Clarysta Joins the Dark Side

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie


When you see a naked Uruk running into the keep with 2 champs and a guard behind her, that’s ok just ignore her, she doesn’t really want help.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”

The Black Arrow screams like a girl, especially when she’s running away from freeps. Which is an excellent tactic when there’s backup in the keep, ready to throw a heal or a slow or ambush in a way that would seemed planned. Or at least helpful.  But not this time. This time, the word apparently went out, “Oh, look there’s Clarrow getting chased. Wonder how far she’ll get this time. Hahaha.” Geez, guys, thanks.

Because creep apparently refers to personality as well as faction. It’s definitely not easy out there.
Creeps are pretty mean, exclusive, and they get emo easily. Especially right now, when raid v 6 is the typical freep:creep ratio at night when I’m playing. Clarrow has managed to get to rank 5, but the first 3 ranks she had to get completely solo, before one of the tribes took pity on her and started inviting her to group.  Creepside on Arkenstone is so sad right now, Clarrow has actually made it into the top 15 infamy gain on one of the leader boards.

But Clarrow is giggling all the way to the rez circle. This creepside stuff is fun, as long as you don’t take it seriously. And although the numbers are better in groups, running solo when you’re outnumbered can be awesome.
Naked Uruk charges into a full raid, screaming GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Pretends she’s a champ and tags most of the raid with her sad little AoE melee skill. Manages to run a circle through the raid and back to the keep, and SURVIVES. Evade Evade Evade Evade Evade
When that evade skill actually works, it works well.

The Lovely Lady Captain is taking a break, waiting for something to do besides escort dwarves-with-dynamite in an attempt to earn enough gold Malledrihm things to buy another Malledrimh horse. (Since I have no idea how to spell that, I’m just going to randomly place the “h” wherever from now on. Hopefully that won’t cost me one of my gold Malledhirm things.)

Taking her place for now – Clarrow Goes Pewpewpew. Clarrow wants the Captain-Foe title (ha!), so pity Nimitar and Halindale, since they’re the only captains that go out to the Moors on a regular basis. I figure they only need to die 245 times more each. Muahahaha…..oh…..hm......yeah….that might take a little while.

I can’t tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
I can’t breathe but I still fight while I can fight

I would have posted my own video, but this was nicer.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more of SW:TOR. Hopefully they'll have it next fall at PAX Prime, which I've already decided I'm going to attend. There were HUNDREDS of people in line for the TOR demo, so no chance in H-E-double hello of getting to play it. There were a bunch of screens up though, so you could watch as folks were playing. The animation reminded me of SWG.

SW:TOR is still an unknown for me.
