SWTOR: Basilisk Droid

I played for an hour last night (Porthos), my problem has been that my game hasn't worked for the guts of two weeks (since 1.1) but I managed to sort it two days ago so I should be able to play from now on, maybe a couple of hours a night.

I think I saw 3 guildies online.

He probably didnt realise you were irish.

If anyone wants to join, give me (dustaz) or Escape, Shadows, Flowtje a shout, identify yourself as irish from boards and we can invite.

Our raid roster is pretty full so we cant guarentee a raid spot at the moment, but its handy to have a guild while levelling and for pvp and heroic dailys.

Look at Dustaz crumbling to boards pressure?!?!?!?

In fairness be grand to get more people into the guild to have a larger roster for running flashpoints etc.

why doc? you afraid some boards players are actually better players than you and you wont get a raid spot?

Thats a bit cheeky isnt it?

I'm not 50 cause the game is bollox, smplz

yah oomphin, leave doc alone, hes ours to mock!

Are you guys raiding yet?

You'll fly through it, just expect bugs

Heres a good example. After doing puzzle boss in EV 3 times with no problem, last night it bugged out for no apparent reason. We reset it and did it again. Again, bugged out (buttons became unclickable). Exit area, reset, same thing. and AGAIN. At this point we get a bit annoyed and off to the forums we go. Apparently in hard and nightmare you HAVE to solve North, South, South and then North or the thing completely freaks out and becomes bugged. Now this could be intended but there is absolutely no indication that you must solve in this order so we assume its a bug.

1 plus side from all this is that we figured we would give it a try nightmare mode to see if it worked and realised that its absolutely zero difference from hard mode and neither is the council boss.

So yeh, were 2/6 nightmare now

Thats cheeky too!

I'm perfectly competant at levelling

SWTOR just breaks the mould and just stops me from getting into long grinds with so much downtime hitting spacebar

The one big thing this game claimed would be epic has for me being its biggest turn off, I've gone completely off quest cut scenes

Class quests sure, side quests, get ****ed

Obviously there are some "go collect 15 basilisk husks" and you don't care about that.

But each zone has its own "class quest" though. Some of them are really interesting. If you finish it you get access to a bonus series that has good gear. Hoth's "bane sqaudron" was pretty cool. You are missing out by just space barring through it.

I think what he's saying is that he watches the class quest storylines and spacebars everything else. Which is pretty much what i ended up doing post tatooine.
I watched my classquest dialogues, I generally paused enough to get the gist of the main planet questlines by scanning the subtitles and 100% lightspeed spacebarred everything else. They really do get in the way of the "right, ill do this section now" grind.

sidenote, do you have to finish both class and main planet questlines to access the bonus series or is it just the class line?

Couldnt agree with this more, i think i have had my fill of the dialogue on quests. I generally would be interested if it had some impact on the story (some of the things you do on side quests are huge) but it doesn't so whats the point. I will sometimes listen to the quest if it has an interesting story arch but normally i will blast my way through and only pay attention to the storyline.

Yeah it's the main zone quest you need to complete. I just went through Balmorra on my Sorc and completed the Bonus Series. On my BH I never got access to it because I done a lot of space missions, flashpoints and PVP to the point I felt I had out leveled the zone and just completed my class quests rather then the green zone quests. Some good gear upgrades, money and a free level of XP for it as well. It's allowing me just focus on my class quest on the next planet now so every 2nd planet I will probably do the bonus series if I can.

Dawn Herald and Diskey Whisco did a joint Eternity Vault yesterday.

4/5 bosses down. We had to stop on the last guy with the platforms as one of our healers lagged out and you can't heal 7 people with 1 healer.

Still, pretty good for a first try.

Crazy, made a character on this server a few days ago. I log into the game yesterday at noon to find 300 people on the Imperial Fleet. On my main characters server there are never more than 50 on the Republic Fleet. What an inbalance.

Noon at the weekend tends to be the busiest time on the fleet. It's largely due to the dailies resetting at 12GMT, hence everyone pops to the fleet to pick them up. By about 11.45 the PvP terminals in particular end up crowded to the point that you can't click on the vendors beside them.
