worth it?

DarthEtch1 · 07-16-2006, 03:17 AM

I was wondering if being a swashy is worth being in qeynos. I like the idea of playing
a pirate, but kinda like to be more on the bad side and not a do gooder type SMILEY

(lol a good pirate)

Thanks and sorry if anyone had once posted asking this before, I gave it a look and didnt see anything :smileyhappy:

There is no real restriction involved in being from a particular city, no group limitations, no mail limitation, you can even transfer money through the guild bank to the other faction. To me Qeynos is basically a place to store my goods and buy up new masters, other than that, nearly all my time is spent out in the field, at later levels, if you feel the need for change, you can even base yourself in Maj'Dul, attain a court faction and you can buy a residents permit, get a house, set up shop, all that mumbo jumbo, you don't even have to go to Qeynos anymore.

DarthEtch1 · 07-16-2006, 03:33 AM

being from Qeynos, do you still get kicked out of freeport if you sneak in?

Only if you get near a gaurd

aubreyy · 07-16-2006, 05:00 AM

Think of yourself as a synic. Maybe watch a few Errol Flyn movies. Your not a pirate per say, but youll do something pirate like in the face of need. Perhaps someone who would critsize the queen, but cut down anyone who threatens her in a time of need. Being in Qeynos fits us well IMO. Perhaps someone the gaurds would love to through in the dungeon had they the smallest bit of evidence against you, and yet, you kidnap the herione in the heat of battle and save the day in the end. This type of character cannot exsist in Freeport. And an exile citizen would be more of a mercenary

DarthEtch1 · 07-16-2006, 05:13 AM

I like how you said that, playing a role that people might expect the worst from, but can very well surpirse them by doing something noble. I think a pirate often walks the fence between right and wrong :smileyhappy:

Ri · 07-16-2006, 06:13 AM

I see us as Orlando Bloom in the first Pirates of the Carribean. . .he even gets the hat at the end!

incorrect actuallyguadrs are now KOS (kill on sight) if a guard is grey, they act like any other grey con and leave you alone, watch out for the x4 epic guards wandering around.

We are in no way pirates. Pirates are smelly, often missing teeth (and various extremities- it's hard to give a lady a backrub with a hook for a hand), infected with scurvy (and often other diseases not to be mentioned in polite circles). Additionally, the women they get (unles they are a very successful captain) are the type to hang around bars in port cities (see the bit about diseases). Swashbucklers are actually Qeynosian Ninjas! Think about it. Ninja's work from stealth. So do swashies. Ninja's are good at tracking down and killing things. So are swashies. Ninja's know that basic black is always in style. Swashies are the best dressed toons in all of norath. Ninjas (at least the good guy ones in movies) Can kill small armies of enemies without brakeing a sweat. Swashies kill large swathes of mobs at once. Ninjas like to flip out and kill things. Inspiration+huricane+En Gaurde= one man wood chipper. What more proof do you need?

No, rangers are for people who read lotr one time to many and want to be like legolas SMILEY

. They also use bow and arrow, whereas ninjas and swashies use thrown weapons. While ninjas seem more reserved than swashies, know that it's mearly a cultural thing. And who's to say they don't boast like the best of us in the ninja lockerroom at the end of the day?

-Comrad · 07-18-2006, 06:56 AM

No one really seems to get what a swashbuckler is, it is not a pirate...just look at wikipedia's definition:Swashbuckler is a term that came about in the 16th century and was applied to rough, noisy and boastful swordsmen. It came about due to the popularity of the fighting style using a side-sword with a buckler in the off-hand, which was filled with much "swashing and making a noise on the buckler"

Today the term "swashbuckler" is used to denote a particular type of character and is usually applied to fictional characters. A swashbuckler will display a strong sense of justice, an aptitude for and enjoyment of fighting, and calmness, class, and wit even during combat. The archetypical swashbuckler is a handsome young rapier-wielding European man from the 16th to the 18th century, though as "swashbuckler" is a character type, it is not confined to time or place. The showiness of this type of swashbuckler is particularly appropriate as regards stage fighting, which has more in common with the art of fencing, in which the fighting is a stylized form originally used to teach the principles of actual dueling, while real sword fighting aims at bodily harm.

Swashbucklers have made appearances in works of literature such as The Three Musketeers, Ivanhoe and Scaramouche. Even today, the romantic appeal of the swashbuckler still endures. Contemporary movies that feature swashbuckling include The Count of Monte Cristo, Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Mask of Zorro, and Lives No Longer Ours.

Many subgenres are distinguished by their tendency to include large amounts of swashbuckling in their plots, such as fantasy of manners and Ruritanian Romance.

from wikipedia.comThus we swashbucklers are not pirates, we are adventurous, and often boastful, swordsmen. It seems originally a swashbuckler would actually use a buckler or shield...not dual wield, lol.

DarthEtch1 · 07-18-2006, 05:00 PM

woah ok, I learned I need to choose my words a bit better as well as the topic I choose to
talk about lol

first off let me just say I was only really just asking if picking this class was
worth being in happy all day qeynos with the many children who run up to you asking if
you ever saw a gnoll before. *shudders*. As far as the pirate bit

((I like the idea of playing a pirate)) Was saying here that was the role in which I was planning on
rping ((but kinda like to be more on the bad side and not a do gooder type (lol a good pirate)))
here I trying to say my char is not going to be evil, but not a goody goody either

*pants*

I gotta say I dont really get the whole swashy = Ninja thing but ok SMILEY

I never said that a swashbuckler was a pirate, but if you goto http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/Swashbuckler
under Thesaurus a swashbuckler can mean pirate, as well as rouge, traveler, daredevil etc etc (sorry don't
see any ninja in there..heheh

And yes your right, if you search Dictionary part is says all that good stuff you spoke of, ie sword-wielding with a
buckler type thing.

Anyways a swashbuckler might not be a pirate, but it can be. But as far as two moives you pointed
out, The count of monte cristo and Pirates of the Caribbean....Im not 100% sure on this, but
I'm pretty sure I saw pirates in em. And if a swashbuckler is Zorro......*shudders*. Let not go
there shall we.

-Comrad · 07-18-2006, 05:14 PM

lol, sorry. i posted all that and forgot to make my point. I wanted to say that I think the swashy is fun to play in that you can play the part of the adventurer's adventurer. As in if you plan on rping it is fun in that you can brag, boast, joke and be very up front and still fit perfectly in character. I also wanted to point out that the "nature" of a swashy lends itself to many playstyles...you can use a buckler if you want, a single sword (if you use the achievement system), or even dual wield. You don't have to be a goody goody to be a swashy, you just have to have fun while in character; boast during/after a fight, feel free to taunt, and you can pick on the "good" guys for being good and the "bad" guys for being bad. It should be alot of fun

You can play as a pirate if you want but i think it'd be more fun to play the adventurer who picks on pirates and the guards who chase them down, lol

Wildfury77 · 07-18-2006, 05:21 PM

YEH HAH!!!In your face! those that say *i shouldn't be using sword + shield* line.......Who's the swashie!!! (not you lot it seems) SMILEY

DarthEtch1 · 07-18-2006, 05:25 PM

adventurer's adventurer? Is that like a man's man? :smileyvery-happy:

Yes I agree swashy seem it be a lot of fun to rp, you can go so many ways with them rp wise. Thanks for clearing up what you where trying to say, or forgot to say :smileywink:

the flu · 07-18-2006, 08:48 PM

The ninja thing is just me trying not to sound like a broken record. Seems every newbie who shows up wanting to play a swashie comes in saying "AAARRRRRGH MATEYS!". I am vehemently against this, as I'm not a pirate (I bellive brigands are more piraty than swashies to be honest). And since acourding to the internet, pirates and ninjas are polar opposites, and both fit the idea of a rogue about the same (chaotic good or chaotic evil depending on your city), I decided to use them this time rather than 007 or indiana jones like I sometimes have done in the past.Besides, everyone knows that ninjas could kick pirate butt any day of the week.

DarthEtch1 · 07-18-2006, 09:53 PM

Well sadly I'm not a newbie :smileyvery-happy: on the bored yes. I started playing eq2 after it first came out. Sadly because of a family members illness I've not played since sometime around Dec I think. So starting fresh and all that, lots been changed since I was palying. And gawd no, I'm not going to play as one of them arrrggg mateys have you seen my hook and wooden leg? arrrrgggg! Brigands do seems good themselves, but I don't want to look like I've been stealing hamburgers all day :smileywink:

Arrrrrrrgggg that be all ye we lass, arrrrrrrgggg!

My swashy RP is mostly influences by Syrano Debergerac (sp). The old black and white movie. That is not pirate like at all. A true swashcuckler uses a sharp tongue while dancing around a hundred guards. The king bellows for your capture while the princess giggles at your wit. Not ARRRR

-Comrad · 07-19-2006, 02:12 AM

now that sounds like swashbuckler IMO

GrudgePluck · 07-19-2006, 10:53 PM

Ninja's would have more in common with assassians. Ninja's are basicaly faceless silent tools of death. Not evil, not good, and definitely not chaotic or emotional. Really nothing like a swashbuckler who's personality is as defining as his skills with a sword. :smileywink:

Not evil, not good, and definitely not chaotic or emotional. Really nothing like a swashbuckler who's personality is as defining as his skills with a sword. :smileywink:
