Greetings Begeren Colony! I bid you a hello and welcome from <The Galactic Republic> | Community of Players We are an RP focused community, but we don't "solely" focus on RP, and it would be unwise to consider us hardcore RPers. Most of the community is made up of RPers and we are RP friendly. That being said, we don't force people to RP, just highly encourage it. Along with our RP, we also have multiple members and officers that are PvP, and PvE focused. So by joining you can expect not only RP events but PvP matches and Operations. That being said we are currently looking for experienced PvPers and PvEers to fill out our Ranked PvP teams and people to run Hard/Veteran mode Operations. We also focus on conquest and heroics as well. We are LGBT+ and Veteran friendly and provide an environment where people can express themselves freely without fear. ===== We have multiple groups that people can be categorized into based on the community’s RP. Even if you are not an RPer, your rank will be based on these RP themes. Each has a leader that you be answering to and are in charge of providing you with things to do. Those leaders and the groups they are in charge of are below. :The Galactic Senate: Leader: Praeskiss The Galactic Senate as it name implies is the political aspect of our community. It is the glue that keeps all other parts of our Republic groups together. Players who desire to dabble in this part of the community will be shown a list of Republic worlds that they may represent within the Senate, which holds weekly RP meetings. :Republic Military: Leader: Kreseros The Republic Military is currently comprised of our standard soldiers divided into squads led by Sergeants. As we grow as a community it will branch out to encompass Special Forces(Think Havoc Squad), Strategic Information Service(SIS), and the Republic Navy. :The Jedi Order: Leader: Taralana The Jedi Order in our community is not so much THE Jedi Order, but an attempt to rebuild what was shattered by the Eternal Empire. In this group you can expect a genuine and immersive training by people who are well versed in the Jedi ways and will come out with a sense of fulfillment that will help you train future Padawans. :Galactic Privateers: Leader: Ree’ki The Galactic Privateers is a loose band of Smugglers, Pirates, and Outlaws given Republic authorization to perform their various services as long as they do not harm Republic interest, and even then they are permitted to ride the line on what that entails. Unlike the other groups, its ranking system works more around reputation. Start off as being called “Rookie” and earn your way up to titles such as “Ace” and “Hotshot”. ===== Our guild has certain requirements. You must be over 18 years of age. If you are under 18 years of age you must have a parent or guardian confirm that they are okay with you joining a community made primarily of adults. You must have a Star Wars, RP-styled name even if you are an RPer. So no xPewxPewx or Deeppownage69. This rule may have an exception the PvP or PvE skill of the player is high and the character will be used solely for those aspects of the game. We do ask that if you desire to attend RP events, that you have another character with an appropriate name in the guild to attend with. You must be open to RP. We don't force RP, but it happens a lot and we encourage it. Anyone caught guilty of trolling or undermining our RPers will face appropriate punishment, but in the act of fairness RPers who undermine PvP or PvE can and will face the same consequences. ===== While I still have your attention I would like to explain the manner in which one hopes to obtain promotions within the community. After careful consideration, we have come up with the P.I.C System which will be detailed below. Participation: Ensure to take part in guild activities and events. Showing up to events and contributing will impress the person in charge of your promotion. This is not the only way to follow Participation, but it is a good example. Initiative: Make an effort to better the guild and improve the community without being told specifically what to do. Good examples would be recruiting for the community, starting random pick up RP with other members currently online, contributing to our collection of lore on our website, and helping PvPers and PvEers practice their rotations and abilities. Competency: Most importantly show that you’re good at these tasks. Eagerness to do well is all fine and dandy, but failure and sloppy management will not be met with a reward. As a final note on how to progress through the ranks in the community. You are only required to sign up on our website if you desire to get more than one promotion. The reason for this is because once you reach the second promotion, you are given authority within the guild to manage events and gatherings officially, which requires participation on the website. Those in this rank have the ability to judge whether or not someone gets a promotion from the initial rank to the rank you were just promoted from. Because of the merit-based P.I.C system, every rank has the ability to rank lower ranks up. This is because those who earn these ranks show that trust and responsibility can be placed upon them without fear of things going wrong. As a final note on this part. Signing up on the website before you get to the point of the requirement is a perfect instance of performing all three points in the P.I.C system. ===== Still with us? Well, the steps needed to join is to either sign up on the website where everyone will see you and have a chance to invite you or to contact the above-listed leaders. For more information and to sign up for membership, please follow this link to our website. https://begerencommunity.enjin.com/therepublic ===== As a final note to give hope to the future. Our community is still growing and we hope that you are willing to contribute to that growth. We have plans on starting an Imperial sister guild <The Sith Empire> once the <The Galactic Republic> is fully operational.

Eric, you seem like a nice guy and I kinda feel bad everyone is targeting you, but you're the in between guy. I don't know if you've tried, but you haven't, you should try telling people that every single thread you've made in the past couple months about the game's development have resulted in outrage and people unsubbing. Seriously. You seem like a nice guy, but your updates don't help public opinion of Bioware at all.

I've had a ticket open since December and no response.

So I'm doing the Gree event on my warrior. I show up to one of the objectives right before a Jedi arrives and summon the NPC. While I'm fighting the NPC, the Jedi attacks it and helps me get the kill. I /thank the Jedi and when she summoned the NPC for her objective I chose to step in and help as repayment for her aid. This was not time consuming in the slightest. In fact it sped things up since we both dished out damage. I often see people complain about others waiting by or stealing objectives so I wanted to give an example of the opposite happening.

Oh my bad!

In case some of you haven't checked. Woooooo!!!

So I was wondering if anyone had a list of recurring characters. Throughout all class stories there are moments where you can either kill or spare someone. A handful of them end up returning in the final chapter or in the final cutscene. Does anyone have a list of all recurring characters? I've been looking forever and can't find anything save for single mentions.

This isn't an appeal to Bioware, it's an appeal to those here on the forums. I can often see some hostility between those who like the level syncing and those who hate it. Can we all just agree that it has good and bad aspects and desire an on and off switch? I get why some people hate it, but personally I love it since no matter how far I level I'll always be able to play with my friends and if I overlevel things will remain a challenge. So those who are like me can enjoy it and those who don't like the feature can simply ignore it. This is such a minor thing to be angry at other players for and I feel we should be unified in striving for a fix that would please everyone involved. I hope this inspired at least one person to not be hostile to someone who likes/hates this one part of the game.

fas·cism ˈfaSHˌizəm noun an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization. synonyms: authoritarianism, totalitarianism, dictatorship, despotism, autocracy;

Oh my bad. I was thinking of <Imperial BlackOps> http://www.jediswtor.com/ http://jediswtor.com/blackops

What's worse is when these people try to apply this ignorance to RP... Imperial social reformist. Jedi and Sith who hook part time and expect no judgement. Mandalorians complaining about the evils of war and being emo about their dead friends. People who think the Empire has the US constitution. I'm tolerant of people ignorant of lore. Heck, I've been known to help people get into it because of an interest in RP. However when you get shouted at OOCly by half naked Sith just because you ICly expected even a small amount of decorum it just gets tiring. PS. Also aren't you part of the "Jedi Order" community of guilds? All the other members I've met say you all are doing well when it comes to RP.

This is not me trying to start something. This is a legitimate question. How is logging in to stand still effort? No seriously. Please explain to me how remaining motionless in any way takes skill or energy? I would understand if it was a tough fight, or a really hard puzzle or heck, even something with a small timeframe only at one time of day. Standing around for random chance isn't effort. It's literally sitting still, standing doing nothing, and wasting time that one could use to be productive. People have jobs, school and general task and errands to be done. If you have hours of free time, find staring at the environment entertaining and infinite patience that's fine. Good for you, patience is a virtue and all that. Though don't you dare suggest that people who would rather do something that takes actually takes effort and skill to do something, other than simply waiting, are in the wrong.

This ^^^ The thing is that even with all the issues, no one who formed a rationally constructed complaint should be called a poor customer or poor human being. Which they have by the militant defenders, which you are not. As with my, admittedly paraphrased, examples I acknowledge that people can be unfair with their complaints and down right spoiled in some instances, but here's the thing. Bioware is a company, and thus can be considered a single entity. The actions of one can reasonably make others in the company look bad. However this is not the same case with the player base. No one represents anyone other than themselves aside from maybe the instance of a guild. People may use "community" as an example of us being a single entity to be judged, but that's not the case. I have no idea who any of you are, nor do I really care. No offense. No one here is my friend or peer and your opinions don't represent mine nor do mine represent yours. We don't have managers and we don't have higher ups. Bioware does and we can be bothered if they're not doing their job.

What outright lie? Both sides either defend or criticize Bioware to unfair extremes. If you're not sure what I mean by "fairness". This is my response to those who blindly defend Bioware. Since I am aware people can be ******s in general. Just go to the previous page.
