Voice Actors

January 22 2012
If you're like me, throughout the game you think "Huh, that person sounds familiar" when someone speaks. This happens to me a lot, so I wanted to start a thread of all the actors you've identified in-game.

The only one I can remember off the top of my head is Geoffrey Rush (MY FAV ACTOR!!!!). Every time I go to the male Sith Inquisitor trainer, Geoffrey is there to greet me with that wonderful voice of his.

I had a couple of others figured out but forgot them. You guys figure any out?

I hope to get ingame more once I've got everything working like clockwork. I know that some people would like to see the officers on more and we have 3 new officers starting tomorrow who will be announced later. However, we don't plan on doing any babysitting and a lot of our work is done on the website as much as in-game. With 6 officers spread over 3 different timezones, not everyone will see us regularly in game, I've tried to switch up my sleeping pattern this past week so I could be on a few nights at US evenings, but I won't be doing that all the time as I need to sleep, lol. I just want to say that even if you don't see us regularly, we are still there.

There are 20 Captains spread across all the in-game guilds equally, who are available to help any member with any problem at most times.

All the officers can be contacted 24 hours a day via PM on the site and they will get back to you as soon as they possibly can.

I also hope that everyone knows that the real heart of any guild is the members. I know how good this community is and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone helping everyone else.

Also, quick question for anyone who knows. Which of the jedi related classes in SWTOR is better (I know there are two of them, forgot the names)? What are the benefits of each one?


It's hard to call any one of the classes 'better' from an objective perspective. It's more about your play style preference and interest in story more than anything.

The Jedi Consulars evolve into either a Tank/Stealth melee DPS role (a Shadow wielding a Lightsaber Staff), or a Healer/Damage ranged role (a Sage wielding a Single Saber).

The Jedi Knights evolve into either a Tanker/Melee DPS role (a Guardian wielding a Single Saber) or a pure DPS role (a Sentinel, I believe, wielding Dual Sabers).

Both have a unique class storyline. I don't know much about the Knight's story yet (my Knight is only around level 3 or 4), but I've gotten to partipate in most of the Consular's story vicariously through my husband. At least he first Chapter, deals with a Force-borne plague infecting the Jedi masters (Varel, my husband has been playing the Consular). We just started Chapter 2 (of 3 Chapters, I believe) at level 35, his new Chapter (at least at the start) seems to be about diplomacy to help keep the Republic together (by contrast, my Trooper's Chapter 2 is starting off with the discovery of a devastating new Imperial weapon I need to prepare an assault against).

I think there needs to be more patience for a few more days until officers are announced, promoted and start getting into the swing of doing their duties. Agitating and increasing the pressure on those few officers who are doing the hard work at the moment isn't going to be effective. Give the processes that have been implemented time to work.


Very sound advice, thank you.

Sorry for any hurt feelings. I'm going to follow some great advice once given to me by my Great Grand Mother............

I can not figure out how to post the picture in the thread only as an attachment.

Until i figure it out I will repost the attachment.

I will have to find the shot of Xal before level 40. But until then this is Captain Xal Starlighter at level 50.

I think that when the officer application process completes, a lot of the issues mentioned will go away...

At the moment, you don't see officers because there are only three split between three guilds, two factions and the site. At some point, they've got to be able to enjoy the game as well - I haven't seen officers been able to do this for a while. I'd burn out quickly if all I was able to do with administration and official functions.

The way to fix this is to appoint more officers - We all know this is in progress with applications closed.

A lot of that makes sense and I also think that when we start having our membership meetings that it will help a lot for people to know where officers stand and know they care. I've personally gone out of my way to contact the Officers (which I know others can do) to express my concerns and have never felt that they didn't care.

Either way thank you for helping me understand :)

I understand your not trying to be arugmenative, I'm in the same boat. But it seems that everything is always a "prove your point or it holds no meaning".

Having offices on gives a comfort level to the membership. Sorry this is just a fact.

The officers are the ones monitoring guild chat, answering questions from the guild membership, hosting guild events and every other thing an officer does in a guild.

If there are no officers on, who is going to handle these kind of functions? The captains? Is the membership suppose to handle these things?

What happens if we have another disruptive member in the guild and there are no officers on? What is the membership suppose to do? Sit there and take it while we wait for an officer? Oh I know...take a screen shot and then what? Please don't toss at me the "ignore them", I already have several guildies on ignore due to their posts in guild chat.

We will always have more members then officers or even captains but if you never see an officer log in or if they are only logging in for just a few minutes how is that supporting the membership or giving the membership some level of comfort that their is a leadership, direction and support?

Maybe all the above doesn't matter to the officers?

As always this is just my perception and opinion.

I hope that the officers are selected for each side. Selecting offices who "sometimes" play on one side or the other is not going to work as they will rarely if ever log in and work with the guildies.


I'm curious so I'm posting because I need clarification. What would an officer being on and in the guild actually matter? I thought the big point behind being in a guild is the members and the unity. I keep hearing people mention that Officers need to be seen more but I'm really not sure how that affects what a guild is or how it is run (as long as they are doing the tasks they need when they are on).

There will always be way more captains/members than there are officers and I am really not sure the expectation that people are having. I know there was an opening process and they are going to be announcing officers but who knows out of those members who actually play from the Republic side or who play during what times. If there wasn't anyone who plays republic who offered I wouldn't think you'd deny others who are willing to assist with some of the menial tasks taking away from their game time. I know when I was a Guild Master I was just always thankful for help I honestly didn't care what time or whatever people played.

Sure people have left in a large guild this always happen. You have people leave and you have more join. It is a constant cycle that is actually one of the best benefits of being in a big guild.

Anyway I just wanted to ask because I'm honestly confused and wanted clarification. Please don't think I want to start a fight or an argument my mom always said, "If you don't know ask" so that what I am doing.

Here's my Jedi Consular Varel (Currently lvl 31)

I've noticed a major issue with his hair selection which I thought was super cute. I can't display most of the headpieces I get because for some reason his hair insists on displaying through the headpiece.

He's made a bit of progress though when he was only lvl 2 and living on Tython he looked like this.


Try being a hooded miraluka (hood option in character creation) and having a hooded robe... Your hood ALWAYS clips with the robe's hood and you can't put the hood down to get rid of the awful effect. (At least not in beta. I hope they've fixed it, by now.)
