whatever, disinformation, i dont impose anything, i only open the eyes of others to the real truth. your eyes are closed, therefore you are squished. i dont provoke others, others provoke me, and i shall drop my maul, thyssel for thought

 

more disinfo, i drop the maul of truth on this too

all you are lying and blind, and that shows where the real lack of intelligence be, flame me all you want, but if you all ignore a maul this heavy, then i have no hope for thee

 

You shouldn't rely on the retailers pricing, it took them weeks to fix their listings when the game dropped to $15...not only that but if you got to the TOR's site you will see the download and play is free...no need to purchase it anymore, regardless of if it is still on shelves...and likely, it will stay on shelves until the copies they have printed sell, which people will no doubt still buy as the install process done entirely via download, sucks as @@Caelum can attest, also there is just no logical reason to toss them out, since the $15 give you a month sub, and the $30 is a 2 month sub card, so it will stay indefinitely.

 

^29 really?

 

I would have guessed 13.

 

I don't play TOR btw, not because it has a subscription fee but becasue it lacks the cool saber dueling animations of KotOR and it ruined the story.

 

Ory'Hara, stand in a Gamestop for 1 whole day and count how many copies of TOR sells, even at it's peak do you really think that the price of a game copy is enough to pay for the servers forever? You also have to consider a LARGE amount of the games sales dollars went into making back what they put into making the game, you know paying the development team, their insurance policies for the employess, the general cost of running the studio, ect, ect.

 

Myabe Ory'Hara wants to play TOR but cannot afford the measly fee?

 

the $29 is a 60 day time card, seeing as how one month is $15...60 days would be twice that obviously.

more disinformation, my argument is against the monthly payments, squished. they be makin money from people just buyin the game, subs not needed, welcome to the real real world and the crushing maul of truth,

The game isn't for sale since it went Free to Play...that's the whole point...subscriptions and cartel market transactions are now the only way they make money.

 

lol, quit makin more disinfo, i never said offering f2p was bein greedy. trapping people into a false and extremely restricted f2p that forces users to end up subbing anyways is bein greedy, squished.

They don't force anyone to subscribe...you can easily get the features any average player would use through the Cartel Market in the form of micro-transactions as opposed to a subscription. Also, use some logic...you can't "force" a user to subscribe anyway...if they want to play that bad, they'll pay for it...other wise, they'll deal with what they can get for free...it's called logic, use it.

 

Basically, do some fact checking and use common sense, rather than running around telling everyone else they are wrong.

I am hoping over to the EUR servers to play with @@Caelum today....but for future reference to anyone who wishes to play with me, I am on the NA servers.

Star Wars The Old Republic is now Free to Play!

Honestly I started off just clicking things to figure out what they did...Max isn't known for having a user friendly interface.

...the modeling process itself will take practice just like anything else.

Oi @@Szico VII get in touch with me, I want to see how the new chair looks in-game with your shaders so I can decide if I need to make changes.

There are a handfull of active modelers here...getting our attention can be interesting though as most of us are busy with 5 different things at one time.

 

Welcome none-the-less.

Assuming Disney bought LA (not just LucasFilm), what about the SP and engine source for JA?

They got the whole shebang....but I have no idea what that means for it.

@@Szico VII and I found some some naughty brushes while testing the map...also Szico was killed by doors....alot.

And I suck at this game.

Just gonna merge these....

 

*runs away*

He says he will still be consulting on the franchise though...just means he no longer has the final say.

 

Again though, considering the success Disney has had soo far with the Marvel franchise...I could see this turning out better than expected.

Should be able to get to that this weekend.

Lucas talks the future of LucasFilm

As for the new Star Wars installments, the companies said Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy would be executive producer on Episode 7 and any more Star Warsmovies, and Lucas would serve as creative consultant. There was no indication about where the story would pick up, though technically in the franchise’s chronology it would follow Star Wars: Episode 6 — Return Of The Jedi, the third film in the initial trilogy that came out in 1983.

 

I have soo many mixed thoughts...I mean afterall, The Avengers was well done, and Disney has their fingers in that pie....maybe they can do it justice.

<vader>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO</vader>

Too soon to bring that dub back up T.T

Sooo Disney bought LucasFilm today....so yeah, that happened.

 

 

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/10/30/disney-star-wars-lucasfilm/1669739/

the new chair for you @@Szico VII...I am working on painting textures for it...but I may just jump back to using the stock since thats primarily what you've already got..

 

Why are you using both Max and Maya???

I prefer the extrusion tools in maya and the rigging in max.

You were gone?

 

Just kidding, welcome back sir.

 

 

But no seriously, you were gone?

Soo I have this, thought one of you guys might find it interesting...it is basically a graphic of an overall Game Design Pipeline.

 

Edits to the jawline, nose, and cheek bones, also lowered the eyes and adjusted the overall width of the head, to better fit that of Liara,

also...texture changes...

Not sure if I am happy with this state yet, sorry for the blockyness...coming straight from Mudbox to Maya does that to it, I'll fix it's display settings in Max later.

 

They have been making "Gameware" as they call it for several years now...it just isn't as openly available to the public. He mentions several of their products such as "Beast" in that video.

AutoDesk's Project Skyline

 

 

Don't misunderstand...that is a real thing...but as the guy says it is an in-house project, and not a product one can get their hands on....

 

But damn I want it soo bad >.<

 

TAKE MY MONEY!

 

 

On a related note, I did get to view a live demo of this software pipeline at a conference last April in Raleigh, NC....with any luck they will have an update to show off and announcement of a product line this coming April when I go back.

Fixed your release tag to act as a prefix...mainly because I am obsessive compulsive, and it was bugging me.

Actually it was a bit off overall from Liara's face. Inyri pointed some things out I am fixing.
