Saone Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 This and this...simply brilliant and lol moment. good on ya! Poor form here. I live in Baltimore and traffic is bad enough on 695 - 83 exchange, without having to add a plane flight into the commute to work:( How about we launch The District? I doubt it would make my commute from NoVA any longer. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anethers Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 While I agree that the training swords feel sucky... it's worht it for that sense of achievement when you get your first lightsaber. It was just.. awesome. Hearing that perfect sound effect when you draw it for the first time. And feeling like a ****** when you get to use it. When I first equipped my lightsaber and heard that familiar sound I thought "Oh yes, you and I shall do great things together." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkiii Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Yeah that was a bit annoying, I agree. I pretty much made one of every character and have been enjoying the story-lines immensely. With most of them of them I get to hear stuff like "she had more knowledge of the force at 5 than..." and "omg you're Havoc squad..." and "you're the best bounty hunter ever so let's prove it" etc. So I kind of overlook the SI beginning, but fair point indeed. I won't throw out any spoilers, but around level 30 or so ... you show the world just how bad *** you really are. Trust me on this ... you will NOT be called a slave, ever again. Ever.

Esoteric_Monk Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I can't seem to post images here so please see this article. And give it some nerd love. But you know, in a totally platonic way. That's a really great article, well written and funny. Thank you for the share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexas Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Pretty funny read, nice job and fairly true even for the Blizzardest of Blizzardy fanboys such as myself. Nothing to say people can't enjoy both though, casual as WoW's gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anethers Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 reason #1 - Wow sucked in the first place. Now, now don't be hatin. A lot of people enjoy/enjoyed that game. Nothing wrong with that. Their pop culture references are funny and they do a lot to engage their fan base. Any MMO that wants to be successful can certainly learn a lot from WoW's successes and failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrloch Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I dunno that I was ever tired of blasting fireballs at things. The fantasy was never tiresome, I just couldn't enjoy my fantasy with PANDAS running around. And stupid, stupid talent trees. And more, but blah. Sith Inquisitors start out being called slave and made to feel crappy and inferior, FWIW. I never felt as insulted in game in WoW as I feel leveling an Inq for the first 10 or so levels. Interesting read. Thanks. Yea, I'm only lvl 16, now, but I had better be allowed to kill that SOB eventually... you know who I'm talking about.

anethers Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 I'm starting to think I should clarify that first part more. What I'm saying is I am specifically tired of games with elves, and orcs, and mages, oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is I am specifically tired of games with elves, and orcs, and mages, oh my! I understood what you where saying no worries lol. Im sick of fantasy with dragons orcs elves sword + shield and all that **** also I <3 sw thus adding more to my love of this game even more.

Tyrloch Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 (edited) The only thing I feel I disagree with in the article is the whole "feeling inferior" thing. Jedis start as Padwans. Sith Inquistors are slaves. Jedis start with glowing nerf bats. Meanwhile, looking at Troopers and Smugglers.... Troopers start with the bad*** distinction of being a Sgt. No one really wants to be an officer. Sgt. is the way to go! And, they start with the weapons they will move forward with. Rifles, blasters, etc. I kinda feel like Jedi get the short end of the stick. They'll give noobie gun shooters REAL guns right out of the gate. But Jedi, who are supposed to be responsible, in control of their powers and able to make major life and death decisions, get a glowing plastic bat. Yea, but in the end, that's actually a bonus... a good thing. It's a rite of passage that only force users get to engage in. The first time you light up that bad boy... ooooohhh yyeeeaaaa!!! Nothing in the other classes starting areas is half as cool. Edited December 22, 2011 by Tyrloch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentk Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I agree with most everyone here. Awesome job that summed up how I feel about playing this game over the other MMO that shall remain unspoken. And yes, Jar Jar can go back into a hole somewhere. I wish my wife would follow me and kill stuff I point at. I tried to get into the "other" game and she lasted to level 20 before she just threw up her hands and went back to Mario Kart.

BoShekk Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 good article. don't agree with all of it, but I do agree with most of it.
