Bumping this. Death Mark is currently competing with Phoenix for the top spot on Voss and we're looking for extra bodies to help continue the war effort. Some updates: We've merged with Miramar and we now claim to have the best GSF guild on the server We've had Exiled Then Banished's alts join our guild, giving us several Nightmare DF/DP experienced raiders We're actively recruiting experienced PvPers in order to strengthen our PvP We are confident that we are going to contend for Voss and beyond despite being a smaller guild. If you want to be one of the first people on the server to receive a "Conquerer of..." title, join Death Mark. If you're in a small guild of dedicated players and want to consider a merge with like minded players, shoot me a message in game.

Death Mark is a fairly small guild of pretty dedicated players and we're looking to expand, especially with the Galactic Strongholds Expansion on the horizon. We're about playing the game well and having fun while we do it without taking ourselves too seriously. We will be buying the guildship at launch (currently have more than 60 mil in guild bank) and upgrading it as much as possible. Since we're pretty small, we need more bodies to rock the conquest stuff. We're very active players, so we always have folks on, but to be successful at the conquest stuff, we want more people. Here's some deets about us: We have a main raid team that's done all the HM content and is working through Nightmare now. We almost always need subs and would like to start doing 16 man guild raids by adding more folks (we all also all have a ridiculous number of alts, so if you want to start a new team, we have the alts to help you get it going) We have a 4 tab guild bank. All the tabs are named really funny things We have a Mumble server and have some really funny, depraved conversations We have the credits ready to get a guild ship immediately and we'll be getting it as soon as its available We do some PvP, but not a whole lot (more as just a thing to do to have fun), so if you're all about PvP, I would love you to join but you might have more fun somewhere else If you're a guildmaster of another small guild on the Pub side and would be interested in discussing a merger, whisper any of my toons in my signature and we'll discuss it. If you just think we're super awesome, shoot myself a whisper or do a /who Death Mark and join up.

The only one I agree with is Ashara. My darkside Sorc made leveling her affection a pain... until I discovered the Belsavis dailies. There's an old guide here that still works: http://darthmera.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/the-female-sith-inquisitors-guide-to-ashara-zavros/

My absolute favorite thing is wiping on a boss for a few weeks and then finally killing him. The feeling of downing a new boss for the first time is great. Other than that, my guild is a big one. Its been my experience that finding a good group makes or breaks MMOs for me and I have a solid guild of close knit players. Hard to beat that. Also, I really like the mechanics for the Kinetic Shadow. If I didn't, I think I wouldn't have made it this long.

QFT. There were so many issues after the patch it wasn't even funny. We were trying to raid Nightmare DF and we had players constantly getting kicked, being unable to send/receive group invites, guildmates not appearing in the guild, chat lag, etc. Unless they can iron out those issues, they shouldn't put this change in. Maybe some other servers weren't affected, but Shadowlands made it hard to want to log on to play.

My team runs two shadow tanks and we're fine here. He does hit like a truck, but its not the end of the world. That's why the devs created cooldowns. You should have one ready to go when you take Calphayus and you should pop it. When you're actually inside the portals, you won't need them, so use them here.

My sentinel, Ryaffil can craft the 34 Might Hilt.

Just join a guild. MMOs are meant to be social. Joining a guild and making friends in game is a huge part of how you get to be successful in MMOs. We literally just took a new guildie through the Terror to get him his 1 time quest done last night.

Getting to valor 60 isn't an achievement. You can get to valor 60 on accident just by playing the game. I am glad they put this in and I have 3 battlemaster+ toons, one of which has the battlemaster set. Its finally a good, bound to legacy, Jedi/Sith friendly set with a hood down. Seriously, you could give everyone free Twi'lek slave girls until the cows come home and someone would complain that they earned their Twi'lek slave girl by playing through Korriban on their Warrior...

I'd invite you bro but quite frankly, I dunno how to type that o with a line through it.

You're in, but it says you don't exist when I try to friend you. Who else wants to join the party? We got beer... the good kind.

Sup homeskillets. I'm gonna tell y'all about Death Mark and if you think we're your dudes, go ahead and whisper one of us and we'll hook you up with all of our awesome. We are Death Mark. We're a small guild pub side but we have an semi-active imp side too. We're dont wanna get too big but wanna add some good new players. We don't like drama and if you do, you need to bounce outta here. We're hilarious in mumble if you have a sick sense of humor. If you don't laugh at jokes about how the TFB is actually the Sage healer's mom (and how we've all done things to her...), you probably won't wanna play with us anyway. We're all solid players who play the game like champs but we're chill and don't take things too seriously. We just like playin' the game and having fun. So what can Death Mark do for you?! Well, aside from our totally sweet and ****** name, here's the menu, jabronis. You like ops? We got ops. We do progression Sundays and Wednesdays. Spots are full right now but we almost always have a spot for backups and wanna fill out a 16 man team/2nd 8 man team. Pretty much everyone in the guild has an alt of like every class and we can always gear up new guildies if you're cool to chill with. Quit puggin' and start kickin butt. You like trolling? We got trolling! We troll our guildies by naming our alts after Mintas and grinding them to 55 (we have Mintass, Defnotmintas, Mintasstic, Harazzmint, Iammintas, and a ton that will honestly get me banned if I post it. Dunno how they got past the name check, seriously). Then we troll pugs by pulling in one guy not named Mint. We hop onto random servers, make lowbie toons named IamTacoBoy and then troll their newbies. Wat? You like GSF? We got GSF. We got a mothasmurfin'' ACE! We got the only Grease Monkey Lizard in the world. His name is Mintas and he'll carry you through all the GSF you want. You like PvP? Well, we kinda got PvP. We're hot n' cold with it. If that's your thing, maybe go somewhere else. If you're PvP-Casual then come pew pew with us. Most of the PvP is imp side. We got a totally sweet mumble. Its a mumble so honestly its like everyone else's mumble who has mumble. The diff is we have us in it. If you've ever wondered what ghost pepper does to your bowels, hop in our mumble. You like events? We got sweet events! We got Tasty Tuesdays where we're always cookin up something sweet for the sake of fun like EC Nightmare runs and 10 Stack DT kills and trollin' flagged imps and doin whatever we feel like. You like guild banks? We got like 15 mil in the bank and 3 tabs with completely screwed up names and lots of stuff. We are gonna get a maxed out capital ship when it comes out. Not that we need to save money. Mintas has like 250 mil and he's gonna bankroll us to awesome. tl:dr. stop bein' a jabroni and get in my guild. I know you're like "Holy cow crap, that sounds awesome. How do I join this awesome guild?" Just send us a whisper. No application, no background check, no drug test, no paperwork or anything required. Whisper these bros on the Pub side for an inviteski and we'll get crackin': Ryaffil (that's me) Mintas Odinsul Ellendra Sarene Asheena/Shana Or just do a /who Death Mark. Word to your moms.

Telekinetic Throw should be the animation for Project Storm instead of TK Throw.

I would like a straight up Deathmatch style game. Teams have X amount of lives and the team with the last man standing wins. Dodge(hutt)ball. Grab huttballs and throw them at the other team. Getting hit with a huttball kills you. Hit a dead teammate to battle rez. Operations Chief inspired warzone. One team has to infiltrate while the other has to try to catch them. Defenders can set off an alarm to cause some extra problems for the attackers. Attackers have to reach a certain point by the end of the timer. GSF/Warzone Hybrid. Start in a GSF match. Each team has certain objectives they have to accomplish which then leads to a warzone. For example, Republic fighters have to take out shield generators on a space station. Once the generators are down, they have to fly into the hangar bay (starting the WZ component) and complete an objective. I think the maps from Warhammer Age of Reckoning were good. Reskin them in a Star Wars environment an that'd be good.

I also love this game. I played at launch and quit playing before my six month subscription ran out because it was bad at launch. If the game as it currently is came out at launch, I strongly believe this game would have done so much better. I came back after free to play happened to see how the game was and I haven't even thought about quitting once. Once upon a time you hit level 50 and then there wasn't anything to do. Now I rarely get everything done that I want to do each week. Huge turnaround. I think what it boils down to is that people who like the game are too busy playing to game to sit around complaining on the forums. There's constructive feedback and them there's the usual MMO doom and gloom. This is a good game that A lot of us have had a lot of fun playing and EA did a great job keeping the game afloat and turning it around.

And you're sure you used the one that wasn't bound? I've done this with similar items in the past and haven't had this happen.

I will attack you if you are flagged because of the following reasons: 1. You are flagged because you wanted to be flagged and want a fight. Challenge accepted. 2. You jumped a Republic player and are now flagged. Sorry, we are at war and you should have thought of your actions before you did them. 3. You accidentally flagged yourself. Sorry, but you have to learn somehow. 4. You're flagged in group doing a world boss or something and I like causing mayhem. All pvp in this game is consented. If you accidentally flag, there are enough quick travel chances to where you can travel and let the flag fall off. If you don't want to pvp, don't flag. You take no gear damage from a pvp death so there's no issue. And yes, I've gotten ganked before and I have bitten off more than I could chew with roaming flagged people as well. It's part of the game and I accept the consequences of my mistakes and failures and don't blame other players for beating me.

I would love something like this. Any kind of potential recruiting tool is something I am in favor of. I'm in a smaller guild that mostly keeps to itself and doesn't get involved in the forum trackers and I imagine there are lots of folks like that as well. Being able to see what your server is up to with no ambiguity would be really nice. Besides, anyone who has run a guild knows how lacking the guild features are in this game. Everyone knows that the best way to keep players in an MMO is to build communities and guilds are central to keeping people invested in the game. We need more attention paid to making guilding up and having good features that support community building in game by the developers.

The developers should leave the old content alone. I don't want to see EC bumped to 55 because they will do that and then hold off on releasing a new operation. This operation has now been out for a long time an some of us have done it to death. The only thing I would like changed is for them to remove all of the trash, because the best thing about the new operations is the fact that there's almost no trash. I think this occupies the "Hey, we're all bored and all our lockouts are used. Lets do an EC Nightmare run" niche and I think it should stay that way.

This fight drops 72 gear. It is easier than every HM fight in S&V and TFB hard modes. This fight is ridiculously easy and is a gift of underworld gear. If you are struggling in lower than 69s, then you are under geared and need to gear up. This should not be nerfed. The mechanics are easy. You just need experience.

I would like Nightmare mode FPs even if they had lockouts. I don't know how to work out gear, but honestly even if they just dropped vanity gear I'd be ok with it. I would like: Red Reaper. This is one of my favorite flashpoints. The fact that there's no HM is ridiculous. Directive 7. Mentor in Nightmare would be awesome. False Emperor. The final fight is epic and needs to be made relevant again. Lost Island. Bring this one back!

I think it was setting up the reveal of the even bigger bad... The emperor. The dread masters probably were probably dominated by the emperor who manipulated them to do his bidding. The whole "let's wipe out the galaxy so there can be peace" sounds exactly like the emperors plans. I think when calphayus approached, it was that the emperors control over him was released.

I kite him in towards the middle so less movement is required to get to pylons. Don't use things like force speed, since it usually makes him stop and zap you and it seems to lead to missed pylons. Make sure your camera zoom out goes to 100% and it's easy to identify incoming pylons. Also, once you've identified a pylon just move to it; you don't need to predict where it will go because they move very slowly and you have time to position him.

A trick we used is that me and the second tank staggered our cool downs. With two shadows, I would hit battle readiness and then he would hit it when mine wore off. When his wore off, I would hit deflection and so on including adrenals. This basically left one of us with a cool down up at all times so healers could focus on one tank at a time. That seemed to help a lot.

Slam should never get off because it can be interrupted. We assigned 1 tank and a watchman sentinel on one and then the rest of the raid on the other and you can stop slams from happening that way.
