hey froogle and lumberjack if you guys play guild wars 2 i would i love to play with you and please do a livestream i can watch someone other then towliee!!!!!!

[frooglepete]

@starstriker444gaming Lol - well we are in line for Guild Wars 2 yes, and we will be ramping up our streaming efforts very soon, real life permitting.

[jcomer02]

Live streaming is cool. Scheduling will be the primary issue. Look at your viewer demographics before you decide the showtime.

[frooglepete]

@jcomer02 Good point

[darkjester0x]

YOU LIVE STREAM SWTOR NOW!!!!!! THE HODGEKINZ HAS SPOKEN!!!!!

[frooglepete]

@darkjester0x lol ok then

[wilsomi4]

I would definitely watch a live stream, but it would help having information in advance on what characters you are going to play, what server, empire vs republic, etc. I'm assuming we would be able to join you in game in some fashion but let me know if this assumption is wrong.

thx

[frooglepete]

@EnmityDawning Excellent to know - thanks mang

[frooglepete]

@wilsomi4 With you completely

Just started watching your videos - well done I must say.

I gotta admit that me and my roommate have seemingly faced a bit of fatigue - though ours stems from a bit more of our disappointments we face with the game so far.

Namely the clothing options and availability and certain class and race (read twilek and hoods) issues. As well as gathering bugs and such.

We're still enjoying the game but I must say I'm still wondering if we are going to lose our steam with the game.

[wilsomi4]

I think you can get faigued from any genre, but SWTOR is the first MMO I've played that has been able to replicate the story experience similar to what you experience in a first-person game (like Half Life, Fallout, etc.).

My impression is that Bioware spent all of their time and money on the great story line, voice acting, and light side, dark side system. They did not push the genre in other ways (PVP, crafting, etc.). It's a great game, but only groundbreaking in a few ways.

[wilsomi4]

I haven't reached level 50 for my main character either. I switch between alts when I start to get bored of one story line.

It's also fun to switch between Empire and Republic since the story lines are very different. You get to see the same events from both sides.

[wilsomi4]

Right now, there are a lot of Founders, but people that start playing a few months from now won't get the title.

I agree with Froogle's analysis on performance 100%. I have a high-end machine but performance has gotten worse for me. I suspected that they broke it for high-end machines in order to make it playable for lower-end machines. It sucks.
