I’m a mmo god. Hear me craft.

Published by under Blog,Crafting,Editorial,humor on Aug. 11. 2011.

Crafting. Yes crafting. The all elusive, god forbid, sucks to level, identical item, farm your ass off, kill a ni-hao slinging bot for a node, shoot your best friend in the face for a plot on dantooine… crafting.  I will admit it. I was a crafter.  Yes. the man you look at today, whom rated a whopping 4 in the wow arena system, the lord of murder, Flagg, the god of pvp carnage and utter destruction was a crafter.  All jokes aside, In SWG. I loved that shit.  LOVED it.  Lived for it. Hell, I’ll admit it. I sold gold (credits) to websites, that resold my gold.  I sold so much of it, i lived on it for 2 years….. no joke.  2200.00 a month. It was heaven.  Then it all changed… wait…what the fuck am i babbling on about now…. Oh the glory days. Back to it then… Crafting.

 

I really want to get back to it. I want an inquisitor for leveling (my full video on ustream thingy) but for gods sake, I want to grind and level a jedi knight crafter.  A “Force Architect”(@flagg20011-2099). if you will. The crystal making , lightsaber wielding mofo.   The man with the plan.  Or whatever.

 

The thing is, after reading a few 1/2 assed reviews on the crafting, then reading one post beta guy.. Shit, I cant wait.  He ranted and raved about it, being a crafter from swg himself. Good god that’s tough optimism  to try to break. He went on about how engaging it was, how wonderful it was to craft sex droids, how exciting it was to kill jawas and use their soul to fuel his deadly machine based one demons from….oh wait, wrong game.  The point is he loved it. And I’ll be honest here. I know a lot of people who talk out of school and said the same. The crafting system is fun as hell, unique, and phenomenal.

 

You know how hard it is to find a game with good engaging crafting? How utterly mindbogglingly hard?  Impossible is the proper term. It’s so bad it almost seems as if these days most companies throw it in as some sore-ass abused after-though of some overworked department full of burnouts.  Not so here, I hope.  How do you guys feel?  This week is my monthly questionnaire, first (and most likely only month) to do this before Derek and Serge shut me down like cancer in a radiation lab.

 

Q:  Are you excited about crafting?  If so, give 3 reasons.  If not, Post a link to a picture of a cool jawa.

Q: Have you ever thought about drawing or animating a sexy alien chick. Even after a drug fueled binge of “heavy metal” and peyote? if not, please tell us your favorite color, and a 300 word essay on what makes that color whup monkey-ass.

Q: Is time travel possible.  Seriously. I want to know.

Q:Do you play “World of Tanks” and when you kill a tank do you yell ” You underestimate the power of the dark side!”  IF not, explain why you like 90210 in less than 7 words.

Q: Ever get in an argument over your Halloween costume…after you turned 20?

Q: Is the only reason you like Harrison Ford at all:  A: HAN SOLO  /  B: INDIANA JONES   ?

Q: Is there a way to travel faster than light? Think, tachyon…

Q: Do you love swtor?

 

I eagerly await your ramblings!

/Flagg/

P.S. Notice the sarcasm and fucking lack of fucking cussing i did in the fucking article.  Wo-fucking-rd to your mothers uncle.

Love you all. Seriously….

    Q: Are you excited about crafting? If so, give 3 reasons. If not, Post a link to a picture of a cool jawa.
    A: YUS! Because if, as you said, its as fantastic, amazing, and awe inspiring as you have lead me to believe then why wouldn’t I be excited about it? Being able to create armor, weapons, upgrades from nothing makes me feel accomplished, but when I sell it for money! Oh the money. It just makes it that much better (I hope that was three)

    Q: Have you ever thought about drawing or animating a sexy alien chick. Even after a drug fueled binge of “heavy metal” and peyote? if not, please tell us your favorite color, and a 300 word essay on what makes that color whup monkey-ass.
    A: I’ll be honest with you, yes. All the time. The second part, yes. All the time.

    Q: Is time travel possible. Seriously. I want to know.
    A: Time is not something you can “travel” through. It’s a concept. There is no way you can physically travel through it besides sitting down and craftin’ it up in SWTOR. SWTOR is your key to time travel.

    Q:Do you play “World of Tanks” and when you kill a tank do you yell ” You underestimate the power of the dark side!” IF not, explain why you like 90210 in less than 7 words.
    A: I don’t play. I love 90210 on opposite day…shit.

    Q: Ever get in an argument over your Halloween costume…after you turned 20?
    A: Yes, I was a hockey player. 21 years old.

    Q: Is the only reason you like harrison ford at all: A: HAN SOLO / B: INDIANA JONES ?
    A: Han Jones. Indiana Solo. I like Indiana Solo better.

    Q: Is there a way to travel faster than light? Think, tachyon…
    Sure, why not? The whole “Infinite energy to travel at the speed of light” bullcrap is the work of the North Koreans.

    Q: Do you love swtor?
    A: Similar, but not exactly, to the relationship between a piece of cake and an obese child.

    1 sending my crew out to do shit for me
    2 have not crafted in a scify setting before should be fun
    3 I just love crafting in wow which as a game kinda blows so SW crafting should be the shit!

    I can barely manage stick figures

    Q: Is time travel possible. Seriously. I want to know.

    Einstein says maybe. I say no but I’m no Einstein

    Q:Do you play “World of Tanks” and when you kill a tank do you yell ” You underestimate the power of the dark side!” IF not, explain why you like 90210 in less than 7 words.

    No but I love tanks

    Q: Ever get in an argument over your Halloween costume…after you turned 20?

    WTF is with these questions

    Q: Is the only reason you like Harrison Ford at all: A: HAN SOLO / B: INDIANA JONES ?

    Nah he has done some ok stuff

    Q: Is there a way to travel faster than light? Think, tachyon…

    Nothing can move faster then the speed of light that does not mean x-distance in y-time is not its all about the wormholes baby

    Q: Do you love swtor?

    I’m in love with the idea of it, Im sure I will love the game hell I like wow but contend EQ was a much better game. SWTOR should blow em both out of the water

    Not only thought about it….

    Q: Is time travel possible. Seriously. I want to know.

    According to Einstein, yes. Because space and time are not separate.. they are parts of the same thing ie: Space-time. Now taking into account the famous E=mc^2 equasion that E (energy) equals m (Mass) times c (the speed of light) squared. In simple terms this means that there is a direct correlation between mass and energy and in theory one can convert energy into mass and vise versa which is what made atomic energy possible. But what does that have to do with time travel? Well, if one can can use energy to change and influence mass, then one can use energy to influence the fabric of space time and, given enough energy, can distort space-time in such a way to allow an object to move backwards and forwards in time…. well… at least that’s how I understand some of the most complex theories of physics ever thought up by mankind…

    Q:Do you play “World of Tanks” and when you kill a tank do you yell ” You underestimate the power of the dark side!” IF not, explain why you like 90210 in less than 7 words.

    Luke Perry is a god.

    Q: Ever get in an argument over your Halloween costume…after you turned 20?

    No …. I’ve got into an argument over some one else’s Halloween costume after the age of 20. Let’s just say Princess Leia was carrying a purple light saber.

    Q: Is the only reason you like Harrison Ford at all: A: HAN SOLO / B: INDIANA JONES ?

    A

    Q: Is there a way to travel faster than light? Think, tachyon…

    Faster than light travel is impossible according to Einstein. Basically because as one approaches the speed of light, the object traveling gains more and more mass causing the object to need more and more energy to continue to move it eventually getting to a point where an inconceivable level of energy is needed to continue to propel the object. There IS a loophole in this however. If one could convert the mass of the object (the space ship) into energy (e=mc2) temporarily then the object would have Zero mass, and we all know that no matter how many times you multiply Zero, you still get Zero.

    Q: Do you love swtor?

    Yes.

    That is all.

    omg this was so great! I love seeing you guys responses to Grants questions. They are all very entertaining.

    I now understand time travel so much better thanks SadRaidleader! 🙂

    Q: Are you excited about crafting? If so, give 3 reasons. If not, Post a link to a picture of a cool jawa.


    I have some Jawa porn I could share, but since I am excited about crafting you get my 3 reasons.
    The concept of crafting with many dependencies interests me greatly.
    This is the first game I have spent time looking for like minded crafters prior to launch so I am hopeful of landing on the same server as others as goofy about crafting as me.
    Reverse Engineering …. I mean come on …. if it even remotely doesn’t suck it will rock!

    Q: Have you ever thought about drawing or animating a sexy alien chick. Even after a drug fueled binge of “heavy metal” and peyote? if not, please tell us your favorite color, and a 300 word essay on what makes that color whup monkey-ass.


    Oh ….. See answer one, Jawa females ‘got back’. My favorite color is puce …. it is fun to say, most people (even myself) can’t easily describe what it looks like so it can change as needed.

    Q: Is time travel possible. Seriously. I want to know.


    Sadly the only time travel I have personally experienced was the neighbor kid walking by me with bell bottoms on …. seriously. Who gets to choose when fashions jump the time shark and get re-used.

    Q:Do you play “World of Tanks” and when you kill a tank do you yell ” You underestimate the power of the dark side!” IF not, explain why you like 90210 in less than 7 words.


    Come on …. Old people trying to act like young people. I swear some of the ‘high school-ers’ were close to retirement

    Q: Ever get in an argument over your Halloween costume…after you turned 20?


    Ok … don’t judge me but I went as a #2 pencil and almost punched a guy when he asked me if I was a banana

    Q: Is the only reason you like Harrison Ford at all: A: HAN SOLO / B: INDIANA JONES ?


    Han Solo … we all know you drew fist Han and we love you for it!!!!!

    Q: Is there a way to travel faster than light? Think, tachyon…


    The limitation it seems is how fast light travels, not really out speed so we need to a way to make light fatter, you know slow it down. I think having it watch a season of 90210 because there is no way light could keep from over-eating if trapped in front of a TV for a season of 90210. Of course, who ever was trying to travel faster than our new chubby light would need to get in shape, maybe PX90?

    Q: Do you love swtor?
    Its more of an infatuation, a long distance relationship, like with a woman in a jail We won’t know its really love till the ‘release’ date
