TOR TV: Quintessential Conversations: “One of Us”

This video was mailed to us by the guys in the guild Pandamonium. It is a time of struggle. It is a time of rebellion. It is a time for vacation. Wait, what? A few of the galaxy’s greatest heroes are due a little R&R, but one of their number is in for a totally different Pandamonium is a guild dedicated to enjoying SWTOR and having fun. These media projects exemplify the creativity, the passion, and the camaraderie that they share. They have many traits in common with other SWTOR guilds with groups doing pvp warzones, flashpoints, and many dedicated eight-man operations teams (now 7 going on 8). But these machinima projects let them take it one step further and go beyond what the game designers envisioned. They create there own fun movie that they can enjoy crafting together and then, more importantly, share with their fellow SWTOR fans.”” The video below…

TOR TV: “Sex Bomb” parody – Smash Bomb

Jason Barnett made this comedic view of the post 1.4 “smash” spec: focus for sentinels and guardians, and rage for marauders and juggernauts. This pokes fun at the simplicity of the spec as well as the community’s overreaction to it. If you haven’t been around his youtube page before, hurry up! H really got some golden SWTOR Vidoes there for you to enjoy. We will definitely be posting more of his stuff in the cumming weeks. Enjoy the video below:

TOR TV: Exploring Hutta / Uninstanced Jiguuna Airport Hangar

Youtube user guyfromostrava found an interesting mechanic in Star Wars: The old Republic. As you can see from the video below; he is able to  pivot the camera upwards when he jumps. This Seems funny as it somehow influences the position of his hitbox making him jump higher. Also when you use “sprint” you actually jump higher. If you are are interested in exploration like this, I recoment you to check out owncore. They have a growing community for Exploration in Star Wars: The old republic.

Empire guild The Galactic 5th Colum of The Ebon Hawk server is arranging role playing event happening on Friday the 28th. SO if your up to some rioting between xmas and new years eve, come to Dromund Kaas, Kaas City, the Spires of Victory at 9pm EST on Friday 12/28/12 . Check out the video below: A significant number of Dromund Kaas citizens are protesting Sith infighting and incompetent military commanders causing the death’s of many loyal servants of the Empire. Behind the scenes, the GFC has been inciting the protest. Naturally, there will be a massive crackdown and chaos will ensue. Just how we like it. So here’s more of the OOC stuff. Two groups will gather opposite each other. One group is the protesters, the other is law enforcement. Those RPing law enforcement should wear Imperial Trooper armor to get in the spirit of things. And the protesters should be unarmed and dressed in…

TOR TV: Sometimes you get wipes at 1%. And sometimes THIS happens!!

This video was recorded  on 17th December at 2:00am GMT. When the guild  “Binary Sunset” battled Kephess.  I guess your just lucky some times 🙂 Binary Sunset is named after the iconic scene from Star Wars IV – A New Hope, and we’re based on the Progenitor (EU), an RP-PVE server. they are a multi-national European Guild; the raid in question including players from England, Iceland, Portugal, Turkey, Germany, Belgium and Spain. This was their  13th try that evening, on a boss they  hadn’t attempted before, and at 2:00am GMT. Given their timezone differences everyone was getting a little tired, but they couldn’t just call it – they are  a mature Guild of working age, and likely to be spread far and wide for Christmas with families. This week was the last chance to get an attempt in on completing Terror from Beyond in 2012. As a Guild they had ups and downs, their previous GM disbanded…

TOR TV: Jedi Samurai

Nowadays, Samurai-dom is less about kicking butt with a giant Katana and more about honor and justice, in other words, bushido without a giant knife at your side. This kind of sucks really, so some dude from France created his own “samudi” code in Star Wars:  The old republic. This new way of life combines the way of the jedi, with the way of the Samurai. Sounds hard to understand? Worry not;  the creator of this noble way of life also made an instructional video about it. Check it out:

TOR TV: Jedi on the Fly

This SWTOR Machinima was created by youtube user Metaworlds. The video shows  a lone Jedi travelling around Coruscant accompanied by the sweet chillout music by Rael Wissdorf. The video really shows the  beautiful scenery of the planet and how great the graphic in the game really is. If, like me, you enjoy a little chill out music while you’re grinding alone, this is definitely worth bookmarking.

TOR TV: Video Guide to Voiced Emotes on the PTS

The guys over at swtorface.com created a short video showing all the voiced slash commands currently available on the public test server. This is slash commands  like /apologize /cheer, /chuckle, etc etc etc. It’s apparently not complete yet, as it is possible to find more sound files when you data mine the client. In this video you can listen to (and see the actions of) Smuggler, Jedi Knight, Trooper, Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent SwtorFace will be updating this as more commands become available. You can follow there progress here.

TOR TV: Darkness Assassin solo Black Talon Hard mode (speed run)

Chaori, the guy who solo killed Darth Malgus a while back, is back with a new show off video were he solos The Black Talon in Hard mode. His  biggest issue when soloing is tanking through enrages surviving long enough to finish them. So if your interested in getting some phat lewt, I think a tank/healer combo would be able to do this without much difficulty. It’s still a pretty damn awesome that Chaori did this by him self though. His gear: Full min-maxed Campaign with 3 piece Dread Guard. Talos (healer comp) is full BH/Campaign

TOR TV: SWTOR triple monitor setup

Ever wonder how SWTOR plays on 3 monitors? If you don’t do it your self, or have any friends who does it, here is your chance.  In this video, the player have 3 24″ 1920X1080 Displays running SWTOR at an average of about 45fps in populated and battle scenarios. This features two of his characters found ( both RP’ers) Belak is the Trooper Perv, the other is Nathe his Jedi healer. While you may already be running two displays (every graphics card provides at least two outputs, with most motherboards also providing display output and cheap access to a second graphics card), it’s now easy for everyone to enjoy three, four, six or even 10 displays. While many people might think it’s simply unnecessary to have this many screens, triple-panel gaming and a host of demanding jobs require an amount of digital desktop space only a multi-monitor setup can provide. You…

TOR TV: My Sith is a Jerk #9

TheDrunkAndThePwned is back with a new installment of “My Sith is a Jerk”. As always they are funny as hell. I’m pretty sure my next alt will be a sith inquisitor – because damn! they got some funny one liners.  It’s also nice to see how the production quality from TheDrunkAndThePwned is improving. Anyways, check out the video below and learn to deal…

TOR TV: Terror from Beyond is a beautiful operation

Youtube user heltidsluffare created this short film of his very first run in Terror from Beyond.  As he mention in the title of the movie, Terror from Beyond is a beautiful operation- and so I agree. Personally I thought it was  like a breath of fresh air loading in for the first time.  It really had that big open feel that I was hoping more of the planets/zones would have. I also think this has been my least buggy experience with an operation to be honest.  My ops group have not hit a single bug that stopped our progress… The only one I’ve seen at all is when the adds on the first boss don’t despawn after a wipe, but we were able to kill them without triggering the boss, so no worries really.

TOR TV: How to gear an alt fast

Youtube heltidsluffare made an interesting video showing how he geared his latest alt in SWTOR.  The same day as he got level 50 he was fully geared to do anything. Personally I can definitely foresee some people really appreciating this video. However…  1.4 made his weapon choice much easier! You can use the ranked warzone commendations to get a war hero lightsaber immediately at 50 instead of down-ranking them to buy the battlemaster lightsaber. You get a better product, and you pay less. I know you made your plans before the patch, but it is such a significant change that players today need to be aware of. Still a great watch. Check it out below:

TOR TV: New patch 1.4 Emotes (male and female)

Emotes are a big part of MMORPG’s.  It makes your character feel more alive. F2P is gonna be like a new launch. SOME new content, Lots and lots of polish. Already seeing this with shadow optimization, facial expressions and not emotes. Cant wait for armor dyes! Nov-December will be glorious! I really like the new set of emotes, how many other MMORPG’s have they actually implemented a “mood” feature for your character?
