Star Wars: The Old Republic / Do You Want to Raid (Operations)?

« on: January 30, 2012, 05:32:43 PM »

Now that a few of us have hit the big 50, I thought it might be an idea to take a quick poll on who would be up for 8 or 16 man Operations.

So, if you're 50, or nearly there, and are interested in raiding, let me know here, with what class and spec your are also. Then it'll give me some idea of future group make-ups, etc.

*Update*

More of us seem to have hit 50 now, so here's a list of who's there, with their AC/spec if known. If I don't have  your details in the following list, let me know by way of reply:

Caol - Jedi Shadow - DPS
Caradir - Gunslinger - DPS
Ciceron - Jedi Sage - DPS
Clostridium - Vanguard - Tank
Damien - Jedi Sentinel - DPS (not seen Damien on in a while)
Fawcett - Vanguard - DPS/Offtank (my alt)
Kahler - Jedi Guardian - Tank
Kannonnen - Commando - Healer
Kurtt - Jedi Guardian - Tank (me)
Temon - Jedi Sage - Healer
Thaneydar - Gunslinger - DPS
Twinkletoes - Vanguard - Tank
Yyan - Jedi Shadow - Tank

*Update 2*

So I've been looking into Ops group composition, and it seems the ideal/optimum group composition is as follows:

2x Tanks (1 Melee, 1 Ranged)
2x Healers (At least one Sage)
4x DPS (3 Ranged, 1 Melee)

Now, looking at the above list of 50's, I reckon we could probably put together a decent 8 man ops group based on the above.

*Update 3*

First (and hardest) boss of the Eternity Vault:

SWTOR Guide | Annihilation Droid XRR-3 | Eternity Vault Operation Boss #1 | 8man HM & Normal

Cheers,

Dan

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Jedi Battlelord's Gear

« on: December 27, 2011, 03:52:13 PM »

Hey folks,

After having gone through all the gear thats available to Jedi Guardians, I really like the look of the Jedi Battlelord's set. An example of which can be found here:

http://www.torhead.com/item/d0onmHj

Now, I know this is in game, as people on the official forums have mentioned it, and it appears to be a custom set.

So, when your on your travels, can you please keep an eye out for anything call Jedi Battlelord's [Insert Name of Item Here]? Either as an item or as a schematic (probably Synthweaving)?

I'll gladly pay you for any pieces you may come across.

Ta.

Star Wars: The Old Republic / F5, Standing By!

« on: December 12, 2011, 10:58:00 AM »

So, we get confirmation of what server we're on today, don't we?

Jon, as they may just email you, F5 all the things!

Then post here.

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Self Preservation Society (SPV)

« on: December 11, 2011, 11:24:39 AM »

While at GAMEfest earlier in the year, I queued with a local guy who was planning on playing SWTOR at launch, but probably as Sith. However, quite by chance, I bumped into him again last night via Twitter, after he tweeted something to Stephen Reid.

Long story short, they're now going Republic and happy to become allies. They hanging fire on which server to roll on, so I've told MadJax (the guy/GM I met) that I'll let them know which server we end up on to give them the chance to join us. They don't have any Allies or Adversaries set up, so they're flexible with which server to roll on.

Their guild forums are here:

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Cyan

« on: December 02, 2011, 10:01:44 AM »

I know this seems minor, but I've been waiting for confirmation on what a Cyan colour crystal looks like in a Lightsaber.

http://i.imgur.com/h2tMk.png

I'm really chuffed about this. During SWG, I had a colour crystal called Sunrider's Destiny, and it was by far my favourite Lightsaber colour. Kurtt can now have the same in SWTOR!

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Uh-oh, More Mod Removal...

« on: December 02, 2011, 09:20:59 AM »

Just seen this post on the official forums in the Game Test forums:

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=696135

Essentially, they're removing all but Modification and Enhancement slots from end game purples.

What this means is, we'll be forced to use the models of gear from end game to remain competitive, and not the fear we like the look of.

I found a kick ass Lightsaber at lvl 16 from the Coruscant commendations vendor. Before the patch, I'd have been able to keep it all the way to lvl 50 and remained up-to-date. Now I can't. Same with armour.

Can we all pile over to the above thread and spam it with what a bad idea this is before the forums go down at 11:00am?

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Crew Skills

« on: November 29, 2011, 12:24:08 PM »

Just thought I'd stick a quick post up to discuss what crew skills we'll be taking at launch.

I'll be rolling with Artifice, Archaeology and Treasure Hunting. So, if you need mods or high end Lightsabers, I'll be your man.

Yyan is going Synthweaving as far as I know.

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Withdrawal...

« on: November 29, 2011, 10:57:21 AM »

Now what am I going to do for the next 3 weeks?!

Got Kurtt to 19 in the end. It. Was. Epic.

Really really loved it. Space combat was ace. Quite surprised actually.

Crafting was quite deep, and it was ace how you could do it while levelling or running Flashpoints.

Ended up caving and doing Hammer Station last night, which was epic. Respeced to tank to give it a go, and Jedi Guardian really started to shine for me. I'd been DPS up until that point, and while I enjoyed the class, I wasn't seeing the synergy of it. That changed when I went tank, so I think I'll be levelling in tank spec.

PVP was ace. Huttball was amazingly good fun. Did Alderaan too, which it like AB, only miles better. Didn't get Voidstar.

Really, really looking forward to launch now. So much so, that I'm off to GAME at lunch time to preorder the Collector's Edition.

World of Warcraft Retail / What the Hell Did They Do to WoW?!

« on: November 24, 2011, 07:23:56 AM »

So I just checked MMO champ to find this:

http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/game/mists-of-pandaria/feature/talent-calculator

Now, I don't plan on playing wow again with SWTOR nearly here, but I still can't believe what they've done to the talents. Dumbed down much?

Star Wars: The Old Republic / Impressions From Weekend Beta

« on: November 14, 2011, 01:08:06 PM »

Just read an interesting thread on reddit/r/SWTOR:

http://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/mbel4/so_as_the_beta_weekend_is_coming_to_a_close_lets/

Not a great deal in there as far as spoilers go, but some very positive impressions of the game so far. Worth a read.
