Star Wars: TOR

The newly released Star Wars is a pretty cool game I must say. I've played with a Sith Inquisitor 'till lvl 38 where I stopped for various reasons.

After 3 years of WoW gameplay I think this game is a very good rival, because it has almost all the elements of WoW except the smoothness that Blizzard had 8 years to accomplish. I personally think this game will end up to become the first legit rival of WoW in about 2 years or so of adding content and tweaking game play.

What I like the most about SWTOR is the detailed questing campaign they've designed. There are a total of 4 playable classes, and each class has a completely different story lines, but the beauty of it all is that it takes every class to the same areas!

I personally think that they've completely changed the online questing experience with the Dark Side/ Light Side choices and Companion favoritism. A questing system basically copied from Mass Effect by BioWare gives it a single-player game questing feel with a MMO edge to it where you can bring party members into it.

There are many aspects to this game that are still very flawed, but it has barely been released and I think they've released it pretty well!

Don't agree with me? I'd very much like input from players/enthusiasts! This game is like no other and can be discussed in length in most aspects.

I haven't played it yet, but I liked what you wrote. It seemed fairly unbiased and informative. I've been thinking about getting it. I probably won't buy it for a few months, maybe until after they release a couple of content patches and fix many of the early bugs that are often rampant in new games.

:thup:

Sith Inquisitor was great, ha. Probably the most exciting quest line out of all the classes, I'm glad I picked it first (or not? maybe if I picked it second I would have enjoyed it more? I don't know). It was good either way.

I agree with mostly what you've said. It's definitely one of the best MMORPGs that I've played. Like you said, still a lot of flaws, and I remember finding quite a few (funny) bugs during the beta, but the little things aside, it's very fun, especially if you're a fan of Star Wars. I wouldn't say that it's "like no other" but it does take a lot of positive points from various games and improve upon and put them in together nicely.

I played in the beta and was not impressed. Maybe MMORPGs are just not for me. I found it boring and ugly to look at. No way am I paying full price and a monthly fee for it.

I still have like 5 games on the back burner so there would be no reason to play this either.

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I'm looking at a solid 378 guests, but 3 members. Of which two are me and VSNES. The third is unlisted, which makes me think its a ghost.

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
