Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Namluck!

The application submitted by Namluck is as follows:

[Legendkiller456]

App looks good. I'd like to thank you for serving and keeping our freedom. God Bless You

[Tcyiora]

Thank you for applying! Great application I must say! Very lengthy and informative.

And to answer your question about the guild, We're getting close to our 2 year anniversary! There are some people here that know each other through games, some that know each other in real life (like Gaiutus and myself), and some that just apply on their own.

Ah are you getting that problem with the TOR site too..? It hasn't been letting me log on... each time I have to change my password, it's rather annoying. I wouldn't worry too much about getting your link to us, just get it when you can!

I agree with you on the MMO's vs. console games. I really enjoy the socializing in MMO's, something about playing with others just feels so much more epic, and it's way more fun!

Unfortunately we're closed for Jedi Knights... but who knows, maybe there will be a spot open soon So until then, or you decide to switch to a trooper haha, you'll probably be put on a waiting list if you get accepted, which I hope you do!
Good luck!

Hey there Namluck,
I must say, that your application is a very impressive one So I don`t have many questions, and Cyn answered yours.

So I will just ask, what other than MMO games do you enjoy?


Wish you all the best, and stay safe out there mate

[Atka Talin]

I too am interested in what MMOs you are currently playing

And besides that, I'm very impressed by this application. What a read! But, that means you took time with it, and we respect that here. So, good luck!

I only put Jedi Knight because I can't decide between Trooper, Jedi Knight, or Counsulars. I wish I had a chance to test the game! THE DAY after I deployed I got an invite to test the game.. /sigh. I see that Troopers are open but would that be open for Vanguard, Commando, or both?

Thank you very much for reading my application! Please keep the questions coming.

[Atka Talin]

I do believe that you can be any advanced class, it's the main class that we ask you to specify on at first. So, since we're fairly balanced anyway, any would work.

I really did love playing WoW. I started playing it when it was released and played it until Wrath of the Litch King. I still think that it is the best game made so far and I have very high hopes for TOR to change that, but I can't go back to it because I have played it so much. One of my favorite games was Planet Side because it was the first MMO FPS that I have played. I joined a "guild" and we would use advanced tactical strategy to take over bases and it had some intense battles. I am surprised they have not come out with a sequel. I enjoyed playing SWG because they had a lot of aspects to the game, especially with crafting. I also liked how players built their own cities and players had their own homes. I loved flying around in space with ships that I built, taking salvaged ship parts and combing them to make better parts. I played a bounty hunter before they changed the combat system, but after that the game lost me.

As for right now. I am not playing any MMO games because of the slow internet speeds in Iraq, but I will tell you what console games I am playing. I just got Shogun 2 Total War. Great game, it scales down the map so it is just in Japan, but the combat is balanced and the campaign map requires thought into, trade, alliances, honor, influence. I started playing L.A. Noire for the PS 3. I think this game revolutionizes facial expressions in games and has a great story, on the down side, the combat is repetitive and the side missions are all the same. I know this is not a game but I am watching the entire series of Smallville. Bought all ten seasons for $30 at a local shop here. It is a ripped copy but for some reason that is not illegal here?

Anyway, it is late here, 8 hour difference (from central time). I will be back on tomorrow to answer any questions you all have of me.

Awh that sucks! D: I'd be like... /facedesk lol, if that happened to me XD

And like Atka said, you can choose whatever advance class you like!

[Crox Rava]

Just a really exemplary app, if I may say so. Very impressive.

Have you always lived in Texas? My family and I moved to Seattle just over a year ago from the Ft. Worth area. Where are you from?

What is it that turns you to away from playing a Smuggler?

[Nwahs]

Hello Namluck! First off I want to say thank you for serving your country in the Army. We have quite a few military members in the guild, and the guild is really supportive of what we do, so you should fit right in. I'm a 2nd Lieutenant in the Air Force myself!

Your application was outstanding. I really got a sense of who you are. Being in the military I also believe that if you're not early you're late. I really enjoyed learning about why you chose to serve the Republic rather than the Empire. I think you'll be happy with your decision.

Now, I have to ask about your class choice: My suggestion is that if you always loved healing, but you want to try DPS... I would highly suggest to you the Trooper or Consular classes. Because if you choose Trooper Commando (which I thought would also be a good fit since you're in the Army), you'll be able to trait either as a Healer or DPS and be able to switch between the two. Same with Jedi Sage... you could either be a ranged Force DPS person or a Healer, and switch between the two, although we're not sure how expensive it is at this point to re-spec, but I am pretty sure it was confirmed that you could do so, the only permanent choice is your Advanced Class. The Jedi Knight, however, can only tank or DPS and has no healing option, so you'd be screwed if you decided you missed healing. And trust me, I love healing and tanking very much and I am already getting that urge to want to heal again, I will definitely have a healing alt myself that will be level cap at all times and ready to heal guildmates if needed. And to be honest, I think we will be a little lacking in the heals department, according to some recent polls we've conducted, though not a good amount of the guild has voted.

Just food for thought! But again, play what you want and consider it

[Blind Equilibrium]

Really great app, at some points with the game history and character choices it was kinda creepy since it nearly mirrored my own.

Retired Navy here, always nice to see more military around You one of those officer types or the kind of military that works for a living (<3 u Nwahs )

Best of luck on selection!

[Captain Bubbles]

Hi Namluck! What a great application! You really took a lot of time and consideration answering all the questions - it was very lengthy and informational and fun to read.

I am EXTREMELY impatient myself I always have to be early to appointments, the airport and raids. I never want to be holding people back because I'm late and I definitely appreciate punctuality in others.

So, you played EQ2 for a little bit? What class did you play?

Also, what nonsense is this, "I want to be everything except a smuggler"?! Pftt! *wounded feelings* Seriously though, I'm curious to know why the other classes interest you more, especially since the smuggler can be a healer too!

As others have mentionned, the jedi knight class is closed for recruitment at the moment, but if it really interests you, I suggest you stick around the forums (while on the waiting list) and get to know everyone a little better until a spot opens up. Welcome!

[Pax Eternus]

Hey Namluck. What a nice, solid app. You made a real effort to answer the questions precisely.

I'm a bit miffed that you dismissed us smugglers, lol, but that's fine, it's not like we don't talk bad about all the other classes in our vent channel, hehehehe.

My question would be, do you see yourself playing other games than SWTOR with the guild?

I have lived in Texas my whole life. I was born and raised in Plano TX and then I went to college at the University of Texas at Arlington. So I was very close to you. I am currently station at Ft. Hood TX with the 1st Cav. Who knows, maybe we have bumped into each other before.

I was turned away from the smuggler because I don't think the character would fit my personality. The smuggler is the rebel of the Republic and by no means do I consider myself a rebel. I prefer the uniform look that the other three classes have. I like the Consular because it reminded me of the priest I used to play on WoW. I liked the Jedi Knight because it looked fun DPS class, and possibly a really fun class to play in PvP. Honestly I didn't want to be a Trooper at first because I thought it was going to be a overpopulated class, but the class fits my personality perfect, 1 because I am a soldier and 2 because I run a company of medics and when I saw that they were adding a combat medic aspect to the game it drew me in even more.

Thanks again for the post. I love hearing your responses and look forward to answering any more questions you may have.
