FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS

Also the Lokin recruitment quest seems bugged to hell. The Rakghoul tunnels stage is fine, but the final(?) stage on tatooine has you drop a probe in the sarlaac, except activating the probe doesn't actually... do anything. Some sort of box or something is supposed to spawn, but it doesn't, and there's like twenty people standing around it. Also resetting the quest means you have go back to Alderaan to talk to Lokin again, except at some point he vanished from my contact list so I couldn't even quick travel back. :ughh: Luckily that step doesn't require a limited-time event anyway.

And this is the same solution for people having issues with clicking an object in a previous recruitment quest for Xalec. When you need to click the ice wall on Illum

Kevin J. Anderson built a career off of taking something that was popular and finding a way to make it more like a ten-year-old made it. "Oh, you thought the Death Star was cool?

So if anyone wants to run HM EV tonight I would really like to. And ideally, swap out at Soa so we have a lockout we can repeat through the week and farm 224 main hands.

Edit - I should be home around 8pm EST.

Having heard no objections, I'm declaring 7:00 Eastern on Thursday and Sunday as the official times for the HM ops group. We'll not be running EV so people can feel free to burn lockouts on the no doubt many farming runs that we'll do this week. On that note...

While this is a good idea, I'd suggest we mostly use that lockout on iffily-geared alts and people who don't want to run the full op. There's plenty of good loot in the fights leading up to Soa and it would be a shame to only get it once.

I haven't actually started KotFE yet, since I wanted to get all my Imperial characters through SoR first (almost there.... aaallllmmmoooost theeeerrrree) and then possibly level up my 'pubbler characters, but now I'm wondering if I should make a start with the one character who has finished SoR...

Hahaha that's what you think.

The purpose of that line was to illustrate an issue with (in this case Cythereal wasn't but it's a very common thing to do) justifying decisions made by writers with events written by said writers: fiction isn't a process by which writers simply dutifully record the happenings of an alternate universe. If something is, it's because they wrote it that way, and no amount of in universe explanations written to justify whatever they wanted to do after the fact absolve them from scrutiny.

Lessee... going from memory that's 2 stacks of diplomacy blues at about 4K each, 3 stacks and a bit of biology greens at 1300 each, and about 25 diplomacy purples at... God I can't do the math right now but I was just as stunned that people bought them since they're not much of a better rate than blues.

20 minutes per companion quest, 5 companions ~7 each trip (C2's had half the yield but half the deploy time), that's 2 hours of sending guys out on Diplomacy while I ran around with Risha saving the galaxy and chewing up animals into paste.

EDIT: do note I'm on a different server from y'all, so don't take my prices as gospel. Don't take them as gospel anyway, because the GTN is insanely volatile at the best of times, and this is not the best of times. Prices are gonna spike and fall all over the place while people recruit Lokin this week.

Ridiculously successful raiding night for TNG. This Hard Mode of the week thing is going to make gearing insanely easy. Two full runs of Hard Mode EV in just over two hours, EVERY boss drops both an unassembled 220 AND 224 token on 8 man. That's nuts.

And as we learned, Soa can be kited after he enrages because one of your DPS fell and spent the whole last floor of the fight dead.

It's not so much for an event as an alliance recruitment companion who demands huge amounts of biochem mats. After that he gives you a quest that requires the rakghoul event to be active to finish recruiting him.

Well, yeah, but everybody is like "oh poo poo I'd better grind out the first part of this RIGHT NOW so I can do the other part before the event ends!"

And you guys were really not kidding about how hot these mats are selling. I just listed what I had lying around, logged back in to that character about an hour later and sold literally all of it and made at least 2 million.

P.S. I didn't list full stacks, I broke 'em down into the exact increments that give people rep gains:

Anodyne Extract x24 = 300 influence
Metamorphic Cell Cultures x24 = 300 influence
Hemostatic Gel x20 = 300 influence
Autoimmune Regulators x12 = 300 influence

It seems like people are passing up stuff where the price per unit is lower to get these convenient amounts.

Finally finished the Sith Warrior story: Working against Baras was a lot of fun in act 3. I really liked the sith helper you get (who I'm pretty sure was the not-James-Earl-Jones guy from Colony Wars) and fund the other one almost hilariously pointless. Ended up being a sort of tempered dark side, merciless but honorable, with the idea that she could carve through anything that tried to get one over on her through sneaky means. Also was more the Emperor's Servant type than the 'BOW TO ME' sort.

From what I've seen of Makeb I think I might do that with my SW first, as being in command of a team and doing stuff for the empire seems to naturally fit a sith better than my BH.

Pet me.
Bounty Hunter often gets treated with little respect or appeased with money in the conversations, at least in the original, and a sith lord everybody tippy toed on.

It was actually cool in multiplayer conversation wheels where they insult the Bounty Hunter character, but the next response can be your Sith warrior buddy you're playing with pretty much chiming in to put that questgiver in his place real quick.

lol in this case it was that mission on Balmorra where you rig the radios to explode, and then another guy gives you a lighter side choice to do it to grenades instead to target soldiers. They all went with the dark choice except me, I won, then when the guy berated everyone I won the roll basically saying 'yeah, guys, what were you thinking?'

It was great.

My BH's outfit is finally coming together:



Just finished that storyline. Ultiamtely betrayed Tormen and sided with the Chancellor. Partly because gently caress Sith, partly because My Reputation, but mostly because since becoming a Mandalorian I noticed my motivation in missions went from "gimme money" to "gimme a challenge". Corpsing a Sith in his own flagship seemed to fit into that quite nicely.

Would you guys suggest I just focus on storyline missions for Cartel and Revan content, then come back to them when I'm done with the Knights stuff? I don't know how many rewards would actually be relevant even though I'm 65.
