  1. Update: we have 1 spot open for our current HM team. We are flexible with the roles our current team can switch too. A bit more about our current team: with our new group composition we are casually working on downing Commanders in TOS HM and Torque in Ravagers HM. While we do not strictly require it: all of our current members use Starparse so that we can see what area to focus on for improving Our raiding atmosphere is usually friendly, relaxed, some banter and sometimes friendly competition. We are also looking for players interested in running lvl 55 ops, specifically Nightmare modes. Our current ops times: (all days from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm UK time) Tue & Wed - current tier HM Fri - 55 NiM & older ops Sat - current tier SM ops (sometimes: Sun - anything else: World Bosses, reschedules)
  2. Hi! <Wraiths> is currently recruiting active PVE players for older ops like 55 (usually NiM) (Fri), SM (Sat) & HM (Tue, Wed) ops, from 7:30-10:00 pm (UK). There is also an effort going on at the moment getting back into PVP if that interests you As for perks: we offer guild ship, 10% XP, TS3 etc... We also welcome social members and members who just want to stay for levelling their characters via the 10% XP increase. Interested? Then please visit us at http://wraiths-swtor.shivtr.com On a personal note: I have been playing from launch as well but took a break when TFB NiM was released for a bit. Was in the same boat getting back into the game but found a nice place with the guild I am now.

  4. Hi and welcome back!

  5. Update: Wraiths are looking for a DPS, preferrably ranged, for one of our HM teams. As always we are still looking for players of all calibers for regular content (SM ops, world bosses, etc.). Our current ops schedule is Tuesdays, Wednesdays from 19:30 PM UK time, Fridays from 20:00 PM UK time. Please visit http://wraiths-swtor.shivtr.com to apply. You can also contact Shaddoe, Crete, LilleMand, Perkess or Voormedicus ingame if you have any questions.
  6. Hey, Wraiths are currently looking for players to strengthen our ops teams. We do run SM ops on schedule at least once a week (Fridays, starting at 8 PM UK time) , and we have two teams for HM ops, one of which is currently looking for a DPS. We would be happy to take you through SM content and if you want we can arrange a tryout for the HM team as well. Activity wise I would say we are a medium size guild, with all the perks you would expect (Guildship, 10% XP, TS3, etc...) Our website can be found at http://wraiths-swtor.shivtr.com or you can contact Shaddoe, Crete, Lille or Voormedicus ingame.
  7. Sadly you are right you won't notice it for the loading screens. You will still have the spinning wheel waiting for server communication most of the time. However, depending on your Visible Character Limit setting you may notice FPS improvements for when other player characters start appearing in your vicinity. What I imagine happens there, is that the game starts streaming assets for the other players to appear correctly right before they appear on your screen for good. It's not a huge difference (or maybe I have been on an SSD for too long now to remember the improvement exactly) but it is noticeable in crowded areas.
  8. Ren & Stimpy - Speaking of which I could use more Ren & Stimpy in my life...
  9. Yes, please! Doo eeet nao, BioWare.
  10. It's Yawn I.V. for intravenous of course.
  11. This. I would also add that it was one of the few instances where I turned the music up instead of off. That's about all the good things I have to say right now. I really wish BW after they finish this story line go back to designing HM FPs like mini-ops as they sort of were after launch. (when I was 2-manning the FP with a guildie I accidentally jumped the beast handler boss and my guildy was locked out from the fight. As a 186/180 geared PT tank with a 180/168 geared Treek I had not trouble dealing with both bosses at all. If the fight had not reset for some reason after a bit that fight at least is so yawn-inducing you can pretty mich stand there and do whatever).
  12. My personal issue is that I took a break just after doing everything there can be done in EC HM but just before the achievement system was put into place and EC NiM came out. Now I am sitting here with many of the older ops up to and including EC HM having not much progress (I only have bits of old ops progress that happened since I came back). This, frankly, sucks for HM ops forming that want achievements. I have done these ops many, many, many times on all three roles (healer, dps, tank) but everytime I try to explain the situation I usually get "ah, its fine if you know what you are doing", usually followed by "sorry <insert role> full" because someone else whispered after me who linked the achievement. Only solution to this is going on my tank and forming the groups myself (no, I don't want to see achievements especially not the ones I don't have. Besides, HM ops aren't that challenging with people usually being overgeared for older content). I really hope BW gets around to fixing these woes by comparing codex entries regarding ops progress but at this point I am not holding my breath...
  13. Two issues: First of all you are attaching a moral system to an argument over semantics (the choices might as well be called "do want", "don't care"). Secondly, moral obligations will put you at a disadvantage as soon as there is one guy who doesn't care about the proposed moral system at all. Edit: oh and then there is also the issue of your Stronghold score being a multiplier for conquests. One could argue "I need that for my stronghold to up my score to do better in conquests (and I really don't want to put 20 male dancers in my stronghold or plaster everything with basic chairs I want it to look nice please)"
  14. What we do to counter this is have the guys kiting through raptus jump once he is past him. This is said to force a position update on the server and should help towards positional sync issues with client and server.
  15. Wait, did they remove that functionality again? When testing the group finder on PTS eons ago there actually was a tooltip showing you your place in the queue if you moused over the green group finder LED like icon long enough when queued. Or does it still have that bug where you have to put the mouse cursor in a very specific place almost pixel perfect for the tooltip to show? Guess, I'll find out when I log in tonight.
  16. While the OP certainly succeeds at being entertaining with a nice writing style, just the effort of arguing with the healer plus writing the original post is most likely greater already than having just adjusted the pace to a slightly slower one. Despite maining a healer, I am currently tanking ops and FPs for my guild and in PUGs/GF queues. Whenever someone is irritated by my pace I usually turn around and ask the group if I should adjust the pace as asked for by the person that was irritated. This turns an issue directed at me into an issue directed at the group which can be resolved by a democratic resolution (quick majority "vote" if you will). I haven't had a case so far where the person being irritated then turns against the whole group by resuming the complaints.
  17. Without having actually seen the new FP yet, I have to agree with the OP. BW, if you have to do FPs at least make them challenging as Lost Island HM was when it came out.
  18. There shouldn't be emargo dates except for the usual life time of cartel packs. As I understand it, when a new line of packs releases the line before the last is phased out. The Star Cluster packs were different and thus their shelf life much shorter because they are tied to the casino event (BW's "experiments" with unlock price changes also plays a role in this).
  19. Yeah I am in the same boat. I returned februrary this year and while I did manage to unlock some of them through levelling to 55 and making new alts there are still some that are a bummer to be missing. For example my EC progression still says 0% even though I have the nightscythe mount and done EC HM to death in both 8 and 16m. On one of my characters I got each and every datacron there is, yet it stil doesn't show anything for it, which seems suprising since shouldn't that be verifiable by codex entries? I also filed a ticket, got told the same plus that I should file a bug report (which I did on each issue I could find) but I don't think its ever going to get fixed sadly.
  20. Er... copy pasta mistake? If not, hey, welcome OS X users. The more people the merrier.
  21. Been playing since early access... For me it's that it is sci-fi, it is Star Wars. That you got so many angles to immerse yourself into. On your own with the class stories (which are all well done at the very least if not very well done), in a warzone with buddies or in an ops with guildies. Unforgettable moments when everything clicks and your work as a collective shines. I was here during the mass exodus, when I was the only one on the fleet on my initial server (at friday evening 6 pm no less) but I must say BW did manage to turn it around.
  22. Biggest fail so far was putting up cartel packs, two seperate types which had the same icon. At the time I put them up I didn't even know I was dealing with 2 seperate types so once I had the initial price set I wanted to make use of the fact that the GTN remembers the last listing price. I noticed too late (probably 30 seconds later since I was distracted by a phone message) that the price of course was reset upon the second type. I put it up for the 4500 base price apparently and it sold almost instantly.
  23. Wow, thanks Chemmie. That's a lot of info, thanks for putting it together. Bookmarked.
  24. Unfortunately for returning players that played in 2011/2012 many of the achievements are bugged and up to now haven't been able to be fixed retroactively. I am in the same boat. I am missing so much stuff I must look like a fresh player to whoever inspects my achievements. Just to give an example on top of what you said: I did EC HM to death when it was fresh, in fact our guild was one of the first to get the Nightscythe speader. Yet I am 0% on EC and apparently I also don't have the achievement for Nightscythe speeder. Same with EV NiM and KP NiM. Same with the planetary progressions. I thought they should be able to correlate Codex entries to achievements but for some reason they can't. I picked up all datacrons for my first character that were in the game at the time. Don't have achievements for any of that either. I contacted CS a while back when I returned and they basically said "it is known. please file a bug report to help us fix it" which is what I did. That was about 5 months ago. Not all is bad though. There are achievements that will unlock for example if you level to 55 you will unlock the class achievements including the ones that say you reached 50. So basically if you reach the new endpoint on some of the progression achievements all the stations on that progressions will also unlock. Same with crew skills for example.
