My happy JtL Rant

[Seret Sajet]

Thats right I'm going to be positive because overall I'm happy with JtL. I walk away from playing with a pretty good feeling so I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to give a quick rundown of what they like so far.

The plantary systems are gorgeous. The asteroid fields, the nebulas, the atmosphere. Its all amazing.

Piloting is extremely fun. Finally in SWG combat actually relies in a big part to skill. Not just slamming an F-key on the special move you ground to get in your profession. This concept thrills me. This would actually make me NOT hate PvP in space.

The missions are fun and interesting. Patrols, Escorts, Captures, Inspecting, and Pirate hunting has just simply been captivating. I haven't once got bored in space or walked away bitter or upset even when I blew up. I can honestly say for once missions give you a real sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm.

I'm sure there is more but thats all I want to saturate this topic with for now. Let us know what you like and what has you hooked (and save the negative posts for another thread where they fit better).

I love the scenery. It's absolutely gorgeous. And my home system of Karthakk, I think it is (Lok) is prettiest of all. *wipes tear*

I love being a Rebel pilot and seeing TIE wings work in formation, lead by a bomber. So very authentic.

I love the customization of the ships.

I love the ability to go up with two people, even if it makes me slightly motion sick to be a gunner. ((GO TEAM....uh...OEREE/DWILAH!!!!!!! ION CANNON REPRESENT!!!!!!))

I like the ability to use my starship to travel and not have to buy tickets and wait.

I love the missions. Despite having my ass kicked miserably by the second tier Rebel ones so far for I'm sure a various number of reasons (poor piloting skill probably the main reason) I still think the set up of the missions themselves are pretty damn awesome. I like being able to choose what sort of missions I get.

I like the controls of flying, I like my yacht.

I like the RP possibilities this opens up with the multiplayer ships, though this will mostly be a "let's go up and hunt" type expansion.

And that's what I like.

I have a love hate relationship with this game. I love it because it is new and exciting and it once again brings a huge SW element to the table. I hate it because of how my advancement is gated with this damn missions.

Don't even get me started on the 100 wave Rebel fight.

ah ah ah, no hating here. They'll be plenty of Jtl hate threads I'm sure. This is a super shiney slappy happy thread.

1.I like the speed of the Tie Fighers.

2 I like the authenticity of taking missions from a superior officer. It feels like I'm actually working for the Empire, instead of grinding faction points and spamming buttons.

3.I like the fact that the ships are so customizable!

4. I like the joystick controls(didn't like em at first..but hey this is a happy thread)

I love the....

Oh, heay...all I got to do was master shipwright and then leave for Vegas:(

shhhh, if everyone ignores the drunk, he'll leave....

[Keer]

I'm pleasantly surprised overall by the expansion. Despite my short time in Beta, due to work and trying to finish up Keer's template, I thought that I would like JtL.

Instead, I'm having more fun in-game than proabably ever.

1) I'm happy about how flying and combat looks.

2) The in-flight map is a practical interface (probably even more when I learn to fully use it)

3) Looking forward to visit all of the space POI's that are available.

4) My Friends List is lit up like a Christmas Tree with names that I haven't seen or heard from in months. Some since 2003! It felt really good to talk to some of my old buddies from the Tyrena and Talus days after all this time.

5) I see more relevancy as a Neutral player in the "galactic scheme" of things. While I can't ride on certain Faction ships, all Factions can ride with me when I get mine. I can have Imperial Colonel Nyase on board looking for escaped Rebel Oeree, but have both of them jump in a gun turret to help me fight off a surprise pirate attack.

6) As Illbleed said, the customization of the ships is great. Kind of like building a PvP or PvE Template for characters.

7) I like the JtL Game Guidebook just because I like reading about Star Wars background and lore in general.

8) I like the wait sequence for the hyper jump.

And a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember right now.

Thats a good point, looks like JtL brought a lot of folks back to the table. My old buddy Gaarymbac has returned as Gaaryym, an Ithorian, this time. Very cool to see old faces again (even if they have new ones).

[Jabe Adaks]

I agree with all the happy things. Last night when we fllew a mission together that was the most fun I have had since I was a noob grinding/helping other noob friends. Seems like thats the most fun is when you're stuck together cause you all suck together.

But then we become uber and stop playing together..

[Skarr]

and almost all the faces hang out in Mos Eisley

I see people there I only usually see at casino nights, etc...

but all I gotta say is that last night ROCKED!!!

our hodge-podge group of pirate ships and a tie, taking out the valerians

much fun was had, even though I limped back to starport with my ass totally shot up...(great wingmen I had, lol, they are all fine, mine is screaming eject, lol)

[Jabe Adaks]

Oh and Seret that TIE fighter you built me rocks the bomb. The top speed combined with boosters really saved my ass.
