  1. Walk four meters, kill a group. Walk four meters, kill a group. Walk four meters, kill a group. Walk four meters, OOO a boss... Walk four meters, kill a group. Walk four meters, kill a group. And the best part it's a story driven RPG, and the mobs hardly make a dent in your experience. So they are pretty much just their to waste your time. I like this game, but I would like it a more if I didn't have to fight for every meter of turf. Up hill both ways. It's not hard. It's just a grind. If I wanted to grind I would play Diablo or something.
  2. My friends name is "Grabbe DaBooty" My name is "Smash" So together we are "Smash & Grabbe" And for my old school D&D.... "Darth Vechna, and Lord Kass"
  3. Just sat down....Day off....Wanted to make armor for my Commando.....Whaaaaaaaa! SoK I had to, ya know, clean the house anyway. I think everyone is raging over the wrong thing. This is clearly to me a problem that threatens the game immensely. It's a stability bug, someone found a money making exploit, or someone found a hack to get your character information. And what ever it is, is growing out of control. It's not like they said "Well Joe over here. He beat that boss solo, so were dropping the servers and patching it." It's two hours, it sucks for everyone who was playing, regardless of time zone. Cause we all had a few hours to play. This game is 24/7, 365. No matter when you take them down. Someone is gong to be mad. BTW Asherson's Call used to patch during the day time. All the time, and their monthly update was huge....And we were all on dial up back then It was called "PATCH DAY" for a reason.
  4. If I remember correctly, and it's a been a long time ago and a Galaxy far far away (sorry could not stop myself) Hyper space folds space and time, so when entering it the ships actual speed is multiplied by the amount of space being folded. So lets say your doing half light speed (just an example) and you enter Hyper Space. Because of your Hyper Drive you'll actually cover twice that distance, wile still going only half light speed. Or something like that. The big kicker is that objects in real space, also exist in Hyper Space. Ergo flying into a sun will in fact wreck your day, and why they use Nava computers and Hyper Space lanes. These are routes that are safe, and clear, and maintained. Their is also a kick out built into Hyper Drives that will detect a large body in space and prevent you from running into it. Hyper space lanes are also not straight lines. They zig and zag all over known space to find clear paths. Witch is the reason why some routes take longer even though their distance is shorter. Coruscant is the hub of the world because it's relatively simple to get to. Some worlds, Gree for example, are nearly impossible to find because no known route exists. On Lightsabers and SciFi You have to remember that Lucas back in 1970 didn't go to the Vulcian Science academy and ask "Hay how would this flashlight work". He went "How can we get a kool looking sword fight on the screen and not make it look dumb. Wala it's a light saber. It was created for a movie, and no one had any idea that 30+ years later people would be playing a video game based off it. So they have to change and adapt. Near as science can figure a lightsaber is a plasma cutter. How and why it does what it does, and how it runs on what appears to be a couple "D" cells no one knows. Anyway yes it would appear that we are all using glowing ball bats though. And the wide spread use of what looks like actual glowing kendo sticks making the same sounds does not help the immersion of the situation. It's even more funny when you consider that my guardians Hilt strike does more damage than it's saber slash.
  5. "If we get eaten....Your fired." Said by the Jedi Master training me, in response to me not killing a three meter tall "Thing" in the hallway. "I want to return this droid, it's broken" "No refunds, what is the problem?" "Its voice modulator is not working, it's no good to me." "Not broken, It's a fetcher!" "Featcher! It's a protocol droid!"
  6. With all the problems in all the world, even in this game. Someone has to champian spelling. And not of a true word mind you. Nope we have to champian a games made up fake name. Ok everyone get out your books...Spelling B tomorrow. Pass or you can't ever log into your character again. If you fail it's just two bad for ouy.. (See I left a few typos, grammar, and spelling mistakes just to make people feel at home) Happy times!
  7. Richer than me my friend. Looks like you could buy you own Planet with that kinda cred. I liked it mostly. Was exactly what I figured it to be. I was a wise cracking, gun toten' smuggler. Though I would have liked to actually "Smuggle" more than myself from time to time. I would have to say the end of Chapter 1 was more satisfying than Chapter 3. And honestly I have no idea when I finished Chapter 2. I guess I was too engrossed in the game to realize. My only regret was that I was too buisy trying to kill the last boss, and I forgot to give him a proper send off (IE a good swift kick to the jimmies.) I've actually considered doing the entire story over again just for that reason.
  8. They are using the Microsoft model of bug management. Fix two, introduce three. This way it can seem like they are working hard on the code so that they can in fact keep their jobs, and keep us paying for fixed content, and promise a bug free game in the near future. Every now and again they will release a patch that fixed 90% of everything, so that people will stop crying and go "Holey $#$#, they got it together, lets stick around", ya know like "XP and Winders 7". The above comments were 75% sarcasm, and 24% andictotal, containing 1% truth. Please pick out what pieces fit your version of reality and apply, with the local libation befitting your station and personal preferences.
  9. I was just shocked that the game worked on laptops. The funny part was that Penny knew it was Wars and not Trek. She is smarter than she looks people. And in all honesty. Amy knows that ole Sheldon can't get sarcasm. So it's really her fault when she offered up the ultimatum for him to stay and not go to the birthday party. I would have too. Thuss explaining why I'm single.
  10. Clearly, and I mean this in a nice way. You have not read the Minecraft forums of that of the Order of the Stick. Boggles my mind why people spend time, money, and effort to complain about nearly every aspect of a game. And yet still play it. Haters gata hate. Far as population goes. I can't say. The server I play on has a light load. All times, every day. I might see 20 people in the fleet, and more than once I've had an entire planet to my self. It has always been that way though. And I see the same people every day. Most of us are on our 2nd and 3rd character. It does make it hard to play, because if you need help. You can't find any, and our economy is near flat because no one has money. That said I don't think that is because the game is dieing. Bioware just put up too many servers for the inital launch. And with that said. People are topping out, and finding the PVP to be, so put it polite, bit buggy at the moment. And they have lost a little interest. Their is also something to be said about comparing it to WoW. I see a lot of people do that. I don't think it's a fair comparison. WoW is ten years old. That is ten years of refinement, new content, and learning. If you want to compare. Look at WoW when it was first released. Ya it was a buggy mess, and would never out sell Everquest right?
  11. If you have Risha make crafting items for you. She will also show up at the table. 3 times the Risha.....
  12. Get used to it saddly. I don't mean that in a bad way. it's just after 50 levels with my gunslinger I've come to the conclusion that your just gonna suck from time to time. Last night I got smoked by a level 47 strong droid cause he was a melee damage type. I died before I could do anything. Sometimes your the windshield. Sometimes your the bug my friend. That said....My advice is to go back to the last planet you were on and do every bonus mission you can. Level up past the level of the story missions, and stay that way. Then get all the orange modular armor you can, and buy parts for it with you planetary commendations. Doing this had made my life a lot better. That and finding friends who will help you out in the tuff parts. Remember it's a Massive Multi Player game, even though the story is soloable. I could not beat the light spring solo so I called in the cavalry. Made short work of it then.
  13. Just got to level 50 with my gunslinger. Took the Sharpshooter tree most of the way. Good news....It is in fact very doable. Bad news....it can be very very painfull. You only have one choise in a fight, burn it down before it burns you down. And it's a sprint, not a jog. if something goes wrong, your normaly dead. A wandering mob agros onto you....Dead... Missed something wile turning around a corner. Dead! Sometimes I've done everything right and simply ended up dead because I can't take a hit. Wile I can dish out a lot of damage, and 90% of the time that is sufficent, the remaining 10% of the time. Life truly sucks. If you go the Gunslinger route, don't assume that Risha is a bad choise for a companion. It's odd (at least to me) but she kills stuff rather well, nearly as fast as I can. A lot of the time you can wipe out mobs, strongs, and elites before they have a chance to really wear you down, and Risha picks off the secondary targets very well. If it is a Melee elite that I have to deal with. I go get Bodarr a lot of the time. He is damm tuff after all. Also when you do get Guss (the healer) he is pretty awsome. I'll look down at my health in the middle of a fight expecting to be at half health, and find out I'm fully healed.
  14. I've a list of people that need shot in the face and kicked in the junk. Their all on it. Don't really care what order they get marked off.
  15. It's one of the main reason that Harrison Ford didn't want to play Han again. In the movies he didn't develop enough. If you read the books, the first ones (I can't vouch for the last several dozen), you find out a lot about Solo. Long story short, he was an up and coming Imperial Officer when he had a major change of heart (actually he realized he had one). After busting out Chewie and tanking his future, he turned to smuggling. Even then their were rules. Han can't stand Slavery, even back in the day if he ran across slavers he caused them no end of good (Spaced one if I remember). I think his love of money was due to the fact that he got into debt to the hutts for a lot of money, and he had collections calling due no matter where he went. In general I don't think he cared much for money. Han likes fast stuff. Big, loud, fast things. Typical of Corrileans. And he loved to tinker. One book I read he got really bent out of shape because someone actually fixed the Falcon. It's true that Hans involvement with the rebel alliance was due to his 3 meter tall 300 pound shaggy moral compass. However he eventually saw the light, and joined the cause full fledged. That's been a running stick throughout that characters life. Han thinks about how much trouble this will get them into. Chewie gets him to do it anyway. By the time you get to the Corrialian Trilogy Han is a family man. And he was finally feeling his age, and looking to retire to a much more soft life. At that point though he had all the money anyone could ever want. He was the husband of one of the founders of the New Republic. Yet the Falcon was just a broken down, and if I remember was still pretty much his home.
