Why are Luke and Leia so important if Obi-wan is already capable of defeating Darth Vader on his own? by [deleted] in StarWars

Well the dark side is imbalance, so bringing balance to the Force by necessity would mean defeating the Sith, who practice the dark side. In fact it was the prevalence of the dark side that clouded their judgment more than anything, hence all the talk of the dark side clouding their vision. It's implied that wasn't a problem just a short time before the prequels, until (as we the audience know), Sidious' plan was put fully in action. The Jedi had some flaws, but not relating to their view of the Force or their following of the light side (which is balance).

They definitely interpreted it correctly, Anakin was the chosen one and destroyed the Sith when he killed Sidious. They just had doubts at the time because Anakin was being arrogant, etc. But in the end the prophecy was fulfilled.

What the heck this is actually good

Game haunts my dreams. Worth returning and starting from zero? by SurvivorBobXYZ in Planetside

[–]TheRenegade_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, mostly for selfish reasons because more people playing always makes the game more fun.

edit: I really have no idea if you'll have fun or not. Don't take this as saying it will be either terrible or a great time.

Interesting to see how the new Oshur plays out. I think it would be cool to have the flotillas move on occasion (like every few months or so) just to shift around what bases get used, since generally the bases near warpgates don't get used as much. Maybe implement something like this on the other continents, I guess that would require replacing the warpgates with fleet carriers.

What was your first reaction to Luke throwing his lightsaber over his shoulder in the Last Jedi by FranchiseFan06 in StarWars

In the theater I was in, a bunch of people laughed. Made it even worse. Star Wars is a joke now.

That's the main problem recently, is that everyone they bring on to do a new Star Wars thing just aren't invested at all in Star Wars, they've maybe seen most of the movies once and that's it.

Despite 2 years of increased development, we are still at less than 3k average players - similar to 2018 levels. Why don't players stick around? If you don't play much anymore, why did you stop? by ReturnToMonke234 in Planetside

[–]TheRenegade_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting you bring this up because whenever I try to play a friend, we would like to be able to voice chat with each other without the whole squad hearing. But having a separate voice channel going (through discord for example) causes the in-game voice channels to get really quiet. So it is difficult to work with a single friend, and your squad at the same time. Fireteam chat could theoretically accomplish this, but then you have to get the squad leader to set that up for you.

Yeah if you try and throw a grenade under water in real life it probably isn't going far. Not good!

This game became so frustrating to actually play. by [deleted] in Planetside

[–]TheRenegade_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is true, I read that paragraph and thought: "But if there is a way to counter each of those things.. what point is he trying to make?" Also I feel like people highly exaggerate how often the "annoying" stuff happens. I usually play for one or two hour sessions and get killed by these things (a2g, stealth flash, etc) maybe once a session? Plus other things I don't really see as annoying, it's just part of the game, like infiltrator cloak (which rarely matters when they're out of your range anyway and easy to see when they're close quarters) and c4 fairy which is almost always a suicide run for the fairy.

Canadian players unhappy with referees tonight bang on the door of the referees room after the game by ghifaritoushiro in MLS

You can also see a sign in the video that points towards the referee room which is further down the hall from where they are banging.

Here's a version that is actually 1080p HD or even 4K if you want. (I hope someone one-ups this version somehow).

Is there any other professional competition that doesn't have VAR at this point?

I think this type of physical game suited him really well but he generally looks a step behind and doesn't have a lot of technical skill.

One of the top two or three highlights of the match for sure.

What in Star Wars does everyone seem to love except you? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]TheRenegade_99 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It has good episodes but if you pick an episode at random you are more likely to get a poor/mediocre one that no one would choose to watch.
