I'm bored, let's talk

Must....Resist....Urge....Vong hate....Unmeasurable....

I don't know if it's possible for anyone to hate the Vong more than I. I loathe their existence and wish their creator was violently beaten.

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

Terrible idea is terrible.

We've got bigger guns these days too and everybody has access to Tier 10 armors. The Vong ain't the threat they used to be. Sure, they are now immune to the 1-hit-kill pollen these days? (Worst idea ever. Thx factory. >.<) But automatic rifles, personal ray shields, and phirk plates can really leverage their home court advantage. Elemental Mages such as Fire Shapers have also learned to crispy critter them something fantastic. They still bleed and die just as easy as any other NPC.

Lol. Just about every Sith writer takes pride in being able to read this forum. Just fyi.

Love me some Vong Tech, nope don't dislike any of it...

Seriously, you wanna know how to beat vong... Pull the air out of their lungs... it was done in cannon. (Will find Book) Drop a literal ton of something on them. Force Bellow, seriously it rules. Electric Judgment. Protection Bubble stops their attacks. Those Amphistaffs are weak against electricity, so pack an extendable shock baton. Crab Armor hates fire. Get some napalm on the gills and they die. There are more ways but I ain't gonna list every way to beat Vong. Often their real resistance and abilities are overstated, drawing from the early books and not the books that take place after 4 years of dealing with them. In a few months some Jedi were mauling through them in cannon and the Vong had to resort to putting bounties on them. On Myrkr, 16 padawans and 1 Knight killed Hundreds of them over the course of a few days without proper gear. Ganner killed them in the thousands. Luke was said to go through them like crazy in the last book.

Finally Vong are known to be weaker than Wookiees and have trouble with Noghri. If they are picking up tanks and chucking them, PM the writer. If that don't work, bring in an FA. (Didn't read the posts that don't concern me, don't know).

Really the only thing that Vong handle is Direct Telekinesis. You guys are Magic Wizards that can take a piece of metal and hurl it with MAGIC through them.

Also... Working on a Magnetic Accelerator Rifle... 6km/s tungsten rod through a line of folks.

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

Lol so you're telling me I just need to make sure that every post I make includes.

"I haz all the powarz and wepawnz and armarzzz I r the bestest!"

And we're good. Got it.

Not at all. Basic telekinesis can beat them through indirect action. Air from their lungs. Anakin was able to make an airbubble underwater. You can handle a vacuum bubble in atmosphere

Go easy on the stiff drinks, killer.

Amphistaffs, hydrostaffs. Either way, my last encounter with one of those left me with acid scarring.

Don't worry, I returned the favour immediately. <_<

[member="Varus Shatterstar"] Nah man. Play how you want to play. It's all good. Challenge and embracing new opponents is part of the game. Your post, your way.

I'm just mentioning that Vong are not the Uber they used to be. My characters carry around disruptor rifles, wear duraplast, and can use Force Shield. I've covered all the bases without a single Factory entry, Dev thread, or NPC Heavy Weapons squad. I'm just saying... We've got easy options.

 

[Seraphina Shel'tah]

The principal of the Vong is why I hate them. The same reason I find dragons in Star Wars to be idiotic. The bastardization of the Star Wars genre by bringing in "alter dimensions and/or galaxies and/or laughably over the top species" is what ruins the entire immersion of Star Wars to me. The moment I see someone writing like that, I bail on the thread. It's pointless, boring, and ruins any semblance of the brand to me. If you want to write a Vong, that's fine, but I don't want to write with you in any capacity.

In my own opinion the EU is nothing but garbage that was thankfully severed from Star Wars canon by the Gods of Disney. (Thank you so much Disney.)

Pull some air out of their lungs. Sure, I could do that. Other seasoned knights too, but not sure about every knight. Padawans? Please. If you think a Padawan trying to do something like that to someone's Vong wouldn't ruffle feathers you cray cray. Also, what's the average Republic soldier to do?

Never said it wouldn't ruffle feathers. But then again, ruffled jimmies is why this thread got started. Not saying your wrong, didn't read what happened to you. but there are answers. That one is just my favorite for that scene from Avatar: The legend of Korra.

Padawans (Hand selected Padawans) dropped vong with blasts from T-21 light repeating blasters, and disruptors are stronger than that and were standard for the NJO. I am saying Cannon Vong armor is over embellished here, cause it confused Jedi for like a year, then they were bangaranging it to pieces.

Oh hey. I'm not trying to sway you into it. The Tech Game is ridiculous these days. I can't tell you how many times I've had to handwavium an encounter because somebody had a singing sword of alchemical darkness or an ultrachrome battle droid using Vaapad. Lol.

It's just writing. They write in. I write them out. Pew pew pew.

 

[Varus Shatterstar]

Jesus, woman. Take it easy. I am not up for when your poking turns into tickling that eventually becomes rape.

 

[OriginsoftheJedi]

I feel like the idea of extra terrestrial extra terrestrials was kind of cool, but I don't think they way they were executed was very good at all.

I would never do such a thing. I am classy.

Gear has changed dramatically since Day 1. That first PvP thread in the Senate Building in 2013. I wrote Pherson's Trooper squad as having: Semi-auto rifles, durasteel armor, and proximity det-charges. Today? We have automatic slug throwers w/ custom ammo, duraplast Tier 8 EVA, and pressure-sensitive variable thermite. And that's just Popo's most basic gear for Pub troops. Lol.

2013. NPCs got killed like tissue paper. 2015. NPCs can take a Jedi Apprentice 1v1. It's crazy. The Factory was a game changer.
