100 Fun Facts About SWTOR You Didn't Know

#31 is an absolute win

101. There's a reason why they throw artifact/adaptive gear at you, despite being F2P without authori$ation.

102. There's also a reason why the Cartel Market subtly obfuscates the price of gameplay unlocks.

103. You have to pay to hide your helmet.

104. You used to have to pay to "sprint".

I hated huttball. I stopped queueing for pvp because of it. I loved all the other pvp zones.

Wrong.
Rdr2: most expensive game made: 900 million dollar, baby

Kotar 1 and Kotar 2.

Knights of the Amish Republic

I think they did good at capturing the John Williams sound, tbh. It's not perfect, but damned close.

As much as I love this game, it is well known that #25 is incorrect. Knights of the Old Republic was the first to introduce a same sex romance option in the form of Juhani the Cathar Jedi Padawan. In KOTOR the only way to trigger her romance is to play a female main character.

Only reason swtor is dying is cause they release like 30 minutes story a year story is what make people return the group content isn't as popular most people play just for the story

Take a shot for every time he says KotAr, Knights of the Anal Republic?

Also the Saber-locking comes from KOTOR, where if you and the enemy fight with melee weapons, they have entire fights animated with parries, blocks, kicks and many more.

oh yes because no one knew SWTOR was made by EA

Nr. 40 Lana is if course the best girl!

my favourite is Sor it brought so many intresting new chrachters into the game and i also love Kotfe i felt like a movie! or a show and it was a way better than the disney Sw movies! i play the game since 2015 and i still love it and i always coming back to play it and i will play it till the end!
people talk since launch that Swtor is dead but its not!
its almost 13 years old!
i hope that boradsword bring some fresh air in the game a big expanson like Sor would be cool!

All nice to see all this rolled out as a Veteran Player but at the end this facts and features are all meaningless and are only a "waste of time" in my opinion because it's a half dead game content wise. And the Content is a joke the new "expecks" only have 30m-1h Story in it and after that its the same thing over and over again for over 1-2 years :s I have a little bit hope that with Broadsword this Game get a new life with content and awakes from the Coma but this is a 0,1% chance :/

Huttball was soooo much fun!

I do not agree with those grades. I am not a huge fan of Shadow of Revan, because I think they did Revan dirty, they should have ended his story with the Foundry. none of the expansions deserve an A let alone an S. I would give RotHC a B, SoR a C, KotFE and KotET a B, Onslaught a D and same with LotS. No expansion fails outright and none is fantastic, they are all ok to great in my opinion.
I do want that Lego Fury-Class Imperial Interceptor now, I love that star ship, I wanna build it and hand it gtom the roof of this room

Itll always be my 2nd favorite mmo

For the same sex romance thing, couldnt a female revan romance juhani in kotor 1?

Nice video!

Well shit, I started as a jedi counselor because the flavor text made it sound cool. I liked the play style for as far as I got, but the giant major city was too overwhelming for me and finding out that professions where locked behind the subscription made me uninstall.

I really wish they'd release this on consoles.

This makes me want to go back to this game.

My forever home MMO! I might not play it as much anymore but whenever I do return to check stuff out I'm always brought to tears (pure joy)!
I've so many memories, but my fondest are the hours before launch and during launch and the UTTER chaos on the forums with the "LET ME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!" posts. Those were so fun! :)

SWTOR didn’t do well because it came out during peak WoW and it was seen as a Star Wars WoW clone. And it came out when people didn’t want to subscribe to games and went free to play quickly when a game going free to play was seen as a negative unlike today.

The Best cosmetic in SWTOR is the Princess Leia Slave Costume 🙂

Many of this are stuff everyone knows, or could easily figure out. Satele Shan descending from Bastilla Shan? Revan being part of the Shadow of REVAN expansion?

The Lego sets were something I didn't know about, thanks for that.

I did a quick search on Ebay and.. oh my days... thanks for that!

I hope this game gets a proper revival with the new team taking charge. It's so good but has been lacking meaningful updates for year. I believe in the new team! You can do it!!

Hilariously, every so often, I find myself wanting to go back because of RP. The game's engine is a mess, pvp no longer has ranked and pve is meh. SWTOR RP is some of the best I've ever experienced and I've made lifelong friends from across the globe b/c of it.

Super glad you are still covering SWTOR. I've been playing since launch and really hope Broadsword can somehow bring in more energy to the game!

I'm really happy to see more SWTOR videos from you. I love this game, and it deserves the attention. Would like to see a video of you rating the companion characters.

I'm not crying. There's something in my eye. *UNLIMITED POWER*

Here's a cool fact; when the inquisitor/consular got the phase walk agility, the one that you place and can teleport back to. Assassins could use it and it was broken in huttball. You could place it at the enemy goal post and teleport back to it holding the ball and the game would register it as a goal initially.

RotHC S
SoR A
KOTFE F
KOTET C
Onslaught B
Legacy of the Sith D

Don’t @ me, vet players know I’m right.

“kotar” 😂

The beginning of the end was that EA bought rights to the HEROEngine before the people making it had it finished. They walked by their small booth at a convention and decided to throw the engine at Bioware to make the game. As Bioware's home-brew engine at the time wouldn't work for an MMO. And they were going to make a new engine from scratch. Which would delay the games production. Because the engine wasn't finished. The toolset's Bioware made for it would break every time the engine was updated. The reason why it's so modified was because Bioware needed functionality the engine didn't support (yet). So they'd have to make it. And then constantly recode it when the shit broke on updates. It was so bad, that EA paid the people who made the engine to work with Bioware while they finished developing the engine. So they could test the engine changes before implementing them. To help mitigate breaking the toolset and mods. That's why the planets were small, the engine is janky as hell, and performance sucks ass even to this day. When you compare it to ESO. The game was doomed before it was ever released. As they spent considerable amount of time and money fighting with that engine and the mods with every piece of content released.

Oh, and they spent too much money on advertising the game to "kill WoW". When half of that should have been used to fund more development to fix the engine before launch.

Such an underrated game

How is it that you pronounce TOR two different ways? SWOTOR and KOTAR?

This game was released at the perfect time: when i was fed up with wow. My favorite character was the bounty hunter of course.

Dear Mr Nixxiom. I have been watching you(And Moocluck) since the beginning.. And I am SO HAPPY you also make SWTOR videos! :D I have lived both WoW and SWTOR on-and-off since they both launched.. So thank you for everything you do! :D 🏳 Norway.

#25 was the beginning of the end.

What killed it for me was the copy paste abilities across factions. They couldn’t even make the classes unique…

Love the video. Always been a fan of the Old Republic series of games in total. Glad to see you still bringing attention to it.

p.s. If you pronounce KotOR as Kot-AR again I'm going to "cause a disturbance in the force" you irl

i love swtor! <3

Which class should I play for the story?
I have no interest in endgame. I intend on running an agent regardless but am thinking of having a second character. Which other classes have great storylines?

I love add-ons. As long as I'm playing the game why do they care? I understand not allowing creation of add-ons that will take away gameplay or decision making but I just like the ability to modify my UI to a crazy degree and I like the option to have additional information available to me in a more convenient way (like add-ons that mark NPC locations, upcoming talents (without having to be at a trainer).... stuff like that. Nothing that automates anything just ones that remove the need for wikis and stuff.
