<Ascension> is one of the largest and most active Republic guilds on the server. We have all the amenities (guildship, teamspeak, guildbank, etc.), as well as a mature playerbase with room for promotions within the guild. We have three raid teams as well as a pick-up raid night on Tuesdays where we form a 16 man with whoever's interested for either Temple or Ravagers (sometimes others, but mostly these two). We don't have a scheduled pvp night but we regularly group up for pvp and actually do quite well. If you're interested in joining up, shoot in game mail to Ghinzu or add me to your friends list and I'll start looking out for you.

Regardless of why it has been dying or how toxic the community was, the fact is there are a lot of good people here who would like more people to play with. It's going to get worse over the summer, and it'd really mean a lot to those of us still around if a solution could be implemented before the population problem is absolutely unbearable. I'd really not like to wait as long as it took them to implement the first server merges so long ago.

Certainly a higher level of quality should be expected. At prime time several nights ago the Republic fleet had 56 people on it.

Let's face it Bioware, the game becomes less active during the summer months. Prophecy of the Five's population is in terrible condition. My guild, along with another decided to form an alliance of sorts to help keep things fun and interesting, but that guild has now transferred to another server, and things are looking bleak. The server status is always light, and I often don't see more than a single instance for either fleet. Queues take too long, ranked pops are ridiculously infrequent, and you can pretty much forget about GSF. Even queuing for flashpoints as a tank I have to wait at times. During the rakghoul event it was even difficult to get pug groups for the Eyeless at times. I imagine things will be similar or worse once we get to the Gree event in two weeks. My guild has managed to do quite well with the situation, and we usually have 25 - 30 people on at prime time. We have put great effort into bolstering our numbers and keeping things fun, but I know of several other guilds that are struggling big time. A few months ago I agreed that cross server queues would be a great way to address the population issues, but the problem has outgrown that solution. I don't want to run around empty planets, and I love open world PvP. Honestly, as much as I'm going to hate renaming some characters, we really need a server merger. This has gotten out of hand and there is no other fix. Please read and take this seriously, I have a well established legacy of characters and I shouldn't have to spend ~$300 to transfer to a new server. I also like my friends, so that's out of the question anyway.

If someone could PM me a code I'll use one for my guild then put the other three up for this thread.

I too would love to get a code from anyone willing to help me out. I'll be spreading the love to my guildies. Thanks!

I'm glad that Xeno doesn't drop gear tokens. I could only imagine the whining and fighting over gear rolls this week. Would drive me nuts. Go clear current content for current gear.

<Ascension> has been around for quite some time and we've been frustrated with the low population of our server lately. While we aren't interested in being absorbed by another guild, we'd love to form an alliance with your guild. At prime time we have about 20 online, many of our members are competent raiders as well as pvp'ers. If you are interested in chatting sometime send mail to Ghinzu or Wiffle in game.

I've never had lag problems before 3.0, but since have been plagued by many, and it's everywhere in game. My frames per second are great and my internet connection never drops. What I have been getting for the several weeks since expansion are massive spikes in lag, making the game unplayable for 5 to 10 seconds at a time. Underlurker is a nightmare. I'm on a progression raiding team and this has been so bad that I'm considering quitting because it's holding back the rest of the team. I am a DPS and occasionally a tank and cannot perform a proper rotation, sometimes miss taunts, and worse, at times cannot complete mechanics. I'm not going to go into the blah blah blah I paid for this service rant, but I've been a long time subscriber and supporter and feel so frustrated that I want to log off before my scheduled raid time is even close to half done. Please, can we get an update? I'd really like to hear what is going on on your end Bioware.

Far from it, if I was entitled I would have expected that slot machine for free. I was well aware they would adjust the drop rates, not nuke them.

I paid REAL money on packs for this slot machine. AFTER it was "working as intended". Now, it is absolutely worthless! Thanks..... some real honest business right there. If I go buy a TV at Best Buy should they be allowed to come to my house and replace my 52" with a 32" and keep my money? Awful business practice..... I understand you needed to make changes, but you really need to TEST these things out BEFORE you sell them for REAL MONEY. Between this and how long the Ravagers exploit was allowed to run rampant I've lost a lot of faith in you guys.

I was wondering if we'll be able to cash these in for comms like we were able to in 2.0? Although I'm thinking this might not happen as all the current comm gear is going to be moved to new vendors..... perhaps all the arkanian, underworld, etc. gear will move there as well.

Few thoughts here..... 1. How is this thread still so active? Let's spend our time doing something else. 2. I've crunched the numbers, if you stack 25 missions (level 55 missions mind you), you'll get just over ONE level, that is level 56. I don't see how that really affects anybody as a level 56 can't exactly start the new operations anyways..... 3. I fully plan on stacking missions to get a quick level up, and all the while I do my mass mission turn in, I will think of you OP. 4.

Yeah I think I was wrong about the two months. Probably right about it being one month.

Once the guildmaster has become inactive (two months or so I think) the guild leadership will transfer to the next highest ranking individual. This could potentially be you, or another officer if they are active. Sorry I don't have more information on the time frame.

I'm interested in the title, but my PM's to you don't seem to be going through (weird error). If they did indeed make it through I look forward to your response, otherwise feel free to send me in game mail to "Ghinzu". I am on Pot5 as well.

I'm also concerned that no one will run hardmode flashpoints if this is implemented. There won't be a reason to.

The comms will likely remain the same. To be honest being geared to the teeth will only help because you'll likely be able to jump right into the new operations with little to no gearing effort, other than leveling of course.

I've already submitted my trace, but I was wondering if anything has been done yet or even planned? It's been impossible to complete my pvp dailies today. I d/c right before the end and thus get no credit after nearly 10 minutes of effort. It's been pretty frustrating and I haven't even begun Season 2 yet as a result. I don't want to tank my rating because of d/c's.

This is getting ridiculous. I'm spending 7 or 8 minutes of my time dominating a warzone, just to not get credit right before it concludes. This needs a fix immediately.

This definitely led to my demise in a warzone yesterday.

I don't mind turning Rakghoul as long as it's in the name of stylish hair. Worth it IMO

I was wondering where I can get some of the product that Theron Shan uses in his hair? I asked Jeelvic, everyone's favorite Jawa vendor, but he had no idea. Figured I'd ask you if this elusive brand of hair gel will be showing up on the Cartel Market? And while we're at it, what about Theron's motorcycle jacket and Ducati inspired speeder mount?

What would count as traditional jedi robes for you? Just curiuos to be honest.
