• • 2 More Factions Required - CRIMINAL UNDERGROUND / CORPORATE ALLIANCE

    If you are talking about factions that  you could join in game... i think that would be a great idea. Almost as WoW has The Scryers or The Aldor... like either side could join. 

    but if you are talking you start off creating your character alligned with those factions right off the bat... i dont think that would work out so well... 

    thats just my thoughts though

     

     

    
     

    Why don't you think it would work out so well?

    I look at it as, who says I want to be with the Republic OR the Sith Empire? If I feel more comfortable with the criminal element who's just out to profit, who cares who get's hurt, the option ought to be there.

    Same with the 'legal' Corporates... keep in mind this isn't corporate like 'corporate America' in suits and such here, it's Star Wars. It includes everyone who wants to be a big merchant and try to take over the galaxy or those shadier folks who work in the background to ensure their companies 'win' big.

  • I actually found it on the 28th but... there was just nothing new in it so I didn't bother posting it.

    All the websites are kind of just rehashing the same info over and over right now... hopefully more info comes out this with this Friday's update :)

• • 2 More Factions Required - CRIMINAL UNDERGROUND / CORPORATE ALLIANCE

  • I think the game is missing TWO factions... those being:

    CRIMINAL UNDERGROUND - The criminal and more 'Shady' members of society such as bounty hunters and scoundrels.  Think 'The Exchange'.  They don't care for the most part who is winning wars, so long as they reap profits.

    CORPORATE ALLIANCE - Stuff like 'the banking/trade union' who will aid both sides as well as the money is good. Think Czerka... they try to have their fingers in everything and have PLENTY of 'muscle' working for them to protect their interests and ventures as well as all the merchants / crafters.

    If you think about it, those two factions would even be at odds with each other and yet need each other at the same time.

    The criminals would always be ripping off the corporations while also needing them so they HAVE things to rip off.

    The corporations would hate the criminal underground and compete but also sometimes require their illegal ways to get things done...

    Thoughts?

  • Lost me at the mention of boars.  I'm way through with boars.

    But good luck to TCoS.  At least it dares to do a lot of stuff differently.
