  1. Crashed just as I hit play to start a new sniper. Yay...

    Kill Stealing

    In the time I've been playing MMO's, I've noticed the attitude on this change. When I first started, it was simple: If someone's fighting a mob and they're doing fine, it's not your place to jump in unless they ask. If they're not doing so well, you can do what you can to support them (buffs, heals, whatever), but, again, you don't jump in unless they ask for help. I still play by this. If I'm doing a quest that require X amount of mob Y, and someone is alread fighting said mob, I'll stand off to the side and wait for a re-spawn unless invited to join in. Needless to say, I do get annoyed when I'm in a fight, doing just fine, and someone decides to jump in. I don't usually say anything, though. I just accept it as the way things have gone in MMO's. What really pisses me off, though, is people like the one I encountered yesterday. I was fighting a mob (can you still call 1 strong enemy a mob?). Doing just fine (He was down to 1/2 health, my companion was down by about 1/8, and I was at full). Some random Marauder dives in, finishes off my target, then expects me to say thank you. He seemed a little peeved that I not only didn't say thank you, but left without saying anything. (He's on my ignore list, now, since he wouldn't leave well enough alone.) I will happily say thank you if I'm having a hard time of it and you heal me, but in a situation like that, you'll be ignored.
  3. Another line I love is one the comes up from Kaliyo at the start of a fight. "Dibbs on the head!" So perfectly fits her personality.
  4. This part doesn't make sense to me. I've played quite a few F2P MMO's, and (from what I've seen) "super-casual" player couldn't be bothered with cash stores. If they're that casual of a player, why spend the money? Just my thoughts.
  5. Welcome to the internet. If you can't say anything nice, you'll probably do it in an online forum.
  6. And to match that, when Vette is running low on health: "The galaxy's about to be down one cute Twi'lek!"
  7. Apologies if this one has been mentioned already and I missed it: Bounty Hunter quest - Family Cleansing - right after Admiral Fraabaal chews out his lieutenant BH: Betcha get a demerit for that. Mako: *laughs* You're terrible! Partly because I think Mako's reaction is the funny part, partly because I think she's particularly adorable here.
  8. IMO, I think this missed the point more than any post prior to it. The OP isn't saying that the DDE paid less and should get more. They're saying we paid more than standard edition buyers did, so we should get something. As a DDE purchaser, I'll say this: Would I like something more? Yes. Does it bother me that CE purchasers get the hero banner and 1000 CC's? No, not at all. I agree with the OP, but it's not a huge deal to me, one way or the other, in the end.
  9. Money I wasted on TOR: $0.00 I enjoyed the game when I first played it, and I still enjoy it. Since my initial purchase, I've had 3 days where I haven't put in at least 2 hours. The thing that keeps me playing - the stories. I like the stories they've put behind every class. As for them going F2P: I've played quite a few F2P MMO's, many of them I've enjoyed and continue to go back to. Do I think this one going F2P is the final nail in its coffin? No. I thought that about what was my previous favourite MMO - City of Heroes. I went back to it after having not played for over a year, and I actually found it to be better than before. I'll happily stick with TOR.
  10. Nope. For me, I find the game to be pretty good, and, as it stands, I don't see myself unsubbing until they shut down the servers for good. Be it next month or on the 10 year anniversary, I'm in for the long-haul. Besides, I know quite a few people who have paid for MMO's that eventually went F2P, and they've all said the games improved after that. So, I'm interested in seeing where things go.
  11. My favourite, hands down, is one of the Sith Inquisitor lines: "I love assassinating assassins. They always look so surprised.":jawa_biggrin:
  12. He awoke in complete darkness. After a second or two of confusion, he realized he was blind-folded. He tried to stand, but his hands and feet were held fast by binders. He heard movement. "My lord, he's awake." The blind-fold was removed with about as much care and attention as you would give a loose tooth in the mouth of a toddler. The lights in the room blinded him for a moment. As his eyes adjusted, he could make out a shape walking towards him. "Who..." His voice cracked. He tried clearing his throat, to no avail. "Who am I?" A woman. Her voice held a hint of Corellian amid a strong Imperial accent. "You may call me Lord Hamashko." Lord? He blinked away the last of the blurriness from his eyes. She was a Zabrak, with a face so heavily tattooed, her skin looked black. Something in her eyes frightened him, and he looked down. That's when he noticed the lightsaber at her waist. A Sith! His heart began pounding in his chest. His mind raced, trying to think of why a Sith would want him. "Please," he begged. "Don't hurt me! What ever you want, it's yours!" Hamashko laughed. "Oh, my dear Azar, of course I won't hurt you." Now, he was really terrified. She knew his name! "Please, I'm just a simple trader." "I know exactly what you are." She traced a finger down his cheek. "Officially, you are a trader of rare, and extremely over-priced, alcoholic beverages to elitist snobs on Republic worlds. Unofficially, you're a black market dealer who would sell his own mother if the price were right. Through intermediaries, you have also provided me with some of the most delicious slaves from a half-dozen different worlds." She's a customer, Azar thought. A happy one, from the sounds of it. I can deal with this. He took a deep breath, and put on his best salesman voice. His voice only shook a little. "How may I serve you today, my Lord?" She clapped her hands and giggled like a schoolgirl. "Oh, I do so love someone who is willing to cooperate! Now, then, I am going to ask you a question," she replied. "If you answer honestly, I will reward you with enough credits to buy a new ship." He smiled. "My Lord, I will endeavour to help you in any way I can." "I know how much you enjoy the finer things in life, so I know you will." Her smile evaporated like ice on Tattooine. "If your answer does not please me, however..." She raised a hand, lightning crackling between her fingers. "...I will bring in your wife and two daughters. I will torture them, in front of you, for three days. After that, I will kill your wife, slowly, then infect your daughters with the Rakghoul plague, and leave you in here with them. Am I clear?" Azar didn't trust his voice anymore. He just nodded. "Excellent," she sneered. Just as suddenly as it vanished, her smile returned. "Now, then, where is the best restaurant on Nar Shaddaa?" Azar began to sob.
  13. I'm just curious, folks. What sorts of things in this game do you find unintentionally funny? Things that make you chuckle, regardless of how they're intended. For example: I'm from Canada, which is where Scotiabank (originally the Bank of Nova Scotia) was founded. For those not familiar with Scotia bank, their slogan is "You're richer than you think." In the Sith Inquisitor story-line, there is a character named Darth Skotia. Every time I see him or hear his name mentioned, I immediately think, "Darth Skotiabank. You're eviler than you think." So, how about anyone else?
  14. I know more than a few female gamers that I wouldn't want to PvP against for the simple fact that they are not only viscious, but devious as all hell! Good on'em!
  15. I sensed a great disturbance in the Force. As if a million voices suddenly cried out with laughter as one was suddenly silenced... Again... And again... And again... There are times I lament the fact that I don't actually have any friends in game. Then I see things like this, and... Thanks for sharing!
  16. As soon as I saw that 1.2 was going live, I wondered how many people would complain about the timing. I do most of my SWTOR gaming at work. (Yes, I'm very fortunate.) My shift starts 1 hour after the update starts, and ends 1 hour after. That one hour is the only time during my shift when I can't get onto SWTOR. Would I prefer the update be done at another time/on another day? Yes. Am I complaining? No. Do I feel alienated? No. The fact of the matter is that a lot of MMO's have maintenance around this time. This is not something new, nor is it some attempt on Bioware's part to piss off a certain segment of their subscribers. It is what it is. If the had it at any other time, someone else would be complaining. If they started at the usual time, people would complain that the maintenance is ending LATER than usual.
  17. Love it! had a hard time keeping from laughing and waking everyone else up. Nice work!
  18. Not everyone get Friday night - Sunday night off.
  19. Another MMO I used to play (and enjoyed almost as much as SWTOR) always has their maintenance at 9:00 PDT. It never bothered me. No matter when they do their maintenance, someone loses out.
  20. Struggling? I didn't think so. He was not just blocking Sidious' Force Lightning attacks, but actually turning it back on Sidious. If Anakin hadn't been there, Windu would have won handily. Just my opinion, of course.
  21. Two Sith walk into a bar. Everyone dies.
  22. I resent that! The Sith are unified, 100%! The fact that there is an unusually high mortality rate involving accidental beheading, death by natural poisoning, and clumsy acolytes accidentally powering up their lightsabers while their superiors just happen (coincidentally, of course) to be strolling by does not mean we try to kill each other! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a... ah... surprise meeting with my master to discuss my... um... impending promotion.
  23. Because some people think, "It's the internet! Rules are optional!" Just like how some people think posted speed limits are ±30.
