I vastly prefer arenas to warzones because pubbies suck at objectives. I've been trying to get some dudes together on Discord to run ranked groups, anyone interested? Maybe we can do a regular time? I'd be down to Tank with my Jugg.

Just a reminder:  STRONGHOLD CHRISTMAS PARTY Get the Dromund Kaas apartment stronghold if you haven't already got it for a whopping 5k* credits and decorate the crap out of the initial entrance room in whatever manner you so desire to celebrate the time of the year which it currently is. Christmas or whatever. The rules: 1) Initial DK apartment entrance room is the only room we're using 2) 100 decoration limit (which is the amount the room unlocks with) Deadline: 7th January 2017 Judging will probably be Medullah and myself, unless anyone else wants to help pick winners. Prizes: Nonentity's fabulous new Unstable Peacemaker's lightsabers plus other goodies from the vault. *Apparently on sale at the moment for a measly 5 credits. Current entries: Dely Apple Dalris Othaine M_Sinistrari Aleth fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Dec 27, 2016 |

Really a bummer. The cold, calculating bastard in me knows that Disney has a special "plot alteration file" for when this happens to either her or Mark Hamill.

I kind of wish they'd revisit the aesthetics of scrapper scoundrel. Punching out sith lords and giant robots was funny for the first couple hours, but after a while I'm officially tired of the meat-slapping foley sound. I think it'd be cooler if they: 1) replaced the bludgeon animation with sucker punch (or even bring back blaster whip, bludgeon is kind of ugly) 2) replace sucker punch with some kind of cool hip fire/fan the hammer animation (yes I have been playing overwatch, why do you ask), or maybe another thing using the shotgun. Punching out giant monsters is just...a little too silly to stick with for the long term.

Have you tried raiding with scrapper scoundrels? 8 straight minutes of whapping and slapping sound effects

They definitely need to use the shotgun as often as operatives use their knives. I was so disappointed when I finally tried a scrapper and it turned out to be all punching.

I agree with more shotgunning but at the same time, anything that turns Star Wars into the Three Stooges is aces

The biggest problem I have with Scrapper isn't that they're punching, it's the big glowing fist when they land Flying Fists. Just looks like they suddenly became Green Lantern. I think the Operative version is cheesy too, but the Scoundrel version is just dumb looking.

Oh my god, the trade federation music (The Droid Invasion et all) from Episode 1 is what plays all the time in TOR during flashpoints and battles? I thought it was like Darth Malak's theme revisited, but no, it's Episode 1. I have played this game so long and had never pegged that down.

I'm vaguely considering giving this another go - have they done anything about about the skill/rotation bloat this game had?

Yes and no. Your rotation is still pretty much the same as it always was, but they removed a bunch of abilities that you weren't supposed to be using anyway. Which sucks because I enjoyed rocket punching people with my Merc and stabbing people with my sniper every once in a while, but people though it was too complex.

They also removed the stance buttons, aka the "here's an opportunity to make a mistake because you forgot to do a thing after swapping disciplines" buttons.

I can still dance around keyboard turners on my Sorc taking the last few percents of their life with Saber Strike while they turn circles in confused panic because I won't let them get their cast of Tracer Missile off. I fail to see the problem here.

Asimo posted:It's also the most divided game, considering they only ever relased half of it. :iamafag: This was a real good post, particularly the bit I bolded there. This is the huge problem I have with KOTOR 2. Taken alone, it's a decent sci-fi adventure with good characters. It just gets Star Wars wrong at every turn. I think Rogue One was a good example of how Star Wars can have some moral ambiguity to it and still get the basics right. The rebels are haunted by the terrible things they've done fighting the Empire. They constantly fight among themselves (Cassian straight-up murders other rebels more than once onscreen) and they're basically terrorists. But it was written by people who understand Star Wars. I think the Dark Side is best explained as a barrier you can cross. There isn't a gradated light-dark spectrum really, there's no real gray, but it's not as simple as "good and bad" either. "Light vs. Dark" is like surfing a wave vs. wiping out. People are complicated and flawed, and they have to be really careful when they use the Force, because one slip will gently caress you up big time. The Jedi are all about self-control because if you start dabbling in this power you put yourself at risk. The Dark Side corrupts the user, makes them insane, but the "light side" doesn't exactly "turn you good." You can absolutely be a morally gray Force user, but that's not "using the gray side," it's just a risky path because you're probably straying closer to that barrier. I'd imagine it's more difficult that way. Getting "dark side points" for kissing a girl works as a video game mechanic, but it's not a very good interpretation of the mythos.

Man, do people queue up solely for Athiss these days? I think 80% of the fps I've done have been Athiss, and they consistently wipe on the beast until someone drops and we can bring in a healer companion, which makes it a breeze.
