Like the Manhattan Mini Storage poster says, "If you leave NYC, you'll have to live in America."

Except Wall Street is in NYC. So....fuck that. Interesting fact: almost all the murders in my city are committed by NYC residents. Take our water and power, give us drugs, garbage and felons. Awesome!

I'll take rednecks any day.

Yeah, but most Wall Streeters live in Connecticut or Jersey and just pretend to be New Yorkers. Fuck, we should make them show their papers and then deport 'em.

[Sky]

So anyway...

How 'bout those bounty hunters?

[Surlyboi]

I'm torn. I really wanted to do the straight jedi playthrough, then I went and rolled characters foe all the professions and dammit, they're all compelling. I will be playing either a BH or Imperial agent on the with side first though.

And yes, trooper fucking rocks.

[Sky]

I was leaning to Jedi Knight on the Republic side, though now I'm torn on that side's force user class :) And Trooper, of course. With two AC and a couple specs within those, there's plenty of love to go around.

I'm still all about the powertech as my main, just want to stack survival skills to the roof. But I also really want to play a Sith Warrior, pureblood of course (leaning rattatttatta for BH). And since I like the single saber thing, I might end up rolling two tanks, heh.

[Sand]

Are guilds important in this game for end of game raids like every other mmo? If so any thoughts on an f13 guild for us non-guilded people?

I'm going to buy the CE from Target or Walmart and hope they ship it.

Really? I'll give you a pass because of pain meds or whatever, but c'mon, man.

Also, doubtful BC will last as an active guild to the raiding portions.

[Fordel]

Honestly, I found both Jedi class stories to be pretty boring.

Jedi always seem so damned surprised when they are wrong, especially when they've done nothing that would really ensure they would be right to begin with. It's just again and again with "Well we are Jedi and this is how we do things so obviously this is the correct thing to do!"


At least the two Sith classes are honest about their bullshit. "Yea, I have power and want more. Why? Fuck you, that's why!"

[Chimpy]

No one is surprised that you did not care for a non-trooper class there, Fordel.

[Kageru]

f13 forming a raiding guild is a pretty amusing concept.

I'm in the same boat, I want to play a Powertech and a Juggernaut.  I'm probably going Chiss for the BH and plain Jane human for the Juggernaut though, unless Sith Purebloods don't have to have a reddish skin tone.  My Powertech is going to be my dps, pvp character and the Juggernaut my tank.

[Surlyboi]

unless Sith Purebloods don't have to have a reddish skin tone.

Racialist! 

As for Sand's raiding request, fuck raiding.

[Sky]

Story-based, 8-man I can see. I don't think we'd be able to muster 16 even with our various splinter guilds. This is the first game I'm interested in raiding, though not to the hardcore exclusionary extent.

[Chimpy]

Is it Tusken raiding?

[Surlyboi]

Only if we go in single-file, to disguise our numbers.

[Sjofn]

I'm going to be all humans, all the time, I am pretty sure.

[Pezzle]

This thread needs more Dakka. 

[koro]

I'm going to be all humans, all the time, I am pretty sure.

On the Republic side I pretty much only like Humans as far as male characters go; if I played Empire I'd be torn between Human, Sith Pureblood, and Rattataki where available. Zabraks, Twi'leks, Chiss, et al, do nothing for me.

Girlfriend is torn between a Twi'lek and a Miraluka though, and she almost always plays Humans.

[Tannhauser]

Republic-side I'm going to be a Miralukan Jedi Sage.  Imp side I will be a Chiss Operative.  I like having heals.

Since they still haven't sent me a beta invite, I haven't really looked at the races/classes. Is cyborg still rumored? Miraluka look interesting on the republics.

[Lantyssa]

I'm going to be all humans, all the time, I am pretty sure.

You pretty much have to.  Green humans, red humans, pale bald humans, blind humans, humans with horns....  Twileks are the most exotic we've been shown.

[Sky]

I'm underwhelmed by the racial choices, even if I understand some of the necessity driving it. But I think they're workable.

Zero interest in Zabrak or Twilek, and not really into the green dudes.

I'm probably picking some of the more mainstream choices, since I think I'll go Chiss for my IA. Rolling Miraluka for my Jedi Shadow.

[Surlyboi]

Human bounty hunter, smuggler and jedi, Chiss agent, Mirialan trooper.

[Fordel]

Empire Zabraks and Republic Zabraks are actually pretty different visually. I don't care for the Republic version, but I could make a Empire one. I had a little Darth Maullette Sith Assassin that was full of wit and snark.


The Green Humans on the Republic Side can be pretty, I don't mind them. I could make one.


Those Bald Albino's on the Empire side are a total pass for me though.

The Twileks look really WEIRD in the face, I think it's the lack of eyebrows.

The Sith Purebloods are just ugly bastards.

The no eyeball humans are kinda a ripoff customization wise, the blindfolds take up like 3/4's of your face.

The Chiss are pretty neat, but those eyes are just creepy as shit. I'm still on the fence with them.

The Cyborgs were there, but they were really lame. I'm kinda hoping that they are just placeholder art, was not impressed by them at all.



My Trooper is PROBABLY going to be a Human, unless something changes and impresses me.

[Lantyssa]

I expect I'll mostly have Rattataki, Miralens, and Chiss.  Maybe a human or two.  There's a slim chance for a Zabrak.  Most of the races I'd really like to be aren't allowed for players.

[Surlyboi]

Lanny likes the wooks and the dogfaces...err Bothans.

[Zetor]

Well, isn't "aliens are just humans with funny makeup" a staple of star wars? Plus this way BWA saves on modelling/animation costs. Win/win!

That said, I remember the all-bothan city (Fiarr'melan or something) from SWG as well, it was fairly amusing... yes, my chara was a bothan too. 

[Fordel]

No that's StarTrek.

Starwars has a metric fuck load of variety.

[Sjofn]

And I fuckin' hate twileks.

[Nevermore]

And I fuckin' hate twileks.

 

And here I thought I was the only one who fucking hates Twileks.  Never understood why people liked them.

[Fordel]

I like twileks just fine, but the ones in SWTOR look WEIRD.

[Surlyboi]

And I fuckin' hate twileks.

 

And here I thought I was the only one who fucking hates Twileks.  Never understood why people liked them.

Because generally they've been played by fairly hot women in slut wear. Every other jedi out there is in robes and Aayla Secura's sporting leather pants and a bare midriff. The math is pretty simple there.

That said, I'll echo Fordel's sentiment that they just look... off in SWTOR.

[Chimpy]

Never understood why people liked them.

Pretty sure it has to do with the fact that they are always half naked and female in the original Star Wars movies.

EDIT: damnit, surly beat me to it.

[MahrinSkel]

There were some male Twileks around (Jabba the Hutt's doorman, I seem to recall).  You just looked right past them for the hot slaves (Leia's predecessor as chain-slut, for example).
