Hey, sorry again everyone for me being a bit late on Sunday. As you saw, we couldn't get enough people this time so I'll reschedule it for March and post a new event thread nearer the time.

Will we automatically get the legacy titles if we already completed the achievements?

If you have OneDrive installed then check the Documents directory there.

Bump as we're getting close to the event day: Sunday 26th December 15:10 GMT - Darth Malgus Server: Imperial Fleet (View in your timezone)

Hey everyone, here are the 100 winners:

It would be nice if we could get personal decorations where they are sitting down. No chair required. This way we can position them to sit on current decorations.

Both SWTOR and Stroke my Wookie celebrate our 10th anniversaries this year which is a massive accomplishment for anything in life and to celebrate this, my guild will be fully embracing the year of celebrations by running several special server events starting with this 10 billion credit giveaway on the game's 10 year anniversary. 🎉 Go check out the main Reddit post as that explains how you enter the giveaway:

You could pick one name to show up with in each guild instead of showing all your characters. The roster would have one row per player account instead of one for each character. You would be able to pick the guild name to show on your nameplate with the option of showing as guildless. The devs could put a limit in so you can be in 5 guilds max on each faction. Any CQ points you earn with your characters are shared across the guilds on that faction either 100% in each or split across them. Bonuses and perks would be another discussion but lots of fun possibilities.

Yes, Darth Malgus server. I made the decision a long time ago not to run character/group events on other servers. My focus priority will always be my guild members so as long as they can still join in and have a good time then I can open some of our events to other players on our server. Currently the only multi-server event I want to run is another big giveaway but I'm happy to wait until the next server transfer discount before setting that up. I'll create Darth Malgus forum threads for the Monthly Server Giveaway and Base Invaders series nearer their start times and I will continue adding more celebration events to this post throughout the year

Stroke my Wookie are running our Spoils of War Gear Trading event again and as part of our 10 Year Celebration series we're opening it up as a server event so all are welcome. You do not have to be a guild member to join in. Most of the Spoils of War gear is bind on pickup however some is tradable and gives you achievements and titles (in 7.0). We will help you get these by trading the armor, tacticals and weapons. When & Where?

We'll trade you the items, you get the achievements and trade them back.

Another PvP Massacre series is complete; 9 weeks, 23 locations, 11,980+ kills and thousands of disintegrations! Screenshots Iokath Field Of Death Iokath Party Iokath Loot Trails Iokath Tyth's Rage Iokath Walker Disco I've created a post about our upcoming 50 In Your Stronghold server event on Sunday December 26th. See you there

Stroke my Wookie are hosting our next House Party and you are invited! This is what we call the "50 In Your Stronghold Achievement" farms that we run. We've led the event several times in the past to get loads of people all the stronghold achievements. You do not have to be a guild member to join the event. It's just straight up stronghold hopping so make sure to have your favorite food/drink/vice to hand as there isn't a whole lotta action When? Sunday 26th December 15:10 GMT - Darth Malgus Server: Imperial Fleet (View in your timezone) How to join in It's really easy, just read the key guide below this text and then on the day be ready to join the group when I advertise in Imperial Fleet general chat. We'll invite guild members and friends first and then open up invites to those on fleet. We are only planning to take a maximum of 3 full ops groups, so 72 players. Total event time for that many people should be in the 2-3 hour range. I've done my best to optimise the time and our method is definitely one of the fastest but there are two things that have slowed us down tremendously in the past: people with slow loading times and those that had trouble understanding how to give out the keys we need. This time I will be strict about people delaying the group with slow loading times and I have provided screenshots to show how to give out keys at the bottom of this post Avoid the smugglers fee If you use a Coruscant stronghold then people will have to pay a 1000 credit smugglers fee to enter. Because Agents and Smugglers are super sneaky they only have to pay 250. We can't force people to pay the fee, it is their choice so you may find that you don't get 50 people willing to visit your stronghold. If you can, please use another stronghold. Make sure you have room for us! You must have enough of your stronghold unlocked to accommodate 50 people. Unlocking additional rooms let's you take more people in, read all about it here in Dulfys Stronghold guide. Don't use the Umbara Train or Manaan strongholds as they only let you have 30 & 35 players. Fully unlocked Yavin 4 or Rishi are the best to use. People Needed/Achievements 01 - Just Hanging Out 05 - Not Quite A party 10 - Send Regrets Only 25 - The Noisy Neighbor 50 - Bringing Down The House 95 achievement points in total House Party Rules You must join us on the SMW teamspeak server before the event start time We'll give a special temp password out in the ops groups that will bring you to the correct channel We won't be typing all night as it wastes a lot of time [*] You will be replaced if you take too long to load into each stronghold Unlike in the past, I will be strict on this as it can double/triple the overall time for the entire group I will start a stopwatch each time we switch stronghold People that are continually taking over 1m to change strongholds will be removed If you have a slow connection or PC you should still join in as you may find it is ok for stronghold loading Try it and see [*] If you DC but return before we get a replacement you can join the group again [*] If you DC and rejoin shortly after we get a replacement you can join the back of the visit q if there is still room [*] If you use your Coruscant strongholds then you run the risk that you won't get enough people willing to pay the smugglers fee to enter [*] Imperial characters only [*] Please don't just get your achievements and leave the group/fake a DC as it spoils it for those that are still waiting, "How rude!" How to give out stronghold keys Step 1: Open Stronghold Panel (Press U) and press "KEYS" on the stronghold you want to use http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.mmoguildsites.com/s3/gallery_images/826704/original.jpg Step 2: Change the "Share Keys" dropdown to "Silver Key" http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.mmoguildsites.com/s3/gallery_images/826705/original.jpg http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.mmoguildsites.com/s3/gallery_images/826706/original.jpg Step 3: Send silver keys to our group leaders when it's your turn on the night http://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.mmoguildsites.com/s3/gallery_images/826707/original.jpg

The perk rotation is every 2 weeks. If you want to get the best/optimal use out of the system then you rotate the perks at that point. Some weeks we keep one or more of the 4 week perks, other times we have to replace them for a different perk due to the rotation. We've been using combinations of low and high value perks for a long time since around level 200. The top tier perks are almost half the price of the lower tiers. That's part of the reason they are desirable. For example Sprinter III costs 33 Guild Commendations vs Sprinter II which costs 52. The trade off is that III lasts for 2 weeks and II lasts for 4. Since about level 300 I've been looking ahead 2 cycles so I can plan things out with a longer term view to try and save some commendations. You are entitled to your opinion. My opinion is that making it increasingly difficult to purchase perks to the degree it has reached is not "working as intended". It becomes a punishment for active guilds.

Thanks Jackie, your post gives me hope. I will delay scuttling our two Imp guilds in favor of lower level ones for a bit longer. I will explain the situation to my guild members so they understand why they won't have the usual perks and alacrity set bonus for the holidays and see how it goes. I'll include your reply so they know something will be done to help soon. My immediate concern is to make sure they have a great time when patch 7.0 arrives so I'll further ration the perks I pick until then so I can pick nice ones for the launch. Thanks again, have a good thanksgiving if you do that

Here are the guild commendation values from the current cycle to better demonstrate the problem. We have three guilds with different focuses so every 2 weeks when perks are about to rotate I plan a different selection tailored for each guild. Imp #1 - Focuses on CQ Commander II (Renown II) - 55 Conquest II - 35 Flashpoint Pro III - 55 Mount Improvements II - 52 Mount Speed Boost - 30 Operations Pro III - 55 Total: 282 Guild Commendations Imp #2 - Focuses on raiding Mount Improvements II - 52 Mount Speed Boost - 30 Operations Bio II - Had 2 weeks left so didn't replace Operations Pro III - 55 Repairs II - 52 Sprinter I - 50 Total: 239 Guild Commendations Rep - General focus Commander II - 55 Mount Improvements II - 52 Mount Speed Boost - 30 Operations Pro III - 55 Sprinter I - 50 Warzone Valor III - 58 Total: 300 Guild Commendations Each time we reach the conquest guild yield goal we get large:90/medium:80/small:70 guild commendations. So the most a guild can get in 2 weeks from that route is 180 guild commendations. Each time a guild dings a new Guild XP Level it gets 5 guild commendations and every 10 levels we get an extra 10. When a guild first starts leveling it can ding around 8 levels in a single week meaning 90 commendations for a two week perk cycle. When a guild reaches level 200 it can ding 3 levels in a single week which drops the commendations to 30-40 for the two week cycle duration. My guild has reached level 450 which means we can ding only 1 level each week so we get 10-20 per cycle. At level 450 and in a two week perk cycle the most guild commendations we can earn are 150-200. To have a complete set of 6 and activate the 4 perk set bonus requires upwards of 280.

I'm thinking there is some confusion due to the name of "Legacy Ignore". Legacy names are not unique anymore so there can be 200 players with the "Stark" legacy on the same server. When you add a name to the "Legacy Ignore" you are actually doing a "Player Account Ignore". If you add someone with the "Stark" legacy to your ignore list you won't see anymore messages from that one player on any of their characters on that account. You would still see all the messages from the other 199 players with that legacy name.

Please help long term active guilds as we're reaching the limits of the current Guild Commendation system that is used to purchase Guild Perks. If things don't change soon then it means guilds who have advanced several hundred levels will have to create new guilds and move everyone over so they can effectively reset the limits. We should be rewarded for encouraging so many people to play over all these years but instead we're being punished! Guild Perks Info There are two throttles built in to reduce the speed that guilds gain XP levels which made sense in 2018 when the perk system was added but both have reached a point where guilds that successfully reached the weekly Guild XP limit every week are now being restricted from using the perks system, even with careful planning and budgeting. Throttle 1: Weekly Guild XP Cap There is weekly cap of 10m Guild XP. Anything the guild earns above that is not counted. Throttle 2: Required Guild XP For Each Level Keeps Increasing The Guild XP required to reach the next level keeps increasing. Early on you can jump several Guild XP Levels within a week however by the time you reach 450 that drops down to just 1-2 levels a week. Possible Solutions Stop increasing the points required for the next level after a guild reaches level 64. Remove the weekly Guild XP cap. Let guilds buy perks with credits. Reward guilds with a perk price discount multiplier so you get 1/3 off when you reach level 100, 2/3 off at level 200 and you can pick them for free when you reach 300. Reward guilds by adding a Guild Commendation multiplier so you reach levels 100-199 and get x2 the standard commendations, levels 200-299 is x3, level 300 is x4 and so on. Give guilds a weekly/monthly Guild Commendation grant that scales with the guild level. Let us convert Reinforcement Modules into Guild Commendations. Guilds have thousands of Reinforcement Modules but not enough commendations to buy perks that use them!

There are a couple of problems with loot that drops from special world bosses and nightmare operation bosses since Round Robin and Master Looter were removed. Open World Bosses Ancient Threat drops 4 decorations and Dreadtooth up to 3 masks. Since master looter and round robin were removed the system has been giving all of them to one person in the group. This happens every time: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/534065049396969484/911932676888469544/unknown.png Nightmare Operation Bosses Each nightmare raid boss drops several OEMs but now it goes straight into one group member's material stash. There is no text in chat to indicate who got them all.

Last week we blasted our way through another 2000 kills across 3 locations Screenshots Makeb Bonfire Makeb Greeting Party Makeb Red Death Section X Rampage Voss Chaos Portal Voss Firestorm We have reached the grand finale: IOKATH!

We will summon you to location. We'll give out the optional Discord voice comms details on the day. We will also do invites on Iokath in case you want to wait near the droid terminals but keep in mind that if there are enough of us to open a 2nd PvP instance then we may spread the groups out.

Thank you for clarification

Hi, does this also grant the achievements and special loot to people outside the group? Are you including Battlemasters and named Commanders? My guild kills Dreadtooth 10 stacks and Ancient Threat on a monthly basis. With the new system will someone random be able to come along throw one hit at the boss and possibly walk off with the special boss achievements and loot? They are both counted as openworld bosses. P.S. while you're changing openworld loot rules, please change the player loot on Iokath so it can be area looted. Currently you have to loot one player body at a time which is killing the server events there. This video shows the problem. It's from when we ran the Iokath PvP server event on Iokath shortly after it was first added. You can see how smooth things are for the first 1.5 minutes and then as people die and the loot trails appear it grinds to a halt: We've run the Iokath PvP event several times so we've tried a few things to counter the problem. Our large scale server events do cause performance problems for people on the other planets but Iokath is noticeably worse. So much so that we leave it until the end of our event series now so it doesn't put people off from joining later ones! It doesn't matter if we keep 6 ops groups on one instance or send Imp+Rep ops group pairs to other instances. As soon as there are 50+ corpse loot trails the game grinds to to a super slow slideshow. Often we see people crashing out of the game.

Hey, please make companions copy our dance emotes. We have loads of fun looping emotes but it's a bit creepy when you have this person stood 2 feet away staring at you all the time. I know we can dismiss the companions but it would be more fun if they copied what we do.
