  1. You're not alone. They just don't take negative feedback. 7.0 is absolute pure garbage. The inventory and vaults look like they are pre-alpha place-holder systems. It's a complete down-grade. The character creator doesn't even let you zoom out past the upper torso anymore, and instead of having a graphical background, it's just all-black. What a load of garbage.
  2. I can't seem to find a way to revert the inventory and vaults to their pre-7.0 views, which are far less-favorable. Is there a benefit to the new format that I'm just not seeing?
  3. Tried to roll a new toon, only to discover that you cannot zoom out, beyond seeing only the upper torso of the body types, with the 7.0 update. Was this on-purpose?
  4. Yours truly was originally looking forward to 7.0, with the focus towards group-content and the expansion of the fighting styles. After reading about the dumbing-down of the gearing system though, I was just so discouraged. I can't *believe* they found a way to dumb things down, even further. WHEN will we stop catering to the most casual and un-invested of players? The subtraction of complexity just takes me out of it. Gearing is my favorite aspect of SWTOR. I was the type of player who was saddened when we stopped having the ability to gear-up our companions, a few years back. Don't get me wrong: Companion tanking is better than it was before - but it still felt like a loss. The de-evolution of the token system by which we were modding gear to level? Still fine - maybe it even added feasability to crafting levelling upgrades, with the removal of the blues and the change to buying only greens. But the static stats that we'll now be getting? Oof.... It's just too much. We're not allowed to criticize the game on the forums, so I know this thread will quickly be removed - but OMG! When, when, WHEN will we get an MMO that values time-investment and lengthly player-projects over simplicity and casual play?
  5. Sadly, I think they changed it; It used to be that if you bothered to go through the main story on Makeb, then you talked a LOT with Jace Malcolm for the lead-in / original run of the Makeb bonus missions. Want to say I tried it earlier this year, and they were fully terminal-obtained. But aye - once characters are dead, they should really stay dead.
  6. Just filed my 5th in-game CSR ticket, FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! I even take extra steps to try to ensure that I don't accidentally RE (reverse engineer, for any devs/csr's who don't play the game) my permanent gear - but it's happened AGAIN! I've filed 5 tickets now, and CSR's just LAUGH IT OFF! "Oh, these things happen - but sorry, our policy says...." Would it help if I mentioned that WoW has something to prevent this? Can you do it if WoW does it? Does that make it permissible? At the very least, can't CSR's be given permission to take 2 minutes to refund an item THAT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE RE'd? Don't just sit there and do NOTHING! PLEASE FIX THIS!!! FIX IT! FIX IT! FIX IT!
  7. They've taken it off of the easy-buy options from the Cartel Market. As such, I'm presently offering your choice of either 70mil credits or 35mil and an S-311 Fusion Sabateur Rifle. If you're interested, it's best to message me in-game. Mails or direct /whisper is just fine. In-game name is Ahlvis.
  8. Gotta be in the next 2 days, though; my account goes F2P, after that, and I won't be sub'd for awhile. Contact Ahlvis in-game by mail or /whisper, on the Republic Side.
  9. No one's updated the In-Game Events page since September; Not sure what's to happen, in October, as of yet. In case you happen not to have decided just yet, would love to have the Gree around, again!
  10. Most-relevant forum I can find, for this. Yours truly noticed today that not 1, but 2 of my legacy Tank gear pieces are sub-par - which is odd, since they were end-game and primo, to the last of my knowledge. The best I can figure is that while sorting loot over time, I've accidentally clicked to equip the subpar pieces, then flushed my end-game pieces down the toilet. It may have been my imagination, but is there a way to mark gear as un-Reverse Engineer-able, without having to first un-mark it?
  11. Just under 3 minutes in length. Something creative our community came up with awhile ago, using the graphics of the different Force-based classes. This, however, was the very first time doing this on the Sith side, for us: There are 2 takes. The second take is both the best captured and the best executed. Unfortunately, the recording program didn't capture any of the audio, but I'm looking into better options. Few programs seem to want to work with eachother, these days! Enjoy, and let me know what you think! This was filmed by <THE SlTH ORDER> of the Satele Shan server, part of the 6-guild community of <THE JEDl ORDER>.
  12. 3 minute video, includes two takes. The second take is the best! Filmed 30SEP2020 in the Sith Academy. No audio managed to capture, so I'll find a better recording program: We've occasionally done these in the history of <THE JEDl ORDER> - but this was the very first time we've done one of these on the Sith side! Just one of many colorful types of events you can find our community involved in.

Orion Sol's JEDl from SWG is still around - and invites YOU to check us out! While <THE JEDl ORDER> has always been around in some incarnation since inception back in 2004 in Star Wars: Galaxies (it's the reason behind the lower-case 'L' in our names), yours truly is happy to report that our community has once again reached a great level of activity! While we've admittedly never been the strongest PvP guild, you are invited to join us for copius amounts of weekly guild events (6 guilds, in-total, all the same community), RP, both spontaneous and scheduled PvE, and an un-ending slew of special, unique guild events that have been a part of our history since 2004! As content for this thread, I'll post 1 or 2 of my favorite screenshots from every week, as well as a notification when the next chapter in our near-weekly Adventures Log is ready for reading. For the first post herein, a couple of shots from this past week's thread, but exclusive here as my personal favorites: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UpFVse4AnqwhUVpx8 This is a shot of the 3rd phase of the weekly Sith Order Induction Ceremony - and it was the first with yours truly, at the helm! Our thanks to community-favorite Altheandra, who recently finished rennovations on both the guild ship, as well as the stronghold. and another: https://photos.app.goo.gl/YbkRJqyAtHBKWbRk9 Master Siow - a long-time community member, is known for his many high-quality videos using in-game footage. Here, he has borrowed a group of us for footage to take place in an Alderaan stronghold. Even the recap thread only includes shots from the events that yours truly is able to personally attend; There are plenty that I can't make it to! If you'd like to take part in our adventures, then find and inquire with members of <THE JEDl ORDER> and <THE SlTH ORDER>, today!
  14. The "Field Deployments" we have done for the Trooper guild in our community don't attract a lot of attention. Was looking for some activity or another that would fit well and have appeal for REPUBLIC SPECFORCE, our sister-guild. The last field deployment went to Voss. We marched single-file through the city after a short briefing, took a shuttle to the lowlands, fought Sith and Imperial troops in a large swath of ruins to gain intel, then went to the Gormak territory in the far northeast of Voss. There's a primitive electrical dam there, and we fought our way inside of it. After rigging one of their contraband bombs to blow, we were extracted. The RP was that Gormak improvised tech kept showing up in Imperial hands; We were there to track it down, and if possible, end the supply. Events like these seem like they should have bigger appeal - but for some reason don't. Maybe there's something more Trooper-riffic I'm not thinking of? Input is appreciated.

WEEK SEVEN Well, you never know how much you do as a guild officer in a single week, until it's looking back at you, in screenshots. I hadn't considered myself that busy, last week - but there was a lot that I didn't recall, by the end of the week! Here's some of the highlights from the events that yours truly was able to make it to, within the 6 guilds of THE JEDl ODER: On Monday the 10th, the community brought out their Imperial toons for a world boss hunt. These we do host regularly, as they are part of rank-up requirements. https://photos.app.goo.gl/XZoUr3aAnxuhYPxr9 https://photos.app.goo.gl/Z9RZeVX7K8ie8nmZ8 Kragesh, who would later also become my Apprentice, duels me as part of his rank-up requirements. The end of the REPUBLIC SPECFORCE ceremony, on the 11th: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NJdpz1Ai3xww2fRS8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/zbbG1Q3JJpCJtuj8A Tzorath, whom I accepted as an Apprentice. All of my Apprentices of late have been quite active and busy. A shot from the MANDALORIAN CLANS weekly RP event, The New Mandalorian Legends. This is after we've brought our trophies back: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7mUM2srP61xk6ZeT8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/FVsrTeLkvkxANyPd9 Myself and an Apprentice unlock a mystery of the past, as part of the tasks given to the Apprentice, by the Master. A scene from the Padawan Crystal Hunt, on the 13th. Emerald hosts these in a couple of phases. The first phase, pictured here, is a chance for the newer members of the guild to share with others the RP story they've come up with, thus far. https://photos.app.goo.gl/GFHCX4nvnd1dJgxz8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/bU4ymGt8S91rR9Pa8 A shot from the MANDALORIAN CLANS weekly meeting. A still from Westgaard's 201 PvE Class, on the 15th: https://photos.app.goo.gl/aQjMUK3HX5cvkjpm7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/EhVLvSyPUXuaDyrb6 A guildie in MANDALORIAN CLANS completes her duel against an officer, for rank-up requirements. The REPUBLIC PRIVATEERS host a duelling tournament, on the Nar Shaddaa Moon: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fvkk1wzjQHxXdYL38 https://photos.app.goo.gl/NhJp9zcYZzTwj8Jo8 The weekly Jedi ceremony ends in a different location than usual, as we experiment with locations. Master Siow - one of our ocmmunity's big in-game filmers - poses a couple of us, as he borrows a group of guildies to get some primo footage: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kvbKTJ7tUjXiJA8XA https://photos.app.goo.gl/gXWJS6Q9zhDAnSWX8 The very first SlTH ORDER weekly ceremony with yours truly at the helm. The weekly SlTH ceremony was timed and located to end, just as a SlTH roleplay event began, in the same location. This was a chance for Sith to aire their concerns to the Dark Council of our sect of the Sith. Some private affairs received response, and a few laughs were shared - overall, a great night in our newly-rennovated flagship! https://photos.app.goo.gl/yYMAstNjC64kwQGC7 https://photos.app.goo.gl/7eXaVRLaeRJBxDJT6 Finishing off the week's best-of screenshots is a community-only run at SM SnV. I do enjoy the side-blowing palm trees, in that Op. More to come, as the quarter goes by! Yours truly will do my best to keep our adventures recorded here, for your reading and viewing enjoyment!
