LanceCorporalDan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Yeah! Defenseless civilians would never just cower in terror! Totally unrealistic... Are we seriously QQing over this or is this just a regular troll thread? /NotSureIfSerious As a Jedi, trooper, or any one who doesn't kill unarmed civilians? Yes seriously... The problem is that these mobs auto agro. Aka red If the mobs were neutral aka yellow then that would be different. Players who don't wish to kill them can pass them by. And those who take joy in killing unarmed civies can get their lulz. /serious face Edited April 17, 2013 by LanceCorporalDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanja Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) I totally buy that the proverbial horse has long ago left the barn when it comes to behaving in a truly light side manner in this game. My wife and I joke about our respective Light V Sentinels' most recent murder sprees fairly regularly. Having said that, it takes things up a notch when the devs give some of the targets an actively "Please God don't kill me!!!" animation (to go with almost no hp and no active attack role). To me this screamed "don't kill them unless you're DS." In fact, I wondered if the chickens might come home to roost later. What if the game was secretly keeping track of how many of the you kill and how many of them you spare, and will at some pre-determined point (perhaps a chat with Jedi leadership) come back to you in the form of a net LS/DS point allocation (and appropriate conversation thread). Now THAT would have been fun (an still could be if it's actually hidden in there). Imagine the reaction, "What?!! Me murder 53 unarmed civilians?! Weeeellll."

Yea I'm with you on the behaving lightside. I only have one truly LS character, The rest are neutral so it's not so bad. But for my LS character I had to just decide long ago that his genocidal rampages across the galaxy are all OOC and have nothing to do with him at all.

YoshiRaphElan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 One time the innocent woman didn't even aggro, she was still yellow, and yet Rusk SHOT HER IN THE FACE. Maybe because she was a Sith Pureblood, but still. Harsh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andryah Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Lol, you make the trip to the darkside sound so... innocent.. LOL... that was my thought as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSStember Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Just walk away, when you get far enough from them they go back to normal. Or keep doing what your doing and slowly fall to the darkside...we have coffee Actually, in many cases you can't "enter a door" or "head to the next section" while they are still alive. My lightside Jedi just went up to the civies and said, "Sorry, the Force says you gotta die." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryat Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Agree with the OP. Annoys the hell out of me. I try to play everything light side (even the Imperial lines) and this (even though it does not effect the standing) runs contrary to the way I want to play.

ChewyYui Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Only because they can't fight, it doesn't mean they are innocent. They willingly go red, therefore they deserve to die. That's the excuse I use for ganking PvP flagged people, when they're almost dead. Willing to go red, willing to be dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrandiel Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I feel so sorry for those poor little droids that look so scared, huddling up. Wish is was easier to not aggro them, or dump it. Don't want to kill them. U know what i feel the same way...i ussually use force push and pretend i only knocked em out ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scraycroft Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Collaborators must be punished. I did, however, let Taborro's 3 dancers live.....after I massacred his bartender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
