Strange. Only thing I can think of is the faulty tank might have forgot to pay her repair bill.

We are picking up a lot of recruits sub 40 so the level requirement must have been discarded some time back. I do think that you should at least finish Corouscant and get your ship before you apply since not having it would severely hamper your ability to participate in guild events.

The URL is now correct. http://www.alphacompanyonline.org/SWTOR/application.html

The manual or the application must have changed recently, the URL isn't working for me either. I'll get back to you.

There's no restrictions on facial hair or haircut. You'll have your helmet on anyway. As for race... no real restrictions but if you play a Pureblood then expect to be treated like one. That includes in character disdain, mistrust and just generally being treated like a piranha as well as out of character light-hearted teasing in guildchat and mumble. Basically you'd be a step below Jedi in my characters esteem

I'm not an amazing math person but if you're saying what I think you're saying then it makes sense to me haha. Here is what I think you're saying: Lets say for simplicity's sake that we're dealing with a tank with 20% Defense Chance and 50% Shield Chance and a shield proc relic that gives 500 Absorb for six seconds with a twelve second cooldown. Before: 500*(6/12)=250 static absorb. Problem with this ^^, it assumes perfect conditions where the proc will renew the instant the cooldown wears off. You propose: 500 * (6 / (12 + (some calculation involving incoming attacks per second minus whatever is defended and so can't be shielded and shield chance to figure out the amount of time between the end of the 12 sec cooldown and the beginning of the next proc))) = slightly less than 250 static absorb. Makes for better and more realistic time average. Am I understanding you right?

Qorbin handles all the applications, it's up to him once you put one in. I will say that there have been exceptions to the age limit in the past.

Well, it is 21 pages haha.

I just opened it. Seems to be working fine. It is a .pdf file so you need to have the right program on your computer to open it (Adobe Acrobat I believe). About joining our mumble... I don't think so. You can always just ask Q, Ricky or Rux in game and see if they feel differently. Maybe I'm too cautious.

We don't have a race restriction. But, we are a role playing guild so if you insist on being a Sith then prepare to be treated ICly as such (with suspicion, insults, etc.) as well as some good natured teasing OOC. If you are okay with that then feel free to apply as a Sith, if you're not then I'd suggest not doing that. As for who you can talk to in game, any officer or NCO will do. That would be Qorbin, Ricky (in any of his variations of the letter "i"), Rux/Jer'mi, Kjvago/Kj'vago/Nilskise or Æris/Kalypsa

Cool I was mostly asking out of curiosity, I can see them being useful for guardian tanks but not assassins or vanguards. Anyway, I sent Atthos an order for a Reflex Barrel

This sounds very interesting and I'm sure Alpha Company will be there. I am curious if this event is open to imperials and how you intend to make the /tell and /trade work if an imp get the Gem.

I noticed your website says that only best in slot or potentially desirable items are listed. I'm curious if you might have the Advanced Steadfast Enhancement 26/27 learned but unlisted?

Just wear a bucket

I think I know where you might have seen that.. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you saw it in the "This guild is for you if..." section. That is not a list of requirements, it is a list of reasons why you might enjoy the guild. In any case it is not a requirement to be a current or former service member. I am neither, but I have been in the guild for a year. So feel free to apply.

The manual is working again.

The manual is being reformatted to html this weekend. Other people have reported the same issue, I assume the reformatting is the reason why.

Zigna! We miss you! Come take a break from whatever mischief you're causing in Beregen Colony and visit our mumble sometime.

I know there's a Republic guild called Nocturne made specifically for late night players. I don't know anything about how far their raiding is or when they do it but it might be worth checking out.

I've played as a Tactics tank and previously as a Shield tank. Shock absorbers definitely works. I haven't done any proper testing of it but both me and people healing me have noticed its effects. I spec up to shock absorbers in Tactics and smoke grenade in Shield and notice a significant increase in both my damage output and my survivability with no decrease in my utility for guarding healers or objectives or ball running when compared to my previous Shield tree build.

A quick search in the 61/63 craftables thread and you find out that.... Datsyuk on Empire side can make them.

That sounds right. Thank you.

Quickest? Damn, not gonna happen as a tank then

1. Yes. Most of the WPvP that happens on the server breaks out in the area of the dune sea between Zaroshe and Thorozan. But occasionally there are events in other places and sometimes you'll find battles in Section X and Black Hole as well. 2. People do RP, you just gotta know where to find it. The Nar Shaddaa Promenade is usually a hotspot. A lot of guilds also have internal RP that's not as easy to find unless you're in those guilds. 3. I feel like Republic has the upper hand for the most part in my experience. I'm not on a ranked team but it seems like most of the teams out there are Republic with the top being Crimson Elite at the moment. In normal warzones it usually varies from day to day if one side is steamrolling or the other or its even. In my experience it's usually Republic that does the steamrolling or if not, then its an even day. 4. I can't imagine not being on an RP-PvP server. I like to dabble in all aspects of the game so not having world PvP would be a huge detriment and it boggles my mind how anyone can feel in character in a Star Wars setting without the threat of a fight breaking out when you're out in the world.
