|A premium multifilament string, X-One BiPhase delivers superb comfort, feel and a crisp response. A good choice for players seeking an arm-friendly string without sacrificing power. Provides good tension maintenance too. Offers a livelier feel, but with slightly less durability compared to the 16-gauge version and is a great choice to liven up a tight string pattern. This reel is stringer friendly with printed marks counting out each meter.
Comments: Unbelievable feel and great on the arm. I don't like poly due to my dense string pattern and low powered
Prince Tour Pro 98. This string is very powerfull in my opinion. Had to change my strokes a little to make spin though which was
surprising, but little spin is the only negative I have. It livened up my racquet. I recommend this for anyone wishing to liven up a
racquet if you want a little power. Only have had them in for a few hours but seem to have no wear or tension loss. 5 stars!
From: Ty, 2/11/17
Comments: Good comfortable string with good feel. But since it is soft, you don't expect it to generate as
much spin as a poly. The "problem" is its playability drops off after 5-6 hours of play if you hit hard. It is not breaking nor
fraying yet but you begin to feel it is going dead. So it may not be much cheaper than gut, if you compare its usable life.
Might be better as a hybrid on the crosses.
From: Mark, 11/15
Comments: Strung my RF97 with Biphase 17g on the mains at 59 lbs, Babolat RPM Blast 18g on the crosses.
Great feel but for the hard hitters, the string lasted an average of 2.5 to 3 hours of play. Great for people seeking for good
feel and playability.
From: Elton, 6/15
Comments: Using it on my second Prince 100 Tour (18x20) strung at 56 lbs. The other 100 Tour was strung
the X-one Biphase 18 (also at 56 lbs) which I wrote a short review on it's respective page. Similar to the 18, ball pocketing
is great
and spin is obtained more from techniques. The power level is a little less compared to the 18, which is expected. The feel
crisp however, is much less apparent in this 17. It is a good string no doubt. However, for me using the 100 Tour with flex
below 58 and the feel everyone described as "mushy/soft/different" lack of crispness could be a deal breaker at this price
There are many others multis that can give the similar results. If you are not a string breaker, I highly recommend the 18,
else a
firmer racquet may reap more benefits out of this 17.
From: GW, 2/15
Comments: Best hybrid I have used so far. Strung in a Wilson Pro Staff Six.One 90 on the mains at 51 lbs and
Babolat RPM Blast 18g at 47 lbs on the cross. Good for the arm, great ball pop great overall playability. I observed a great
loss in
playbility if you use it on the cross due to significant loss of snap back. String set combination lasted 8 hours of play before
mains started showing signs of wear and dynamic tension starts dropping significantly. String broke after 12 hours of play.
stinging my other racquets at different tensions to suit different conditions. Will be sticking to this product from here on
From: Elton, 1/15
Comments: I recently purchased a stringer and a reel of this string for my 11 year old son. I cut out the RPM
to do a practice stringing in my Aeropro Drive with this string. I was amazed by how much I improved. My serve especially,
slice, or flat down the T out wide. I felt like a major league pitcher with a mastery of all the pitches. Net play is fantastic. If
are Nadal and need or want to hit 50 groundstrokes per rally from the baseline, this might not be the string for you.
However if
you are an all court player who is looking for variety, playability, and consistency? This is your string. Added benefit -- it is
easy on the arm.
From: Eric, 7/14
Comments: I'm nearing 60 (years not string tension) and playing singles three times a week at the 3.5-4.0
This is s great string for saving your arm and shoulder and living to fight another day. This string frays quickly but keeps its
tension for a while before breaking. Although the 17 gauge is a bit less durable, it does provide more spin and control than
the 16
gauge.. The string is a bit pricey, but it's a lot cheaper than physical therapy or surgery. I kept decreasing the tension until
at 52 lbs in my arm-friendly ProKennex 7G.
From: Joe, 7/14
Comments: Using this in my Youtek Radical MP which is a low powered racquet. Strung at 57 lbs. I generate a
to medium swing speed. I noticed a little more pop all around on my strokes. Felt really good on shoulder and arm after
initial and
subsequent hitting sessions. Good string.
From: JJ, 6/14
Comments: I play with the Volkl Organix 8 (300g) and so far I've strung it with Prince Beast, Technifibre Black
Red Code, and RPM Blast. I strung this with a hybrid of BlackCode (52lbs) and Biphase (55 lbs) and it plays incredible. I do
the Prince Beast/Biphase combo might be better and I will try it next time. But, I will no longer be using VS Natural gut as
softer string with a poly after using this string! So soft and much crisper than natural gut!
From: Andrei, 9/13
Comments: I had this strung on a K 6.1 Tour leaded up at 55lbs. It plays quite well, the feeling was crisp, but
boardy, I had some ball cupping/pocketing, and it is very comfortable. Spin generation was adequate, I cannot comment

I figure this could be good for people with arm/elbow/shoulder issue, or over 40 years of age (please don't be offended). It
cheaper to pay for string and labour, rather than seeing a doctor. My NTRP is a 5.0
From: Christopher, 7/13
Comments: These feel very good and feel soft, are easy on your arms and good if you do a lot of placement
shots. I
can stick with this string for a long time. But there is not that much power from the baseline and doesn't add that much
spin and
lastly, it don't last! It lasted maybe 2 weeks (approx. playing 8 hrs a week) and for me, that is a waste of money.
From: Jack, 5/13
Comments: After reading all the good things from all the reviews, I bought 4 of these X-One 17g. I must say
I'm a very good player, as I don't know how to rate it in number but I play tournaments and leagues in my country for years
with much success. Now, I'm telling you this because my feedback is very different from all I read. I strung it first on my
IG MP at 52 lbs, and the racquet felt very stiff. I couldn't play with it normally, so then I cut it and made a new string job at
50 lbs.
On the court again it felt stiff, and I couldn't find length, as balls went short or way out. This string killed my forehand (my
weapon), as I still couldn't find spin and power. So, I really suffer playing with it.
From: Ozi, 1/13
Comments: The best multi I can settle in. It's my summer string of choice. It plays great but won't last, as I

back to multi the Biphase is always the one, even though I try others from time to time (pricing concern being the driver). I
am a
string breaker and string myself.
From: Dan, 12/12
Comments: I have been using this Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 17g as crosses with Signum Pro Plasma
Hextreme 16L
for a little over a month now. I definitely like the feel of both of these strings. The Tecnifibre strings have great feel and are
but fray like crazy. If you want a string that does not fray, these may not be your string. However, these play great.
From: D., 12/12
Comments: Very comfortable string with enough bite for control. However, I have never used a string that
and then broke so quickly. It's simply not economic. If you don't mind a restring every 10 sets or so then fine. Personally,
I string my own racquets it's not something I want to be doing that often.
From: Toby, 11/12
Comments: This is a great multifilament string. Soft, firm, with good control, and some spin. This is very firm
hitting a regular forehand. It's the best multifilament for me now. I hope it has more durability. The price is a bit high. I
strung a
full bed at 53 lbs on a Pacific X-Force.
From: Tong, 8/12
Comments: This string is the perfect replacement for natural gut without the heavy price tag.
It has "gut-like" feel with plenty of ball pocketing. I'm not a typical string breaker. I play 3
to 4 times per week and have had this string for almost two months. I believe this is perfect
for my Wilson K-Factor Six.One 90 Tour (16x20) strung on the mains at 48lbs and the crosses
with Top Spin Cyber Flash at 44lbs.
From: Chan, 7/12
Comments: Great string, feels very close to Natural Gut. I strung this
on my Head Youtek IG Speed MP 18x20. I loved this string on serve and
from the baseline, gave very good pop. Control and feel was average,
nothing special. What I found really annoying was the after 3 to 4 hours
of aggressive playing, the strings already began to fray. I used Luxilon
ALU Power 16L polyester strings before this and they lasted me a good 7
to 9 weeks. The X1 Biphase breaks way to often and for it's price, it is
not worth it. I had it @54lbs tension. However for the 3 to 4 hours of
play that I did have, they really preformed nicely, very elastic and
powerful. I got deep balls with power and good topspin 90% of the time.
I recommend trying this string for its performance, however you'll need
a deep pocket to afford it.
From: Bimal, 5/12
Comments: I used the X-One Biphase on my crosses and Kirschbaum Pro-Line II on my mains and it only
lasted about 5 hours before it broke. I will say other than the lack of durability it felt great. I have some arm problems
which this set up helped but it just didn't last long enough for me. I play with a lot of spin and hit fairly hard.
From: Joey, 4/12
Comments: String felt great and easy on the arm, but it started to fray after a couple hours and broke a
couple more hours of hitting later. Once it frays, it doesn't have the spin or pop that it did. I strung it at 55 lbs.
From: James, 4/12
Comments: Really nice alternative to natural gut. I had a Dunlop 200 4D Tour racquet strung with the
16G version
at 60 lbs and a newer racquet (same kind) strung with 17G version at 58 lbs. Both strings are very easy on the arm and
offer crisp
returns with good control. The 17G version has more power and better spin but less control than the 16G version as
strung. Both
strings move about (17G much more) and start fraying after about 2 months on but then seem to last for quite a while
after that.
Did not see much difference in durability between the 16G and 17G as both are shot after about 6 months (playing
twice weekly). I
play doubles (3.5-4.0 level).
From: Bert, 3/12
Comments: I was looking for a racquet to replace my Wilson K-Factor 6.1 95 18x20. I demo'd several
including the 2012 Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, Head Youtek IG Prestige MP, Boris Becker Delta Core Melbourne and the
Juice Pro. The Slazenger Pro Braided tops them all. The open 16x18 string pattern gave me great access to top-spin
and power.
Ball control and placement was also top notch. Kick, slice and flat serves were all amazing. Where the racquet REALLY
though, is at the net. The maneuverability of this racquet is almost telepathic. It's the perfect stick for the aggressive
all-court or
serve-n-volley player. This is truly an amazing no frills, get-the-job-done racquet! Definitely worth a demo for any
4.0+ player
who likes it at the net!
From: Chike, 3/12
Comments: This is a great string. I love the feel, it plays crisp, it has a good amount of power. A big step
up from
the Wilson NXT Tour 17 I have used. A superb string. Strung my
Wilson BLX Blade 98 at 60lbs.
From: Rory, 2/12
Comments: Great string with a lot of feel and bite on the ball .. Better than the NXT Tour 17 that I have
been using
as it feels crisper but not tough on the arm .. Tradeoff? Don't expect it to last more than 12 hours as far as usable life
From: Marv, 1/12
Comments: Very good in a full bed, but outrageously good in a hybrid. In a full bed, X1B 17 has many
qualities of
natural gut including power which is sometimes too much. However, when it is crossed with Black Code 17, it has all of
qualities I enjoy without the excess power that
can cause balls to sail long. Try it strung at 58 with the BC crosses strung at 55 and let er rip. You will be amazed out
how much
power you can drive the ball with without losing your control.
From: Anon, 1/12
Comments: An excellent string for as long as it lasts, seems to fray then notch in less within 3 weeks
then has to be
replaced prior to breaking. I can't afford to use it.
From: Anon, 12/11
Comments: Advantages of the X1 string is that it has a soft feel to it. I can feel the ball well and it has
potential and good pop. Disadvantages would be that it breaks easily, and I don't like entire string bed with X-One as it
feels like a
spring board. I also found it pricey. I like X-One in my crosses with Signum Pro Poly-Plasma on the mains and it works
great. I
went this route to get a little extra feel on the ball I felt I was missing with Signum Pro Poly-Plasma or Black code
strung the entire
way. X-One is not very durable so if you are a string breaker and don't string your own racquets I would not
recommend unless
you have very deep pockets. I am not what I would call a string breaker but I string 3 racquets at a time within 10 days
rotating all
racquets I will have to string at least one racquet again. I play around 3 days a week and am a 4.5 player.
From: David, 11/11
Comments: I agree with everyone else's reviews. This is an all around type string. I think it is similar to
natural gut
in terms of feel and touch.
From: Mikel, 10/11
Comments: This is an excellent string. There is tons of power, spin and control. But string starts to fray
after first
hour. Anyway, this string has become my string of choice. I use a Babolat Drive Z strung at 55 lbs.
From: Gennady, 10/11
Comments: I really love the Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 17 string. It's the best string I've used. I've recently
been able
to compare this string to NRG2 17. I have two Babolat AeroPro Cortex racquets; one is strung with NRG2 and the other
with X-one
Biphase 17. Both racquets are strung at 60 lbs. The X-one string is better in many ways. I don't hit with heavy topspin
and only
generate moderate racquet head speed, but I can definitely see that I have more spin potential with X-one. I also notice
that the
string gives more control and "effortless" power. I get better net clearance, good depth and I find it easier to move the
ball around
the court. It gives good feel at the net as well. Also, it's very arm friendly and I can hit with a lot more comfort. When
hitting with
NRG, I can feel a slight pain returning to my elbow. When comparing X-one Biphase 17 and NRG2 17, X-one is just a bit
better in
all categories. I play twice a week and the only thing that I don't like about X-One is its durability. Once it starts to fray,
it looses
some tension and the balls start to fly, a bit.
From: Glenn, 9/11
Comments: I love this string! It is very powerful and has a lot of comfort and
feel. It has more comfort and feel than power. But they are all evenly
spread out. I have a Head Youtek IG Speed MP 18x20 and I put these
strings on it because I am trying out Novak's setup as an experiment. I
even have his vibration dampener. These strings are great and I definitely recommend them. They play best around 57
lbs. Great
string! But it lacks spin. It has a low spin potential.
From: Anon, 9/11
Comments: Great string! I was a gut user all my tennis life (30 years) and this string is close as I found
yet. It is easy
on arm and spin and power are there. I use it in my Head Prestige Pro 600 and it is a dream. 3.0-5.5 players can take
advantage of
the playability of this string.
From: Mark, 9/11
Comments: I have a hybrid of Tecnfibre X-One Biphase and Red Code 17 g at 26 Kg and while I love it, I
have to say
that it breaks way too quickly. X-One Biphase starts fraying in 3 hours and breaks in 4-5. The Red Code shows no
signs of wear
whatsoever. I just came back from tennis camp, played about 18 hours and broke strings on all my racquets. If you
don't mind the
constant purchasing/restringing than you'll love everything about this string, but for me, not durable enough.
From: Adi, 8/11
Comments: I suspect that of all the strings listed on this site with customer feedback attached, the X-
One may have
generated the most comments and with good reason; this is a very good string! I have a little variety in my game and
whether I'm
hitting with slice or top-spin from the baseline, making an approach shot or at the net, this string offers an amazing
of power and control.

a bulk
order sealed packages of 40 feet. My question is: Will a reel last from 12 to 18 months without drying out? Or should I
buy more
than 10 sealed packages?
From: Ian. 6/11
(Ian, an X-One Biphase reel will not dry out. Gut strings would need to remain sealed, but this because X-One Biphase strings are made synthetic materials, they will last. -- TW Staff)
Comments: Great string. Provides good power, control, and spin. However, they will start to fray in 4
hours of game
play and will break within 20. Highly recommended if money and restringing won't be a problem.

Comments: I have to quote the post below by Rich because I could not write it any better: "I was an
advocate of the
Tecnifibre NRG 17g line. Well after trying this string I am switching. This string provides noticeably more power,
control,and spin.
The wear has been acceptable. It's a slightly higher price but well worth it." I just could not agree more after stringing it
up in my
Organix 10 at 55/52.
From: Keith. 5/11
Comments: I haven't used Tecnifibre for 15+ years; their older products
simply lost tension WAY too quickly for my liking, and I've always gone
with Gamma or Wilson multis since then. My stringer recommended this
product recently when I wanted to try something different, but my elbow
simply can't handle poly for any significant length of time to use any
of the myriad on new strings in that genre.
This string was nothing like the Tecnifibre I remember from years past.
This stuff is terrific: power, control, doesn't move around too much for
a 17ga, it wears well, quite impressive indeed. I may have just found a
new favorite brand of multi to play.

NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: Too crisp to be a real replacement for gut for me but it feels great to play with; good power
and all
spins are very easy to generate. Serves felt good, but control on groundstrokes for me wasn't as good as gut, power
wasn't too
bad either. Strung in a k factor tour 90 at 58lbs in the mains with pro hurricane in the crosses at 55lbs. Much easier to
string than
gut with none of the panic that accompanies it. Playing in damp or wet conditions doesn't seem to be as big a deal as
when using
gut either; in my part of the world I'd be stringing 3 times a week if I let my gut get wet and it's simply not practical nor
is it
financially possible. Gut is simply too expensive. If money was no object then I would be using 17g Babolat vs gut with
the pro
hurricane I use now, but until then, this will more than suffice.
From: Steven, Scotland, 03/11
Comments:Words cannot describe how great this string is! It's virtually a natural gut at the fraction of
the price! I'm
a hard hitting all court player so durability is an issue and I found that for a multifilament string it holds up quite nicely,
it can last
about twenty hours before I need to restring. It wasn't too cost effective as a full bed but once I strung it with the black
code on
the mains durability, feel, power, and spin were all there!
From: Earl, San Diego, CA, USA, 03/11
Comments: The best multifilament out there!! This string has a great balance of feel, spin, comfort,
control and
power. I quit using the NXT's and Babolat gut for this string. It's easy to string and the durability is good for a
multifilament. I
also appreciate it being easy on the body. If you like using a multifilament or gut...this is a must try!! Babolat Aero Pro

From: James, Tuscaloosa, AL, USA, 03/11
Comments: The best string I have ever played with. It really improved my weaknesses without harming

My game
simply got better! 4.0 Baseliner.
From: George, Boston, MA, USA, 02/11
Comments: Excellent string! At first I was a bit skeptical about switching from a poly to this
multifilament string. To
my surprise, it actually felt a lot better given the racquet I use. I found this racquet to have good power as well as
control. This
string also has more than average bite for a multi, producing good spin. The only downsides of this string is that on
hot days the
string can get a bit "mushy" and is not as crisp as a poly, but overall well worth the switch. 5.0 All around court player.

not trying them sooner. I hit the ball pretty flat and these strings were incredible. With minimal effort, I am able to
amazing power. While there is some loss of control, the feel, comfort and power are worth it.
From: Barrett, KY, USA, 12/10
Comments: Strung on a Head LM Radical MP @ 57#. Soft feel, but not as soft as Gamma Pro 17, which
IMO is a little
too soft. I like the blend of soft feel and crisp response. Good power and spin as well. I am a topspin baseliner with a
hard serve
and I like the ability this string gives to hit out from the baseline, hit side spin dancers, or paint lines and corners as
needed. Great
all around string.
From: Dave, Jersey Shore, NJ, 4.5. 8/10
Comments: X-One Biphase 17 is a great string. I strung it @ 63 lbs in my Liquidmetal Radical OS. It felt

:o) Two
thumbs up!
From: Anon. 5/10
Comments: It continues to change its tension and response over the days. Has lost much pop. I have to
give this
string thumbs down. I much prefer Wilson NXT or Gamma Asterisk over this string for a multifilament.
From: Nori, Queens, NY, USA. 5/10
Comments: It's true what another person said; I strung my Pure Storm Tour (98 sq in) at 55 lbs, and it
feels more
like 60-62 lbs. I was shocked; The string bed feels very firm. Shots made in the center feel crisp and fairly good (like
Live Wire
Pro), but shots made even little off center are fairly jarring. Not a huge fan at this tension. I will try a lower tension if I
ever try it
again. Correct tension is probably like 50 lbs on this racquet. Think I still like Wilson NXT 17 or Gamma Asterisk 17
better; but
maybe I would think different if I had the correct tension; who knows.

Comments: I really like this string and prefer it over any Wilson NXT or Babolat Xcel which IMO are

From: M.Darius, Bethesda, MD, USA. 4/10
Comments: This is the BEST STRING ON THE MARKET! PERIOD! You will not be disappointed in this
string. It offers
excellent control, feel, power when you need it, and I was very surprised at the amount of spin it generates! WOW!
However, you
must string it 5 to 6lbs LESS than you normally would string your racquet. I don't know why, but after I had my Volkl
power bridge
mid10 strung at 58lbs. It felt like 63lbs! I thought my stringer strung it wrong, so I had it re-strung again; SAME
PROBLEM! So I
strung it way low like pro player Marcos Bagdatis at 50lbs. Mains and 46lbs. at crosses. WOW! There's so much more
power and
control. This set-up feels like 58lbs to me. This string is so good specially for the price, it lasts very long too! Amazing!

Comments: Tecnifibre X-One feels and plays like gut at a fraction of the cost. Doesn't last long enough
for a full
set, but I strung these as the cross with MSV focus hex in the main and it is the best hybrid set I have ever played with.
You get
the spin and control of the MSV with the power and feel of the X-One. If I could afford to restring after each session, I
would go
all X-One, but this is the best alternative for the average player.

they don't last long, but for those with their own stringer, they are worth it. Best feel out there of any non-gut in my
From: Darin, Richland, WA, USA, 01/10
Comments: Bought for my daughter who plays varsity in high school and strings her own racquets.
These strings
are expensive but the control/comfort/spin are almost worth it. They were not as durable as I hoped, lasting only 7
days (2 hours
per days on the courts). My daughter hits with above average topspin. We are looking for something that plays as well
and is more
durable though.

Comments: This has been my favorite string I have used. I play a Yonex RDS 003 and feel so much more
about my game. Can't wait to start to tweak the tensions and see what else I can get out of these bad boys.
From: Matt, Missouri, USA. 10/09
Comments: Agreed, don't pay attention to the negative comments. People need to pay more attention to
construction of a string and compare it to similar strings. This string seems to work best in mid-size frames that are on
the stiffer
side like a Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 classic because it opens up the pattern a little more. The string is best comparable to
other multi
fils like Wilson NXT and NGR. Personally I'll take this string over NXT because its a little firmer feel on ground strokes
but also has
softer touch on more delicate shots as well as good ball pocketing without TOO SOFT a feel.
From: Joe 4.5, Woodstock, Georgia USA 08/09
Comments: Switched to an all X- one biphase from a hybrid of Big Banger and Xone.
The spin is incredible and so is the power. Felt that Big banger dampened the racquet and added nothing to my game.
This string
brought my racquet to life. It does not last as long as the hybrid, but whats important- winning matches or string cost?
From: HD, Abudhabi, UAE 08/09
Comments: It feels like this string grabs the ball and throws it over the net. It is immediately noticeable. I
surprised at the amount of work I got on an American twist serve. Extremely crisp. I will have to wait to see if it is elbow
like the TGV.

From the start a big, big difference. Immediately, I felt the advantages of using this strings. Better feel, better control,
topspin, more power & spin on your serves, holds the tension well & at the same time soft on your arm. Actually, with
these new
strings, my new racquet became alive. The only thing I didn't like is the durability. I have been playing with the same
strings for
about three weeks now, but by the way they look, it seems that they only have one to two weeks more to go. So I
decided to put
on string savers on my next Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 17 string red that I have already bought for my new string job.
Go ahead &
try this strings, you won't be disappointed by the overall performance & actually it may improve the level of your game.
From: Luis, Edmonton, AB, Canada.
Comments: This string is very GOOD as a hybrid, you just have to use the right poly on the mains
otherwise it
crashes fast. I used a poly string as a hybrid and almost every shot I hit went in..you'll have to figure out the
combination can't let
the secret out!
From: Janae, USA. 04/09
Comments: Great feel, power, comfort, durability, everything. My current string and it plays pretty darn
Strung it of my Kfactor KSix-One Tour 90 at 55lbs.
From: Jason, Va, USA. 2/09
Comments:This is my first experience with Tecnifibre (after reading about it on TW, had to try it out).
Strung on my
Prince and Wilson rackets, both in hybrid setup: Tecnifibre X-One 17g (57lb) main with poly strings 17g (54lb) cross.
Played on
outdoor public courts, it's very cold. The X-One made the setup playable, good power, top spin and slice, good bite.
Been playing
for 2 months now, no signs of wear, no shredding, yes, the strings are moving now on my Prince racket, but no
movement on my
Wilson Kfactor. Is X-One available in a reel? I'm going to try more Tecnifibre strings in my hybrid setup now.
From: Jami, Walnut Creek, CA, 12/08
Comments: String doesn't last if you hybrid with Luxilon Rough. lasted like a week or so.
From: mathew, California, US. 11/08
Comments: An amazing string. Exceptional, with unsurpassed power. Control is outstanding despite all
that power
and pop. The consistency from shot to shot is really commendable. However, I think quite different from other
reviewers. It is not
as comfortable as other quality strings. NRG2, 515 are clearly more comfortable. They're more gummy. X-One is wiry,
playing. This also affects feel/touch. Again, compared to NRG2 and 515, the touch is just not there. Not a very good
string for
aggressive net play (basic volleys are good though). Strings don't move much, even though i'm taking really big cuts at
the ball.
Tension retention is not as good as NRG2 or 515. Again this is understandable, considering the power characteristics.
Price is
good. I tried VS Team 17 and X-One 17 blows it out of the water in terms of power and control. Spin is quite good as
well, much
better than VS but only almost as good as 515 and then NRG2. I'd say this is the best string for an aggressive baseliner,
occasionally goes in for a volley putaway or a smash. It isn't very suitable for a serve and volley game, the touch and
feel are
insufficient. I'd probably say that NRG2 17 is the best overall string on the market. If you simply want power along with
very high
control, X-One may be the best there is, even better than many guts..who knows.
I used it on a Volkl C-10 Pro Tour (93, 353 grams, 61 flex) @ ~58-59 lbs. Used it for 1.5 months exclusively, playing
everyday; no breakage, not much fraying. Only in the last week it lost more tension and started feeling a bit subdued.
Might buy
again and install it as a cross, with gut on the mains. I think I'll have the best power, control, tension retention, touch,
combination available on the market then.
From: Memed, Istanbul, Turkey. 11/08
Comments: This string feels great in my Tecnifibre T-Fight 295. I have been experimenting with lots of
combinations and I stumbled upon an interesting, long lasting set-up. I put this Biphase 17 in the crosses and Gamma
Asterisk 17
in the mains-both multi-filament strings. Seriously, I've had these strings in for almost a month and the sweet spot is
still very
responsive, yet forgiving at the same time. I'm 27, hit the ball pretty hard and with lots of topspin, the Gamma in the
doesn't even have notches in them yet; weird. Usually I have the racket on my stringer by now for a new set, but they
just won't
wear out. It's like one of the packages is marked wrong and I really have polyester strings in! The Gamma is a good
string, but I
will go back to my favorite Klip Venom in the mains to compare again. I love stringing and experimenting with all the
cool tennis
stuff out there; I've had the bug for over a year now and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the technical side of
sports to
buy a stringer, it's easy and pays for itself in the long run.
From: Joplin, Missing Monterey Bay, USA. 11/08
Comments: The best multi string out on the market. It's amazing how much power I got out of it and the
is exceptional. It lasted me three months and is now showing slight signs of wear.
From: Rasheeq, USA. 9/08
Comments: This string is simply the best synthetic on the market today. It has the feel of natural gut,
but with a
little more power and durability.
From: John, Suitland, Maryland, USA. 8/08
Comments: Ok here is the deal, I use Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 17 string as a hybrid with Babolat Pro
Tour 16, and I have to say that it's simply amazing. Every shot in my arsenal feels crisp thanks to the Tecnifibre strings
as crosses
and I can notice how much spin I get with the Babolat Pro Hurricane Tour. The only thing that I notice is that because I
am a big
hitter that the Tecnifibre strings are starting to fray a little bit.
From: Tyler, WA, USA. 8/08
Comments: I normally use a hybrid Luxilon Alu Rough with Wilson NXT crosses, but I tried out a full set
of the X-
One 17s while I was waiting for a new order of strings to arrive. The X-One offered great feel and decent spin, but it
wasn't as
powerful as my normal setup. I'll consider trying them out as crosses with a slightly lower tension. Babolat AeroPro
Drive, X-One
17 @ 61 lbs.
From: James, Emeryville, CA, USA. 7/08
Comments: Great string. String it in the mains, with Kirschbaum Pro Line II in the crosses. I'm still
with tensions, but I believe this will be my permanent set up. Nice power feel & comfort. Currently at 58/52 in a Yonex
am a 3.0 senior all courter.
From: Stewart, Decatur, GA, USA. 7/08
Comments: I only read the description of this (and many other) strings without reading any feedback. I
ordered it
on a whim and told them to string it a little more toward the power end. From the first time I played with this string, I
felt I had a
larger sweet spot, I had more "feel" than with any other string- spin, power, AND control were all there. My league
members even
remarked how well I was playing. I've never been happier with any other string- ever! Highly recommended!
From: Lindsay, Oklahoma City, OK, USA. 7/08
Comments: I have tried a variety of multis during the past couple of years as well as some multi/co-poly
and I keep coming back to this string. For me, they're the best non-gut synthetic. I get no additional spin, control and
power from
a poly than I do playing X-One. My only "complaints" and the reasons why I've experimented with other strings, are
durability and
the strings move around a lot. But, because it does everything else so well, I'll continue to use this string as long as
makes it. My set-up is a Babolat Pure Storm Tour at 56 lbs all around. I've used the red X-One before in this racquet,
and it looks
really nice.
From: Adam, Southern California, USA. 3/08
Comments: This was the worst string I have ever used in my life. Every ball that I hit felt dead, and every
time I tried
to hit topspin, the ball went dead on me. If I were you I would not pick this string.
From: Anh, Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. 3/08
Comments: I used this as a cross string with Luxilon in the mains. It felt great, but it was totally trashed
and broke
after a only a few hours.
From: Matt, Chicago. 2/08
Comments: Great string, but fairly bad durability.
From: Andrew, Ringgold, GA, USA. 2/08
Comments: The strings were great; I got a lot of pop and control.
From: Mike, CA, LA, USA, 11/07
Comments: Compared to the new Wilson K Gut Pro, this string is fantastic. Both have a tacky feel when
strung. Nothing I've tried surpasses the soft, playable feel of X-One Biphase. The more expensive K-gut Pro is crisp,
but the soft
controlled feel of X-one is superior. I have 16-gauge X-One on my 18X20 Tecnifibre 320. I found no durability issues
using the
thicker gauge, but I used 17G on my Liquidmetal Rave mains with ALU Rough 16L on the crosses. Great for a 16x19
stringbed for
power and control if you don't mind the softer mains being cut by the stiffer poly crosses. I don't know how a hybrid
bed would
work with the X-One strings unless you use in the crosses. They are very soft and don't hold up in humidity or moist
(like gut).
X-One Biphase compares favorably with playable Gamma strings like Live Wire 17 and Gamma Professional. All of these
suffer in durability if you hit with heavy spin. Fraying is evident after just one play with 17 gauge versions. If you're a
breaker, I recommend 16G X-One over all other brands. If you desire the extra feel from 17G, well the Tecnifibre X-one
strings are worth the price at 75% the cost of Gamma Professional or K Gut Pro.
From: Jim, Montgomery, TX, USA. 10/07
Comments: I love the way the ball feels when I hit using this string. I believe it is perfect for my Wilson
nTour 95sq
(16x20) strung at 60lbs. I've noticed much more spin on my shots and the part I love the most is the way volley's go
where I
direct/want them to go like I've never experienced before. It also provides nice power and control blend in this low-
powered racquet. I've also noticed that I have more control on my lobs when opponents approach the net. I highly
this to any player looking for great feel, control, desire for topspin, and laser feel on volleys. I am a 3.5 player
enough at the net, but working toward being an all court player.
From: Mike, Arlington, VA, USA, 09/07
Comments: Every now and then I get this great idea that I should try another string. I catch myself
reading reviews
or comments and get curious. But every time I go back to Tecnifibre X-One Biphase...I wonder why I strayed away. X-
One hits
with the right combination of feel, control, power and consistency for me. Some people say it goes dead after a short
amount of
time. To me it plays better and better right up to the breaking point. Only thing I have against the string is that it
plays a little
stiff the first hour or two. Gamma Professional is the only string I have played with that might play a bit better...but
the cost, I'll stay with X-one.
From: Rondall, Glen Burnie, MD, USA. 8/07
Comments:Only problem with this string is that it isn't sold in a half set. Have to buy a whole set when
using a
hybrid. I like the power and pop with this string but with an 18x20 string pattern I could not generate much spin. I
recommend this as a good cross with Babolat hurricane or Wilson Enduro in the mains. This string also starts to fray
within 2
hours of play.
From: Dave, Lajolla, CA, USA, 08/07
Comments: I tried this because of all the good feedback that there was, before this I had been using the
POWER 17, this string had much more control, and somewhat more spin. Overall I would recommend this string.
From: Vincent, USA, 06/07
Comments: These are the best strings ever. I play with Ashaway Kevlar 17 gauge tension 57 on mains
and changed
from synthetic gut to Tecnifiber x-one gauge 17 on crosses. The spin, control, and power at tension 61 on head
radical are just amazing. This is the best string in the world right now. Period. No arguments.
From: Hormaz, Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, 04/07
Comments: I tried these strings with some new Volkl V1 DNX frames. The 17-gauge string or the frame
triggered some very severe tennis elbow. I have always used Tecnifibre strings in the past and used the NRG2 16 gauge
with great
success. It's been a year and after taking 6 months off my elbow is back to normal. I am going to go back to the NRG2
with the
same frame that caused the elbow problems and see if the elbow holds up.
From: John, Temecula, CA, USA, 03/07
Comments: Great string. I love it so much. The only thing I didn�t like is the durability. So I decided to
put on
string savers and try the 16. Must try.
From: Anon, 12/06
Comments: Without a doubt the best synthetic string on the market (and better than some natural gut).
I'm a
racquet stringer and use to recommend Wilson NXT 17 to my serious playing customers. In the last year from my
they're all playing with Tecnifibre x-one Biphase 17 now and everybody's happy.
From: John, USA. 11/06
Comments: Probably the best string I�ve used this far along with the Gamma TNT Fusion 19g. Initial
feel was
but after a few hours of hitting it felt great. The only problem with this string was that it didn't last me very long so I
don't think
I�ll use it again due to the price. And just a random bit of info, the strings broke on the crosses for me.
From: Lawrence, Placentia, CA 08/06
Comments: This is by far the best, most "gut-like" string I�ve ever played with. I
played with BDE gut Rally and was happy. In the past I have also tried many that claim
"gut-like" feel like Gamma Pro XP, Laserfiber Pro, etc...but nothing seems to come close. I
would say that this string even felt better than my favorite natural gut as far as feel, control
and power. I hybrid with Luxilon TI-MO as I did in my gut string. Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 17
String just feels better and my control is now awesome.
From: KC, California, USA 07/05
Comments: The best multifilament around for the first 15-20 hours, after which
the string becomes slow to react and I feel like I need to push the ball off the strings in
mid-stroke. I play a ProStaff 5.0 at 62lbs. Strings typically do not break until about a 30-40
hours and when it does it�s always a cross.
From: Nekki, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 04/05
Comments: Great string. More control than NRG2 and better feel. Better than gut
in that you don�t have to worry about the damp. This string is easier to string than gut. Great
string. The best multi out there for feel, great job Tecnifibre.
From: Bill, Alberta, Canada. 10/04
Comments: This string offers great feel, power and control. At half the price of
gut with similar characteristics-it's a great buy. String durability suffers with the thinner
gauge lasting about a month before fraying. I'm an all court 5.5 player who strings his Head
Mid-plus XL i.Prestige between 56 and 62lbs.
From: Damion, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 08/04
Comments: The 16g version is just as good. I would say that the string is stiff/
yet soft when you hit hard. Strings do lock in place.
Durability is extremely better than Tecnifibre NRG2. I play two times per week and have had
this string for almost two months. I'm almost tempted to say that it�s worth the price.
From: mackadilly, Talk Tennis. 4/04
Comments: I thought this string was really nice. Gummy like the original
Tecnifibre 515, so the strings locked in place, responsive, powerful enough, great soft feel,
big sweetspot, great spin. Suspect the durability might be better than Tecnifibre NRG2,
especially since the strings aren�t sliding around at my usual tension. Tension maintenance
appears to be much better. I did a pre-stretch when stringing.
From: NoBadMojo, aka Ameliaislanded, Talk Tennis. 4/04
Comments: I got a free sample set with the purchase of a racquet and I didn't
like them at all. I played one set and cut them out. Even though the strings were strung at 2
pounds under the highest recommended tension, I couldn't generate spin or slice. They
produced power and no control. If you decide to try them, I would recommend one racquet at
a time.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Some of the thinks you linked Deewe I agree with, some not so much.
Swlimming: There are bigger design limitation of the game here than swimming I'm afraid. No planet feels big enough to give you that planetary feeling. The best you can get out of most of them is the general theme of the planet. Overal however pretty much every planet feels rather confined, even on dry land.
Third party addons: Are not really that big a priority when things like guild banks and improved guild management functionality is missing.
Minigames: Could be included and make cantinas a bit more lively and a reason to hang around. There is no reason to visit a cantina at this point.
Dual spec: See what I wrote above about the game missing basic modern MMO functionality.
Day/night circle: And general lifeless environment, even on big cities. The whole world seems static, like you're running inside a pretty picture or a painting and not a virtual world.
Non humanoid races: Something to look forward to, perhaps in a content expansion. At least the interesting story promotes alt-itis more than any other MMO I've played.
Planetary housing: imho not that important since you have your own spaceship. Too bad you can't decorate it.
Animal based pet classes: imho again, not important enough, unless you're talking about little companion pets. In any case, I've never been much of a critter collector. The companions and the general crafting system works rather well, although the chance of discovery of improved recipes is greately nerfed at level 50.
Complex crafting system: I think that the crafting system is diverce enough and simple enough to make it enjoyable. I have more issues with the RNG involved with the PvP gear upgrade than with what is produced via the crafting system.
Mounts: There is a good diversion of mechanical mounts. I don't know how a non mechanical mount would fit in in terms of speed comparison with the machanical equivalents. As for flying mounts, the majority of planets are small and just give the illusion of size due to the pathing restrains. If you remove that, you just expose the lack of the game's size.
PvP arenas: Good god I sure hope not. Of course I'm more of a patron of the open world PvP and arenas are an anathema to that. Open PvP means group PvP, while arenas are for individuals and related specs as a general rule of thump.
Collision detection: I very much doubt the engine can support it. For me it's not a good or a bad thing, it's more of a there is or there isn't, just like the instanced vs open world design.
Appearance tabs, barbers etc: A functionality that could eventually appear.
Fishing: In Tattoine (j/k). Never saw the novelty of it and I very much doubt a good portion of people would bother with it if the developers wouldn't strap on the activity a bazzilion achievement.
Ingame voice chat: Not necessary, third party tools are adequate and in most cases offer better sound quality.
3 faction RvR: Are you sure we're playing the same game? Who's going to be the third faction, the Mantalorians? I could see how this game would work if you were thrown in this world with no previous alegiences and you chose your path, but right now a third faction that can stand toe in toe with the other two seem improbable.
World PvP: There is an attempt at Ilum, unfortunately it pays better to let the opposite side capture your points so you can recapture them than actually fight to defend them. The whole setup smells of WARhammer and the reasons the world PvP didn't work that well there as well.
You mentioned more stuff, but they were duplicates of things you already mentioned so I skipped them.
Personally I think it's quite a good game if you expect to experience a KOTOR storyline and have a couple of your friends join you on rare occassions. At this point SW:TOR is not a "world" of star wars, but it gives more the feeling that you're walking in a Hollywood wooden set than an alternate vitrual universe.
Another over hyped game and a review which hides the obvious faults of SWOTR and present MMORPG copycatting.
I have more long term replayability in Battlefield 3 or a good stand alone RPG then in any recent and incoming MMORPG.

Yes, crafting is fun. For once in an MMO I'm not bored to tears by it and every character I play utilized it to the highest degree.
Then DONT craft, it's obviously not your thing!!!
Crafting should be a dedicated class for people who ENJOY it & are dedicated to
providing a service to other players, crafting was ruined by the likes of WoW as a
crappy cookie cutter after thought to bloat the game with something else to do.
Stick to PVE or PVP if you don't like crafting, it's only the same as the whinners
who cry they get ganked whilst questing, because they join PVP servers!
Same dance, differnet song.

Reviewer is being too nice. The "Asthetics" need to be droped to a 1. The character models, even the aliens, look like f****** buzz light year. This is the worst BioWare game to date. Forget the attetion to detail, interesting level design, lively light textures and colors that you are used to with MassEffect or Dragon Age. Welcome to a world of mud and what appear to be randomly genorated levels that consist of halls and giant f****** rooms. Even AnarchyOnline's "random level genorator" genorates better levels than whatever level designer actually took time to make something this bad. The combat system is just as bland and boring as any other MMORPG out there, hard to knock it too hard here because it's neither good nor bad, just blah or bleh. The story lines are garbage, and they MAKE you sit though them, yes, MAKE you listen to the crappy dialogue between Sherif Woody and Buzz Light Year.
Instead of buying this game, pop in ToyStory, turn your colors almost off on your tv, and play a StarWars sound track and you will have the basic idea except the ToyStory story line is a little more interesting.

LOL, nearly spat my coffee on the Keyboard.
Crafting should never be a dedicated class or function of a MMO. Its not a end of a means, its a means to an end.
I do support the concept of having it give good or great rewards if you take the time to work with it, and for those of my friends that have been working with the crafting system of swtor have gained really nice upgrades while leveling.
The asthetics will only be an issue if you think the game should have been done with realistic graphics, in which case your an idiot because you don't understand that realistic graphics look worse the longer a game is out. Simple is cleaner.
I found most of the storylines to be fun and enjoyable, and most people seem to agree that are playing the game. I do admit that the game does not really work in a solid end game experience though, which may end up being its down fall. For right now the game highly promotes alts to a degree no other mmo has.
I will never understand the gripes about people needing to be able to wit in chairs and have massive water areas to swim in. It doesn't serve a purpose, you know the last time I swam in a large pool of water? 2 years ago. Why does this needed to be included in swtor or the game is crap? day night cycles? hey I need to know what the server thinks its day or night... cus that matters.
It does have innovation, just not as much and in an area that people on this site think it should be in or as much. I couldn't go back to a MMO with text box questing.

Right now though SWToR is eating up all my time, hehehe. Just too much fun.
Yeah, I typically run a couple of subs as well. The Old Republic simply has been a lot of fun and consuming my time.
Funny enough I thought that the simplied art style would bother me. I have been pleasantly surprised at how much the art style allows you to focus more on the story and its environment.
Crafting in most games really blows. In The Old Republic crafting has been pretty good for me at least (Biochem & Cyber).
I already rated this game in another thread. (6/10)
And i am really interested what will happen on 20.01.2012 where the already paid subscription will end.
Then we will see the reail rating of all the subscribers.

FYI there is no already paid subscription it is 30 days of "free play" which is standard in MMO's.
My guess is that it's the 7+ crowd that stays, like in any other MMO whether it's P2P or F2P. Why would someone rate a game a 4 and then stay with it?

The only good part of swtor is the voice over. The problem is that Bioware has probably put too much money and effort into it, and not into the rest of the game.
And while I like voice over, I'm on my 2nd character now, and I now tend to skip the non-class quest conversation. The other quests are just repeats.
I now have 8 characters and have yet to skip ANY of the VO content. I am sure that some of it might get a little boring sooner or later, but it beats skipping ALL of the Quest Text like I normally
The reason why I stay playing, is because it's a star war game. Most part are pretty basics:
- quests are simple: kill x or collect x.
Seriously, how many games do not do this? There are only so many types of quests you can do and yes, they get recycled, just like every other game out there. At least in this one you get a choice for WHY you are doing the quests and in many missions I have done now, your decision of why or how changes the actual parameters of the missions. Pretty cool in my opinion. Sure beats "Yes, I will do it" or "No, not this time" like almost every other game out there.
- space combat is a mini solo game.
Loving the Space Game. Nice change of pace when you just don't have time for a normal quest OR are waiting on something (crafting). I do admit I hope they listen to the players and add a more in-depth Space Simulator later on, but I really hope they keep the system they have as well.
- crafting is way too simple
I get a variety of crafting missions, some of which are not the ones I need to do for the recipe I have, since they are randomized. I have a chance for critical succes and failure. I get to deconstruct items to recover some materials AND have a chance for learning a better way to craft that item (more advanced gear). Overall much better than gathering 10 things to use to craft 5 things to use to craft the one thing I need for ONE part of a recipe for my actual gear recipe. MUCH BETTER IN MY OPINION.
- many many many bugs. None of the bugs I reported during beta are yet to be fixed.
Most times I do not like calling people a liar, but I am sorely tempted here.
- graphics are basics
The basic graphics have been known for about a year now. If they bother you this much still then you probably never should have bought the game. Just a thought.
- no long term end game
This game has just as much endgame as most games out for years now. In fact more than most. It also has TONS more than most games when are released. But I guess if you do not want to do flashpoints on "Hard Mode" or worse, Raids, PvP, questing, or crafting at end game than you might be right.
- ... and many more, the list is simple too long
Just trying to be a Devil's Advocate here. In RED above.
Well, I'm glad you resisted the temptation to call him a liar on the bugginess, because this is the buggiest launch I've played in some time. Some are the same obvious bugs you see every single time you play, while others are new and associated with content you are just reaching for the first time. For the most part, they are minor bugs, but many are so obvious that it's clear they just haven't been fixed because they are too far down the priority list of bug fixes to have been worked on yet. (I'm thinking that list is pretty long).
I think you and I have VERY different definitions of a buggy launch. I have yet to not be able to play the game when I wanted too (excluding times they were patching or conducting maintenance of course), nor have I had a single mission that I could not complete. I will admit that there have been bugs, but they just have not risen to the same level as most other games released in the last few years.
Also, what are you talking about regarding quests? I have never had my choices effect the details of a quest or the requirements. Your class can effect a few of the quests that are shared with other classes. You can end up having to do an additional quest if your light side/ dark side choice means you haven't satisfied a quest giver, but the story doesn't branch and the quests don't change based on your dialogue.
Just to give one example here, I ran into a mission with one toon that I was given the choice of destroying a facility OR killing the scientists running it (obvious lightside / darkside thinking here). On that toon I decided to kill the scientists and found it rather fun, but short. On another toon I decided to destroy the facilty and that ended up being a long and more involved quest.
On my Imperial Agent Operative, I routinely tell the Sith to go stuff it, but they keep entrusting me with their most sensative missions. I'll get an occassional bit of dialogue scolding me for being too concerned about civilian lives, but even fighting the Empire every step of the way as a Light Side Imperial, nothing has played out any different due to my choices, aside from the occassional "well, you failed this, so go do that" additional quest step.
Yep, the WHY you are doing a quest as I talked about earlier. Nice to have that in this game. So much better than just "Yes or No", though you either do not agree or just don't get it.
The problem(s) with crafting are that it's far too dependant on the RNG (Random Number Generator), whether it be Reverse Engineering to try to get the blue (and then purple) schematic, or hoping for exceptional gear, it's all about the RNG. If you are lucky, you may make a profit, if not, you will go broke. Also, the economy is a mess because crafting was never balanced with the economy in mind. Sometime's you are gates by "common" materials that end up being too rare in practice, which boosts market prices for those materials. The rare and epic materials are so rare, that whether you send your companions on missions, or buy them on the market, you will never get them at a price that allows a profit, except for the rare RNG blessed exceptional results. (A lot of times, there are NPC sold alternatives for things, either straight cash, commendation based or based on other currencies, which end up capping the price you can charge even for the better wares you manage to produce).
As I said earlier, I just don't have a problem here. I think that the difference might be that I realize crafting is meant to be a money sink with the possibility of making a profit, not a guarantee. The RNG conributes to this. I also have NEVER run into a problem getting "common" items. Heck, even the "rare" items seem to drop pretty regularly.
The results are a mess, with some crafted goods flooding the market and forcing people to sell at 70% of the automatically recommended prices (which already are too low to produce profit), other items are far too rare, because most crafters after getting repeatedly burned just stop trying to sell certain items. You'd think scarcity would raise prices and profits, but the resistance vs. price levels that are able to produce profits are so high that you just can't sell enough for things to balance out.
Complaining about economy in a game that is less than a month old? A little early don't you think? Shoot, we haven't even have enough time for the level 50s to start driving up inflation yet.
Most people just don't have the money to spend. The cash sinks are so severe that most people who keep pace with their skills and obtain or upgrade "mounts" when able to just don't have enough cash to support the economy. Nerfing slicing made things worse, not better, because that money not only could help subsidize crafters, but it was a major source of disposable income for people who don't craft to use to buy crafted goods.
On all my toons but one, I have managed to keep well ahead of the curve on the money situation through MODERATE crafting. Yes, that means my level 30 toons are not 400 in all of the crew skills yet, oh well. As for slicing, it was overpowered to begin with. I admit they went to little to heavy on nerfing it (in my opinion) but being able to make a 500% profit when you skill is only 120 was rediculous.
Don't get me started on Modifiable Items. Cool idea on paper, but the economy needed to be balanced around it, which didn't happen. They should have just given players what they wanted, either transferable skins or an appearance tab, rather than insisting on doing it their way, which has just created a mess in the player driven economy.
Again you are complaining about the economy of a game that is less than a month old. Too early. Especially since I manage to keep my orange items fully slotted with blue enhancements WITHOUT cutting into my available training cash or crafting funds. It really is rather easy to do.
In RED again.
"If half of what you tell me is a lie, how can I believe any of it?"
Let's watch the baiting guys. Thanks.
Nice review, best MMORPG I've played since 2006, loving this game and having a blast playing with friends.
an upgraded wow? yet it has none of the features wow has, the combat is boring and NO WHERE near as good as wows and the boss fights are simple and lame. this game is a big let down it brings NOTHING new to the mmo world. GW2 will be something worth playing, this crap is a wanna be wow with light sabers

You know, I was listening to a guild mate say almost this exact stuff last night on vent. Followed about a half hour later with how the boss in this one flashpoint kept wiping thier party and how the game sucked cause it was lame.
I might actually believe these comments if it wasn't so far from the truth it isn't funny.
Anyway, great review. Its nice to see you point out the facts of the game, good and bad, and judge it based on its merits instead of the hype for a change. Well done.
(DISCLAIMER - The use of the word YOU in the above post is not directed at any one person in particular, but towards those who fall into the category itself - there is no personal attack here, neither intentional nor implied.)

Absolute BS, even the early flashpoint in The Old Republic have a ton of adds couple with large movement requirements for boss. Interrupts and proper CC are required for later ones as well. You have not even played the game most likely. your comments simply expose someone with a lack of knowledge of the game.
i unsubbed as well. got to like lvl 25 and was bored.

The first subscriptions are not charged until 1/20. So saying you unsubbed rofl. You did not have to enter you cc info, all you had to do to get you 30 free days was to enter your code. Calling you out.
oh I did unsub, since I did enter my cc info, so at least I will not get charged on 1/20 for a game I dont like.
SWoWTOR: Knights of the Old World of Warcraft. Canceled my subscription; still waiting on an MMO that doesn't have the same copy/paste sandwich combat that has plagued this genre for years.
When all is said and done I doubt there will be end-game content of any value/replayability. I don't give this game long (as in server pops will dive sometime next year Edit - sometime towards the end of this year, actually). Not sure how far games can get that don't add revolutionary and unique features to game genres...
Why didn't the review cover that high resolution graphics are available for cut scences only?
I think I've figured it out; the reviewer has been reading the "Top X of 2011" lists too much in recent weeks and is grading on a scale where 1 = Best! So he's actually giving TOR a 1.3/10
I really like this game and am enjoying it immensly... but innovation? Not really, basically Bioware has taken everything they learnt from Mass Effect and put it with MMOs, there is nothing really new here, it is all old stuff.
Ironically it is the old stuff that makes it so good.

The saxophone lynchpin of the James Brown band, Maceo Parker was the featured horn on such JB classics as Papa's Gotta A Brand New Bag and I Got You (I Feel Good). In May 1970, Maceo and his brother Melvin, dissatisfied with the lack of independent recognition achieved within the Brown band, decided to hit out on their own. Taking with them the majority of James' then band (a few others had left already including St Clair Pinckney, Sweet Charles Sherrell, Marva Whitney and Fred Wesley), Maceo formed his own aggregation - the appropriately-named Maceo & All The King's Men. Their first album was released on House Of The Fox Records and (also appropriately enough) titled Doing Their Own Thing. Two singles were released from that album - Got To Getcha and Funky Women. Their second album Funky Music Machine - was recorded for Nashville's Excello label in late 1971 and released the following year. A groovy, dance floor affair of funky stuff, melodic jazz and soft rock it failed to garner the success it so obviously deserved (different stories blame a variety of business or personal problems). The band broke up in May '72 and the members rejoined James Brown's new band The JBs (which included such youngbloods as Phelps and Bootsy Collins, recruited while the rest of the band were "doing their own thang"). Maceo went on to play in the various George Clinton P-Funkster groups and recently cut a new album - Southern Exposure - in the company of Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley, a couple of The Meters and The Rebirth Brass Band. Funky Music Machine captures those early steps towards the musician's own identity.

PRICE-Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother returned to the loving arms of his Father in Heaven after an extended illness on June 14, 2011 in Price, Utah. He was born April 27, 1924 to Marion William and Helen (Nellie) Dick Wheeler in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. He married his sweetheart, Phyllis Keele on May 30, 1948 in Price, Utah. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple.
Claude was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints, served in various callings: bishopric, ward clerk, home teacher, and temple worker. He was a member of the U.M.W.A., working as an electrician/mechanic for more than 30 years in local mines. He was a successful business entrepreneur.Claude served honorably in the United States Navy during World War II.
He was a loving husband and father; his greatest joy in life was his family and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He enjoyed working, hunting, and fishing with his family. He always had a can-do attitude. He built his own home and mountain cabin.
He is survived by his wife, Phyllis Keele Wheeler, children: Claude (April) Wheeler Jr., of Herriman, Utah, Debra Libby, of Ely, England, Linda (Jack) Stoyanoff, of Huntington, Utah, Scott (Maureen) Wheeler, of Price, Utah, Mary Wheeler, of Eugene, Ore., Lanett Draper, of Ashland, Ore., sister, Isobell Kelly, of California, sister-in-law, Esther Wheeler, of Price, Utah, 21 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Marion and Nellie Wheeler, son, Kevin Wheeler, granddaughter, Jamyee Callor, brother Marion Wheeler, brother-in-law Gill Kelly.
Claude left behind a legacy of love for his family and a strong testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a man of integrity, honor and believed in working hard. He will be greatly missed by family and friends.
The family would like to thank Beehive Homes, Castleview Hospital and Pinnacle Nursing and Rehab for their loving care.
Funeral services were held Monday, June 20, 2011 at 11 a.m. at the Price LDS 3rd Ward Chapel (303 West 500 South). A viewing was held Sunday, June 19, 2011 from 6-7:30 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary (680 East 100 South - Price, Utah) and on Monday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to services at the church. Interment was in the Price City Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Claude at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Climate Change and Discounting the Future: A Guide for the Perplexed
David A. Weisbach
University of Chicago - Law School; Center for Robust Decisionmaking on Climate & Energy Policy (RDCEP)
Cass R. Sunstein
Harvard Law School; Harvard University - Harvard Kennedy School (HKS)
August 12, 2008
Reg-Markets Center Working Paper No. 08-19
Harvard Public Law Working Paper No. 08-20
Harvard Law School Program on Risk Regulation Research Paper No. 08-12
Some of the most important disagreements about how aggressively to respond to the threat of climate change turn on the choice of the discount rate. A high discount rate implies relatively modest and slow reductions; a low discount rate implies immediate and dramatic action. The debate between the two sides reflects a disagreement between the positivists, who argue for a market rate, and the ethicists, who urge that the positivist approach violates the duty of the present to the future. We argue that the positivists are largely right, and that the question of discounting should be separated from the question of the ethical duties of the present. Discounting is a means of taking account of opportunity costs, and a refusal to discount may well hurt, rather than help, future generations. Nonetheless, it is also possible that cost-benefit analysis with discounting will impose excessive harms on future generations. If so, the proper response is to make investments that will help those generations, not to refuse to discount. We also explore several questions on which the ethicists' legitimate objections require qualification of the positivists' arguments, justifying a low discount rate for climate change policy.

Women's College Admits Men, Gender-Segregates Classes, Pisses Off Everyone
In sleepy Raleigh, North Carolina sits Peace College—not a hippie school, as you would suspect, but a women's college, which is basically the same thing. But not for long! Peace has announced plans to let dudes attends. But, as a compromise, they will remain segregated in classes. Way to satisfy no one at all!
Inside Higher Ed reports that for what appear to be purely pseudoscientific reasons, Peace College says that after becoming co-ed it will "offer select single-gender courses in targeted disciplines where research shows that women and men learn differently and that each benefit from a single-gender classroom." Which is, like, illegal, according to many quoted experts! To recap: students and alumni are outraged about the school going co-ed; and, on top of that, the school has plainly stated its plans to violate Title IX. Don't worry, everyone, this is all very simple:
While the announcement referred to "single-gender courses," [Peace president Debra] Townsley said that the courses would actually be offered for male learning styles, female learning styles and then mixed learning styles. She also said that if a man made a request to get into a female learning styles course, or vice versa, Peace would not prevent that, but "we'll advertise the courses" as being designed for men and women respectively.
Smomchoohuh? Disbodoiowhat? So instead of A) leaving the school as it is, or B) just having a normal co-ed school, Peace College will C) offer three different types of courses for every class tailored to gender-based "learning styles" that may or may not be completely made up. Sounds efficient! And which classes would qualify for this new segregation vacation? Let's go to the head of the faculty Senate, Betty Witcher:
Witcher said that Townsley, in a brief discussion after the announcement, suggested that subjects such as "women's literature and things like that" would be appropriate for separate sections, while also noting research that men and women learn mathematics in different ways.
