  18. Thirteenth Legion Monthly Status Report - February 2015 Message from the Commander A short but exciting month in the Thirteenth Legion. Once again we hurled ourselves from high places, sometimes intentionally, as you will see in our guild meeting. We also had a lot of RP events happening so please check those out if you are interested, everyone is welcome to attend! A big thanks to our RP officers who are doing a fantastic job of building our guild RP. Be sure to check out the guild ship if you haven't taken a tour, it is pretty magnificently decorated thanks to some very hard working officers . In conquests we have captured yet another planet (or a section of one anyway), bringing our guild total to 12. We also moved to 2nd place in all time points on the server. It doesn't mean a lot and we will probably be passed up by Corruption relatively soon but it is still pretty neat. A big tribute to the quality of the guild and the things we can accomplish together. Pia Fidelis, AmonRe Operations Friday Night Ops Our Ops groups on Friday Nights are still going strong. We are able to field 3 full 8 man groups most weeks (or sometimes a 16 and an 8). But we are always looking for new regular members for our Ops groups. Please see this thread for more information if you are interested. 2/6 - Groups 1&2. It took us over a dozen tries (maybe more than 20) and probably 2 hours but we got those blasted walkers down. You really need to have them both really close and take them both down at the same time. Also skip bombing one shield restore on walker 1 so that you can dps down walker 2 enough. It also helps to guard the Guardians and for healer to heal the tank that is swapping from unit 1 to unit 2 because for a short time that tank has aggro on both units. http://i.imgur.com/G6V6VYE.jpg 2/6 - Groups 3-6 Did DP SM, we had a group of 13 and were able to complete the weekly and then took a vote to continue to The Council and we took them down. 2/13 - Groups 3-6 plus a few willing volunteers took on 16 man HM EC. The only deaths came from two accidental early starts to the minefield when folks twice walked through the barrier and started the fight before I had finished the explanation. Two of the awesome Praxon speeders, a tank decoration and several baradium mine carts dropped. 2/13 - Groups 1&2. We once again attempted to tackle Temple of Sacrifice Story Mode. We got past the walkers much easier this time. The one thing we did differently is that we left the tanks on their respective walkers rather than having them physically move to swap. When Unit 2 drops aggro, the tank on Unit 2 taunts unit 1 and then goes back to attacking unit 2. When unit 2 goes back to his tank then the tank on unit 1 taunts unit 1 back. This way the tanks aren't spreading things like Rapid Fire all over the place. We took a number of attempts on the Underlurker but he proved too much for us. You just need a ton of DPS. It is probably worth it to try to have a tank swap to DPS for that fight and towards the end I tried that but I didn't have the best DPS gear. 2/20 - We were short a lot of folks, but we managed to get together enough for a 16 man run through Dread Palace story mode. We cruised through with very little difficulty. I think we had one wipe on Calphayus because I divided the groups up wrong. 2/27 - Once again we were down quite a few people and only had a total of 16. Not wanting anything too difficult we took on SM TFB, a few hadn't actually done the OP before so it was a first time for them. We had no issues with the OP, took our loot and comms and called it a OP well done. Rough Raiders Ops Group 2/2 - Rough Raiders were short handed again, so after taking down Dweadtoof with 5 stacks with some help from Auradena, we cleaned up missing achievements with a run of 16-man story mode EV with the addition of Mollari. It was quite fun to obliterate the operation. 2/9 - Rough Raiders tackled Ravagers and make excellent progress until a bout of insane lag made the fight with the giant parrot impossible. The entire group had such severe lag that we couldn't get any abilities off (connection and fps were fine, the server was just behaving very strangely). 2/24 - Rough Raiders were down a pair of raiders so we rustled up some neglected alts and steamrolled through HM KP for achievements. SIS Report on Vindicta Activities Our spies have intercepted communications about a number of Vindicta activities that happened during the month of February that we should keep an eye on. Many Bothans died to bring us this information. 2/5 - Imperial Ops groups 1&3 did a quick run of TFB. It gave folks a chance to settle into new roles and new characters, and several of these characters had not completed the one time quest yet. 2/12 - Imperial Ops - Groups 2&3 had a very smooth (and quite profitable) run through TFB. 2/19 - Imperial Ops - Groups 1&2 shook down Brontes in her lair, ransacking the Dread Fortress with little difficulty before the big bad herself. Once we settled down to business, though, even a disconnected DPS couldn't stop us in the end! Guild Meeting We had 25 people come out for our monthly guild meeting which this month was guild darts! Guild darts is where we gather some place high and then jump to our deaths trying to get as close to an officer as possible. Everyone gets to choose a prize from the prize pool starting with the person that ended up closest to the pin. This time guild darts was on the highest bridge I could find on Hoth. It was so high that a couple people glitched out and couldn't die by falling! We also had several onlookers that were mystified at what we were doing. http://i.imgur.com/J0JOQcc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qDsuCf9.jpg RP Nights 2/3 - Master Emlyn Trowbrydge relayed some specifics regarding the crates he captured before the Vindicta transports could make off with them from Hoth. The trail led to a Mandalorian clan on Balmorra. We infiltrated their camp in small teams consisting of a maximum of four legionnaires and uncovered what data we could from the compounds. ((We used Heroic 4 Mandalorian Terror as our compound)) 2/8 - A small group of Legionnaires met at Auradena’s stronghold to discuss new intelligence regarding Jacop Loth’s criminal empire. It was decided that they would try to build a bigger team to take out 5 of Loth’s top officers. 2/9 - Daytime RP: The mission to Alderaan to speak to a slicer turned out to be confusing to say the least. There was mention of a game, more than once but the players seemed to be inept and confused. There is another surviving member of Okara though. An old woman who has been living comfortably in retirement on a luxurious farm on Alderaan though it is unclear how, or if it is possible to contact her. Yvan Okara has been busy salvaging what can be salvaged of house Baliss after it’s collapse, then subsequent attack via Killik. 2/10 - The artifacts and relics found on the Vindicta transports had been traced back to an installation on Belsavis. The legion broke down into small teams of between two and four and investigated these sites at this installation. ((We assembled groups consisting of no more then 4 people and RP'd our way through storymode Eternity Vault.)) 2/15- A team of the Thirteenth went to Hoth to free Ordolan’s before Loth’s forces could bring them into slavery. The Ordolan’s ran joyously out of their cages once they were freed. 2/16 - The investigation into the Okara family lead to a party being held by the nobles of Alderaan. The event however, did not go as planned. *news feed* "This is Dara Samath broadcasting live at the recovery party of the season! Nobles both high and low have all gathered at House Organa to celebrate elder day. Donations have already poured in and remember folks, your best dressed favorites will be up for bid starting on the hour!" "As you can see behind me..." *the news feed was interrupted by screams and people pushed into the shot as they ran to the door, *we don't ....w happe.... seems... ev...." *Ten seconds into the chaotic feed there was a flash of light, a sharp hissing sound and the feed went blank...* "Dara?" *the desk anchors asked into empty air. "We don't know what we just saw, but we will keep you updated as information comes in." 2/17 - Not all missions are firepower heavy. Kari a mechanic who at times had done contract work for the legion had asked for help on Tatooine. Volunteering her free time at an orphanage she had come to realize the great need for Sentient relief not only in Anchorhead but also in the outskirts at small moisture farms. She asked for Legionnaires if available to come donate their time in delivering much needed relief to pockets of isolated settlers and refugees alike. Legionnaires met with her in Anchorhead outside the cantina for further information. They took on duties such as installing Kolto tanks at the orphanage, dispersing sand people from nearby Moisture farms, delivering key supplies of food, medicine, and integral parts for repairs to key outposts in surrounding areas. 2/20 - A Vindicta Recon team lead by Iio attacked a supply station being used by the Thirteenth to restock their ship. The team secured a full set of schematics of The Scorpienne, the Thirteenths flagship. The team included Darth Asry and Lord Glasbre and they were sure to leave no witness. At the end of the mission Fjorak turned the supply station into a crater with his explosives. 2/22 - Meeting on Hoth the Thirteenth responded to intel that Vindicta was working with the White Maw by attacking the staging area. While no members of Vindicta were found on site, the team located direct instructions from Vindicta to the White Maw to search for something. 2/23 - Plans were hatched to try to infultrate the game on 3 levels, use the contact with Cesar (with whom it is discovered that he is an SIS agent, assumed undercover), getting into the game as social users, and recovering the stolen Imperial transport that fell pray to the latest "prank" of The Game. 2/24 - Two teams were sent to aid a Balmora science station that was being over-run by a surge of bug activity. Anrhael lead the south gate team of Cailinn and Xuerin and secured the research lab and systems. Saul lead the North team of Rou'ku and Gli'c and cleared their area, though it appeared the guns dropped in were damaged and things got messy. (Setting: Colicoid War Games IC Clear) No injuries were reported and the Legion was sent a personal thank you from the region's commander for answering the call for aid. Roles Training New this month we have been offering weekly seminars on how to tank, dps, and heal. It is mostly geared towards Operations Roles but could apply to flashpoints and even PvP. It is on a fairly basic level and intended to give people a chance to get to know a new role from our more experienced players. We tend to use older Operations for these since they are shorter and we can practice and teach without worrying too much about the mechanics or wiping. 2/1 - Roles Training inaugural run went very smoothly. This was a tank training run and we had 6 folks wanting to know more about tanking with three on their tank characters getting pointers from Cygni and MJS. We had a very smooth run of HM EV and had a lot of fun. 2/15 - Tank training part 2 lead by Cygni and Kjara had a very smooth run of KP HM with two of our new tanks doing the tanking. I think a wrap up by class at some point to discuss gearing and rotation will be the last piece, but that probably shouldn't be an actual op. I'll schedule those alongside healing and DPS ones after the healing training ops. 2/23 - Healer training was up this week, and fter a discussion of some critical healer tactics and things to focus on, 13 hardy souls healed NM EV to death. One death to the floor boss, but otherwise a very smooth run. Achievement Round Up Also new this month, we have added a bi-weekly achievement round up where we aim to unlock some of those pesky achievements together. 2/10 - we had a small group head out to Coruscant and there we grabbed the galactic lore, MCR-99 droid locations, took down the world boss, and even killed one of the named boss guys for good measure. 2/24 - Just two of us this time but we ran through Taris and picked up all the lore and MCR-99 droids, and a named champion as well. Conquest Events: 2/3: Titans of Industry - 4th Place on The Black Hole (2,032,595 points) 2/4 - We had about 14 people join us for our weekly commander and conquest event. We took out a Battlemaster on Corellia and then proceeded to defeat Imperial Base Guards on the planet since they count for The Black Hole. http://i.imgur.com/MLjM530.jpg 2/10: Death Mark - 2nd Place on Tatooine (2,157,822 points) 2/11 - We had about 14 people come to our weekly conquest event. We defeated a Battlemaster on Voss and then proceeded to attack base guards on Tatooine. We found that the Imperial base closest to our Republic bonus series base (I can't remember the names right now) actually doesn't seem to flag you and the champion guards respawn really fast. It is a good location to get that done with out interference. 2/17: Revenge of the Revanites - 1st Place on Section X (3,002,085 points) We had another somewhat tightly contested race this week but we managed to win without expending too many resources. http://i.imgur.com/wj6hxG1.jpg 2/18 - We had around 15 or 16 people come out for our conquest event. First we took out a battlemaster for his encryptions. Then we took a quick trip through the Dread Fortress and picked up a decent chunk of conquest points. 2/24: Relics of the Gree - 2nd Place on Alderaan (2,018,216 points) 2/25 - We got 14 or so Legionnaires together for our weekly do Conquest objectives event. First, we took out a named commander and a battlemaster on Tatooine. Then we headed to Ilum where we took out another battlemaster and then proceeded to defeat the requisite number of Imperial base guards. We did draw some Imperial players that tried to hinder us but we managed to work around them. Finally, we took on Xenoanalyst for some helices and conquest points.
  19. Thirteenth Legion Monthly Status Report - January 2015 Message from the Commander Another great month in the Thirteenth Legion, we added a good number of new members (10) and have well over 100 members in the guild. We cap our membership at 125 members so anyone that is interested in joining should apply as soon as they can to get a spot. If we hit our limit and there are still people wanting to join they will be made associates in the guild until a space becomes available (usually not too long, there is always some attrition in membership). We had some great times in the game this month. We restarted our regular ops groups after the holiday and were able to full clear story mode Ravagers and are working on Temple of Sacrifice. We also cleared HM Scum and Villainy for the first time (we had previously made it to Styrak before 3.0 but didn't get him down due to the tight enrage timer). http://i.imgur.com/sa0V8pN.png In conquest this month we conquered 3 more planets bringing our guild total to 11 out of the 18 possible planets conquered. We had an extremely competitive match with an Imperial guild named Praytorian who mad us really work to conquer CZ-198. It really brought the guild together to work towards the common goal of winning the contest. Here are some fun facts: Out of 414 characters in the guild 161 had some amount of conquest points. 67 people contributed points to the guild 36 people reached their personal goal of 25000 points for the week on 99 characters Average points per character = 73583 points I'm proud and amazed at what this guild can achieve. Pia Fidelis, AmonRe Operations Friday Night Ops Our Ops groups on Friday Nights are still going strong. We are able to field 3 full 8 man groups almost every week (or sometimes a 16 and an 8). But we are always looking for new regular members for our Ops groups. Please see this thread for more information if you are interested. 1/9 - Groups 3&4 did a com run of the first bosses from ToS and Ravagers then a full run of TFB. It was a smooth run aside from an oops wipe on the Terror. 1/9 - Groups 1&2. We did HM S&V and got through it without too much trouble. We did get a bit of bad luck on the Olok and the droids fight, but we eventually got through it. We did still hit the enrage timer on Stryrak but we managed to power through it and get him down. 1/16 - Groups 2&5. Groups 2&5 took on Terror from Beyond HM. We got through the first two boss fights without much issue. Operator IX took us a while though. Each time we did improve and eventually we managed to defeat the tron boss. After that we proceeded to take down undead Kephess after a few tries. At that point we were running out of time so we called it a night. 1/16 - Groups 1 & 3 We had a full half our usual groups missing and as such I didn't want to give the Ravagers a go so instead I pulled everyone from the alternate groups plus a few others and we instead did 16 man Dread Fortress with 15 people :sick: Getting everyone gathered up and started took some time but once that happened it was smooth sailing, we had a few deaths but no issues with the OP, quite a few people managed to get that stage of the Oricon story done on some characters that hadn't done it before. 1/23 - Groups 1&2. Groups 1&2 took on SM the Ravagers. Unfortunately, one of our tanks was locked out of Sparky so we had to 7 man that fight, but we didn't have any issues doing so. Fortunately, that same tank (Draven) had a good amount of experience with the Operation which helped us immensely. It took us half a dozen or more tries but we finally managed to down Bulo. The key to that fight is basically just survive and worry more about surviving than basically anything else. Both Torque and Master and Blaster took us a few attempts to get the hang of but weren't too difficult. We took a few tries at the final boss but we couldn't get Cort and her bird down. We had the bird down under 5% on a try but just didn't have quite enough. It was getting late so we called it a night. http://i.imgur.com/e8CcsFt.jpg 1/23 - Groups 4&5, and more! Special thanks to ScottChain who put together additional team, to turn our 8 man group into a 15 man group. We then went into and conquered DreadFortress. Well done to everyone. 1/30 - Groups 1&3 conquered Ravagers without a single wipe. I'm scooping Cygni because I'm still doing a happy dance all over those drunken pirates corpses. There will be a BBQ of roasted Pearl-the -Possessed-Parrot and their rum in Azai's stronghold for the next week. 1/30 - Groups 4&5&More. For the first part of our evening we gathered 32 people and split up into two groups of 16 to do Toborro's Courtyard on HM to gain some conquest points. Then I took Groups 4&5 and several regular alternates and signups and we did 16 man Story Mode Dread Palace. We got through most of it with no issue but the Council fight did take a few tries. Lance Squadron Command Unit We got 23 people together to take down the command unit (world boss on Yavin). We did manage to get him down eventually with a lot of people dying and coming back. However, a few of us were useless because of frame rate issues (even at the lowest settings) and some people were still running back when the boss went down. Hopefully they will make some performance changes that make the fight possible for everyone. Rough Raiders Ops Group 1/6 - Rough Raiders took on the Dread Fortress with only 7. It was a very smooth run. 1/12 - Rough Raiders with the lovely Auradena substituting for Rhyael took on HM DF and got up to Corrupter Zero before fatigue and frustration led us to call it a night. It was a good showing for our first try at it. The longer cooldown for interrupts is a definite issue with Draxus, but it is possible to heal and cleanse through a missed interrupt--not fun, but possible. http://i.imgur.com/bN6nNbH.jpg 1/19 - Rough Raiders. The lovely Auradena subbed for us once again. First, we discovered the hard way that Dreadtooth with 5 stacks is not actually kill able by 3 level 60 DPS, a tank and two healers. After havering our tushes handed to us by the toothy one we proceeded to Ravagers where we made short work of Sparky and her offspring and made good progress on Bulo. It was the first time through for several folks, but we got him down to 6% before location bugs struck and folks started falling to circles they weren't standing in. We finally called it with a promise to fix the morale officer's morale next week. SIS Report on Vindicta Activities Our spies have intercepted communications about a number of Vindicta activities that happened during the month of January that we should keep an eye on. Many Bothans died to bring us this information. 1/8 - Imperial Ops - After grabbing Drachmir to be our 8th man, we rolled into the Dread Palace with a mix of 55-60 folks. It was a smooth run, aside from a "Wait, how did I just die?" gradual wipe on Raptus. :sick: A couple of Holocron decorations were dropped and much fun with snowballs and sparkle powder was had. 1/15 - Imperial Ops - We took our newly restructured teams (1&3 this week) for a spin through TFB! Things got a little bit out of whack the first time we took on Operator IX, but we made it through the 2nd go-round safely. After rounding up some cash from the crazy guys just past Operator IX, we called it a night and went home to count our credits. 1/22 - Imperial Ops - Groups 2+3 -- mostly level 60 at this point! -- took on S&V in a smooth, relatively quick run. I think the only deaths we had might have been our first encounter with an Arms Trader and his reflective shield :sick: This was the first time completing the Op for a number of characters (and players!), and lots of Hutt banners, a couple of bazaar lanterns, and even a Krayt dragon skull dropped! 1/29 - Imperial Ops - Groups 1&2 took a leisurely stroll through the Dread Fortress, hopping and skipping the whole way. Or something. ;D It was a nice and smooth run, aside from a bit of derp with that pack of monsters at the "well" before Bestia's inner sanctum. Guild Meeting This month, with our guild ship nearly completely unlocked, we took some time to explore the ship's setup and decor -- after the obligatory dance party to start things off. :sick: The decorated/themed rooms received a lot of praise -- kudos to all those who have put in time and materials getting our spaces spiffy! Some interesting ideas for room concepts were brought up, as well, hopefully with discussions on the forum to follow. After the ship was thoroughly explored, we headed to the Guild HQ on Coruscant for another tour. The decor (including the Life Day decorations!) was admired and mulled over. Hopefully, folks now have an up-to-date idea of the guild spaces available to them, and perhaps some notions on how to use and improve them! RP Nights 1/14 - From: Director of Animal Welfare (Corellia) To: The Thirteenth Legion Subject: Thank You We wanted to extend our thanks again to the generous donation of 3 Manka cubs and 12 Flutterplumes to our Sanctuary on Corellia. Though we are currently unable to accept visitors due to the war, your donations have replaced a fraction of the animals we have lost. The children of Refugee Camp Dorn won the competition to name the Manka, and Camp Esk named half of the Flutterplume. I have included the news feed I mentioned before if you wish to follow their progress yourself. Again you have our thanks. We know that the 13th has many important missions and that you took the time even with something so small means a great deal to this program, the animals and these children. [end transmission] 01/19 - Daytime RP Group Investigating the crash of an imperial shuttle in the Government District of Corellia's capitol, the Legion discovered that a large chunk of the archives were missing and replaced with fake data and that it was not an imperial crash but a team disguised as imperials. The Legion's analysts are reviewing the data recovered and will make a recommendation on how to proceed. 01/20 - Evening RP Group Two teams were sent to escort science teams to pick up experimental data cores, the Legion confronted a corrupted AI that had been laying traps for some time and stopped the hideous plans. The teams successfully retrieved two data cores and they are currently waiting for analysis. 1/26 - Daytime RP Group went to Balmora to follow up on a lead found at the crash site on Corellia. The mission was two fold, find any data on the chips manufactured at the Imperial controlled Okara Droid Factory and shut down the power generators to render the factory useless but hopefully save the factory for when the Balmorans reclaimed the area. Three teams (protected by Jedi) went in and coordinated a simultaneous slice attack against the systems and were able to pull useful data before the factory was overrun by droids. The teams rescued all of the Balmoran research teams enslaved by the Imperials and evac them before the Imperials self destructed half the factory. The Balmorans lost the R&D department but the rest of the factory should be able to be repaired in time, but not worth the time for the Imperials to invest in a war zone. Hard Mode Flashpoint Nights 1/12 - Return of the Hard Modes - Had enough for one group. Unfortunately they got the Tython one which was still bugged at the time. Hopefully next week will go better. 1/19 - Weekly Hard Modes - So the L60 stuff should really be called Nightmare Modes. It's that hard. We had one group and couldn't get past the first boss on Manaan. We eventually gave up and ran through a L55 since the daily reward is the same. Conquest Events: 12/30: Rakghoul Resurgance - 2nd Place on Corellia (1,306,820 points) Due to the holidays we didn't put a ton of effort in during the week and we canceled our weekly conquest related event. However, we still managed to finish in 2nd place. 1/6: Total Galactic War - 1st Place on Balmorra (Republic) (2,075,710 points) For Total Galactic War we look for a place where we can pick up an easy victory (hopefully), so we wait until Tuesday evening to make a invasion selection. It worked out well this week and we did cruise to an easy win on Balmorra. http://i.imgur.com/FTdhhuq.jpg 1/7 Commander and Conquest Event. We managed to round up 17 people to participate in our weekly conquest event where we do somethings that get us conquest points. First we took out a named commander on Belsavis without too many issues. Then we split up into 4 groups and did some flashpoints. The nice thing about the newer flashpoints is that if you don't wipe too many times it doesn't take very long, my group finished up in about 30 min doing HM Korriban. 1/13: Death Mark - 4th Place on Tatooine (1,606,271 points) This was the first time when we had an event where we had previously conquered all of the planets so we decided to take it easy. We still easily finished in the top 10 for the week. 1/14 Commander and Conquest Event. This week was Deathmark and we had all of the planets conquered already so we went and did Tatooine again because it provides the best bonuses. So for our commander and conquest event we got about 20 people and attacked the Imperial base near the Dune Sea. There we defeated a named commander and proceeded through the base. We fought our way through Imperial territory until we reached their cantina. Then we danced. http://i.imgur.com/IRKoRbf.jpg 1/20: Revenge of the Revanites - 1st Place on Oricon (2,727,965 points) With two of the major conquesting guilds going for Rishi and Yavin we decided it would be a good time to pick up a place we were missing so we went for Oricon and captured it without much difficulty. http://i.imgur.com/QVmL8Fv.jpg 1/21 Commander and Conquest event. We had around 22-24 people join us over the course of the event. First we took out a named commander on Voss. Then we traveled to Yavin 4 where we proceeded to attack some Imperial Bases. However, the conquest objective for defeating Imperial base guard droids and turrets is not working properly. We went and attacked all three Imperial bases (other than the war council area) and we only got credit for the walkers that were at the middle base (the one near the Massassi Village). We defeated the guard droids and walkers near the Temple of Sacrifice and some of the guards at the Prowler's Trail base but none of those counted. We didn't really feel like grinding 25 walkers that have 3 million HP each and having to wait to have them respawn so we just gave up. 1/27: The Trade Emporium - 1st Place on CZ-198 (11,846,971 points) This was an epic battle with Praytorian. They started off really fast and we had to play catch up, but we over took them a day or two into the week and then eventually grew our lead to a couple million points. They did a great job of keeping pace with us for most of the week and are to be commended for their effort. It made the week much more exciting than usual and it is nice to have some stiff competition on occasion. http://i.imgur.com/jexeFaP.jpg 1/28 Commander and Conquest Event. We had around 24 folks the whole evening for our weekly conquest related event. We started on Voss by defeated an unnammed commander and then proceeded to take out the requisite 25 base guards for the conquest objective. Then we headed to take on the Nightmare Pilgrim which we did with little trouble. Finally we headed to Makeb and took on Imperial Base guards on Avesta Plantation. http://i.imgur.com/ZKBQrT5.jpg
  20. This. We did this the other night and my frame rate just died, despite turning down my graphics settings to the lowest possible. They need to work out the kinks of that fight for sure. Too bad they didn't instantiate it.
  21. The conquest objective for defeating Imperial base guard droids and turrets is not working properly. Last night we went and attacked all three Imperial bases (other than the war council area) and we only got credit for the walkers that were at the middle base (the one near the Massassi Village). We defeated the guard droids and walkers near the Temple of Sacrifice and some of the guards at the Prowler's Trail base but none of those counted.

  22. Absufan, If you are still looking you might be interested in our guild, The Thirteenth Legion. We are an guild of mostly post college age folks that like to play all aspects of the game including PvE, PvP, GSF, RP, Conquests, and more! Though we don't usually accept members that are under 18, we have made exceptions for mature family members of our members in the past so we could cross that bridge if we get to it. We are a primarily Republic side guild but we do have and Imperial alt guild and some Imperial Events. We have monthly guild meetings and a wide variety of events every week with something happening almost every day! Feel free to check us out, the link to our site and our recruitment post here in the forums are in my signature. Best of luck in your guild search!
  23. Thirteenth Legion Monthly Status Report - December 2014 Message from the Commander This was a bit of a light month in terms of guild group activities due to the release of 3.0 and the Holiday Season (though our number of active players is higher than ever!). We mostly worked on leveling characters to 60 through the new content and exploring the two new areas. http://i.imgur.com/F7KIjnQ.jpg However we still took time to conquer a couple of planets along the way. We also added a good number of new folks to the guild as we continue to grow. We are rapidly approaching our membership cap of 125, only around 10 spots remain open. We are also starting to creep up there in terms of the number of characters in our Republic guild. If it becomes an issue we will let you know, but for now feel free to continue to add alts to the guild freely. On a sadder note, we lost one of our members Zayneil who passed away. He was a dear friend and he will be sorely missed. We held a memorial service for him in game where we told some stories, threw glitter and snowballs and other things, and danced. I think he would have liked that. http://i.imgur.com/3MgL997.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Anf6YSQ.jpg We also did several things in his honor. First we put together a little garden on the Guild ship in the crew quarters (complete with fireworks ). We also are keeping one of his characters in both our Republic and Imperial guilds. We have also started a suggestion thread for a cooler of Rodian Mayo Sandwiches to be added as a decoration. Lifeday was a fun event this year. While not an extensive thing, it is still fun to hurl snowballs at everything and everyone. And with the new decorations we did some fun things like turn our Headquarters into a snow globe: http://i.imgur.com/ayAcm1N.jpg I hope everyone had a great holiday season and look forward to a new year of SWTOR with all of you! Pia Fidelis, AmonRe Operations Friday Night Ops Our Ops groups on Friday Nights are still going strong. We are able to field 3 full 8 man groups almost every week (or sometimes a 16 and an 8). But we are always looking for new regular members for our Ops groups. Please see this thread for more information if you are interested. 12/12 - We had plenty of people come out to try the first of the new Operations on Friday, The Ravagers. We ended up with 3 full Ops groups so we divided up and took it on. My group got past the first boss Sparky on the second try. We might have got her on the first try but unfortunately one of our healers was crushed by the door which made things difficult. We took a good number of attempts at the second boss, Quartermaster Bulo but we only managed to get him down to about 40%. We did learn a few things though that could help us. First, we group up on him to start the fight except for the offtank which will take the first blue circle up to the back area to kill the first adds that spawn then the group can spread out some. Tank him facing away from the group with both tanks alternating so that he does his shotgun and scattergun blasts away from the group. When the mass barrage comes have the dps drop circles near the doors on the side where the boss is located and have a tank go up to the back area and drop circles there and have the healers just hang out in the middle and try to heal people as best as they can. DPS down any remaining drunken pirates. 12/19 - With the Holidays approaching we were down a number of folks, but we managed to get a group of 16 together. First we took out Nightmare Pilgrim for the conquest points. Then we did Toborro's Hard Mode, which was much easier than it used to be. After that, we attempted to do some of the Ravagers in 16 man SM. We got past the first boss on the first try, but Quartermaster Bolo proved to be too difficult for us to clear. Since we still had some time left, we decided to give Temple of Sacrifice 16 man SM a try. We got past the first boss on that Operation on the first try also, but could not get past the walkers. After a couple of attempts at the walkers we called it a night. 12/26 - Turnout was expected to be low but we had no trouble getting 8 together however that still left a few others out in the cold as we had 12 interested in going, so with much begging and pleading we managed to rustle up 3 more and has a group of 15. We paid a visit to Dread Fortress and with a few deaths along the way managed to clear the OP with no wipes. Toborro's Courtyard We are halting our weekly Toborro's because of 3.0 and the level cap being raised. The value of it has lessened in terms of the rewards and the challenge is completely gone. We will still do it on occasion when we can get conquest points but not on a regular basis. It is too bad there wasn't a similar thing added that was level 60 with the new expansion because Toborro's was a great thing. Rough Raiders Ops Group Rough Raiders: spent the month running nightmare EC in the quest for tank mounts for all. 3.0 made the interrupts on Kephess' droids far more of a challenge than they should be, but otherwise the op is pretty simple at level 60. SIS Report on Vindicta Activities Our spies have intercepted communications about a number of Vindicta activities that happened during the month of December that we should keep an eye on. Many Bothans died to bring us this information. Imperial activity was light this month, with a just a few reports of Vindicta agents showing up on Rishi and Yavin 4. 12/11 - Imperial Ops - We assembled a mixed group of 8 folks, including our special guest for the week, burnedd, and hopped into TFB for fun and profit (and XP!). We discovered -- more on the big trash fights than the bosses -- that our DPS indeed seems weaker, but also that some of that "trash" feels extra deadly. Still, our only wipe was during Operator IX when we got a bit behind on the colors & cores on the first go-round. We shook it off and cleaned up on the 2nd try. By then it was getting a little late, so we opted to mug the rich mobs right after Operator IX and called it a night, with a nice take of 200k+ credits and 18 Elite comms apiece, 5? Hyperspace Irregularity decorations, and XP for those of us nowhere near 60 yet. Guild Meeting For the guild meeting this month we did a naked run of the Esseles for laughs and prizes. I believe we had 24 Legionnaires participate in the run. The rules were simple, take off all of your gear and go into the Esseles story mode. When a piece of gear drops roll need on it. If you win it and can wear it put it on. At the end we gathered on the guild ship and counted how many pieces of gear folks got (regardless of if they could wear it or not) and then handed out prizes starting with the person with the most gear collected. http://i.imgur.com/5waFsxz.jpg This lead to some people misunderstanding what we were doing . http://dkbin.com/swtor/esselesrun2.jpg RP Nights RP nights for the month were suspended due to the release of 3.0. We are picking up RP again with the new year and we are going to be starting somewhat fresh. This is a great time to get acclimated with the RP scene in the guild if you are interested in that. We have weekly RP events on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. Please visit the Events forum and the Calendar for more information. Hard Mode Flashpoint Nights - MJS2570 Hard Mode Flashpoints were also suspended due to 3.0 being released. We are picking them back up in January. Conquest Events: 12/2: Death Mark - 1st Place on Nar Shaddaa (2,194,512 points) http://i.imgur.com/7GQm9Sw.jpg 12/9: Emergency Operations - 5th Place on Oricon (972,333 points) 12/16: The Trade Emporium - 1st Place on Voss (9,003,766 points) 12/17 Commander and Conquest event - For our commander and conquest event this week we took on a named commander on Voss for the first time since the 3.0 release. Even with our gear being lower because of the level cap increase we didn't have any trouble taking out the commander with around 16 people. We also defeated the Nightmare Pilgrim, and took out base guards on Voss for the conquest points. 12/23: Titans of Industry - 2nd Place on CZ-198 (2,325,360 points)
  24. The Thirteenth Legion and Vindicta checking in. No changes in information.
  25. Glad to hear those locations are going to be added, I was wondering about this myself.
