Yes wink
Actually, I have been very busy the past couple of weeks with two jobs and for the past week I have been courting a young lady. Amanda whom may of you met at the BBQ at Reanna's house.
But, I do pop on to SWG from time to time so hope to catch you around soon.

Well, I haven't been online honestly because I've really lost intrest... again. Everyone says, "Lets get online and do something", so we all log on, and then we just sit around and chat, or we run a smuggling mission and get bored to tears... there's not many "fun" things to do as a group in that game anymore, I'm open to suggestions though, if someone has an idea of something exciting and fun we could all do, post here. I've got my sights set on Pirates of the Burning Sea, but it's still in beta, should come out this fall, looks like it will be a fun game (with smuggling grin ).

Also, most of my free time lately has been sucked up by SpoCon. SIGH

Ya know ...

Daramin and I have aspirations of attaining Master Pilot some day. He and Kaelee are still in Tier 2, but I (Tuleen) just started Tier 3. (Actually, I really liked the Ixian Attack Ship, and I'm now flying one.)

We could REALLY use your help in advancing, with the end game, taking on a Corellian Cruiser.

You interested in helping?

BTW, Kaelee had her first success at Space Mining and actually got some Sulfurous Asteroid (65 units. Ya, not much.) YOU'RE RIGHT! It's really hard! I hear Daramin ran CAP for her, and she blasted and BLASTED that Asteroid and only got 1 chunk off. She's got a Mark I Mining Laser and a Medium Cargo Hold (1600) for one of her Dunnelizards. Seems to work, though. But, yes, it's VERY slow going. We could always try Mining with your Y8 again. Would it help running CAP for it, instead of manning turrets?

Hey the Asteroid Mining Adventures are going well. Kaelee mined enough today to build that Tractor Beam she wanted.

Now she's got her sights on a bigger Cargo Hold for her Dunnelizard. (She has a Medium Cargo hold right now - 1300 units.) Once she has this, she can start collecting enough resources for your Elite POB Ship Components.

Today, I flew CAP for her while she mined Crystal Asteroids in Dathomir. Pirates showed up once (4 of them;) they were Tier 4. With the Ixiyen Fast Attack Fighter I have, outfitted with lvl 4,5 Weapons and Mark II missiles, they got dispatched pretty quickly. We didn't see them again. I might have Kaelee outfit me with a Mining Laser as well, and her old Cargo Hold. No sense in me just hanging around when I could be helping to mine. wink

Who'd a thought an old pirate like me would actually enjoy mining; not as much as killing bad guys, of course, or moving illicit goods, but it's an interesting diversion. "You can take the boy away from pirates, but you can't take the pirate out of the boy."

Kaelee's a good kid; eager to work hard. She's also a real people pleaser, so look out! (Don't tell her I told you so!) You don't always know what she's thinking. She has this way of letting you think you know what she's thinking, you know, like transparently. But, deep inside there's more going on, and it's hard to reach her there. She can react completely opposite to the way you expect - typical woman. Sometimes, I wish her Dad hadn't run off to Coruscant, and left me to look after her. I know he needed to get back to his Medical Career, but sometimes it's hard ya know? (You owe me Simon!)

She's got a new boyfriend now named Daramin. Seems nice. But, she got all freaked out the other day, meeting the whole PlanX gang, and called me in a panic. I, of course, came running; what's an uncle to do, right? Then looked stupid for showing up for no apparent reason. Maybe Daramin can figure out how to make her feel secure - Lord, knows I could stand a break! happy

Ah, well, I'm rambling again.

Good news about the Asteroid Mining, huh?

Signing off ...

Tuleen

Honestly, space stuff is boring now, it was interesting the first time through, but after that it's just a grind. I'd have a hard time staying motivated or interested, since I can shoot most craft down in a few shots. I don't know, nothing in SWG is new or interesting anymore... sure, they're "adding" things to the game, but really they're just replacing things that they took out with the NGE, only the new systems are slightly different. Maybe if they added new profession based dynamic mission systems, or new clothes, or new houses, that might make it interesting, the customizable furniture addition is cool, but not cool enough to make me log in and buy some yet. When Pirates of the Burning Sea comes out, I'll probably upgrade my account to the Station Access account, so that I can play both PotBS and SWG, but most likely PotBS will be my primary RP experience, new ground, interesting mechanics, super customizability, and also swashbuckling, that is savory. Anyway... back to the grind.

Geez Uncle Tuleen! "people pleaser" ?? Well, not any more, let me tell you!!

BTW, Daramin and I broke up a few days back. Said he was off to join the Rebellion or something. He didn't know when he was coming back or IF. He didn't want me pining away for him, so he decided to cut me loose. MEN! angry

Save yourself the heartbreak wink The game will almost certainly not live up to whatever expectations you may have.

I'm sorry if the conversation came off that way because that was not the intention.

/whisper Daramin is in so much trouble

Man! John! "I can't get no S-A-T-I-S-F-A-C-T-I-O-N!!" rolling_eyes

John, YOU got me into this game almost 2 years ago, and you were SOOO excited about it. Now, I'M an ADDICT! And, as you know, my life is very busy with *all* the kids I have, but I still am able to squeeze in time to have *TONS* of Fun in Galaxies. (Hopefully, without making my beautiful wife angry with me!) There is still TONS I haven't even tried yet! (I've purchased BOTH the Rage of the Wookies, and Trials of Obi-Wan expansions, and haven't even scratched the surface of these. I finally just tried Space Mining!)

Have you taken on the Avatar Space Platform? That supposed to be tough enough, that you need a group of people to do it!

Have you explored all of Kashyyyk? There a ton there as well!!

Have you tried participating in the Galactic War? Create a new character and go fight!

Have you taken on a Krayt Dragon? They're supposed to be pretty tough as well! Group Adventure.

There is SO much in this "game" that I haven't even tried yet! (And I have 3 different Characters on one Server!)

All of this doesn't take into account the possible Role Playing that's possible in this game. Erich and I have had a lot of fun with that recent (even if it DID freak some of you out!) grin


I know that it's not the Virtual Reality Game you are really looking for - but still, it's pretty good! IMHO, it's just not possible to create, market, and make money with a game that would meet your expectations. Just have fun with what's here!


Maybe you should try only playing the game an hour or 2 at a time - then maybe you wouldn't get burned out so bad!! grin


Your friend,

Gerry

Too much to quote, Gerry, but I agree with your points.
And you even freaked me out with some of the roleplay grin
As far as SWG goes, I have discovered one thing and that is you have to take the game as it is, not what it was. I still find it to be one of the more fun space games and I like the idea of being able to decorate your ship and home.
I have also found that some of the quests are more interesting and immersing in the game world than I had originally thought. I originally thought of quests and grinding points where you would run through them as quickly as possible, but they prove to be more interesting and more personal than I had thought they would be.
I think that SWG, while far from perfect, has a bit of potential, even if it doesn't live up to expectations. But then, I don't have high expectations of games- I still enjoy playing Intelivision! dancing

8 bit fun!
