Hi there, I am a returning founder looking for a fun guild to join to do content with. I did some early lvl 50 group content on SWTOR and have other MMO raiding experience.Looking for a cool community to join. Thanks, Ellbee One

Hi there, Just realized that this is the wrong server to post in. My bad, sorry for that.

I am level 26, almost 27. My slicing skill is 400. Sending out 2 companions at a time while the 3rd is with me. I have BioAnalysis and BioChem as my other skills. What I have seen is this: Slicing is perfect for the following scenarios: Credits while leveling Credits for skill leveling Raiders who don't want to farm for hours a week for repair bills People who do not play very often What Slicing will not do is: Be the top end-game money maker - High end crafting will smoke the returns in time Stop gold farmers - if something has value, they will exploit it regardless if its slicing or bio or whatever. Imbalance the end-game SWTOR economy. Notice I said end-game, where biochems in bulk and oranges will sell for 20k a pop to satisfy the min-max crowd. All in all, I have made about 200k, I've spent 65k on two mounts and training, 30k to train bio and another 30k in gear. I have about 80k on me and will get it back up there but I have no preconceived notion that slicing will top high end crafting. I have pretty much hit the ceiling and that's the rub, slicing has a ceiling while crafting can continually get higher since very few are high level enough to buy high end items, there is NO ONE raiding yet, etc. But when there are mostly level 50s and many raiders, things will change and level out in favor of crafting quickly. NOTE: Some may abuse the system and have multiple chars slicing, etc. But seriously, you can have multiple chars do any skills and make money. it is all in HOW you play the game and Bioware wanted to make end-game accessible for the raiders without having them farm 10 hours on top of raiding. I have played EQ (missed my Shadowknight), LOTRO (Captains ftw), Rift (Mage..) and WoW (7 lvl 85 toons). I remember WoW back in BC where you were farming as often as raiding for mats for your flasks and pots. Even after cauldrons and such, you still farm a lot in WoW, Rift and LOTRO. Slicing was designed to reduce that amount of farming, really that is all. At low levels it just SEEMS like a ton of credits, but 10 bucks says 100k credits is nothing in 6 months.

Dec 6th here and nothing...

Dec 6th and not in, with the extreme flakiness of the forums and site, I suspect they are done for the day.

I am ok with tomorrow as it looks like Dec 6 will be tomorrow and not today. My personal biggest concern is being able to roll on the server with ALL of my friends and not being locked out of being able to join it.

Like you said, MOST everyone; it kinda sucks to be one of those that are just outside the Dec 15th access date and will be more than likely the 16th or 17th. Like I said earlier, BW should have made it known way, way, way earlier that they would stagger entry so people could have made an informed decision on when to pre-order. I am sure most everyone would have pre-ordered sooner. I am ok with waiting, I am not ok with the staggered entry or being told one thing and getting another. The people pre-ordering in late November and early December have as much right as any to get their play time, doesn't matter if it's early, late or whenever. We PAID the same amount of money and now have to wait and watch others play the game when we were ALL told the same thing about early access. Every single player was told UP TO 5 Days, which was a lie since close to a million will get 5-7 days and the last 100,000 or so get 3-4 days. BW wanted as much PR as they could muster and a Willy Wonka style "golden ticket" rush was the way to go. Good to see everyone pay the same amount while some get to use the product they paid for and others are told they cannot, don't give me the party line as the bottom line is there are many that get MORE for the same money than others and that is BS.

From reading their post, That's only good for peeps pre-ordering prior to Nov 20. Those after are the 16th and beyond...
