Coming back after a four year hiatus, is there any reason to make new characters? I've finished the class stories for the imperial side, but am at best half-way through the republic classes.

I really wish there was a story replay feature, all that Sith Warrior stuff was badass as hell (especially Alderaan and the filler planet where you can reprise Vader choking a bitch for doubting the power of the dark side of the force)

I think the republic trooper dark side path is more "hard men making hard choices" stuff than cartoonishly evil. There's one boss that once you beat him, the light option is to arrest him, and the dark option is to tell control that they are about to have a communications malfunction while you dispense a summary execution. Yelling at senators, punching dickweed Alderanian nobles, a bunch of "you can't handle the truth" kind of stuff.

So Medullah has picked random numbers using a generator, with the numbers assigned as above. Winning numbers are:

Yes, he was a muppet and rolled 1-12 rather than 1-11. I made him reroll the 12, which came up as a 5.

In winning order then we have:

1st place: 9 - Benthalus
2nd place: 7 - Preechr
3rd place: 5 - Turbl
4th place: 3 - Sun Wu Kampf/ISIS blah blah/Troika or whatever lovely name he's using today
5th place: 11 - Fuzz

Winners can go look in the Oedzi Memorial tab in the guild bank and let us know what you want, 1st get first pick etc. Just a reminder that nonentity most recently donated the following, but there are other nifty items in there if you prefer:

Tythian Lightsaber Pike
Technolith Matrix Weapon Tuning
Nathema Voreclaw license

As for those of you who bothered with costumes, stay tuned.

1: Defiant Vented Lightsaber
2: Tythian Lightsaber Pike
3: The pieces of the Unrelenting Terror set that we actually have (looks like breastplate, gloves, legs, boots)

I'm doing my best to kill Koth on one of my alts, it's a little different but not a whole lot.

Yeah, pretty much. I've been playing space Barbie dress up and filling my strongholds with chairs in-between replaying the class stories because it's been years since I last did them.

In other news, do your Balmorra heroics to hit your conquest goal this week. That's No Goon is in the top ten for it so far. It's easy and lucrative.

That's fine, the dromund kaas apartment has been completely empty forever. I'll definitely be buying my own waterworld play palace, though.

So the way they enabled customization of Koth and Lana is that they put in a customization slot that has their default appearance on it. This slot overrides whatever they're wearing to make them look like they're supposed to. If you take out the customization, their appearances change significantly. See for yourself:

Lana with default customization:

Lana without default customization:

Koth with default customization:

Koth without default customization:

Kill Koth, he is the worst and is replaced by the best :ssh:

A reminder:

CONTEST TIME AGAIN!

Now, you may be thinking 'but Medullah, I play a class which doesn't have missiles or orbital strikes or fireworks!' In that case go find one of the many areas in the game with big fuckoff missiles, explosions and/or fireworks and incorporate them into your work. The bigger the better! Maybe you could go run a ship battle and get some wicked footage of ~~you blowing up~~ the enemy being totalled by your missile swarms? Perhaps a trip to Cademimu to visit General Ortol for some rocket tips? You decide!

To give you an idea of what's up for grabs courtesy of NE:

Volatile Weapon Tuning
Sign of Havoc Flair
...and a bunch of mounts
Plus countless other bits and pieces such as companion creatures and bots.

Missiles ready to launch (if this counts).

Just walk away, and there can be an end to the Hwasong.

Think the hunter still wins this one, since Mako is supposed to be a teenager or something?

I think he means Hunter, the agent's antagonist.

Lana is the loving worst at her job. I will never regret telling her that her incompetence threatened the Empire on Ziost.

True, but there's also a lot of times when the text for a choice does not reflect what gets said and it makes it difficult to roleplay

I thought I was letting mako kill her friend's killer, but what happened was I tried to go holier than thou about faceshooting pricks and pissed her off.

Also this is why I don't understand why ToR doesn't have a poo poo ton of titles and mounts like WoW.

A title that probably takes an afternoon to implement could take a player days, weeks, or even months. Seems like a good return on investment to me.

Uh... there are an absolute fuckton of mounts, and quite a few titles. They're just mostly from gamble boxes!
