OOOH! Patch download pinged! Let's see what awits......
-
Downloading the patch =/= granted early access.
Phew! I would have been hella miffed if I had watched a loader bar crawling for 5 hours just to go and do stuff I had missed on Balmorra for a week!!
-
My sub ran out the beginning of this month for two days. I am currently downloading early access?

Hi everyone, Black Sunshine is a brand new guild with a HQ , 5% xp boost and 3 vault guild bank.
There are but a handful of members so far and we are looking for new members to grow the guild into something active everyone can benefit from.
We especially welcome brand new and returning players, as well as patient endgamers with a desire to help out new players.
Help and advice with gearing, flashpoints, and levelling in general is the order of the day, and we hope one day soon to be able to support Ops and other group activities.
please message the following characters in game :
millarakk
Teleesha
Chia'Taar
Salani'dir
Everyone is welcome. Except thieves....

you could try winauth
THANKYOU! A solution that does not require me to buy an Apple product for £90!

Work provide the Blackberry, so I have no say over it. I suppose I will need to buy an android phone and get a sim for it. Seems a lot of hassle for the security key, but hey ho. Thanks for your suggestions guys. (and if someone can send me the link to the 99p Android phone WITHOUT entering into a 24 month contract, please send it as I will clear up on ebay!).
May try bluestacks first though, although my laptop doesn't like it.
Cheers all

Oh, thank you for the tip. I never really craft droid parts as I never use the droids, so I did not know. So,there is actually a green droid schematic? Gotta buy that one!
And, the vanilla armor is 2/2/2 as well, yay.
QT-10 droid part/motor/core if I remember correctly. Requires 2 x mythra and 2 x turadium and rev eng gives 100% drop of MK-9 piece (or has done so far for me).

Also just as an addition to the great advice already given above, try to run as many daily & weekly PVP warzone missions as you can so you have 960 warzone commendations at lvl 20. This will allow you to buy 2 implants and an earpiece which will really boost your performance at that level (if you enjoy the warzones, there's no harm in getting them for your companions too!).
If you run enough daily heroics, missions and flashpoints, you should have enough planetary comms while levelling (along with gear drops from heroics and flashpoints) to never need to spend a single credit, which frees up your money to keep up to date with your abilites from your class trainer.
Have a blast!

As far as the social aspect goes, I find the folks in SWTOR for the most part much more friendly and helpful thanm those in WOW. Of course general/fleet chat still has those wise monkeys who respond to every single question with "Google it" but for the main part, it's either useful (selling or forming groups) or funny.
The endgame in SWTOR is richer to me than WoW as I find there is much more to do than simply grinding dailies over and over. I play on a crappy computer, so I struggle to run Operations (raids) due to lag problems. Nevertheless, there's Galactic starfighter, space missions, PVP, dailies, flashpoints, exploration, Datacron hunting, heroics, Planetary conquest, macrobinoculars, Seeker droids......... plenty. And that's BEFORE you get into crafting, gearing up companions, farming commendations for alts etc...
I play on the Red Eclipse, and as the poster above pointed out, while it is a PVE server, the balance does tend to shift from one to the other side regarding imperial/republic.
I now have 4 level 55 imperial toons and do not even remotely have time to do all the things I'd like to do on ONE of them, much less 4!

According to your OP, you already know what the in-game benefit was.
Last I checked, that's an in-game benefit.
I'm not getting into an argument here. I didn't know it was 25% and I didn't know filling up your stronghold gave you the bonus (i thought prestige came from unlocking items). You must be really bored in work for this level of pedantry to kick in.
I am bored in work which is what prompted the post!
Anyway to clarify, I really don't care what other players do if it doesn't affect me. Is that ok ?
-
People team up on the fleet and only then queue for operations through GF. If you haven't formed ops group before, ask on the fleet chat if there is any group forming.
This works. Form the group and THEN queue.
-
Hey OP do you walk around your neighbors house in real life when they are not there? Do you care how they decorate their house? Now if you do yeah thats weird.
So why do people care what other people do inside their strongholds?
I don't. I was asking what the in game benefit was.
-
The point is Strongholds are whatever a player wants it to be. Not what you want it to be Don't take it personal if someone else's Stronghold doesn't suit your taste.
Some will take time and care to thoughtfully place decorations. Others will simply fill them as fast as possible simply to get the conquest bonus.
I thought so, as the poster above pointed out, 25% is a hefty boost!
Oh, and I am not judging what others do, this game is THEIR game, just like it's mine... I was simply stroking my chin and wondering....
-
Does anybody know if there is a way I can get one? I used to own a physical one, but it got lost an age ago...
I live in the UK, so physical key is not for sale here, and my phone is a Blackberry, so there is no app for it.
Does anyone know of a third way to get it please?
-
Oh I forgot:
Please whisper the following characters in chat to join:
Millarrak
Chia'Taar
Salani'Dir
Teleesha

Are currently searching for both experienced helpful, non aggressive and patient types to help out new players and returners, and we also welcome brand new players and hope to provide a place where they can ask for help and advice without being shot down in chat!
We have guild stronghold, bank and XP bonus but hardly any members at all (never actually actively recruited!)

I have 3 strongholds currently. Coruscant, DK and Nar Shaddaa (same as everyone else I guess).
I have visited lots of other player's strongholds and while I was impressed with some of them where they have obviously spent a great deal of time and money on theirs, the majority I have seen look like fleamarkets where things are simply thrown around on whatever hook will have them!
I understand that the bonus points for prestige influence the Galactic Conquest aspect (I have yet to raise enough cash for my guild ship) , but does this haphazard "anywhere will do, I don't care if it looks rubbish" method have a benefit in-game?
I personally have so far been saving up my stuff, and only have 2 rooms in DK utilised, one is my entrance with storage, cargo bay, GB and mailbox and the other room is the "war room", a sparse, functional space with a large lounge and seats festooned with imperial banners where my Sith Sorceror can plan the expansion of her chunk of the Empire!
Nar Shaddaa is going to be the "fun " place where my bounty hunter lives and Coruscant will be a wee bit more "Peace Garden" for my Sage.
Am I completely missing the point of what Strongholds are for here?

I used Dr. Lokin all the way to 55. Sniper has good defense and Dr. Lokin just takes a back seat and heals any damage you take. Really easy combo to play through with. I also feel that Lokin is the strongest Healer companion. I know they are most likely all equal, but for some reason he just seems better :\
I also used Lokin until I dinged 55, by which time I had half-decent gear for the others. If I wanna burn em down quick, I use Ensign Temple, but I usually flit between Kalyio and scorpio now.

Run black talon and athiss again and again. pick up scavenging and scavenge every droid you kill.
Sell all the loot that drops. save up all the metals you scavenge and put them on the GTN when you get large amounts.
You also get light/dark points too.

I can't believe people come on forums to cry in public. discontinue this crap. Aren't you embarrassed?

For competition #2 I would like to introduce Millarakk.
Born from a sponge-like Zabrak kinder egg, she began her life as a child's toy before colouring black markings all over herself with felt pen and sticking crazy little horns on her head.
Deciding on a life of doing things for incredibly lazy people who want to spend their entire existence simply stood in one spot asking people to defeat 12 enemies, collect 4 power cells and free 6 republic dancing Wompas, she found herself on the luxury resort of hutta , schmoozing with freaks in the poison pit cantina.
Since meeting an over-enthusiastic teenage nerd with a fetish for data and taking electronics to bits, she has blasted, danced, gambled, scavenged and smart-alec commented her way around the galaxy meeting new friends and now enjoys a richly rewarding life where she repeatedly goes to the same place to talk to the same people to do the exact same thing every single day!
Long live the Empire, and the republic, and the hutts, the voss, the Cartel, the Black Sun and really anyone at all that will provide her a bit of pocket money to buy guns, bikinis and little tiny animals that pointlessly follow her around.
By the way, she's on Red Eclipse server, and is often seen in fleet chat discussing underwear and offering people what's left of her sausage roll when she's full.

Sooooo...... is there anywhere I can get hold of higher rated crystals than +41 hawkeyes, indestructibles etc?
I have an artificer, but I can't find any schems that are any better.
I probably am simply overlooking something very obvious, but thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance.

There is a lot to cover here. Pardon me while I type...
EDIT:
Alright, first things first: You decided to be a Guardian DPS.* That’s great!* You need to make sure that you have your skill point assigned in a logical way in your skill tree.* I suggest using one of the builds described on Dulfy.net, here:
http://dulfy.net/2014/01/30/swtor-vigilance-and-focus-guardian-dps-class-guide/
*Once you have chosen a “DPS Spec” and assigned points in your skill tree, you need to get gear appropriate for your class and role.* The Guardian’s primary stat (as in, the most important thing to have on their gear) is Strength.* It increases your damage.* DPS characters also need Power, Crit, Surge, and Accuracy, with Power being the most important.*
*With those 100 Planetary Commendations, you need to go to the Makeb Commendation Vendor on the Republic Fleet and purchase Armorings that have more Strength than Endurance, and Mods and Enhancements that have Power, Crit, Surge, and Accuracy.* I would say at a low level that Power and Surge are probably the only ones you need worry about.* Crit really isn’t that important when you first start gearing.* I would say you should practically ignore Accuracy at this point.
*You should insert those Armorings, Mods, and Enhancements into your gear.* At this point, you should have “DPS gear.”
*Augments are like items that you can add to your equipment that give them a little stat boost, but they take an extra slot on your equipment, and you have to pay to add that slot.* You’ll need a MK-9 Augmentation Kit (I believe that’s the name) from the GTN, and use one of the Crafting Tables in the Crew Skills section of the Fleet to allow you to use that Kit to add a Level 9 slot to your equipment.** Then you can insert an Augment up to rank 9 into that slot.* Again, you will want to focus on Strength, Power, Surge, and Crit.* Augments are created by players with the Armormech skill, or purchasable on the GTN.
This game has many of the great single player aspects of KOTOR, but as an MMO it has to deal with the content challenges associated with having no ending. This means that the gameplay will change as you reach level 55, or "endgame." You will encounter content that is designed to be repeated, and the goal of your gameplay becomes to obtain gear which will give your character enough power to access the next level of content. Flashpoints and other multiplayer things can be very fun, but unfortunately it seems that some SWTOR players are short on patience and the ability to teach, which accounts for your poor experience. Once you have learned what kind of gear your character needs, you will know what to look out for in the future, and you will be able to keep your character "geared" such that you can make a helpful contribution to completing group content or it will be considerably easier for you to complete solo content like that on Makeb or Oricon.
Just want to applaud this post. Bravo on patiently explaining to the original poster.

No you guys freaked that I don't have a positive opinion.
You activate the Bat Signal and called in the guard. Carry out plan Defend Formation Blue Delta.
Panic and oppress any opinion that is not part of the SWTOR lovefest.
It's kind of funny actually. You really think my belief....me just one person, sharing a single opinion, can bring down and be the demise of this game? Had no idea it was so fragile.
I don't like ketchup , so I never put it on my food. I have to watch others happily enjoying their ketchup. Wish there was a forum I could go on to post about the downfall of food............
