Bored Now...

With my entertainer, that is.

I just don't really see the point. Okay, so I can dance or play music, and other characters will watch or listen. Whatever. I stay in one place, listen to the same whingy little boys either trying to hit on my character, a female Twi'lek, or puffing up their chests and having pissing contests with one another. (Here's a tip, kids: If you fall into either of those two groups, no matter how smooth you think you are with the e-ladies or how tough you talk on an online computer game, you've still got a tiny penis that only you will ever touch.)

Okay, so I can roleplay. Roleplay what? All my character does is perform. Yeah, great story that is. And let's face it, there are only so many times you can recite your backstory before you get sick of it.

Furthermore, the cantinas are really nothing more than a chatroom for horny little boys, most of whom don't realise that the "sexy Zabrak chick" that they're fooling around with online or even [insert eyeroll here] "dating" is most likely a guy their own age, who's also sitting there with a bottle of hand cream and a box of Kleenex. Sickening really. It's gotten to the point where I park my ent in a corner by herself and just jam on the mandovial just to gain levels.

And that's another thing that's dumb about ents. I'm playing my instrument off by myself, not entertaining anyone other than myself (if that) -- yet I keep gaining experience! For what?

I think it's time for my character to make a profession change. I think maybe it's time she joined the rebellion as an officer. I mean, who wouldn't follow into the battle the writer and performer of the hit song "Lick My Lekku"?

  1. I replied more fully on your guestbook, Vilgore, but to answer your question briefly here, yes, I do love SWG. I may have complaints about it from time to time, as you can see from some of my other blog posts here, but on the whole I love it. I play a few hours each night, depending on what's on television, and I'm usually playing all weekend, except when things like grocery shopping have to be done (I still have to eat, y'know ;) ).

  2. I have a trial of SW galaxys. I havent even loaded it yet. I have a buzy life and normally wouldnt have time for it, but I was hoping it was a good SW game. I never bought it b/c I didnt want to have to pay for a server I may play on twice a month. Do you guys seriously like it, or are you tired of it (plz let me know on my page)

  3. Okay, so I got a request to bring my ent to a city attempting to grow. My ent would place a cantina there. We'll see how that goes...

  4. Be careful when you redo your expertise. Just because you've still got the ability in your command bar, that doesn't mean you actually have that ability anymore. You'll have to re-select it. I made that mistake and lost 60% of my abilities.

  5. geez, why can't they just leave well enough alone?! Has anyone been complaining about the spy, smuggler, bounty hunter professions?! Not to my knowledge. So now i'll need to redo all of my spy's expertise again? :/ SOE - I have all the patience in the world at times, this is not one of those times.

  6. Correction time: I read last night on the official SWG site that medic and entertainer are next up for revamping.

  7. Y'know, though, cometo think of it, given that they just revamped the spy and smuggler professions and are plenning to the same to a couple of others -- medic and bounty hunter, if memory serves -- in the next few months, I don't see SWG going away anytime soon.

  8. No, I hadn't heard that, but then I seem to be missing every memo these days. I wasn't aware, for instance, that you can now move your characters to different galaxies (for a small payment to SOE, of course). I also wasn't aware that they were planning to COMPLETELY CHANGE THE SPY AND SMUGGLER PROFESSIONS!!! I had to do all of my spy's expertise over again. But that's a rant for a separate blog entry.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they did that, though. I'd say 90% of the little twerps on the game wish they were Revan anyway. Most of 'em probably couldn't tell Lando from Lobot.

  9. Being an entertainer is the worst profession on the game now - I never use mine anymore, sure...I make lots of credits, but what's the point? What can I put them towards? Weapons I can't use, threads I can't craft? Viva la - old days.
    Have you heard the rumour they are going to scrap SWG soon, to replace it with a KOTOR MMO?
