I'm a warzone addict, and leveled my 55 op healer (and 50 SW) largely via WZs (not the quickest way, but probably the most fun), as I am likewise spending half my time leveling a 44 Sentinel repub side now. Looking for a guild to queue with on either side, and will likely end up spending my time on whichever side I can find a good PVP-oriented group in the endgame. Looking for a mature group, as, being a married man in my thirties, I'm tolerant of youthful silliness, but don't really prefer to immerse myself in it. I'm also up for RP. I'm a tabletop RPGer of many years, so that's territory I'm happy to go into. But I'm more for injecting RP into every day gameworld interactions than writing elaborate character histories, as - let's be honest - SWTOR doesn't have the mechanics for deep RP characterisation. We do our best with what we have.

I'm interested in finding a guild which does plenty of WZ queueing, and some RP events/participation is definitely a plus. My 51 Op Healer has been my main for quite a while (50 Jug before that), but I'm playing around with Republic alts at the moment, so I'll play either side if I find a good group, as I'm kind of on the fence, under the circumstances. PvE progression isn't really my interest, but I'm happy to run FPs/Ops if folks are keen. Mainly, a group to queue for WZs with, and possibly do some RP with would be great.

Yeah, I enjoy healing, and am not sufficiently turned off by the fact that, as healers, we are the constant target of the entire opposing team's single-target DPS, and lack any real means of retaliating against or reacting to this state of affairs. It's something you live with, or are driven away by, I figure. It doesn't drive me away. I still like healing.

Even astromech droids are sapient, in the Star Wars universe. Sure, any sapient being is due the that which is inherently due to thinking persons. Obviously, the empire would disagree.

Taking in a canon like Star Wars, it's impossible not to make analogies to our own world. From a genre standpoint, it's mythology and it's fantasy in the broadest possible scope. It echoes themes from history and the human experience. From within that history and human experience, then, which people do you look to as reflecting the principles and the political forces which define conflict in the Star Wars universe? Who is our own history's greatest Jedi? Who our greatest Sith? Obviously, my sig gives an indication of one individual who I think to reflect a profoundly Sith outlook. It's appealing and trivial to point to a virtuous historical political, philosophic or spiritual figure as reflecting the light side, and a despicable figure in one of these categories as reflecting the dark. But I tend to think there's more to the Empire and the Republic, more to the Light Side and Dark, than merely being Bad or Good. So who are earth's greatest Sith, and who its greatest Jedi?

The more apt comparison, as far as Earth venues go, might be historic Kowloon Walled City, of which so many (Hong Kong action) films have been made. An immensely dense, chaotic hive of activity, whose only law consists in control by the gangs which rule it.

The idea that there would be no viable revenue model for subsequent expansion content just strikes me as incomprehensible. And thus an absence of such content seems profoundly unlikely. If there aren't further expansions, someone's completely out of their mind upstairs (and I don't think EA is out of their mind when it comes to revenue models). One possibility is that "expansions" move decisively towards a "pay to play content" approach consistent with the F2P foundations of the product. And consequently, the idea of "expansions" as discrete products (as if they were boxes sitting on retail shelves) well and truly dies, for the simple reason that it doesn't reflect the present reality at all. That's fine with me. I'm not married to the idea of a content distribution system which pretends it's 1996 for the rest of time.

When I undertook playing my light side Sith Warrior, I couldn't help appreciating (though I did not use, as my character was going in the opposite direction) the various options for actively antagonising Vette as a companion. I'm curious: are there other companions which are interesting not just as "best friend forever" life partners, but as unfriendly allies in a problematic world which sometimes brings together the wrong people for the wrong reasons? It's something one seldom sees in RPGs. The idea that the PC should always be kowtowing to those who fall in with him/her - that all characters will always seek the affection/friendship of every crewmate that happens to end up on their ship - it clearly doesn't jive with an even slightly realistic approach to characterisation. So if we aren't just saying what our companions want us to say, all the time, it's great to have antagonisms and unpleasantries which are actually developed. From the bits of Dark Side I saw along my light side path, I get the impression the Sith Warrior storyline gave that approach some attention. Do other storylines?
