Forum Overview :: Rants :: I'm totally getting this game now.<nt>

[quote name="Boba Bagg"][quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Bill Dungsroman"][quote name="Entropy Stew"]Well, thing is you'll only get a force-sensitive player slot (a requisite for becoming a jedi) if a GM gives you one. The guidelines for doling them out would probably something along the lines of "That guy is actually RPing! Let's give them an FS char". This leads me to believe that the Jedi will above the standard "j00 d34d f00" MOO3MOM2ORPG plebian. I don't even really care if I'm hunting somebody I can perma-kill - all I wan't is the opportunity to stalk somebody across 3 planets, meet them in a cantina, sit down, buy them a drink, say something to the effect of "Oh, you don't know me, but I know <i>all sorts of things</i> about you...", smile, leave, follow them into the frontier, ambush them with my speeder bike (yes, I know, vehicles won't be in at launch) ala Darth Maul (which was one of the only cool parts of that movie) and leave them as smouldering corpses. And get payed for it. I want to play with them like mice, you know, to keep it interesting.[/quote] Fine, kill those fags, too. It does sound fun, though. <I>In theory</I>. Actually, this game will fucking fail miserably if they try to do what they claim they are going to do. They've already started backsliding and cutting features left and right. Jedi will either become available to the min-maxers or it will become a boondoggle with cries of favoritism and discrimination as Mod pals are oddly the only ones who become Jedis and so forth. [quote name="Entropy Stew"]Actually, I was thinking this would be more of a solitary film noir type activity - you sit in a room under a ceiling fan, a solitary shaft of light illuminating only your eyes (like that Kids in the Hall sketch), waiting for a job, etc. Teaming up would only be left for hard targets (Jedi) or larger mercenary gigs.[/quote] Queer. Take on a Jedi solo, Han, and see where it gets you. [/quote] Fuck that solo horseshit, I want clan caltrops to be sallying forth en masse against even the weakest of nOOb targets. Imagine someone just logging on for the first time into the game only to get pounced on by a dozen of the gayest group of bounty hunters this side of the rim. Wookie Tseni can grab the mark from behind and whisper "Nancy o' Nancy" into his ear while Creexual the Rodian orally rapes them with one of his cranial tentacles. Once the target has had all his virtual humanity stripped from him Greedo Dungsroman will tell him to get on his knees and suck on his blaster only to be told exactly why it's the wrong type of blaster for the job by SB3PO who quickly slips back into a spice induced high babbling about memes. Right before pulling the trigger Mon Motherhead will catch some of the doomed soul's babbling and reveal him to in fact to be the janitor who has followed us to yet <i>another</i> online site. After throwing the body into that pit of whatever thing on Tatooine (i just spent FAR too much time on theforce.net trying to look that one up) it's on to the local Jedi Master's pad to play mailbox baseball and pull donuts on his lawn in our decked out speeder, "I think this looks better <i>through your window</i>! What are you going to do about it you wrinkled cunt? That's right, NOTHING! I've read your jedi code, never attack in anger you pussy!" before tearing off to the local cantina to celebrate. There Tseni will be trying to pick up the strippers while Creexul decides he can do better and hops on stage to shake his money maker making full use of the wide range of dancing emoticons and gestures available. Then Dungsroman, on his eighth round of romulan ale (cut me a break) will suddenly smash his glass to the ground and overturn the table pointing to one of the dancers across the room shouting "that's the BITCH that left me at the Everquest altar!" before unloading random blaster fire all over the place and starting a massive bar brawl. FABIO the moisture farmboy will attempt to join in only to find that all his blasters have fallen apart. Tseni will be seen putting two stormtroopers in headlocks and dragging them to the window saying something about cement bags being heavier. Meanwhile, unknown to the rest of us, Mischief Maker has managed to hack one of our accounts and has been impersonating that person the entire time (in fact he's been doing it ever since launch). Fed up with how gay the Star Wars universe has become now that it has its own MMORPG, he rushes to the middle of the bar, flings open his trenchcoast to reveal a ring of thermal detonators strapped to his body, and shouts "FUCK YOU LUCAS!" before becoming the game's first online martyr. As the bar patrons gradually find their corpses again everyone begins to come back to life, all except the perma-dead jedi fags littering the floor which everyone points and laughs at. All except,...THE MISCHIEF MAKER! Who leaves his body as a glowing blue specter rising up to paradise acompanied by 23 glowing blue virgin specters, one for each jedi killed in the blast. Then Tseni will ask if there are any good MMORPG's out there EXCEPT FOR STAR WARS: GALAXIES and we all get banned. The End.[/quote] Especially if you can play a Jawa and there's a key bound to shout: "UTEEDEE!"[/quote]
