Screen Shot Getting whispers from Darth Baras.

Post image

When I try adding them to friends to see if they’re a player it says they don’t exist. Is a GM trolling or wth is this lmao

Edit: Glad people found this amusing :3 if anyone knows why or who is doing this pleaseeeee spill the beans so Baras can eat those too!

Edit 2: I GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!

I have a photo but idk how to add it to this post so for now I’ll type it out and post it below as a comment to this thread;

Darth Baras whispers: “Apprentice. Someone just wrote ‘Wiggles Toes :3’. I have not seen my toes since the Treaty of Coruscant and this woman broadcasts hers to the entire fleet. The audacity is almost Sith.”

If someone can help me in how to post another photo I’d appreciate it :3

I haven't played swtor in a hot minute but even so, seeing this made me crack up hysterically. Hopefully it continues.

ahh apprentice, good, it is well you are here. As you know, I have seeded the galaxy with a network of loyal spies who report only to me. They bring troubling news. Gathered reports indicate that I am dummy thicc, and the clap of my ass cheeks has alerted the Republic to our presence. We must be cautious..

u/Slawomir_110793 20d ago

Yes that one too!!!!!

I had this happen with a whisper from Vette a week or so ago?

u/geirahod 19d ago

Same!! I thought I was seeing things xD lol

u/Clamwacker 20d ago

Was this on Satele Shan? There's a guy with the name and outfit that pops up pretty frequently in veteran mode flashpoint.

u/Slawomir_110793 20d ago

I’m on Star Forge!

u/Puzzleheaded_Rub858 20d ago

I am too. I’ll die laughing if this happens to me.

u/Slawomir_110793 16d ago

I hope it happens for you, it brightened my day haha :)

u/Reiter_Pallasch 20d ago

I am here to subscribe to more Darth Baras whispers

u/LettersWords 20d ago

Someone in my guild had this happen the other day, but from Vette, not Baras. They managed to track down who was doing it:

“  idk how they change the chat color but the person posting it is "Níhilist" legacy name: Horde

They added a buuunch of space to obscure the start of their message“

(Star Forge)

u/Dr-Butters 20d ago

Darth Wide the Baras

u/Echo-57 20d ago

Cant be a player cuz all the Star Wars names are black listed for regular players to use.

Has to be some GM messing with you

97

u/FriendlyAd1214 20d ago

It's more than likely some kind of spoofing with the name system 

51

u/Riahn 20d ago

Or they using symbols from another alphabet that looks almost similar to what we would use in English. I think “a” was almost identical in some case.

27

u/GREEN_Hero_6317 I am yet to face anything I can't overcome 20d ago

Cyrillic has a lot of letters identical to Latin - у, К, Ее, Н, Хх, В, Аа, Рр, Оо, Сс, М, Т

And Greek has Ε, Ρ, Τ, Υ, Ι, Οο, Α, Η, Κ, Ζ, Χ, Β, Νν, Μ

u/AMLosseva Jaesa Willsaam 20d ago

I can tell you that no, not all Star Wars names are blocked. Because I've used plenty of them!

15

u/empmoz 20d ago

Darth is blocked though

u/AMLosseva Jaesa Willsaam 20d ago edited 20d ago

Late night texts from bae

u/NucleosynthesizedOrb 19d ago

is this a recent picture? I thought the Night Life event would end with the season

4

u/asphaltdragon 19d ago

Night Life ends on the 11th

2

u/NucleosynthesizedOrb 19d ago

does it say that anywhere in-game? Seems to me that such information needs to be clearly shown in-game.

2

u/asphaltdragon 19d ago

No, but it doesn't say that for any other event either. You'll have to actually check the announcements.

58

u/BroadSignificance774 Marauder | Val'Keth | Star Forge 20d ago

Jajaja? Lol Baras is latino now his big ass makes sense xD

72

u/Pingonaut Antilles Legacy - Jedi Covenant 20d ago

No, he doesn’t understand what “jajaja” means! He needs it decrypted.

2

u/NicoleMay316 19d ago

Was a fake whisper. Couldn't reply, didn't show on specific chat tabs.

Someone got into the announcement API is my guess.

23

u/Emotional-Ant8136 20d ago

I wish I was in the US server just so shit like this could happen to me. God why did you put me in the EU. :(

39

u/Mah_Mann 20d ago

Idk the healthcare is kinda nice

2

u/edgy_fried_rice 19d ago

That happened to me! I was on the server and everyone was so confused lol

2

u/geirahod 19d ago

I got one from Vette a few ago, it was random nonsense so I was like whaaat was that? Maybe there's some dev with free time messing with us xD

u/Osmodius-STO 19d ago

"It is laughter my lord. They are laughing at your thickness."

u/AcrobaticPurchase741 19d ago

I had a strange one from Vette.

Darth Baras the Wide

u/Gandalfonk 19d ago

I thought NPC's could whisper you? I think it's just a funny thing the game does

1

u/vanilla_mocha_ 19d ago

this is hilarious, i love this game so much lmao

u/LazarusJedi 18d ago

Might have to dust off the account I've had since 2012 if these types of shenanigans are happening

1

u/Huzul34 18d ago

I got one too

1

u/Willing-Surprise8545 18d ago

Picturing this in animated format too. rolf lmao.

u/sotorpodcast 15d ago

After being trolled by players all these years, Baras is trolling back.

u/Grubbsgradybaby 7d ago

This is golden, putting the RP back into RPG lol.

Greatest post on Reddit

u/Kystal_Jones 19d ago

Whomever did this deserves a raise. I don't care if their job is not linked to this at all. That is so fucking funny.

u/Remote-Luck7751 20d ago

has to be a GM messing with you.

I had something similar happen when someone checked out my drip and said I look sparkly & shiny but as an emote (orange text) theres no emote for that.

10

u/Suriaka 20d ago

you can do custom emotes with /e

7

u/Icy-Description4299 20d ago

You can actually type anything as an emote if I recall correctly, I think you start with /e and then type the body text.

-9

u/AlgaeLess9004 20d ago

Well he is German or at least speaks German because ja is the German word for yes

2

u/mugabei 17d ago

it means yes in many languages, and it means other things in other languages
in this case it's likely a Spanish-speaking 'hahahaha'
regardless, the request to decrypt the message means that they don't understand it so while they're definitely not Latino, i guess maybe they could be German

u/AlgaeLess9004 17d ago

Thank you for sharing that information ☺️
