Hah, I found my old phone with the security key for my old account. That sure is 3000 cartel coins.

Edit: Why does my bounty hunter have a massive lisp when I talk to one of these bounty event guys?

Yeah, it's like the VA had dental surgery the day before recording some of the expansion content. I'm glad someone noticed that too, I heard it on oricon and thought I was going nuts.

Ok cool, was auto transferred there anyway. How big is this game now, taking forever to download and so much is different. Going to be spending the next week learning everything, runs better at least, rolled a new Trooper, might do an agent as well as I recall them having the best story.
I'm on Harbinger as well, but the guild I'm in has been inactive so long that I've been auto-promoted to GM :toot:
EDIT: My Pub-side guild, that is. The Imp-side one has about 400 members

I briefly saw someone republic side today. But they were skittish and ran off.

I'll be making a smuggler at some point. Not sure why there aren't more republic characters, considering I thought most people played for the stories.

The BH Rail Shot actually sounds cool, whereas the Trooper equivalent sounds like a wet fart.

In general Imp side animations and effect tend to look cooler than their Pub counterparts. Exception being TK sages with disturbance and turbulence sounding and looking better than lightning spams on sorcs, IMO.

The fact it works on druids is a feature, not a bug.

I asked this earlier, but I think it was lost in the other discussions. Or no one cares!

Pub side pot5 is imploding and imps are barely any better, so a friend and I are probably transferring our imp characters off to more populated server. We are looking for sm ops for now. How is jc fleet for that? Hard to find pugs or raiding guilds?

For reference, jc, ebon hawk and harbringer are where we are looking. Harbringer being west coast is the biggest issue with that one.

Someone's almost always organizing something on JC fleet. I can't say whether you'd get even more action on the other servers, but you shouldn't have problems finding people on JC. Finding enough goons specifically might be a problem, since TNG's core raiding group is playing FF14 or like, living life or some poo poo, but there isn't exactly a huge goon presence outside of JC anyway so who cares.

It's wonderful at the higher levels. My Powertech was 46 before I was done with Hoth. The only issue is keeping up with mods.

If anyone needs an invite to either guild, I'm usually on after 7PM EST for a few hours. Post your character name in the thread along with what faction, and I'll do my best to get to you if someone else doesn't.

EDIT: Seems all my alts were purged. At least I can still do invites.

Quick question, in the OP it says:

quote:

Makeb will easily get you to level 55 – there are clickable “GSI support” stations that bolster you to make the planet easy mode no matter your gear.

I don't recall these the first few times I played through Makeb at launch - did they add them later? What do they look like? I only ask because I'm running through it on a semi-undergeared alt and getting wrecked.

Yeah they added them last year I think, because no one was going to Makeb (because gently caress Makeb). Definitely click them - and as far as what they look like, it's almost like I included a picture right next to where I talked about them. :)

Edit - Looks like they were added with Strongholds.

The GSI Satellite Support Service is now in open beta testing on Makeb. Once registered with the GSI support satellites, GSI will track your every move and provide you with the following support services:
Gear is now bolstered to a 156 rating while on Makeb, increasing all stats!
When combat is detected, a Medical Probe will be deployed to administer long-lasting, refreshing Kolto, healing you for 2% every 3 seconds while you remain in combat.
There is now a 250% boost to exploration Experience while on Makeb.

I assume he's talking about the satellite thing that will drop healing nano-probes in combat. You can get the buff at pretty much any of the hubs on the planet. There is also one in the orbital station right near the shuttles. They look like a small antenna I think with a clickable box on them.

Yeah they're new, they're in most outposts and they kinda look like mission terminals I think.

This cannot be said enough. I hate Makeb almost as much as Nar Shadda, bit it'll likely change once I run through it with more than one character.

I took an Inquisitor to level 20 by only doing class missions and 2 flash points. I just took an agent to level 10 by only doing class missions. You can do the class missions, hit level 10, and head to DK.
