszuschalten. Der Inquisitor experimentiert mit verbotenen Kräften - nicht nur, um in einer unbarmherzigen Welt zu überleben, sondern um in dieser verdorbenen Gesellschaft Macht und Einfluss zu erlangen.

Greift auf den neusten HoloNetz-Eintrag zu und seht euch das komplette Profil des Sith-Inquisitors an, inklusive eines Videos, in dem ihr Zeuge der zerstörerischen Kräfte der dunklen Seite werdet! Seht euch auch unbedingt den Medien-Bereich an, wo ihr Screenshots, Konzeptgrafiken und Bildschirmhintergründe findet!

Granted, it is no secret that today's update is about the Sith Inquisitor but I would ask those of you who have snooped around and discovered a few things to keep such things to yourself. There is a reason we haven't brought everything live yet.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

This is correct, though the objection is unneeded, as the sentence has been misinterpreted. Apologies for it not being more clear: ""The Emperor of the Old Sith from the Great Hyperspace War, that the Jedi thought they had killed off."

He is the Emperor of the Sith. The Sith are a group that the Jedi thought they had killed off in the Great Hyperspace War. He was not Emperor of the Sith during the Hyperspace War, which is why the Republic have no previous knowledge of his existence.

Hope that helps,

  • Later Revan returned to deep space to confront what he knew was out there but how much he actually remembered and how clearly he remembered it is still a mystery, as are the events that followed. What we do know is that it took hundreds of years for the Sith to re-emerge as originally planned.
The rest is all speculation and have fun with that. For those of you convinced that somehow we’re going to destroy KOTOR, I ask you to remember that the creative team (including the lead writer and lead designer) that was in charge of KOTOR’s story is on this staff, working on this game. Trust us that our investment in this lore is at least as strong as yours.

Here's a link on Wookieepedia that may clear some things up!

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/HK-47

As a result of Revan's programming, HK-47 displayed obedience to those he identified as his master, but had little regard for any form of life and was driven by a desire for violence and carnage. HK-47 characteristically used the term meatbag when speaking of organic life forms, especially Humans.

Ob sie lange vergessene Geheimnisse lüften, Armeen der Republik aufstellen oder in tödlichen Duellen den dunklen Lords der Sith gegenübertreten, die Jedi-Botschafter können sich immer auf ihre tiefe Verbundenheit zur Macht verlassen, die ihnen die nötige Kraft gibt, in jeder Situation ihr Gleichgewicht und ihre Gelassenheit zu wahren.

Whether unlocking long forgotten mysteries of the Jedi, raising armies to fight for the Republic, or engaging in mortal combat with Dark Lords of the Sith, the Jedi Consulars’ deep attunement to the Force gives them all the power they need to rise to any battle with poise and balance.

Conversations, too, are acted out directly using the real-time dialogue systems of Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

This is a case where we would really need specifics. If a word is in the filter that shouldn't be, then contact us and we will get that looked at.

However, if a URL contains a word that isn't appropriate for our Community, we have to allow for the possiblity that whatever that URL points to may also be inappropriate for our Community.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands-On - The Sith Inquisitor
Star Wars stole the limelight at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo. There, the creative forces of BioWare and LucasArts revealed some juicy new information about their upcoming sci-fi online role-playing game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. In addition to unveiling a mouthwatering cinematic trailer at the show, the developers gave us a taste of the smuggler and bounty hunter character classes behind closed doors. Since then, we've seen the Sith warrior, Jedi knight, and Imperial agent. At a recent EA showcase in London, BioWare revealed the remaining two classes: the Jedi consular and the Sith inquisitor. We got the chance to play through an inquisitor quest during the event and talked to the development team.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Preview: The Space Inquisition
I played through about 95% of a quest we'll call "The Tomb of Tulac Horde" because I'm not sure what its official name is, but that just about sums it up. I was in the role of a Sith Inquisitor acolyte with a nice rack and red hair — and I was role playing her with an attitude problem that somehow didn't get her Force-choked even once during the play through. The quest involves going into a tomb to collect three tablets and returning to your Sith master. Additionally, you could accept a quest to activate something in the tomb called the Red Machine for some other dude standing outside the tomb.

December 3rd Information Extravaganza

Star Wars: The Old Republic Hands-On - The Sith Inquisitor
Our hands-on with the game featured a combat-heavy side quest on the Sith homeworld of Korriban--which was also featured in Knights of the Old Republic II. The area that we saw was certainly a desolate place, featuring red dirt and rock formations and some dangerous alien life-forms. Our character, a level eight Sith inquisitor, had come to Korriban to study the lost laws of the Sith and to be trained in their ways. After talking to a shady quest giver called Ephram Zell, we needed to enter a Sith tomb and acquire an artefact known as the Red Engine. This mission also served as a test for would-be dark lords like us, as we needed to kill the monsters that lurked within the tomb before collecting the device and returning to Zell.

Hands-on: Star Wars: The Old Republic
While navigating the corridors of the planet's sprawling, temple-like fortifications on our way to the dig site, we were approached by another Sith. She informed us that some Jedi had been captured and were being held prisoner on Korriban, and wanted us to interrogate them. Knowing our time was short, we left this for later, having seen what will likely be only the beginning of multiple, intertwining quests for each class.

You can't fault BioWare and LucasArts' showmanship, but when you're working with what they're working with, it's almost too easy. At a recent EA press event, we were shown and allowed to play their Star Wars MMO, The Old Republic, behind closed doors. We suspect this was only so they could have a hydraulic octagonal door to put the game behind, with a Stormtrooper guarding it, quacking officiously at loitering journos. Cheesy? Perhaps, but it's impossible to stop a little genuine excitement slipping into your cynical smile.

Blaine Christine: They're not meant as replacements. If you're in a group, each one of the group members could still have a companion character. It's an augmentation, but that works with the solo game as well. So really they're there for you to be used when and how you see fit. Similar to other BioWare games, we don't necessarily force companion characters on you. It's a way to augment your play style.

James Ohlen: Well, there's two major differentiators for our game, we feel. One is story, and the other is combat. Well, I guess there's a third if you count Star Wars, because Star Wars allows us to kinda be fantasy without being fantasy - you know, you have to differentiate yourself and so many people are just in the fantasy genre, so Star Wars is big.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> Das erweiterte Universum von The Old Republic
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 02.12.2009 um 21:27 Uhr

Mit dem bevorstehenden Massively Multiplayer Online-Rollenspiel Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ leiten LucasArts und BioWare eine neue Star Wars™-Ära ein. Die Geschichte spielt mehr als 3.500 Jahre in der Vergangenheit der weit, weit entfernten Galaxis, zu einer Zeit, als die Jedi und die Galaktische Republik im Konflikt mit dem Sith-Imperium standen. Diese Epoche bietet nicht nur Spielern, sondern auch Fans von Star Wars-Literatur jede Menge Gelegenheiten für neue Geschichten.

Die Online-Fans kennen bereits Threat of Peace™, die Webcomic-Reihe von Rob Chestney bei BioWare. Im April wird Dark Horse Comics damit beginnen, den Comic in ein 96-seitiges Taschenbuch zu bündeln: Star Wars: The Old Republic Band 1: Threat of Peace, mit Zeichnungen von Alex Sanchez und Farben von Michael Atiyeh.

Rob Chestney, der Autor von Threat of Peace, wird außerdem eine neue, originelle The Old Republic-Kurzgeschichte schreiben, die online unter StarWars.com (Seite auf Englisch) veröffentlicht wird.

Im kommenden Juli veröffentlicht Del Rey Books Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance, einen Roman von Bestseller-Autor Sean Williams, im Hardcover-Einband. Geplant ist außerdem ein weiterer Roman zur Zeit der Alten Republik von Paul Kemp, dem Autoren des bevorstehenden Crosscurrent (Seite auf Englisch).

I'm not sure if Kepler's third law of planetary motion applies to the STAR WARS universe, but we are aware of the science behind it, and looking into how it may apply to our website animations!

MisterB is right, though: clearing your browser's cookies (there are a lot from swtor.com) and then logging in again on the front page www.swtor.com should allow your login to persist across the rest of the site.

Actually, if your City/Region field contains a hyphen (e.g. Mosel-Saar-Ruwer) leave that field set to "NA", and it should allow you to continue.

Try that, and email me at bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com if that doesn't take care of it.

Bitte beachtet, das jeder andere Schwerpunkte beim Spielen hat.

Insofern wäre ich Euch dankbar wenn die Diskussion wieder etwas mehr zurück zum Kernthema finden würde, und weg von solchen Begrifflichkeiten wie "IMBAROXXORMEGA-DPS-Kiddies".

Danke!

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 01.12.2009 um 15:23 Uhr

LucasArts and BioWare are forging a new Star Wars™ era of epic adventure with their forthcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Set more than 3,500 years in the past of the far-away galaxy, the game occurs in a time when the Jedi and the Galactic Republic clashed with the Sith Empire. It is an era rich with storytelling opportunities not only for players, but for fans of Star Wars literature.

Already, online fans are aware of Threat of Peace™, the serialized web-comic written by BioWare's Rob Chestney. This April, Dark Horse Comics begins collecting the comic into a 96-page trade paperback, Star Wars: The Old Republic Volume 1: Threat of Peace, with art by Alex Sanchez, and colors by Michael Atiyeh.

Threat of Peace author Rob Chestney is also slated to write a new, original The Old Republic short story for online publication here at StarWars.com.

Next July, Del Rey Books will publish in hardcover Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance, a novel by bestselling author Sean Williams. Now in the early planning stages is a second novel set in the Old Republic time frame, written by Paul Kemp, author of the forthcoming Crosscurrent.

Seit der Erstellung der Klassenforen für die letzten beiden gerade erst enthüllten Klassen, konnten wir einiges an Feedback dazu sammeln. Vielen war hier der Jedi-Gesandte noch im Gedächtnis, und im Ernst - wer musste den Plural von Konsul nicht googlen? Deswegen sind wir nun in der Lage, euch mitteilen zu können, dass der Konsul umbenannt wurde, und die Stufe vom Gesandten zum Botschafter glatt übersprungen hat!

Wir hoffen, dass wir damit das Gleichgewicht der Mächte wieder herstellen konnten

@ Ronndrak:
Es hört sich so an, als ob bei Dir der Fehler an der Ausführungsverhinderung bzw. an Sicherheitssoftware liegt. Wenn man das Benutzerkonto betritt, und angeklickt hat, das man am Test teilnehmen möchte, wird das Systemtestutility geladen. Klickt man dann auf "Update" bei den Systemspezifikationen, so wird es ausgeführt. Die Ursachen dafür können recht vielfältig, und auch Browserabhängig sein. Um auszuschließen, das es an Java direkt liegt, kannst Du es einmal deinstallieren und dann die Seite erneut aufrufen. Danach, bei Belieben, Java erneut installieren.

Das nur 3GB angezeigt werden, lässt darauf deuten, dass Du ein 64bit System mit einem 32bit Betriebssystem einsetzt. Auch wenn Windows 4GB und das BIOS die vollen 4GB anzeigen, können nur ca. 3.6GB adressiert werden. Deswegen werden 3GB angezeigt.

That can depend on a number of things, most of which are covered in the Rules of Conduct. Otherwise, we ask that posters exercise reasonable judgment when creating threads or posts, and be mindful that they are posting them in the correct area - certain posts that may be acceptable in one section of the Community area may be a really poor fit for another area.

If you see an inappropriate post, please flag it to bring it to the attention of our Moderators, and if you have specific questions regarding a moderated thread, the appropriate thing to do would be to email us at bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com and include information like name of the thread, and when it was deleted - so that we know exactly what we are looking for, and we will be happy to look into it for you.

Kunda is correct, there are a variety of things in Threat of Peace that are also in the game. In fact, here's an old post from the Writer (and member of the Community Team!) about this very thing:
Quote:

I know all the important information regarding the comic is on the landing page, but I wanted to offer you guys and gals in the community a more personalized introduction, since we really are developing this comic for you. Comics are an awesome medium for storytelling, and the connection between gaming and comics is firmly entrenched. Since our game is a story-based game, it seemed really appropriate to introduce some of the storylines and characters from the game in this comic format. Our hope is that the series gives you a taste of the Old Republic time period and whets your appetite for the epic stories in which YOU will be the heroes when you play the game.

Some of the characters in the comic were developed as part of my work on the game, but some of the others actually "belong" to other writers, so you can thank them for creating so many rich and compelling personalities. I hope the comic does those characters justice, and I hope even more that you guys will enjoy meeting them in the comic and then stick around to really "get to know them" in the game.


You'll notice that the art style from the comic is quite different from what you've seen of the game, and this was not by accident. The art style of the game is gorgeous, but it's really designed to highlight the heroic nature of the players and the epic stories they get involved in. In contrast, in the comic, we really want to give you guys a more grim and realistic feel for the Old Republic time period. This is a dark time for the galaxy, and Alex Sanchez's artwork really captures that. His treatment of the characters is obviously different from what you'll see in the game, but it adds a cool, edgy feel that's really appropriate to the specific storyline we're trying to tell. His pencils have the resonance of the classic Star Wars movies, yet they're still fresh and even provocative. I hope you guys dig his style as much as I do.
The other artists on the project are also incredibly talented. Michael Atiyeh's colors are rich and detailed and really make the comics "pop" on the website. Michael Heisler's also a first-class letterer, and that's an art unto itself.

It's also important here to acknowledge the contribution from Dark Horse on this project as we couldn't do it without them. Their expertise is invaluable in this, and editor Dave Marshall is a truly phenomenal fellow to work with. He's the one who brings all this together and turns it into a comic. Without getting too sappy, you guys should also know the efforts of people here at BioWare. Daniel Erickson, Alex Freed, and Hall Hood from the writing team are instrumental in whipping these scripts into shape, and of course, there are several other TOR teams who put considerable work into getting this thing together. It looks easier than it is, and that's because people around here do such high-quality work. As always, I'd also be remiss not to give a nod to LucasArts for creating Star Wars to begin with, and for their participation in the process.

I know a lot of folks would prefer these issues were a little longer, and I can assure you that if we had the time and bandwidth to produce more, we'd like that just as much as you would. In the meantime, we're trying to pack a lot of story in each of these three-page issues to keep everything moving fast and furious. It's a little different than the pacing you'd find in a traditional comic, but it's a lot of fun to experiment with the format like this, and I hope it keeps everyone interested.

In closing, I just want to thank you for checking the comic out, and for reading this long, rambling post. I promise that we'll be working hard to keep the comic coming and to keep it compelling. I look forward to hearing what you guys think as the story progresses.

Until next time,
Rob

To top it off these "big" updates were spread out across several months.

I still anticipate a making the Imperial Agent blog or video (probably next week) and I also believe a timeline update is due. While I like timeline updates it still will not reveal any significant information about the game.

So we are still at least 2-3 weeks away from even having a chance on finding out something new about the game.

I'm not complaining here, don't get that idea. But I just want everybody to have realistic expectations. I'm fine with the pace we are going at quite frankly.
fett_prime has the right idea, here, so please don't read too much into what I said. All I said in my initial post is that we will have updates every Friday through-out the rest of the year and our plan does not call for any of those Friday's to solely be an update to Threat of Peace or any Fan Friday's.

So, what will the updates be? Only time will tell. Right now, I'm just telling you what they are not planned to be.

Many of these features are available by going to your account page - which is accessed by clicking your name at the top of the screen.

Once you are in that page, you can click on "Show All Statistics" under your avatar, and it will show you either all threads that you have made, or all posts that you have made.

Also, you may have noticed two icons between your screen name, and your "My Account" button at the top of the screen. The one on the left (looks like an envelope) is for private messages and friend requests, and the one on the right (looks like a chat balloon) is for your subscribed threads. The default settings should have you subscribed to a thread once you post in it, so that is an easy way to eyeball activity in threads you have participated in. Clicking that icon will also allow you to manage (move or delete) subscriptions.

I hope that's some help, and if you have anymore specific suggestions, please feel free to post here. We're working on getting some more features implemented, so now is a great time to offer those suggestions!

Thanks,

Nachdem er einen Tipp von seinem Komplizen erhalten hat, kehrt Angral nach Korriban zurück, um den verräterischen Lord Baras zu konfrontieren. Zur selben Zeit überrascht Jedi-Meister Orgus Din den Kopfgeldjäger Braden in einer Cantina von Nar Shaddaa und verlangt von ihm, zu verraten, wer für den Angriff auf Coruscant verantwortlich ist.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 20.11.2009 um 16:56 Uhr

Wir arbeiten zur Zeit daran, das heutige Freitags-Update online zu bringen. Im gleichen Atemzug kann man ruhigen Gewissens sagen, das heute Threat of Peace, Ausgabe 20, online gehen wird. Es wird bestimmt einige unter Euch geben, denen das etwas wenig vorkommt, aber es liegt ja auch noch ein wenig Zeit vor uns.

Da auch hier nun einmal gerne geplant wird, kann ich euch schon sagen, das es bis zum Jahresende jeden Freitag ein Update geben wird, inklusive der Feiertage. Und dabei wird keines dieser Updates aus "nur" dem Webcomic bestehen.

Auch, oder gerade, weil es diese Woche etwas leichter ausfällt, würde ich euch raten, nächste Woche noch einmal reinzuschauen - genau wie den Rest des Jahres (und natürlich auch dem nächsten Jahr!)

Für diejenigen von Euch, die normalerweise nur für unsere wöchentlichen Updates vorbeischauen und noch vor dem Besuch der Seite wissen möchten was ansteht, haben wir ein paar Kleinigkeiten.

Wenn Ihr einen RSS Reader benutzt, stellt sicher, dass ihr den The Old Republic RSS News feed hinzugefügt habt.

Wir bringen die Info auch direkt vor Eure Haustür; wann auch immer wir ein Update für die offizielle Website haben, bringen wir diese auch auf einigen Social Networks. Ihr könnt Profile und Gruppen für The Old Republic auf den folgenden Seiten finden:
Und natürlich haben wir auch noch den The Old Republic Newsletter, welcher immer versandt wird, sobald wir ein größeres Update haben.

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 20.11.2009 um 16:33 Uhr

We're working on updating the website with today's update now and I wanted to go ahead and let you all know that it will be Threat of Peace #20. I anticipate that some of you may be upset by this news but before you start writing that reply, here's a few more things to hear first.

We plan on ending the year well. Looking at the roadmap on my wall, we will be doing an update every Friday throughout the rest of the year, including over the holidays. And not a single one of those is a webcomic (by itself) and no Fan Fridays (although they will be returning next year... with some new facets).

We are having a light week this week but I'd recommend checking back next week and every other week through the end of the year (and of course, come back next year!).

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

Whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:And, of course, we also have The Old Republic Newsletter which is sent out to highlight major updates and announcements.

We are aware that there is an issue with the scan picking up incorrect information, and this appears to be just a display issue. There are several fields that are hidden from users, and they seem to be getting filled with an arbitrarily designated item, however when we pull the information out on the back end, it shows up intact and accurate.

This is something we are looking into, but it should not affect your chances to be selected for testing.

Thanks for your suggestion!

This is actually something that we have considered and discussed at length. We really like the idea here, and agree that it would make finding and managing the relevant information easier - for us and our Community members, but at this time we feel that, since these systems haven't been announced yet, moving in this direction is still a little premature. It would be like dedicating a class sub-forum to a class that hadn't been announced.

tl;dr - We like the overall idea here, but don't feel that there is enough announced information to support implementing this suggestion just yet.

Thanks!

As has been pointed out in various posts in this thread, we do require testing candidates to be at least 18 years old for this phase of testing, because that is the minimum required age to enter into a legally binding agreement.

If at some point requirements change, we will definitely make sure the Community is aware of those changes and put out the information as it becomes available.

Thanks!

In terms of group scenario and gameplay options I again think that depends on how the content is designed. If encounters are more "squad based" in the archetypal military sense then group dynamics as we currently know them probably have some room for flexibility. A group of 5 troopers and 1 Jedi for example might be the norm in this game and function perfectly, where you'd need a more balanced party in other games.
When you go to spec out a character, Companion Characters also play a part in how the experience will work - not only in story, but also combat.

Thanks for the feedback. The difficult part is finding a balance between allowing a lot of duplicate posts and locking them all. We've spoken about this in our meetings and will sometimes allow new "duplicate posts" for a few situations:
1) the new post is addressing the topic in a different way
2) if the original post is old
3) if the original post is extremely long
4) if the original post has veered away from its original topic.

Either way, a good way to not have your post closed is to use to the Search feature and make sure your topic has not been discussed before. If it has, feel free to use the original thread to post your thoughts. Otherwise, the forums will be extremely cluttered and disorganized.

I've seen a few threads and posts about this and just wanted to reiterate and confirm that we have made no official statements about the business model for Star Wars: The Old Republic. When we do have information as to business model for The Old Republic, we will definitely share it with all of you and you’ll find that information here on the official website.

We only want to give you, our fans, fair and accurate information. We don’t want to tell you how we want something to work; we want to tell you how something does work. So, until a system, including the business model, is to at state where we feel we are almost 100% confident it won't be altered, we will rarely discuss it.

News and Announcements -> Writing the Jedi Knight
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 06.11.2009 um 16:55 Uhr

Senior Writer Drew Karpyshyn offers his thoughts on writing the Jedi Knight class storyline.

Quote:
Let’s start this blog off with an introduction. My name is Drew Karpyshyn. I was the lead writer on the original Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™ game, as well as the author of several Star Wars™ novels. And I’m here to tell you about the Jedi Knight character class.

Now, anyone who’s familiar with my novels Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Darth Bane: Rule of Two and the upcoming Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil might be surprised to hear I’m working on the Jedi Knight class. But I was excited to step away from the dark side so I could embrace the challenge of writing the “good guy”. (Or “girl,” of course.)

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 06.11.2009 um 16:54 Uhr

The nineteenth issue of Threat of Peace™ marks the start of the third chapter in the story, beginning with the Bounty Hunter Braden returning from his visit to Coruscant. Reporting in, Braden gets further orders from Nok Drayen, and an insightful question. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Tavus meets Jedi Knight Fortris Gall in the ruins of the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Die Enthüllung des Imperialen Agenten!
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 06.11.2009 um 16:52 Uhr

Und die nächste Klassenenthüllung ist...

Für diejenigen unter euch, die eventuell der vor kurzem stattgefundenen Electronic Arts European Press Tour beigewohnt haben, oder Artikel darüber gelesen haben, wissen bereits die Antwort darauf: Es ist der Imperiale Agent!

Der Imperiale Agent ist durch diverse klassische Star Wars Charaktäre geprägt, wie Zam Wessel und Großmoff Tarkin. Imperiale Agenten agieren hinter den Kulissen, um die Arbeit des Imperiums zu erledigen. Durch seine Spezialisierung auf Hochentwickelte Ausrüstung hat der Imperialen Agenten immer das richtige Werkzeug zur richtigen Zeit parat. Sie nutzen ihre Fähigkeiten der List und Tücke um Gegner des Imperiums mit tödlicher Effizienz zu infiltrieren und zu ermorden. Spieler, deren Wahl auf die Imperialen Agenten in The Old Republic (TOR) fällt, werden die Schattenseiten des Imperiums in einem ganz neuen Licht sehen.

Nächste Woche folgt der HoloNetz-Eintrag zum Imperialen Agenten. Bis dahin könnt Ihr Euch gerne den Spekulationen im Klassenforum des Imperialen Agenten anschließen!
 

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Die Geschichte des Jedi-Ritters
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 06.11.2009 um 16:52 Uhr

Senior Writer Drew Karpyshyn über die Geschichte der Jedi-Ritter-Klasse.
Am besten fange ich diesen Blog mit einer kurzen Vorstellung an. Ich heiße Drew Karpyshyn und war Lead Writer beim ursprünglichen Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™-Spiel sowie Autor zahlreicher Star Wars™-Romane. Ich erzähle euch heute etwas über die Charakterklasse des Jedi-Ritters.

Jeder, der meine Romane Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Darth Bane: Rule of Two und den bald erscheinenden Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil kennt, ist vielleicht überrascht, dass ich an der Jedi-Ritter-Klasse arbeite. Aber für mich war es ein aufregender Schritt, die dunkle Seite zu verlassen und die Herausforderung anzunehmen, die Geschichte für einen der guten Jungs (oder Mädchen natürlich) zu schreiben.
Mehr dazu.
 

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Threat of Peace, Ausgabe 19
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 06.11.2009 um 16:52 Uhr

Die 19. Ausgabe von Threat of Peace™ markiert den Anfang des dritten Kapitels der Geschichte und beginnt mit dem Kopfgeldjäger Braden, der von seinem Besuch auf Coruscant zurückkehrt. Beim Erstatten seines Berichts erhält Braden weitere Befehle von Nok Drayen und überdies eine aufschlussreiche Frage. In der Zwischenzeit trifft sich Lieutenant Tavus mit Jedi-Ritter Fortris Gall in den Ruinen der Jedi-Enklave auf Dantooine. Die Wahrheit über die kürzlichen Angriffe kommt langsam ans Licht.

Fans der Reihe können sich schon darauf freuen, dass der Star Wars: The Old Republic: Threat of Peace-Webcomic im Frühjahr 2010 von Dark Horse Comics als Graphic Novel veröffentlicht wird. Das Heft wird alle Ausgaben von Threat of Peace enthalten und außerdem neue, bisher unveröffentlichte Inhalte bieten.

Zu den weiteren Inhalten gehören brandneue Covergrafiken, bisher unveröffentlichte Skizzen zum Comic sowie Konzeptgrafiken zum Star Wars: The Old Republic-Spiel. Die Begleittexte werden dem Leser neue Einblicke in die Charaktere und ihre Geschichten geben und erklären, wie sie mit der Geschichte des Spielers verbunden sind.

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Threat of Peace wird im Mai 2010 in Comic-Shops und im Buchhandel erhältlich sein. Wir werden Anfang nächsten Jahres weitere Informationen zur Veröffentlichung bekanntgeben.

Werft jetzt einen Blick auf die neueste Ausgabe von Threat of Peace.

Website Feedback and Support -> MAC support on beta test?
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 05.11.2009 um 18:38 Uhr

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is currently being developed for the personal computer (PC) using the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. While we recognize that there are other operating systems and platforms available for games today, our development is specific to the personal computer using the Windows operating system at this time.

For the purposes of providing the most stable testing environment possible, we are limiting our testing participants to those using the Windows operating system on a personal computer. At some point we may be evaluating compatibility with the Macintosh (and possibly Linux boxes) running Windows and we may put out an additional call for testers at that time.

That doesn't sound like an IP Block...

It's hard to call without more information, but there has been an issue preventing users from certain Scandinavian and Balkan countries from creating an account, and that may be what is happening here. If your friends are in a country like Finland, or Serbia, try having them select another country as a temporary workaround until we get this resolved.

If trying that doesn't resolve this for them, then have them email us their information (country, region, browser & OS details, and any error messages they receive) to bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com and we will see what we can do to get them sorted out.

I'm going to look into your account now, and see what I can find out. This may take awhile (a full day) depending on how far I have to go to pull the information that I need. To help us troubleshoot, also go to http://www.swtor.com/user/register to make certain that you are opted in for the newsletter, just to make sure we have all our bases covered.

As for your friends; have them email us at bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com with details of their issue, and as much background information as they can give me. That would at least give us a starting point to work towards a solution.

However I hope you are not missing two very important problems gold sellers cause to game quality:

* Spam in game (connected with trial account abuse)
* Using automated bots to 7/24 camping same spot for loot (connected with their main account)

** If you stop their spam, you stop their advertisement, less people will find about this websites, less people will go to their websites, less people will be hacked at the end.

** If you stop their botting, less money inflation in game, also you cripple their business and eventually they'll give up making these websites.

see where I'm getting to. Of course you cannot totally stop these, but you can minimize as much as you can by implementing few simple solutions.

In this thread, we are trying to adress as much problems as possible to have a good quality game environment, so the developers can prevent before even the problem starts.
All great points that have not escaped notice!

General Discussion -> Farming Bots
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 04.11.2009 um 19:21 Uhr

One of the problems with gold selling in particular, is that it's not people who are paying for a subscription who are selling the gold. Usually this gold is coming from accounts that have been hacked by some sort of keylogging software when the account owner tries to buy gold or powerleveling services.

Usually the cycle works something like this:

A player decides to buy gold/powerleveling. They go to a website, enter their account information, email address, provide a credit card number, and download/install a keylogger. Then their account is accessed for powerleveling, or the gold they have purchased is mailed to them from another keylogged account that is compromised. Several weeks later, the person who purchased the service is completely satisfied, and forgets all about the incident, until one day they log in and find that their account has been accessed and stripped of all value (items and gold mailed to another account who has purchased a similar service for real money). They may also find that they have been sending strange emails, and using their credit card for services they never wanted, usually because the keylogger has stored all their information, including password changes (anyone who tells you that "cut/paste" beats this doesn't know).

So any solution that removes user awareness and accountability is incomplete, at best (no gaming company can stop you from giving away your account information, if that's what you really want to do). This is something that is a huge concern to all gaming companies, and there is no financial gain to the company themselves or any benefit to legitimate, fair-play subscribers when this happens.

This is a top concern of gaming companies in all sectors, and one that we are aware of and preparing to be able to address - however, it would be self defeating if we were to publicly announce what measures we are taking, because that gives those we seek to thwart advance notice.

Any one have any insight?
I can see where this might be confusing! The wookie smilies were already completed when the poll went live. I saw the droid smilies today actually and they will be going out in an an upcoming build.

GameSpot recently had the opportunity to talk with Dallas Dickinson, Director of Production, and William Wallace, Senior Game Designer, in regards to the Jedi Knight.
Quote:
GameSpot: We're pleased to be able to reveal the early details on the Jedi knight profession. This is obviously an iconic character class represented by some of the most famous characters in Star Wars fiction. Give us an overview of this profession.

Dallas Dickinson: The Jedi knight is based very much on [Samuel L. Jackson's] Mace Windu archetype [from the Phantom Menace motion picture]. He is a powerful, force-wielding warrior who will be called on to protect the galaxy from a great evil. Players should expect to be involved in a bit of intrigue but mostly to be focused on hunting down and combating the Sith and their representatives throughout the galaxy.

For thousands of years the Knights of the Jedi Order have been the guardians of peace and justice in The Old Republic. Through disciplined training and meditation, the Jedi Knights achieve perfect union of body and mind, allowing them to meet any situation with focused, fearless attention. Strengthened by the Force, they are able to turn this training into brilliant displays of lightsaber combat inspiring allies and disheartening those who would see the Republic fall.

Ansonsten sollte alles glatt gelaufen sein.

Hier sei nochmal erwähnt, das wir für Probleme während der Spieltest-Anmeldung einen gesonderten Thread eingerichtet haben, in dem auch Probleme und Lösungsansätze erwähnt werden.

Der zur Zeit am häufigsten auftretende Fehler ist nach wie vor der Bindestrich-Fehler. Auch über diesen erfahrt ihr im entsprechenden Thread mehr.

Die Probleme mit dem System Scan sollten inzwischen für fast alle gelöst sein (es gibt immer noch eine Problematik mit 64bit-Browsern), genauso wie der Looping-Bug, der einen immer wieder auf die Startseite zurückwirft.

Zitat von Yomyael
ahm.. ich dachte Kotor Online kommt erst noch raus?
Ich glaube da bringst Du was durcheinander. Es gibt kein KotOR Online. Die Rede ist hier von dem ursprünglichen Klassiker, der 2003 herausgebracht wurde.

SW:TOR spielt knapp 300 Jahre nach KotOR, ist aber ein eigenständiges Spiel, und keine Online-Version von KotOR.

In addition to what ShavedEwok mentions above, be sure to include the country you are in. Those are region specific and we need that information to make sure your issue is tracked correctly, and to ensure that you get a useable code.

I'm sorry to hear you are still having this particular issue. There are a few lingering complications that may impact 64 bit users specifically, and we are working to get those isolated and resolved ASAP. We appreciate everyone's patience while we keep working on getting those squared away.

Also, just to reiterate; just because you may have had some issues getting the scan to complete, doesn't mean that you are too late for testing. We're not making selections on a first-come, first-serve basis, and I wish the best of luck to everyone who has opted in!

Yes, we actually find both of these to be true.

One thing that we constantly have to keep in mind when moderating our forums is that discussions are organic and evolutionary, and require a dynamic approach to moderation - not a static one.

Usually we will use stickies to highlight emerging issues, or threads that have lasting reference value...But if we sticky too many threads at a time, stickies themselves become pretty worthless - both to us and to our Community members.

Also - many discussions are multi-faceted enough that forcing topics that are only superficially similar would be worse for the thread than moving it to Off Topic.

However, we appreciate the feedback and suggestion that you are offering. We are always working on balancing these forums to best serve our Community, and evaluating feedback is a large part of that! This may not be the exact suggestion that we are looking to implement, but we are definitely going to be looking into this to see if we can't find something workable!

General Discussion -> Game Testing Sign Up Issues Update
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 27.10.2009 um 17:09 Uhr

Hey Everyone,

Here's an update about the system scan.

Yesterday, we took the process apart and analyzed it from start to finish - including partner processes. We found a few possible issues, that have since been resolved, and the scan should be working now - assuming browser and java compatibility. If you have been unable to complete the scan, try it again now, and get back to us if you are still having issues.

There is still a lot of great information in the troubleshooting thread, but if you have "tried everything" and still been unable to get the scan to work, try it again. We anticipate you will be able to complete it - assuming browser compatibility and Java version.

We appreciate your patience while we worked on this, and wish you the best of luck getting into testing!

Thanks!

Is this just the scan utility returning incorrect information? I've noticed that a lot of instances where this has happened has simply been the information being displayed to the end user being incorrect and that the information in the database is supposedly correct.

There is an issue with the scan detecting the wrong item in a slot, or possibly mixing slots up. This is something that we have looked into extensively, and it seems to be primarily a display issue; when we pull the information out of the back end, it seems to be intact and complete. Also, this should not affect your chances to be selected for testing!

Thanks for reporting this to us.

Thanks for your constructive feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve the Community experience, and of course, it helps us to know from a user standpoint, in constructive language, what is and what is not working.

Striking a balance in instances like this is hard, and we are in the process of weighing what we are doing now against what we could do to improve the ease of networking and conversation here in our Community forums, and feedback is a valuable part of that evaluation.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is "We're looking into it now to see what we can do to better meet the needs of our Community!"

Hallo Leute,

wir brauchen zur Zeit mehr Details, um dem derzeitig gehäuft auftrenden Problem mit dem System Scan auf die Pelle rücken zu können. Darum möchte ich jeden, der diese Probleme hat, bitten, uns folgende Informationen zukommen zu lassen:
  • Betriebssystem + Patchstand (SP1, SP2, usw.)
  • Java-Version
  • Browser (incl. Version)
  • Befindet sich Euer PC hinter einem Router?
  • Für Profis: Wenn ja, steht Euer PC in der DMZ?
  • Sicherheitssoftware (Firewall, Virenscanner, Adblocker etc.)

So kriegt ihr raus, welche Java-Version ihr installiert habt

Windows XP:
Start -> Ausführen -> CMD eingeben und Enter drücken.

Windows Vista / Windows 7:
Start -> In das Suchfeld CMD eingeben und Enter drücken.

Im nun erschienen Eingabefenster gebt ihr einfach folgendes ein:
java -version

Hier seht ihr jetzt die installierte Version. Danach könnt ihr das Fenster bedenkenlos schließen.

Danke schon einmal im Vorraus!

Hi Taars,

das hat mehrere Gründe.
Zum einen wird ein Spiel getestet, das in Deutschland noch keine Altersfreigabe erhalten hat. Dementsprechend gehen wir damit automatisch damit um, als wäre es ein 18+ Titel.

Zum anderen müssen zum Testen mehrere Dokumente rechtskräftig bestätigt werden. Auch hierfür muss man 18+ sein.

Punkt 3 und 4 werden mit ziemlicher Sicherheit gegen die Reglementierungen und Bestimmungen in besagten Dokumenten verstoßen, dementsprechend: Lieber sein lassen.

Das gilt allerdings nur für diese Phase des Tests. Zu späteren Phasen kann sich das durchaus ändern.

Ich hoffe damit sind Deine Fragen beantwortet

Character Classes -> Lightsaber Dagger
Beitrag von RobChestney am 23.10.2009 um 23:40 Uhr

I always love it when you guys pick up on stuff in the comic. I try to sneak in as many game content hints as I can. At least that way, whatever you may feel about the art or the story, there's still something there to make it worth reading.

The weapon in question here is actually a supercharged Imperial vibroblade. It's shorter than the traditional vibroblade--designed for one-shot stealth attacks. The blade's powercell releases one massive jolt of energy when the weapon hits its target, rendering it largely useless afterward, but usually, of course, the target is in pretty much the same state.

Will you get to wield these weapons in the game? I can neither confirm nor deny that. Suffice to say, if you do, don't bother trying it against Baras. Electricity is practically running through his veins in the first place. You don't want to wind up like the would-be assassin the comic. Maybe if you try two?

Update:

Wir sind vor kurzem auf einen Fehler bei der Anmeldung zum Star Wars: The Old Republic Spieltest gestoßen, der im Zusammenhang mit der 64-bit Version des Internet Explorers auf Windows 64-bit Plattformen auftritt. Wenn ihr den Internet Explorer 64-bit benutzt, wird das Systemscan-Programm entweder fehlschlagen, oder es wird fälschlicherweise melden, dass der Scan erfolgreich abgeschlossen wurde und die Daten abschicken, was nicht der Fall ist.

Aus diesem Grund möchten wir die User dazu ermutigen, entweder die 32-bit Version des Internet Explorers für die Anmeldung zum Star Wars: The Old Republic Spieltests zu nutzen, oder zu einem alternativen unterstützten Browser zu wechseln. Wenn ihr ein Windows 64-bit System nutzt, könnt ihr die Version des Internet Explorers identifizieren, indem ihr den Task-Manager öffnet und auf die Prozessliste klickt. Dort findet ihr iexplore.exe. Wenn ihr die 32-bit Version nutzt, wird dieser Prozess als iexplore.exe *32 angezeigt. Nutzt ihr die 64-bit Version, wird er als iexplore.exe angezeigt.

Um zur 32-bit Version des Internet Explorers zu wechseln, wählt einfach das Programm das als Internet Explorer (nicht Internet Explorer 64-bit) in eurem Startmenü angezeigt wird.

Wir versuchen zur Zeit, mehr Informationen zu diesem Problem zu sammeln, um eine Lösung zu finden. Wir entschuldigen uns für jedwede Unannehmlichkeit.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Die Schlacht von Bothawui
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 23.10.2009 um 12:16 Uhr

Eine neue Holoaufzeichnung in den Jedi-Archiven befasst sich mit einem entscheidenden Moment in der neueren Geschichte der Republik. Meister Gnost-Dural erzählt von der Schlacht von Bothawui, in der der Mut und die Opferbereitschaft der Jedi und republikanischen Truppen einen wichtigen Sieg gegen das Sith-Imperium sicherten.

18 VVC – Fast ein Jahrzehnt nach der Rückkehr des Sith-Imperiums und dem Beginn des Großen Krieges hatte das Imperium Dutzende Siege erringen können und seine Herrschaft im Outer Rim gefestigt. Die Sith wandten sich nun dem Mid Rim zu, doch die Republik hielt eine große Überraschung für sie parat. Als eine imperiale Schwadron sich Bothawui näherte, um dort die Herrschaft zu übernehmen, wartete die gesamte republikanische Flotte auf sie. Der Sieg der Flotte wurde in der ganzen Galaxis gefeiert, doch der wirklich beeindruckende Moment sollte erst noch folgen. Als die Flotte der Republik sich zurückzog, um andere Fronten zu verteidigen, blieb nur ein kleiner Teil zurück, um sich der Rache des Imperiums zu stellen. Die Jedi und die republikanischen Soldaten auf Bothawui hatten niemals eine Chance, den Angriff des Imperiums zu überleben, doch ihr Mut und ihre Selbstlosigkeit im Kampf um das Unmögliche brachten einen größeren Sieg ein, als jede gewöhnliche Schlacht es vermocht hätte. Der heldenhafte Kampf auf Bothawui brachte der Galaxis die Hoffnung zurück und machte den republikanischen Truppen Mut für die kommenden Schlachten.

Seht euch die fünfte Zeitlinien-Holoaufzeichnung Die Schlacht von Bothawui mit der Stimme von Tilo Schmitz an.

Posted in the stickied Known Issues thread as well...

Hi all,

We've recently encountered an error with the Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Testing sign up page and users of the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer on Windows 64-bit platforms. When using Internet Explorer 64-bit, the system scanning program will either fail, or it will appear to have completed properly and submit your data, but it will actually fail to scan your system or submit your specifications to BioWare.

For this reason, we are encouraging users to either use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer when signing up for the STAR WARS: The Old Republic testing process, or to switch to another supported browser. To identify the version of Internet Explorer you are using, bring up the Task Manager and select the Processes tab. Then find iexplore.exe. If you are using the 32-bit version, it will say iexplore.exe *32. If you are using the 64-bit version, it will say iexplore.exe.

To switch to the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, simply choose the program listed as Internet Explorer (not Internet Explorer 64-bit) program from your Start Menu.

We are in the process of getting more information about this issue in order to find a resolution. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Website Feedback and Support -> Anchor Tags and You (A Guide)
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 22.10.2009 um 21:21 Uhr

Hi all,

We've implemented some new vBulletin code that we wish to share with you all -- the Anchor tag. This code isn't available in the posting toolbar, which means it is a little more advanced than your standard vBulletin codes. However, it should prove useful for guild threads, role-playing threads, and those helpful guides that the community has created.

The Anchor Tag allows the user to jump to a specific place within a post. You can do so by using the following code around your text:

Wrap the jumpto tag around your text you wish to serve as a link:

[jumpto="anchor1"]Link Text[/jumpto]

Then wrap the aname tag around the place you want the link to lead to.

[aname="anchor1"]Target Text[/aname]

This will result in the text with the jumpto tag sending the user to the text with the aname tag every time they click it. For instance, the following code:
Quote:
[jumpto="anchor1"]Click here to jump to the bottom[/jumpto]

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque ullamcorper odio interdum nunc tincidunt commodo. Cras et risus nec lectus lobortis dictum vel sit amet risus. Nunc tempus lacus vehicula mi scelerisque vitae posuere sem dictum. Suspendisse arcu lacus, fermentum vitae mattis non, tempus id urna. Nunc condimentum, ligula quis ultrices luctus, erat lacus hendrerit lectus, ut tincidunt risus enim a neque. Nam consequat odio quis lacus consectetur ac commodo ipsum blandit. Cras diam dui, pretium nec iaculis sit amet.

[aname="anchor1"]The bottom[/aname]
...will get you this:
Quote:
Click here to jump to the bottom

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque ullamcorper odio interdum nunc tincidunt commodo. Cras et risus nec lectus lobortis dictum vel sit amet risus. Nunc tempus lacus vehicula mi scelerisque vitae posuere sem dictum. Suspendisse arcu lacus, fermentum vitae mattis non, tempus id urna. Nunc condimentum, ligula quis ultrices luctus, erat lacus hendrerit lectus, ut tincidunt risus enim a neque. Nam consequat odio quis lacus consectetur ac commodo ipsum blandit. Cras diam dui, pretium nec iaculis sit amet.

The bottom
Although more evident on longer posts, this will move your browser's attention to the text associated with the [aname] tag.

Some various tips for the Anchor tag:
  • The text in the jumpto tag that says anchor1 can be anything you like (such as [jumpto="jump"]), as long as it matches the text in the aname tag.
  • You can have multiple anchor tags in one post. Just simply input a different name into each unique jumpto/aname tag (such as [jumpto="Anchor1"], [jumpto="Anchor1"], etc). Once again, remember to match the jumpto tag to the proper aname tag.
  • You can use the tags in reverse! If you put your aname tag text in front of the jumpto tag text, clicking the jumpto tag will cause the browser to jump up to the aname tag. This is useful if you want to add a little link at the bottom of a long post that allows the user to jump back up to the beginning.

Hopefully the community finds this new tag useful. In addition, we may look at implementing other custom tags in the future.

I live in the UK and I am triple checked my details in both my account area and when filling the data in to try and become a tester.

Hi Maxjam,

Macs are not supported at this time since the game is only available for PC.

For your other issue - does your city happen to have a hyphen in the name? If so, try it without the hyphen and let me know if it doesn't work. (This issue should be fixed in an upcoming build)

General Discussion -> Happy Forum Anniversary TOR!
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 21.10.2009 um 18:04 Uhr

Happy Anniversary! My favorite moments:
  • Seeing the community reaction for TOR videos like the CG trailer and Developer Walkthrough.
  • Fansite video dissections
  • Hardcore Aurebesh translators who translate all of the Easter Eggs on the site.
  • Star Wars pick up lines thread.
  • BBY confusion thread.
  • Going to answer a question and finding that 10 people have posted an answer while I was typing.
  • Laughing at threads when I know I shouldn't
  • And most of all helping build an awesome team of Community Reps and Coordinators and working with some of the most dedication fans and one of the best companies in the business (in my humble opinion).

General Discussion -> Making Threads that are Memorable
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 20.10.2009 um 21:52 Uhr

Star Wars: The Old Republic has developed a large fan community since it was announced in 2008. Although the game’s followers have spread to the far reaches of the Internet, there is still a central focus based in BioWare’s official forums. When users go to SW:TOR forums and look for those threads that really stand out, what are they looking for? Now that you are familiar with how the forums work, this article will focus on what can be done to make sure other members understand and remember the threads you create.


Should I make a thread?

Before you hit the “New Thread” button, you need to make sure that your idea is unique and isn’t being discussed elsewhere on the boards. To do this, you need to search using key words relevant to whatever topic you are interested in. If your idea is already discussed somewhere on the boards, but you still have more to say, post your thoughts on the thread that is already discussing the issue. If, and only if, you can’t find any other threads about the topic, then hit the “New Thread” button and get started.

What Forum should I post it in?

When creating your own threads, just understanding the general forum architecture may not be enough, you need to make your forum choice very carefully. Focus on where you think it belongs. While it might be an easy stand-by, not all posts belong in the “General Discussion” forum. Many of the best ideas belong in the “Suggestions” forums and lore questions should be in the “Star Wars Discussion” forum. Be careful in a choosing location, otherwise you may make the wrong impression to the community and the developers.



What should I title my thread?

The title of a thread really does make all the difference. If you are making a thread about PVP, then naming your thread “I’m fed up with life” will cause you to lose the attention of anyone who is looking for something useful or interesting. However, if you make a thread called, “PvP Contested Worlds,” then someone may decide that it is worth a read.

Can I just type out a sentence and hope to get some replies?

No, you should never just type out, “Hey, I want pvp contested worlds, what do you think?” Your topic will be immediately dismissed by anyone who really cares about the topic. Everyone who has a long processed thought will skip over your thread and keep looking for a well thought out thread to post on.

Ok, then what do I need in a Thread?

There are three things you need when crafting a thread. The first thing you need is your unique idea. Flush out your idea as completely as you can, adding every relevant point you can think of. Grammar and spell check it, and make sure that, when you read it back, it flows well. If you get lost somewhere in what you wrote, more than likely there is a flaw that needs correcting. If your points are clear and well made, then you’ll get more readers and better replies.

Second thing you need is to reference other people’s ideas that inspired you. If someone made a post that helped your thinking go in the right direction then mention them, their idea, and a link to the other thread. If you came up with it all on your own, but during your time with the search button you found something that was similar, then mention it. You may not have had the idea because of it, but it’s a pretty sure thing that they will notice that your idea is a little bit like theirs. You should always make sure to give credit where credit is due.

The third and final thing you need in any thread is a thank you, and question to those reading it: “Do you think that my idea would work?”, “How would you like to see PvP?”, “Any thoughts?” This is the place for that single question that will get people thinking about they feel, and inspire them to post on your thread. Also, a clear, concise final question can help make sure the following conversation is pointed in the direction you want it to go, without getting as easily caught up in semantics and minutia.

Ok, I made my topic and people are talking, now what?

If you want to continue the conversation, you’ll need to reply to points brought up by other forum members. If you are replying to the post above where yours will be, or the original poster, you do not need to frame your response with a quote. On the other hand, a quote should be used when you are posting 3 or 4 posts after the person you are responding to, or if you are quoting something from another thread. If you apply these same principles to the way you reply to a thread, then your replies will many times be helpful rather than simple statements like, “This idea ROCKS!”



Being an active member of the community often involves letting others know what you are thinking by creating new threads. Following these helpful hints could make you much more successful with your own topics on the forums. So hit the search button, organize your thoughts, and let everyone else out there in on your unique views, ideas, and suggestions!

General Discussion -> Question To Bioware - 30 ATC Or Not?
Beitrag von RobChestney am 16.10.2009 um 16:32 Uhr

There has been some confusion about this due to a press release which mis-stated the dates. The time in which the game begins is less than 10 years after the Treaty of Coruscant. In general, we've tried to keep this a little vague, because the Old Republic doesn't take place in a single moment of history but over a period of a few years. Suffice to say, the Treaty's been in place long enough for it to start fraying at the edges.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 12.10.2009 um 16:19 Uhr

Wir lesen grundsätzlich so viel wie wir können. Dabei kommt es immer darauf an, wieviel zur Zeit im Forum los ist.

Dabei ist auch wichtig, das man selber entsprechendes in die richtigen Foren postet. Hier, im Offtopic, eine Frage an die mods zu posten, ist eventuell eher suboptimal. Sowas könnte man auch als PM schicken.

Wir leiten ebenfalls grundsätzlich jeden Vorschlag weiter, der auch innerhalb der Community vernünftig diskutiert wurde. Dabei sollte das ganze allerdings realistisch betrachtet werden. Manche Features sind eventuell längst geplant, und nur noch nicht angekündigt; andere können schlicht aufgrund technischer Limitationen nicht eingebaut werden.

Deshalb - ja, wir lesen

We identified an issue and we're fixing it now. This shouldn't be affecting most people and if you happen to be, a CNTRL-Refresh will usually fix it. The problem itself will be fixed within the next 30 minutes, though.

Von der imposanten Skyline bis hin zu den dunklen und zwielichtigen Untergrund-Ebenen - die dynamische Stadtwelt Coruscant ist das Werk eines riesigen Entwicklerteams. Seht euch unseren neuesten Entwicklerbericht Die Entstehung von Coruscant an und lasst euch die Entstehungsgeschichte des Hauptplaneten der Republik von den untersten Stufen bis zum höchsten Wolkenkratzer erzählen.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 09.10.2009 um 14:14 Uhr

Die 17. Ausgabe von Threat of Peace™ beginnt damit, dass Lieutenant Tavus Jedi-Ritter Satele Shan auf nicht sonderlich geschickte Art Avancen macht. Ein peinlicher Moment entsteht nur deshalb nicht, weil die beiden gerade auf Dantooine ankommen, um sich dort um einen weiteren republikanischen Außenposten zu kümmern, dessen Truppen nicht abgezogen wurden. Im Verlauf des Gesprächs mit dem sturen republikanischen Major trifft die Nachricht vom Tod Meister Zyms und dem Bombenanschlag auf das Senatsgebäude ein ...

General Discussion -> Friday's Update - October 9th, 2009
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 08.10.2009 um 16:07 Uhr

First, I want to thank everyone not just for their patience last week but all of their help in diagnosing issues. We knew there would be a lot of excitement and anticipation for our Game Testing program but to see that kind of response even before we put out any external announcements... it was quite humbling.

Since this is a "Friday's Update" thread, I gather I should clue you into what this week's update is. Well, of course, we have Threat of Peace #17 going out tomorrow. Also, we have a special announce about Threat of Peace going out next week (more info then).

In addition, we have our next installment of the Developer Dispatch series. I am sure some of you can already guess the subject matter but if you're not sure, make sure to check back tomorrow!

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

Whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:And, of course, we also have The Old Republic Newsletter which is sent out to highlight major updates and announcements.

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Dieses Freitags-Update [08.10.2009]!
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 08.10.2009 um 16:05 Uhr

Als erstes: Ein großes Danke an alle! Nicht nur für Eure Geduld während der letzten Woche, sondern auch wegen der Hilfe beim identifizieren der Fehler. Wir wussten, dass es eine Menge Aufregung und Vorfreude bezüglich des Spieltest-Programms geben würde, aber eine derartige Rückmeldung zu sehen, bevor wir überhaupt irgendwelche externen Ankündigungen gemacht haben... sowas flößt einem Ehrfurcht ein.

Da es sich um einen "Freitags-Update" Thread handelt, muss ich jetzt wahrscheinlich etwas über das Freitags-Update schreiben. Natürlich werden wir, wie üblich, den nächsten Threat of Peace-Teil Verfügbar machen. Ebenso werden wir in der nächsten Woche eine spezielle Ankündigung zu Threat of Peace verfügbar machen - mehr Infos dazu, wenn es soweit ist.

Zusätzlich werden wir auch noch den nächsten Beitrag aus der Reihe der Entwicklerberichte für Euch bereitstellen. Ich kann mir fast denken das einige von Euch bereits das Thema kennen, aber wenn Ihr Euch nicht sicher seid, schaut morgen nochmal vorbei!

Für diejenigen von Euch, die normalerweise nur für unsere wöchentlichen Updates vorbeischauen und noch vor dem Besuch der Seite wissen möchten was ansteht, haben wir ein paar Kleinigkeiten.

Wenn Ihr einen RSS Reader benutzt, stellt sicher, dass ihr den The Old Republic RSS News feed hinzugefügt habt.

Wir bringen die Info auch direkt vor Eure Haustür; wann auch immer wir ein Update für die offizielle Website haben, bringen wir diese auch auf einigen Social Networks. Ihr könnt Profile und Gruppen für The Old Republic auf den folgenden Seiten finden:
Und natürlich haben wir auch noch den The Old Republic Newsletter, welcher immer versandt wird wenn wir ein großes Update haben.

Danke das dies mal gesagt wurde.
Nur, um das nochmal von offizieller Seite etwas zu erläutern:

BioWare und Mythic haben sich nicht zusammengeschlossen. Stattdessen gehören sie jetzt einer neu entstandenen Abteilung an, die von Ray Muzyka geleitet wird, genannt "RPG/MMO Group". Beide Studios werden auch weiterhin großartige Spiele erschaffen und an ihren eigenen Projekten arbeiten. Das ändert nichts für The Old Republic, es bedeutet nur, dass beide Studios künftig/von jetzt an sowohl von der Leitung und den Visionen der RPG/MMO Gruppe profitieren werden, als auch besseren Zugriff auf ihr gegenseitiges Wissen und Können haben.

Und der Witz an der Sache wenn ich eingelogt bin und will auf Profil kommt die Seite von der neu reg.?????
Hey Danmarkpower,

der Bug mit dem ständigen Ein- und Ausloggen ist bekannt, es wird daran gearbeitet. Bis dahin könnte es helfen wenn Du alle Cookies löscht, die von SWTOR.com ausgegeben werden. Ich möchte hier aber nochmal klarstellen, das es sich nicht um eine Beta, sondern um einen Focus Test handelt. Genausowenig wurden Codes irgendwelcher Art versandt. Desweiteren reden wir hier von einem Code für Knights of the Old Republic, ein Single-Player Spiel.

Hallo liebe User,

es freut mich Euch mitteilen zu können, dass die diversen Telefonate endlich Früchte getragen haben. Im Laufe des Wochenendes sollten die Codes für 25% Ermäßigung beim Kauf von Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic bei Euch in den Postfächern eintrudeln. Um sicherzustellen, das die Mails auch ihr Ziel Erreichen, überprüft noch einmal in euren Kontooptionen, ob dort auch wirklich Deutschland als Heimatland eingestellt ist. Ebenfalls sollte sich die Domain swtor.com samt sämtlicher Subdomains (mail.swtor.com, bioware.swtor.com) auf der Whitelist Eures Spamfilters befinden, damit die Mails nicht versehentlich abgefangen werden.

Benutzt bitte den folgenden Link, um auf die Deutsche Version des Downloads bei Direct 2 Drive zugreifen zu können, der Code wird nur für diese gültig sein:

Ich wünsche Euch viel Spaß mit Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic!

Quote:
Think back to when you first watched Star Wars™: A New Hope™ — to the moment when Darth Vader enters the besieged Republic ship, surveying the carnage, single-mindedly hunting his target, Princess Leia. If you were like me, your eyes bulged and you thought, “I wanna be that guy.”

Now, maybe I was alone in that visceral response. Maybe it reveals something disturbing about me, I don’t know. On subsequent screenings, I seem to recall hearing a chorus of hisses and boos when Vader emerges. So maybe most of the Star Wars™ fan community are Luke lovers, or Solo sycophants . But something tells me there are more of me out there. And all these years, like me, you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to express your inner Vader.

Well, I’m here to tell you, our time has come.

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Die Geschichte des Sith-Kriegers
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 02.10.2009 um 17:54 Uhr

Autor Neil Pollner gewährt uns einen kleinen Einblick in die Entstehung des Sith-Kriegers - der unaufhaltbaren, dunklen Macht.
Zitat:
Denkt daran zurück, als ihr das erste Mal Star Wars™: Eine neue Hoffnung™ gesehen habt — an den Moment, als Darth Vader das belagerte republikanische Schiff betritt, das Chaos begutachtet und zielstrebig sein Ziel jagt, Prinzessin Leia. Wenn es euch so ging wie mir, dann habt ihr große Augen bekommen und euch gedacht: "Ich will dieser Kerl sein!"

Doch vielleicht hab auch nur ich so reagiert. Vielleicht sollte mir das zu denken geben, ich weiß es nicht. Ich glaube, mich bei späteren Vorführungen an Buhrufe und Pfiffe erinnern zu können, wenn Vader erschien. Vielleicht besteht der Großteil der Star Wars™-Fans ja aus Luke-Liebhabern oder Solo-Stiefelleckern. Aber etwas sagt mir, dass es mehr von meiner Sorte da draußen gibt. Und in all diesen Jahren habt ihr nur wie ich darauf gewartet, euren inneren Vader entfesseln zu können.

Tja, dann lasst euch sagen, unsere Zeit ist gekommen.
Den Rest des Eintrags könnt Ihr hier lesen.

Falls Ihr die Neuigkeit verpasst haben solltet - wir haben ebenfalls die Anmeldemöglichkeit für den ersten Spieltest online gestellt!
Und für alle, die den Developer Walkthrough noch nicht gesehen haben, haben wir diesen jetzt ebenfalls auf SWTOR.com gehostet.

I apologize for not posting this earlier. The last few days we've been doing our best to track down any issues with Game Tester Sign-Ups and getting that information to the appropriate teams.

This week, our big announcement was just that; Game Tester Sign-Ups. That said, tomorrow we will also be releasing a Developer Blog.

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

Whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:And, of course, we also have The Old Republic Newsletter which is sent out to highlight major updates and announcements.

If your country happens to be one of the ones not currently working, we'd ask that you sign up for Game Testing at a later date. We are currently working to address this issue and when we have it fixed, we'll notify everyone. I know some people want to sign up now because they feel it will give them a better chance to get into our Game Testing program. This is not the case; the order in which people sign up has no bearing on how we select applicants.

Any thoughts?
We are working on an update that shows all components. Currently, if you have multiple components of a single type (for example, integrated soundcards as well as one in your PCI slot, or Video Cards in SLI), the display is only show the end-user one of those (randomly). In the database, though, we are capturing all components. I went over to the team and looked at the database to verify this... we even have someone who signed up that has four (4) video cards installed in his or her system. Yes, I know... four! One of the updates being worked on will display all components to you before you submit and not just one.

Sounds like you're having the same "looping" issues as others. Here is our most recent update on this problem:

Zitat von Stardanzer
Wäre es nicht sinnvoll das Häkchenwort "Abschliessen" gegen "Abgeschlossen" oder "Erledigt" auszutauschen?
Abschliessen drückt ja eigentlich aus, dass noch eine abschliessende Handlung vorgenommen werden muss...

Wenn das auf dem Bild der "Ihre Bewerbung wurde gespeichert"-Status ist, wäre "Abgeschlossen" oder "Erledigt" eindeutig klarer und würde weitere Nachfragen reduzieren. Alternativ könnte natürlich auch "Ihre Bewerbung wurde gespeichert" angezeigt werden.
Ist soeben per Mail rausgegangen, da es sich aber um eine vergleichsweise kleine Sache handelt kann ich nicht sagen wie schnell das geändert wird.

Zitat von Gadwin
Mal was anderes, ich kann kein Bundesland angeben bzw. wird das nicht übernommen, es wird nur bei k.A. übernommen. Ist für mich Persönlich jetzt nicht so schlimm, da ich bereits für den Test angemeldet bin und auch die Systemanalyse erfolgreich abgeschlossen habe, doch finde ich es komisch wenn man nach dem Bundesland gefragt wird und es aber nicht ohne Probleme Angeben kann.
Das Bundesland soll eigentlich relevant sein, mit der Formatierung mancher Bundesländer hat sich hier aber leider ein Bug eingeschlichen. Dementsprechend ist momentan das auslassen des Bundeslandes eine probate Methode um den zu umgehen. Es wird aber momentan versucht auch das zu fixen.

ein paar fragen an dieser stelle, sofern du schon etwas dazu sagen darfst und sofern schon genaues dazu bekannt ist.


wird der test auch in den unterschiedlichen sprachversionen stattfinden?
wird es möglich sein zwischen den einzelnen version hin und her zu wechseln?


nicht dass ich ein problem mit englisch hätte, aber in guildwars ist mir damals mehrmals aufgefallen, dass skills falsch übersetzt waren.

im englischen stand da etwas von x dmg und im deutschen von y. so was kommt ja vor, wenn man werte ändert aber in der anderen sprachversion dann die übersetzung nicht anpasst.
Wenn ich dazu jetzt etwas sagen würde, dann würde ich darauf wetten das ich morgen auf einigen Fanseiten und Blogs lesen würde "Deutscher CM dementiert / bestätigt language switch feature!"

If I accept the terms, it takes me to the contact info page, and when I finish that, it takes me back to the Terms and Agreement page.
Further, if I go back to the Account, the selected option is ''No, thanks'' and not the ''Yes...'' option. It doesn't save it.

I think it isn't saving any of the changes eventhough I do click save in the account page.
Just wondering, are you using www.swtor.com or swtor.com (without the www)?

We are investigating this issue. Currently it appears as if you update each piece individually through "My Account", you can bypass this issue.
  • Go to My Account.
  • Select "Yes, I would like to be considered for testing." (Radio Button) and a save.
  • From My Account, go to "System Specifications" and click on the "Update" button.
  • From My Account, go to Contact Info and click on the "Edit" button.

If you haven't noticed it, we announced that we are currently accepting sign-ups for our Game Testing program. If you haven't had a chance yet, please view our Game Tester Frequently Asked Questions.

We recognize and have heard from some of you that there are some difficulties in registering with us, and want you to know that we are working to provide you with ongoing solutions. We will be updating this post regularly with new information.
  • Will signing up today increase my chances of being selected to test Star Wars: The Old Republic?
    No, we will be selecting testers from the Star Wars: The Old Republic community based on various requirements such as systems specifications, age, and region. The order in which you sign up for testing has no bearing on the selection process.
  • When I fill out the personal data, it sends me back to the Game Tester Terms & Conditions.
    Please ensure that all information is filled out in your BASIC account info and that you have selected (radio button) "Yes, I would like to be considered for testing."
  • The system scan isn't working properly.
    Please make sure to have the most recent version of Java installed on your computer (you may have to restart your browser if you install or update Java). Also, ensure that you are accepting the ActiveX request at the top of the page.
  • I am getting stuck on accepting the Terms of Service.
    Clean out your temporary internet files and cookies for swtor.com. To learn more about cookies, visit this website.
  • I am unable to get past the Account Information Page when signing up for Star Wars: The Old Republic Game Testing. It continues to loop.
    We are currently working on a resolution to this issue. You may also wish to fill in the alternate phone number, listed as phone (other), as it has rectified this issue for some users. Also, many community members have been recommending the following:

    Please make sure you are using one of the following supported browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0+ and Firefox 3.0+. We also recommend enabling JavaScript, ActiveX, and using the latest browser plug-ins for Adobe Flash Player.
  • I receive an error message stating that my Phone Number is too long.
    You only need to enter your city code and the phone number. The formatting isn't important. If you've used the international country code (i.e. 0049 or +49 for Germany), it may be that the number is too long.
  • When I have to re-do the Contact Information after being sent back to the Terms & Conditions, the Country is always reset to the United States.
    This is a known issue. Please make sure, that you're entering your respective country on every try (Germany, Swiss or Austria), to be selected for the according test phases!
  • I have not received my validation email yet when attempting to sign up.
    The Old Republic community members using either Hotmail or Yahoo email providers may not be receiving transactional emails at this time. This includes validation and password recovery emails. We are looking into the situation and will update you when we can.

If you are having a problem that isn't listed above or none of the above fixes the issue you are having, please reply here. Also, please be as detailed as possible in your post, specifying what browser and operating system you are using (to include what version).

Danke für die Info... Aber machst du denn keine Mittagspause? :P

Vermute ein Vorteil von dem stark beschränkten Content ist auch, dass nicht auf einen Schlag millionen von Fehlern in Foren (oder gibts ein Bugtracking-System?
Wird man denn irgendwann noch genauer darüber benachrichtigt, nach was für Fehlern man ausschau halten soll, oder bleibt das offen? Ich meine wenn das Spiel z.B. nicht unter Windows 7 startet ist das klar ein Fehler, aber sollten beispielsweise Verzögerungen bei der Chateingabe auch gemeldet werden?

Näheres zu den Testumgebungen und -bedingungen erfahrt Ihr erst, wenn Ihr ausgewählt wurdet. Grundsätzlich sollte aber immer ausnahmslos alles gemeldet werden.

Bezüglich des Sign-Ups: Wenn Ihr auf http://www.swtor.com/de/tester geht und dort das feld "Benutzerkontodaten aktualisieren" seht, dann seid ihr angemeldet.

Hier darf und soll natürlich grundsätzlich alles rund um den Test diskutiert werden können. Dazu gehört kritik, sofern sie vernünftig ausgedrückt ist, genauso wie auch Fragen zu Begrifflichkeiten. Wer freundlich und konstruktiv bleibt wird also auch nicht gelöscht
Bezüglich des Unterschied zwischen Focus Test und Beta:
In der Regel kriegt in einer Beta eine große Menge von Spielern Zugriff auf ein größtenteils komplettes, aber nicht fehlerfreies Produkt. Manchmal kann es passieren, das etwas Content, der noch nicht so weit war, nachgereicht wird - aber im Großen und Ganzen ist da Spiel frei begehbar.

Bei einem Focus Test wird die Gruppe der Tester stark eingeschränkt, um spezifischere Probleme abzuarbeiten, die den Entwicklern (unabhängig vom Entwicklungsstand) eventuell Probleme bereiten oder in unabhängigen Gruppen getestet werden müssen. Ausserdem wird so verhindert das quasi sofort die ganze Geschichte, die nunmal einer der Hauptpunkte bei TOR ist, sofort allen zur Verfügung steht. Außerdem ist es so einfacher, die Einhaltung der Schweigepflicht zu gewährleisten.

Beides sind in jedem Fall recht "Weiche" Begriffe, die an bestimmten Stellen ineinander übergehen können. Der Focus Test von TOR ist in dieser Hinsicht aber recht eindeutig.

Ist dieser fehler nun sehr gravierend sodass allgemeine fehlinformationen vorliegen oder liegt es an der datenbank des progammes? das z.b. verschiedene bezeichnungen benutzt werden.

mfg

ps: letzteres kann aktuell an Win XP liegen - Vista kommt aber die tage. werde dann das programm nocheinmal drüberlaufen lassen. Eventuell hat sich das problem damit dann auch schon in luft aufgelößt, doch wollte ich zur sicherheit mal nachfragen.

ps2: Wer weiterhin probleme mit dem loop hat, dem kann ich das Firefox addon "Lazarus" empfehlen. hatte es damit geschafft mich zu registrieren. Danke an "Aidan_Pride" für diese hilfe.

mfg

Bzgl. des 3GB Problems:
Du wirst wahrscheinlich ein WinXP 32bit installiert haben. das kann nur maximal 3.6GB anstatt 4GB adressieren, und wird als 3GB angezeigt.

Bzgl. der Grafikkarte:
0x9490 ist die einzigartige Hardware Vendor ID für die HD4670, die scheinbar einfach in der für den Test genutzten Liste nicht dabei war. Das kann aber intern nachgeregelt werden, keine Angst.

Bzgl. Firefox 3.5.3:
Sollte eigentlich funktionieren, ich habe die Prozedur selber mit diesem Browser abgeschlossen. 3.5.X gehört ebenfalls zu den getesteten Versionen. Jake, könntest Du bitte einen Screenshot der Fehlermeldung verlinken? Dann trete ich unseren Amis nochmal auf die Füße, sobald sie wieder wach sind
Bzgl. des Webcam-Problems:
Der Scan erkennt mehr oder weniger den ersten Default-Adapter den er sieht. Das kann in solchen Fällen auch das Mikro einer Webcam sein, da jede Webcam über einen Soundchip verfügt und deshalb als Soundkarte eingetragen wird (in der Regel hast Du in der Hardwareliste immer einen Punkt für die Cam sowie für deren Mikrofon).

Desweiteren werde ich hier jetzt mal etwas aufräumen, denn hier sollen Probleme gelistet und gelöst werden, alles andere ist off-topic.

Bezüglich der Frage, ob Beta oder nicht:

Es wird nirgendwo auch nur ein Wort von einer "Beta" erwähnt, und das nicht ohne Grund. Leider hat fast jede Newsmeldung gleich von einem Beta-Test gesprochen.

Im Moment reden wir von sogenanntem "Focus Testing". Das bedeutet, dass kleine Gruppen von Spielern zusammengesucht werden, die sich auf bestimmte Aspekte des Spiels konzentrieren und auch nur diese testen. Hier wird es mehrere einzelne Phasen geben, und für jede Phase werden andere User ausgewählt - es sei denn, man hat sich durch die Qualität seiner Bugreports äußert positiv hervorgetan.

I am running a 2.2ghz dual core with 3gb or ram and a radeon hd 4870

EVERY time i go to do the scan with IE7 it starts, shows the status bar and does nothing, i left it up all night last night (after trying for 3 hours) for a "what the hell" and it still did nothing

in firefox it doesnt even get that far, it starts, flashes the blue bar then says an error occurred please try again (no matter how many times i click retry either)

ive thrown all security settings to off or minimal, firewall off, and antivirus off
i also know its not my school connection because my room mate did it fine in 30 seconds first try, and to show me tried it 3 more times right away and it went through

so anyone have any suggestions for me?

p.s. bioware, i think this is going to be an amazing game, but let me make a suggestion? how about you make a program we download, we enter all the info there (like our account, contact info, etc...) then that scans our machine, we then dont have ANY problems with java, security etc... and you reduce probably around 70% of the stress on the server of scanning 10,000 machines, and the only stress is sharing the file (which is no more stressful than trying to run a program from the server), and accepting text documents the program generates, this cuts down on all the people being logged into the server, having the server keep generating php pages specifically for each user, and the stress of that many people navigating the site OVER AND OVER because it is having issues, etc... which will help the server out a lot i would think


PLEASE HELP!
When you try to start the scan in IE 7, you should get a bar that appears at the top of the page asking you to give ActiveX permission to run/install. Right click the bar to allow it, and try again.

Die meisten Fehler, wie auch der bereits genannte System Scan Fehler, sind momentan auf die Überlastung des Systems zurückzuführen. Wenn so ziemlich jeder Blog und jedes Gaming Netzwerk darüber berichtet ist der Rückstoß schon recht enorm - das letzte was quasi gefehlt hat war eine Meldung bei Slashdot
Wir hoffen den Loop Bug (= der Bug, der einen immer wieder bei den Nutzungsbedingungen landen lässt) innerhalb in Kürze bereinigt zu haben, eine Lösung wird zur Zeit ausgiebig gestet. Sobald diese als probat befunden wird, wird sie aufgespielt.

Also, we hope we have resolved the issue that has been causing people to get stuck in a "loop." The update should be live and we are looking for confirmation on that now.

What OS are you running and is it 32-bit or 64?

This is purely my own speculation, of course.
I would like to point out that we are doing Game Testing sign-ups; we have not done any announcements about "beta" testing. As specified in the original article, the Game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be rolled out in several phases over an extended period of time. These test phases will begin with smaller, tightly focused test groups, and later tests will expand.

You can change this later. Just go back to "My Account" when you get home and look at the bottom of the page. You will see an "Update" button next to the System Scan option.

Try making certain that ALL fields are filled in on the info page - not just the ones marked required. In many instances that seems to be a viable workaround. Also - there is a thread containing many solutions for other issues here.

There should have been a pop-up type message after you completed the scan, letting you know that your system had been scanned, and giving you another chance to make any updates to your account. You may want to double check that it's been completed and check this thread if you are still having issues.

Make sure you are using one of our supported browsers listed at the top of this page. Also, those using IE8 (unsupported) have had luck with other work arounds.

In Firefox 3.5 I couldn't get the scan to start running (I says it is running, but nothing happens).

Hey Stewsburntmonkey,

We only technically support FF3.0 and IE7, but some people have found the following workaround for IE8.

Wir freuen uns, bekanntzugeben, dass wir ab jetzt Informationen von denjenigen sammeln, die daran interessiert sind, Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ zu testen. Unser Ziel ist es, mit Hilfe eures Feedbacks das bestmögliche Spiel zu schaffen.

Wir werden die Tester aus der Star Wars: The Old Republic Community anhand verschiedener Kriterien wie etwa Systemspezifikationen, Alter und Wohnsitz auswählen. Weil das Testprogramm Feedback aus der Community benötigt, braucht ihr ein aktives Star Wars: The Old Republic ("TOR") Community-Benutzerkonto, um teilnehmen zu können (keine gesperrten Benutzerkonten). Für die Teilnahme müsst ihr mindestens 18 Jahre alt sein und der Spieltestvereinbarung zustimmen, die Teil der TOR-Community-Registrierung ist. Benutzer, die die Anforderungen erfüllen und für das Testprogramm ausgewählt wurden, werden von uns per E-Mail kontaktiert (also schaut, dass eure E-Mail-Adresse aktuell ist!).

Der Star Wars: The Old Republic-Spieltest läuft in mehreren Phasen und über einen längeren Zeitraum ab. Die Testphasen starten mit kleineren, speziellen Testgruppen - spätere Tests werden dann ausgedehnter sein.

Willst du auf der Liste möglicher Tester stehen? Dann musst du zunächst einmal ein registriertes Mitglied der Star Wars: The Old Republic Community sein. Wenn du noch kein Mitglied bist, klicke hier, um noch heute eins zu werden! Vergiss dabei das Häkchen nicht, um zu bestätigen, dass du Interesse hast, am Spieltest teilzunehmen. Wenn du bereits ein Mitglied bist, geh zum Spieltestportal, um dich dort anzumelden.

Bitte denkt alle daran, dass der Abschluss der Anmeldung keine Garantie darstellt, dass ihr als Tester ausgewählt werdet. Wenn ihr mehr über den Star Wars: The Old Republic-Spieltest wissen wollt, besucht die Spieltest FAQ.

Wir freuen uns auf eure Hilfe, damit Star Wars: The Old Republic ein Erfolg wird!

Beitrag von AmyCrider am 28.09.2009 um 20:29 Uhr

We are excited to announce that we are now collecting information for those interested in applying for the opportunity to test Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. Our goal is to get feedback to help us make the best game that we can.

We will be selecting testers from the Star Wars: The Old Republic community based on various requirements such as systems specifications, age, and region. Because the testing program requires feedback from within the community, you must have an active Star Wars: The Old Republic (“TOR”) community account to participate (no banned accounts). The testing is limited to members who are 18 years of age or older and requires the acceptance of the Game Testing Agreement included in the TOR community sign-up process. Users that meet the requirements of the test and are selected for inclusion in the test program will be contacted via email (so make sure your email address is up to date!).

Game testing for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be rolled out in several phases over an extended period of time. These test phases will begin with smaller, tightly focused test groups, and later tests will expand.

Want to get your name on the list of potential testers? First, make sure you are a registered member of the Star Wars: The Old Republic community. If you’re not already a member, click here to become one today;! Be sure to check the box to indicate you are interested in becoming a tester. If you’re already a member, go to the Game Testing Portal to begin the sign up process.

Please keep in mind that there are no guarantees that you will be selected once you have completed the sign up process. For more information about testing Star Wars: The Old Republic, take time to read the Game Testing FAQ

We look forward to your help in making Star Wars: The Old Republic a success!

I always had to make sure my deceased parents left me the family heirloom of an ebon dagger because otherwise it was impossible to kill the imp that blocks your path right off the bat.

I have always been in favor of this sort of thing. It's a great method to set someones play style to the right build. And you can always disregard it if you want.
Ahh, Daggerfall. You have good taste. That game was very near and dear to my heart.

I believe the opening questionnaire is a staple of Bethesda games. I don’t know if they started that in Daggerfall or Arena, but I thought it was a nice idea. I’m more the “hands-on customization” type, so I never took the recommendations, but I was always curious to see what it would decide. Heck, it’s why I sat through the G.O.A.T. three times in Fallout 3.

I hated that Imp. He may have been immune to iron, but he was never immune to my Knuckle Sammich!

Ever drain all your stat points out of Luck? It can be pretty amusing. After completing that starting dungeon I made camp just outside. My rest was interrupted by a wandering monster and I woke to the dulcet tones of a blood curdling otherworldly wail. I had just enough time to mouse over “You see an Ancient Lich” before it blasted my level two character into some sort of viscous soup.

Dieses mal kommt der Post mit erheblicher Verspätung, für die ich mich entschuldigen muss. Donnerstag Abend hat mir leider die Technik einen Streich gespielt, weswegen ich das Update nicht posten konnte - und einen Post zum Freitagsupdate am Freitag zu posten wäre etwas merkwürdig gewesen.

Ebenso entschuldige ich mich dafür, das die versprochene "große Sache" diese Woche noch nicht kommen konnte. Das hat aber gute Gründe, und dafür wird es nächste Woche umso interessanter - glaubt mir, das Update möchtet Ihr nicht verpassen.

Jetzt, da die Messesaison vorbei ist (diverse GDCs, GamesCom, PAX, usw.) wird sich auch unser Zeitplan wieder einrenken. Wir werden uns weiterhin bemühen, Informationen zeitgleich in den USA, Deutschland und Frankreich zu releasen, was inzwischen auch gut klappt.

Für diejenigen von Euch, die normalerweise nur für unsere wöchentlichen Updates vorbeischauen und noch vor dem Besuch der Seite wissen möchten was ansteht, haben wir ein paar Kleinigkeiten.

Wenn Ihr einen RSS Reader benutzt, stellt sicher, dass ihr den The Old Republic RSS News feed hinzugefügt habt.

Wir bringen die Info auch direkt vor Eure Haustür; wann auch immer wir ein Update für die offizielle Website haben, bringen wir diese auch auf einigen Social Networks. Ihr könnt Profile und Gruppen für The Old Republic auf den folgenden Seiten finden:
Und natürlich haben wir auch noch den The Old Republic Newsletter, welcher immer versandt wird wenn wir ein großes Update haben.

Or are you referring to an indepth look at how they will do PvP in the game? If that's the case, that'd be an awesome update. I'm curious as well. Traditional world pvp with some instanced areas? God I hope not...
Just in case this is still a debated point; we have confirmed there will be PvP at E3 (and a few other conventions). We just haven't released any details outside of "The Old Republic will have PvP".

General Discussion -> Friday's Update - September 25th, 2009
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 24.09.2009 um 21:18 Uhr

I’m mainly going to reiterate my post from last Friday. This week and last week are going to fairly light as we prepare for some upcoming announcements and reveals for next month (and throughout the rest of the year). We will be publishing Threat of Peace #16 this week. Next week’s posting we have something great lined up for you, though.

I do apologize for any agitation some of you may be experiencing because of this. While we know that some people may become upset over a delay, if something is not ready to be released, it's just not ready to be released. We would rather postpone something a few weeks rather than put it out when it's not ready. This includes having everything ready for our entire community so that those who read English, French, and German get their information at the same time.

Like I said, though, next week will be a good one. Also, convention season is now over, the Austin Game Developers’ Conference being the last. With that out of the way, we are ramping up our announcements and reveals.

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

Whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:And, of course, we also have The Old Republic Newsletter which is sent out to highlight major updates and announcements.

Another thing to note, our community has steadily been growing due to the convention season as well as the expansion of the site to the French and German languages. While some of the questions people have been asking may have been previously answered, realize that the poster may be someone new to the community or someone who hasn’t been following as closely. When responding to these posts, do so respectfully and help these new members get up to speed with The Old Republic.

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> Liebe Moderatoren
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 22.09.2009 um 22:45 Uhr

Hallo Nachtwesen,

grundsätzlich vorweg: In der Regel werden solche Posts wie Deiner nicht beantwortet. Moderationsentscheidungen sind Teil unseres Jobs, und dieser wird nicht gedankenlos ausgeführt. Deswegen ist ein entsprechender Punkt auch schon in den Verhaltensregeln aufgeführt, denen Du zugestimmt hast:
  • Stelle keine Beiträge über geschlossene oder gelöschte Threads ein. Wird ein Thread moderiert, geschieht das nicht ohne Grund. Bevor wir in einem geschlossenen Thread einen Beitrag schreiben, schließen wir den Thread. So stellen wir sicher, dass das Fehlverhalten sofort beendet wird. Wenn also in einem geschlossenen Thread noch kein Beitrag eines Mitglieds des Community Teams zu sehen ist, warte bitte eine Weile und erstelle keinen neuen Beitrag zu diesem Thema. Wenn du Fragen zur Moderation des Forums hast, verwende bitte die Kontaktliste im Abschnitt "Community Team-Prozesse" weiter unten.

Diesen Thread werde ich allerdings nicht löschen, da ich denke das es hier ein grundsätzliches Missverständnis zu geben scheint.

Uns allen ist klar, das TOR sich Vergleichen stellen muss - wobei wir uns natürlich wünschen, das es an seinen eigenen Qualitäten gemessen wird. Wenn Du Dich im Forum umschaust, wirst Du auch erkennen, das es hier jede Menge threads gibt die Vergleiche zum Thema haben. Wir kämen auch nie auf den Gedanken, das zu unterbinden, denn letztendlich können aus diesen Threads auch für uns interessante Informationen erwachsen. Meines Wissens wurde bisher auch kein Posting dieser Art gelöscht, mein Team ist sich zumindest keiner solche Handlung bewusst. Es wurde grundsätzlich nur darauf hingewiesen, das bitte dass ursprüngliche Thema beibehalten werden soll.

Dieses Forum ist allerdings für SWTOR gedacht, und leider lassen sich des Öfteren User hinreissen, auf einmal komplett auf das eigentlich nur zu vergleichende MMO zu schwenken. Da werden dann Patches und die Historie durchdiskutiert, hier wirft man noch ein "Ja, da hast Du aber ein halbes Jahr verpasst, das ist schon längst nicht mehr so" und ein "Wir haben aber 18 Stunden an dem Boss gesessen, das war auch nicht so prall" ein, und schon haben wir 2-3 Seiten die nur von dem MMO handeln, mit dem ursprünglich nur Vergleiche angebracht werden sollen.

Unsere Aufgabe ist es unter anderem, so etwas frühzeitig zu erkennen und, wenn möglich, zu unterbinden. Und sei es nur um auch Usern, die der Materie fremd sind, entsprechend die Möglichkeit einzubinden auch weiterhin der Diskussion beiwohnen zu können.

Falls Du noch weiteren Klärungsbedarf zu diesem Thema siehst, kannst Du uns gerne per PM anschreiben, oder Dich direkt an den BioWare Community Support unter BWACommunitySupport@bioware.com wenden.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 22.09.2009 um 11:54 Uhr

Kurzes Update:

1) Wer bereits eine Mail mit einem Code bekommen hat, hat einen US-Code bekommen. In diesem Fall solltet Ihr sicherstellen, das in Euren Profilen als Herkunftsland Deutschland / Germany angegeben ist. Solltet ihr trotzdem bei Versand der EU-Codes keinen neuen Code zugesandt bekommen, meldet Euch bitte über die bereits genannte eMail Adresse bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com !

2) Die EU-Codes sollten in den nächsten Tagen versandt werden.

3) Wir sind nach wie vor daran bemüht eine Lösung für das Problem des Spielkaufs für Deutschland über Direct2Drive zu finden. Wir gehen davon aus diese in den nächsten Tagen parat zu haben, es könnte aber sein das sich diese bis nach den Versand der Codes verzögert. In diesem Fall bitten wir um Euer verständnis und hoffen das ihr die Wartezeit nicht allzu schwer nehmt.

So, das soll es erstmal gewesen sein!

Ich habe hier gerade drei Beiträge gelöscht. Dazu grundsätzlich:

1) Wer meint, das ein Beitrag moderationswürdig ist, kann diesen melden, sollte aber nie im Thread so etwas wie "Thread schließen" schreiben.
2) Bumping ist böse; wenn man ohne erfolgte Antwort etwas nachbessern möchte, kann man die Editier-Funktion benutzen.
3) Don't feed the troll. Hier gilt das gleiche wie bei 1).

Sofern mich mein Gedächtnis nicht gerade im Stich lässt, gab es dieses Thema hier noch nicht. Dementsprechend wird der Thread offen gelassen.

Danke!

Hallo Ihr,

Samstag Nacht, 23:45, und leider kann ich Euch im Moment noch nichts neues bezüglich der Verfügbarkeit in Deutschland sagen. Das ist eine Sache hinter der wir momentan mit Hochdruck hinterher sind, nur leider gibt es auch in England ein Wochenende, und die Kontaktpersonen sind in den USA. Vor Montag Nachmittag werde ich leider nichts definitiv neues schreiben können, wir sind aber in jedem Fall dran. Das war auch der Grund für die Verzögerung des Updates hier, wir haben gehofft da noch etwas klären zu können.

Wir werden Euch in jedem Fall auf dem Laufenden halten.

Beitrag von AmyCrider am 18.09.2009 um 21:39 Uhr

The fifteenth issue of Threat of Peace™ takes us to the chaotic conflict on Balmorra where Republic military forces have failed to make the deadline for withdrawal. Lieutenant Tavus and Master Orgus land on Balmorra where the Republic general makes it clear that his forces are unable to withdraw—they’re been drawn back into battle with the Imperials after the heroics of Jedi Knight Fortris Gall. Master Orgus confronts his former Padawan even as Lieutenant Tavus and Satele Shan set out to visit another world where the war still rages…

Check out the latest issue of Threat of Peace now.

Meister Orgus und Lieutnant Tavus treffen auf Balmorra ein, um bei der Koordination des längst überfälligen Rückzugs des republikanischen Militärs zu helfen.

Die fünfzehnte Ausgabe von Threat of Peace(tm) versetzt uns mitten in den chaotischen Konflikt auf Balmorra, wo es dem republikanischen Militär nicht gelungen ist, sich innerhalb der gesetzten Frist zurückzuziehen. Lieutnant Tavus und Meister Orgus landen auf Balmorra, wo der republikanische General deutlich macht, dass seine Truppen nicht in der Lage sind, sich zurückzuziehen - sie wurden durch die Heldentaten des Jedi-Ritters Fortris Gall erneut in den Kampf verwickelt. Meister Orgus tritt seinem früheren Padawan gegenüber, während Lieutnant Tavus und Satele Shan zu einer anderen Welt aufbrechen, auf der noch immer der Krieg tobt...

Website Feedback and Support -> An Option to KILL THREADS
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 18.09.2009 um 17:12 Uhr

While there isn't an option at the moment for an OP to delete a thread they have created, we find what works best and fastest is for the OP to "flag" the post, and request it be deleted in the comment section. That can be a simple as saying "I made a fail thread" or "I remade this thread with a poll. Can you delete it, please?"
Since it goes into our report queue, that's a good way to make sure it gets seen and removed.

Let me say, the flames and "no holds barred" type posts don't bother me personally. I've been working in this field for almost a decade (ack!) and I was in the Marine Corps prior to that. The reason we ask that everyone be respectful is more for the community at large. Debates can easily degrade to arguments and verbal (or rather, text) altercations. We'd rather promote a community where debate is encouraged and being rude and condescending to others is not. /speech over

As to your point about the Republic not getting center stage; I personally will disagree a little bit. For a while there, it was the Bounty Hunter, Republic Trooper, and Smuggler as being the only classes announced and the Trooper being the only class to have a Developer Dispatch.

The Sith Warrior is getting more attention currently because that class has been announced (and is the most recent class announcement). While we have shown and said there will be Jedi in The Old Republic, we have not yet properly announced anything for the Jedi but their time will come. And with a passion (no pun intended
Also, wait till you see Timeline #5, the Battle of Bothawui.

It is the only thing that would make sense to be pushed back because it's not ready......
The problem with this is we could announce something that isn't done and it could either be completely changed or removed altogether when everything is said and done. At such points, if a player had his or her heart set on something we simply "announced" and then it wasn't there or completely different than they were told, that player will feel lied and betrayed to. This does more of a disservice to the community rather than making them wait for solid information to be released.

Hey all,

First, no, it was not planned to postpone Threat of Peace #15 last week; that occurred because of a complication with the update itself and wasn't ready for our global community until this week. That issue has been fixed and we will be releasing it this Friday. Issue #16 is already finished and will be on schedule for next week.

As for our other updates, we did have plans for releasing additional content but they just were not ready to be released yet. There is still the possibility that Threat of Peace #16 will be released alongside additional content next week but we'll know more about that early next week.

We do actually have some great announcements and reveals in store for you but we want to ensure that everything is crafted with quality in mind. If something is not ready to be released, it's just not ready to be released. While we know that some people may become upset over a delay, we would rather postpone something a few weeks rather than put it out when it's not ready.

I do apologize for any agitation some of you may be experiencing. Furthermore, we do appreciate those of you who have been giving us your feedback on this constructively instead of having this degrade into an argument.

- Sean

Normalerweise würde dieser Post einen kleinen Einblick auf das dieswöchige Freitagsupdate erlauben, aber wir werden dieses mal ein paar Schritte weitergehen und über den Rest des Monats reden. Die nächsten zwei Wochen werden, was updates angeht, eher flach gehalten, während wir uns auf einieg anstehende Ankündigungen und Enthüllungen für den nächsten Monat (und den Rest des Jahres) vorbereiten. Wir werden diesen Freitag Threat of Peace #15 herausbringen, und nächsten Freitag #16. Es könnte sein, dass das Posting der nächsten Woche auch noch etwas anderem begleitet wird, aber das sehen wir dann wenn es soweit ist.

STAR WARS-Diskussion -> Welcher Charakter aus SW ist euer Liebling?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 17.09.2009 um 13:20 Uhr

Chewbacca. Bzw. Wookiees im Allgemeinen
Verstehen jede Sprache nach kürzester Zeit, sind hochintelligent, basteln hervorragende Waffensysteme (die ein normalsterblicher oft nichtmal bedienen kann ohne selber quer durch den Raum geschleudert zu werden). Ok, sie sehen ein bisschen zottelig aus, das macht sie aber nicht weniger cool

So. Jetzt wollen wir alle mal bitte tieeeef durchatmen und unsere Vorurteile ein wenig zur Seite schieben. Danke sehr.

Bitte unterlasst in Zukunft Seitenhiebe in Richtung bestimmter Bevölkerungsgruppen, ob es nun Schüler oder Hartz IV Empfänger sind. Die Hartz IV Kommentare im Besonderen werde ich gleich auch entsprechend herauseditieren. Das ganze hat konstruktiv angefangen, es wäre schön wenn es auch konstruktiv endet, ohne das Mitglieder verschiedener Gruppen in einem Battle Royale gegeneinander antreten.

Danke.

Thanks to everyone who is reporting these comments. I'm making sure they stay cleaned up as well as I am able to and having help from the community is a tremendous asset. As a matter of fact we have enjoyed having our comments section back so much, that we are going to be disabling drupal posting permissions for people who repeatedly abuse it. We can do that without interfering with forums permissions, so we are going to see how that works for now.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped us with this!

Coruscant. A symbol of power, prosperity, and innovation for civilization. The capital of the Republic serves as a hub of cultural influence and home to hundreds of alien species and from across the galaxy. Still recovering from the Sith attack during the Sacking of Coruscant, the planet has set out to rebuild what they have lost. Though the pristine skyline continues to grow, the lower level districts of Coruscant have developed troubles of their own.

Access the HoloNet to learn more about the history of Coruscant and the struggles facing the citizens as they rebuild the planet after the attack.

This year at the Penny Arcade Expo, attendees were treated to a special sneak-peek of the Republic capital world of Coruscant! For anyone who was unable to attend, or anyone who would like to relive the video in higher quality, we invite you to check it out!
 

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Entdeckt Coruscant, die Hauptwelt der Republik!
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 11.09.2009 um 22:23 Uhr

Coruscant, die Hauptwelt der Republik, dient als Zentrum kultureller Einflüsse und ist das Heim von Hunderten von fremden Spezies aus der ganzen Galaxis. Der Planet erholt sich immer noch vom Angriff der Sith - der Plünderung von Coruscant - und es wird versucht, die zerstörten Gebiete wieder neu aufzubauen. Doch während die makellose Skyline des Planeten weiter wächst, haben sich in den unteren Ebenen ganz eigene Probleme entwickelt.

Greift auf das HoloNetz zu und erfahrt mehr über die Geschichte von Coruscant und den Kampf der Bevölkerung beim Wiederaufbau des Planeten nach dem Angriff der Sith.

Dieses Jahr gab es für Besucher der Penny Arcade Expo eine spezielle Vorschau auf die Hauptwelt der Republic, Coruscant, zu erhaschen! Für alle, die nicht dabei sein konnten oder es sich noch einmal in höherer Qualität anschauen wollen, haben wir hier nun das passende Gegenstück!

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 10.09.2009 um 23:30 Uhr

Urghs - nein, wir betreiben hier keine Martkforschung. Das tut ja schon fast weh, das zu lesen.

Marktforschung ist ein größtenteils passiver Vorgang. Dabei wird nur ausgewertet was vorhanden ist, und Rückschlüsse auf das gezogen was sich eventuell gut verkaufen lässt. Es findet keine Interaktion statt, es wandern nur Zahlen durch Spreadsheets.

Das Forum ist viel, viel mehr. Hier wird eine vernünftige Schnittstelle zwischen BioWare und den Usern geboten, ein Informationsfluss in beide Richtungen sichergestellt. Wir behalten einen Überblick über alle Meinungen, Vorstellungen und Wünsche, und leiten die auch so an BioWare weiter, wobei weder bevorzugt noch benachteiligt wird. Wir stellen sicher das man sich hier im Forum vernünftig austauschen und unterhalten kann und hoffen das sich hier jeder wohlfühlt, egal welcher Spielergruppe er angehört. Wir wollen wissen, was den Usern gefällt und was nicht, und auch das geben wir weiter.

Hinzu kommt, das wir alle selber spielen. Wir bringen unsere eigenen Erfahrungen mit ein, haben Höhen und Tiefen miterlebt, und wissen welche Auswirkungen ein eigentlich "kleiner" Fehler haben kann, den kaum jemand bemerkt, und der für einen Statistiker oder Marktforscher nur eine Nachkommastelle in der Fehlerstatistik wäre
Ich hoffe das macht es etwas klarer.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to confirm with all of you that tomorrow's update will indeed be the HoloNet update of Coruscant as well as Threat of Peace #15.

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

We also bring the information to the places you are at; whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:And, of course, we also have our The Old Republic Newsletter which is sent out whenever we have a major update.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 10.09.2009 um 22:35 Uhr

Im Moment sind wir auch noch in der Lage, so oft Gesicht zu zeigen. Das Aufkommen ist ja auch noch überschaubar. Ich wage zu behaupten, das wir irgendwann zurückschauen werden, und uns die herrliche Ruhige Zeit vom Anfang zurückwünschen
Was das weiterleiten angeht - na sicher. Wir kommunizieren regelmäßig alle Vorkommnisse mit unseren amerikanischen Kollegen, das versteht sich von selbst. Dabei landen im Forum abgegebene Wünsche, Anregungen usw. natürlich ebenfalls an den richtigen Stellen, sofern diese vernünftig im Forum disktutiert wurden. Und über vernünftige Anregungen freuen wir uns immer.

Gleichzeitig darf man sich als User aber auch nicht zu große Hoffnungen machen, denn letztendlich handelt es sich hier nicht um ein Open-Source-Spiel.

Das Negativbeispiel sind dann Personen, die mit aller Macht ihre Vorstellungen durchdrücken wollen. Am besten noch mit einer Petition, vor dem Launch. Und das, obwohl keiner weiß, ob das Feature nicht längst vorhanden ist - und einfach noch nicht angekündigt wurde.

Fazit:
Das Verbesserungsvorschläge-Forum ist nicht ohne Hintergedanken erstellt worden. Wer freundlich und bescheiden bleibt hat bessere Chancen gehört zu werden als jemand der sich aufführt als könne er das Spiel selbst besser programmieren.

So basicaly is it like a slow fall like making choices that the Jedi could persuade himself would be for the greater good but in fact are evil and agaisnt the code? Or is there an option like that for players that qould like to get do a slow fall. Sloly behing tempted and corrupted by the dark side.

I know it is still in dev and the Jedi is not release yet but.

Kepp up the good work!


One of the things we did with each class at the start of designing them was to pinpoint where on the dark/light scale they would start--basically where society would expect them to be and what makes sense with their background. So a Sith Warrior would have more expectations of dark side than a bounty hunter, a smuggler would be less light side than a Jedi. Then from there we offer the decisions in game to slowly move you in other directions. So you are exactly right that a Sith Warrior might get the option to do something truly evil from the first hour of the game but a Jedi would not as it makes no sense that nobody has noticed he was a psychopath during training. He has to wait and learn to make Evil Tea and Evil Cereal first, then work his way up to Evil Pancakes.

Wie wäre es denn wenn ihr einen guten Versuch, so früh überhaupt schon einen Guide zu beginnen, unterstützt, anstatt ihn gleich von Anfang an zu torpedieren?
Letztendlich ist fast alles noch Theorie, da sich das Spiel noch noch in der Entwicklung befindet. Und dafür ist das hier schon ein gut gegliederter Ansatz. Wenn irgendwo eine Eurer Meinung nach falsche Info enthalten ist, könnt ihr doch darauf hinweisen, oder nicht?

Ich finde es einen guten Anfang, und es ist noch viel Zeit um das ganze weiterzuentwickeln. In jedem Fall sind die Posts eine Bereicherung für das Forum.

Here's a quick summary.

It helps to keep in mind that there are two wars going on;

There is the military war between the Siith Empire and Galactic Republic, and there is also an ideological war being fought between the Jedi and the Sith Lords.

The Sith Lords rule the Sith Empire, and the Jedi are sworn defenders of the Galactic Republic.

General Discussion -> Cover system for the smuggler
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 06.09.2009 um 17:40 Uhr

I'm pretty sure that statement was along the lines of "the first cover system of this type in an MMO."

I mean, if you want to get technical about it, most games have some sort of cover built into the game mechanics, like LOS, or whatever. But nothing that looks like, or works like this.
 

Website Feedback and Support -> Some media comment moderation please.
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 06.09.2009 um 17:09 Uhr

Please please please!!

Flag any guild recruitment comments you see - or any other comments that just don't belong in there. Over the past two weeks, several of us have been working to clean those comments out but because they are on the website side of things (not the forum side) they are kinda tricky to get at.

Also, as of Friday 09.04 there were over 1300 pages of comments on the website. Anything that's flagged is relatively easy to isolate and delete, but looking for any unflagged posts that may need to be removed is like trying to find a needle in a coalmine.

Thanks everyone for reporting these comments to us!

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> [Freitags-Update] Zeitlinie 4: Das Imperium Ändert Seine Strategie
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 04.09.2009 um 18:28 Uhr

Jedi-Meister Gnost-Dural hat den Jedi-Archiven einen weiteren Eintrag hinzugefügt. Nach einer gründlichen Analyse der Beweise hat Meister Gnost-Dural entdeckt, dass die Rückkehr der Mandalorianer in die Galaxie und die Allianz mit den Sith kein Zufall war, sondern das Resultat von Jahren finsterer Machenschaften durch niederträchtige Agenten des Imperialen Geheimdienstes.

14 VVC - Frustriert über eine Reihe von militärischen Siegen der Republik sucht das Imperium nach alternativen Strategien auf seinem Weg, die Galaxis zu erobern. Trotz der zahlreichen verlockenden Angebote der imperialen Diplomaten weigern sich die berüchtigten Mitglieder der galaktischen Unterwelt hartnäckig, dem Sith-Imperium die Treue zu schwören. Also beginnt der Imperiale Geheimdienst damit, nach anderen Wegen zu suchen, um die Loyalität der Unterwelt zu gewinnen. Imperiale Agenten infiltrieren daraufhin die Gladiatorenarenen von Geonosis und treffen Kampfabsprachen, um den Aufstieg eines neuen Mand'alor zu ermöglichen - der als imperiale Marionette einige der stolzesten und unabhängigsten Krieger der Galaxis unwissend in die Arme des Imperiums treiben soll.

Seht Euch die vierte Holoaufzeichnung "Das Imperium ändert seine Strategie", gesprochen von Tilo Schmitz, an.

News and Announcements -> Timeline 4: The Empire Changes Strategy
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 04.09.2009 um 15:51 Uhr

Jedi Master Gnost-Dural has entered a new holorecord in the Jedi Archive. After a thorough analysis of the evidence, Master Gnost-Dural has discovered that the Mandalorians’ return to the galaxy and alliance with the Sith was no coincidence—it was the result of years of shadowy machinations by the sinister agents of Imperial Intelligence.

BTC 14 – Frustrated by a series of Republic military victories, the Empire began exploring alternative strategies in its drive to conquer the galaxy. Despite the tantalizing offers of Imperial Diplomats, members of the galaxy’s notorious underworld refused to swear allegiance to the Sith Empire. Thus, Imperial Intelligence began laying the groundwork to win the underworld’s loyalty through other means. Infiltrating the gladiatorial arenas of Geonosis, Imperial agents fixed the fights to cultivate the rise of a new Mandalore—an Imperial puppet who would call forth some of the galaxy’s most proud and independent warriors to unknowingly aid in the Empire’s dark designs.

Watch the fourth Timeline holorecord, The Empire Changes Strategy, narrated by actor Lance Henriksen.

Der Freitag steht wieder bevor
Diesen Freitag werdet Ihr den neuesten Eintrag von Jedi-Meister Gnost-Dural in der Zeitlinie vorfinden, in welchem er von seinen Entdeckungen bezüglich der Rückkehr der Mandalorianer und dem Aufstieg des neuen Mandalore erzählen wird.

Im Rahmen der PAX gibt es im Englischen Forenbereich einen Diskussionsthread, der für Besucher nicht uninteressant sein dürfte. Da die PAX ein reines US-Event ist, werden hier für Besucher oder Mitverfolger der GamesCom allerdings keine große Neuigkeiten auftauchen. Für diejenigen von Euch, die normalerweise nur für unsere wöchentlichen Updates vorbeischauen und noch vor dem Besuch der Seite wissen möchten was ansteht haben wir ein paar Kleinigkeiten.

Wenn Ihr einen RSS Reader benutzt, stellt sicher das ihr den The Old Republic RSS News feed hinzugefügt habt.

Wir bringen die Info auch direkt vor Eure Haustür; wann auch immer wir ein Update für die offizielle Website haben, bringen wir diese auch auf einigen Social Networks. Ihr könnt Profile und Gruppen für The Old Republic auf den folgenden Seiten finden:

Hey everyone,

I'm getting ready to head to the airport and make my way to Seattle, Washington for the Penny Arcade Expo. If you haven't seen it yet, we listed PAX as one of the Events we're attending this year.

If you happen to be going, there is a little bit more information.
  • PAX World Map - Great little guide to have.
  • The Star Wars: The Old Republic Cantina can be found on the 3rd level near the tabletop gaming rooms; it will be open all three (3) days.
  • Saturday, 3:30pm - 4:30pm, Main Theatre (4th Level) -
    Star Wars: The Old Republic live demonstration - BioWare and LucasArts will present the first-ever live public demo of The Old Republic in the United States. Make sure to get in line early because there will be exclusives galore for attendees only.
  • Sunday, 11:00am - 12:00pm, Main Theatre (4th Level) - Star Wars: The Old Republic live demonstration - BioWare and LucasArts present their second live public demo of The Old Republic at PAX. Make sure to get in line early because there will be exclusives galore for attendees only.
Definitely swing by the Cantina and say hi. We should have a few things going on at the Cantina and I'll update this thread (and post) more with that when I get there (in case anything has changed).

Feel free to use this thread to discuss what you've seen at the Penny Arcade Expo or any questions you have (pertaining to our presence at PAX).

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> 200 Stunden Gameplay pro Charakter?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 02.09.2009 um 14:49 Uhr

Wer schon mal Speedruns von Spielen gesehen hat, für die man selbst teilweise Wochen gebraucht hat um sie durchzuspielen, der weiss das dabei eine Menge verloren geht. Bei so manchem Rollenspiel tut es schon fast weh dabei zuzuschauen, wie ganze Storyelemente einfach übersprungen oder links liegen gelassen werden, bei denen man selber mit Gänsehaut davor saß.

Insofern - Geschwindigkeit ist nicht alles!


 

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> SWTOR mit Offlinemodus?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 02.09.2009 um 14:39 Uhr

Ohne zu sehr in die Details zu gehen - wir reden hier von einem MMO, nicht von einem Singleplayer-Spiel. Jede Entscheidung die man trifft soll sich auf das Spiel auswirken. Einfach nur in eine Gruppe zu springen, frei nach dem Motto "och, ich mach einfach mal mit, ich kann's ja hinterher eh rückgängig machen" ist nicht Sinn und Zweck des ganzen
 

Allgemeine Diskussionen -> SWTOR mit Offlinemodus?
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 02.09.2009 um 13:40 Uhr

Bezüglich der Entscheidungen:
Diese werden in Gruppen spielbar sein. Darauf wurde auch an diversen Stellen schon hingewiesen. Das Interessante daran wird in jedem Fall, dass die User sich untereinander absprechen müssen - oder aber mit der Entscheidung anderer leben. Es spricht sicher nichts dagegen, wenn später im Chat irgendwann "Suche nach Flaspoint-Gruppe (dark-side)" auftaucht, oder man noch in der Instanz eine Diskussion anstrengt.

[Warnung: Privatpost. In diesem Post werden keine relevanten Aussagen, Andeutungen oder Ankündigungen über TOR gemacht!]

Sehr cooler Stil!
Das Kostüm im ersten Bild erinnert ein bisschen an Captain Harlock oder Queen Millennia meets Lady Oscar
Den etwas realistischeren Stil finde ich persönlich noch einen Tick besser. Gibt ja einige Mangaka die sich dessen bedienen, insbesondere wenn es inhaltlich von Shoujo / Shonen weg und in Richtung Seinen geht.

Alles in allem - cool

Das war aber noch nicht alles, denn ab sofort ist nun auch die offizielle HoloNetz Seite zum Sith-Krieger verfügbar! Hier findet Ihr alle Informationen zur frisch auf der GamesCom enthüllten Klasse. Ebenfalls sollten im Laufe des heutigen Updates noch neue Wallpaper zum Sith-Krieger online gehen - schaut also auf jeden Fall in der Mediensektion vorbei!

Viel Spaß mit den neuen Inhalten!

Hallo Community,

in der letzten Woche wurden wir häufig wegen der recht formalen Übersetzungen kontaktiert. Den Vogel abgeschossen hat hier wohl "Möge die Macht mit Ihnen sein!". Wir haben daraufhin mit BioWare gesprochen, die wiederrum ein Meeting diesbezüglich hatten, bei welchem festgestellt wurde, dass es in Zukunft etwas lockerer und persönlicher sein sollte.

Die Umstellung wird ein bisschen dauern, aber wir schauen auch über den einen oder anderen Text, um dafür zu sorgen, dass Ihr nicht "gesiezt" werdet.

Hey Folks,

I am both highly flattered and even more highly embarrassed by this thread. I apologize for the state of my head in the interviews from Germany. I had gone to Europe two weeks earlier to wander and see the sights so was far overdue for the shaving. Every day I’m touched by how much passion—directed or undirected, negative or positive—this community shows for the work we’ve dedicated years of our lives to.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 27.08.2009 um 16:22 Uhr

Eine kleine Klarstellung:

Ich habe bei dem Interview danebengestanden. Ich bin gerade noch drei mal über das Interview gegangen, um auch nur die kleinste Andeutung auf das Thema rauszuhören. Ich kann mir nur vorstellen das swtor-blog.de da irgendwas gewaltig durcheinander gebracht hat, denn über Housing sprach SWTOR Station nur im Zusammenhang mit der Live Demo. Der einzige Punkt wo es etwas näher an das Spiel und weg von Daniela's Vorstellung als Community Lead ging, war gegen Ende. Und selbst da wurde nichts erwähnt.

Dementsprechend - es gab von uns definitiv keine Aussage dazu, geschweige denn das irgendwelche Bilder ausgegeben worden wären.

Well, I actually said they were higher, not necessarily "high" level. One of the things to remember is that the early stages of most any game (single-player or MMO) are there to educate the user as to how to play the game. Once you get the basics down, you get more things thrown your way to learn.

This is the reason some people dislike people who buy high-level characters... because they basically are in the end-game without knowing how to play the game at all. They have a ton of options at their fingertips and have no idea any of the strategies or tactics in playing the game much less the character.

Anyways, back to my point... Yes, there is a bigger difference between characters that are Level 3 and 8 than you will see at the "high" levels. That's because the first few levels are there more to teach you general game mechanics and then we start showing you how "your" character plays.

That and we are still developing the game; I'm sure we'll do various balancing passes before the game launches to ensure that each class is fun to play and that none of them are obsolete or "uber".

Hope that helps.

General Discussion -> GamesCom 2009 has concluded
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 26.08.2009 um 16:13 Uhr

Well, I returned to Austin Monday night from GamesCom 2009 and what a trip it has been! I've put up a few pics I took while in Germany on Flickr.

A couple of things I wanted to touch on that I heard of while at GamesCom but didn't get a chance to comment on:

The Bounty Hunter "AI" - There seems to be some confusion here; there was no "Bounty Hunter AI". Yes, there were some of the live demos that I assisted in and I played the Bounty Hunter. Yes, I have been accused of being a 'bot' on many occasions but rarely have I been accused of having intelligence, artificial or otherwise
Why play anything but a Sith Warrior - There were some discussions I saw about "Why not just play a Sith Warrior" when compared to some of the other classes. I would like to point out that you saw a lot of the Sith Warrior at a higher level during the Flashpoint as opposed to the Smuggler and Bounty Hunter on Ord Mantell and Hutta. Personally, I think all of the classes have their own individual strengths and weaknesses and work for different playstyles. People who like to shoot big guns and use a variety of hardware will probably prefer a Republic Trooper or Bounty Hunter; those who like to use cunning will more than likely look towards the Smugger, and those who love to get into the thick of a crowd will like the Sith Warrior; and of course, there are still the classes we haven't announced yet. End of the day, we plan on doing our best to balance all of the classes so they all can stand on equal ground in their own fields. If we just made the Sith Warrior the most powerful class, what would be the sense in making the other classes?

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the information that came out of GamesCom (and the Developer Walkthrough Video) and this Friday we plan to update the HoloNet with the Sith Warrior page.

- Sean
 

General Discussion -> About the Flashpoints..
Beitrag von JesseSky am 25.08.2009 um 22:04 Uhr

This flashpoint is for all members of the Imperial faction. The Bounty Hunter isn't tagging along - it's as much his story as it is the Sith Warrior's.

The consequences of the choice made on the bridge are extensive, within the flashpoint - it determines the course of gameplay and has story repercussions toward the end.

We aren't yet revealing how the multiplayer dialogue system works, but I can tell you that we designers are multiplayer geeks, so we really want these to be the ultimate cooperative story experiences. We won't punish you for playing with friends.
 

Verbesserungsvorschläge -> Individualisierung von Rüstungen und Kleidung
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 25.08.2009 um 19:40 Uhr

Den folgenden Punkt möchte ich gerne in die Diskusion hier einbringen (und wie immer weise ich darauf hin das es in keinem direkten Zusammenhang mit SWTOR steht, sondern allgemein gesprochen ist). Das folgende soll weder pro noch kontra sein, sondern einfach ein bisschen mehr Informationen über Hintergründe liefern.

Einer der Gründe, warum die Individualisierungen extrem selten eingesetzt werden, ist der damit verbundene Mehraufwand bei den Datenbanken, der Bandbreite und dem Traffic.

Stellt Euch vor ihr habt Netcode mit dem ihr alles gerade so noch durch eine ISDN Leitung kriegt. Es gibt Weltweit millionen MMO Spieler die nach wie vor am Modem hängen. Darin ist alles enthalten - Kampf, Bewegung, Status, Overhead, etc. pp.

Jetzt muss bei jedem Charakter auf einmal aber noch die Individualisierung übertragen werden. Farben in Hex-codes, für jedes individualisierbare Teil. Dinge die man anfügen kann (Stacheln an den Schultern etc.) müssen Position, Typ und Farbe übertragen. Auf einmal tauchen Engpässe auf. Wo speckt man jetzt ab?

Natürlich muss das alles ja auch irgendwo gespeichert werden. Sprich, die Datenbank muss um entsprechende Felder erweitert werden, was für jeden Charakter ein entsprechendes "mehr" an Informationen bewirkt.

Das ganze schlägt sich natürlich auch im Traffic nieder. Die Datenmenge ist vielleicht minimal, aber selbst kleine Datenmengen werden riesig wenn sie millionen- oder milliardenfach übertragen werden müssen. Jedes mal wenn jemand diesen charakter sieht müssen sämtliche Daten über ihn übertragen werden, und umgekehrt. Einmal durch ein dicht besiedeltes Gebiet laufen sorgt da dann gerne mal für das plötzliche Laden der Daten bei 200-300 usern gleichzeitig. Da kommen schnell zig Gigabytes an Daten zusammen, auf den Monat gerechnet - für eine kleine Änderung.

Manchmal wird auch gewünscht das man z.B. ein eigenes Wappen oder Banner in ein Spiel einbinden kann. Wenn schon eine kleine Datenbankänderung von ein paar byte an Daten so einen großen Einfluss hat - was glaubt ihr würde eine mehrere kilobyte große Grafik auslösen?

Man kann das auf beliebig vielen Abstraktionsebenen weiterführen. Jetzt bin ich gespannt wie Ihr das in Eure Diskusion einflechtet

For starters, double check that you are signed up. You can do that by following this link: http://www.swtor.com/user/register.

If you find that you are, and the email address on your account is correct, you should probably check your spam folder to see if they have been getting sent there. Also, you should add swtor@newsletter.bioware.com to your email address book to make sure they aren't getting marked as spam.

Let us know if that doesn't take care of it.

Hallo liebe Community!

Egal ob ihr in den Tiefen des Outer Rim verschollen seid, in der Cantina ausspannt oder es aus anderen Gründen nicht zur GamesCom geschafft habt - wir haben da etwas für Euch!

Schaut auf einen Sprung bei IGN.com vorbei, um Euch das Video des kompletten Entwickler Gameplay Walkthroughs anzuschauen, welches auf der GamesCom in dieser Woche gezeigt wird. Verschafft Euch einen Blick auf den Kopfgeldjäger und den Schmuggler auf den Planeten Hutta und Ord Mantell. Springt zur Sith-Heimatwelt Korriban und trefft die Sith-Krieger-Klasse. Lasst Euch auf das Imperiale Transportschiff transportieren, um zu sehen wie Kopfgeldjäger und Sith-Krieger über das Schicksal des Captains und seiner Crew an Bord der Black Talon entscheiden.

Die Videos auf IGN enthalten fast 20 Minuten echten Gameplay-Materials, also seht es Euch auf IGN.com an!

Anmerkung:
Aus Gründen, die sich unserer Kontrolle entzogen werden die Videos mit Deutschen Untertiteln leider erst um einiges später auf IGN zur Verfügung stehen, was auch die Verzögerung der Deutschen News mitzuverantworten hat. Wir werden Euch diesbezüglich selbstverständlich auf dem Laufenden halten und bitten um Entschuldigung für diesen Ausrutscher.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 21.08.2009 um 23:21 Uhr

Hallo Vetterka (verwandt mit Vetter It? Ok, muss man The Monsters für kennen
Zu 1.) Die Updates werden zentral in Austin, Texas aufgespielt. Der Zeitunterschied beträgt hier 7 Stunden, sprich wenn wir 14 Uhr haben steht man in Austin gemütlich auf. Sagen wir jetzt mal die leute sind ab 9 Uhr im Büro und machen langsam das Update fertig, dann haben wir 16 Uhr. Um 11 kann es dann nach dem letzten rendering hochgeladen werden. Um 12 ist es hochgeladen und wird zum letzten Test freigegeben. Dann haben wir 19 Uhr. Dann kommen die ersten Fehler zutage, beim letzten Test. Usw. usf.

Bioware ist sehr qualitätsaffin. Der Zeitunterschied ist auch ein Problem. Ich behaupte jetzt einfach kühn das viele ein vernünftiges Update, dass sich etwas verspätet, einem fehlerhaften (aber pünktlichen) vorziehen. Richtig?
Vielleicht kann ich ja eine Umbenennung in Freitagnacht oder Samstagmorgen beantragen ^^

Zu 2.) Jubb, das hat seinen Grund im Aufbau der Seite. Es wird momentan überprüft wie man das am besten beheben kann.

Zu 3.) Das stellenweise ein recht "steifes" Deutsch verwendet wird ist bekannt. Wir schauen uns einiges an bevor es rausgeht, aber aus Zeitgründen nicht "alles". Wir haben aber schon weitergegeben das es etwas umgangssprachlicher deutlich natürlicher rüberkommen würde.

Ich hoffe Dir damit erstmal geholfen zu haben

Wies der Zufall so will habe ich auch auf dem ZdC gespielt und ich muss sagen Blizzards Support ist sowieso ne Sache für sich. Da wurden ja die RPler von GM's angekackt, weil andere Spieler RP von OOC nicht unterscheiden konnten. Ich hoffe einfach mal das wird hier nicht geschehen, da Hergen in einem Interview sagte das ihm die Community sehr wichtig ist.

*setzt seine rosa rote Brille auf und hofft auf einen wirklich guten Support*
Rosa steht mir hervorragend, finde ich zumindest
Wie ich es gerne mache, so möchte ich auch hier betonen das ich über das Thema RP in MMOs allgemein spreche, nicht auf TOR direkt bezogen. Hier sind keine Ankündigungen oder Ähnliches versteckt, nicht einmal zaghafte Hinweise in dreifacher Chiffrierung, und die alte ENIGMA könnt ihr auch im Keller stehen lassen
Ich habe schon des Öfteren mit einigen Kollegen über das Thema RP geredet. Eine vernünftige Regelhandhabung bei RP ist fast so schwer auszupegeln wie ein vernünftiges PvP Szenario bei 20 Grundverschiedenen Klassen. Zieht man die Leine an der falschen Stelle zu eng, dann fühlen sich viele RPler in ihrem Rollenspiel eingeengt. Lässt man die Leine zu locker, dann rennen Leute herum, "spielen Straßenbanditen" indem sie alles umbringen was ihnen vor die Flinte kommt und beinträchtigen das was in der Regel von der Mehrheit Rollenspiel genannt wird. Gleichzeitig gibt es aber auch Rollenspieler die vieles zu ernst nehmen, und z.B. eine bestimmte Art zu sprechen aufzwingen wollen, ohne den Versuch zu begreifen, dass es selbst in anderen Epochen oder Welten so etwas wie Dialekte, Gossensprache oder blumige Ausdrucksweisen gegeben hat. Hier die Balance zu finden ist wirklich schwer. Aber wir würden es natürlich versuchen!

Das GMs für Rollenspielserver eine gewisse Grundkompetenz mitbringen müssen ist uns übrigens bewusst, und wenn es zur Auswahl kommt werden wir versuchen die leute entsprechend ihrer Befähigung einzusetzen.

Bis dahin fließt aber noch ein bisschen Wasser den Fluss hinab. Insofern - abwarten

Eine kurze Info zum Vorschlagsforum.

Wir möchten hier jeden bitten seine Ideen, Wünsche und Vorstellungen zu Star Wars: The Old Republic einzubringen und mit anderen zu diskutieren.

Gerade zu Beginn ist es uns in der Regel noch möglich jeden Beitrag zu kommentieren, sofern uns dies sinnvoll erscheint. Es wird aber vielleicht irgendwann doch der Fall sein, dass das Aufkommen einfach zu groß wird. Seid aber bitte versichert das wir trotzdem alle Eure Vorschläge weiterleiten, wenn diese eingehend diskutiert wurden!

Wir freuen uns auf viele Eurer Ideen

Glücksspiel ist (neben anderen Themen) tatsächlich problematisch. In vielen MMOs wurden sogar schon von spielern erstellte Casinos / Glücksspiele verboten. Man darf halt nicht vergessen das ein MMO in ettlichen Ländern verkauft und am laufen gehalten werden soll - hier gegen ein Gesetz zu verstoßen, mit etwas das man unter erheblichem Aufwand in das Spiel programmiert hat, ist eher unangenehm.

Vorsicht: Alle folgenden Aussagen basieren auf spekulativen Infos und sind keine offizielle TOR-Aussage ;-)

Auf RP Servern sicherlich sinnvoll, auf non-RP Servern allerdings recht missbrauchsgefährdet (es muss überprüft werden, es werden evtl. vermehrt tickets deswegen geschrieben, es muss ein großer Text in einer hoch belasteten Datenbank gespeichert werden, usw.). Man darf auch nicht vergessen, das selbst etwas so kleines (oder gerade etwas so kleines) oft einen erheblichen Aufwand benötigt um integriert zu werden. Geht man jetzt noch von der Gesamtheit der MMORPGs mit einem recht geringen RP Anteil aus (TOR wird natürlich unvergleichlich
Ich reiche die Bitte aber in jedem Fall weiter

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 21.08.2009 um 12:54 Uhr

Ich erwähnte es schon in einem anderen Thread, aber das kann am Samstag und Sonntag durchaus noch mehr werden. Es lohnt sich also möglichst gleich nach Einlass zu uns zu rennen (Halle 6, hinten Links).

In unser Kino passen 50 Leute, die Demo dauert etwas mehr als eine halbe Stunde und dann braucht man noch ca. 10 Minuten um alles zurück auf Ausgang zu setzen und damit wir mal fix nach hinten flitzen und was aus dem Lagerraum holen können. Dementsprechend sind Vorstellungen alle 45 Minuten.

Bei 3 Stunden kannst Du Dir also denken das ca. 200 Leute in der Warteschlange standen, was gut angehen kann.

Insofern - der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm

Kommt drauf an wie du das meinst. In der Livedemo auf der GamesCom wird einiges gezeigt, z.B. ein in sich geschlossener Ausschnitt aus einer Instanz. Allerdings solltest Du dann früh da sein - wir hatten teilweise wirklich erhebliche Wartezeiten gestern (die Demo dauert recht lange, deswegen ist Einlass alle 45 Minuten), und Fr/Sa/So wird das sicher nicht viel besser.

Wenn Du ein Video zum Download meinst, da kann ich leider im Moment nichts versprechen.

Es ist inzwischen recht schwer geworden die Presse richtig einzuschätzen, insbesondere weil viele Blogger schon auf ihre "Presserechte" pochen, dabei aber gerne mal vergessen das man einfach nicht jedem die Demo zeigen kann - alleine schon aus Zeitgründen.

Das wichtigste ist - immer den Presseausweis dabei haben! Und dann auf dem Stand mal nachfragen, wir schauen dann was wir machen können

I'm not sure exactly how long it's going to take to make the video available - it's rather large and unwieldy so it will require some time. However, it should be universally available at (or close to) the same time.

Hey Everybody! With GamesCom 2009 in full swing, we wanted to give you some updates on the story so far.

Here's a running list of announcements and TOR related news from this year's GamesCom.
  • Game Play Demo. We showed a more version of the demo content showcased at this year’s E3 – with confirmation of a new character class. As Sean has said several times - if you weren’t able to get to Germany for GamesCom this year, don’t sweat! We plan on making the full footage available for viewing.
  • Sith Warrior Confirmed. Finally the Lightsaber-wielding Sith from the E3 video has a name! Check back tomorrow to see the Sith Warrior in action!

Neuigkeiten und Bekanntmachungen -> Willkommen bei STAR WARS: The Old Republic
Beitrag von HergenThaens am 18.08.2009 um 20:20 Uhr

Willkommen auf der offiziellen Website von Star Wars™: The OId Republic™! Falls Sie jetzt erst zu uns gestoßen sind, wir haben Star Wars: The Old Republic ursprünglich im Oktober 2008 angekündigt. Heute können wie verkünden, dass BioWare und LucasArts The Old Republik auf Französisch und Deutsch lokalisieren und wir die französische (www.swtor.fr) und deutsche (www.swtor.de) Version der offiziellen Website starten. Die gesamte Seite entsteht vor dem Hintergrund unserer gemeinsamen Liebe für Star Wars™ und unserer leidenschaftlichen Verpflichtung guten Spielen gegenüber. Wir hoffen, dass sie das Zentrum einer unglaublichen Community wird!



Wenn Sie neu in der The Old Republic-Community sind, haben wir hier ein paar Sachen, die Sie nicht verpassen sollten:

  • Vielleicht fragen Sie sich zunächst, was Star Wars: The Old Republic eigentlich ist. Es handelt sich dabei um ein storybasiertes Massively Multiplayer Online Game von BioWare und LucasArts, dessen Handlung Tausende von Jahren vor dem Aufstieg von Darth Vader spielt. Mehr erfahren Sie in den Bereichen Spielinfo und Der Hintergrund.

  • Erstellen Sie ein Benutzerkonto und registrieren Sie sich für den Star Wars: The Old Republic-Newsletter, um alle Neuigkeiten der Entwickler direkt in den Posteingang zu bekommen. Mit diesem Konto können Sie auch in der Community mitmachen und mit anderen Fans über das Spiel diskutieren.

  • Sehen Sie sich den Trailer “Betrogen” an. Dieser Trailer, der der Plünderung von Coruscant entstammt, fängt dieses Schlüsselereignis mit atemberaubender Action und wunderschönen Details ein.

  • Sehen Sie sich die The Old Republic- Videodokumentationsreihe an, in der wir unsere Vision von Star Wars: The Old Republic vorstellen. Das erste Video ist eine Einführung in The Old Republic, das zweite zeigt Ihnen, wie Story und Hintergrund zum Spielerlebnis beitragen. Das neuste Video ergründet, wie ein komplett vertontes MMO den Spieler noch tiefer in die Story und ihre Charaktere eintauchen lässt.

  • Erkunden Sie das HoloNetz. Das Universum von Star Wars: The Old Republic ist zu gewaltig, um es auf einer einzigen Website zusammenzufassen. Sie erhalten detaillierte Informationen über Klassen, Planeten, Zugehörigkeiten und eine Zeitlinie der Old Republic-Gesichte im HoloNetz - das galaxisweite Datennetzwerk aus dem Spiel, das zum Teil auch auf dieser Seite zugänglich ist.

  • In den News und Updates können Sie die aktuellsten Artikel, Ankündigungen und Entwickler-Blogs nachlesen. Richten Sie sich ein Bookmark dieser Seite ein! Unser RSS-Feed wird Ihnen dabei helfen, jede Ankündigung zu erhalten, die Sie sonst vielleicht verpassen würden.


Wir freuen uns wirklich sehr, dass Sie Teil der The Old Republic-Community sind. Wir haben jede Menge Informationen in der Pipeline, und es ist ein Privileg, diese mit so großartigen Fans teilen zu dürfen! Wenn Sie Hilfe benötigen, zögern Sie bitte nicht, uns zu kontaktieren oder schreiben Sie uns in unser Feedback und Hilfe-Forum.


Möge die Macht mit Ihnen sein!

News and Announcements -> Welcome to the STAR WARS: The Old Republic!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 18.08.2009 um 19:39 Uhr

Welcome to the official Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ website! If you are just now joining us, we originally announced Star Wars: The Old Republic in October 2008. Today, we are revealing that BioWare and LucasArts will be localizing The Old Republic into French and German and we are launching the French (www.swtor.fr) and German (www.swtor.de) versions of the official website. This entire site is built around our shared love of Star Wars™, and our passionate commitment to great gaming. We hope that it will become the center of an incredible community.

If you are new to The Old Republic community, here is a tour of things you won’t want to miss:
  • First and foremost, you may be wondering what is Star Wars: The Old Republic. It is a story-driven massively multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts set thousands of years before the rise of Darth Vader. To learn more, visit our Game Information and Setting sections.
  • Create an account and Sign up for the Star Wars: The Old Republic newsletter to get the latest news from the development team delivered right to your inbox. With this account, you can also participate in the Community and start discussing the game with other fans.
  • Check out the “Deceived” cinematic trailer. Set during the Sacking of Coruscant, “Deceived” captures this pivotal event with breathtaking action and beautiful detail.
  • Watch The Old Republic Video Documentary series where we share the vision for Star Wars: The Old Republic. The first video is an introduction to The Old Republic, the second one shares how Story and Setting will enhance the player experience, and the most recent explores how a fully voiced MMO experience creates an incredible level of immersion and connection to the story and characters.
  • Explore the HoloNet. The universe of Star Wars: The Old Republic is far too vast to sum up in a single web page. You can find detailed information about classes, planets, allegiances, and a timeline of Old Republic history on the HoloNet — the galaxy-spanning data network in the game which is also partially accessible to you here on the website.
  • Read the News and Updates to see the most recent articles, announcements and Developer Blogs. Be sure to bookmark this page! Our RSS Feed will help keep you on top of any announcements you may have missed.
We’re really excited to have you as a part of The Old Republic community. There is a lot of exciting information coming down the line, and it’s our privilege to be able to share it with such great fans! If you need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us or post in our Feedback and Support forum.

May the Force be with you!

Näheres dazu auch hier.

Beitrag von HergenThaens am 18.08.2009 um 17:37 Uhr

Willkommen in der Community zu Star Wars: The Old Republic!

Wir freuen uns, Euch nun auch die Deutschen Foren präsentieren zu können. Wir hoffen, dass Ihr Euch hier wohl fühlen werdet, egal ob Ihr Euch aktiv mit Threads und Postings an der Community beteiligen, oder einfach nur entspannt die Threads zu Euren Lieblingsthemen mitverfolgen wollt.
Um sicherzustellen, dass hier auch eine für möglichst alle angenehme Atmosphäre herrscht, haben wir selbstverständlich auch ein deutsches Community Team vor Ort, das sein bestes geben wird, um hier entsprechend die unverzichtbaren Regeln durchzusetzen.

Dieses Team besteht aus:
Dennis ‚Haevion‘ Vanfürt
Martin ‚Xathaes‘ Eichler
Mike ‚Kobayashi‘ Adler
sowie meiner Wenigkeit (Hergen ‚Kahuna‘ Thaens) als European Community Lead. Wir alle freuen uns darauf, mit Euch arbeiten zu dürfen, und stehen Euch bei Fragen und Anregungen selbstverständlich jederzeit per PM und Mail zur Verfügung.

Natürlich ist es unsere oberstes Anliegen, die gute Atmosphäre im Forum zu erhalten, und dafür möchte ich hier noch einmal auf die Verhaltensregeln hinweisen. Diesen Regeln habt Ihr bei der Erstellung Eurer Accounts bereits zugestimmt. Die wichtigsten Grundsätze, die hinter diesen Regeln stehen, sind:
  • Verhaltet Euch allen gegenüber respektvoll und antwortet nicht mit Beleidigungen oder herablassendem Benehmen, nur weil jemand eine andere Meinung vertritt als Ihr.
  • Führt Euch immer vor Augen, das nicht jeder, der sich hier im Forum beteiligen möchte, auch gleichzeitig viel Ahnung von der Materie haben muss. Das macht ihn als User aber nicht weniger wichtig als Euch – seht es lieber als Gelegenheit, jemandem das Spiel und seine Geschichte näher zu bringen, auf das Ihr Euch freut.
  • Das Forum ist eine Plattform für alle, nicht für einzelne. Wer versucht, mit Trolling, Spamming, dem Bumpen von Threads oder Flaming Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen oder seine Ideen oder Vorstellungen durchzusetzen, wird entsprechend geahndet.
  • Diskussionen über politische, religiöse oder sexuelle Themen können zwar durchaus interessant sein, gehören aber nur in absoluten Ausnahmefällen zum Thema TOR und damit in dieses Forum.
  • Dieses Forum ist auch für minderjährige Nutzer frei zugänglich. Dementsprechend wird das Posten von pornographischen, herabsetzenden oder vulgären Inhalten geahndet.
In jedem Fall gilt: Wenn Ihr meint, dass jemand gegen die Regeln verstößt, zögert nicht, den entsprechenden Post zu melden, wir werden uns dann darum kümmern.
Sollte Ihr plausible Argumente gegen eine unserer Entscheidungen haben, so könnt Ihr diese dem Teammitglied, das die in Frage stehende Aktion durchgeführt hat, selbstverständlich per PM anschreiben. Öffentliche Diskussionen zum Thema Moderation werden jedoch kommentarlos gelöscht und können eine Infraction zur Folge haben.

Happy Friday everyone! We hope you enjoy these community spotlights for the month of August.


Star Wars ASCII Art
Much like a Trooper and his gun, Star Wars™ and ASCII Art make a great combination. Check out some great ASCII creations inspired by iconic Star Wars images in this ASCII art thread created by ilsabay. Maybe you can try your hand at an ASCII creation in the community!


Smuggler’s Alliance Icon
It’s undeniable that a Smuggler likes to show off, and needs an impressive icon to represent his group. VannikDesh created these three awesome Smuggler Alliance icons for the TOR community to use in their signatures. The first image combines the Aurebesh letters “S” and “A” to create a dagger hilt and includes the downturned wings of The Old Republic logo. The second and third versions used The Old Republic blaster concept art with the Aurebesh dagger in blue and gold. VannikDesh plans to create additional icons and have the community vote on the best one. View the original thread to view the full size images or leave feedback!


Fan Creation: “Heroes of The Old Republic”
Community member DeaconX and the TORadio Team have joined forces to create “Heroes of The Old Republic” - a series of Star Wars storytelling inspired by old-time radio dramas.

Deacon X is an aspiring actor and screenwriter as well as a big fan of Star Wars. He said that he wanted to create a video comic book series to combine both of his passions - Star Wars and acting. DeaconX says that he hopes to inspire others to create something or at the least entertain some fellow fans.

Check out Teaser video and Episode Zero - Prelude: Deception at Coruscant. The next release plans to be even bigger, so stay tuned to Episode I – The Artful Dodger.


New Official Poll Released : What will you do?
The situation on board the Black Talon has become critical. Citing self-preservation as his motive, the veteran captain has disobeyed a direct order to engage a Republic ship – an act of insubordination dangerously close to treason.

The clock is ticking down to an imminent attack by a Jedi boarding party. You are onboard as a representative of the Emperor. He will be very displeased if the Black Talon fails its mission and falls to the Republic.

The time has come to prove yourself to your master. What will you do?
  • Advise the captain that cooperation is in everyone’s best interests.
  • Relieve the captain of duty…with your Lightsaber!
  • Jedi?! Here?! That’s impossible! What have I told you about talking to strange computers?
Come back next week and see if your choice is played out in our complete Developer Walkthrough video!


New Avatars Released
Ready to scare your fellow community members with your new pic? Try out one of the six new avatars for the Star Wars community featuring creatures from Star Wars™: The Old Republic™. And don’t worry, these avatars don’t smell as bad as they look (except for the Tauntaun of course).

Check out the original article to see the new avatars and other images!

The thirteenth issue of Threat of Peace™ begins with Lieutenant Tavus deftly maneuvering his starship to destroy the Mandalorian Raiders and rescue Satele and SP-99. As Tavus, Satele, and Orgus discuss the attack on the Envoy and what to do next, a darker series of events unfolds on the Imperial Transport ship. Learning of the Bounty Hunter’s escape, Captain Sivill orders the Wookiee Mercenary Dalborra to execute Master Dar’Nala…

Guild Hall -> Guild Hall Changes Coming Monday
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 14.08.2009 um 16:17 Uhr

Hi Everyone,

We’ve heard your feedback and are ready to make some changes to the Guild Hall starting on Monday.

Our main goals for the previous changes to the Guild Hall were to organize guilds in an easier-to-find format and prevent the massive amounts of spam and bump posts that guilds were creating in the recruitment section. We want you to have an environment where you can easily communicate with fellow Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ fans and build and reinforce your guild for the game’s launch.

Since you’ve all pretty much stated that you enjoyed having Guild Recruitment sub-forums, we are bringing back the Sith Empire and Galactic Republic recruitment sub-forums and adding a new “Undecided” sub-forum. While we did play around with the idea of making these sections fully moderated in order to stay nice and clean, we decided that we were going to see how the forums develop with a more detailed rule-set in place. We’ll get to the rules later, but there are other changes to talk about.

The new Guild Recruitment sub-forums will be created from scratch. We’re sorry if you wanted to keep your old posts, but we need to start with a fresh clean forum and get rid of the bumped and spammed posts that clogged up the old sub-forums. We’ll make sure to strongly enforce the new rules so that everyone knows what is and is not acceptable. Again, we apologize if you wanted to keep a specific post, we promise that this is for the greater good of the Guild Hall!

No changes will be made to the Looking for Guild thread and the main section of the Guild Hall; only previous Guild Recruitment threads will be removed.

Now onto the new rules - which are basically the old rules, but a bit more specific
Quote:

GUILD RECRUITMENT RULES & GUIDELINES

* This section is used for Guild Recruitment discussion only. Please use this section as a recruitment tool and not a general chat thread for your guild. If you would like to create a chat thread for your guild, please do so in the Off Topic forums.

* This section is specifically for guilds that are recruiting. If you are looking to join a guild, please use the Official Looking for a Guild thread found in the main Guild Hall area.

* If you are looking for a guild, please make sure to follow the instructions in the desired guild's recruitment thread before posting. Some guilds require that you apply in a certain format, including posting in their private forums. Practice good judgment before divulging any personal information about yourself.

* Duplicate postings, spam, bumping and trolling posts are not allowed and will be removed and the user may be warned or given infractions.
* Bashing of other guilds or attempting to cross-advertise will not be tolerated.

* Please remember that the quality of your posts is more important than the quantity.

Examples of good posts topics inside your guild thread: Website upgrades, new member announcements, questions from non-members, guild “meetings” or gatherings, and answers to guild inquiries.

Examples of bad post topics inside your guild thread: Guild chatter “Has anyone seen X movie or played X game?”, bump posts, negative posts about other guilds, repeated posts about the same topic.

As always, please keep your postings constructive and on topic. If you have any questions about the Guild Recruitment Rules and Guidelines, please feel free to send a private message to a moderator, or email bwacommunitysupport@bioware.com.

Good luck with your guild recruitments!
 

General Discussion -> Friday's Update - August 14th, 2009
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 14.08.2009 um 03:03 Uhr

Hey all!

Sorry about posting so late. Trying to make sure a few things are in order before I fly overseas.

Currently, tomorrow's update looks to be a Fan Friday and Threat of Peace #13. Looking at the calendar of updates we hope to bring to all of you (I saw hope because sometimes things can change), this Friday will be the lightest day we'll have for a little while, at least.

Next week is pretty exciting; just the Developer Walkthrough video alone will be an eye catcher. We are looking to release that next Friday (on the website, demos will be going on every day at the convention) so if you happen to want to take a break for this Friday, definitely come back next week.

After that, we do have some reveals coming up. As I said before, the craziness of the convention season is almost over (for now, at least). Starting with GamesCom and going through PAX and beyond, we have some great things planned for everyone.

Again, thank all of you for the patience you've shown. We understand that there has been a little bit of a lull since the beginning of June (since after E3) but, starting next week, that is over. And no, we're not going back to the way things were just before E3... the cadence will pick up some. We're not going from a steady walk straight into a sprint but we'll be working up to a good jog at least.

A few of you have brought up the "screenshot of the week" idea. This is something we will look at doing (in the future) but our original updates were that way; spread over time instead of using the "bundled" approach we use now. There were actually a lot of complaints about us doing that so we changed to the new way which, overall, has been much better received. We are also about quality over quantity and, without going into details, every asset you see gets seen by a variety of people here.

For those of you who are attending GamesCom, definitely come by the TOR Cantina and said hi (and come see the live demo, too!). I should be there most of the time (it is the Community Cantina, after all).

This is as good a thread as any to post in
I don't have an update for you at this time but I should tomorrow. Whatever it is, I will go ahead and reiterate what I've said for the last few weeks... this is the calm before the storm. As you all know, next week we'll be at GamesCom and we'll be posting our Developer Walkthrough video here on the site for those of you who can't join us there.

What else do we have planned? All I will say is that we're definitely thankful and appreciative to our community that has been patient and that the things will definitely be picking up soon. Convention season is always a fun and bumpy ride but once that is over (for the time being), we get back into our cadence with a better beat.

During our Community Team meeting today, we talked about the situation as a whole; from the community comments to the reasons the changes were implemented to what adjustments we might make.

Currently, the plan is to re-open the sub-forums and add a new one for those guilds that are currently undecided as to where their allegiances lie. We will then move the guild listings to these forums.

While we are reinstating these forums, there will be some changes. We want guilds to have an area to actively promote and discuss what makes their guild unique. To ensure these areas are used properly and not just "spammed", we will be fully moderating (posts must be approved) the discussions in these areas.

More details for this will be coming soon but we wanted to let you all know that we have been listening and are planning to make some adjustments.
Hi All,

Just to let you know we are still planning to change the Guild Hall forums. We are currently in the process of determining if the (fully) moderated approval system is actually the best method to go with. We may just elaborate more rules and guidelines for the recruitment areas and ensure that everyone works within them. We plan to have the new system up and running, including the new “Undecided” section, next week and will give you any updates if that changes.

Thank you for all of your feedback and we hope that we've come to a place where guilds feel like they can recruit and promote without having to deal with constant bumps and spammers.

Thanks,
Amy

News and Announcements -> Developer Blog: Creating the Smuggler
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 07.08.2009 um 18:36 Uhr

Senior Writer Hall Hood shares a little bit of insight in creating the spirited adventurers of the Republic known as the Smugglers.
Quote:
Of all the stories in our game, the Smuggler ones are specifically written with an emphasis on humor and romance. If you’re playing this class, you get to say the funniest things (usually at the least appropriate times), and are always on the lookout for people who find charming rogues irresistible. You’ll be flirting with or laughing at the most exciting personalities in the galaxy: crime lords, gamblers, Bounty Hunters, senators, nobles, spies, Jedi and even Sith.
Make sure to read the entire article!

And if you plan on attending GamesCom later this month, let us know!

Yes, it isn't the "volume" we listen to, it's the quality of the feedback we pay the most attention to. When we get constructive criticism on why people dislike a change (or like it), that is much more helpful than people just solely stating they don't like it.

Bumping and Spamming does nothing to add value to a conversation. Nor does it really do anything to promote a guild. Just because a guild recruitment thread has 500+ posts in it doesn't make it an active guild; it could be simply four or so members in it talking about what they had for breakfast.

Is there anything wrong with guild members being social? Definitely not but there are appropriate places (on the web) to do that. The Recruitment areas are places for guilds to promote their guild by talking about it or posting guild-relevant updates and by answering questions others may have about it. Guild members posting about a tv show they watched the previous night or posting "/bump 10ch4tw" or having flame wars really adds nothing to that.

Having run a few guilds previously too, I can relate to what you're talking about. Some years ago, I wrote an article called "To Rule an Empire" which expressed my personal views on guild management (at the time).

In the future, we will have updates on the web pertaining to how The Old Republic will assist guilds. These recruitment forums are for the "here and now".

As all of you are aware, we've had a few changes in this area of the community lately. We've been closing watching the community feedback on this to see how the changes were received.

During our Community Team meeting today, we talked about the situation as a whole; from the community comments to the reasons the changes were implemented to what adjustments we might make.

Currently, the plan is to re-open the sub-forums and add a new one for those guilds that are currently undecided as to where their allegiances lie. We will then move the guild listings to these forums.

While we are reinstating these forums, there will be some changes. We want guilds to have an area to actively promote and discuss what makes their guild unique. To ensure these areas are used properly and not just "spammed", we will be fully moderating (posts must be approved) the discussions in these areas.

Shutting down the guild forums and disallowing guild leaders, guild members, and other general members to post in respectable guild threads is a bad decision. It in no way benefits the Structure of this community. It in no way benefits the Activity of this community. Furthermore, it will Negatively Impact your community. Finally, it has a adverse effect on Guild Recruitment.


Structure

First and foremost, this is not going to help your community's structure. Inevitably, many of these types of decisions are made by people that do not have the pulse of their community. This is not saying Bioware as a whole does not have the pulse. It's saying the person(s) responsible do not. Therefore, a lot of the time, these folks will make these changes thinking it will increase the structure in the community and lessen the load on moderators. In fact, this is quite FALSE. It has the opposite effect. Shutting down guild forums does nothing but funnel posters into the main forums, causing the over breeding of Trolls. You will find that your troll posts, your flame posts, and your off topic posts increase one hundred fold because of this decision. Why? Simple - a lot of these types of posts were reserved for the Guild Hall in their respective Guild Forum. Furthermore, many guild leaders will now send their guild members abroad to post random crap to get their guild noticed (via the signature) as their guild hall topic is no longer available to give advertisement (our studies at Legend-Gaming have found guild recruitment topics to be the #1 source of recruitment). Those who do not know history are doomed to follow it. Want citations for these stories above? Simply do some studies on the Darkfall forums (also known as Forumfall or Forumfail). Adventurine did the same thing and it negatively impacted their community.


Activity

You will find the activity of your community decreasing as a result of this ludicrous decision. It's simple to realize that a good bit of your forum activity resides in the guild hall. Why? Simple - guild leaders mandate their members to post in their guild topic. Don't believe me? Take a stroll to many of these guild sites, including my own, and read their rules. What will these guild leaders do now that you can't post in their guild forums? Some will mandate their members to go post random crap in random places hoping folks see their guild signature. Read above under structure for more info on that. Others, like myself, will just roll our eyes and remove that rule from our rulebook. What does this mean? It's simple - those members who were here posting only because they were forced too by their guild leaders will not come here anymore. I can almost guarantee you that about 40% of my membership will stop posting here now and stop visiting. That's just one guild. How many other guilds will be the same? See Forumfail and other examples of this to understand my argument here. History always tends to repeat itself.


Negative Impact

The last thing you want to do is negatively impact your community. But this decision will do just that. As I alluded to in the Structure paragraph, many folks will cease their random style posting in their guild forums and will begin doing the same thing in random forums across your community. This will create a large amount of off topic posts, trolling, and general nonsense. Furthermore, as we saw on other Pre-game forums such as Forumfall, guild leaders will send their members out to recruit via posting everywhere they can. Inevitably, this leads to arguments and flame wars. Obviously, guild members will begin starting arguments across the forums. The guilds that win the most arguments or get the most attention from their loud mouthed flamers will get the most members - this can be seen in WoW and other games. Obviously a direct example of this is Adventurine's forumfall.


Guild Recruitment

Guilds will have a tough time recruiting now. As I said earlier, the #1 tool for recruitment for many guilds is their guild topic on a game's official forums. We are 100% certain this is the primary source of most of our recruits in the last three games we've played over the last four years. But do not think I am saying this because my community draws a majority of it's applicants from the guild hall. I could care less about my recruitment as we're about to shut ours down (we're at our member cap). So this does not effect me. But it effects a lot of others. The bigger your guild thread and the more active it is; the more recruits you get. It's simple mathematics and exposure. Plus many possible recruits simply glance at the guild hall forums, find the most active guild thread, and apply there. Trust me, this happens A LOT. But this is now replaced with a "Guild Announcement" type system. The same system that random forum members have been employing via sticky threads. How many people actually look at those sticky threads? Not many. Hell people don't read that stuff at all - just look at all the work your moderators have to do to shutdown random "looking for guild threads" or random "Join my guild threads" in the main Guild Hall forum. You think it's bad now? People do not read stickies. This is the #1 rule of Forums. Now your going to base your entire new design around a system that has existed via a sticky forum for nearly 6 months now - a sticky no one looked at hardly. Furthermore, you're limiting a guild's right and ability to advertise via a high exposure, active guild thread.


It's simple Bioware. Do this, and you're going to negatively impact guild recruitment, forum cohesion, forum structure, and forum activity. Want further proof? Just do as I said and research the past MMOs during pre-game phase. Which ones thrived and which ones faltered? Of those communities, which had a closed guild hall? It's ever so obvious when you look at it and calculate.

Thanks to all who read this.

FYI if anyone has a email address I can send this too to protest it to Bioware, by all means let me know. Obviously I'd pm it to some 'official' folks, but the 5k char limit in PMs prevents me *sigh*
Drah, thanks for your feedback on this (and everyone else who did, too). We are talking internally about the community reaction and seeing where we may (or may not) make some adjustments based on that.

We'll post more on this later but I just wanted to let you all know that we are listening and appreciate the constructive feedback we've been getting.

- Sean

We usually tend to pre-announce the updates (at least for the last few months) a few days in advance. Sometimes we don't get as elaborate in the explanation (for example, I didn't stay that Video Document #3 would be a video) but when they are a smaller update, we do try to give a heads up. Best bet is check on Wednesday or Thursday for the latest "Friday" thread.

General Discussion -> Friday's Update - July 31st, 2009
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 31.07.2009 um 22:48 Uhr

There was a complication with someone on our internal website (that we use to prepare all of our updates so they can be properly QA'd). This has been rectified and I'm starting to get everything ready now to bring Threat of Peace #12 live...

In case anyone missed it, today's update is the Threat of Peace:

Speaking of GamesCom and PAX, I wanted to go ahead and let all of you know things may be a little quiet around here for the next few weeks. For example, this week's update with be Threat of Peace #12.

After we get through these next few weeks, we have a lot of content in store for all of you. Our updates at the convention (and after them) will also include updates to the website for those of you who can't join us there. And yes, there will be some new reveals as well as the Gameplay Demo Walkthrough video.

For those of you who normally just check in for our weekly updates and want to know what's going up before coming to the site, we have a few things for you.

If you're using a RSS Reader, make sure to add The Old Republic RSS News to it.

We also bring the information to the places you are at; whenever we have an update on the official website, we also bring these releases to you on some of the social networks. You can find pages for The Old Republic at the following:
Sedit, we do a variety of updates that are crafted just for the Community here; Developer Blogs and Developer Dispatches are more meaningful to people who have been paying attention to the fine details and probably not as informative to people who haven't been paying as much attention to the community or game.

Back to today's update, we plan on releasing it around 2pm (central). Next week is currently planned to be a Developer's Blog (we'll see if Arehonn is right) but I'll bring that up again next week in case plans change (sometimes they do).
 

Website Feedback and Support -> Tags Disabled
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 31.07.2009 um 17:54 Uhr

We have disabled the use of tags in the community section. This is due to the fact that it was very database intensive and causing some performance concerns.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

The danger in answering that is that the further out something is, the greater the chance it is going to change. So I can talk with much more confidence as to what is releasing this week as opposed to what is releasing three (3) months from now.

And this ties in to how we do release our information. We only want to release things we are confident in having little to no changes. As you saw in the interview with Dallas and Jake onIGN, we haven't talked much about the multiplayer dialogue system outside of confirming its existence. We are still testing and iterating on it and until we feel the design is not only solid but implemented and working the way we want it to, we won't be talking about the details of it much.

This is how we are with all of our information. And while I know waiting can seem to take an eternity, we feel it is much better for the community in the long run to release accurate information on how something does work instead of how we hope or plan on things to work.

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 30.07.2009 um 18:10 Uhr

Understandably, some of you are not ecstatic with the original post on this thread (yes, they do call me Captain Obvious sometimes...). As I explained a few weeks ago, the convention season can (and will) be a little different than the other parts of the year. During this time of year, our announcements are planned around events such as E3, Comic-Con, GamesCom, PAX.

We also figured giving you a heads up now on the next few weeks would be better than just waiting for each Friday to come about and say "Here's Threat of Peace #12". There are other updates planned between now and then, for example we have a Developer's Blog coming up but as I said, things will be a little light. During and after GamesCom, things definitely pick up.

That said, we've kept to having at least one major announcement each month. June seemed different because most of our updates all happened in the first few days and the rest of the month basically reiterated those updates. This month we had Timeline #3 as well as Video Documentary #3. Next month we have the Gameplay Demo Walkthrough and other things and September also has some great updates.

One thing I'd like to point out is our updates aren't just geared towards the core community here but also for the wider community that follows The Old Republic. That is why we point out the updates in multiple places. I already know that all of you who are on the forums are going to see things even before I post them. But some of our fans wait till they see the update in the newsletter, on one of the social networks, or exists on the front page of the website. So we try to craft thing with all segments of our community in mind.
 

News and Announcements -> Jake Neri and Hall Hood on The Old Republic [ZAM]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 30.07.2009 um 16:57 Uhr

During Comic-Con International, ZAM had a chance to sit down with Jake Neri, Producer from LucasArts, and Hall Hood, Senior Writer from BioWare. Here's an excerpt from the article:
Quote:
ZAM: What are some of the most unique features of the game that you think will make it stand out?

Jake Neri: We've talked a lot about story; we think that's going to be tremendous for the game. When you've seen the game [showcased] in the past or even in the latest developer's log, there's a different kind of pace to the combat. We're really focused on high, action-packed, "reminiscent-of-the-movie"-style combat. It's been a goal of BioWare from day one. We've talked a lot about what we were going to do with combat and we always [knew we wanted] it to be cinematic. We can never quite describe that [as accurately as we'd like], but I think now that people are actually seeing it, it's coming to life—I think that's a huge differentiating factor. It's not slow; you're a level four or five guy with really, really exciting abilities—the Bounty Hunter flamethrower? I don't even think the character we've shown is level eight yet, and you've got that ability—you're melting faces, you're feeling like a total bad-***. That's something we're going to try to run with as much as we can.

News and Announcements -> Star Wars: The Old Republic - Exhaustive Q&A [IGN]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 25.07.2009 um 01:33 Uhr

Last week we asked if you had any questions for IGN; this week those questions have been answered (at least some of them):
Quote:
July 24, 2009 - Star Wars: The Old Republic is easily one of the biggest games on the horizon, both figuratively and literally. The sci-fi MMORPG will represent BioWare's first attempt at creating a massively multiplayer online game, but it also builds upon its classic single-player RPG Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. At the same time, BioWare and LucasArts are promising an incredible amount of content that's staggering. Each class will have its own storyline that's the equivalent of a single-player RPG, and each character will be fully voiced, just like in a single-player BioWare game. Keep in mind, there are potentially thousands of characters that we're talking about.

LucasArts and BioWare will host a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday where attendees will be able to ask the developers about the game. But since everyone can't be at Comic-Con, we had an opportunity earlier this week to talk to Dallas Dickinson, senior content producer at BioWare Austin, and Jake Neri, producer at LucasArts. We talked to them about player-versus-player gameplay, the story, the classes, and more.

Dickinson joined us over the phone from Austin, Texas, and Neri was on the phone from LucasArts' offices in the Presidio of San Francisco. Last week, we began soliciting questions from readers to ask them, and we were inundated with them; there were more than 30 pages when printed out. We got many questions that covered the same ground, so we consolidated many of them. Now, keep in mind, the game is still in the middle of development, so there are a number of topics that LucasArts and BioWare aren't prepared to answer quite yet.

I've been reading those myself. If you find you like them, they have most of them available in volumes (1-6 currently). Interesting to see how some of the characters in the comic turn into the characters in the game (KOTOR, that is).

After seeing the Comic-con 2009 starts now through July 27, wouldn't it be great to see some interesting comic showing us a summary of the lore of the game or what happened just a few years before the game untill now (what happened in those 300 years from KOTOR2 till now?)? If actually there is one, i'll more that gladly accept my own stupidness of creating such a useless thread. But, wouln'd it be a clever marketing move to introduce a comic about this new MMO?
We actually have two things you might be interested in.
  • First is our Threat of Peace™ webcomic. Threat of Peace is being developed as a collaborative venture between BioWare, LucasArts, and Dark Horse Comics. Written in conjunction with the BioWare writing team working on Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ and produced by the comic experts at Dark Horse, the comic will offer readers a dramatic introduction to the Old Republic time period and many of the characters who appear in the game.
  • The second item you might also be interested in is our Timeline videos. Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ is set during a unique time period in the galaxy’s history. Decades of war concluded with the Sith Empire sacking the Republic’s capital planet, Coruscant, and forcing Republic Senators and the Jedi Council to agree to a painful peace treaty.

    In the years following the treaty, the Jedi Council tasked Master Gnost-Dural, Keeper of the Jedi Archives, with re-examining the galaxy’s history in light of recent events. In his insightful reports, Master Gnost-Dural established a new galactic timeline that became an educational reference for years to come… the very same years in which Star Wars: The Old Republic takes place.

Hope these help out and if you're still at Comic-Con, make sure to stop by the Dark Horse or LucasArt booths and get a signed copy of the Threat of Peace from the artist and writer (more info).

Not every update is going to please everyone. That is why we put out announcements in a variety of ways so that people can be notified of the update and see if it is something they want to read more about.

Aside from the social networks and RSS Feeds, we also have a newsletter that we send out whenever we have a major announcement. For example, last Friday we sent out our fifth Newsletter highlighting Video Documentary #3. So if you just want to be made aware of the major announcements, go into your account and make sure you are signed up to receive Star Wars: The Old Republic update by email.

And if you are already here because you're discussing various aspects of The Old Republic, you just have to keep your eye on the News and Announcements section and see if a new thread pops up there.

Roleplay and Play-by-Post Forum -> Roleplaying Welcome Thread! Post Here First!
Beitrag von ErickAdams am 18.07.2009 um 20:01 Uhr

Hey Everyone!

I can't speak for the rest of the TOR Community Team, but personally am really glad to see such a large number of Role Play, Story, and Fan Fiction driven people in our community. From my perspective, that goes a long way towards making this place feel like home!

I've been an active Role-Player for a number of years and learned many valuable life-lessons from the paper and pencil genre. Most notably: "If you are going to leave d4 scattered on your bedroom floor, don't walk around barefoot!"

Currently I'm in an active RP/Raiding guild in a popluar MMO ((Why, yes. I DO believe that my character would tell your character not to stand in the fire.)) and am fortunate that, while we aren't elitists by any stretch of the imagination, most of the people in our story-lines are much better at it than I am. Still learning. Always learning
I haven't really settled on any real persona or back story for when the game releases, but lately have been working on something where I answer people's questions and help them in finding their way around. So if you have questions or issues that need addressing, perhaps we can put a story-line together. *winks almost imperceptibly*

Word play (like bad character name puns) is a favorite way to break up the monotony. Besides...after a day of rolling and rerolling characters, coming up with names for all of them can be pretty hard. >.<
These are totally "for fun" names. As a side note; it does have the added benefit of helping lookers-on identify what character class(es) they may be viewing at a quick glance!
 

General Discussion -> Discuss Video Documentary #3 - The Voice of The Old Republic
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 18.07.2009 um 01:30 Uhr

First, let me state that the poll on this thread is not an official poll nor did I make it. It was from another thread merged with this one.

Let me also go ahead and say that no, this is not the announcement for the demo gameplay video. When that comes, you will find an update in the stick'd thread in this forum.

Last but not least, we are fully aware that the game is not done. If it was, you'd be playing it now instead of just watching a video of it. We feel it is in a great state but it's definitely not done yet.

Anyways, I hope all of you are enjoying today's updates (Threat of Peace 11 came out today, too!) and we have some great things in store for you coming up "Soon™"

Beitrag von AlysonBridge am 17.07.2009 um 00:04 Uhr

I was thinking about Jabba the Hutt the other day, and what he would look like if he had an allergic reaction to something he ate. Would you even be able to tell he was having an allergic reaction? Maybe he’d turn all purple or start hitting himself. Or perhaps, the Hutt race is, by nature, allergic to being alive.

Anyway, I’m Alyson. I’m a professional gamer and a professional ninja (Sean’s Edit: Not really). I’m new to BioWare, and I spend most of my days with Sean sneaking up on me trying to scare my hiccups away. I told you, Sean, I was just coughing. Geez. (Sean’s Edit: Really? 100 times a day?) The Old Republic has me super pumped - you guys probably feel the same way. I’m looking forward to our Star Wars times together – we can spend quality forum moments with each other in text-form. Good times!

I know there have been a lot of questions about what tomorrow's update is... at this time, we're not announcing what exactly it is. But I will go ahead and dispel a few rumors.
  • The update tomorrow is not an announcement about the gameplay demo
  • The update tomorrow is not an announcement about testing
  • The update tomorrow is not a class or planet reveal
What is it then? Well, I'd recommend tuning in tomorrow to find out! And while it is not one of the above, it is definitely an update most (if not all) of you will enjoy!

In the meanwhile, I'd like to introduce two (2) new members of the Community Team: Alyson Bridge and Erick Adams! Both Alyson and Erick will be helping in bringing information to the community in a variety of ways as well as helping us bring your responses back to the rest of the team.

So, without further ado, welcome aboard!

General Discussion -> How linear will this game be?
Beitrag von DanielErickson am 16.07.2009 um 19:25 Uhr

Will we be able to pick between certain main quest missions or quest hubs (Much like choosing a planet to go to in KoTOR)?Will we have our much beloved BioWare side quests? If so, will these side quests be tailored to the faction, class, or planet? Will we be able to replay certain flashpoints without having to join someone else's group?

I guess my main concern is that this focus on story may lead to gameplay that is far more linear then the typical BioWare game, let alone an MMO.

What does everyone else think?
Although we still can't talk a great deal about the specifics, the examples from other BioWare games are good ones. It's important to have a story that gives definition and context to all of your experiences in the game—from the first level to the last--but still leaves a great deal of room for Players to choose what they want to do at any one time. Taking one of the movie examples we often turn to: Luke may be in the middle of training on Dagobah but when he learns his friends are doing the Cloud City quests he better be able to go join in!

Director of Audio Shauna Perry gives a little insight into the processes of working on one of the largest voice-over projects in entertainment history.
Quote:
I was excited for the chance to work with the LucasArts Audio team. They had done the VO for a previous BioWare game, Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™, before I joined the company and it had been very well received. In fact, when I joined the world of VO production for games, my goal was to match the KOTOR quality bar.

But – The Old Republic would have at least ten times the lines of dialogue of KOTOR. Since neither BioWare nor LucasArts had experience on a project of this magnitude, this was an exciting and intimidating challenge. BioWare would be responsible for providing the reams and reams of scripts, as well as, managing the writing/VO production schedule. The LucasArts team would be responsible for finding the actors, recording and post processing the dialogue.

So how do we do it?

Since neither BioWare nor LucasArts had experience on a project of this magnitude, this was an exciting and intimidating challenge. BioWare would be responsible for providing the reams and reams of scripts, as well as, managing the writing/VO production schedule. The LucasArts team would be responsible for finding the actors, recording and post processing the dialogue.

So how do we do it?

Just because I have seen a few, ahem, wild rumors already in this thread, I would like to point out one thing. A Developer Blog generally elaborates more on something already announced. Very rarely will we make a major announcement in them (and I say very rarely even though we currently have nothing planned to do a major announcement via a DevBlog... but you never know what the future may hold).

We do have a newsletter that you can sign up for. Currently, the newsletter goes out every two (2) months but we will be changing that to a monthly newsletter in a few months.

Currently the plan is to put up a Developer's Blog but sometimes there are changes or issues that cause us to change these updates at the last minute. That is why we usually don't announce too far ahead what is "coming" because the further out we are, the more the potential for that date to be adjusted there is.

News and Announcements -> STAR WARS: The Old Republic previewed by GamesRadar
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 07.07.2009 um 04:40 Uhr

GamesRadar recently had a chance to sit down with Rich Vogel and Gordon Walton. Here's an excerpt from the article written based on that interview:
Quote:
Even at this early stage, The Old Republic is as polished, as playable and as slick as... that other major MMO. Why? How? Because BioWare Austin, the studio responsible, have paid attention to the details from the very start. And their ambition seems limitless. They want to make an MMORPG that encapsulates the essence of their single-player games: a true online sequel to classics like Knights of the Old Republic and Baldur’s Gate. They want to make a game with proficient, modern production values, fully voiced cutscenes and multi-threaded conversations. They want to reduce the grind – removing the tedious fetch 10 and kill 20 quests that plague the genre – and tie everything into their story. They want to introduce genuine consequence, giving parties of players the kind of moral choices their single-player games have become famous for. Except that in this world, there are no save games, no chances to go back and see what might have happened.
There are a few minor inaccuracies in the article; for example, we have eight (8) classes, not 6 and while class stories themselves are unique, you can share content with other members of your faction if you choose to (the "flashpoint" shown at E3 is a good example of that).

You can read the entire article and get some more insight into the making of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

General Discussion -> Forum Mods vs In-Game GMs
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 03.07.2009 um 21:17 Uhr

First, this thread has been closed.

Second, since you seem to be missing the point of the system and wish to disregard messages on this, I'll just be very clear.

There are various rules for this community and the layman's version of that is simply don't insult other members and keep discussions to The Old Republic in a constructive manner. It's really that simple.

There is no reason to have to call people names or be insulting to get a point across. If you can't get your point across without doing that, I'd recommend finding elsewhere to discuss The Old Republic because you will be in violation of our Terms of Service and Rules of Conduct which you agreed to when you created your account.

This thread is a perfect example. The topic is valid and I can understand the desire to want to talk about it... but instead of being civil, you have to throw in a little name calling and various other insults.

You could of simply made this same thread/post by saying:

Quote:
Will the in-game GMs be the same as the Community Representatives on the forums?

The reason I ask is I disagree with how they manage things on here. It seems everything has to be too politically correct. I can't call someone an idiot without getting a Warning or Infraction on here. Will I get this same thing in-game?

And will this same thing happen when "roleplaying". If I'm on an RP server, if I /spit or use /rude towards another player... those are game functions specifically made for that.

I don't believe I'm alone on this subject because I have heard it voiced before. What do you think?
Practically saying the same thing constructively without the bile and derogatory remarks.

- Sean

AAT: You never received an Infraction or Warning for saying "kick your butt". The terminology you used was much worse than that. If you have feedback on a Warning or Infraction you do feel was unfair, there is an email address within each one that allows you to contact the Community Team Manager and Sr. Community Coordinator.
 

General Discussion -> I just noticed something disheartening about the Timeline page.
Beitrag von RobChestney am 03.07.2009 um 20:47 Uhr

The number of holorecord entries indicated on the Timeline page is not related to any intended release date for the game. We planned the Timeline stories around historical events we wanted to explore in the series. The game is on its own schedule.

We know how hard it is to be patient about a game you're really excited about. We can't wait for TOR to be released either. Hang in there...

The Keeper of the Jedi Archives has entered a new holorecord. Continuing his investigation, Master Gnost-Dural delves deeper into the history of the galaxy after discovering that the blockade that Hylo Visz helped end was a result of the actions of the new Mandalore.

BTC 8 – During a Republic resurgence in the Great War, a bold young warrior rose to fame in the Gladiatorial arenas on Geonosis. Adopting the ancient and infamous title of Mandalore, this young leader amassed an army of Mandalorian mercenaries and bounty hunters. The new Mandalore led his forces to form a blockade and challenge the Jedi Order, effectively turning the tide of the war back in the Sith Empire’s favor.

Watch the third Timeline holorecord, The Return of the Mandalorians, narrated by actor Lance Henriksen.

This one will have a download link and also a link to the previous two Timelines (for download). We don't have a download option on the actual Timeline page (yet) but I also place them in the media section so they work like the other videos for downloads.

I am geniunely interested in what stops you guys from uploading it a week prior then flipping the proverbial switch to making it live?
I have everything propped on our internal server but we there are quite a few ingenious people in our community that can find practically anything when we put it on the live site. For example, I put up the Smuggler Class icon for the forums a week or so early and they found it within 24 hours and speculations began. So I tend to wait till just an hour before the update goes live to prop it to the production environment. That way it's a surprise for all. Although, sooner or later, I will want to start adding some "Easter Eggs" to the site for people to uncover and send them on an adventure...

As with the webcomic, we don't have to "end" the Timelines with the launch of the game. In fact, wouldn't it be more interesting if they continued and once we reached the "beginning" of history, we then continued forward?

Suggestion Box -> No... Leveling ?
Beitrag von DamionSchubert am 29.06.2009 um 04:35 Uhr

The design team believes that one of the hallmarks of both great Bioware products and of the strongest MMOs is a solid character progression system. By this, we think characters should get stronger, they should gain more flexibility (i.e. more abilities or other choices to make in combat), and they should be presented with different avenues for character development within their class.

There are multiple ways to build an advancement system in an MMO. We did indeed choose to go with a level-based system for SW:TOR. It seemed to be the best system to align with our other goals for the game, including the story progression elements. Our version of advancement gives greater returns for questing and story than simply killing critters.

Regarding the grind: level systems aren't inherently bad, and in fact are a lot of fun in a lot of games, both MMOs and not. A leveling system (and indeed, any advancement system) becomes a grind when it is poorly tuned - when it's too slowly paced, when its uneven (i.e. 'hell levels'), when the rewards are poorly paced (i.e. no rewards between levels 35-39 but several at level 40), or when the advancement system acts as a barrier between you and what you really want to do. When this happens, people stop just enjoying the game and start looking for ways to maximize their advancement efficiency. This is when people start talking about there being a 'grind'. Put another way, the 'grind' is a symptom of a bigger problem, that being the act of progressing your character isn't inherently fun on its own.

Again, this is no way limited to level-based systems - I've certainly played MMOs without levels where players 'grinded' up their skills, their abilities, or their faction reputations, among other things. Still, we're pretty sure we have a handle on how to keep the advancement path smooth but interesting, and advancement rate is one of the things that we've been asking our players about in all of our internal playtesting.

I hope to have today's update posted before noon (Central Time). I also understand that some of you are frustrated with some of our updates. The best advice I can give is follow the game through different avenues in the meanwhile. We do updates to our various social network pages whenever we put an update live; We have pages on Facebook (note our Facebook URL has changed), MySpace, and Twitter and if you friend or follow us on those, you'll have the update notifications delivered to you where you're at. We also have RSS feeds on our site.

Updates will come when they come, though. We're not launching the game this month or next month and while we'd love to show you all of our crazy ideas, history has shown us that it is much better to release information when its ready and working as intended in the game.

We will also be showing all of you the Demo, as posted in another thread. When and where will be released in the next several weeks (minus a week or so since one has gone past since I posted that).

I hate to be the bearer of unwelcome news but no, we will not be displaying the Demo Footage at Comic-Con. We will actually have an update as to what is going on with TOR @ Comic-Con tomorrow.

In concerns of the demo, I'll just reiterate my post from the other thread:

Website Feedback and Support -> How Many Generic Infractions = A Ban?

For the first offense, a warning is usually given. While a warning does not add any Infraction Points, the warning itself will remain on your account until it expires.

Members are rarely suspended for the first few offenses unless it was something overly derogatory or offensive. That said, the more Infraction Points a member accumulates, the more severe the consequences. Having too many Infraction Points can lead to an account being fully moderated (meaning members of the Community Team must approve each of their posts), suspended for a period of time, or even permanently banned.

Most Infractions only accrue one (1) Infraction Point on their account that exists for thirty (30) days. If you receive more than one Infraction for that particular reason, they will be additive. For example, if you get an Infraction for "Spam" twice within a 30 day span, it will add 30 days to whatever was left from the original Infraction. That said, more severe Infractions add more points to your account and they take longer to expire.

If you accrue too many points, you are placed into various levels of suspension. For example, if you accrue 7 or more points within a timeframe, you will be given a 24-hour cool off period. The more points you accrue after that, the longer the timeout and, ultimately, that account will be permanently banned if the user continues to violate the rules and guidelines of this community.

If you wonder how many Infractions you have, you can view them on your account (click on your name at the top of the page) and look for the Infractions tab (you'll see About Me, Statistics, Friends, Infractions, Contact Info). If you don't see an Infractions tab, that means you don't have any!

Ultimately, the system is in place to make members aware of conduct not appropriate for this community and our goal is to make a place where community members can discuss the various aspects of The Old Republic civilly without being insulted.

General Discussion -> Story vs repetitive content?
Beitrag von KyleGarner am 23.06.2009 um 18:31 Uhr

Between a lot of the posts here, you’ve got the right idea. The class content has zero repeated content all the way thru.. and that’s on top of the MMO play. The writers pulled out all the stops making sure classes experience unique things specifically tailored to them.. this doesn’t stop at the dialog or unique characters but also includes special places too. We’re not talking about some tiny closet with a quest dude either, but complete scenes and seriously involved crawls. There’s no exaggeration of having more content than the rest of the BW games put together.

Disclaimer: Cannot disclose specifics.. But If you’re playing a skull crackin’ trooper, the way to see what’s going on with your cover-seeking Smuggler buddy is grouping with them to experience ‘their’ story and ‘their’ choices. The trooper can also do things to help the smuggler’s story along the way. Or you can roll one up yourself and be in control of the Smuggler action. As for a Bounty Hunter cross-factionally grouping with the Smuggler?!? Maybe not so much.

Missions have all sorts of varying degrees of possible participation with one another too. At E3, the Sith grouped with the Bounty Hunter to experience the same Flash Point and rivaled for choice control at key moments. So if the player ran thru as a Sith, they’d likely see the same content (provided they made the same decisions) the next time that same player ran thru that Flash Point as a Bounty Hunter.

General Discussion -> Interacting with a Single Player Feature in a Multiplayer World (Dialogue Scenes)
Beitrag von JesseSky am 23.06.2009 um 00:23 Uhr

Story is integral to TOR, so the last thing we would want to do is punish players for trying to experience it. Voiced conversations have some clear repercussions in public spaces, as you've observed, but we've examined various systematic solutions to prevent griefing and exploiting. As for skipping dialogue, you can expect something along the lines of Mass Effect, however, we take great pains to ensure that it's never necessary.
 

Suggestion Box -> Don't just listen to the fans...watch what they do
Beitrag von DamionSchubert am 22.06.2009 um 17:21 Uhr

We're a big believer in playtesting, for exactly the reasons you cite. We currently do a lot of internal playtesting (i.e. employees only), and many of our systems and classes have already gone through a lot of iteration based on feedback from those playtests.

I hadn't heard that story about Walt Disney. The story I heard is that Walt bought a hot dog and ate it while walking. When he was done, he was 17 paces away from the hot dog vendor, which to this day is how far away trash cans are from food vendors at Disneyworld.

A similar story I've heard is of the college campus who didn't have any paths in place when they first opened. They let the students run through the campus for a couple of years, and then paved paths where the students foot traffic had started to grind through the grass.

One of the hallmarks of good designers is that they are less attached to their own ideas than they are to observing player behavior, and reacting accordingly (emphasizing the things players like, fixing the things they don't). Design docs and theory will only take you so far - the real test is, as always, how well it actually plays with your hands on the keyboard.

General Discussion -> The Great Release Date Debate!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 20.06.2009 um 02:35 Uhr

This thread is a continuation of the last one. It was closed due to the sheer amount of posts in it.

That's the million dollar question, isn't it?

The average time of development for an MMORPG after the initial press release is about three years. The only catch to this estimation is how long the games themselves were in development prior to the press release. Those estimates can range from six months to two years. TOR has been in development since December 2005. Here are four games with their press release dates to their launch dates.
  • World of Warcraft: Sept. 2, 2001 - Nov. 23, 2004.
  • Warhammer Online: May 18, 2005 - Sept. 18, 2008.
  • Star Wars Galaxies: November 29, 2000 - June 26, 2003.
  • Age of Conan: April 20, 2005 - May 20, 2008.

Now, going with the above pattern, SWTOR should release Q4 2011, but given the already established three years invested development time and EA's fiscal crunch, it's fair to estimate a Q1 2010 or Q2 2010 release.

I've been following the industry since 2001 (when I was 14), and if there's one thing I've noticed is that MMO developers rarely break these trends. The game may be rushed, and while that's deplorable, that's life. We've been patient all this time, we can be patient with a few bugs or balancing issues.
Edit: New information: TOR in Development began Dec. 2005, pushed estimated release dates forward by one quarter.

Discussions that do not pertain to The Old Republic are discouraged. The purpose of this section of the community is to discuss and debate The Old Republic. It is not here to discuss the real world topics that fall outside of this. If you wish to discuss the features and mechanics of the game, this is the correct place. If you are looking to post about the real world versions of this, there are more apt places on the web to do so.

For example, discussing how the "sticky bomb" works for the Trooper in the game is perfectly acceptable. But this community is not the appropriate place to talk about how a "sticky bomb" works in real life.

Hi Teclus,

The voice acting we are referring to is NPC chat. Typed player chat will be filtered using a language filter. Of course, there are going to be situations where people will find ways around a language filter to harass someone or use foul language, and those cases will have to be reported to the Customer Support Team to be dealt with.

I mean there is already a Star Wars Galaxies, and in my opinion it isn't that good. Not saying this won't be of course.

I mean, I'm sure that everyone knows how insanely infuriating it is going to be when the closed beta starts, or even the open beta or final starts. All the glitches, complaints, server problems, maintenance, possible hacking or even botting. It's not as if this MMO, regardless of the creator, will be perfect. I'm sure everyone knows that.

Yes, I realize that on a console it would not have the thousands or millions of players that you could interact with, but all that ever did is cause for a lack of social life and horrendous lag. Not to mention, there will probably be a cash shop for those oh so important items that can only be bought with a credit card or other methods.

It's not as if all these awesome features couldn't be put on the console. Class selection, all the new settings, the classic light side or dark side progression, new force powers, and the like. The only thing not possible would be, like I said before, is the online community. Which even then could probably be adapted to the X-Box live community.

It would certainly save a lot of money that's for sure. I'm positive that the total amount of money required to adequately fit your computer with the necessary parts to get the game running smoothly will undoubtedly be more than that of buying a regular X-box 360 with the game. That's not to say all the people that already have an X-Box 360 anyway. Though that probably isn't a problem for those with a nice job. However, the money aspect is not my main point.

What I'm trying to say in a nut shell is, I think this would be better on a console. The story looks amazing, the game itself looks amazing, but I believe that it could be ported to a console and be much better.

Anyone else think the same or am I alone on that one? Either way feel free to state your opinion. I mean this is only my opinion and it could also be due to the fact that I'm a console lover.

In other words your plea is useless

Perhaps changing their color schemes to something which stand out more will be beneficial.

Example img of how it looks

It is easy to overlook if not paying attention.


It's good that you decided to put up the advanced search though. Helps a good deal with searching. And yes - it finds a lot if searching for "mac" now
Edit: Also the drop down for post/threads looks pretty .... strange when it first displays standard drop down appearance for the seconds before the page downloads entirely and then gets css applied.
Can you give some information on what OS and Browser (including version) you are using?

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 13.06.2009 um 10:53 Uhr

The truth is, I think its more of a problem with the Galactic Republic side. In my office along, I think I'm pretty much the only true "Sith" character. Amy, Rob, and Deb are definitely more on the GR side and Brian probably swaps between the two sides.

I fear I still need to find my apprentice...


Jokes aside, balance is a very important aspect of designing a massively multiplayer online game; class balance, allegiance balance, and much, much more. At the end of the day, to make a good game it also has to be a fair (and balanced) game.

To set expectations, I wouldn't expect it till next week and let's just go ahead and say Friday to be on the safe side. Worse comes to worst, keep a tab on us via the social networks we're on (TOR @ Facebook, MySpace, & Twitter) and I'll make sure to post there whenever we put something up... and on this site too, of course.

Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ reveals the next playable class, the street savvy, credit seeking Smuggler.

Making a profit from the desperate needs of a war-torn galaxy is how the Smuggler earns his credits. Transporting contraband, stolen goods, and highly sought-after fugitives through treacherous trade routes is in high demand, and more and more Smugglers are taking advantage of this opportunity.

Any self-respecting Smuggler must be able to shoot or charm his way out of the most complex predicaments. They must be incredibly quick-witted, able to bargain with the underbelly of society, and most importantly, they must be able to deliver… their lives depend on it.

Find out more about the Smuggler.

Last week we released the cinematic trailer, a blog about the Trooper, and a mini-update in the form of the HoloNet. On top of that, there were numerous articles and videos released with various tidbits of information about The Old Republic. Unsure how you can call that a "dead week".

Let's look at the cinematic. You have Lord Angral (and yes, it is Lord Angral, for those of you who want to argue, please, read the caption below the video), walking into the Jedi temple with the traditional bada** sith cape and robe, slaughtering guards and force pushing them into walls and whatnot. Behind him, you have what traditional Star Wars geeks would consider a "hot" Twi'lek female.

Just for clarity thought I’d pop in and say, that is not Lord Angral, though I see where the confusion comes from in the caption. Lord Angral is the one leading the fleet--see the comic.

E3 2009 has come and gone, with it came new information on Star Wars: The Old Republic -- and fresh concerns. To call BioWare ambitious would be an understatement of vast proportions. Every NPC receiving full voice acting ratcheted up my curiosity as much as it did my eyebrows. We may need a new word to describe the depths of this game's ambition.

As if the voice acting news wasn't enough, BioWare revealed a cinematic trailer that reminded me how powerful this property can truly be, in the right hands. The excitement was so immediately potent that it caused some people to cry "over-hyped!" in the few short minutes between the trailer's beginning and ending.

I think it's time to asses the current situation, and maybe ponder a few things about Star Wars and BioWare.

Star Wars: The Old Republic - E3 2009 - Gophn’s Exclusive Interview

The new games seen at E3 this year were quite diverse and a number of them had major hype before the expo even began. One of these hyped up games was the upcoming MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), Star Wars: The Old Republic. We at Gophn.com were honored to get a last minute meeting with the LucasArts reps on the last day of E3… in fact, it was even the last hour. :wink:

We had a nice Q & A (Questions & Answers) session with the Vice President and Co-Studio Director of BioWare, Gordon Walton. He gave us a nice insight about what the game is about, the timeline that the game is based in, as well as some details about the gameplay & story itself.

We were no able to get the video of the interview (since our HD camcorder was out of battery), but we did get the audio of the interview.

Hope you enjoy the reading the interesting and un-rehearsed interview of Gophn.com and our BioWare rep, Gordon Walton.

Happiness is a Warm Gun
Principal Lead Combat Designer Damion Schubert talks about creating the Trooper class.
Quote:
It was a tense day in the combat design pit. We had completed the first pass of our new character class, the Republic Trooper, and had made it available for the team to play. As part of the process of class development, we run internal playtests and gather feedback from volunteers who offer their time. After our first such playtest with the Trooper, we anxiously gathered around a computer, watching survey results trickle in. We were somewhat nervous. The Trooper is a true design challenge. He has no Force powers to lean on; he doesn’t have a wide array of sexy lightsaber moves. While heavily armored, we didn’t want that armor to provide the Swiss army knife flexibility built into the Bounty Hunter’s power suit. The Trooper is simpler–he has a really big gun and a variety of ways to wreak havoc with it. How would people respond?
Threat of Peace #8
Quote:
The eighth issue of Threat of Peace™ catches up with Jedi Knight Satele Shan and Master Dar’Nala as they travel to the Outer Rim to ensure that Republic military withdrawals are conducted in accordance with the Treaty of Coruscant. They’re accompanied by the ever-observant Imperial protocol droid SP-99. As Republic and Imperial leaders are adapting to the new galactic landscape, a disturbing new alliance is developing behind-the-scenes in Nar Shaddaa’s criminal Underworld.

Hands-on: Star Wars: The Old Republic
There's an unnavigable divide between the world of MMORPGs and the art of good storytelling. Not writing, mind you -- the gang at Blizzard know their way around a word processor -- but rather, the actual sharing of a story. It's not a genre that supports the relaying of intricate plotlines. Most players are in it for the grind, for social status or notoriety. The option to enable "text skipping" doesn't exactly lend itself to plot development. Even if the mass interest was there, all of the game's players are receiving the same storyline. No choice, no branching, no consequences.

Attempting to build a bridge with which to cross this divide would be an extremely ambitious undertaking. Fortunately, Bioware is a studio well versed in ambition -- and, if our brief time with the game is any indication, Star Wars: The Old Republic is going to irrevocably change the way MMOs tell stories.

    E3 09: Star Wars: The Old Republic live demo impressions

    A few minutes ago I got the opportunity to see a live demo (hands off, unfortunately) of BioWare and LucasArts’ MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic.

    The focus of the first part of the two-part demo was on the Bounty Hunter class. It opened with a bit of story (unique to the class) that then morphed into a routine “kill them all”-type mission where the player was tasked with blasting groups of gun-toting brigands. The presenter stressed that the game -- including the beginning -- would always allow you to feel like the hero. In other words, you won’t grind against single enemies; always groups and always hectic.

    Anyone familiar with a modern MMO will feel at home with SW: TOR’s combat system. Special power bubbles with numerals line the bottom of the screen and action is fairly relaxed, or at least, actions have a certain cool down time.

    The Old Republic Wordier Than Entire Run of The Sopranos

    Still-in-development massively multiplayer online title Star Wars The Old Republic comes packed with voice acting, lots of voice acting.

    Just how much? Not even the BioWare team are sure.

    Every scene, every dialog tree, every branch of conversation is voice acted, and that's a mammoth amount of work. Principal lead writer Daniel Erickson said that meant the team had to do a massive casting call to fill all of the roles of the game. They also tried to make sure not to land any big names for the main roles, because those people will likely be around, providing voice work for the game for quite awhile.

    The cast will include a few voices familiar to fans of science fiction. Some of the actors from Battlestar Galactica, for instance, did work for the game.

When I asked Erickson how many hours of audio they had already recorded he said he didn't know. But, he added, when the audio team was about a third of the way through the voice work they told him that they had just passed all of the audio found in the full six seasons, 86 episodes of The Sorpranos.

Guild Hall -> TOR's GUILD System Discussion
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 04.06.2009 um 15:47 Uhr

On the topic:

Quote:
To Rule An Empire

"I don't know what the hell this "logistics" is that Marshall is always talking about, but I want some of it." - Admiral E. J. King

In today's online gaming market, player affiliations have become immensely popular. This is particularly true in the massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming portion. I can remember back to the days when one of the first MMOs launched called Ultima Online was initially released. Players could purchase a "Guild Stone" and plant it in player-owned housing to form a guild, which is the most common term for a collection of players. With this Guild Stone, players could invite other players to join their guild, assign titles to each one, and declare war against other player-run guilds. That was almost ten years ago.

Today, MMOs are vastly more complex than their first generation forefathers. The graphics alone are light years ahead of what we had with the original Ultima Online and Meridian 59. Server architecture has advanced as well, allowing virtual worlds to allow more players to connect simultaneously. Even chat and communication systems have become more elaborate; allowing players to send private messages to each other, communicate globally with but a few keystrokes, and create their own custom channels.

With all of these advancements happening in virtually every aspect of MMOs, why are guild systems not making the jump into the future too? While guilds are technically not a necessity for a MMO (and even that point many would argue), they are an integral part to the communities and lifeblood of each. Furthermore, many of these guilds have migrated from one MMO to the next one or have opened new "chapters" in them, bringing at least a large portion of their membership with them.

Why are guilds so important? Well, just consider what an MMO is; it is an online game where players can group and interact with literally hundreds and thousands of other players at a time. We all play these games for this interaction. If we just wanted to play a fun and entertaining game by ourselves, we'd purchase and load up one of the numerous single-player titles out there. And if we were just interested in playing with a few of our close, personal friends, we would just use the multiplayer aspect of those same single-player titles. No, we play MMOs because we want to interact with players, most of whom we do not know from the "real world".

Guilds are but smaller segments of these communities. They are formed by players who band together for the sake of camaraderie or share common in-game goals and aspirations. These affiliations then use the mechanics of the games they are playing to help coordinate and socialize with their guildmates.

Guilds are great for a wide variety of reasons. They are great for spreading word-of-mouth about upcoming changes to games. They are helpful to new players in a game because members can share some tricks of the trade or information they have shared to help each other out. And, especially with the current generation MMOs, most of the elder game is geared towards large group and guild activities.

So, if guilds are so beneficial to MMOs, why aren't the mechanics used to control them as helpful? As a developer on an MMO that is based on guilds and being a former guild leader myself, I can say this; running a guild is hard. No matter what MMO you are playing, that statement is true. The larger a guild is the more in-game politics and drama there usually is. Being the head of these player affiliations can seem like a full-time job just in that regard. Unfortunately, there is a lot more to do when running a guild.

In today's MMOs, most games give Guild Leaders and their membership the basics to get the job done. They allow them to form the guild, give them a chat channel or two, usually give them a way to have a symbol or emblem that denotes their affiliation, and give them an internal ranking system so the Guild Leader can assign a few basic roles and responsibilities to members should he or she so desire. And while the interfaces for these elements have improved over the years, the exact functionality of them has not made any major leaps and bounds.

Peter F. Drucker once said, "No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings." While there are some Guild Leaders out there some would declare as geniuses, they are few and far in-between and even they feel the vast burdens that come with running a guild.

Having run a few guilds before myself (and being a designer so I'm always trying to think of ways to fix problems), one feature that would have made my life so much easier would have been a way to collect guild dues using the game's mechanics. Truth is, it takes (in-game) currency to run a guild successfully. You need currency to form the guild usually, to purchase various amenities that either the guild as a whole can use or for individual members. Having a simple system where Guild Leaders can assign how much in-game currency members have to pay by certain intervals in time would be beneficial to almost every guild leader out there. These dues can be a blanket fees for every member or can be denoted by their rank or status in the guild or even on an individual basis. And, of course, a way to track those dues collected would be practically a necessity.

On the flip side of that coin, it would be nice to be able to pay guild salaries. Guilds come together many times to accomplish certain goals. Many times, these goals take members, especially high-level members, away from the activities they would be performing otherwise. For example, there are some individuals in guilds I am a part of that go (well) out of there way to help lower-level members with quests or dungeon crawls they have already performed numerous times themselves or with "farming" so that members can get certain items or in-game currency. It would be nice to have a simple system to award these members through a simple salary system.

Something much more important than guild salaries, though, would be a Guild Bank or Vault. These would be like player's individual item storage except it is open to guild members. How many times have you come across items you do not need but you are sure other guild members could use? I would guess quite often. Wouldn't it be nice if you have a Guild Vault where you could put those items into and allow other guild members who need them to withdraw them from the Guild Vault? Of course, to make a system like this useful, Guild Leaders would need a way to limit and track who is putting things into or taking them out of the Guild Vault.

Finally, a feature I think all MMOs could use is something I like to call a Guild Ledger or Activity Log. This feature is something that tracks all the actions of Guild Members. It shows all the basic information such as when a member joins or quits the guild, it can show their progression in the game (if applicable), when he or she is promoted or demoted in rank (and by whom). This can easily be extended to cover information from other features, such as allowing Guild Leadership to track who has participated in certain dungeon crawls, raids, etc. The best part of this system is that it allows Guild Leaders to not only track participation of membership but also have an easier way of keeping those in power accountable for their actions. For instance, you could use this to actually see who let Leroy Jenkins into your guild if no one will fess up to it or see who kicked out Legolas04 from it.

Another excessively useful idea is an in-game Calendar of Events for a guild. It doesn't even have to be something overly complex but rather just a rudimentary calendar that Guild Leaders can annotate with brief notes about upcoming events. This would keep membership up-to-date with ongoing events without having to leave the game.

I think functionality like the above can be used (and useful) in practically any MMO today. And that is just the tip of the iceberg of new features and systems that can be beneficial to Guild Leaders. While some may question adding in features that are only used by a small portion of the playerbase, they do need to realize that while Guild Leaders are generally one person, they are the chief representative of anywhere from 10 to 500 players. These are our community leaders and one of our greatest sources for delivering information to players.

All in all, it's about time for some new tools for Guild Leaders in MMOs. Guilds can play a large part in the success of a title. Making a Guild Leader's logistical nightmares a little easier will go a long way in not only attracting guilds but in keeping them there.

It was not conveniently shut down. I explained why it was shut down (in the other thread) due to the 2+ pages of topics we had to merge. We did not shut down the forums so you couldn't post, we just made it so people would post in existing, appropriate topics.

I do apologize to those of you are are upset or disheartened by this. We were hoping E3 would be a happy occasion; we brought the HoloNet online, we showed our first cinematic trailer, we talked about some things we haven't talked about before, and we let you hear from people who aren't working on the game (and therefore, people not as biased as, say me) about their opinions of the game.

At the end, I know it isn't even the demo all of you want (although, clearly, that is something you all want to see, too). It's the game itself. And while things could have gone better, I hope all of you do realize this is nonetheless a big occasion in getting that end goal to all of you. But I am nonetheless sorry and apologize to those of you who are upset.

Star Wars The Old Republic E3 Impressions: Ready to Play KOTOR 3 With a Few Thousand People?
Judging from a lengthy E3 demo, BioWare's Star Wars MMO plays like a Knights of the Old Republic sequel. From dialogue to combat, its production values are on par with the developer's singleplayer efforts--which is saying quite a lot, considering that it's also planned to be a massive, full-featured online game.

Running on live servers back in Austin, The Old Republic already seems like a realized world. In the first segment, BioWare producer Dallas Dickinson ran us through the world of Hutta, beginning the game as the Bounty Hunter class.

News and Announcements -> GameSpot Smuggler Article
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 02.06.2009 um 02:33 Uhr

GameSpot recently conducted an interview about the newly revealed Smuggler class with Producer Dallas Dickinson, Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson, and Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert.

Quote:
GS: We're pleased to be able to reveal the smuggler class in this E3 story. Give us an overview of this profession.

DD:The smuggler class is meant to evoke the Han Solo fantasy. The story, appearance, character, and the way the class plays in combat are all based on Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and other great smugglers of the Star Wars universe. As a smuggler, you'll need to get by on quick thinking, charm, luck, and your ability to outsmart others. Instead of being a heavily armed tough guy (like the trooper), the smuggler has to be one step ahead of his opponents in combat, which is why we have implemented a "cover" system for the class. To succeed, the smuggler has to stun opponents, shoot from around corners, and, yes, shoot first.

Beitrag von AmyCrider am 02.06.2009 um 02:02 Uhr

"Deceived" Cinematic Trailer Released!

The Sacking of Coruscant. It was the crowning achievement of the Sith Empire’s ambitious military strategy and the moment that changed the history of the Old Republic forever. You may have read about it before, but our first cinematic trailer captures this event with breathtaking action and beautiful detail.

Republic leaders have traveled to Alderaan to engage in promised peace talks with the Sith Empire. The most powerful Jedi have accompanied them to safeguard against an Imperial deception. The Empire’s real motive, however, was simply to lure the Republic’s strongest defenders away from Coruscant and set the stage for an audacious attack. Under the command of Lord Angral, the Sith fleet approaches the Republic’s capital planet for the first time in centuries. In advance of the fleet, the strongest Sith Warriors have flown a stolen Republic ship into Coruscant’s orbit. Their mission is critical – to destroy the planet’s defense grid mainframe hidden in the heart of the Jedi Temple.


Watch the Deceived cinematic trailer now!

While we all love the buzz and excitement that comes with conventions like E3, our primary goal and purpose is the development of The Old Republic. We will not be burning product development time to create something solely for a show. That time is better invested in things we can show at conventions but will be a part of the game when it launches, too.

Just to confirm since there have been some rumors going around (yes, I know... what isn't there a rumor going on around about?) - Yes, as announced in an interview that went out with the Trooper announcement; The Old Republic will be at E3.

One of the announcements at E3 will be about the Smuggler Class.

I would also recommend keeping your eyes on EA.com's E3 section tomorrow for their live coverage on at 2pm Pacific (4pm Central, 5pm Eastern). I also believe G4 will be broadcasting live at this event, too.

I'll update this post (and thread) as things go on. In the meanwhile, I'd ask everyone converge their TOR E3 talk to this thread.

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - E3 2009 - Gophn’s Exclusive Interview

    The new games seen at E3 this year were quite diverse and a number of them had major hype before the expo even began. One of these hyped up games was the upcoming MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), Star Wars: The Old Republic. We at Gophn.com were honored to get a last minute meeting with the LucasArts reps on the last day of E3… in fact, it was even the last hour. :wink:

    We had a nice Q & A (Questions & Answers) session with the Vice President and Co-Studio Director of BioWare, Gordon Walton. He gave us a nice insight about what the game is about, the timeline that the game is based in, as well as some details about the gameplay & story itself.

    We were no able to get the video of the interview (since our HD camcorder was out of battery), but we did get the audio of the interview.

    Hope you enjoy the reading the interesting and un-rehearsed interview of Gophn.com and our BioWare rep, Gordon Walton.

    E3 2009 has come and gone, with it came new information on Star Wars: The Old Republic -- and fresh concerns. To call BioWare ambitious would be an understatement of vast proportions. Every NPC receiving full voice acting ratcheted up my curiosity as much as it did my eyebrows. We may need a new word to describe the depths of this game's ambition.

    As if the voice acting news wasn't enough, BioWare revealed a cinematic trailer that reminded me how powerful this property can truly be, in the right hands. The excitement was so immediately potent that it caused some people to cry "over-hyped!" in the few short minutes between the trailer's beginning and ending.

    I think it's time to asses the current situation, and maybe ponder a few things about Star Wars and BioWare.

The newsletter usually is delivered once every two months with a few exceptions. For example, if there is something big that occurs in between those times, we release a Community Update that basically just has that item on the list (I believe we did one like that in December when we released our first video). Our last newsletter came out on May 8th.

As for this week's update, we already know that not every update is going to please everyone. I'm sure there are people who didn't like the Developer Dispatch (video) or the Timeline entry, or even the Trooper update. That is why we have a variety of updates over the course of the month. That way we tend to get at least a little something for everyone over the course of the month.

That is why we promote the newsletter, subscribing to our RSS feeds, or joining us on the social networks we're on. That way you can have the information delivered to you and if it is something that you like, you can click the link and read more.

One thing to point out (and I saw it mentioned a few times already) - He said Wookiees are not welcome on Korriban. This is a sacred place to the Sith and their current seat of power.

There is a big difference in allowing a Wookiee to walk on their starships as opposed to walking across the sands of Korriban.

Let me just remind some of you of the Terms of Service you agreed to when you created your accounts and the rules and guidelines of this community.

You do not need to be insulting to other members of the community to get your point across. In fact, in doing so, you're actually making it less likely that the point you were trying to make is received.

I would highly recommend that everyone familiarize themselves with this thread:

Constructive criticism and debate is definitely welcome here. Personal insults, harassment, and not conducting yourself in a mature manner will get your privileges removed from this community and the entire service.

Trooper -> Trooper Revealed!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 08.05.2009 um 18:22 Uhr

Trooper Class Revealed!
We are excited to reveal the next playable character class in Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ – the Trooper!

The Trooper is an elite combat specialist in the Republic military armed with heavy blaster rifles and nearly impenetrable armor designed by the military’s top engineers. Trained to beat almost any odds, the Trooper battles deep behind enemy lines to carry out precise, hard hitting strikes against the enemy, with a barrage of blaster-fire and a few carefully aimed firebombs. Even Sith Lords are wise to think twice before engaging in combat with the Trooper—this is what it means to be one of the Republic’s finest.

Learn more about the Trooper class and check out the latest Trooper inspired wallpapers!

In conjunction with this announcement, GameSpot conducted an interview with Principal Lead Writer Daniel Erickson and Lead Combat Designer Damion Schubert.

Quote:
GS: We understand that the trooper, like all characters in The Old Republic, will have a back-story that will help endear characters to their players, like the protagonists of single-player games. What's the back-story of the typical trooper character?

DE: Players will experience firsthand the most important parts of the trooper's story. But when the game begins, [new trooper characters have] just finished advanced training in forward assault, search & destroy, and advanced recon, and been asked to join Havoc Squad, the most elite of the special forces groups.

Threat of Peace, Issue #6
The sixth issue of Threat of Peace™ brings us back to Coruscant where the heroic defenders of the Republic’s capital planet, Lieutenant Tavus and Jedi Master Orgus Din, have been holed up in the lower levels since just after the Sith Empire’s assault. Unaware that the Treaty of Coruscant has been signed, the pair defends a refugee camp against an attack from Imperial droids before venturing out to discover the devastation the Sith left behind when they departed.

Sith Empire Recruitment -> Dark Disciples - Oceanic Guild - Now recruiting!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 03.05.2009 um 04:32 Uhr

Shadowbane was one of "the" PvP games. Open PvP everywhere except in "safehold" cities. It was all about guild warfare, city seiging, and just a lot of PvP. I wrote an article up about it a long time ago and I still have the cinematic intro (and a few others) video on my YouTube.

Fallout3 was really good. Played it through a few times.

Amy actually use to work for me some years back on the Event Team I led (we did "live" in-game events). I snatched her right back up when I could.

As for dueling me, we'll see

I completely understand; I use to lead a large "red" guild in UO, another guild on Rallos Zek (old EQ PvP server), and we had a lot of "forumbane" in Shadowbane... things get headed and guild politics can be fun. But the rules we have here apply to ever section of this website and a little drama is no reason to break them.

If someone is being disrespectful, simply flag the post and disregard them. Maybe even put them on your ignore list if they are really bothering you.

If anyone feels like someone is doing something against the rules, simply flag/report the post and move on. Don't feed the trolls or the flamebait. Just don't reply to them. Period. The more you fall for it, the more you get yourself in trouble, too.

Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 02.05.2009 um 21:38 Uhr

From time to time, the Community Team must give a member an Infraction Point. This is a system that is designed to inform a member what they have done to violate the Rules of Conduct and assist them in not doing so again. Users will be notified of Infractions via the Private Messaging system.

For the first offense, a warning is usually given. While a warning does not add any Infraction Points, the warning itself will remain on your account until it expires.

Members are rarely suspended for the first few offenses unless it was something overly derogatory or offensive. That said, the more Infraction Points a member accumulates, the more severe the consequences. Having too many Infraction Points can lead to an account being fully moderated (meaning members of the Community Team must approve each of their posts), suspended for a period of time, or even permanently banned.

“Too many” points is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If you worry your account may be in jeopardy due to too many Infraction Points, simply contact a member of the Community Team.

Welcome to the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Community section on the official website. The Old Republic, also referred to as TOR, is a story-driven massively-multiplayer online game from BioWare and LucasArts. Currently, the game is in production and no launch date has been released. To learn more about the game, visit the Game Info and Frequently Asked Questions sections.

Here in the Community Section, you can talk to other players. We look forward to your participation and want you to enjoy your time here whether you choose to simply follow discussions or actively post. To keep the Community section fun for everyone we strive to maintain mature, constructive conversations and you to help us do the same.

When you are ready to contribute in the Community section, there are three things to consider before posting:
  • Will it contribute to discussions about The Old Republic? - This community has been formed around The Old Republic and most conversations should directly pertain to it.
  • Has it been posted before? – Simply use the Search feature and you’ll know.
  • Is this the right forum? – Each forum has a specific topic it is geared towards and usually has a few subforums within it to help categories topics.
You read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct when you created your account. Those are pretty detailed, so here is a basic set of guidelines:
  • Never insult another community member.
  • Always discuss the topic and give constructive criticism.
  • If you feel someone is violates the Rules of Conduct, do not reply to them; simply report (flag) the post.
  • If someone is being a troll, don’t feed them. Simply do not reply and report (flag) the post.
  • Do not spam or bump; you only need to post it once and there is no need to “bump” your thread for others to see.
  • Do not post or promote pornographic, derogatory, vulgar, or offensive content.
  • Do not post your Display Name in the subject of your post; your Display Name is easily seen by all as the original poster for that topic.
  • Be respectful to all community members; while you may not agree with their opinion, you should not be rude to them.
Note that violating these rules and guidelines can result in your suspension or permanent removal from these forums. This list is not exhaustive and we reserve the right to modify or remove any forum content at our discretion.

And if you’re unsure of anything, simply post here or send a private message to one of the members of the Community Team.

The maverick bounty hunter Braden prepares to capture a high-profile target on Dantooine even as the transmission ordering a comprehensive Republic withdrawal arrives. Though not the only one who hesitates to comply with the treaty, Braden sets himself on a dangerous path because of the way he reacts to the orders from the Republic commander who hired him.

SW:TOR dev weighs in on the current form of beta testing.
Without a doubt, the beta testing experience has changed since the beginning of the MMO industry. In a recent article that Ten Ton Hammer released to the public, the staff compiled a variety of quotes from present and past MMO developers while putting these side-by-side with thoughts from the Ten Ton Hammer premium members. Not wanting to miss the action, the BioWare Austin developers working on Star Wars: The Old Republic sent over their own thoughts on beta testing. Straight from the mind of Co-Studio VP, Richard Vogel, this Q&A gives players a hint of what they might expect from the upcoming SW:TOR beta test.

In terms of end-game encounters which people come back to more than once.. Do you guys feel random elements in PvE are more of a hindrance or something to spice up an encoutner?

Granted, getting randomly one-shotted in the face without warning may not be so much fun. But would something like a ship coming in to carpet bomb from unpredictable angles (making players scatter to different safety areas) get more or less exciting?

More than just memorizing which buttons to push in the correct order.. Can y'all name some examples where you really got excitement from an end-game encounter?

Good research... and it would be a pity if all the vibro blade art assets could only be used by the companions. In addition such also offers the opportunity for different silhouettes adding to character individuality.

Here's a mind bender...

In addition to the deeper quests, ones which don't rely heavily on NPC dialog can easily fit into the world(s). A quest with one dialog completion line works too. What are some thoughts on quests which don't rely on any dialog?
  • holocron runes
  • dormant artifact
  • datapads
  • droid memory cores
  • scrolls / writings
  • ancient wall writings
  • terminal readout
  • encoding/decrypting device
  • following an R2 unit
  • map coordinates
  • etc...

Any fresh ideas?

General Discussion -> Jumping
Beitrag von JesseSky am 02.04.2009 um 05:17 Uhr

Being able to jump is crucial, in my opinion. It liberates the player and provides him with a better sense of the physical space his character occupies within the world. Jedi ruins become a lot more interesting when you can leap across chasms and hop up onto fallen architecture.

While I know some of you may doubt this; I don't tease you all on purpose. No. Really.

Seriously, though, we have two (2) updates today. One is Issue #3 of Threat of Peace and the second one is a new video that gives more information about the actually recent background pertaining to The Old Republic. This is not a Dev Dispatch nor a Video Documentary, it is part of a new section of the website.

That all said, the Sith is in the details. We're making a few minor tweaks and then we'll be bringing it live. I'd give you a new ETA but I fear I have not followed my own rules of giving out timeframes unless I know they will be met. We have final approval on it, we just need to do some conversations and compressions so you're not downloading a 20GB file... it'll be more like a 200MB file

Galactic Republic Recruitment -> "Galactic Trade Commission - A Crime Syndicate for Roleplayers"
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 17.03.2009 um 21:13 Uhr

3656 BBY

THE BIRTH OF A CORPORATE EMPIRE......


A time before the Sacking of Coruscant the business of trade was rife, with many businesses competing for particluar trade routes between various star systems. The swift and brutal attack from the Sith Empire however left traders in fear and unwilling to leave the comfort of their planets to travel into deep space. During this time a newly-formed trading company stood tall above them all. They were simply known as the Galactic Trade Commission. The republic applauded their willingness to enter the farthest reaches of space to deliver vital supplies to systems that were cut off from the rest of civilization, especially during these harsh times. Thier bravery it seemed knew no bounds.

By the time the Treaty of Coruscant was signed the companies that were once too afraid to commerce with outer region planetery systems decided now was the time to re-emerge, knowing full well that although the attacks were still happening, they had decreased rapidly. However, strange occurrences started happening in the vast world of intergalactic business. Trade routes were being blocked by unmarked ships. CEO's of major trading companies were being assassinated by unknown assailants. Shipments were mysteriously dissapearing. The illegal spice trade had doubled in a very short time indeed. Even pirates on the Outer-Rim territories had ceased attacking vessels so frequently. Something just didn't feel right. The only thing that seemed to stay continuous was the growth of the Galactic Trade Commission's empire, which at this time appeared to be going from strength to strength, almost seemingly eliminating all competition within a heartbeat. It was at this stage that the various republican committees of trade alliances started to get suspicious and were forced to ask themselves the question...
..."Was there more to the Galactic Trade Commission than meets the eye?"....


WHO ARE THE GALACTIC TRADE COMMISSION?

The Galactic Trade Commission are actually several guilds within a guild. On the outside we moonlight as one the galaxies leading authorities in trading, however this is just a masquerade for something far more sinister. For some time now the GTC has been an underground crime syndicate with dealings in every type of illegal activity that you can think of; be it smuggling, extortion, arms dealing, etc. In short, if it's illegal then the GTC probably have a hand in it.

WHAT KIND OF GUILD IS THE GALACTIC TRADE COMMISSION?

Primarily the GTC are a roleplaying guild and we plan to start on a server that can accommodate these needs. We also have a common agreement that not everyone wants the same from roleplaying so with that in mind, we are going to cover all forms of it (Light, Medium and Heavy). We also want to cover all aspects of the game, so expect to see lots of PvP (Player versus Player), PvE (Player versus Enviroment), RvR (Realm versus Realm) and of course Crafting. We also want to cater to the needs of the solo player so if thats your cup of tea, then so be it!

WHAT IS OUR ALIGNMENT WITHIN THE STAR WARS GALAXY?

For obvious reasons we're not actually aligned with either the Galactic Republic OR the Sith Empire. This is because we are trying to work inbetween and in some cases against the two factions. If the game actually lets us do this then we'll just have to wait and see. Because of this neutrality, the Galactic Trade Commission is very untrusting of outside interference from Jedi and Sith alike. This in turn means that any 'Force-Sensitive' characters are generally frowned upon and will not be included amongst our ranks.

GUILD HIERARCHY

The guild heirarchy is set up much like you'd expect with that of a crime syndicate. Within the guild we have a setup of five gangs, each with their own colour to distinguish their roles within the guild. At the top of the guild we have the High Vigo (in this case Torgal), below him we have four other Gang Bosses (also known as Vigos) and below that we have First Officers/Lieutentants (Vice-Vigos) and then Gang Members.

GUILD RULES

The rules for our guild are stated on our forums but our main goal is to have fun and become extremely successful in our ventures along the way!

STILL INTERESTED?

In a nutshell we're looking for friendly, mature and loyal members to muster our ranks and if you like what you've heard, then what are you waiting for? Get on our forums, start posting and come join in the carnage!.......

Check out the first issue of the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ online comic, Threat of Peace™. Dark Horse has joined forces with LucasArts and BioWare™ to create a new comic series, published online, to introduce fans to The Old Republic. The comic features action-packed, character-driven episodes written by BioWare’s Rob Chestney and published by Dark Horse.

War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire has gripped the galaxy for decades, but the sacking of Coruscant and a subsequent peace treaty are changing everything. As the Republic scrambles to re-establish order, the Sith Empire moves quickly to consolidate power within its new dominion. Behind closed doors, however, individual Sith Lords engage in a quiet but deadly power struggle, and discord breaks out among the Jedi as they wrestle with the moral implications of the new galactic balance. During these chaotic days, the stories of several critical characters interweave as they pursue their passions, stand up for their convictions, and ultimately lead the galaxy back to the brink of a catastrophic conflict.

Issues of the comic will be released twice a month. Stay tuned and follow the storyline to its dramatic conclusion which sets the stage for the players’ entrance into the game. Read the first issue of Threat of Peace now!

Can you all further expand on this point? Since story is of high importance... what are ways players work real story and story like decision making into their PvP? More than a quest guy saying "Thar be Sith out yonder.. go get 'em and we'll take the planet!"

Does the player assault the bridge or the space station? Does he/she rescue the princess or shut down the tractor beams? What are some more simple solutions and what might be more complex?

Additionally let me ask, what opinions exist concerning server population balances/imbalances?

Respect.

Yes, that kind of stuff rocks, past battle scenes or seedy alley ways brings a scene to a whole new level. Immersion gets even stronger when you're able to check out some previous event and theorize your *own* stories and compare notes with others. It's a lot of fun to put that in whenever possible. Additionally it really speeds things along having some fresh ideas and details ready to rock and roll.

Also, besides the grand, attractive vistas and stuff that star wars is known for, what about the seedy places and the undercities? I'd like to see those.

I also really like the idea of speeders or houses hovering over water.

General Discussion -> PSA: Feeding Trolls is a TORrible Idea!
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 05.02.2009 um 18:41 Uhr

Okay, now that the lame subject line is out of the way...

We've had a few Trolls that have been receiving a lot of attention lately (if you don't know what a Troll is, here's a handy dandy link to a Wikipedia entry on it).

We'll always have trolls; it's just a fact of life. And I really want to thank those of you who have brought some of them to our attention so we can deal with them.

But there is a problem I want to bring up. A troll by themself really isn't a problem. The problems begin when you "feed" them. In most cases, I'd recommend just ignoring the troll altogether and not respond to them (feel free to report the post, though
If it is a topic or point you really feel like you should voice your opinion on, though, stick to the topic at hand and points; don't make it personal. Not only does it feed the troll, you become a part of the problem. In some cases, we've had to suspend someone who was basically a bystander that got wrapped up in the personal assaults.

Once it gets to that point, your submission will have to be denied.

If called this you did, strong in the Force are you. Actually, you probably didn't need to be a Jedi prognosticator to see this coming. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a game that MMO nerds have been awaiting for years. Re-uniting the Star Wars IP with MMO gameplay in a new format, reviving the very popular Knights of the Old Republic setting, SWTOR was a sure-fired win with the Massively staff long before the announcement.

This unfortunately was a big misunderstanding and I want to be clear: we have made no official statements about the business model for Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Lets say it's late, and very few people are on. You take a quest from your contact and it is timed... "Quick! I need you to get to X spot and help the Republic/Sith Soldiers defend thier downed ship! Don't Let me down!" 10 min timer starts ticking away...
Mmm interesting... a quest that hunts you down.

Great topic!

And some good planet choices. (In no way am I confirming or denying the existance of planets which may or may not exist.) But, what makes these planets desirable to visit?

Say for instance, take the Korriban, the concept art depicts a harsh world the Sith get live-or-die-trying training. One of the iconic places you've got is Valley of the Dark Lords. Mega statues lower their heads to the power of the ancient Lords, and a couple even bow in servatude while holding up the pyramid.

Just by looking around, you should anticipate.. and get the feeling for the kind of brutal choices they'll soon have to make. This also sets the tone for all the other goodies to explore. Looking around the zone and rock formations, I'm reminded of places in Arizona close to sunset. Then you've got the tombs...

So to me: Korriban = brutal Sithy choices

Running a scene through art then gets to be something like... "On this POI approach, I'd like the player to feel tension. Like they're walking up the back of a snake where dudes can jump out and shank them from all these shadowy alcoves. When they actually reach the top, I'd like them to really feel relieved they actually made it." Mmm that sounds good.. let me write that down for another planet.

Of course, for ToR, all quests will be of a heroic standard, so the urgency of these quests would have to be stepped up, so, maybe, 'Deliver Vital War Plans to Colonel Falo without being seen by Sith Spies'.

Nice. Like it!

There is a difference between the word filter on the community section and the one for account creation. You're allowed to say Qui-Gon Jinn or QuiGon but we disallow individuals from using these iconic names as their Display Names. For instance, you won't see anyone with the Display Names LukeSkywalker, DarthVader, etc.

Star Wars: The Old Republic - What We Know So Far

Quote:
Art Director Jeff Dobson says that Old Republic will not have a totally realistic art style; but neither will it be too cartoon-y. The idea here, he says, is that they want a distinct look for the MMO that sets it apart from all others - one that will run on as many machines as possible without sacrificing the quality of the graphics.

Command Prompt Podcast, Episode 22

Quote:
October 22, 2008 - Yes, we're aware that we're a day late with the podcast this week. That's because the industry's worst kept secret was officially announced yesterday, and Steve had the scoop on it. A couple of weeks ago, he flew out to BioWare Austin to get the very first look at Star Wars: The Old Republic, and we kicked off three days of coverage on Tuesday. As you'd imagine, we talk a lot about Star Wars, and we answer a lot of reader questions about what we do and do not know.

And that is the reason for this thread; so we can take care of words that are not being properly filtered. For instance, grape is no longer filtered.

This is a public forum and we currently have a "Rating Pending" rating from the ESRB.

So, if you see any other words that are being filtered that shouldn't be, definitely post it here or send me a Private Message and I'll fix it as soon as possible.
 

For Newcomers -> The Official Introduction Thread!
Beitrag von AmyCrider am 23.10.2008 um 19:17 Uhr

I've noticed quite a few intro posts, so let's go ahead and combine them in one official thread.

I'll start first! My name is Amy Crider and I am the Community Coordinator for Star Wars: The Old Republic (TOR). I've played games pretty much all my life. My first online game was Ultima Online, where my brother used to force me to mine ore for HIS character while he was off watching tv (I know, I was such a sucker then). Eventually, I made my own character and the addiction grew to other games and platforms.

I've now been in the industry for over 5 years working as Customer Service Rep (GM), QA Tester, Event Planner, and now Community Coordinator. Some of you may not be familiar with the position of Community Coordinator - but basically my main responsibility is to act as a liason between you and the dev team. I will send them your feedback and be the "voice" of the dev team when they have something to share with you (when they don't share it themselves). I'll also moderate the forums, and help with contents and events.

I'd like to welcome you to our community, I've seen some great posts so far and can't wait to share more and more information with you about the game.

Massively and the Joystiq network had a man on the ground at Tuesday's unveiling of Star Wars: The Old Republic. We sorted the chaff from the wheat, and now we are prepared to offer up to you a series of post outlining everything there is to know about BioWare's newest game. To start with, we have a high level overview to kick us off. Join us below the cut to get some insider information on why BioWare is making the game, the four pillars of BioWare storytelling, what little they can tell us about space combat and vehicles, and .. perhaps most interesting ... an affirmation of BioWare's commitment to Star Wars Galaxies.

Exclusive SWTOR Design Q&A - Lightsabers, The Force, and Space Combat
Quote:
What kind of level cap do you have in mind?

James Ohlen: We are going to have a level based system, and we are going to have a level cap, When we know what that is we'll share it with you.

Gordon Walton: There are a lot of thing that we aren't going to be able to share with you simply because they're still in development. BioWare games go through a lot of iteration before we ever settle on something.

We'd rather give you real information than blow smoke up your....whatever. When we share something with the community, we've played through that part of the game enough that we're confident that it's going to be in the final game.

We're really, really committed to no overhyping the game.

Rich Vogel: It's BioWare and it's Star Wars. Overhyping the game could be very easily done. We want to make sure we meet the expectations of the game.

News and Announcements -> A Q&A with Daniel Erickson [Ten Ton Hammer]
Beitrag von SeanDahlberg am 23.10.2008 um 16:00 Uhr

SWTOR Writing - An Exclusive Q&A with Daniel Erickson
Quote:
Are you looking at putting some of the expanded universe characters into the game that weren't really mentioned in KOTOR I and II? Individuals like Exar Qun, Nomi Sunrider, and Ulic Qel-Droma?

Daniel: Absolutely! It's really one of the areas that's important to us. Outside of the guy at Lucasfilm that keeps track of the Holocron - the repository of knowledge that is "true" in Star Wars - we probably have the largest group of experts on the Star Wars history. We never want you to have quest where you listen to a librarian for two hours, but we know that it's very important to the people that are familiar with the IP. Even the things that contradict other things in the expanded universe, we've tried to iron out.

One of the things you may have noticed in KOTOR is that all of the tombs are actually from canon. You have the tomb of Marko Ragnos, for example. We know that people are going to get in and touch our games a lot. Those are the people that are probably wondering what Revan and the Exile have been up to. We know that they went out into deep space to fight an ancient evil, But what happened?

What happened to the different adventurers? What happened to Bastilla? This isn't stuff that we ever want to shove in somebody's face, because there will be some guy out there who has only seen - in his twelve year old life - is Episode I. Or maybe it'll be the guy who hasn't even seen Star Wars!

If there is a word being filtered that shouldn't be, reply to this post with the whole word spread out. Example:
