  1. https://www.wehavedelusionsofgrandeur.com/ <Delusions of Grandeur> is a casualcore Operations-running guild. This means we balance casual “real-life-first” timetables with competent performance to yield high level progress through SWTOR’s most challenging operations content. Casual: Our scheduled teams convene once per week, for no more than three hours at once. Hardcore: We clear the most difficult content (Nightmare/Master Mode). So, we raid. It is not, however, our part-time job. We are casualcore. Delusions has maintained at least one continuous weekly raid group since our first full clear of Storymode Eternity Vault in January 2012. Excepting holiday weeks, that’s nearly a decade of consistent SWTOR raiding. During 3.0, the Shadow of Revan expansion, we ran 4 distinct groups. Since the release of KOTFE/ET & Onslaught, we field only a single operations team, and with it we have cleared Revan HM (the usual metric of a team's capacity for success), and other cool stuff. Our Operations team runs weekly on Saturday night, starting at 5pm US Pacific time (Sunday mornings APAC times). We go for 3 hours, and that's it. We recently lost a few members of the team due to Real Life circumstances (changing work schedules, the demands of new marriages and children (Real Life Leveling up), waning interest in SWTOR, etc). Our 8-man team is open with 4 spots, including tank, healer, and DPS. You're a good fit for us if you're the type of person who's always home on Saturday nights, and you're looking for a raid team with good humor, kindness, and sharp and creative intellectuals. We have zero-tolerance for toxicity: yellers, chest-thumpers, passive-aggressive "not my fault" types, etc. And we have a long track record of developing previously casual-level players into highly competent gamers without StarParse-shaming and browbeating. NiM content really isn't that hard if you're just locked in, focused, and knowledgeable. Anyone can be the first two, and we can teach the last one. Contact us via our recruiter and GM, Silverknight (me). I'm available for DMs on Discord @ Silverknight#9346, u/SilverknightLegacy on reddit, or in-game. I have an army of alts, so best to do a "/who delusions" and just message anyone on the list. Hope to hear from you soon!

  4. When we raid, we take the content seriously, without taking ourselves seriously. Too few raid teams do the first thing and can't do the second. Take a moment to review the following video to get a sense of how much fun we have! Guild's first run through Dxun Storymode. Not an instructional video! First 4 encounters.

  6. A non-spoiler review of the first episode, for people wondering if they should invest in Disney Plus.
  7. A non-spoiler review of the first episode, for people wondering if they should invest in Disney Plus. I'd say wait, personally. Looks like they're doing one episode a week, or something. It's not like WOW AMAZING. It's not like "you gotta see this now!" It's more like, wait a few months, and then when the entire series is available, sub for a month, binge, cancel. That's if the only reason you'd consider D+ is for The Mandalorian. If you want D+ for other reasons, then cool. But if it's just Star Wars you want ... eh ... wait.
  8. Which guild perk do you purchase to make the following interface element, (Guild Window -> General Tab -> Conquest Leaders), report accurate information for Current and Previous Leaders? Do I just need to wait for a certain 2-week guild-perk-interval when that perk is available to purchase? Maybe only high-level guilds have access to it? Someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks.
  9. The following link goes to EXACTLY the armor you're looking for: https://torf.mmo-fashion.com/beryllius-armor-mkii-pub/ That's what you want. The armor drops in the level range from 41-49, and can be commonly found on the GTN for affordable prices because it's just green/blue loot that drops off literally anything in that level range. For instance, right now on Satele Shan there are 2 on the GTN, "Prototype Herloss Commando Armor" and "Krail Armory Commando Armor." Both level 41. Just sort your GTN search by Armor/Heavy/Chest/Standard (Rarity) and sort by level, tab through to the 40s, and you'll get what you need. The leg armor comes from the same level range as well, and is also green/blue quality and cheap to buy. If there aren't any on your server at the moment, just check every day for a few days, and in no time you'll get what you need. These items used to be dye-able through the Outfit Designer, but they nerfed that about a year ago or so. Good luck. EDIT: A belt drops in that same level range as well that goes with the outfit, has the same cyan-colored light on it as the chest and legs. The Conservator's Gloves work really well with it also, because they have the same little LED lights in the exact same hue.
  10. Narratively speaking, it's completely justifiable to have no control over losing Quinn should you choose to side with the Republic. Given Quinn's history and personality, it strains credulity to consider that he would abandon the Empire utterly. Joining the Alliance, a neutral entity that, at the time he joins it, is the galaxy's last hope, is one thing for Quinn. But if war between the Republic and the Empire commences, and the formally neutral alliance he joined to save the galaxy decides to side with the Republic, Quinn SHOULD leave, because he WOULD. His allegiance to the Empire has always superseded his love for the female SW. We may wish him to stay, but he would never willingly put his talents to use in a violent war FOR the Republic AGAINST the Empire. Never. Anyone who chooses to believe otherwise is seeing Quinn through the lens of who they wish he was, not who he actually is (as depicted by the entire narrative surrounding him from the minute you meet him through to Ossus). Quinn loves the SW. He loves the Empire more. It's realistic for him to leave, far more than him choosing to go to war for pubs vs imps. That being said ... the fact that his departure is depicted merely in an email, not in a fully voiced and blocked scene where he and the SW have a heart-wrenching argument where he states clearly who and what he is and why he must part ways with the SW forever ... it's disappointing. It's probably a function of limited real-world time and budget, but nevertheless a huge disappointment. Of all the romances available to all 8 classes of both genders, not one of them is more fraught, or more ripe for compelling narrative storytelling, than a female SW choosing to side permanently with the Republic. This one should have been given special attention. Sure, Aric and Elara both married to an Imp-siding Trooper should be a huge deal, and the Kira/Knight thing WOULD be if she were back yet (who knows what they'll do with her for Knights who choose the Empire, since that content is coming up). Felix has enough baggage with the Republic that I can see him staying loyal to a traitorous Consular. Nadia is corruptible. Corso and Risha and Akavi dgaf either way. Vette would stay loyal, DS Jaesa clearly wouldn't, but the breakup between DS Jaesa and a pub-siding SW wouldn't necessarily need a complex scene - they JUST remet, so there's no history with the SW as the Alliance Commander like there is with Quinn, however brief the latter's history is. I think there's a pathway to the continuance of the romance between an Empire-loyal Inquisitor and Ashara. She did that once, she'd do it again, no matter how much she's grown in the intervening years. Andy dgaf either if the Inquisitor stays or betrays - I mean sure, he has a *little* anti-pub baggage unique to him, but nothing that being the consort of the Alliance Commander can't make him immune. Mako prolly prefers the Republic but she'll clearly follow the BH no matter what. Same in reverse with Torian, preference for Empire but would follow a traitorous BH no matter what. Temple is good to go either way, same with Vector. Kaliyo is another companion who dgaf either way. Of all these romances, the one that stands out as having the most potential for compelling storytelling in this choice to stay or betray the original faction, so much potential as to be a necessary, requisite dramatic scene, is SW and Quinn. A few others come close, and the rest don't even. Quinn and a Pub-siding SW need their moment, their final marital argument, one that sets the stage for a 6.0 showdown between them. Imagine the emotional weight this storyline in particular could carry. Nothing else comes close, and this needs to be given its due.
  11. Why exactly do you have a Rishi Trader, Lana Beniko, Senya Tirall, and a Medical Droid all present in your bedroom? I mean, I suppose Lana's Sithy nature might get the better of her at times, hence the medical droid, and, let's be honest, what polyamorous situation isn't improved by the presence of beaks, claws, and feathers? Is that why your camera lingered so long, like ... a lovingly long time ... on that orobird mount at the start?
  12. Electronet really should be a melee-only ability, and not even for mercs/mandos, but rather for Jedi/Sith characters and, even then, ONLY if they're wielding a lightsaber-trident in the MH slot. But back to the actual topic, the game really does need separate buff bars, one for "irrelevant" buffs, the ones we can reasonably assume you always have (like the 4 class buffs and sprint), and then another buff bar for things that have long durations but come from consumables (like Command/Valor/Social/XP Boosts and Stims), and then a tertiary buff bar for things that are short duration and you want to assess (is it on? for how much longer? at how many stacks?) at a glance (a glance that lasts maybe 1/4th or 1/3rd of a second), for things like adrenals, procs, etc. That doesn't seem like too much to ask. But then again, I'm not trying to run a AAA MMO on a ZZZ budget because there's a direct siphon of money from my Cartel Market to the Anthem team's department ... so ...
