Don't believe there's a dedicated thread, and since they're starting to release information now, I figure it's time for one.

Yeah, we will probably roll with some of the other CP people here in the right 53 guild, and pickups as needed. It depends some on how well he picks things up. I'll try to teach him things mostly with just us two so he doesn't make things harder on others if he is feeling things out, but he has gotten pretty damn good and finding what works.

I am hoping he can be a nice wife aggro dump as well. If he is begging me to play with him, she can't be mad, right? Right?

I think it should be mostly okay for a 9-year old, too. There's some stuff he may not understand, and there's some dark, mature themes (mostly on the empire side, but also on the republic) but I don't remember much that was like 'oh god, they can't let kids see that".

I'm more worried about his kid getting absolutely hooked. Thankfully, he can rely on daddy to apply the brakes for him. Us adults - not so much. LOL

FYP

Kidding of course. I'll definately use it against him the more and more he gets into it. Homework done right, room clean, keeping his nose clean, showers longer than 15 seconds, brushed teeth and all that. He earns it, and I'll vouch for him tearing it up in a game like this.

Yeah. I'm so worried about that game just destroying my life in 2012. I played it 18 hours a day both beta weekends.

For you Right 53 guild folks, who is planning what sorts of classes? I saw we had a mix of like 4 Jedi Knights, a few Consulars, and some others I can't remember right now because the site is down for maintenance, but what sort of builds are you planning?

I am leaning towards going with a tanking build, JediKnight myself. Planning on playing a lot with my son, and figured that a personal tank will be the best option for whatever he ends up wanting to do. Can't talk it over with him yet since it will be a Christmas present for him, so can't really talk about it yet.

Some friends of mine and I formed a Sith guild.

Would be fun to to be Adversaries of the Right 53.

Will the GL send me a pm if interested.

I played a variety of classes over my weekend, and I'm still not sure which class I'm going to play

I was thinking Jedi Knight, but I may go with Smuggler since we have so many JKs already. Or we could just be a JK-heavy guild.

What does being Adversaries do for the guilds? (I'm the GL, btw)

allen_kcCard · 11-08-2011, 11:39 AM

I am thinking now that I might have two characters going starting out. The tank to play with my son mostly, and keep pace with him leveling, and maybe a consular shadow as well because it sounds pretty cool.

"Do Allies and Adversaries have any in-game effect on our guild?

Allies and Adversaries are a web-feature only. This phase exists solely to help determine your guild’s server placement in-game.
"

So....all it would do is help their sith guild get on the same server as us.

Huffmeister · 11-08-2011, 11:42 AM

Cool, thanks for the info. And thanks for providing it without the "let me google that for you" link

I'd be down for having a Sith guild as an adversary.

keg in kc · 11-08-2011, 12:32 PM

I would say not to worry too much about which class you start with. You'll probably end up playing more than one. Alts aren't just something to burn down time with in this game.

kaplin42 · 11-08-2011, 01:49 PM

I also wanted to add that I know that The Right Fifty Three is a Republic guild, but should any of you want to try the imperial side after the game is launched, just hit me up and I will add you to my guild, Wookie Crisps.

Please note, not competeing for members, just an alternative for anyone that wanted to try out the dark side.

keg in kc · 11-08-2011, 02:15 PM

Looks like they're doing another test weekend starting Friday.

Yeah, I'll definitely be creating a Sith toon at some point. I'll hit you up after I create him.

The Right Fifty Three are now adversaries with Wookie Crisps.
