Looking for a stable group of Sith

[Tobytja]

Hello all,

I’d like to form a stable group of four characters. My idea is this:

1. Four Sith characters, one of each class (juggernaut, marauder, sorcerer, assassin).

2. Communication during game over Skype or other voice service. No text chat unless absolutely necessary.

3. One playing session weekly, about 3 to 5 hours long.

4. Playing from 1st level

5. In case one player can’t come due to other obligations, we’ll use a companion. If two can’t come, we’ll cancel the session.

6. Big focus on heroic missions, flashpoints, achievements hard to get on solo.

 

Subscribers only.

One thing to bear in mind(1): if there is a Jugg and a Mara (say) in a group, more generally two of the same base class, and they are progressing through the class stories together, they will need to go through each instanced piece of class story content *twice*, since only the instance owner (first player to go in) can advance the character's story.

 

You'll also have to, for all members of the group, check the box in Preferences that allows two players of the same class into class-story instances.

 

"Group Phase" content like Heroic instances or Dailies or any one-off missions that aren't part of the class story (<Story Arc>, etc.) allow one-pass completion for the entire group.

 

"Personal Phase" content like e.g. phases on Rishi follows the same rule as class-story instances. (You can think of class-story instances as being class-locked personal phases.)

 

(1) That's "to bear in mind" rather than "and therefore don't do this".

Sure, these would be done separately outside the joined sessions. Each time we would agree where should we progress with class stories till the next session. Might be something like “till next time let’s do Alderaan story” or “Let’s do everything on Alderaan up to the point where you move to another location” or something like that.

The group can go into class-story instances together, but the instance owner's story advances, and everyone else is a spectator. If the group is careful to keep the two Warriors doing their class story in sync, and the same for the two Inquisitors, you get to have fun comparing how each member does the story and everything. Have one Warrior (say) go in first, let that character's story advance, then exit the instance and have the other Warrior go in first. (Etc.)

 

The only ones that might be problematic (i.e. involving a *lot* of faffing about) are companion-story conversations, although those might merely be "only for the player" anyway.
