Good morning, This is Sal#8090 on Discord. I'm part of the guild The Crimson Guard (and our Pubside Guild - The Lost Guard) and we are actively recruiting all all players on Star Forge that are interested in leveling, Operations, Flashpoints, PVP... We are a very active guild and you can find us on Discord here: https://discord.gg/RwCMgys9a3 Currently, we looking for (or I should say I am looking for) a couple good healers and tanks that are interested in Operations. We have two Progression Raid groups running currently and would like to have enough people interested in doing more 8m and 16m HM/NiM raids. All levels are welcome. New players or returning players are also encourage to reach out and see what we're all about. Thanks so much, hopefully we'll see you in game! v/r Sal Contact myself on Discord (Sal #8090) or Emperor Srednaz (EmperørSrednaz#2020) for a guild invite!

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for an active progression raid team. I'm currently on Jedi Convenant and would like to find a guild that has a progressive raid team that runs weekly. My main is a merc healer, but I have a sorc healer and operative that are well geared as well. Primary dps is maurader and merc, but I have other classes as well if need. I can tank, but don't prefer it. I've done most HM Content up to the new Operations, limited experience in NM mode, but I'd like to get there. Please contact me if you have an open spot for a healer or dps. Thank you. Sal

The conquest in this game is broken. Crafting has been broken. Nothing sustains long time players, it's all about trying to get in new players into the game and make money on the Cartel Market. I've spent so much time and money on this game only to see it go completely to the trash can! I love Star Wars and have been here for three year...four years now, can't remember, longer than I can think back at this point and the changes that they've made really make it impossible for an end game player to still have any fun. I've never played a game as long as SWTOR. I love coming online and chatting with people while running a raid, and we even waited over a year for a new raid. But now it's like why even bother to log on. You can't run several toons of your own through conquest. You can hardly find a good raid team. Even PVP now seems slow since it only counts if you win. Comeon Dev's pull your heads out of your ***** and stop messing with a system that isn't broken.

This^^^^

Well said. I agree with this as well. When you were clearing the harder content Operations with relative ease and now you're forced to run repeated runs of Eternity Vault HM and Karaga's Palace HM just to get the same old CmD crates and crafting materials that everyone already has and agrees are complete wastes of time, it's not even worth it. Why carry on doing the same thing, alas at a much lower level. Sure make the Operations harder, okay, but at least give some incentive for doing the content. You've made a large part of the game unrewarding and basically made the Lord of the Sith you've spent hours and hours getting to the highest level possible, only to knock them back to a Lvl 1 Sorc with a lighting blast and a single saber strike. Perfect (hopefully you can detect my loathing sarcasm here)!

bump!!!

Also another truism. Legacy wide CXP. Awesome!!!!

SWTOR is by far the best game that I have ever played and I would love to continue playing this game; however, Cashcrusher is right! The game has become so demonized by this progression gearing system, that isn't even progression. You simply run in a random a fashion through whatever type of content that you like to get silly little command crates that you simply delete because the gear you've gotten previously through Raiding religiously, PVPing like a good little Soldier and going through all the levels has gotten you some nice gear. NOW, all of this is new system is somewhat flawed. Sure, you get Command Level which is fine and who cares that it goes to 300 level, that's fine, but you end up not getting set pieces even though some of my guildies are up to Tier II already and they don't even have a beginning gear set. Ridiculous! That's hours and hours of playing time folks. Me as a casual gamer who likes to have fun and Raid in large groups, ALL IS LOST! No one wants to raid anymore! There's no *********** point! You can't get a group together because to get better gear you might as well just do PVP. OPS are now dead and that sucks because it's simply why I play the game anymore. I love big group content. I cancelled my subscription before because we weren't getting any new OPS and then with the hope of the admins adding a new OP in 5.0 I resubbed. Well, thank you so f-ing much, not a new OP but a whole bunch of useless Uprising which are short, painless and quite frankly BORING! The story line is fine, I know some people play for the story line and that's great. Love the new stuff, but it's not why I play. If the admin would spend a little more time and listen to their players more they might make a hell of a lot more money from resubs than losing people to attrition. As a coach and trainer myself, it's a lot easier to keep your current customers happy than having to spend millions in marketing to get new players for a short while until they hit level 70 and get bored. Sorry, but facts is facts. Keep people happy and you might have a chance to make a couple more million on you silly cartel market upgrades. The game is dying and it's sad. I probably won't play much more after my sub runs out simply because I'm not impressed with this new system. It's just not fun anymore. Really, really sad after two years of finding something I really liked. Fix the gearing system or return it back to the way it was...keep your command system, but give better options or give out a full set piece that a person can use for grinding their asses off. Not everyone has the kind of time to devote their life to SWTOR. Just my 0.02. Sal

Hey Everyone, Hope you're all having a fantastic morning or evening where you're at while we wait for the servers to reboot. That being said I just wanted to say how awesome this game is... I just started playing a couple months ago and absolutely became addicted to it. Staying up on late night ventures trying to stay up with the story boards, while leveling aggressively towards 60lvl. Apparently, I'm finally there and now it comes time to do some nasty flashpoints, ops, and pvp battles which I so enjoy...however, impossible to really participate as necessary without a bunch of other people. Hence joining my guild the Blood Hunters. We're a bit of this that and the other...we're not too techy, we like to play, we don't harass one another, but we're willing to help out if someone needs us. Currently one of our many goals is to build up enough higher level players that we can have our own Guild ship, build an OPS / Flashpoint team and a PVP team (which I would be in charge of). On a side note: PVP reminds me of the old 007 game we used to play on SNES, which I was most often dubbed Mostly Harmless, Mostly Armless -- so in this case SWOTOR is better since I at least have a lightsaber most of the time! At any rate if you've gotten through my babbling, Blood Hunters, actively recruiting new members, we're a family type guild sponsoring warriors from either faction both Republic and Empire side looking for members interested in just playing the game with others and having a good time. We're a solid bunch of this, that and the other. Try to hook up with us when we're online and we'll get you a spot. Contact Rammstein or Salinasvel through email in the game and we'll get you a spot. Current server of mine is: Jedi Covenent east coast and I"m online most of the time in the mornings 9am-2pm Mon-Thur, Fri 1pm-5pm and later, Sat-Sun (generally early and late). Also: Looking to recruit PVP players that want to function as a team and thromp some stuff! That is all. Have an awesome day! -Sal

Hey there, If you're looking for a great guild that's easy going and helpful come on over the Blood Hunters. We are actively recruiting new players for a variety of easy game play experience. The more I get into this game the more I realize that it's absolutely necessary to have a larger group of people online that can help you with what you're trying to do. Alas that being fairly impossible if you don't have many friends that are playing with you. Since joining the Blood Hunters it's been increasingly awesome experience. Hook up with Rammstein or myself (Salinasvel) when you're online and we'll drop you a entry. We're pretty open to everyone in a laid back, just like to play, not too techy kind of way. I'm fairly new to the game myself, but I have a lot of success in a short time. Currently trying to get as many 60 lvl players as possible for creating an OPS / Flashpoint group and setup a PVP team. Hope this helps and I'll see ya around. Might want to check which server you're on as well. I'm on the Jedi Covenant server. v/r Sal

I can't even get the items I've acquired and purchased to be placed in my stronghold. Is there some trick to this? v/r SMASH

Thanks that helped. v/r SMASH

I'm honestly not sure how the hell I got these darn side bars out anyway, probably fat fingered them, but now I can't get rid of them? I don't have a screenshot yet, but they just look like inventory boxes lined up along either side of the screen vertically. Anyone else seen this and know how to get rid of it? v/r Smash
