Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Quarterback Rex Grossman]

I had the Darth Maul bodywash in my shower for like 15 years. Only used it twice but it was so cool looking.

Why is this fandom home to some of the most ban happy faggots ever? Im not even talking about troons. I mean reddit jannies coming in and hijacking older star wars game communities and banning everyone from it for no reason. Then larping about how all is lost while they spam retarded incoherent memes everywhere.

 

[Gondolindrim]

It was the fucking worst to traverse. A bunch of long, annoying hallways and winding mountain roads packed the the brim with shitty enemy clusters that stop you from ever straying from the path. Fuck House Rist. All my homies in the Empire and Republic can put aside their differences to dunk on House Rist. It is your duty as an imperial citizen to punch as many noblemen as possible and fuck their wives.

And fuck the Imperial Agent story for constantly forcing me to trek back to that fucking nobleman's house at the barren corner of the map that has no quick travel point with a giant, empty courtyard for no other reason than wasting my fucking time. It's like someone thought the story was going too well and thought they needed to bring back the republic player's pain of the senate tower on Coruscant.

Why did we invent the holocom if we're just gonna constantly insist on having conversations in person?

Oh God, Imperial Agent had the worst Alderaan. Especially since it was all about helping the maneating bug people and their brainwashed ambassador.

SWTOR's not a bad game but some of it's storylines aged reeeaaaal poorly.

 

[M3xus]

I'm glad I checked out before getting too far in the Agent story. Sounds like I dodged a bullet.

And yeah, fuck House Rist. All my Sith homies hate House Rist.

Do they have the OT? or is it just the Disney shit and Phantom?

The OT's up there, alright. It's just that, right now, worldwide, Phantom Menace is the most-watched film at the time of that post.

Which either speaks to the renewed interest around that film in the wake of the 25th Anniversary, or a sudden re-appraisal of it in the wake of how bad Disney's content has become (which still wouldn't account for the surge of viewership the film is getting internationally, since the fan dissent around the film was largely a local Western phenomenon, and not something that has affected the film's perception in Asian territories, for instance...where it remains popular).

Or maybe it's a combination of both. Who knows.

On the subject of Phantom Menace merchandise, how can we forget this classic?

Because every fan's dream is surely to tongue Jar Jar.

That's nothing. Over at the once-revered and beloved Jedi Council Forums, you can actually get banned from threads for using the word "Mary Sue".

Would you like to guess when the mods instituted that draconian policy? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't when Lucas still owned the brand.

You could actually say no and stand with House Cortess if you wish. Vector's forced to fight alongside you against his own kind.

SWTOR's not a bad game but some of it's storylines aged reeeaaaal poorly.

Depends. The Republic storylines were at most, standard capeshit stuff. Especially the Jedi Knight, where for some reason, the Sith Emperor who turned Revan into his prison bitch can't keep you as a prison bitch for long and you strike him down like he's a fat man taking a dive in a wrestling match for a box of chocolates.

The agent, it depends on your taste. The Bounty Hunter and Sith storylines, however, were the best. Especially since you get to teach the Jedi a thing or two about humility, and you get to do the same to the Sith, especially if you're a light-sided Sith or Bounty Hunter who doesn't fall for their ''anger and hate'' BS.

It's funny; the Sith Emperor actually advises you against being the standard Sith in the Sith Warrior storyline. At one point in Belsavis, if you as the Warrior talk about your hatred for the enemy powering you, the Sith Emperor says something along the lines of ''anger is a mortal fuel, it burns bright, but leaves the tank empty,'' meaning that while it gives you a temporary boost, it just burns you out in the end, and you're better off not tying yourself to it. The Sith equivalent to a pope-emperor openly tells you that Sith dogma is bullshit more than once, especially if you count the DLC expansions.

I was mostly fine with the story there, it's just the level design felt like it was made specifically to waste your time. It was fun to force Vector to murder his entire hive though.

Nah, the Imperial Agent is probably the best of the og class stories, it's just... You get reminded that SWTOR's still an mmo with all the padding slapped on. Many of the quests are structured around a lot of modern conveniences not being in the base game.

Ironically, I think the Inquisitor was the worst story, but their Alderaan was actually pretty good since you finally get to act like the Palpatine-esc schemer the class is built up to be.

The Warrior had to be low-key pissed when the Emperor then turned around and went "Now, Jadus, that's a Chad Sith! You could learn a thing or two from him, Pussy."

Hell i can rant about SWTOR all day. Imperial Agent is a good story, but it loses points because it's not nearly as connected or far reaching as people make it out to be. Like how Darth Jadus and his whole never actually goes anywhere because it's time for the stupid galactic conspiracy theory. Inquistor is one of my favorites but I feel like the whole "being a slave" thing in the backstory really doesn't factor into your character.

 

[Screamer_2]

The CGI doesn't suck for the space battles in Rogue One. You're either doing the lame "I know it's CGI and it's therefore bad" thing or watching a shitty-quality version.

As for The Phantom Menace being the most watched film on Disney+. One thing to consider is people starting a watch through and abandoning.

One problem the OT has is that there's a sour aspect watching them now because of the sequels. It lowers the emotions because you know there's no happily ever after. People talked about the prequels raping their childhood, which was over blown rhetoric. but the sequels actually did that. Which is since they positioned themselves as making things right.

It just seems like it's best to talk him out of trying that coup and he just leaves the story, no more plot threads left dangling. If you serve him, he just runs off and gives you some authority, but that's it. Then he sends two Sith after you to get the Black Codex.

My guess is, Jadus was trying to watch what the Emperor was doing, since he sent his servant to tell you to help her track the royal guard. Then the Emperor found out about it and killed him, which is why he does not reappear in the later stories.

You'd think this fucker would've taken over the Empire in KOTFE. I mean, he is the most qualified, and no matter what you did, he survived. Imagine the Hand of Jadus returning to the Empire, to see their master now proclaim himself Emperor and turn the Dark Temple into a monument to his glory.

SWTOR could have been a great KOTOR game if it didn't have to kowtow to the mmo genre. As it stands it’s an alright game, but the monetization scheme they went with just sucks the fun out of it. (I paid for the game at launch and had 90% of the features I paid for taken from me when the game went f2p)

as a former sub you'd be a preferred account (or whatever the name was), basically the system knew you were not a freeloader/bot since you already dropped money which was mostly the point of the different account tiers. as preferred you still got access to most stuff that actually mattered to gameplay.

but tbh even as a total free account the limitations were not that severe. like people complaining about limited hotbars when a) you don't need that many slots in the beginning anyway and b) you could buy them on the market for 300k (the f2p limit, thus the max it could be sold to f2p accounts, and subs/accounts with unlocked bars obviously have no use for them anyway). people often ignore or didn't know that you could sell pretty much everything on the market compared to other games with lootboxes.

later updates might've changed that. f2p also meant you could play it basically as an always-online kotor since the EXP rate was so high at times you could skip all exp filler quests and didn't have to group for it.

there's your answer

Wow, this franchise must be deader than dead if we're wanking off legends again

 

[RiceofSkywalker]

And it's not just "consoomer" quality goods like a collector's popcorn bucket or something you regret buying even a few years after the hype of the movie

My Rogue Juan metal popcorn bucket, one of the very few pieces of shit merch I own from the Mouse era is rusting and collecting dust on a shelf, unused.

I keep it with Vader facing me and the "Rebels" facing the wall.

It's do dead, its owners are re-re-releasing the Prequels.

J. J. Abrams said he was inspired by the Darth Plagueis the Wise to bring back Papa Palpatine because it was his favourite scene of all Star Wars.

Bitch, you would go your way not to aknowledge the prequels because, riding the wave of boomer fans who wanted you to do so, you were intending to rewrite them and, if things had gone KK's way, the whole of Star Wars would have been scrapped and replaced.

I was mostly upset by losing access to races and character slots. I made a few characters at the start to try out race/class combos with the intention of going back later to try out others. It’s been too long for me to remember specifics, but when the game went f2p I suddenly had to pay for previously available options and had to decide which characters that I had already made and progressed on to delete to try out those options.

Ironically, the KOTOR stuff was probably the weakest part. I remember being pissed about what they did to Revan and the Exile. One of the SWTOR's biggest missteps was Eternal Empire stuff though. It created a new status quo that the writers and/or corporate was clearly not ready to commit too so now it's in this awkward limbo where they kinda want to go back to Republic vs Empire but also want to keep doing the Third Party stuff.
