turtlesareawesom Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I am wondering if today is the last day for the Rakghoul Event, or if it ends tomorrow, because I just finished Tatooine on my Level 27 Smuggler yesterday, and I have to go to Alderaan for my class quests?
JPryde Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 As far as I remember, it started early last tuesday and it will likely end at the exact same time tomorrow. Depending of your schedule, you might be able to get a mission or two squeezed in tomorrow, but you will not be able to use any renewed IDs on the eyeless.
turtlesareawesom Posted January 27, 2014 Author Posted January 27, 2014 According to my schedule, I play SWTOR from 11:00 a.m. EST till 5:00 p.m. EST Monday-Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, I play SWTOR from 9:00 a.m. EST till 5:00 p.m. EST. I go to sleep from 10:00 p.m. EST to 8:00 a.m. EST every day.
DimmuJanKaarl Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 wait, what??? why would they stop this after one week?? I realize there are other planets but I've barely managed to clear hardmode eyeless twice between alts out of dozens of attempts because pugging is so difficult when so many people are still learning the fight. that's a whole other thread tho because it's either people who don't understand how to manage green aoe and down adds fast enough or it's -- worse yet -- jerks who come in and keep interrupting instruction saying how easy it is and then we wipe because new players don't know what to do and those same jerks rage quit after 1-2 wipes. but I digress... on the bounty week I was able to get a constant flow of purple trophies across my alts so one week at a time is fine. on this event there is only one source for the purple trophy and that's hardmode eyeless. the fight may be relatively easy but it is extremely difficult to pug. one week is WAY too short!
JPryde Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 wait, what??? why would they stop this after one week?? Because that is the schedule? I am pretty sure, that the event ends tomorrow on alderaan. The question yet to be answered is, if the event will seamlessly continue on Tat or Cor... or if the cute little raks need some time to get there... and we will first get bounty week or even gree week in between.

I haven't seen a dev or moderator post one way or the other. wasn't gree two weeks at a time? If they move it off Alderaan what happens to eyeless? honestly that's what I'm most concerned about. it's the only way to get a purple rep trophy atm.

Denerio Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) I hope it's over. This event is rubbish! Edited January 27, 2014 by Denerio

Yuppy Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Today is the last day indeed! However the plans on when or what planet (cor and tat) will be next are still NA!
DimmuJanKaarl Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I hope it's over. This event is rubbish! while I don't hate the event, per se -- and it has been a nice distraction from doing nothing but ops -- my ocd begs for more time to get enough trophies for legend rep. I'm trying to not even look at achievements as that would simply destroy me.
JadeUnseelie Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I have almost all the achievements I can get without the rep (ie the Contaminated Rakling Lurker Achievement). I love the Event because I missed most of the first Event two years ago and wanted it to come back. Ops are getting monotonous
Prototypemind Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I do hope there's space between this iteration and the next. It makes it far more fun when you can't get all your jollies in one run. The Gree wasn't quite as thrilling by week two either time that I've done it. Besides which, it doesn't really help with the immersion at all to have the outbreak showing up week after week on each planet. With your help and the help of others T.H.O.R.N. has managed to put down the plague on Alderaan, destroy the Eyeless, and set all things right. Or so everyone thought, until months later when... Hoping the Jawa will stick around, but at least the regular Rep vendors are available between events on Shadaa, and there will be other things to do in the meantime. Word is that pain the Shroud isn't done with the Empire or Republic and aims to cause issues once again.
coldmiser Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Kind of sucks because I didn't even come close to getting enough faction to buy a single thing I wanted. I have enough canisters, but still only the first level faction with THORN.

While logically what you say makes sense, I would love if this next week we see another iteration on another planet. Lol. I would love another week of the event in general and if they threw in another planet it would be the icing on the cake. The Gree Event was generally 2 weeks wasn't it? Or am I getting that confused with the Christmas iteration.
teclado Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) wait, what??? why would they stop this after one week?? Because the rakghoul plague is getting REALLY old. I'm tired of it. I boycotted the entire thing because of what it's doing to warzones. Remove the effect from warzones and I would be happy. But apparently that's too much to ask. Also, that is a KILLER schedule OP! I wish I had that. Mine is more like this: M-F = 1-2 hours in the evening, Sat = 1-2 hours in the evening (maybe) , Sunday = up to 5 hours. Edited January 27, 2014 by teclado
PlasmaJohn Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 ... on this event there is only one source for the purple trophy and that's hardmode eyeless. ... I've been getting purple rep tokens from 16m story.

Do you somehow get payed to play by any chance? Can't remember the last time I had that much time on my hands to play video games lol.

When I got into my twenties my play time was a lot less then it used to be. Then I got married and it went down some more. As it stands I typically to Friday night from about 6PM-Mid night, Saturday the same... and Sunday from like Noon-4PM. That's granted there are no plans and I am home to use those times lol. Very rarely do I play during the week any more. If I do it's only in the evenings for an hour or two.
ikinai Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Today is the last day on Alderaan That they're gonna have rakghoul plague By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about it now Backbeat the word was on the holonet That the plague on Alderaan is out I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt I don't believe that anybody feels The way I do about the plague now And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding There are many things that I would Like to say about the plague But I don't know how Because maybe You're gonna be the one that saves me And after all You're my rakghoul vaccine!
