Little Jedi’s Little Bounty Hunter

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 16, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

Little Jedi has started a bounty hunter.  Watch out, world.

Unlike previous attempts to play, LJ now has reading skills and coordination sufficient to stay on quest task without our assistance.  I am a firm proponent that she MUST level up herself. She will not learn anything if we drag her around.  She won’t learn her abilities, she won’t learn how to navigate a map – she’ll get to 50 and be totally useless.  No child of mine will do that.

I am quite enjoying the commentary I am hearing as she goes along.  She’s very excited to get Mako, and everything is going well until…

Hall of Shame Revamp

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 13, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

I’ve revamped the hall of shame.  Most of the images should display in an appropriate size, and you won’t have to click through if you don’t want to.

Bad clothes, bad name, bad hat. My brain hurts.

As I am once again playing and monitoring the blog, feel free to send horrible fashion my way.

Oh, Quinn. I’m Coming To Get You.

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 9, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

So while I was on hiatus from SWTOR, I heard little birds telling me that I get to… reunite with my bestie, Malavai Quinn.  Here’s the official blurb, as I am avoiding spoilers:

RETURNING COMPANIONS

Prepare to fight alongside Former Sith Warrior Companion Malavai Quinn or former Republic Trooper Companion Elara Dorne!

But beware, many years have passed… and your decisions may put old friendships to the test!

Last I saw him, I was giving him a neck-tickle… with force choke.

Never EVER gets old.

The following conversation with a guildie occurred yesterday:

Me: I should prioritize murdering Quinn. That’s next on the agenda.

(Guildie]): lol. I feel sorry for Quinn, actually. he’s stuck between a rock and a wall

Me: Ooh that’s how I should kill him. Squish.

Clearly I’m not over it.

Once Again, Customer Service Fail

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 2, 2017 by NjessiJune 2, 2017

As you might recall, I got no credit for finishing Chapter 1 of KOTET and put in a CSR ticket.  Well this was the response I got:

Dear [njessi],

Thank you for contacting Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Customer Service. I have responded to your query in-game and, for your convenience I have included a summary of the response below in case you are unable to access the in-game mail at the moment.

I am sorry to hear about your issues with your recent chapter returning to the start of chapter 1 despite already completing it.

Unfortunately due to this you will need to run Chapter I of the Wrath and Ruin again to get past it, as unfortunately this is not a quest we are able to progress.

I hope that you are able to get past it quick enough and can continue to to enjoy the KOTET storyline. If there is anything else I can help you with please don’t hesitate to contact me.

To check back on any details of the case, you can do so at any time by logging into the game on any of your characters and opening the Help Centre.

Please click here to begin: [survey link]

Thank you for playing Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Regards,

[CSR guy].

No!  That’s a bad bioware!  Copious use of “unfortunately” does not compensate for failure to fix my issue!

It also drives me nuts when they say they’re “unable” to fix the issue.  No, someone over there is able to fix the issue.  They just don’t choose to allow the CSR personnel to do that and it isn’t worth the time to find the person who has the power to press the “skip to chapter 2” button.

As my toon is now level 70, I’m just going to start KOTET on another that actually needs to hit 70.  If I’m going to redo the chapter, might as well be for a purpose.

Up soon: why command crates are bullshit.

Poison All The Things

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 1, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

First of all, leveling as an operative… well I thought it would suck since I’ve done that before, but Lethality is seriously fun.  Would you like a bomb?  Oh yes, here’s a nice green poison bomb.  What’s that?  Not enough poison?  No problem, let me explode the general vicinity with more poison.  BOMB BOMB BOMB.  For story mode, there’s nothing sweeter.

Chapter 1 has a very sad ending.  I finished up and happily logged off to do other things.  When I got back to it, I was at the beginning of the fucking chapter.  No medal for completing it.  No “pick up where you left off maybe not quite done.”  Nope, no credit whatsoever.  I put in a ticket to customer service, and the clock is ticking.  I’ll let you know when/if they answer.

Fortunately, my new guild (courtesy of old guild merger) was farming things and I ended up at level 70 via story mode raiding – I mean ops, totally ops – without having to repeat the chapter.  Unfortunately for me, my triumphant return to raiding involved the Underlurker.  There was much mockery at my expense.  “I hate you guys” was my mantra for the night.

KOTET Chapter 1: Who are you Guys, Again?

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on May 31, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

Boys and Girls, it does not pay to be lazy.  I fully admit that I stalled out on summarizing chapters around 14ish.  Now shit is happening and I don’t remember why.  Shame on me.

Flailing and Failing: Returning to the Game

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on May 30, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

The real life job that has been bullshit on my gaming schedule has receded to normal hours.  I’m patched up and ready to go.

I have no fucking idea what I’m doing.

I read the Dulfy guides, although it’s like drinking information from the space-fire-hose.  It was far easier to make a list of all the outfits I want.  I’m totally on top of that.

I started with the newest chapter of KOTET, and it took way too long to even get to that point.  First, my level 65 operative never did KOTFE (just leveled with raids and stuff) so I had no idea how to start KOTET.  After much swearing, Mr. Google was kind enough to show me the way.

But then I see triangles all over my ship.  Why?  Oh right, I never finished the conversations with my idiots.  I should probably do that before they are lost forever…

Those guys are so boring.  I fondly remember the first run through of this game where I could not bribe my idiots fast enough because I wanted to see what they had to say.  Now I don’t care what Lokin is doing.  He could be experimenting on space puppies, whatever, just don’t bother me with it.

They’re all done yammering now.  Onward to Chapter 1!

New Raid – I Mean Ops. Totally Ops.

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on January 27, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

Apparently we’re getting a new op.  I’m happy.  No, seriously.

I mean, it’s not enough by any stretch, but compared to nothing, one op is better than zero.

In the real-life background, work is kicking my ass, so I haven’t been online.  Grown up jobs are bullshit for gaming time.  My chances of doing the op when it’s first released are slim.  Thankfully, people will still be running it through the summer since not all the bosses are releasing at once.  Yes!  BW being slow actually works with my schedule, so thanks!

But I’d best get my shit together and level up and gear up… well and choose a healing main… Like I said, grown up jobs are bullshit on my gaming schedule.

Letting My Subconscious Loose With My Credit Card

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on January 3, 2017 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

I took a break from SWTOR suddenly and in a huff of what Little Jedi calls a “baby tantrum” over the lack of raids.  I didn’t post about this because nobody wants to read about a baby tantrum.

A few nights ago, I dreamed about SWTOR twice.  Since, of course, my spending is controlled by my subconscious, I resubbed immediately.  I’m firmly in the casual camp right now, since I have no time for raiding (that isn’t new anyway, I mean geesh!!).

And, now that KOTET is out, I finally finished KOTFE.  But not before catching up my wardrobe collection to make up for lost time and missed cartel packs.  Because DUH.

Fair warning: cover those underboobs or face my renewed wrath.

Chapter 14: Cadera Versus Cadera

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on September 8, 2016 by NjessiNovember 3, 2024

Sigh, why do I even bother.  Nobody remembers Kramer versus Kramer.  I’m olde.

Anyhoo, standard disclaimer:
