Yet another Timewalking loot post ( As directed by GM)
Opened timewalking Cache before hotfix

Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?
Best way to farm Tusks of Mannoroth?
MMO-Champion
Before I ever ran a Warzone in TOR, or got myself blown up in beta, Greatwargen was a hell of a rogue in WoW, I can tell you that. So I downloaded TOR beta and loaded the client.
When I was level 20 I realized how good PVP in TOR can be. I’ve purchased some PVP gear and I went to work.
I became so good; I could change the odds for every enemy player trying to take me out on the objective point. I’m serious, I had it down so cold, that everyone on my team knew they had a paradise on earth, if I was holding that turret, setting up the explosive or running the ball. I was given one the biggest guilds in the MMO history to run The *** … by the only kind of guys that can actually get to that level. I don’t know all the details.
As the matter of fact, nobody knew all the details, but it should have been perfect, I mean I had my lightsaber and my gear, my best friends watching my back, and I had Pocket, the woman I loved on my arm, but in the end I fucked it all up.
It should have been so sweet too, but it turned out to be the last time, that street WoW rogue like me were ever given anything that freaking valuable again …
At that time Tor was a place for thousands of suckers downloaded the beta on their own nickel and dime and left behind about a billion of beta test results for Bioware, but at downtime, you couldn’t see the bugs that surround TOR, but it’s in the downtime where lot’s of the beta’s problems were solved. A lot of holes in that beta and a lot of problems were buried in those holes. Except you gotta do it right, I mean you have to have the hole already dug before you show up with the retail version of the game, otherwise you’re talking about 6 months to a year of digging … and who knows who’s gonna release another MMO at that time? Before you know it, you gotta dig a few more holes; you could be there your whole freaking night.
Who could resist? Anywhere online I was a rogue, a ninja, always looking over my shoulder, hassled by mods/GMs day and night, but here I’m Mr. Jedi Consular, I’m not only legitimate, but I’m running all the Warzones and that’s like selling people’s dreams for credits.
For guys like me TOR washes away your sins, it’s like a morality carwash, it does for us what Lourdes does for humpbacks and cripples, and along with making me legit come credits, tons of it. I mean what do you think we’re doing out here in TOR, it’s all these credits. This is the end result of all the bright lights of Corascant and the comp trips and all the champagne … and free exp. and valor points. It’s all been arranged for Bioware to get our money. That’s the truth about TOR. Bioware is the only winner. The gamers don’t stand a chance and their credits flow from their weapons, their armor to the bank through the Bioware and into the most sacred company in the Gaming industry, the place where they add up all the credits, the holy of holies the EA.
Now this place was off limits, even Bioware couldn’t get inside, but it was their job to keep it filled with credits, that’s for sure. They had so much freaking credits in there you could build a house out of stacks of a 100 credit bills, and the best part was that upstages the board of directors didn’t know what the freak was going on. I mean to them everything looked on the up and up. Right?
Wrong. The guys inside the game development were all slipped in there to skim the join dry. They’d do server restarts, they’d lose beta invites short, they’d would even take credits right out of the servers drop boxes … Everyone’s always looking the other way, right? Who wants to bother, I mean God forbid they should make a mistake and forget to steal.
Meanwhile EA is in and out, past the jag-off Bioware who gets an extra C-note every week, just to make the game. I mean it’s routine, business as usual: in, out, hello, good-bye. That’s all there is to it. Just another fat EA executive walking about of the MMO market with a suitcase.

Ok this is either Athene from WoW who has finally gone mad, or someone that started playing TOR beta on Acid then thought It would be a good idea to write a thread on MMO champ, other than that I have absolutely no idea what that was about

It sounds like the introduction to a movie or book, other then that I share the look of confusion on everyone's faces.

I ended up reading this in the voice of Bastions Narrator. Didn't make any sense but it sounded pretty epic.
"we've all been there, on the beta. No mount o lickin to get ya in the toes. Boots warm, hot to trot. blood pumps into overdrive. Acid trip, every good boy does fine"

if it made sense, we would make sense of it! I read it beginning to end, and I'm confused at the purpose of this thread. Your title is "my take on beta (+warzones)" but you don't GIVE us your take on it! Originally Posted by biv1982
