Jeff Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hahaha Pringles of death..........this screenshot makes me happy though maybe there is gonna be at least an option for normal sized hilts. Also he has some pretty bamf jedi robes/amour. http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/816935/bioware-mmo-project/images/bioware-mmo-project-untitled-20081021113619600.html That is concept art, not a screenshot. All the screenshots of lightsabers we have seen have been huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_vilas Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 He looks a little like a mandolorian, and that is something I don't like. I hope they will scale them down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwannaSauna Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Bring back the Snickers-size lightsaber hilts! These thermos cans don't cut it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Rider Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If they want you to be able to recognize the weapon, they can always add glowy effects, but personally, I'm really hoping to upgradable weapons like KOTOR has so that even two players with the Best Beatstick Blade in the Universe can still have notably different weapons.

Weiser_Cain Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I'd think when a plasma beam shot out of one end you'd get the hint. Yes, I really want them to cut back on the number of doubleblade hilts there are like say a mid level quest or if we construct our hilts by skill requirement (crap! ruined another set of crystals!).

JesusIsGonnaOwnSatan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 blegh. i find the pringles of death kinda annoying (but i love pringles!) and i hope they make them look better in the final release. i always liked the thin sabers. the ones in all the other sw media look great imo. these things look like they're 6kg. maybe GL wanted to bring back his old idea about lightsabers being really heavy, and sent special word to the developers. in sw eu, jedi hid their lightsabers to be subtle. imagine hiding those things in your robes. why couldnt they just have them hanging off the belt?

PoiuyWired Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Using flashlights from the sims as lightsaber is going a bit too far. Unless the characters shown are all halflings and they are actually holding standard human sized weaponary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwnzor326 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 http://kotaku.com/5075263/biowares-halloweeners-mock-their-own-giant-lightsabers At least the guys at Bioware have a sense of humor.......I think they should at least have a choice between Pringles cans and normal hilts.

Ctrl Alt Del Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I've said it and will repeat. I don't think the size of the sabers need to be altered one bit. They can make (radically) different hilts and put one touch or another, such as a colourful glow or aura around it to designate a specific weapon or the other.

Pwnzor326 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 such as a colourful glow or aura around it to designate a specific weapon or the other. Thats a good idea its kinda like the unstable and compact crystals from the Force Unleashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weiser_Cain Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Though it spits in the face of stealth if you hilt pulses your alignment all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think they already know and confirmed they are changing it. Thank god. I just hope it's enough to satisfy the fans taste.

Light or Dark side, the Qel-droma sparring sabers will always emanate a blue aura. That's what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomberman65 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I personaly like the look of the sabers. Well I like the look of them in this pic. Any bigger than that and its horrible. But thats just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logan23 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I do not believe they will keep the over sized hilts. What I see is that they plan to allow players to custom their own hilts. I reason for the large size is for the testing of new skins for the hilts. When you break down the character you see one shoulder pads to give reference marks for when armor or clothing to be placed over. The hilts are increased to show that you will be able see your hilts on your belt as you walk around the world. The size is just for them to allow them to test different skins. The heads are stylish and as they test, they throw on new heads to see how they look. The bodies are skin tight clothing since they didn't want to show them in the underwear or naked,lol.

Logan Pretty sure they will be shrinking the coffee can sabers. When even the devs are poking fun at the oversized nature of them It's a pretty clear indication that they will scale them back a bit.
