Sounds like I should go to that server and start reserving names for any PVP toons I want to move...

I already have a geared up Sage on Republic side at 55 and am now looking for a home for my Marauder who I will have at 55 this weekend. I basically log on with him, PVP until I am tired of it and log off. No interest in raiding or anything else once he is at 55 other than PVP'ing. I am just looking for a mature PVP guild on the Imperial side that has a large contingent of PVPers so that typically anytime of day there are groups queueing. I don't have a really strong interest in Ranked simply because my work travel and other things keeps me from focusing that much on min/maxing but I think I am considered a strong PVPer by most people. Let me know if you are out there and looking... I'd love to hop in one when I hit 55 to start gearing up (he was in all Elite War Hero augmented gear prior to expac so I will concentrate on getting him maxed out). EDIT: I am located in Arizona also to give you some idea of play times... typically am on after 5pm PST until as late as Midnight PST... on the weekends typically it is more around Noon PST to 6pm PST. Thanks!

So you are saying that you could have gotten more DPS out of a better team? I doubt that highly. Fact of the matter is that this VS match should have been over about 1 minute into the 2nd round but your team literally stood around not even going for the door for the entire eight minutes to pad your stats. You are the equivalent of a football team up 60-0 deciding that they are going to keep running up the score to get to 100-0. I am sure you know that those kinds of things don't impress anyone. Interesting that you don't come to the forums to complain about getting farmed but you'll gladly farm a team so you can come here and stroke your e-peen about what great damage you did... meanwhile we are sitting there with 6 people most of the match because of people leaving. You should be very proud of yourself... I hope this gives your obviously low self esteem a little bump to get you through the week with yourself. /golfclap

I am somewhat in the same boat as I typically just log in to PVP and that is all. What I have chosen to do in the post 2.0 world is that I essentially park my toon on Makeb (which thankfully has a PVP mission terminal) and I run dailies while waiting or queues to pop. It beats standing around Fleet staring at everyone while I wait and I am making 7k-8k per mission minimum. If I complete the whole set of dailies that's 100k or more (per day mind you) and I am getting my PVP matches in. It's really about what your priority is.

I answered my own question after running around... Picture of the entrance is at: http://imageshack.us/a/img526/1504/secrethideoutentrance.gif

Does anyone have information on how to get into the Secret Hideout on Quesh for this quest? I have been riding around outside here for quite a while looking for an entrance of some sort.

We don't need a video game to do that... the internet already does that for us in all walks of life. If you ever get bored go to CNN or some other news site and read the comments at the bottom of the stories. That is where you see the true power of the internet in allowing people to act like complete idiots, d-bags, [insert other bad words here] as much as they want with no repercussions. ... but I do love the internet so I don't know what to do about it...

I agree with the previous posters that said it is easier to explain objectives to people rather than try to teach them how to play. To take it a step further I have found it very useful to keep instructions simple and easy to understand. For example, in Ancient Hypergate if you are strong enough to guard by yourself I find it best at the start of the match to say "I will get the pylon each round and call for help if I need it. Everyone else please go mid and run orbs and watch operations chat for pylon calls". That usually seems to do the trick... of course there is always the off chance people are so stupid they can't even understand that.

I endorse this message.

OMG!! HAVE. TO. GET. MARAUDER. TO. 50. QUICK. In all seriousness... it does seem a bit out of balance right now so hopefully they fix something. I am only level 45 right now on my Marauder and I can leap into a group on Void Star, drop a force crush on someone and then SMASH 5 people for about 3500 damage each (nothing like one move tossing 17.5k damage into your total bucket). It's quite laughable really. But I will say I have never had this much fun...

They probably f'ed it up... I have been a subscriber since Day 1 and just last week I crafted a purple Level 40 implant for one of my toons and the game told me "This item is not able to be used because of your subscription status". I submitted a ticket and it was fixed the net day but that points to poor testing on BW's part... but seriously, if they need developers we can do this for them: boolean free2play = playerObject.isNotSubscriber(); if ( free2play ) { xp = xp * .7; } applyXP(); Edit: Forgot to add this line...since this is Stun Wars... applyStunsToPlayer(); There you go BW... you have my address, please send me a check in the mail for that work. Thanks!

To this point, once you get up in the 30s the group rotation I typically use as a Rage Spec (one silver, three regular as an example) is as follows. I leap to the silver mob, hit him with a Force Crush (higher level) or Force Choke to get 4 stacks of Shockwave and then Smash. In some cases the Smash will kill all the normal level mobs or get them to 25% or lower at least. Then hit the higher level mob with a Ravage. At this point you have them pretty low and can do your basic attacks until you get a change for an Obliterate/Smash combo again. It goes pretty quick and I can mow through large caves full of mobs with no downtime.

I was feeling the same way up to about Level 30 on my Marauder (especially in PVP). He is now level 45 and starting to really come into his own for crazy DPS in PVP. I hit 300k in a warzone yesterday (when everyone else was at 150k or less Damage) when he was down at level 43 or 44. You can turn out the damage especially if the other team is nice enough to group up together around you. One thing I have noticed with Marauder vs. other classes is that now I am excited for a 1v1 matchup... if you can get the jump on another player with your leap, you are pretty much guaranteed to have them at 50% health before they are able to really start doing anything. I have even had instances at these higher levels now of taking on 2 players at a time (sometimes 3) in PVP and killing them all with some health left (granted a Medpac and Undying Rage help factor in sometimes).

The only strange part about that is the fact that you went from a PVP server to a PVE server. They did a couple consolidations so it is possible you moved from one server to another server and then to a third server in the time you were gone. I was on Corellian Run originally and we had some servers join us there and then in the second merge (down to present day), we were moved to Shadowlands.

I do think a lot of it is quality over quantity. I know for us we try to make sure we aren't inviting everyone we see but rather like to find good players and talk to them about joining. The goal of a great guild should never be about just pure numbers but rather about how people get along, work together and interact with each other. We run 8-man ops a couple of nights a week, are getting the 16-man ops going right now and also do ranked warzone nights (actually had 2 8-man ranked teams running last week the same night) during the week. At any given point during prime time hours we have between 5 and 20 players on which suits us just fine. Our makeup tends to average out around the player in his/her early-30s with a full time job (and one Irishman that likes to jump back on after bar hopping) that play a lot at night and on weekends so obviously there are low points and high points in how many are on during the day. We schedule things accordingly with most planned activity between 6pm-11pm server time.. I think we are all happy with our level of activity and would rather keep it this way than sacrifice the togetherness we have for greater numbers.
