So what exactly is the point of this post? To tell us that you were able to pug EV normal without using voice? Thats super great and all, but really who cares? Pugs are horrible and frustrating. I guess I am happy for you, you seem to make it seem like a huge accomplishment. Great to see you can pug ev on normal mode and one shot some of the bosses! Cleared nightmare mode on both KP/EV in under 2 hours with the same 8 man group, it gives a much better sense of accomplishment. You should try it.

So whats the problem? Just look for another group who is willing to go slower and probably wipe at least a few times. Without gear your not getting a set bonus, and you have to be able to play your role efficiently. Seriously, it's a pug why do you care? The solution to your problem: say okay and start looking for another group, or start one yourself and get people who dont care about your gear. It's super easy to get 126-136 gear. 140 too but it just takes more time.

Our guild completed 8 man nightmare mode KP last night and got at least 2 different columni drops.

It's very easy. I'll admit I wiped twice the first run though, but now I run it in 20 mins tops. It's by far the easiest one yet imo. The trick to beating the turrets without wiping with ease: When you mount, the turrets rotate 360 degrees, so the person at the 6 o clock position does a 180 and aims at the person at the 12 oclock position, covering this person back. The person at the 12 oclock position does the same thing, covering the person at the 6 oclock position. This greatly increases the distance the mobs must travel to get in attack range of you. You still want to focus down the white/ranged ones first, then the melee. Beat both parts of the turret phase without taking ANY dammage at all. This tactic also needs to be done at the 3 oclock and 9 oclock positions as well obviously. Try it, its incredibly easy if you do it this way. The second phase is also easy, all you do is run up and knock the guys off the side. You can't knock off the roaming one who casts the fire, but hes easy. If you know he is going to knock you off the side with his knockback, then mind your position. Have your back to a wall or to an area that you wont be knocked off. It's really simple, and is suprising to me how many people can't seem to figure this out. You dont even need a tank for this FP. I think it's fun and it's a nice change from the normal FP's. It can be difficult to explain to someone who hasn't done it before, and expect to wipe on the turrets if you have people in your group who have not done it. After the initial practice run and wipe, they will get the hang of it and it should be a cakewalk after that. Stop complaining and use your heads!

LOL yeah you can't look the chest if you wipe. Maybe dont wipe and youll get the loot you deserve? If you wipe 3 times on one boss in BP then you probably dont deserve to loot the chest.

I've only recently gotten access to the space combat missions, but I was thinking it would be pretty awesome to have PvP space combat zones or missions if they don't already exist. Maybe even some co-op space combat missions would be fun, like heroic or flashpoints, instead of single player ones. I may be wrong, maybe there are pvp space combat missions. Does this happen later? If not, does anyone else think it would be a good idea as well?
