Star Wars: The Old Republic Beta Test

 

About two weeks ago I had the privilege to be a beta tester for the new MMORPG from Bioware and Lucas Arts called Star Wars: The Old Republic. I was able to test the game for two days and from what I played this is going to be an awesome game.When you get into the game you are going to get to pick your allegiance. You get a choice between The Galactic Republic and The Sith Empire. I choose The Sith Empire because we all know the Dark Side of the Force is stronger. The Character I chose was the Sith Inquisitor. He is a Force driven Sith and is very good with Force Lightning. He is the equivalent of the Jedi Consular from the Light Side. There are a few races to choose from I choose to be a human and Humans have the ability to rally their allies. There are a couple of other races to choose from but one that stuck out to me was the Sith race. If you choose to have a character that is of the Sith race they have a special ability to Punish their allies for screwing up. I'm pretty sure that race isn't available for the dark side. There are also Non Jedi characters and the one I really would like to try is the Bounty Hunter. Who doesn't want to be a Bounty Hunter with Boba Fett being one of the most popular (if not the most popular) character in all of the Star Wars universe. That enough about the other classes back to the Sith Inquistor. The Inquistor's story start off as you being a slave and you have just been recruited by the Sith. You will be sent on various missions to see if you are worthy of this Sith. I didn't get to far but I played enough of the game to get a feel and know that I will be good. I can probably rival the popularity of World of Warcraft but we can't say for sure just yet. We will know all once the game comes out and has been around for a little while. If you have played WOW (or any MMORPG) you should get the hang of this quick. The game is loads of fun and if you are a Star Wars fan you will probably love this game. You might even like this game even if you aren't a fan of Star Wars. The game is fun and have seems to have a lot to offer from what I was able to see. Now on to the cons of the beta. These cons aren't really aimed at the game they are more aimed at the Beta. When I picked a server to play on I was in the Queue for over 3 hours and there was  a lot of lag. The game probably ran slow because my laptop isn't a high performance gaming laptop, but my Internet connection is fast and I experience lots of lag. This was probably because so many people were on and the servers were full to the top with testers and that will be fixed when the game come out. One day I logged on and could barely move around. Aside from the lag this game was loads of fun to play and will be when its released December 20, 2011.

World of Warcraft Video: Wrought

Another great video by Cranius and Legs

Here are the lyrics:
I'm left alone with all the monsters in my head
They say to me you won't choose life over death
Insane attraction causes stillness in my mind
Only a fraction of the things I've left to find

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

I can't control my so impulsive frame of mind
I feel the reigns, the bridle, jerk my head in line
I wanna scream I wanna kill I wanna shout
I choke it back and take a punch right in the mouth

Oh without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

I take a breath from that toxic mask of mine
And fight the urge to disappear into the night
And by my side I see a monster on my wing
He drives me on he keeps me safe he makes me see

That without you, all alone
I see right through
Strong intentions left and gone

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding

(Ahhh) I cannot take this on my own, (ahhh) there's no excitement
(Ahhh) You rather see me rot alone
(Ahhh) Instead I suffer here for this

You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
You see me, I'm pleading
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding
For you to stop my bleeding

World of Warcraft Video: Ulduar

This is another video my buddy showed me and its another awesome video the song in the video was performed by Cranius and Summergale.

Here are they lyrics:

Remember the time, baby

I ain't got no epics
I ain't got no achievements 'cause I ain't first rate
I can't even clear Naxxramas
But you know Ima be your favorite group mate
Invite me girl

Baby it's alright, now
You don't have to PUG around me
Everything's farmed, Maly, Naxx and Sarth 3D
The raids are boring, I don't wanna PvP
Wipe the raid 'til we get it right

Nothin' left to do, let's do something new
So come meet me at Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, waitin' in the queue
But I don't want any Ulduar
I don't need achievements or buffs please
I'm so ready now for Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, we need something new
'Cause I want ...

I ain't got no titles
I ain't got no fancy-schmancy epic mount
We can't go nowhere heroic
It don't matter 'cause there is really nothin' left
Where we goin' girl?

Baby it's alright, now
You don't have to pug 'round me
Everything's farmed, Maly, Naxx and Sarth 3D
The raids are boring, I don't wanna PvP
Wipe the raid 'til we get it right

Nothin' left to do, let's do something new
So come meet me at Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, waitin' in the queue
But I don't want any Ulduar
I don't need achievements or buffs please
I'm so ready now for Ulduar
Nothin' left to do, we need something new
Cause I want (to go to/no part of) Ulduar

Summergale
I don't got heroic raids
I do alliance raids
Listen Summergale,
Hop on my mechano-hog, and we'll never log
So listen Summergale
Once you PvP with me
We're gonna pwn, you see
So listen Summergale
When you're gankin' you won't go back,
You won't go back, yeah

World of Warcraft Video: Don't Make Me Get My Main

This is another video my buddy showed me and its awesome the song in the video was written and performed by Cranius.

Here are they lyrics:

Please don't be deceived by my current situation
As unlikely as it seems, I'm a PvP sensation
A legend in my time, not a legend in my mind
So if it's all the same don't make me get my main

Make me get my main (ahhhh)
Make me get my main (ahhhh)

So if you don't believe I'll arrange a demonstration
I was trying to spare you the pain of death and devastation
But if you must insist on camping me like this
Well prepare yourself for pain, cuz I'm gonna get my main

Gonna get my main (ahhhh)
Gonna get my main (ahhhh)

Well you've worn my patience thin and inflamed my aggrivation
Now my main will make you wish you'd observed my exhortation
Well it's too late now for you cuz your camping days are through
So just remember through the pain that you made me get my main

No! Wait! Ahhhh!

You killed my main (ahhh)
You killed my main (ahhh)
