First off, I am a BH by trade.The majorityof my missions are marks and I hate PvP. Don't get confused by my signature. I am not trying to be an uber PKer. No one hated Jango Fett for not using his LLC on Obi Wan(not that it would have done much).


Please stop trolling and flaming the pistoleer boards. It is really counter-productive to both professions. Help fix BH and leave them alone. There really is no point to cultivating this hate between the two professions. Let the pistoleers try and fix their problems while we try and fix ours. Fixing ours does not mean ruining someone else's fun.


I don't post here much because I use the boards more when I can help someone new or for comic relief by flaming some of the punk kids. Helps pass the time at work.


One question. I am very close to Investigation I, but is it a better idea not to levelthat lineuntil I can level to Investigation II? I was given that advice before I got novice and now I wonder if it is still a good idea.




May the force be yours without fear, compromise, or mercy

They simply have been constantly coming in here and trolling/flaming every issue that the real BHs in here have posted. There are several monkeys that constantly keep doing this, and I'm tired of it.


I think they have reaped what they've sown. So I have no qualms about our boys going over there and spanking them into submission.

I don't think you can address the BH community without also sending the same message to the Pistoleers. I don't know how many BH's troll the Pistoleer board because mostly I just read the BH threads, but I can tell you they come over here spouting inane nonsense about our profession on a daily basis.


I do not post in their forum, but after reading through a lot of the posts over there, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that a lot ofPistoleersposting here ARE part of the BH problem. Not all of course, but many.


I'll tell you one thing, when the nerf bat hits us again, you'll know who fought hardest to make it happen...

NERF THE TROLLING!!! The Pistoleers are allowed to troll this board way more than we troll theirs, it's not fair. We've spent far more time trolling than they have, and they claim they should be allowed to troll just as well, because that's all they do. Sure, we have had to troll on the CH boards, and the carbine boards, and whatnot...but, that's what we do!!! We spend far more time trolling than they do, so we should be better at it. They think they can just come troll one lousy forum and be the troll kings? No way, it's not fair. We should PWNZ all trolls. Until they learn how to troll more than one forum, we shall be the troll kings!!!

Here is my conspiracy theory....


Sony knew it was going to develop EQ2.....they needed money because they knew it would be a long term project. It was also going to take a long time to develop. So in the mean time, this other project happened along called Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.


I'm sure it started out as an idea that would grow to be a long term project, but somewhere along the way it became a short term investment to make alot of money to help Sony get through the down time of developing EQ2.


So SWG comes out and they learn that this is a quagmire they have gotten themselves into...the just put band-aid fixes on problems because they know it won't last long and they can dedicate total resources to EQ2.


So I think that SWG will die soon and SOE has made a fantastic profit. This is a shame because if they had just invested the same effort as other developers have, then this game would blow every other game out of the water. The possibilities are endless, if they had given better content, and thought through issues before releasing anything.


Oh well SOE, time is almost done, and you can get rid of SWG like you had always planned and leave those of us who were looking forward to this game for the longest time in the dark once again hoping and waiting for some good developers to take the reigns and make this the game we had all hoped for.


by the way, this is all tongue in cheek commentary, but its an interesting thought that it COULD have happened that way.

Can you tell me who killed JFK?


No, but seriously, I don't think that's completely honest but I do believe that the best SOE developers and the best of the core concept teams are working on EQ2 and the rest of the fodder are working on SWG.


EQ2 is an "original" concept and their pride and joy. SWG is .. okay. Lucas Arts just chose the wrong development team for the game. They should have gone in house and found a group with a deep commitment to the game. SOE has close to 300,000 subscribers in this game but for EQ2 the amount of subscribers will easily push over 750,000. There are already polls on this so you may be right to an extent.


When the game reaches over 500,000 for EQ2 there is simply no reason to invest time in SWG and I wouldn't be surprised if they turned the game over to Lucas Arts and let them hang alone heh.

i'm all for Lucas Arts handling it, but I heard that Lucas wanted to pull the Star Wars license from SOE and Microsoft wanted it.


Not sure about that, but that would be interesting.

Actually maybe you need a better video card then. The movie is "not" the game. It is the explanation of the game. I've played in the beta and believe me when I tell you, the graphics put SWG and any other game to shame, to SHAME!. As for the fantasy storyline crap, what do you have in SWG? Oh that's right - nothing! As for EQ2, the content for quests is all voice overed so if you don't want the voices turn them off. Otherwise it pulls you in that much more. Go ahead and keep playing this lame arse game then.

no...you guys are in denial..lol

the graphics look absurd....I saw the long game footage video. As i said, the characters are totally hokey and don't even look realistic. Body proportions are cartoon-like, and the character movement is just sad.Seeing a hunting group running towards a dragon just made me burst out in laughter. Maybe the texturing is more detailed than SWG, butSWG has the best character modeling/movement i've ever seen, and EQ2 doesnt even come close!
