How to get hundreds of millions or billions of credits?
AlrikFassbauer replied to darkcollin's topic in General Discussion
This is called "herd intellgence" : One comes up with a fantasy price - and everyone follows that - or tries to top it - blindly - like a blind herd of followers always doing what the first one did - and then re-doing what everyone else does. There's a saying : "Millions of flies cannot lie." -
Which made me play another MMORPG besides SWTOR - one that forces me to actually think about mechanics ! And with "mechanics" I actually mean "rules", like what kinds of dice thrown, for example ...

Hello, via a soon closing RPG News site (RPGWatch), I came across this article : "Why do modern MMOs feel so different than old ones ?" https://www.mmorpg.com/editorials/why-do-modern-mmos-feel-so-different-than-old-school-ones-2000124945 There are several points I agree with, and a lot I find fitting with SWTOR. My comments on several points within this article : - agreed - agreed - agreed - agreed - VERY MUCH AGREED - partially agreed This is to me like showing everything that happened with SWTOR in the past in a nutshell.

Hello, I often get remembered of Monty Python's "Not To Be Seen" when I play PvP or GSF (which is seldom enough). I mean - everyone who's seen it will agree, I assume. It's basically ... try to work for your own group mostly unseen. This applies almost only on objective PvP / GSF though. In Arenas, everyone knows where everyone else is - except for stealthers, of course. Alrik

There are people on either side loving it to destroy things for others : AFK ones Premades Premades might even consist of like-mindes people who love to hinder others from having fun - this exists in RL as well. It's like "look how he tries to get rid of us !" followed by a laugh. Some people find good feelings in destroying the fun of others, no matter which way they do it. Here, in these forums, the defenders of premades seem not to realize that, that there might be premade players among them who do so. And those accused of being AFK - well, they ruin as well, but in a different way. And being AFK in GSF means a different thing than for PvP - except Arena and Hypergate. So you'll have to be careful how you word it. In the end, PvP is often meant by the self-proclaimed "real" PvPers as a game "not for the sensitive ones", so to say, as for them - the self-called "real ones" it is only "all or nothing", and an expression of adrenaline. I can imagine young men - especially men - saying "but it was fun ruining their game !" followed by a group-collective laughter - but 20 years later tthe same ones who had so much fun in destroying the game of others might actually become angry because "one looney destroyed the game for my son" or "for my daughter". I tend to think that this is all a matter of perspective - and that some PvPers just don't want to get into the perspective of others. They simply wand adrenaline and want to feel great - even if this means by destroying the fun of weaker ones. This is in my opinion even a hedonistic or even a narcistic move : Make others feel bad so that the own self feels better. The problem is, that PvP has to live with that.

I'd also like to see how the new hair styles look like. I haven't seen any screenshot yet, either. -

In a few Fantasy settings, female Drwaves do have beards, too.

New inventory literally hurts the eyes of people
AlrikFassbauer replied to Stradlin's topic in General Discussion
FULLY agreed upon ! I have HUGE perception problems with empty squares having borders like full ones have ! Plus, junk has almost the same colour as empty ones have ! And items not available for the own class, too. -
Wikipedia calls this the "Matthew Effect".
