Crit? Really? Huh... Also, what about relics? What would everyone suggest?

As the title says, it's been a long time since I have played. Right around before GSF came out, even. As such, I have a few intracacies that I was hoping you might help with. 1.) What Color Crystals do I use? I remember back in the day, I would use Power Crystals, just because I didn't really need the extra health, and it made more self-healing for me. But, we don't seem to have that healing any more. And even then, we have Mastery crystals (It's weird not having strength/willpower/aim/reflex). Should I be using those, or stick with the Endurance Crystals? 2.) How would you suggest I get back into the flow of things? Admittedly, partly because of the super boosted xp, I ended up hitting 70 without really doing all that much... at all... Does anyone have any advice on how I can get going again? 3.) Any general tips? I read Dulfy's guide, and I've been practicing and I feel like I'm getting a handle on it. But, I know more experienced tanks tend to have little tips and tricks they like, and thought I'd ask. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the heads up, KBN. Go ahead and remove the link from your quote, if you don't mind. His post has been removed.

Same guild website?

As I said, if people are willing to compete in that department, I'll list it. As with all rules, screenshots will be required for server firsts. But, if there's only two or three things even listed in the 16M market, I'm not going to.

Indeed it was. My mistake. As for the server first, those are going unlisted for the 16M listings. This is simply due to the fact that the majority of raid guilds operate in the 8M market, leaving there little contest in the 16M, if any.

Alright. going to just split the name into two links. Appreciate the response.

Is there a preferred method of contact for this group?

Is there a website I could link? HM or SM? I would assume HM, but checking regardless.

Naming Policy When creating a character or guild name for Star Wars: The Old Republic, it is encouraged that you select a name that reflects the theme of the game. The guidelines listed below outline the types of names that you can NOT use, and apply to both player or character names, as well as guild names. You may not use any names that violate the General Rules. This includes the use of names that are hateful, defamatory, racist, ethnically offensive, obscene, vulgar, sexually explicit, or any other language that is offensive in nature. Copy-pasted directly from the Rules of Conduct for TOR. Until the guild is able to comply with BioWare's standards, I will not advertise it.

This progression is going unlisted, due to violation of the Rules of Conduct. As for the discussion, I said it once before, I'm saying it again. A joke has gotten out of hand, it's over. This thread is designed around the creative effort in the PVE environment. Rivalries are to be expected, but those need to be contained to in-game, or other avenues. Not this thread. A playful jibe in the congratulations of a kill is acceptable, but this is not. Now, let's get this back on track. Is there a guild website? Also would this be Imperial or Republic?

This discussion is over. There's no room for hateful or rude spouting in any direction, whether it be at Proper Villains, Improper Heroes, or whatever other guilds may or may not be listed. I missed the joke, and it went a little overboard. Let's get back on track, and focus on bettering the server from a PVE aspect, and working to maintain its community somewhere people strive to be.

Care to clarify?

^^That. Also, as she said, if it's a mish-mosh, that's not a real team, even with alternating characters, then I don't think it's an official group. As for server firsts, if it's a consistent team, guilded or not, and they provide screens of the server first, I'll count it. A pug will not. As it is, server firsts are listed to the best of my ability, based on true server firsts. PS: Nova, I'm sure you mean HM, but could you clarify that is what you mean for me?

Alright. That's 3 yays. I'll add it to the list, but before so, I'll need a means of contact for the leaders of the group. As stated, this thread is also used to recruit and advertise. If someone wants to join, they need a way to find them.

So far, the count is 2 yay, 1 nay. Also, do keep in mind you can edit your post, and double posting is generally frowned upon.

I understand, but I'm hesitant to add it to the list. It's primarily setup to list a progression of the guilds. I'll put it to a vote, I suppose. Next 5 posts, give me your opinion, I'll base it off that. Nothing too lengthy or anything, just a quick Yay or Nay.

*grabs Ludott. Stabs in back, then throws under a space bus* You shush! We all hate eachother and you know it! For reals though, did you hear about that PV? Server second HM Council kill. Server second NiM TFB. Server second TFB Title run. There's some mad skillz. But, we have a Server First Ellisish. No other progression guild can claim such.

Added Disciples of the Galaxy to the listing, per PM request. All other listings up to date to the best of my ability. Please notify me if I have missed one

Please read up, people. The matter has been dealt with already.

Techncially, the patch notes only say two. I'd see it as a possible skipping mechanic to do 3 instead. Also, I feel silly now. For some reason, I completely forgot you guys had gotten the server first on them already... Going to go ahead and mark the progress, then.

This change was put in to prevent people attempting to circumvent one of the primary mechanics of the fight, in that they gain noticeable advantages when each one dies. Killing 3 at a time does the exact same thing. I'm going to make a personal judgement call, and consider using that tactic as ignoring of the fight's intended mechanics, and forgo posting the progress, due to the wording of your post. If you can post a video or the like of the kill being fought in its intended guidelines, I would be more than happy to post the progression. In addition, with this coming to light, I'm going to add the judgement call of a kill video being necessary to claim server first of the Cartel Warlord. It's too easy to mask when posting a screenshot.

HM or SM? Is there a guild website I could link to?

I've received multiple screenshots of Plausible Deniability members getting the kill on the 8th. Allow me a moment, and I'll confirm the time of Underworld Alliance's kill, then move you accordingly. Also, as I haven't received any contest towards the timing on the Brontes kill, you will be presently remaining in your position as the most recent clear of HM Fortess. Finally, I would like this thread to remain pleasant, and geared towards the purpose of PVE progression. As I said, it was requested that the screenshots be sent to me personally through private message. In conjunction with that, it doesn't need to be contested. My very first rule states that whoever got the kill first, will be posted first. P.S. Congrats on the server third, PD.

Just to be safe, due to the possibility of getting into a successful side group, or server swapping, could I get confirmation of the achievement from more people on your raid team, with the achievement on the eighth? I would prefer these were taken on the characters that achieved the kill. Alternately, a screenshot of the kill posted on a guild website or the like would work. To prevent clutter, please send all applicable screenshots to me via private message on these forums. A link to the guild website would also be appreciated. Until such a time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to post progression in the standard position of post the others.
