Star Warfare: Alien Invasion - (by Freyr Games) - Universal App

[Sheinfell]

Just in case anyone is wondering about me being rather quiet over the last few days:
I am still incredibly busy, and in what little spare time I have I play Tunnel Tail (finished yesterday. Great game, go get it) , Horn (it *is* worth it, DBC ) and Acheron Prime (also highly recommended).
SW just got a bit too repetitive for me, and I needed a change of scenery
Anyways, I am still around, and will come back to SW sooner or later.

And yes, getting more guide content out the door is still top spot on my list, but I cannot work on it in 10-15 minutes chunks. For writing like this, I need an hour or more where I can do things without interruption. And that is a luxury I currently do not have.

Well, hopefully at least work will get a bit more quiet again next week, and leave me with more room to breathe and maybe a slot or two where I can work on the guide.

Good to know you're still alive and kicking

There's been a surprising lull in the number of participants in this thread over the weekend, but to put it in perspective...it's amazing how we still have people talking here at all given how much we've already turned the game inside out.

Anything that'll help us refresh and renew our interests in the game is good, given the relative monotony of it. There was a point where I got dangerously close to putting the game down for good when I had everything I needed... then Freyr released a content update, and I decided to try buying out the store, amongst other things.

I am around, but beyond fighting to get the gold necessary to upgrade a couple of weapons...I seriously need something to make a video of

Might start looking into other games/projects while glancing over here...

-------------

Speaking of which, Sheinfell, remember that speed/bait set-up we tried on Siegfried? I might try making a video of that should you ever feel the need to try chucking a Speedy Gonzales there

Well, Freyr has a "project x" mentioned on their website, with a release estimate of September.
I wish they would be a bit more open about this, e.g. will it be a content update for SW, or a new game (and if yes to that, similar to SW or something completely different) .

Anyways, if SW stays as it is now, and no further content is added, I will put it down for good. There is only so much I can get out of it, as I do not play PvP.

Hope for more content...

Might I suggest setting up some sort of "lounge room" thread in the Players' Group, should you decide to put the game down and/or tire of checking this thread? I'm thinking that's a good pre-text for hanging onto the connections and community we've made from this specific game and thread, and we'd pretty much have free reign to go as "off-topic" as we want if we have no obligation to keep bringing the talk back to Star Warfare specifically

Role-playing games...I would so get stuck back into them right now if university didn't stop me from immersing myself into a storyline properly =.="

Sure that is ok, thanks alot, JK.
Maybe even better that you bet me to it, I started thinking about a thread name, and ended up with "The Undead Ukulele" . Because it was undead's idea, and I thought something that sounds like a pub or cafe would be nice.
So you all got saved by JK, no hawaiian zombie pirate pub

That would've been a rather interesting "haunt", if you know what I mean

------------------

So, an idea that crossed my mind the other day: looking on Youtube, there are already quite a few videos showing various people playing against bosses, including some rather interesting "challenge" ones from "Liselotteaiko" which involve using specific weapons all the way through a boss run. I've got another idea in mind: team-based speedruns.

1. Just as a quick check, would anyone here like to feature alongside me in a video if I follow through with this idea? I'm asking you guys in particular because I know you're a competent bunch
2. How many people here like using the Thunder Armour? Power-geared hybrids should also work quite well for making the boss kneel over, but I'd be particularly interested in getting a team of 3 Thunder users decimating Siegfried and Serpent, if possible

Just testing the waters to see what you guys think of the idea at this point, but please respond if it interests you at all, even if you don't want to be one of the players running alongside me in the proposed video

If we can manage to find a timeslot that fits you, me, and someone else: sure thing, count me in.
Might have to practice with Thunderarmor a bit first, though. By now, I am quite used to having high hp and just duking it out with bosses.

That might just offer you a little incentive to play the game a little more, when you're ready. You and I are similarly turtles, so the amount of speed you get exchanging the the Andromedae Legs for something else is just exhilarating

Take it from me, using the Thunder Armour with an STK pack is a ridiculous thrill: you absolutely have to avoid getting hit, but the amount of mobility and damage you do is utterly obscene. Cygni offers even higher speed, but I don't quite feel as on the edge with that much HP as security. I'll need to get around to trying JK's signature power hybrid later as well, but I like the ability to selectively amplify your speed and power in bursts

------------

For the record, there's a good chance I'll be online again in 24 hours, provided uni hasn't completely drained me of energy. Anyone who's interested, or has any ideas of fun stuff to record, please speak up! I'd almost consider making a little machinima if the game wasn't a third-persoon shooter, of sorts -- the helmet gets in the way too much =.="
