  1. My guild is exploring merging into another active, primarily Republic focused guild (having Empire sister guild is fine). We are a small, active guild with nightly PVP'ers and a few HM (almost NiM) raid teams. You can read about our guild and our principles here: http://www.aethereal.club/ Why are we looking to merge? Quite frankly, myself and other longtime Officers just don't have the time to dedicate to recruit against the churn that occurs in SWTOR, especially on the HM/NiM raiding front. Our standards are and have always been quite high for guild membership. Not in terms of player ability, but in terms of social fit. We want to ensure that our more casual base has opportunities to run more casual content consistently while still being social in GC and/or VOIP. If we pursue this, we're looking for a guild that can accommodate our mix of players (PVP/PVE, casual and hardcore, theorycrafters, etc) and is not looking to break up our raid teams or schedules (one is full, others have spots open and we can help gear and guide anyone). This may sound silly, but major preference giving to any guild that uses Discord or plans to move to it for VOIP. Aside from SWTOR, we play other games together and this has proven to be a superior communication program at the PC and on the go. If you're interested and think we're a match, send me a private message on our website or show off your Discord-yness and send me a private message there.
  2. With the instancing technology already in the game, there is no real reason to have more than one server for US/APAC and one for EU. Yes, I know from a PVP standpoint this eliminates open world PVP as people would have to flag themselves, but most PVP happens in warzones anyway. They'd have to figure out how to get guilds, houses, and ships transferred but having one mega server would take care of any population issues.
  3. As a longtime former EA employee, I can confirm this. Believe me, I'm not optimistic that this is even on their list or they'll ever do this. I just want to call it out to them that older MMOs are continuing to evolve technically and deliver MMO content to their fans, regardless of player base size. In this game, you have an amazing IP that is being squandered, yet again (Sony did it first). Without this IP this game would definitely be shut down by EA at this point as I am fairly confident the appeal wouldn't be there for us unless it was Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Even then, those are more niche fan bases and don't have the mass appeal of Star Wars. Regarding Rift specifically, I think feature-wise it was an amazing game and still is today. Sadly, I can't get into it. I just don't care about the story, the world, or my characters as a result. As a game to just pop in and do some raiding or super fun dungeons, it's amazing. But it just doesn't have that "stickiness".
  4. Not really excessive at all. Two tank sets, one for PVP and one for PVE. Same with DPS. All are completely optimized. I do a mixture of all content type in the game and don't want to run to my cargo by constantly, I'd rather be ready for whatever I or my group feels like doing at the moment. Creating another Shadow just for the purpose of slotting him as a specific spec is just...dumb. I say this as someone who has a guildie who does this (he actually has a character for each spec in the game, a bit "excessive"). I'd rather work one character. It's bad enough we can't switch AC's like we can AC specs, resulting in my having 8 characters just on the Republic side. But that's a different topic all together... While this feature may be low on their list, and we don't know - it would be great if they can communicate their plans for the year and/or for them to comment on threads like these so we, the community, know where they stand on things.
  5. Believe me, I'm not brainwashed. I just know how to speak Bioware's language at this point. They're not going to do any enhancements or features to this game unless it is directly driving revenue in some way. Building this feature as a nice convenience feature for free is never going to happen. Therefore, just drive it the same way they did the wardrobe feature. Done and done.
  6. Read about it here: http://www.trionworlds.com/rift/en/2016/02/03/5-years-of-rift-new-producers-letter-from-archonix/ I can't help but think, "*** Bioware!". A game slightly older than SWTOR and it continues to evolve content-wise, and now tech-wise. Yeah, I know all about SWTOR's engine. Still, would be great if Bioware could make these improvements to this game as well. Definitely needs it.
  7. I'd recommend submitting an app on our website and/or sending an in-game whisper to Deiryl/Zadiel/Varinne, Angevyn, Helkia, or Te'ambroji. And thank you for your interest!
  8. Don't care if you have to buy the feature from the CM, just want the feature! You can do this Bioware, I have faith in you...still!
  9. Definitely back this idea. I have several characters at or near the radiant crystal cap and have already bought all the decorations I can with them. I would love to buy DMCs!
  10. And yet another reason why I only use CC to change my character's looks or to unlock an outfit. You're making the gambling system even worse for your consumers, but I know that you know that. I'll keep staying away from the Cartel Market until you start putting better business practices in place. Just look at your competitors for a reference.
  11. Looking for any and all fun-loving people. In addition, need steady, reliable raiders: WED/SUN 8:30PM EST - Tank TUE/THU 9PM PST - DPS 2x
  12. Assuming you're looking for a Republic guild, check out <Aethereal> at http://www.aethereal.club/. We're both east and west coast US, and have raiding teams for both time zones.
