I'm still having fun.

Last night was a blast. I started off doing a solo mission on Tatooine with my pub toon. I saw a group of 3 imps ahead of me in the dungeon. One of them started heading toward me, then the other two quickly followed. I thought, "Oh poo, I'm toast". The first guy started attacking me, and I was fighting him. The other two imp's catch up and start in on me, I blow all my cd's. Then out of nowhere two more pub's come up and start helping me out. We killed them.

So I group up with the other two pubs that just came in (we're doing the same quest). The imp's come back 5 minutes later and jump us while we're fighting mobs. We kill them again. This went on for about another half hour...they wiped us once but we owned them the rest of the time. Then they go and get a level 50 (we were all around the same level so it was a fair fight).

LOL...fuging pussies.

I'm still enjoying 1-49 PvP but I don't have much hope for post 50 PvP in it's current form. Ilum is such a terrible system. All they had to do was take DAOCs frontiers and convert them to a Star Wars theme for a great open world end game PvP. Instead they turned PvP into just another grind with dailies and weekly quests minus the interesting story of PvE. The gear gap between new level 50s and the existing ones is way too big. Add the fact that it's based completely around luck getting Champion gear and it can take a very long time to get competitive gear. At this rate looks like I'll be leveling quite a few alts for PvP as it's far more enjoyable when everyone is bolstered to roughly the same effectiveness.

This game would have been fine, health wise, if they had the number of servers they have now at release. Way too many dead servers for too long. When you have a peak of 3 people on your home fleet in a 24 hour time frame, you have problems. I was lucky enough to have started on the Shadowlands and our guild Impetus was top by a mile. People got tired waiting for content and then the player base to recruit our last raid slot as always could never be found. This was the same problem we had from WoW just don't have a dedicated 9/10 or 8th in SWTOR's case.

For me it was simply the fact that it's an MMO. Nothing will ever compare to your first MMO - if you first played EQ, then nothing compares to EQ, if it was wow, nothing will compare, etc. For me it was vanilla wow. They've improved the game in almost every way but it's not the same experience.

I never got that immersive feeling from swtor, something wow was great at. I didn't feel like I was in a galaxy that I could explore, I was in a series of levels(planets) separated by loading screens.

Other than having voice over dialog swtor added nothing to the genre.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Martin · Posted

      He gets the blame because his role as the QB is to make plays, help the team score more points and elevate players around him. He does none of that. Just because he didn’t massively mess up doesn’t mean he wasn’t a reason for the loss. The bar some of you have for Bryce is incredibly low.

      Canales is holding us back

      Yeah I was crying about this earlier in the year when we got to 6 wins. Equal number to Wilks.  We are still a QB away.

      The Hall of Fame case for two different NFC South quarterbacks

      By Verge · Posted

      Hey y'all, a topic that has been on my mind has always been the parallels between two of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFC South and ultimately their place in history and how they are viewed moving forward through the rest of NFL history. These two quarterbacks as you might have guessed are their respective franchises greatest signal callers, Cam Newton and Matt Ryan.  Cam Newton (144 Games Started): 269 TDs (1.8 per contest), 123 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Matt Ryan (234 Games Starter):  394 TDs (1.6 per contest), 183 INTs, Super Bowl Appearance, OROTY, MVP  Obviously on first glance, these are very similar players with identical top accomplishments. Let's zoom in a little bit on their surrounding talent. C Cam Newton top offensive producers:  Greg Olsen (TE) (9 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls) Steve Smith Sr. (WR) (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl) Matt Ryan top offensive producers:  Julio Jones (WR) (10 Seasons) (7 Pro Bowls)  Roddy White (WR) (8 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Tony Gonzalez (TE) (5 Seasons) (4 Pro Bowls)  Wow, quite the difference here. Through Cam's career his top option was Greg Olsen, who was one of the best tight ends of his generation and a real difference maker in an offense reliant on their quarterback making plays outside of structure. Newton post Steve Smith Sr was saddled with a revolving door of Chicken McNobodies at the receiver position and the offense had to be funneled through the tight end and running attack as Jericho Cotchery, Corey Brown, Jason Avant, Kelvin Benjamin, etc was not getting the job done. Ryan on the other hand was consistently surrounded with top level offensive weapons, including one of the best receivers and tight ends in the history of the game, thanks in part to an aggressive general manager who wanted to ensure they could maximize the arm talent of their franchise quarterback.  How about protection?  Cam Newton top offensive lineman: Jordan Gross (3 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Ryan Kalil (8 Seasons) (2 Pro Bowls) Andrew Norwell (4 Seasons)  Trai Turner (6 Seasons) (5 Pro Bowls) Matt Ryan top offensive lineman:  Jake Matthews (8 Seasons) (1 Pro Bowl)  Alex Mack (5 Seasons) (3 Pro Bowls)  Andy Levitre (3 Seasons)  Todd McLure (5 Seasons)  While Matt Ryan certainly had more consistency and high level talent on his offensive line, one could argue they had similar protection through the bulk of their career. Though one has to acknowledge some of the absolute dog water lineman that were trot out to protect Newton at his tackle spots post Jordan Gross retirement. Byron Bell, Mike Remmers, Matt Kalil, Chris Clark, Amini Silatolu, Nate Chandler, etc were all a collective pile of garbage save for two seasons from Remmers and a few splashes of brilliance from Michael Oher, Daryl Williams, and early career Taylor Moton.  Defense should be fairly simple.  Cam Newton defense average rank:  17th/32 Matt Ryan defense average rank:  18th/32  Honestly I was a bit surprised by this, I had thought Cam consistently had the better defenses, but when you look at the average it's shockingly close. While Newton did have the higher peaks of defense, Atlanta placed higher more consistently and only really faltered towards the end of Ryan's career. Both these players had on and off again defenses to rely on.  So what does all this mean?  1. I am bored at work  2. Cam Newton has the better body of work given the talent around him  While I am not sure either is necessarily a lock to get a gold jacket, it's undeniable that Newton carried his franchise on his back for the better part of his career and changed how quarterbacks are viewed as a whole. Newton became the blueprint for a new breed of signal caller, and Ryan is the standard that is set for pocket quarterbacks in the modern league. Both players deserve their kudos for what they did for their franchises and how they morphed their team's identity, but Newton I think was clearly the better of the NFC South quarterbacks, especially if he had remained as healthy as Ryan did.
