Since 16 man S&V requires rakata gear pretty much I don't think it can be used as a measure of how good a guild is at PvE

Because I have fragile self-esteem I'd like to point out the only boss in pve Midian have beat us to was Nightmare EC Keph. All other content (TFB HM, first 3 Nim EC bosses, all of S&V HM) we downed first

We don't, too lazy to upload ours

Oi Mosus, we want our guild name back!

Not quite sure what you're saying but we do need to update our OP yeah, would have been done already if our GM's computer hadn't exploded

I've been getting the giggle for first proc and then the old grapple for 2nd and 3rd. Didn't notice until tonight (might have been a maintenance thing) but means TA tracking is the same as always

Easier to have fun with the best gear possible

Yeah, gear stats are really odd sadly. Mostly high endurance, and the flashpoint drops are all crit heavy. I've just been running my old mostly bis dreadguard and haven't had any problems with S&V HM so far, hopefully some mathematician will enlighten us on what values of each stat we need. I've been hearing full power/alacrity from some sources so will be interesting to see what comes of it.

You can't lose power for alacrity Gear always has a trade off between power/crit and surge/alacrity, so whatever you do you cannot lose power by taking more alacrity.

Sounds like we're leaning towards the Harbinger but nothing's final, will be working out with guildies what works best for all of us. Sticking with the rest of MDN is a major factor for us, hopefully we can keep most of us together.

From memory you get to keep 16, but can't create more characters until you delete below 12.

We're going to test out the NA servers before we make any final decision but looking quite closely at upcoming games now

In case you guys haven't seen it already, apparently there will be an update next week so we'll see what comes of it: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=534412&highlight=Consolidated+Post%3A+APAC%2FOceanic+Server+Concerns&page=309

I wonder if Bioware will move this to guild recruitment

We've had issues with Beyond Redemption griefing us earlier today, so apologies in advance if we kill you. As long as people stay well back should be fine (think we're also recording it so will put it up if we drop it), but not as relaxed about it as we would be generally.

It's called waiting for PvP pops

I'm just happy they tried! Seriously though, we don't encourage griefing on bosses unless we've been griefed by the guild doing it before. If it happens again just whisper an officer and we'll get them to stop, assuming you guys haven't already been wiped by him

One of our mercs tried to pvp? I'm so proud

Well ideally no one will turn up so we can drop Dreadtooth I don't think so though

Do flashpoints, every one is a full level for me

Join Nightmare Council and have our 20-30 people online at the same time In all seriousness, joining a big guild definitely helps, the only time we notice the low pop is when pugging for raiding fill ins and the some of us that do pvp. While it ain't great, certainly not worth rerolling.

Too late Jump, too late

Tbh I don't think any of our top players really care about dread guard drops or essences, all we're really concerned about is the necklace On the topic of guilds involved, my instinct would be that rolls on the necklace reflect numbers contributed. For instance, if we supply half the people (which we have so far), and midian supplies the other bar 1 (let's say from X) it would be unfair for X to get the same chance as Midian and NC who contributed far more. This is just my feeling about it, suspect Konx and the other GMs will work it out

Not entirely sure yet, probably Monday's so it doesn't interfere with our raid groups (Wednesday/Thursday and Sunday). That said, I think we're going to have to be quite flexible since we need quite a few people. Friday is also an option but we're not as keen on it as a lot of us aren't online. Loot etc will also have to be worked out.

If all of our raid teams turned up we'd have 24 people, but since we don't expect that to happen we're looking to team up for around about the last 8 spots. We rather hurriedly remade our G1 after we realized ec nim was getting nerfed soon (want to beat it before expansion) so once we do that (probably this week) we'll get started on dreadtooth.
