Rumors have it that Cpt. BetaCake was once a mere mortal. In human years he would be 28 years old. Nowadays, he finds peace in sharing gaming news and leaks.

  • Killuminati

    I can’t wait til they release a real patch to fix all the combat bugs and/or nerf the Inqs… =0)

    • Lrn2play

      Get some pvp gear and inquisitors won’t piss you off so much. :)

      • Killuminati

        I have PvP gear (mainly because no one else on rep on my server is 50 yet so there’s not much endgame). I just don’t like being stun locked from one toon because the resolve bar doesn’t do a damn thing, honestly their damage output doesn’t bother me at all.

        • Kermit

          Inquisitors won’t get nerfed man, pvp some more and learn how tor pvp works sorcs especially have some of the lowest burst out there atm. IA operative need a slight nerf it’s a little to bursty and same for mercs but overall the pvp is functioning how bioware wants it to.

          • Killuminati

            once again, I was not referring to damage output…

          • Anonymous

            Then QQ more and learn to stun before you get stunned.

          • Killuminati

            wow, gotta love troll comprehension….

  • Guttssword

    I’d like to know when the hell Bioware will fix all the bugs the Jedi Knight class has with companions and certain abilities not working like they should (why do i have to reload my game so Guard works).

    • Killuminati

      one of the dudes I run PvPs with is a gunslinger and he says his aimed shot refuses to work half the time.

      • doodle

        I’m an agent (which is basically the same as smuggler) and if it’s the same problem as I had ie. aimed shot /snipe it’s called for me doesn’t work in cover then luckily they’ve just fixed it :D

  • Anonymous

    Ahhh i love the tears of the republic lol

    • kiluminati

      I don’t know what that meant but I assume it was a trolly comment as all your comments are… So I just have a random question, how do you get anything good from trolling so much? It’s certainly not going to get people to like you and sure it may be slightly enjoyable for you but in the end you’re probably never gonna get laid (although by reading how stupidly worded your trolling posts are, I’d say getting laid doesn’t matter to you as you’re only about 7 years old)

      • Killuminati

        trolling a troll still makes you a troll…

        • Anonymous

          wow you really put me in my place, how will i ever continue with life.

        • hilter

          Why do you presume that he/she is actually trolling… if you don’t understand what he/she is saying then how do you know it is a troll, plus most of what they say actually seems to be what they think and not just trolling, but seriously what did that mean?

          • Killuminati

            because assuming random things and calling someone a 7 year old isn’t trolling? And yah, half of what people “think” is trolling on the interweb.

          • hilter

            wait your trolling and trolling the troll and then telling me that trolling the troll is bad? you are extremely confuzing… or is the person trolling the troll someone who stole your name?

          • Killuminati

            lol, they stole my moniker, and spelled it incorrectly to boot.

          • hilter

            Ah when I said “Why do you presume that he/she is actually trolling… if you don’t understand what he/she is saying then how do you know it is a troll, plus most of what they say actually seems to be what they think and not just trolling, but seriously what did that mean?” I was talking to wanna be you not you then, oops my bad…

          • Killuminati

            that’s what I assumed, no problem mate, gotta love them interweb quarrels =0)

  • Hoonz97

    our guild has tried to raid 3 nights in a row now…every night is another fuckin patch….they’re bloody hopeless at testing this stuff

  • Elwood

    I can’t help but feel that SWTOR is simply an MMO learning experience for BioWare as they prep to develop a Mass Effect MMO. Maybe it’s just me though.

    • Guttssword

      Honestly i like the game its pretty good but Bioware just can’t seem organize themselves like blizzard when it comes to making patches. They keep addressing small issues and not really fixing them instead of taking their time to fix allot of the issues at once.

      • Ret

        I can pretty much guarantee there are people working their butts off to do just that.

        • hilter

          ^this, there will probably be sooo many fixed in the first major patch…

      • Anonymous

        I would suggest going back to wow then since it is a far superior game.

  • User

    Version 1.1, AA finally added, option for high textures removed, medium textures renamed high and character textures continue to look muddy as fuck…

    You people pay for this POS?

    • Wild33

      so clueless it hurts. sigh. everything you said in your post is 100% incorrect.
