Something I've Noticed About Rpers

Does no one remember Grand Moff Tarkin bossing Vader around?

To the OP: There's a lot of bad rp on fleet. /end thread.

To answer more seriously, rp is essentially a combination of writing, acting and improv. Not everyone is equally skilled and a lot of people fail to play to the lore, but rather play to how they want to act. They don't want to bow to a sith, so they don't. That's not to say you need to rp a lackey, but a big part of the stories is not getting killed by sith, that should apply to rp too. By the same token, people playing sith should leave a little wiggle room for other rpers. If the only way to deal with yr character is to grovel, people aren't going to want to rp with you much

Also, fleet rp tends to be the most casual rp. Out there in the galaxy, people are creating stories and building their own stories based on lore--and not talking about sedition or how light side they are openly. . If you were to see that instead of cantina rp, it would prob be more reflective of what you'd expect to see.

Of course, some people are just Mary Sues. And to be fair, the rp on the republic side can be just as problematic. That's a hell of a lot of naked jedi drinking heavily in the cantina and behaving badly while considering themselves excellent members of the order, lol.

even still you get my point though right? shes a non-force sensitive person who told off a Sith Lord and then got him choked out after he told her to watch her mouth... I believe her exact word prior to doing so was, "Unfortunate choice of words" then she looked to her left and out popped her best friend and she (without hesitation) choked him out and then the Sith Lord ran away with his tail between his legs lol

and position really doesnt matter much... Sith are pretty much taught to fight and kill for power so any if it means teaming up with an agent and killing a few people (in-game) to teach people to fear the agent and his pals then let it be lol

Me personally, i would talk back and be as condescending as possible if someone told me to shut my mouth. No Sith would dare tell me off... and let it be a PvP server... id swap to my scoundel ASAP and teach them a lesson and then talk in "/say" so they know its me (the guy/gal they just told to shut up and know my place).

Cipher Agents = Training, Equipment and Combat Prowess comparable to a Jedi Master of COuncil or a Dark Council Lord.

Basically, 007 + Jason Bourne.

Hm I really dont like how jedi and sith have been made into common things ever since anything beyond the original trilogy.

It used to be more mystical, more special.

To me it seems that to kill a jedi or sith, non force users would have to plan it out more, you know?
Just like batman would have to plan to take down superheroes with special powers.

I'd imagine the average jedi or sith would be caught unaware by a sniper, could be strangled in their sleep, and traps could work just fine. In a battlefield with many people there they can't avoid everything either.

But in a straight up one on one fight without preperation, I'd say a force user would have a huge advantage. They can pull your weapons from your hands, push your projectiles back at you, create doubt and fear in your mind, convince you you dont want to fight, and many other unexpected force powers that you can't account for. Might even throw your own spaceship at you.

Yeah cause this sounds like it'd be fun in game, just having a Sith and Jedi work you over... In a movie it's fine for them to be OP but in a game no one would play the other classes. And the player is suppose to be the best of the best. When you choose Sniper, you are no ordinary Sniper. When you are a Trooper, you are not just any Trooper. Even though there are thousands of said Troopers players and Snipers around, they aren't just some guy/girl with a gun, they are the elite of the elite. But the mystique around Jedi and Sith are lost due to the high popularity and population of characters in different media but they are still pretty cool.

GL ruined the prequels by completely de-valuing Jedi. He just threw 100s of them on screen and made it apparent he didn't care about his previous "lore." HEY LOOK, MORE LIGHTSABERS.

However, as far as I understand, in the OLD republic Jedi were another sect of warriors and much more common.

On the contrary, I 'love' the fact that the Jedi/Sith aren't seen as demi-gods in this setting. Troopers aren't afraid of going after them. Agents aren't afraid of challenging them if the odds are in their favor.

Oh, you can shoot lighting from your hands? That's cool. Here, have a High Explosive mortar round to the face, Darth Concussion.

In Old Republic, Jedi were fairly common, as there were much more Force-sensitives (or methods of their searching were more extensive). After Ruusaan reformation (1000 BBY), Jedi were stripped of their military ranks, they military hardware, and remained mainly consultants and teachers.
And Jedi in prequels are not that bad, it is obvious that there were more of them, guarding peace in the galaxy, before the Empire came.

The way GL presented them was....terrible. IMO. I pretty much agree with the way Red Letter Media covers it. It turned into a lightsaber orgy and it was...dumb.

Probably getting off topic. Thank you for the info.
