  1. You do realize that you don't get Flagship encryptions from heroics, right?
  2. I'll put a +1 on this out of principle, as we were some of the biggest (and loudest) proponents of server xfers w/ guild assets. But unfortunately, to keep our guild members happy and active in-game, we made the decision to migrate off of PoT5 to our new home on Shadowlands. We are indeed starting from scratch again, and it's a long process...but we're getting there, I guess. It's a very unfortunate situation for those who are stuck on dead servers with fully unlocked ships, strongholds, etc. In the end for us, it was a sink or swim decision...and we made our choice out of respect to our members and the health of their gaming experience. Best of luck to you guys - I really hope you pull off what we strove to accomplish but never did due to silence on the matter...but it certainly wasn't due to a lack of trying Regards, Geejzo - GTS
  3. Just to reiterate - this is the post that helped me. 2 PC's, one on Win7, one on Win10. Thank you VERY MUCH ReaverSK - you have made a lot of people happy on Reddit - I posted this with due credit.
  4. This worked for me as well - thank you very much!!
  5. Well, we kind of give a ****, which is why I would take the time to put this in writing. Also, I cross-posted this on the Reddit sub as well, and there are more people than you think who feel the same way...not just on PoT5, but several other servers as well. I know you were a big proponent of the 90CC transfers when they came out, and that's your choice (I used to read the forums more than I do now). We opted not to use that service because we all have stuff we've worked for on this server (both personal and guild-wise). We don't want to move. Also, I personally find it ridiculous that there are no means to transfer guild assets if that is what we all ended up doing. You're right - they probably do not gaf what we do or think. But we, as officers, feel like we'd be doing our members a disservice by not bringing it up and at least trying. Regardless, thanks for your comments
  6. Hey folks - thank you all for the excellent and constructive feedback. Glad to hear that Ascension is sticking around! To be completely honest, I don't know which direction GTS going to take. I've been somewhat absent lately, and I first heard of these considerations the other night when my GM emailed me. Now, we've been talking about the server condition for quite some time...probably since a few months before 4.0 dropped, when you could really see the population waning. So, we'll see what happens as a result of our meeting tonight. And again, thank you for reading and chiming in on this situation. Take care!
  7. Hi, my SWTOR name is Geejzo, and you may recall me from various Reddit / Forum threads regarding the status of PvP servers, or possibly as one of the folks who put together http://www.savepvp.tk. My Reddit name is podad143 if you want to look any of them up. Let me preface this by saying the following: - I have no major issues with the game as it is right now; it’s more story heavy than I prefer, but that’s fine. I wish there were more endgame things to do, but that’s not my purpose here - I get that there have been and currently are 90CC transfers (until Tuesday 4/26) - There are currently NO means for guilds to transfer their assets between servers - There are no current plans that we know of to merge SWTOR servers - I get the fact that it is bad business to mention merging / consolidating servers I’m not here to start any arguments. The posts I reference above are more geared towards retaining PvP-only servers…but I feel like we’re beyond that. This time, I’m here to shine a bit more light on the fact that there are several near-empty servers in SWTOR, and in every single communication we receive from BW/EA, there is nothing said about future plans to address this. There are folks on servers, such as PoT5, who have invested time and in-game / real-life money into this game, and we feel that we’re being treated like second-hand citizens. We pay for this game too, and in our opinion, we’re not getting what we pay for. Most of us were put here through the forced transfers a couple of years back. I didn’t think of that as a bad thing at the time, as I ended up finding a great group of people, and we have had a blast. But, it has become an absolute ghost town on PoT5. We see the same people in Warzones, and hell, half the time the WZ’s are empty; don’t even ask about group finder…I quit using that sometime early last year; the economy is in shambles; Pub-side PoT5 is almost like pre-merger…you can find yourself all alone on the fleet. I can’t imagine this is too much to ask…please say something or do something about this situation. We have one of the largest remaining guilds on PoT5, and these people are thinking of leaving the game rather than give up everything they’ve worked for over the years. Maybe to some folks it’s easy to leave things you’ve compiled, but for others (such as a lot of us), it’s not. If there are no plans to merge, then for God’s sake, give us tools to move the guild to a different server. That is another sore point – why should we willingly give up what we’ve built? We should do this because the developers are too lazy to implement this? Why? I have personally reached out to Eric and Tait in this regard (constructively, I might add), but I have been met with silence. Maybe the changes of late are pointing to an imminent merger, but there are people paying money to play this game and have fun who are seriously on the fence about leaving…myself being one (not that it matters, but beta player + solid sub since then). Can you not throw us a bone and let us know what your plans are? I hope this plea is taken at face-value and given due consideration. As I stated in my preface, the game itself is doing ok – it’s the maintenance and status of certain servers that is just becoming unbearable. We are having an officers’ meeting in the next couple of days to decide how to proceed – do we transfer and suck it up? Do we stay until we’re the last on the server? Or do we all part ways and look fondly on our time in SWTOR when it was a sustainable group / social game? Thank you all for your time, and I apologize for the length of this post. May the Force be with you.
  8. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there. Great in-game response from folks!
  9. tl;dr: http://i.imgur.com/eEfemQL.jpg Come join the community of PoT5 tomorrow night (12/16/15) for Life Day SnowWars, a snowball fight with some OPvP mixed in! A bunch of us figured it might be nice to take a break from the rep grind for a night and mingle with fellow PoT5'ers! We hope to see all of you out there! Don't forget to grab your Snowball Bomb from the Life Day vendor!

  11. Thank you for the video, Kreea! I'm going to have to practice this, but I can see how it is a great feature/skill to know. Been here since launch, and I love that I'm still learning new things about the game. Cheers, and keep up the good work!

    http://www.savepvp.tk FTFY - and thank you for spreading the word!
  13. It's been more of an issue of getting heads out on Wed nights. Also, I think the "scripted" form of OPVP turns some of our members off - ie, "Hey guys, meet us here and we'll fight". There's nothing wrong with that, just not our thing I guess. Having said that, I was just online and two of our officers said we did show up somewhere last night...not sure if it was Oricon or not. I heard there was quite a fight, but I was only on for a few and didn't get details. Oh, and give Mr-gray my regards - it's always fun running into him on Yavin
  14. 7-10, not start at 10. GTS has a group or two running around that time (or singles, depending on the turnout), so keep an eye out for us.
  15. If you think GF ops are the only way to gear higher than level 55, I believe you have bigger issues. Yavin gear, Ziost gear, elite comm gear, ultimate comm gear.
  16. Austin is pretty centrally located
  17. Check out tor-fashion.com - they usually do a great job of telling you if a certain armor set is available and how it's obtained.
  18. Personally, I would not be against PvP enabled for everyone...however, that's not our point. I don't want to force anyone into a gameplay style that they're not comfortable with. We just want to merge PvP with PvP, and if the PvE folks want to stick to their servers, then so be it! They're not affecting my gameplay; what is affecting my gameplay is the lack of population. Put the 3 PvP servers together = instant influx of population. All IMO - again, I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone. I (and the rest) just want it known that we're not happy how it currently stands. If there are plans for the future, NOW IS THE TIME TO LET PEOPLE KNOW!
  19. Honestly, I run into very few griefers on PoT5. Maybe in the past that was different, but the only thing that a lot of PvP Server rollers want is not to be forced into a game style that we don't want. If that is your opinion of the members of the PvP servers, then I personally hope you stay on a PvE server. Correct, and I don't believe any of us are trying to make anyone do what they don't want to do. However, there are those of us who do prefer PvP servers and the extra excitement of not knowing who's around each corner. I wouldn't want anyone to be forced to play in a mode that is against their wishes. BUT, between the 2 (3 if you count Jung Ma) PvP servers, the idea is that we could have a more thriving community...similar to how it used to be...with like-minded individuals.
  20. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=830483 We'd love to have your support!
  21. I thought everyone could use a break from the Outlander / KOTFE posts...but if not, carry on! I've posted this in the server forums, but I thought maybe this movement could get more traction in General Discussion. There is a petition from folks on the US PvP servers who want clarification on their future AND to propose a merger. Disclaimer in regards to Jung Ma: I get that RP-PvP is not the same as pure PvP, but the idea is some sort of merger to help with the population issues. Please support it if you like; if you don't, no worries. To each their own Reddit Link -> Petition Link -> http://www.savepvp.tk Take care!
  22. Probably this, because I had something similar happen on my shadow the other night - I was thinking "Why am I moving so much faster than usual, and why am I at the pylon already???"
