Deft Aklin Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 Yes, it's official, Dark Sovereignty's Beta members have unanimously agreed that our PA will be based on Dathomir. Though I cannot say why, I am sure you will all agree with our choice once you see the planet in game. We will still be starting out on Corellia, but our time there will be brief. As a side note, Dark Sovereingty now has 10 Beta testers working together, 2 that are not working with the group and..... 2 members that have still not given away their extra CD keys. Soon, nearly 50% of our PA will be in Beta. Also, for those of you that have not yet seen it, here is our PA logo: Website.........coming soon...........

Thew Rydur Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I think we all know why the Dark Sovereingty is going to Dathomir... *CoughCough=A=ownscorelliaCoughCough* Just kidding D_S, good luck man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 Yes, and D_S, don't you have a PA forum for these kinds of threads? *looks at the Dark Sovereign PA forum* Oh, you do? I hope my point is clear enough for me to be silent about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope my point is clear enough for me to be silent about it. Heavens forbid Set, see now, I thought some of the people on here might actually like to see the stuff my PA is doing. I'm sorry that we aren't able to post on every single topic here. God, that would just be rude now wouldn't it. Off-Topic means anything not totally related to SWG. Technically I think I could have posted this in General if I had wanted to, as it is related to SWG. I know you are upset with me still regarding a particular post which I will not mention, but I have received ten PMs all saying the same thing..... You were wrong! Therefore, though I bare you no ill will, I will not change myself to make you happier. I think I have been rather controlled and extremely nice to you considering some of the things you have said in the past I have felt are way out there and totally baseless, so cut me some slack and back off. I don't hold grudges Set, but I also do not tolerate them. Lose the attitude, please, for peace sake. My apologies in advance if I didn't take your comment well, but Set, all the smileys in the world won't make up for the attitude you have towards me. Just so you know Set, as many times as you and I have argued on these forums, I have always had your back and supported you even when I felt you were wrong. Go ahead, ask around. See how many American's you have offended. Now ask them how many I have talked to and supported your right to your views. Now Set, I still support that, I'm just tired of the baseless US bashing. NUFF SAID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 10, 2003 Share Posted June 10, 2003 I thought you couldnt build on Dathomir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 I also heard that you could not build on Dathomir, but then D_S is in beta, so I guess he should know. I also heard that D_S doesn't understand when I post jokes. The bad part is that D_S has an ability to turn things that wasn't a thing into a bad thing. Thing is, I had forgotten about that, and was prepared to don't mind it at all, but now he brought it up again. Is that wise, kids? Eh, well, no. Learn from his mistake; don't dig up the rancid pork that's already buried in the garden. It might become your dinner. That's today's lesson. I mean, geez, a long grudge for me is like, one or even two weeks. This was ages ago. My faulty memory would have sorted it out without any problems. But nooo.... And please explain to me how my post in this thread was America-bashing, because frankly, I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 Well, in all fairness Set, I probably did take that a bit too far, but by no means was any of it not my true feelings. My apologies if I have upset you, but I am not one to hold my feelings back normally. Had I not vented this in a healthy manner, I would have eventually vented in an unhealthy manner.

-=ReApEr=- Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Come on guys lets just calm down, there's no need to dig up peoples pasts i for one can vouch for that. You two may have diffrence of opinions but lets not drag it onto the forums, i am not blaming no one nor taking sides. Im just saying lets try to be happy and friendly like a family on the boards, and leave privite things to Msn and Pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsuko Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Lol @swediot. Well, personally, I have no problem with living and forgetting. Thing is, D_S, I got really mad at you. And I know that if we had continued to discuss it, I'd just get even madder. So I told you to back of, and leave me alone for a while, because I knew that if you did, I'd forget about it in a while, and everything would be ok again. So now I guess you know why I tell you such a thing next time; I just need time to steam down, and forget about it. It's not like I enjoy being mad at people. And I knew we had too different a view of the matter to come to an agreement anyway. After all, the discussion itself was not what got me upset, it was how you treated it. But let's leave it dug down, because noone gains from bringing it up again. *takes her shovel and shuffle a few more pounds of dirt on the grave of the matter* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted June 11, 2003 Author Share Posted June 11, 2003 No, adn I know you and I have VERY different opinions in that matter, but in that specific instance I was never allowed the opportunity to let it out, so it just festerred inside. For that reason, I have been a little frustrated with you, but I also have a lot of RL stuff going on.....still no car......and that didn't help. *breathes* Okay, I'm feeling a little better.......I'm just glad I didn't post the 2,500 word reply I had yesterday. I think I would have had to ban myself for that. Oh, and by the way, I have not seen a single Dev post saying you couldn't build anywhere. Please provide a link if I am wrong.

setsuko Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 At least Endor has been declared completely free of playermade buildings. And they spoke about severely limiting the space available on the more 'exotic' planets, such as Dathomir. EDIT: And yes, you were wrong. "Endor's terrain incorporates the Ewoks' treetop villages, the Gorax caves, and other wilderness areas. There are no cities or urban regions of commerce on Endor and there are no opportunities for new residents to build homes or establish settlements." here There is no definate information on Dathomir, though you might find this Q&A about Dathomir being a rather revealing clue: "12) Does the planet have cities? Nope. The Imperial prison and the witch villages don't really qualify. Since there aren't any cities, there isn't an official spaceport, which is why you need to charter a transport. The same applies to Endor and Yavin 4." This coming from Haden Blackman. Again, I'm not in beta so I'm not sure about whether or not they changed their minds and are going to allow it, but really, there's a lot of dev posts out there to back me up. So I guess planning a PA town on Dathomir, Endor or Yavin 4 is a tad dangerous. You might get your hopes trashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 Dathomir is currently under blockade by the Empire. It is theoretically totally restricted to go there at all. The cause is the witches that live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we work through our differences of opinion is what makes this a community and not a flame-fest like the station boards. Set and I will probably always be at each others throats, it's pretty much a given, but we always kiss and make up. Okay, so maybe we don't kiss, but we fight like a married couple. Strong wills and strong minds lead to strong conflicts. —Can't remember who said this though. Grrr. BTW, Set, if you read, it only answered if there were cities, not if you can build them or not. I honestly don't think the devs would waste that much prime real estate. Though the landlords might be (B)Witches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted June 11, 2003 Share Posted June 11, 2003 In all the time those 3 planets were known about, from ANH and beyond, there hasn't been one slightest indication that there were built any kind of settlement or town on any of them by off-worlders. So that would constitute to a major continuety issue if people were allowed to build there. This does not include military bases, or in the case of Yavin IV, the Jedi Academy later on.

setsuko Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Well, yes, I think you can see me and D_S as a married couple. Without the married part, and the couple part. Yeah, there's a few posts by the devs too that the point of not having settlements on the more exotic planets is to make adventuring there more hazardous, and therefor more exciting. You can't just clone yourself, kill some rancors, and then clone yourself again. Anyhow, those posts mostly point out Endor (which is absolutely free of playermade settlements. 100%, it's right there in the official planet description). Whether Dathomir is impossible to settle is less clear, it might tilt anyway. All I say is that much points to the fact that a backup plan is very, very handy to have if you plan to settle Dathomir. You might find out that the only deeds on the planet is the evil deeds the witches are planning to do to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted June 12, 2003 Author Share Posted June 12, 2003 In all honesty though, if you make a planet VERY VERY dangerous, then people will get that 'great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there attitude. As far as your statements Jan, some of continuity has to give way for it to be a game anyway. They have to make exceptions. Example: Overt Rebel? No such thing. Most Rebels were in hiding at all times. Leia was one of the premiere powers in the Rebel Alliance and she wasn't even overt. Mon Mothma, maybe, but how often did she leave the base? Remember, to support the number of players they want, they will have to give way to a little continuity. People want to have houses, where they put them is another story.
