:smug:


Logged in to find my main (at the time a level 33 Operative) was purged from the guild, I guess from inactivity? I log in fairly regularly though, so no idea what's up there.

Anyway, I'd appreciate a re-invite to That's No Goon. Name's Dronu, I'm powering through story missions with the free time I have as long as the 12x bonus is in effect.

Edit: I can't decide which class to pick for my free level 60. I've never gotten a class higher than my current operative (now 41), so I guess I should pick the one whose story interests me the least, right? If I pick one with a story that does interest me, then I won't be as motivated to level up a character if I've already got a level 60? :confused:

Great news for those of you ideologically correct enough to play Republic side: the Goon Squad glorious headquarters on sunny Coruscant now features a GTN station, mail, Legacy Bank (ok that was there before) and a few vendors to offload junk. Also: rugs!

:siren:With KOTFE launching next week, I'm running a contest:siren:

The Prize: An unlock token for the Togruta species! A 600cc or ~$1.3 million (on the GTN currently) value! Note that this unlock is account-wide!

The Rules:

1. Send an in-game mail to Xodiac with your SA name in it from the character you wish to enter into the contest.
2. Character must be a current member in good standing of TNG. By good standing, I mean you at least have the comment section on your character filled with your SA name*
3. Post a picture of a character (Imp or repub) in this thread showcasing your best outfit.
4. I'm going on the honor system here but please do not enter the contest if you already have this unlock. I'm not looking for people who will simply resell the token on the GTN. Sorry people who already have it :(
5. Only one entry per person.

I'll be choosing a winner at random on or near the 20th and mailing the token to them then.

Good luck!



*FYI if you don't have this, ask anyone with the rank of Major or above to fill it in the guild page next to your name. If you're a Major, you can do it yourself. Those that don't have this entry filled have a greater chance to be guild kicked by Medullah on one of his drunken rampages :eng101:

Last 2 days to get in on this!

Also, Goon Fashion updated again with the latest pics from the last few pages

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

If you're using /who "Goon" or the like, then you actually have to press the search looking glass after it brings up the window because it doesn't actually do a search using your terms.

Since launch day. :cripes:

And you'd probably have better luck hopping on the Empire side and asking if someone in TNG can get you in Goon Squad.

There isn't really a way around it, you have to buy gifts or send companions on gift missions, and both cost a lot of money.

If I were to buy something in the cartel solely to sell in the GTN, what would be something likely to have good value? Thexan's set?

I miss FFXIV's market, you could see the history of sales for individual items, so you could know if stuff is actually being sold for the price they're being listed as.

Just don't pick unlocks meant for preferred players, as those have a credit limit at 350k, limiting how much you can charge for it.

Not 100% true - a lot of things are sold at greater than 350k to subs who are planning to drop to preferred. But I wouldn't count on too many of those right now.

Yep, the coat is the centerpiece of the white outfit I posted earlier, though the rest of that outfit is a weird mishmash of pieces I found on the GTN.

Word of warning to anyone planning to use it, the Black Talon coat takes dyes weirdly.

Mine was also dyed white and red. There are a few thin lines of red on the gauntlets and belt. I discovered when using colored dyes, though, that the heavy fur-looking part of the coat takes on a much darker shade than the lighter parts of the coat.

For Operatives there's also the level 40 or 50 Comm jacket. It's basically the Subversive one but with a different base color on the back and shoulder bits.

Because the bundle doesn't actually contain the expansions and SoR doesn't go free for subscribers until then.

Right, it's been mentioned a few times in the thread but it's in the details -

quote:

This starter pack also offers access to the highly acclaimed story expansions, Shadow of Revan and Rise of the Hutt Cartel, plus unlimited access to the Galactic Starfighter expansion. (Please note: Shadow of Revan becomes accessible on October 27, 2015)

Still a drat good deal.

Also as a reminder - I'd like to try and do Nightmare Mode TFB or S&V (right now leaning toward S&V as Operator 9 has ridiculous mechanics) tonight around 8pm EDT. This will be tough. But there are cool mounts and rewards, so I'd like to try it while it's tough tonight and not near impossible on Tuesday.

Go to your account and look under payment options, you'll see a list of payment dates. You can make sure you were subbed at the right dates from there.

Hey guys, haven't played since launch but thinking of picking this up again with the new expansion. As with most MMOs there are fun classes, there are OP classes, etc. I don't care about story too much. When I played I played a sentinel, the dual light saber weilder for the light side. I got to max level and had some decent fun until I realized illum was broken.

Which of the two SA guilds are more populated right now?

We are Empire side. Class balance is pretty good in pve atm, no idea how it will be later on, though Marauaders are no ones favorite. Powertechs and Sorcs are really safe bets. But you can make anything work.


Also Medullah the servers are laggy as hell atm, and it seems to be on their end, so I hope it all clears up by the time we try NiM stuff. :ohdear:

It's really worth using fraps or GeForce experience for it if you have an nvidia card, it's the only way I've found to make them reliable. There's also alt-printscreen if you're using Windows 8/10, all of them bypass the clients printscreen.
