I'm thinking that the analogy wouldn't hold for a real physicist, because, if I remember right, the current model holds there are 13 dimensions. I may be wrong, but I'm almost certain that's what I've read the past few times I've read up on the subject.

Re: STO v. SWTOR

Since I haven't time/money for two MMOs, and since I've never had a deep emotional investment in the Star Wars franchise, it's STO for me.

Gotta make enough tips to afford my new ride.




Budget cuts are making things hard all over. This soldier can't even afford a decent pair of macrobinoculars.

Re: STO v. SWTOR

January 23 2012
As a scientist at heart, I love a graph. Thanks!

Back to the original question, I'm a STO player from open beta, lifetimer, and I haven't been back in the game (STO) significantly since SWTOR came out. I expect I will get back to STO once some of the novelty of TOR wears off.

Contrary to what others have said, the DOFF stuff (and other changes they made at the same time) in STO has actually put me off that game a bit. I had spent a good amount of time learning the game as I played, and felt a little like they changed the rules on me by adding all that. The duty officer system is similar to the crew skills part of TOR, which I'm still working on learning, but at least in TOR I'm learning the whole game as I go. Now suddenly STO, which used to be a comfortable place to while away some time, has become confusing and uncomfortable for me again.

(Before people shout about how I'm wrong, and duty officers are the best thing since sliced processing, I'm just talking about my own personal emotional response. It's not logical, and maybe when I get the hang of it I'll love the DOFF system. It just makes me a bit ... uneasy. Maybe it's the change from familiar to unfamiliar that's bothering me. I'm not sure.)

So that's me. Your mileage will (no doubt) vary.

Well if the graph is working the way I think there isn't an option when joining to choose None for STO so all new SWTOR members are also showing as new STO members.


There's an option in everyone's profile called "Would you like to join?" for which there are three main options, "I'd like to join Stonewall Fleet.", "I'd like to join Knights of Stonewall.", and "I'd like to join Stonewall Fleet & Knights of Stonewall.". That's what this graph is based off of. Anyone that selected either "I'd like to join Knights of Stonewall" or "I'd like to join Stonewall Fleet & Knights of Stonewall" is counted as a member of Knights of Stonewall. Anyone that selected either "I'd like to join Stonewall Fleet" or "I'd like to join Stonewall Fleet & Knights of Stonewall" is counted as a member of Stonewall Fleet. This way anyone that joined both is counted as a member in both the graph for Stonewall Fleet and Knights of Stonewall.

There are also a few options to the join question that aren't represented in the guild specific graphs, but are counted in the All Members graph.


Ah yes I completely forgot about that spot! Thank you for clarifying I was thinking of the character portion of that (my mistake).

I have seen some people post some really amusing pictures of glitches, odd looking things in game, funny outfits, and just general oddities. So I figured I'd post a thread so we can collect them in one place and laugh at some of the amusing things we see in game.

Here is my Patriotic Lizard... I'm not sure how it happened but it did

True, but if you look at the rate new applications have been coming in STO, that at least shows an uptick even since SWTOR was released. That coupled with the anecdotal evidence of chatter on here about different events and the time I heard in Star Wars chat in-game "Help! I'm in Vent with a bunch of Trekkies!" would at least seem to indicate that things are going reasonably well there. I'm really glad. I was afraid Star Wars would cannibalize everything in STO.

May the force be with you as you live long and prosper.

Re: Very quiet since the guild split

Sorry you guys are leaving. Even though I don't play Republic as much anymore if you see my Jedi Guardian, Bhear, on he's always happy to group up for FPs or Heroics :cheer:

Although, I spend most of my time on the Empire side right now. My main is a LS Sith Sorcerer and I'm in love with the story, voice acting and environments over there. plus, shooting lightning outta yer fingers is just too much fun!! Once I get him to lvl 50 I'll prolly switch back to playing Republic more again.

I would like to add that while I can't really comment on the Republic side of things since I'm not logged in much on that toon at the moment. I can without a doubt say that I play my Sith every day and have found GChat in LoS to always be active and fun. There have been people willing to help with quests or answer questions or just talk about what crazy stuff happened in the world today. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience and let everyone know it's been a very good one. I'm having a ton of fun and making new friends every day. I hate to see someone not having a good experience. All I can say is have fun!! And give me a shout if you need anything. (I'll probably be on Rhogen) :)

PVP.

January 22 2012
Howdy all. I am gearing up to start doing PVP events in the coming weeks. Before anything is set in stone though, I would like everyone's input.

What would you like to see Stonewall achieve in pvp?
Are there any aspects of PVP that confuse you? if so what are they?
What would you like to do for PVP? planets or warzones mainly?
If you have any burning questions about PVP in general? If so post here and I will do my best to answer you.....if I can't answer I will do my best to find the answer.
