  1. Is there any word on account to account transfers yet?
  2. I was Popsikles during the BC roll, off and on during that phase tbh. I left shortly after BC content was cleared for personal reasons.
  3. I have been trying to raid with my current guild, nothing against them, but it seems that it's not working out. A little background of my gaming history first. I started playing WoW about 7 years ago, maybe 6. I was Main Tank and raid leader of my first guild for 3 years. I was also an officer of that said guild so I know what all that entails. Progression-wise we managed to clear all content in Vanilla WoW ( before BC,WotLK) When BC came out I then joined Death and Taxes and was on their main progression team and cleared all content within a week of release. I was a healer then for DnT and also an officer. I only talk about my WoW experience for the simple fact that it includes the background of me knowing how to pick up raid mechanics, lead the raids or follow just as well, and know what is needed of me from a Guild Leadership stand point. As far as SWTOR. I started playing at launch and have continued to do so since. As for raiding guilds I have not been as lucky. Currently I have stayed with my current guild because I do wish to see them progress. As for personal progression though I have lead raids for all Operations and Modes. I have completed all NiM Title runs ( EC, KP, EV ). I have cleared SM Scum and Villainy, HM TFB and so on. Progression on harder content seems to be a small issue with my current guild, which is fine, but I myself am paying for this game and I would rather be playing with a guild who progresses and raids more than 1-2 days a week. Currently my main is a 55 Sentinel with 2890 Strength and 32k HP. I have been parsing my recent Operations fights at about 2850 DPS constantly on Operation Bosses. Again, I am looking for a raiding guild who raids on a decent enough basis say 3-5 times a week and I would definitely be a great addition to your team. Aside from SWTOR, I am 28 years old and am a sound engineer for Omega Studios in Baltimore Maryland. I usually play SWTOR everyday from 5pm-roughly 3am EST time. It would not be a problem for me to run raids any day of the week. For the time being, if I get any responses, if you are interested in recruiting, please leave some information about your guild and how I may contact you and if you have any questions for me please feel free to ask.

  4. You have a life? I'm jelly. I got my gear? You're obviously jelly. It saddens me that casual gamers have gotten their way so many times in the past, dragging an mmo down to levels they can handle. Why shouldn't they cater to the crowd that spends far more time actually playing and embracing the systems they have in place? I for one don't want to see another easy mode MMO where the best of everything comes with little effort. What's left? Milking the game for every last bit of entertainment you can, rerolling till you get tired of doing so and moving on to a game that has YET to be dismantled by casuals. I find it amazing you folks whine so much about the amount of time you have to spend to get anywhere while you waste time on the forums...
  5. I am saying this system is viable. I wasn't pointing out the lack of PvP gear in other MMO's so much as the overall grind factor. Its 3 weeks after launch and you're all ready nearing 60 valor ranking with an incoming patch that will eliminate the battlemaster RNG. Another thread begging for everything to be served up on a silver platter. Other games did it better because everything was fair, it wasn't based on RNG. EVERYTHING stems from RNG buddy. Its not FAIR that crits are on an RNG system, that guy has a lower crit chance than I do but he gets ALL the crits. Boo. Hoo. This leads to said person contributing more to his ops group and possibly tilting the scales in their favor. Oh no, its the chaos theory of MMO's... Anyhow... Yeah, bout that. Some of us prefer a break in the monotony that has become MMO gaming with the WoW clone wave. I'd likely unsub for a move in that direction than due to never obtaining another piece of champ equipment. I got lucky? I took notice of the fact that your valor rank cap rises with your current level, and made the overly safe assumption that it would merit reward (it didn't, yall got to 50 faster and got access to the same "dice rolls"). Yeah, I'm closer to 60 valor than other 50's, in fact mine is the second highest on the server at this time. However, there are other 50's who hit around the same time I did or afterward who have more champ gear than myself. Not quite as frustrating as being passed up after a 2 week grind, but its there. Blessed, right, I do feel blessed with a brighter outlook I suppose. As I mentioned, I have 6 slots of champ gear, 2 of which are relics (no stats for a slight rating boost). I knew what was waiting for me with the champ bags, and was/am fully prepared to get my dupes and fill in the blanks with centurion gear. I'll be holding on to my cent coms till I have enough to cover all non-champ slots as to not waste any. I enjoy opening the bags, its exciting even if it is disappointing more often than not. As I recall, the thread starter (main QQ) I don't recall the name at this point, had nearly as much if not as much champ gear as I do (with loads of duplicates). Why does this "grind" seem like child's play to me yet is so unbearable to him? Answer; spoiled. My ending statement; This system is effort based, just too much effort for you.
  6. Late response, didn't bother reading all the replies. Anyhow, the answer: NPC's won't be butt hurt if you roflstomp them wearing PvP gear, players will be butt hurt if you roflstomp them wearing PvE gear. Gg
  7. My server is somewhat primitive, the masses are just now hitting 50. With that, I have been 50 for 3 full days, and have opened 19-20 bags (I play a lot ). I've got about 73 cent commendations, 2 off hands, 2 relics, a chest, a belt, and a bracer. I can understand people's frustrations. I have been somewhat lucky, and yet I still get a little miffed when I only see commendations. That makes it exciting though. Before I delve into this let me provide a little back story. Most of my leveling was done through warzones. I never once capped my valor rank, but was rank 47 when I hit 50. I am now rank 54. Now, I find it somewhat silly that there is no rank requirement (and only a level requirement of 50) on the centurion/champion gear bags. I think you sniveling brats should be thankful you can touch my gear without the appropriate rank. At least that way you would BE 50+ valor rank, and with 60 valor rank just around the corner you'd be far less likely to cry on the forums, as you would be netting battlemaster gear+champ commendations soon. I've played MMO's with grinds you'd soil yourself just thinking about. .01% exp every 10-12 kills grinding in a full group (exp bonuses in full parties) on the toughest mobs while wearing gear that became useless 20 levels prior being that they STILL had yet release new armor sets months into the game. Mind you this was 10+ levels away from cap. These games (yes this applies to more than one) had ZERO PvP rewards other than a player kill counter... woohoo. Your only source of gearing for PvP was PvE. Be thankful you have the option to farm PvP for advancement at all, RNG or not. That being said, get back to the "grind". Sincerely, Zwei (Gardens of Talla PvP East Imperial) Content to be a D-bag P.S. Don't leave the basement, it's rough out there.
  8. I rolled Empire on Gardens of Talla (East PvP). For the first couple weeks Empire dominated the warzones. I leveled more off warzones than questing (basically class quest+PvP for the majority). With or without premades we lost once or twice every 2-3 days. Now that Reps are hitting 50 its become more of a challenge. I can't expect to win without a premade, and even with premades we win about 70-30. The 50 bracket will have a large impact on this on most any server, and more primitive servers should balance out as the population rises/catches up.
  9. I love my sorc, no one on my server can match my damage just yet. Very versatile, if I do get caught standing still I usually melt faces before taking too much damage, or just **** safely. I definitely wouldn't say they need any buffs/improvements, nor would I say they need a nerf.
  10. My server has gotten off to a slow start as I picked a low pop PvP. I'm 50 and only have 6 pieces of champ gear, 2 of which are the power/crit relics. I'm 18 lightning/23 madness and I've hit as high as 2.8 with both CL and DF, but I have been saving my consumables. I never considered hitting that high as a possibility, though I have dealt 412k dmg in one wz (doubt that's much of an accomplishment on other more advanced servers). Thanks for the glimmer of hope, I think I'll go try and break 500k lol.
  11. Bubbles aside, it seems your two main complaints are the large amount of sorcs and being focused down by classes that have slows/disables. Firstly, its star wars dude. Sorcs shoot lightning, that's why I picked mine. There are and forever will be loads of em, though my server seems somewhat balanced. Secondly, start running premades and learn to PvP in a group. Till then your sniveling does about as much good as sitting in the corner sucking your thumb.
