  1. Hi Guys Any clues as to why I am not receiving the reward for completing the Makeb Weekly - all the stages complete and the reward is showing fine, at the Orbital station (Droid) but the Droid wont pay up, just telling me, Jace and I are his heroes. Tried all sorts but nothing has worked ANy help would be much appreciated Thanks
  2. I have a couple toons at 54 Learnt the pvp ropes on the way through - addicted to it Have had to much fun to worry about prepping for a strategy at 55, just blew WZ comms on medpax, adrenals and planetary comms for the pve side of things, at least I have a garage load of medpax and adrenals Anyway, Im thinking about the most efficent way to becoming a heavy hitter in pvp sooner rather than later, I expect to be swept up for a week or 2, price you pay I guess Do I take notice of this bolster business ? or just do the time, save the WZ and RWZ comms and go from Set to Set ? Dont quite understand something about Bolster .... Is there a law of diminishing returns ? Great from day 1 but slowly eats away at expertise as you gain pvp gear ? Any tips for a not so prepared 54, keen as on 55 WZs - info would be much appreciated Cheers
  3. I run with a DPS VG as well as a Commando Gunner, the VG is all good as a DPS, just know how to play him post Nerf
  4. Hi all - any one know of a deep sounding Blaster Rifle ? I found a You tube channel with 9 rifle sounds, none fit the bill. I do like the sound of the Wraith Annihilator for my Commando, would not mind a chunky sounding rifle for my Vanguard, it may not exist, but thought I would ask - cheers
  5. Your onto it mate found ... and done thanks heaps - appreciate it
  6. Hi Guys - As above Does anyone know how I can use tildes - that thing >>> ( ~ ) in a name on a standard Microsoft English Keyboard I tried ALT and a specific number as listed in the spanish on english keyboards website but no go Being wondering it for a while, but now I would like to use - Cheers
  7. Hi all Hoping someone can give me some direction - level 40 Sentinel, building up the Watchman tree but Im more interested in PVP so not sure if this is the ideal tree to be in for the minute, may well change post 55 Im really thinking about the augments, mods, enhancements and armoring I understand that Strength is my primary attribute, and Power not far behind it how much in the way of surge / crit / accuracy ? And is their any advantage in using a certain secondary attribute only in Earpieces and implants ? or is that a chinese whipser gone wrong ? At the moment I have not really looked at the stats, just strength and power all the way but I imagine I will start thinking about it more in a week or 2 and start arranging and changing Cheers

  11. Joenewbie - Thanks mate You have provided some useful insight, and it will be used Just to cover your queries Joe 2 game machine and that's it really - SWTOR and F1 I will investigate the possibly of PC1 with Graphics card from PC2 - thanks for that Have never built a machine from woe to go, changed RAM is where my experience ends - but will help and assist from woe to go so to increase my knowledge Will investigate the case of your choice Not fussed about overclocking so unlikely I can buy either machines - moneys saved and ready - but my goal was SWTOR on medium settings but stable, if I have a chance of high settings, even better Cheers Joe - nice job
  12. Hi Team After months of frustrating blue screens (kernel power issue) on my gaming laptop hooked up to a 32 inch HD Samsung TV - I am buying a mid range PC Tower for SWTOR - which will also be hooked up to the Samsung as the monitor - my 40 inch Full HD is also an option. I am down to 2 choices - I am in a small town in NZ so have less choice than many abroad (I trust my local guy - known him since childhood and I want to support the wee guy) hence I have gone with him rather than online to 1 of our major city outlets) - but he doesn't have much MMO experience, and no SWTOR experience - but I think I have him tempted now . With a mortgage and triplet boys who eat like adults , buying a high end machine isn't an option for me. Worth pointing out that I know enough about computers to be dangerous, intermediate level at best hence I am down to these 2 for many reasons - but not quite sure. My hope is I can run SWTOR on at least medium settings, maybe a couple settings on high, consistent FPS rate (I understand this is also out of my hands somewhat but its improved a lot since 2 patches ago so I'm not to worried about it), stable, no blue screens. I understand there are no guarantees, I just want to increase my odds. I am purchasing 1 of these 2 PCs in 5 days so I seek the guidance of the Community and would love to hear your opinions if you have a second. I also understand that a couple of the brands in these systems are not top of the pops, I can live with that for now. The first machine is the cheapest, by about $290.00 US DOLLARS but the focus is stability and a machine that will run SWTOR nicely - the Machine is all about SWTOR, not much else will be on it, (oh ok, I might put the latest Formula One on it) my laptop is great and I have plenty of external hard drives for movies etc, both fit budget but if their much the same, of course the extra bucks would be great. Worth keeping in mind I would like to change out/add Memory (Ram) and a high end Graphics card in 2 to 3 years time if I can SWTOR COMPUTER ONE Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 Socket 1150,Intel Z87 Chipset, ATX Form, 4 X DDR3 DIMM,VGA/DVI/HDMI,6 X SATA3, USB3, Support AMD CrossFireX Intel Latest processor Haswell Core i5-4570 3.2GHz 6MB LGA1150 (B85, H87,Z87 Motherboard Required) G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) High Performance Desktop Memory 240-Pin Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL Samsung 120GB 840 Series 2.5" SATA3 SSD Drive Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA3 HDD 64M CACHE 7200RPM NCQ ( 2 years warranty ) LG GH24NS95 24X SATA INTERNAL SATA DVD WRITER Black colour , OEM package Leadtek WinFast GTX660 Ti 2GB DDR5 PCI-E 3.0 video card , Dual DVI+ HDMI + Display ports COOLER MASTER Storm SCOUT 2 BLACK Mid Tower True Gaming Chassis w/ No PSU Dual USB 3.0, Supports up to 9 fans, Top panel LED switch to disable the LEDs COOLER MASTER THUNDER 600W PSU ATX 12V V2.3 Single +12V rail Silent intelligent 12cm Fan 3-Years Warranty Green power Design Microsoft Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit OEM Asus PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless PCI-Express 802.11 b/g/n WIN7 downlink 300Mbps Uplink 300Mbps(20/40MHz) 64/128-bit WEP/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK/WPS EZWPS SWTOR COMPUTER TWO Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 Socket 1150,Intel Z87 Chipset, ATX Form, 4 X DDR3 DIMM,VGA/DVI/HDMI,6 X SATA3, USB3, Support AMD CrossFireX Intel Latest processor Haswell Core i7-4770 3.4GHz 8MB LGA1150 (B85, H87,Z87 Motherboard Required) G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz (PC3 12800) High Performance Desktop Memory 240-Pin Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL Samsung 120GB 840 Series 2.5" SATA3 SSD Drive Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA3 HDD 64M CACHE 7200RPM NCQ ( 2 years warranty ) LG GH24NS95 24X SATA INTERNAL SATA DVD WRITER Black colour , OEM package Asus PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless PCI-Express 802.11 b/g/n WIN7 downlink 300Mbps Uplink 300Mbps(20/40MHz) 64/128-bit WEP/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK/WPS EZWPS COOLER MASTER HAF XM MID TOWER (NO PSU) 200mm Fans USB3.0 3-way SLI & CrossFireX Support 2HDDs Two X-Dock Cable Management Latch on Side Panel Sapphire HD7970 3G OC Version PCI-E 3.0 Dual fan Video card , 1000MHz / 1450MHz , 384bit ,Dual DVI+ 3D HDMI + Display port , Full Retail Package COOLER MASTER G700 Series 700W 80PLUS BRONZE PSU Single +12V rai, High Efficiency 85% ATX 12V V2.31 , Intelligent Fan Speed Control, 3-Year Warranty Microsoft Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit OEM Thanks for reading through - much appreciated - all the best out there, cheers
  13. Gidday all I am in the process of ordering a PC to be built, whereby its all about SWTOR and Formula One to a lesser extent My budgets pretty high - $5000 NZD or approx. $4200US I have only recently began learning about computer hardware so my queries and terminology are in Laymans terms, If my terminology is not quite right, I apologise, still learning I find myself at this point after ordering a Gaming Laptop in November 2011 so to play SWTOR, was fine for 6 to 9 months, last 6 to 9 months, BSODs and needing to turn of graphic settings have crept in. Have being saving for this PC a good 9 months, hoping to mitigate my current issues with a new system, for a bit more context I have warp speed broadband, LAN and WIFI. LAN for SWTOR. I recently transferred from Dalborra to Harbinger Server, hence late 40s Ping to late 140s Ping, some lag in PVP and Fleet (since Harbinger arrival) with current laptop which is hooked up to a Samsung Full HD TV. I have already brought gaming keyboard, mouse and top speaker package After a couple days hard research, I am at this point - My queries are in brackets following the hardware component SYSTEM BOARD ASUS P8Z77 V INTEL Z77 DD3 SLI AND CROSSFIRE WIFI PCI E3.0 (I'm guessing this is fine for me) CPU INTEL IVY BRIDGE CORE I7 3770K 3.50 GHZ 8MB 77W (Is the 4770k better, I imagine it is, so would change happily) OVERCLOCKING STANDARD (the renowned outfit (in my country) I'm dealing with offer standard and extreme, unsure if extreme is a big risk or not) CPU COOLER XSPC RAYSTORM 750 RS 240 WATER COOLING KIT (sounds awesome) SOUND HIGH QUALITY AND APPROPRIATE TO MY SPEAKER PACKAGE MEMORY KINGSTON HYPERXBEAST 16GB DDR3 - 1600 CL9 (x 2 makes sense to me, totalling 32GB) HARD DRIVE SANDISK EXTREME 240GB 2.5 SATA3 SSD SDSSDX - 2 OF THEM (is 1 SSD for games alone possible ?, and the other for OS and Misc ? - movies, photos and videos are on my external Hard drives so my computer is going to be 95% Gaming) GRAPHICS EVGA NVIDIA GE FORCE GTX 770 SUPERCLOCKED 2GB G (2 queries here, is the 770 better than the 670 and others around 670 time period ? and is it worth buying 2 of these 770s ? Will SWTOR use both or probably only use 1 and not so much the other ? I have heard of Graphics cards which are 2 built into 1 ? not sure about this) POWER SUPPLY SEASONIC PLATINUM SERIES V2 860W 80 PLUS PLATINUM (PSU is my BSOD issue currently, want to go overboard on power supply) MONITOR FULL HD LED MONITOR 27 INCH (Would a 29 Super wide screen designed for movies and well over FULL HD stats be worthwhile ?, its double the price but am considering it for the extra 2 inches and crazy pixel rate) OS WINDOWS 7 or 8 (cant decide, best for SWTOR I guess) Thank you very much in advance, I know its a long winded post and asking a lot, hoping for a couple common sense replies to either confirm or change my mind Cheers
  14. Hi As above, Kiwi Oz Guild, Pub, required Not one to talk all day in chat but I am tactically minded and I'm in to win and succeed, looking forward to OPS Played TOR when it first came out, Boxing day 2011, played a few months then canned it, back into it 2 Republic characters at 20, never played endgame when first played Recently kicked the Mrs out so all the time in the world to go hard on Tor Casual to begin with ideal, 1 character PVP / PVE, the other all PVE Looking for a guild that has at least 20 active players + Cheers
  15. I was in this game for the long haul Having experienced a week of unplayable lag post transfer, Dalborra to Harbinger, its just unplayable over half the time PvP forget it Fleet forget it Even Ops a struggle at times PvE basic at best I reckon Bio-ware got it wrong when they decided to move the 3 APAC servers to 3 North American Servers, they did not want people on RP or PVP etc servers having to change styles. I would have much preferred to change styles and have no severe lag, unplayable lag makes any option impossible, RP or PVE or PVP done
  16. As a Newbie, I'm trying the DPS version of Vanguard Is it more a melee DPS or good for range as well ? I thought it would be good for both What tree would I climb up on the skill tree ? Any hints on this type of role class would be appreciated cheers
  17. 16 v 16 would be good Huttball would be solid mayhem !
  18. Hi Couple queries Both PvE and PvP Is the set bonus based on the armour shell or the mods inside ? Can you have 2 of each and have 2 set bonuses of 2 ? rather than 1 full set bonus of 4 ? Is there any diffrence between PvE and PvP set bonuses or works the same ? Thanks - appreciate it
  19. Id get rid of it, give the 5 comms to everyone who completes the WZ
  20. horses for courses I guess 12 Thumb buttons on the side is great Using less keys on the keyboard suits me 1 to 12 alt and above shift and above ctrl and above thats 48 buttons via your mouse and I only need touch the directional arrows, alt, shift, ctrl hardly use the keyboard and its only the very right hand side of the keyboard lifted my game imensely in PVP, once the memory muscle kicked in, very fluent and pure pace
  21. some good posts I have the Logitech G700 and inherited a Naga I picked up a G600 which I couldnt go past due to a sale price yesterday I think its horses for courses but I really like the G600, the only 1 of the 3 that is wired G700 is great but I really wanted more buttons for the thumb Logitech is the cheaper of the 3 which is a bonus, Logitech G600 best bang for buck with 12 thumb buttons
  22. cant wait ..... I need a trusty time machine to head on in now
  23. would you consider an alliance with a small guild of skilled players ? we need to move on to EC and TFB HMs over next month If you need 1 to 4 players regularly, could be an option we are 6 Mains, old mates, NZ
  24. dont do it man .... its not too late can the toons and take up the cause for the Republic ! Must rid this world of Imp(idents)
