rofl, that Drall camp was awesome.. what a shock, to not be able to kill everything in the universe anymore. After I died I was all "Well, guess I'd better settle up and get back out there"--and then I looked up and saw my radar at the cloner's filled with green dots.

I was really ignoring how useful medic stuff is. Me and Aladdin were owning the Meatlumps after everybody else took off. Gotta get us some strategery today.

It was great fun seeing and fighting with you all yesterday, though. It was like being in the forums.. in real time! And under constant threat of death by durnis!

MIst; "Tethered means you've tied the specific creature to a small area in which to run around in. Rooted means you plant them in one spot.

When their name glows, I believe (I could be wrong, but I think this is right) that the creature you're looking at is in combat, either with you, another creature, or someone else. "

Bizzare...I started shooting at a baby kreetle and the whole time I ran around with it every shot displaying "Tethered" and I couldn't kill it. It could still attack me though and it's name was glowing. I didn't notice the glowing names on the other things I was shooting at.

I'll try again I guess.

Grrr.

Why couldn't you???

How you do it... goto "Create New Tab" Then goto "Join Chat Channel" then you "Modify Tab" but make sure you've clicked on the new tab and make sure its there...

I did that and it worked fine...

Or even easier type /chatroom join SIN It makes the box for you and everything

TC-5 was awesome I have never EVER been so happy to get Pistols 2. And getting owned by a durnie is always fun.

My thoughts about the CU is that I had an absolute, fricken blast! Things were VERY challenging and fun as hell. The UI was a little hard to interpret, and I'm not still too clear on how healing and combat work (with eachother).

It was AWESOME to have a large group of Team Low Blow to be beaten the **** out of by a newbie Drall Camp. It was INSANE!!!!

In the past... in the past... a Drall's combat animation was pitiful as hell. It was damn terrifying to see the muscles ripple down its back, as its powerful arms toss Tomo like a wheatharvesting combine ripping through the grain. This thing was like a Krayt. A Drall. It was terrible fun though

We all..... died.... every.. last.. one of us... *tremble*

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

And, BTW...

What the hell does "-Tethered-" mean when you shoot at a creature?

And what does it mean when it's name 'glows'?

I ran across both of those killing kreetles last night.

Tethered means you've tied the specific creature to a small area in which to run around in. Rooted means you plant them in one spot.

When their name glows, I believe (I could be wrong, but I think this is right) that the creature you're looking at is in combat, either with you, another creature, or someone else.

====================================================================================

Also, I'd like to add that I haven't had this much fun in a long time. I totally enjoyed hanging out with TLB and moving up the pistols tree. It's a very interesting thing, this CU. I have a couple issues I'd like to see smoothed out, but other than that, I think that it's going to be very interesting to see how this affects the playerbase (and potential playerbase.)

In some ways, it is like EQ2; however, it's not as much of a carbon copy as people like to cry that it is. I think they took some good things from EQ2, WoW, and MxO and implemented them in a good way. I know what SpinningCloud means about the icons...but then again, I was just as confused about our original icons when we started the game, so I don't know if I just need to get used to them, or they need tweaking a bit. I don't really mind the color, it's more of the detail in each one, it's a bit distracting, and kind of hard to see what the icon actually IS.

I've been having a blast on TC5 with you guys. Hopefully I'm not annoying or anything to anyone.

Honestly, I truly think that 5 weeks isn't enough to test a CU AND an expansion...but I suppose it must be done.

Anyway, just my .02 ... I'll be posting more later tonight with my full impressions.

Theed was a bustling commerce city...people hawked their wares, danced, laughed, dueled, and had a rollicking good time. Cantinas packed with Entertainers of every race, shape and size...along with scoundrels, Stormtroopers, and drunks. People grouped up and stuck together in the wilderness, and you ALWAYS took a Scout or a Ranger with you. We lived our own Star Wars saga. We created our own personas, our own histories, and it all blended into this wonderful, magical experience that I will always remember...

That magic is gone now, but I'd pay 50 bucks a month to have it back.
