You can be invited, but you have to be close enough to target the person before using /ginvite.

It's so great seeing all the new faces in the guild! Tonight, we had rocked two simultaneous Karagga's Palace Group Finders, and a third group again right after. My tanking was fantastic if I do say so, myself. So awesome!!

I'm in!

We would love to have you come by and check us out! We're pretty active, even considering the summer slump.

We are currently recruiting players (age 18+) for all classes and all skill levels for either or both factions on the Shadowlands server. No jerks or Gungans need apply. Benefits to HFC | SWtOR: Dedicated Mumble server, +10% EXP and Rep, Guild bank, Guild Flagship with amenities (Banks, GTN, Mod station, Appearance station, Slot machine), and just really awesome people. Ops: [all start times are Eastern] 2 regular weekly ops open to any who sign up [usual start time is 8PM E] 2 weekly progression runs 1 planned social night for Conquest points; just about any level is welcome, depending on the planet we go to To apply, create a forum account and you will automatically be prompted to apply for an existing HFC team: Hammerfist Clan. The Application process is so we can get to know each other to make sure that we're the right guild for you. Your application will have a series of questions that will show up on your profile. After that, there will be a 30 day probationary period while you play, get your toons guilded, and get to know our members. If there are no serious concerns after 30 days, you will be automatically upgraded to full member on our website as well as within the guild. We have a very active and social guild, with 20+ people on in a given evening, especially on Ops nights. We are dual faction, and in order to maximize Conquest points, we have a biweekly alternating schedule for Ops and Flashpoints to focus on gaining CPs for that faction that week. There are several people in the guild who only game on one faction or the other, so there is almost always someone on, but most of the activity will be focused on the faction of the week. We do mostly PvE content as a team, though there are a few members who regularly queue for PvP or GSF. The social event is geared so that players at all levels can participate, not just max level toons. Guildies often group up when leveling and sometimes form static leveling groups to make the experience more fun. During ops runs, no one gets priority in terms of loot or signups and there is no difference between the newest members and the Officers when it comes to loot rolls; it’s about having fun, not hoovering all the loots. The Hammerfist Clan is a metaguild gaming community founded in 2001. We have teams in several different MMOs, including SWtOR, WoW, The Secret World, Rift, ArcheAge, and a few others. The SwtOR team is a prelaunch team and has always been on The Shadowlands server. We have a long and proud history on the Server and have run Events open to anyone interested in joining us, from PuG Ops to Fleet +10 Datacron runs. The wonderful thing about HFC is that we will have a team established in just about any new MMO that comes out. I, personally, will never have to wonder where I’m going to find a guild with people I like to play with in any new MMO I decide to play, because HFC will be there. We are an 18+ guild, with the average age of our members falling somewhere between 30 and 50. Conversations on politics and religion on the forums, in guild chat, and/or Mumble are strongly discouraged, but just about everything else is fair game. Real life testimonials from a few of our members: “The genius of HFC is that the people ‘in charge’ allow and encourage the guild to evolve. Peeps move from game to game and are welcomed back; their RL selves change, succeed, and fail; it's fluid, it's organic, it's awesome.” – Switch “The Officer Corps considers its primary job to be to help create a fun environment where our Members (and Officers!) can game the way they want to with friends. We encourage friendships and participating, but everything is voluntary. Before decisions or changes are made the Officers always try and get input from members interested in giving an opinion, and the most frequent 'disputes' that have to be settled are Members wanting to pass on loot in case someone else in the Operation needs it more. If you want to be part of an awesome Guild that is part of a larger community and have fun with friends, then check HFC out.” – Dragon, SWtOR team lead/guildmaster “I was looking for a new kinship on LOTRO, my original kin had evaporated the kin I joined after that was going Hardcore. I had run a few PUGs with Hammerfist, and the rest, as they say is history. That was over 6 years ago…I would never consider leaving. (Besides they would just hunt me down and haul my sorry *** back here.) Even the threat of the abduction aside, the folks that we seem to attract here are by far the nicest bunch of lunatics I have run across in my 20+ years of traveling cyberspace.” – Breygon, resident curmudgeon “One of my awesome and closest friends of 4 years brought me into this game. I knew nothing about MMO's (I was a FPS player) and nothing about Swtor at the time. She introduced me to Swtor and HFC and I have been playing ever since. Since then I have met and developed solid friendships with some of the most awesome people I have ever met. I am proud to call my friends here at HFC my extended family.” – Serenity, SWtOR Progression Ops Officer “I stay because there isn't the "cool guys club" aka the raid team. In fact it's easy to get involved with the raid teams and have fun. Then there's the fact that if you ask for assistance, people actually go out of their way and help you out.” – Ferg “Nimmiel is my real life brother. So I came to be with family and the rest of you became my family too!” – Forty, Read more “About Us” here: About Us Join and apply here: Hammerfist Clan May the Force Be With You! ~James the Lass HFC | SWtOR Recruitment Officer

I'm so glad we've started running ToS as part of our general guild Ops rotation. Underlurker is still a little pain the rear end, but I'm looking forward to more than our prog team getting to fight Revan.

Underlurker, bah. Buttface is more accurate. One of our progression groups got it, then nada the next round. At least we're keeping our cool. And I, for one, am looking forward to smashing him. We're always on the lookout for more members. We know sometimes RL comes first, and sometimes that means fewer people to run Ops. We're not hardcore, but we do like having full groups to run regular Ops. New players, old players, levels 1-60 are all welcome here.

Hammerfist Guild is best Guild. I seriously have not has as much fun with a guild as when I am in Mumble with these yahoos. 4 months in the guild and I can already tell that I'm HFC4Lyfe, yo.

I've just finished the thread, and now there's brain matter on my wall. I'm a 100% MMO beginner, and I've found that playing with the keyboard and mouse is a bit taxing; I feel like I need 67 fingers. I really want to give the controller thing a try. What I really want to know is which is more effective, the Xbox 360 controller or the PS3 controller? Or is it more of a preference thing? Edit: I decided to go with the PS3 controller and Xpadder. So far, it's working great! Now to tweak Peep's profiles. Thanks so much, Peeps, for putting all your time into this. The only think I'm having trouble tweaking is the camera movements. I'm currently browsing the tutorial on Xpadder to find out how to set the right stick to have inverted X axis controls, but I'm having trouble assigning the "click and move" to the direction on the pad. I'll keep looking, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd love the help. Edit#2: Figured out how to assign the click and move. Now I'm not going to get any sleep tonight.
