SWTOR - Australia and New Zealand
In what’s been a week of locally-focussed SWTOR love, I thought it’d be worth indulging in some hypothetical fun.
Let’s say BioWare decided to have a public launch event in Australia and New Zealand. What would be a truly local SWTOR launch that’d make the rest of the world sit up and take notice? I personally think a SWTOR B&S ball would have kicked arse, but I’m sure you can be more creative than that.
Jump in and maybe EA might take notice!
The weekend’s well and truly on the way, so time to drag out the soapbox for another session.
This week it’s your turn to give bouquets or brickbats to SWTOR patch 1.1.2, which went live late Tuesday night. Are you finding it’s made your gameplay experience better? Aside from the Ilum issues remaining, is there anything that’s still a major gripe for you that the patch didn’t fix?
Post away in comments and get it off your chest!
Another weekend, another issue to chew over. Actually, this week there’s two. The first one is a direct call for your input: in a week’s time we’ll be chatting with BioWare’s Stephen Reid and we want YOUR questions to ask him. So head over here and post your questions in the format described in the post!
For discussion right here, right now, is a little bit of speculation about Oceanic servers. In particular, what names would you like to see them have?
Feel free to suggest either a more ‘official’, lore-friendly option or go all out and suggest some humorous / catchy / funky ones. For what it’s worth I’m thinking DragonFinn for a name – as both Australia and New Zealand claim ownership over both Dragon and the Finns 
Fire away!
Over on the SWTOR Gamers of Oceania Facebook page, David K. asked the question on whether people had noticed a migration of what can be loosely termed as ‘WoW Douchebaggery’ – incivility toward lower level players, slagging gear etc etc. I haven’t seen a lot of it myself on my server, but I’ve certainly had other people mention it.
So over to you: if you’ve played WoW or another MMO, how’s the social scene in SWTOR appearing to you so far? Is there just the odd idiot, a wider culture of poor behaviour or have you found it a bed of roses?
Also, anyone wanting to start lobbying for Douchebaggery to be included in the Oxford dictionary should feel free!
This week I thought we’d move the suggestion box away from the battlefield and get cultured. Specifically, let’s talk music. I still haven’t gotten sick of SWTOR’s soundtrack at all, which is probably helped by the fact it’s quite sparse depending on what you’re doing.
So jump in and let us know: are you playing SWTOR with the music on, and if not, what do you do instead?
Another semi-summer weekend in the paradise that is the Oceanic region of the globe. It’s time for your input on the issues that matter in SWTOR and this week I thought I’d open up the suggestion box for dedicated and casual PvP’ers alike.
More specifically, let’s creative on Warzones: if you could create a Warzone for inclusion in the game, where would it be set and what would the gameplay mechanic be?
I personally want a speeder battle in an Endor-like forest, probably 5v5 or 10v10. Over to you – as always, the sky’s the limit so post away!
Another weekend of levelling coming up for most of us, but if you get a chance to drag yourself away from your companion for a few minutes, we’d love your thought on this week’s topic: Oceanic launch.
As you probably know, there’s going to be some sort of local shindig in March or April we believe. So: where should the launches be held in Australia and New Zealand? Name a city / venue / time, whatever catches your fancy.
Let’s be creative and you never know, maybe the folks at Bioware will agree to the nudey run launch through the CBD of Australia and New Zealand’s capitals. Over to you!
