Forgot about knockback.

for those who have been inactive from swtor for a long time and don't have an active subscription. just a headsup as confirmed from the 7.6 livestream highlight:

devs are going to do a name purge on inactive characters. So log on to your game before 7.6 drops.

Little doodle of my trooper and Aric because I haven’t drawn any SWTOR in way too long even though I’m still obsessed with it

I think what I really like about SWTOR — compared to other stuff in Star Wars that I've seen — is that you get to see the Sith Empire in a way that allows for very complex characters to exist without needing to redeem them because you can play as an Imperial.

And yes, I know that down the line they sort of resort to little redemption arcs here and there, but for the most part, all four Imperial side stories are full of very complex evil characters and I think it's interesting that we get to see the Empire through these lenses.

It also allows you to play within that setting in different ways than standard Star Wars content usually is (good vs bad and the bad is usually a sad sob story about some padawan-turned-inquisitor or something in that line), making the stories much more compelling, in my opinion.

Overall, you also see the intricacies of everything bad within the Empire and you see how it is such a well-oiled machine created by the Emperor for his own plans, yet there is something so wrong with their meritocracy that the Empire ultimately falls due to its own infighting.

I've played the Sith Warrior origins a million times and I never get tired of the politics it entails. You see these side quests full of Imps and Sith struggling to keep the Empire afloat and you get these companions that show you what it means to be Sith outside of the Empire's bubble.

I wish more Star Wars content showed evil under more detailed lighting, because there is a lot of interesting things that could have been explored with the new content except every single story either has evil that is beyond reasonable or evil that has to be redeemed because they were good once upon a time (and that is booooring).

Hearing mando'a voice lines in SWTOR also never fails to make me giddy because omggg that's an officially-sanctioned interpretation of mando'a pronunciation even if it's Legends :DDDD Hearing idek who, maybe Kur Ha'rangir, say "ib'tuur jatne tuur… ash'ad kyr'amur!" during our battle made me totally lose focus and almost die in-game because I got so excited I dropped my mouse off the edge of the desk and had to fumble around for it. I also had the same reaction to the besalisk droids lol. Now, I don't necessarily know that it's what we would consider accurate pronunciations because it's such a huge project and it sounds like different VAs pronounce the same words differently, but whatever, right? I'm sure mando'a has tons of dialects and pronunciations. Infinite free passes for all of you god bless

people catastrophizing about "swtor's dying, this mmo's dead and no one plays it anymore" versus the couple of new people a year i see posting swtor for the first time. brings a tear to the eye yanno.

[relentless-endurance]

please laugh i spent time on this

[tiredassmage]

friends. how would we feel if the sith warrior was also in the children of the emperor pipeline?

[pentacass]

still kinda disappointed they didn't do anything funny with ms lana 'afraid of heights' beniko in the ruins of nul. i mean look at this broken shitshow of stairs and the fatal fall just one misstep away

don't tell me she wouldn't have some sort of reaction to it. and don't tell me 'oh she needs to be strong and cool in front of rivix/tau' no. nonono. this woman's been strong and cool for years. she's too protected. let her be a loser for once. let her be a failgirl. it's time.

Been a little while, but Kiddo and I are dipping our toes back into SWTOR. Tonight she wanted to make a brand new Jedi Knight (I will post pics and info on her new character if we wind up playing a bit more!)

But Kiddo had some concerns.

Me: Let me guess. You're excited for the flirts. Kiddo: I AM. I WANNA FLIRT WITH THE PIRATE!!! Me: What pirate? Kiddo: THE ONE FHALX FLIRTS WITH!!! Me: You only get him as a Sith Inquisitor. You're playing a Jedi Knight. Kiddo: BUT I WANT TO FLIRT WITH HIM! HE'S THE ONLY HANDSOME GUY IN THE GAME!!! Me: Okay, you're not WRONG, he's very good looking...but if you want to flirt with Andronikos, you have to play your Sith Inquisitor. Kiddo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

sometimes you just gotta return to the oldies *dives back into SWTOR*

[sheyshen]

i gotta say i do miss the chapter format from kotfe/kotet, i wish they kept up with that to kinda give players a way to navigate or revisit parts of the story easily
