Bump. We now are pretty sure that Rishi and Yavin 4 won't be reappearing in the schedule till at least September... and you will definitely have a bottleneck, as I've described above. Nobody will be able to complete the 'Galactic Conqueror' meta now for months and months, which seems to be completely counter-productive; people will lose interest in the whole thing rather than stick around waiting for the one event that contains these planets to come back into play. Revenge of the Revanites last appeared on February 13th. This means it will have been six months at least between Rishi/Yavin 4 invasions, even if it shows up in late August after the current event schedule has elapsed. Is that really what was intended?

It's sort of already happening on our server, The Red Eclipse. Our guild is at 11/18 planets conquered, we are by no means one of the most proficient conquerors around, but looking ahead at the schedule I can see that it's going to be a long wait before we get the Galactic Conqueror title, for one reason - the difficulty of capturing Rishi and Yavin 4. Rishi and Yavin 4 only come up on one event: Revenge of the Revanites, and they are unique in this regard. All other destinations show up on at least two events. RotR isn't scheduled to reappear until at least May, and it is possible that by then our guild could be 15/18 or even 16, with just Rishi and Yavin 4 needed to finish off the meta achievement. However that doesn't mean that we'll be able to conquer Rishi or Yavin 4 when they *do* reappear, because some of the biggest guilds on our server *also* still have those planets to conquer. And also by then I expect some of the less progressed guilds currently at 8 or 9 conquests to have also caught up, since they will be conquering planets while the rest of us wait for the schedule to give us the opportunity to nail those elusive last two destinations. In short, I expect - not right now, but certainly in a few months - a certain degree of unhappiness with 10 or more guilds with nothing to do in Conquest except wait for Rishi and Yavin 4 to show up, and since they don't show up for more than 6 weeks at a time, you're looking at a long, backed up "waiting list" for this event. My suggestion is simple; add Rishi and Yavin 4 to at least one more event. With two shots instead of one, the bottleneck gets eased a little. I'd recommend Total Galactic War since it's easy to justify the war spreading to two extra destinations lore-wise; alternatively perhaps they could be added to one of the events that only has three destinations currently. Thanks for your time.

So, the Death Mark conquest event is over, but I have the "Tatooine: Rampage" conquest achievement still in my tracker, and now can't see how to remove it since the details of the previous week's conquest has disappeared from the relevant panel. Can anyone please help me? Thanks, Zimbra

Same here, was 100% on that event (including Rancor and Explosion hidden achievement) and now am back to 0/295. Hopefully it will be repaired soon.

Exactly. TRE is suffering, The Progenitor seems to be fine, but of course all my good ships are on TRE. Real shame for us.

Yeah, that's what I get too. "NaNs" in the team score section and my ship flies in circles... ...without even having had the screen where I get to CHOOSE which ship to fly. Auto-revolving insta-death.

Still looking for 2-3 core members for 8 Player Hard Mode raiding. At this point all roles are being considered as we have a decent amount of flexibility in the line-up. http://stars-end.guildlaunch.com/ is the place to be, to make a recruitment post and tell us a bit about yourself! Alternatively, contact Zimbra, Glandridi, Za'el, Xu'Khano, Forgotten or Snyk for more information! Best wishes, Zimbra

Hey folks, Just a li'l bump to let people know that we are recruiting ALL Roles for PvE at the moment as we try to increase our core membership and build up to 16 player raiding! We are also in the process of recruiting new players for PvP, if you're interested then by all means approach Snyk, Xu'Khano or Forgotten for more information. Alternatively, you can check out our website at http://stars-end.guildlaunch.com/ and drop us a PM or a message in the forums there. Happy Gaming! Zimbra

We have changed our Operations times slightly, now raiding from 7pm-10pm UK time (8pm-11pm Central Europe time). We are at the moment very heavy on melee DPS and tanks, but we are very open to applications from healers and ranged DPS. We have completed all Story Mode content in 8 player after our first full week of raiding and are looking for more people to expand into 16 player raids, as well as starting hard modes - so if you find either of these types of PvE challenge interesting, then we would love to hear from you!

Bump... Still looking for players interested in giving the Operations a bash, especially ranged DPS and healers!

bump!

<Star's End> Open for Recruitment Star's End is a new English-speaking Imperial Guild, now recruiting for endgame PvE and PvP oriented players. Once we have the numbers for it we shall be running three Operations per week, starting with 8 player events and hopefully moving up to 16 player events before too long. We will also be running warzones on off-nights on a more casual "come-as-you-are" basis. PvE ALL roles and classes will be considered for PvE recruitment, as we attempt to delve deeper into Hard Mode fights and build up to 16 player raiding! We have two or three spaces in our 8 player hard mode group that need filling, so if you have the gear and the will to fight, then please contact us! We are willing to help people with their gear and specs (we run HM flashpoints of course), so don't worry if you don't yet have full raiding gear! We firmly believe that a strong will to play the game, to learn and improve, and a friendly and social guild atmosphere are far more important, and that gear will come in time for everyone who loves to play MMO endgame raiding. So, if you've always wanted to give raiding a try but were worried about lack of experience, now is the time to give us a call and see what it's all about! Currently our raiding nights are planned for: Thursday, Sunday and Monday from 19:00-22:00 UK time (that's 20:00-23:00 in Western Europe, and 21:00-00:00 in Finland/Eastern Europe). We use Teamspeak 3 for communication, and all raiders will be expected to at least use the TS3 to listen (tank players will also be expected to have a microphone, as communication is so very important for the tanking role). We also use the Torparse combat-logger to monitor our own performance in raids and to ensure that we keep at the top of our game. In short, we are looking for people who are prepared for a challenge, willing to learn and be outstanding team players. If that's you, then we'd love to hear from you! PvP and Social Members If you are not interested in the PvE and simply want to be a member of our PvP community, or a social member (perhaps you have a friend who has also decided to join us, and would like to share guild-chat with them!) then this can be arranged as well. PvP in Star's End can happen at any time of the day; we often organise both max-level warzone teams, and those in lower brackets for players who are newer to the PvP world and would like to try it out in a more relaxed, less gear-centred setting! Both types of PvP event are "ad-hoc", that is, carried out as and when people want them. When not raiding, several of our officers can be found indulging in the respected and time-honoured sport of Jedi-killing, so it won't be hard to find some company on the battlefield! All we ask from our non-raiding members is that they respect the RP community with which we have all chosen to integrate ourselves (that means, choosing a 'reasonable' character name and not having a reputation for trolling/harassing RPers). Although we consider ourselves "RP-lite" as a guild, we do have a backstory which can be found on the guild website (stars-end.guildlaunch.com), and members are welcome to use this as a basis for roleplay, and add to it with their own contributions. We certainly have not yet ruled out the possibility of RP events in the future if enough of our members wish it, but we are focusing for now on getting our Operations Teams up and running! Contact Information If you have any questions, you can always contact us in-game: Zimbra, Glandridi, Za'el, Forgotten, Xu'khano and Snyk are your officers, so please don't hesitate to ask us. You can also reach us through our forums (stars-end/guildlaunch.com/forums/). To apply to our guild, you will find a Recruitment Forum in the 'Public' section. Please read the announcement there, and make your own application post. We hope to hear from you! Happy gaming, Zimbra

bump please, Looking specifically for HK-51 conversation affection gains on Makeb, but no info on Torhead. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can anyone please help me out with the "Unable to start parser at this time" error? I have looked at the link alluded to on the site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287932) but I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do to fix this problem.

Thank you, very helpful. Also, Justin, the "evil" in your name is a redundancy. Z.
