Farewell...

Well, I guess this is the official note... I'm leaving... more or less permanently...

I'm staying on as a student ( as you can see )in the event I ever feel the need to get on the servers... but I doubt that, that's one of the main reasons I'm leaving, playing is like a chore when you have 12FPS from having 18 people playing at once.

There are various other reasons that I won't get into. The official reason you can tell you grandkids is that Datheus left because of computer troubles...

Most of you probably don't even know who I am...

Alas...

:( Dath, you have been a great sparring partner and teacher. Maybe after you play another game for a while you can come back or something.

Man, I feel your pain. I felt the same way when I had to give up on other MP games i've played in the past....you're right, i don't know you, but I'm sure as hell would have been happy to get to know you. If that is your decision, then that's it. Farewell, and May the Force Be With you...

you're...leaving...

I know who you are, you trialed me for learner! :) that seems so long ago :)

I never saw you much other than that, and i never took one of your classes, because, back then i wasn't really taking classes and nowadays my schedule is wierd, i can't tell if i'll be available or not...

anyway, it is indeed a farewell, and may the force be with you

Well then. Just so you know, just because I don't post often doesn't mean I don't lurk this place multiple times every day...

I also never met you, but from what everyone else is saying you're pretty deck. Hope to see you sometime in the future. Sounds like you were a great addition to JA, and I'm sorry to see you go.

But good luck in future endeavors.

D, you were the first person I remember to have stood by me and taught me many things. I still remember your cage escape, and the instant DFA (you blink and they were dead). I bid you fare well on your journey, and that we may keep in touch.

Fare thee well, May we meet again. May the force be with you

I'm leaving because not only does my computer bites the big one (I've tried the force model, didn't help), but because I've lost my passion for JK2, I still like the game, I just don't play as much as I used to... maybe only once every week or two, and that's just not enough.

As a trainer, I felt it was my obligation to step down as I wasn't doing my job anymore... I was out of practice and was losing skill. While skill isn't neccisarily required to be a trainer, it's somewhat embarrasing to teach your class something, try to demonstrate it and not even be able to recreate you instruction...

Maybe if I feel a rebirth for JK2, I'll consider becoming seriously involved again, specifically if an expansion pack comes out...

I'll try to continue to play an active role on the forums and on IRC; I've been here too long to simply roll over and quietly die!

I may stop by the servers once in a month or so, during the late hours when my computer is able to handle it...

Until then...

Sad to hear the news, I never even met you, but almost took your class, right before it was blown from the classes list into oblivion.

Hope to see you around someday by chance :D

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Have you ever tried turning on "force player models" in the game options menu? It forces all player models to look like your model which GREATLY improves frame rate if you are using one of the models that came with the game.

BTW I know who you are: Great Teacher.
Well actually I've never been able to take a class from you but...

...don't leave.

Datheus people know who you are. There have been a lot of people asking what happened to your yellow stance class and wondering why it was cancelled and they can't figure out where it went to.

Well good-bye maybe you'll find more fun somewhere else.
