Hello all! Checking back into the game after a 1.5 year absence. Is 16m essentially dead now? It was on life support going into 2.0. Was just curious on the state of the game when it comes to raiding. Thanks in advance!

5th page? BOING!

16m HM Dash'roode 8:59pm EDT - Screen capture forthcoming, need to pull it from the video since everyone forgot to take it like dummies 16m HM Titan - 9:35pm EDT - http://i.imgur.com/25ecpOh.jpg 16m HM Thrasher - 10:29pm EDT - http://i.imgur.com/I8Lpr6f.jpg 16m HM Operations Chief - 11:15pm EDT - http://i.imgur.com/CByLIQE.jpg

Yup. Also page 5!? BUMP!

To clarify, I'm fine with the double xp weekend and the xp boosts. I just hate this Ilum bolster crap, and I hope they squash it before next weekend.

I'm fine with it, but I really hope they squash this dumb Ilum bolstering thing.

The problem isn't really the double xp weekend, it's the stupid wonky bolster mechanic for the Gree event which basically allows people to AFK level from 14-50 in a raid group in like 10-20 hours. It cheapens the whole experience for everyone that put the time in to level multiple 50's before. As someone who had 8 50's before the cartel market hit, this feels like a cheap money grab to make sure a large amount of people buy this expansion.

Shameless bump!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but it's hardly worth fighting over who did this "first". We have multiple full pugs doing this daily on 16m HM on our server.

Hello friends. Just bumping this since I was on page 4 . Thanks!

In all fairness, I think I can give the OP a run for his money? I OFFICIALLY announce MY candidacy for President of the Memories of Xendor Server... err I mean Prophecy of the Five server!

I agree to some extent. If you only play one or two characters, the rep grind isn't all that useful. But I disagree in the fact that all the rewards are useless for your legacy. For someone that plays a lot of alts (right now I have 8 50's) legacy bound adaptive gear without class restrictions is the most valuable commodity I could have asked for. Up until this point, the only other two suits like this that I'm aware of were part of the Rakghoul event (containment suit) and the Acquisitions Race (tusken raider suit). With suits of this nature, you can gear out your sniper or op to full 63's and then mail that gear over to your scoundrel or gunslinger and use it on the spot without pulling anything. These gear sets significantly change the way you play your alts in PVE and PVP.

I find the whole idea of weekly caps/daily caps in newer MMOs to be a little tired. It's a completely artificial way to draw out content that could be blown through easily. If you have to artificially draw out your content with caps, then the content isn't designed all that well. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the new reps, it's just silly that on day 2 I've almost capped all 4. I would like to see content that takes a legitimately longer time to complete without any caps.

MoX did this last night on 16m HM as well (1 shot). Somewhere around 8:30pm EST (didn't take a screen cap cause well... lol).

World boss is a world boss. Also I think you missed the point which was we had a 24 man raid, a raid of PVPers encircling us to prevent outside PVP (and consequently throw down puddles and off heals whilst not pvping, you can't DPS the boss for more than a second before you get wiped to the anti-swarm mechanic), and a raid of people locking down their base . Yes we are quite large. No I cannot spare any members .

Yeah, the republic guy that attacked was our own guildie trolling us. We had a pretty substantial group locking down the repub spawn but it was pretty irrelevant since it was a 1 shot.

Also perks of having 65 active raiders Side note: Pre nerf when this first came out on 5 stacks we built a huge formation where 24 people were in the raid, all either tanks, dps, or tank healers. Then we had 8+ sorcs split to heal the support groups and still couldn't down it. Got it to under 20% a few times. I WISH I had videos of that .

MoX's video for Dreadtooth 10 stack and Dreadful entity. Notice our superb PVP defense force! Benefits of being in a guild with 65+ active raiders.

We all know 2nd kill is the number one loser kill , but anyway we will be posting kill videos as well, probably tomm. http://i.imgur.com/4SxPI1P.jpg

If anyone wants to collab on what the hell to do with this thing, we will be trying stuff and posting here, or just get in touch with us via the forums.

MoX downed 10 stack as well (on an open PvP server no less!) and now has the orb and will be experimenting with it. TY Carnage for paving the way and motivating us out of our apathy .

OP I actually agree with you, but ultimately we just need to hold out hope that the next raid zone and tier of gear will change this as BW has hinted.

Well done guys! We'll be working on this again now that we know there seems to be an actual reward .

Still have needs for solid Marauders and healers as per above.
