  1. a server merge is looooooong overdue, most people (myself included) jumped ship to TRE back when transfers were made 90CC a while back. well worth the money imo, a mmo without anyone to group with is. .
  2. Saw the thread title, got excited, realised the date, felt sad.
  3. I'm thinking of transefing to TRE tomorrow aswell, as a GSF pilot waiting litrally hours for a pop in primetime and forget it outside of 6pm-11pm GMT is somewhat frustrating to say the least. Weird though as i have some strange kind of loyalty to TOFN as i've played here for litrally years.. since the forced merger a while back, but as it's dead why am i paying £8.99 a month to wait hours for a gsf pop when they are probably a lot more often on TRE.. hmm

  6. Made me chuckle when I read this short story, Kern is the online/game/forum name that I've gone by for the past20+ years... back from the days of playing my dads old BBC and Amiga 500 computers right upto present day in swtor. Here's a screenshot of my legacy screen to prove my character names: http://i.imgur.com/b4SBULr.jpg I used to play another big fantasy mmo (no not that one,,, but another big one set around the middle of the earth..) and there was a NPC added with the name Kern thus annoyingly preventing me from using my chosen character name (had a similar name, small change or characters) I sincerely hope Bioware dosen't force me to rename my much played/loved characters name (been playing since day one of release by the way) on just a name being plucked from thin air by a dev as they create new content, that would be most frustrating and annoying damaging the attachment that I have with my characters. It's not a silly name like 'han soooolo' or any such rule bending name here, this silly as it may sound to some, It means something to me, I have a personal connection to it, and I really hope they don't change it or make the NPC with it a moronic character that people associate me with 'oh look that guy copied his name off the court jester... pfftt idiot...' Nooo! i got here first! Sorry for my little rant, I realise that as new content is developed that they have to give the NPCs a name and inevitably being a Massively Multiplayer online game that there is a high likely hood of someone at some point getting the same name as a plot character. Great story by the way.
  7. Background:- I've been pvping on my carnage marauder for good a long while now, whilst it is great fun to push out big numbers in damage it is very often frustrating to die in a matter of seconds as a pure dps class with limited survivability waiting for the force filed to come down to get back into the action in a huttball or hypergate or voidstar etc hence why I've recently leveled up my tank guardian for the purpose of pvping, I've had great fun getting into the thick of it, taunting everyone and taking a shed load of damage whilst dishing some out, albeit very small amounts in comparison to my mara, I completely get that it should be a lot lower as a compromise to surviving a beating that my mara wouldn't have a hope in hell of surviving. I also play a sorc healer and a Commando healer quite extensively so I completely understand the NEED to gear a tank in mitigation gear such as defense/absorb augments instead of raw hit-points as they... nearly wrote a whole explanation as to why mitigation is better than raw health which I think is unnecessary here.. I've read up on these forums quite a bit on gearing my guard recently which has answered a few of my questions such as: Is it better to stack defence or absorb stats? - much to my suprise people are saying stack fortitude (makes sense when people explain) many player Vs player attacks ignore defence/shield so stacking avoidance is pointless in favour of raw health (much better explanations excist) this is much to my suprise after playing a tank in another big mmo seeing 'bloked' 'parried' etc was much more desirable than soaking up some damage. Seondary to that people are saying Defence is a better stat for a guard than shield, why would that be please? Question:- Best relic to use as a tank? I've got a complete set of Orboran gear now bar one relic as I can't decide which is best to use either, Fortunate Redoubt(think this one is a cert) so, it's between reactive warding or shield amplifiation, what does the community thinks is the best please? also is the shield granted by the reatctive warding proc seperate to the normal guardian shield? in effect giving the player two shileds or is it tied into the standard shiled (thinking of equipping this to my marauder also as an extra survivability tool, only if it's a seperate shield granted by the relic) Secondary Question :- I'm using a shield generator whilst in Soresu stance (tank), I was thinking of grinding out a second set of gear for if I feel like switching to shien stance(dps) which got me thinking if a tech generator is really any better than my shiled generator, as my shield generator gives x% shiled chance is there any benefit to equipping a tech generator instead, i.e. do the stat increases gained by a tech generator outweigh the x% shiled chane gained with the shield gen? seems at a glance without any number crunching to me that a shield gen is a better item to use even as a dps player. - thoughts please. Thanks in advance for any constructive replies, regards, Steve.
  8. Thanks for the reply, sadly it is as i thought. I will need to grind out a second set of partisan gear purely for the shell then. Didn't know about that update in October, just looked it up on dulfy, great news indeed, I look forward to it. http://dulfy.net/2013/07/16/swtor-summer-of-swtor-update/#disqus_thread
  9. Hi PvP community, I would like to ask your advice about changing mods into other pieces of gear please. On my trooper I really like the look of a set of old gear that i have put the partisan then the conqueror mods into it upgrading the stats and keeping the appearance I personally like, having recently completed the full conqueror set on this character I have moved onto 'gearing up' my marauder, I personally really like the look of the partisan set and would like to keep it placing conqueror mods into it purely for aesthetic reasons just as I did with my trooper, however a problem arises thus forth: I need to trade in my partisan piece to get the conqueror piece Is there anyway to keep the partisan piece so that i can place the conq mods into it, just for looks? I have tried placing the armoring mod into a 'throw away' piece of gear and then tried trading it in to the npc to see if that worked, unfortunately it didn't. Has anyone got any ideas as to solve this conundrum? Or will I need to buy a complete partisan set again once I have conqueror gear just to put the mods into, seems like an awful waste of Comms if that is the only way. Thanks in advance for replies, Regards, Steve.
