Star Wars: The Old Republic Pre-Beta Gameplay Impressions
Star wars the old republic will be the newest addition of video games to the star wars franchise. Not like earlier role playing games primarily based on the star wars back story, SWTOR will be a fully fledged MMORPG. It’s good to know that Bioware the earlier creators of the final couple of very well selling star wars rpgs such as knights of the old republic, is again on the helm and developing this.
One of many new touted options of the SWTOR MMORPG is one thing they name “flashpoint”, and is one of the greatest renovations to the game, and possibly to MMORPGs; to have come in a long time. Although it has a fancy name, in SWTOR flashpoint refers to how the game will create and instance dungeons. A flashpoint is an instanced dungeon that’s created to be more tightly woven into your personal game storyline.
Most MMORPGs are closely action centered and the storyline generally is a little bit of a throw away, meaning it’s there simply to present you a vague sense of some motive for the locales you happen to be in. Nonetheless, the purpose then is basically simply to kill monsters to get a) XP or b) loot. Story line isn’t actually the main focus. What do you do with XP and loot? Simple you move from PvM (player vs monster) into the PvP (player vs player) realm where all that loot and XP will get pitted in opposition to different players.
Although many will enjoy pitting their abilities and wits against other skilled opponents online, I personally liked to play MMO rpgs cooperatively and enjoy the storyline and surroundings as I go through it. Too often when playing an MMO the concept of enjoying the journey gets lost as you blindly get sucked into just levelling (i.e. grinding) to hit the PvP tiers.
That is where SWTOR becomes fascinating, with Bioware behind the development and knowing their insane build quality for good well thought out rpgs and storylines I can’t wait to see how the game will finally become like when it is released.
Poker Table Etiquettes
There are certain basic poker table etiquettes that one needs to follow whether one is playing at home or in the casino. Following such rules also allow a smooth and hindrance free game.
First and foremost one should not play out of turn or jump the gun in ones excitement. Once one has folded his cards though it is tempting to talk about the game one should refrain from doing so as there may be others still in the game. One should also not show their cards even by mistake before the game is completely and finally over. Splashing the pot is another wrong thing to do. Though it seems exciting to push ones chips towards the middle of the table (as shown in movies), it is not correct .Rather one should stack the chips neatly in front of himself.
It is also incorrect to make string bets. Being rude or mean while losing a hand is not really the right thing to do. So cursing and using rude names should not be the way of expressing disgust over a lost hand. Paying attention while on the game is also important; one should keep abreast of the game. Talking on mobiles while the game is on too can be counterproductive.
Besides these there are some additional points to note for a game at Casinos. First of all in a casino one shouldnt just walk to any vacant table and sit down. Upon entering the poker room each player needs to sign at the reception desk. One must tell the host the game he or she is interested in. If there is a vacancy he or she would be seated immediately. If all tables are full they will take the players initials and call as and when there is an opening.
Some casinos have huge boards where they write the players name or initials. When the players name is called the Poker room host ushers him to his table. In a casino it is mandatory to know what the bet is when it is the players turn. One must pay attention to amount of the bet made by the first player. Also one needs to be aware whether the bet was raised. These few basic yet not too difficult to follow rules are incorporated in poker tables each game would become a truly enjoyable experience.
