  3. Solo queue for ranked? I may have to pvp again I'm curious how viable tanks will be in these smaller arenas though - being a Shadow tank myself, I stopped playing warzones once our effectiveness was dropped awhile back (note - I still jump in one occasionally, but I wind up being nothing but a node-defender, or follow people around with guard on), so I'm hoping with 4v4, utility roles will have more of a purpose...even in deathmatch.

  5. In Chrome (Version 28.0.1500.95 m), there's still some wonky CSS coming through. http://i.imgur.com/hVJI14X.png In the image above, you can see the notification type and rating dropdowns as well as the button bar, each extending past the container they should be inside (and, was the drop down always the light grey color? I don't remember). Also, In IE10, the grey gradient that fills in the background is missing completely.
  6. Hard to choose just three.. Carrion Spat Bolotaur (or Varactyl, either would be awesome) Brackaset (or one of its cousins, the Falumpaset or Bageraset)
  7. Wrath Reborn has been added to the quiz - Welcome
  8. We had some DNS issues with our host this weekend (they migrated some servers and it took a bit to get the DNS settings squared away), but the issue has been resolved - the quiz is now accessible again.
  9. Security or Research. CZ-198 Application 1. Please tell us a little about yourself. Why do you want to be a part of the Czerka family? I've spent the better part of the last decade searching for my two brothers, hunting them to atone for their actions against my family - the family they destroyed when they attacked our parents, killing our mother and resigning our father to a life of constant medical care on Coruscant. The years haven't been easy, and although I've come close to finding them, they've alluded my grasp each time I've grown near. In my pursuit, I've nearly depleted the resources left in our family vault with travel expenses, requisitioning intelligence from information brokers, equipment upgrades, and repairs. I've managed to find an occasional job to help supplement the cost needed to continue my quest, but the galaxy can be...shall we say "cruel", in how it constantly siphons away anything in excess...and the Hutts haven't made things any easier with their gluttonous tendencies. I want to join Czerka in order to have some security - not in protection for myself, but as a safety net for continued income as I continue my search. Yes, my revenge may be my undoing in the end, but I am persistent and faithful, 100%. I live by my promises, my dedication, and my word is my bond, and any who employ me soon realize that if they want the job done right, they need not look further. 2. At Czerka, we pride ourselves on our accomplishments. Please name three of your accomplishments that you are most proud of. (Please do not include family milestones such as marriages or the birth of your children.) I tend not to catalog milestones in my life as vanity is nothing more than a reflective pool with no depth, but if it's a requirement of employment, the following should suffice: i. During a transport to Coruscant, our vessel came under attack. I managed to lead a small group through their forces, battling our way to the bridge where we fought and defeated a powerful Sith Apprentice. It was my first encounter with the Sith, a group of beings I had thought long dead, but grew to realize they had once again surfaced in the galaxy, so it's now become a side-mission of mine to aid the Republic whenever I can as I continue the search for my brothers. ii. In my travels following the trail of my brothers, I was eventually led to a prison planet where its inhabitants were in constant battle with themselves, as well as both the Republic and Empire. This "Tomb" as it was come to be known as, held various criminals, some who had practiced a meta-science mixed with elements and magic, others simply enemies of the republic that were sentenced to a life of imprisonment rather than an execution. When I arrived on the planet, looking into a lead I had acquired from an informant in House Organa, I learned of an impending attack on the Warden of the prison - having aided him with some "housekeeping" amongst the inmates, I felt obliged to aid in his defense of the control station. Several inmates were killed in this battle, but I felt no remorse for their demise as their condemnation was just. iii. As I've traveled the galaxy, I've made some enemies as well as some friends - friends that I've helped when they've had no other recourse, enemies I've defeated when they've given me none. I take no pride in the destruction of others, of life, but there are times when certain actions are needed in order to help the greater good, to progress an event-part of a chain, to impact the force with a ripple spreading across all life, felt in the deepest corners of shadows. I stand for what will preserve our very existence, not defined by the limits of the Jedi Council (as my parents taught me), but by life itself - this is my goal, my path, my greatest accomplishment after I'm gone. 3. How did you go about achieving the accomplishments above. Would you say you would do "whatever it takes" for success? I do what is needed, when it is needed. It may be a thin line I walk, but my balance has never faltered, neither has my focus on my own, or any other task presented before me. 4. Would you say you have a strong moral compass? Do you think this could get in the way of your job, should you be asked to do something...questionable? The life I've chosen has brought me to many passes, some I've overcome easily, others I've had to struggle with both internally, and physically. The path I take may not be as true as the Jedi way might define, but it is what I've chosen, and one which I believe is just. My morality is defined by the balance I keep, one that sees both the light and the dark as I venture, but also serves a higher purpose of life. Choices I make, doors I open, actions I take - each is towards the goal I seek, and each is with purpose. 5. You are about to enjoy our wide variety of complimentary cocktails and snacks, when you notice that your esteemed colleague's newest experiment is likely to break out of their confines while you are gone. How would you handle this situation? If my task is to preserve this experiment, I'll act accordingly and take whatever steps needed to regain control. If it threatens those that can not defend themselves, I will take action to aid them - it all depends on the terms presented and what my role is in the experiment itself as the expected outcome may involve some sacrifice as an intended course of action.

  12. There are currently 6 guilds listed across 3 different European servers (guild list), and those servers do show in the selection drop down menu (The Progenitor, The Red Eclipse, and Tomb of Freedon Nadd).

  14. Just to follow up on this, I've posted an update regarding the Ideal Guild Quiz here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=6315540#post6315540 The quiz uses a set of filters that will remove certain categories of guilds as potential results, but on some cases what may seem like a filter is instead just a "weight" on a given question that may still count points towards a guild depending on how closely they answered a question is relation to how you answered. The RP question itself is not a filter mainly because there are many guilds which do not enforce RP (the inclusion or exclusion of it), and may or may not have members that engage in that game activity, so even though you may have chosen an answer that specified you have no interest in that aspect, there may have been other answers you gave that were weighted similar to what one of the "RP Guilds" answers were, so they were given as a result. As of my maintenance on the quiz today, it is up to date with a listing of only guilds that have a valid recruitment thread. Also just to add in, the quiz is not the end-all be-all tool for recruitment, it's simply just another tool people can use in order to help them find a potential guild or member. There are various tools and resources such as the server forum recruitment sections that may yield better results for some looking, so that may be a better route for someone to take - the quiz was created simply as another option, and although it's not perfect (and I do apologize immensely for letting it slip so bad to where there were so many invalid listings), many guilds and community members have found it quite useful (in addition to standard approaches to finding guilds). Thank you for the "Kick in the backside" I needed to get things updated, I'm sorry I let it get as bad as it was, and I'll work towards making certain it keep as accurate as possible in the future!!
  15. ** UPDATE ** I've gone through and updated the list of guilds to include on those that have an active recruitment thread, so all links should now be working. As a result of this, I've removed a large number of guilds from display, so if you are a leader of a guild that was previously included in the quiz but no longer show (Guild List), you will need to contact me via PM here, or via the support email address ( support@tortoolbox.com) to have your information updated and added back to the list of guilds displayed. It is my intent to keep the list of guilds included updated and accurate, and I apologize for letting things slip for so long. Thank you to everyone that has continued to support the quiz for these past few years, and in the years to come -------------------- As of my latest cleanup, this has been taken care of. All guilds listed should be accurate as of my maintenance today, and I'll work to make certain I keep things validated and as current as possible through regular communication with guild leaders. The current design of the quiz has each question assigned a weight which will influence the results given at the end, and will not currently support a custom weight system for each user - I do like the suggestion though, and if I wind up redesigning it in a way that would allow for that level of individual customization, I'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind - thanks

  18. And I'll just add this in again... Please create a mobile security key for Windows Phone (7/8) so we don't have to carry around the keychain fob thingy. I've yet to add the security key to my account because it's a PITA to carry it around with me, and with the recent changes to how you've set security, I know I'm going to run into issue at some point (changing IP address, wanting to log into the forums away from home, etc.). I asked this once and you responded with a statement equivalent to "there's not enough money in it for us" (your real answer was about the marketshare with Windows phones, but still equates to the same), but you have to realize that if you're giving people options - saying "For subscribers, there is the option to use the Mobile Security Key..." yet you don't actually provide us one, you're doing nothing but causing more of an inconvenience to people that support you. I'd love nothing more than to be able to use the security key, but for some reason you just won't let me. Does it really cost that much (seriously asking because I don't know) to create a mobile app for Win phones?
  19. Same thing I was going to suggest - limit the number that can be tracked, but increase the total in the log (not sure why the log would cause performance issues, but I can "understand" how tracked quests "could").
  20. Although xp may be ticking up to the supposed 50.99, the only official note on progressing past 50 without purchasing the xpac was noted here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=6049503#edit6049503 "Technically", 50.99 would still be level 50 as the added .99 worth of xp doesn't change anything about your characters level until dinging 51. I'd say those claiming otherwise are simply trolling.
  21. Five 50's standing by, my first will be my Shadow (tank) main.
  22. Replace "Ops" with "Game" and I'll agree (not all subbers participate in endgame operations, simply adding things into the game that doesn't require use of the CM would be fine...and welcome by most I'd imagine).
