Cloak fans rejoice!!!

[Hannibal]

Got these quotes from the official forums:

Casey has mentioned before and I will confirm it again. There are cloaks in Knights of the Old Republic. So all you cloak-heads will be happy.

 

So be ready for free flowing Jedi cloaks.

 

See, all it takes is patience and nagging the devs.

Hell yes! I can't wait to have one! I still have to wait for the fall though

lol

 

Thanks for finding this Hannibal!

*Bows Down*

 

Hannibal is God! Great finding man, this really rocks! Clocks will be sweet as long as they are free flowing, which they almost certainly will be.

 

The people here are the greatest, the stuff they go looking for to report to us. Respect to Burrie, Han, Leemu and anyone i forgot.

Mmmm, I'm more than happy with a clock, as long as it displays the time

 

Excellent find, Hannibal. I didn't think that they'd make it into the game, but this'll be a great addition. I wonder what they will look like in the final game. Here's hoping that they'll at least release a screenshot.

[Frosty_V2.1]

*rubs hands together* "excellent"

 

Actually I saw this earlier heh, well anyway tis good to hear again. And they will be rare items..no doubt carrying over some of the strength..or taint of their former owners

[Jedi Apprentice]

Everything little thing like this that isn't necessary, but they still put in the game makes it only that much better. It really shows how dedicated BioWare is to making this a great game.

 

I can't wait to see how bad (or good) my PC looks in one of these.

 

Excellent find, Hannibal.

[Hannibal]

No problem everyone. JA is absolutely right, this game would have been no worse without cloaks but this goes under the extra little things that will make this game great.

Sorry but this won't happen. They also went on to explain the screenshot process and how it takes 2-3 weeks to put out screenshots. They finishing up the game and aren't going to take the time to put out any new shots any time soon.

 

If anyone asks why 2-3 weeks there's a whole approval process between Bioware and LucasArts. The screens could show to much for LA and get sent back or not show everything they want to show.

[Jedi Apprentice]

I can draw you a screenshot, Burrie.

 

Would that do?

 

I am glad that they won't take the time to make a screenshot for it actually. That's something we don't need to live, but we would enjoy it.

 

I'm surprised they don't have someone who's job is to do that kind of thing though.

 

Ahh, well, I'll be able to live until the game comes out. Maybe they'll release some info on the site though.

[StormHammer]

Great news...and thanks for sharing.

 

It's good to see the devs taking the time to add the extra spit and polish to the game. Sometimes it's the little things that make a game great, rather than just good.

 

I can't wait to see some cloak-and-lightdagger action.

Funny ****er aren't ya?

[dark jedi 8]

wow Hannibal! great find! this only adds to the realism of being a jedi, i can't wait to see how they look. and IMO it should be worth the wait, hopefully!

[Drafus]

I think that it would be great if there was a black cloak for those who wants to be sith and it would be very cool if there was an option that gives us the opportunity of taking it of for a fight. But I doubt that this could be real. Anyway a man can dream.

[Jedi Apprentice]

If they have cloaks, then they would have them in more than one color.

 

Black is one of those colors that is almost gauranteed to be in there along with all shades of brown. I wouldn't be surprised to see other mild colors too.

 

We don't know about throwing your cape off for a battle, but you could always visit your inventory quickly and take it off and return to the battle and afterwards put it back on.

[Wolfman21]

I now see there are cloaks in KOTOR this game would not be complete without them. Wait has anyone actually seen them(cloaks) and I saw a message from XBOX.com that referred to KOTOR as an Xbox LIVE game.

 

 

[Hannibal]

They haven't released any screen shots of cloaks and have said that they won't be. So we'll all have to wait.

 

It will be XBox Live enabled for extra content. Not online play though. It's still singleplayer.

 

BTW

[Dharkbayne]

We should be able to put on a cloak, take all the rest of your clothes off, and as a special attack, Force Flash! Muahahahahah! Witness the sith wang! PH34R M3H!

[Wolfman21]

Wow what was that ok. Great find I can't wait any longer for this game 2 years and I am finally going crazy from the wait. Dam you you slow stupid computer dam you.

 

 

[Dharkbayne]

"Wow what was that ok."

 

 

I.... I don't know what that was...

ph34r t3h w4ng!

[Taos]

Force flash? o.O That's enough spam for now, thanks.

[Wolfman21]

spam

 

 

 

1. <messaging> (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python

"Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to

one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other

messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of

netiquette.

 

It is possible to spam a newsgroup with one well- (or ill-)

planned message, e.g. asking "What do you think of abortion?"

on soc.women. This can be done by cross-posting, e.g. any

message which is crossposted to alt.rush-limbaugh and

alt.politics.homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both

groups. (Compare troll and flame bait).

 

Posting a message to a significant proportion of all

newsgroups is a sure way to spam Usenet and become an object

of almost universal hatred. Canter and Siegel spammed the net

with their Green card post.

 

If you see an article which you think is a deliberate spam, DO

NOT post a follow-up - doing so will only contribute to the

general annoyance. Send a polite message to the poster by

private e-mail and CC it to "postmaster" at the same address.

Bear in mind that the posting's origin might have been forged

or the apparent sender's account might have been used by

someone else without his permission.

 

The word was coined as the winning entry in a 1937 competition

to choose a name for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat"

(now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat"). Correspondant

Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty

Python by at least ten years. He cites an editor for the

Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a

can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it

would stick to the unwary passersby."

 

Usenet newsgroup: news:news.admin.net-abuse.

 

See also netiquette.

 

2. (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To indiscrimately send

large amounts of unsolicited e-mail meant to promote a

product or service. Spam in this sense is sort of like the

electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant".

 

In the 1990s, with the rise in commercial awareness of the

net, there are actually scumbags who offer spamming as a

"service" to companies wishing to advertise on the net. They

do this by mailing to collections of e-mail addresses,

Usenet news, or mailing lists. Such practises have caused

outrage and aggressive reaction by many net users against the

individuals concerned.

 

3. (Apparently a generalisation of sense 2, above) To abuse

any network service or tool by for promotional purposes.

 

"AltaVista is an index, not a promotional tool. Attempts to

fill it with promotional material lower the value of the index

for everyone. [...] We will disallow URL submissions from

those who spam the index. In extreme cases, we will exclude

all their pages from the index." -- Altavista.

 

4. <jargon, programming> To crash a program by overrunning a

fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data.

 

See also buffer overflow, overrun screw, smash the stack.

 

5. <chat, games> (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To flood any

chat forum or Internet game with purposefully annoying

text or macros. Compare Scrolling.

spam

 

vt.,vi.,n. [from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To

crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively

large input data. See also buffer overflow, overrun screw,

smash the stack. 2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with

irrelevant or inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with

as little as one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What

do you think of abortion?" on soc.women). This is often done with

cross-posting (e.g. any message which is crossposted to

alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost

inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with troll behavior;

the latter more specific term has become more common. 3. To send many

identical or nearly-identical messages separately to a large number

of Usenet newsgroups. This is more specifically called `ECP',

Excessive Cross-Posting. This is one sure way to infuriate nearly

everyone on the Net. See also velveeta and jello. 4. To bombard

a newsgroup with multiple copies of a message. This is more

specifically called `EMP', Excessive Multi-Posting. 5. To

mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email messages,

particularly those containing advertising. Especially used when the

mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases

without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms include UCE,

UBE. 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output. For instance,

someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and comes back to

find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam".

 

The later definitions have become much more prevalent as the

Internet has opened up to non-techies, and to most people senses 3 4

and 5 are now primary. All three behaviors are considered abuse of

the net, and are almost universally grounds for termination of the

originator's email account or network connection. In these senses

the term `spam' has gone mainstream, though without its original

sense or folkloric freight - there is apparently a widespread myth

among lusers that "spamming" is what happens when you dump cans of

Spam into a revolving fan.
