Hint: How to Make yourself not be a total butthole

Dec18

Just because someone is flagged does NOT mean they are looking to fight you. Especially if it’s a PVE server.

more often than not, I heal people and they may be flagged and then I’m stuck dealing with the stupid glitchy flag.

There’s also a lot of people who may get flagged and may not realize it’s super glitched and just end up flagged forever when they don’t even want to be.

And for crying out loud, if you see someone having trouble, at least have the decentcy to help them. Seriously.

But really, if someone is just STANDING there peacefully and not doing anything to you and then tries to go away, doesn’t hurt you, and asks you to PLEASE STOP, how screwed up do you have to be to still kill them?

Jerk.

Blurrgs + Press Release

Dec18

A lot of people think Blurrgs are ugly. I don’t really see why? Okay, well, maybe kind of, but I think all pets are cute deep down.

Plus, lots of people like Gizka’s and they seriously just look like fat Gizka’s:
+ various pet food =

I don’t care if I’m the only one who sees it XP But I feel that should make them a little cuter to some people!

Anyway, it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting much done today sadly 🙁 But hopefully tomorrow may have a bit more progress when it comes to getting things done before the expansion.

Speaking of which, Fansites were shared the Press Release information today :3

AUSTIN, Texas – Dec 18, 2012 – There is a new threat in the Star Wars™ universe and the future of the Republic, the Empire and the entire galaxy is at stake!

Dec18

So, today was supposed to be fun and exciting and goal-getting, but it kind of hasn’t. Besides getting a bit of a late start (due to stressing), most people seemed to be upset with the expansion so my ideas of hopping on and happily talking away to guild mates about excitement over the expansion information was shot to heck in minutes as my heart shattered but people are still coming anyway

However, one nice thing happened today (plus, I finished my goal page!). Prongs surprised me with some mods 😀 And he even helped Mar-gon too! Yay! He’s supposed to help me figure out a bit with my healing and if it’d be better to switch down 5% Crit by switching my Magenta Crystal to a Power one and 3 Mettle Mods to Aptitude or to keep what I have now. Looking forward to what he says, although, I’d hate to have to change things again…

omg

Dec18

Why must these things always happen when I am at work?!

Hutt Cartel, Makeb, Expansions, Sides… T____T need to finish with Amidaia and Cellina!

Must get home and preorder x___x eeee….

Coherent thoughts coming when I get home.

Also, dear Tundra Nekarr Cat, please go back under 1 million 🙁 and tempted to get old boxes to try for a white lightsaber crystal, but it is such a gamble x-x

——————–

HOME SO TIME TO TALK. Already pre-ordered–sadly, it seems most people aren’t as excited as I am 🙁

I do remember this was brought up on a survey a while back so bringing that up… It said it would include the following:

Increased level cap. 5 additional levels of gameplay
New planet Makeb – Explore Makeb, as the Republic and Sith Empire fight for control over this alien planet with invaluable natural resources.
First-ever Legacy Species: The Cathar. Play as the deadly, powerful, and efficient Cathar–the first-ever species obtained exclusively through the Legacy System.
Luke Skywalker’s speeder from the classic Star Wars movies. This is a 2-seat speeder capable of carrying two players.
Kowakian Monkey Lizard similar to Salacious B. Crumb from the classic Star Wars movies
Ewok companion from the classic Star Wars movies
Improved Crafting System – Acquire new recipes, weapons and armor, and experience an all-new crafting system with additional levels to hone your skills.
Exclusive vanity items (special character particle effects, unique lightsaber color, etc)

So far, some stuff has obviously been mentioned… but most of it hasn’t and I’m curious what will be done. There is a Kowakian Monkey Lizard already available, yes, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing another kind in the expansion.

Regardless, I am excited… but this also makes me want to hurry up with my goals 🙁
