SW:TOR Update - 8/1/2010 - Dromund Kaas

This week, we get another bloody planet. As if we haven't had enough of those recently. I don't want to seem angry or anything, or maybe I do, but, it seems to me that we can lay off the planets for a month or so, and get some updates and info that people are looking forward to more lately. In other words: species.

Regardless, it's an alright update, considering we're finally finding out which planet the Sith Emperor and the Dark Council reside on. It is also the base of operations for the Imperial Agents, so, who knows, this may be the place for the Imperial Agents to start out.

I also like the look of a constantly raining planet. For some reason I prefer it over constant sunshine, or no environmental changes at all. If I were Sith, this would be the place for me.

We also get Issue 23 of the Webcomic, the "Threat of Peace". It was pretty much fighting all the way, and added little to the plot. However, and this might just be paranoia, but I didn't feel entirely at ease with the words of Satele in the final panel. Her expression seemed that she might betray, however, it is unlikely as we have found little evidence of her turning to the dark side, except for her anger. Once again, this might just be paranoia, and nothing more.

It is sort of bland to get another planet however I'm liking the look of this one. I'm a big fan of rain so I like that it has sort of a constant rain thing going. It looks like a great place for Imperial agents to be.

The comic was alright too. Its kinda hard to tell without hearing the tone of her voice though Typho.

I gotta agree with typho here, while the planets are interesting I am still waiting for some meaty updates that will really give us some real idea into what TOR is all about. I want gameplay, skill trees, space battle info, all that good stuff. But i guess we will just have to hope for next friday.

But the planet looks cool with the dark atmosphere and rain, it is a very sith looking planet

Seems interesting, though I do agree that a species would be more appreciated. Hopefully next time we get something good.

Seems an interesting planet indeed . Never heard of it actually.. And yeah, maybe it's the starting planet for us Agents.

I like the planet updates, this planet looks nice. I thought the sith main planet would be on korriban but since there leaders are here i guess this is the sith main planet.

I think that Koriban is more of a place for force sensitive Sith while Dromund Kaas will be more like the military/government hub of the Sith.

I'd just like to add to my early paranoia/theory about the possibility of Satele falling to the dark side.

There is a speech bubble on page one, in the second panel, that says, and I quote this:

"She will come, and she will fall. They all will. It has been foreseen."

Now, that may mean fall in battle, or fall to the dark side. I have a feeling that "She" is Satele.

Another paragraph of writing, in the description of this Issue of the Threat of Peace.

"When Jedi Knight Satele Shan tracks down her friends and realizes her Master yet lives, however, anything can happen…"

That might be more hints. Also, I was reading the comments, and a lot of people seem to be agreeing with me on this. Or, then again, there are people saying that Satele's Master, Dar'nala, has the dark side taint in there, and Satele is there to kill her.

Who knows, though. We will find out in due time.

Now that I think about it, this will probably be the Sith equivilant of Coruscant, and will be the main Sith hub of activity, containing all the key buildings of an MMO capital, ie banks, auction houses.
