  1. Even when we win, I am not getting 8 medals in the Huttball warzone matches I'm playing. I am playing as a healer, most often. Sometimes a tank. But in most Huttball matches that we do manage to achieve a victory I'm getting about 6 medals at most. Losses I'm lucky to nab 2-3 medals, though. I still hate Hypergate more than any of the warzones, though. Such a horrible map and the point distribution makes no sense at all. I call it the "where objectives are meaningless" warzone. On the flip side, the teams that just love deathmatching and claiming high kill numbers have a ton of fun in there.
  2. I can relate to your frustration, of course. I even have days where I anticipate particularly frustrating runs towards my weekly. Tuesdays are bad. And Fridays, too I think. I had a really bad evening a few weeks ago where I quite literally lost 12 warzones in a row. By the end, I thought I was going to throw my headphones across the room from the pure angst of the experience. However, that's absurdly rare of an occurrence, in my experience. Even when the best premades in the game are playing, I usually manage to eek out at least one or two victories that edge me closer than not to my weekly's requirement. So that even if I'm getting frustrated over getting my healing face smashed into the floor over and over, I do manage to get something accomplished faster than it would've been otherwise. I mean, I can remember very, very clearly when there was no "victories count for 3" in the warzones. Heck, I remember when the weekly requirement was for 20 matches, even. So if it came down to it, I'd rather have the weekly work as it is now, currently, rather than revert to some of the more angsty, painful days gone past. The way it is now is far improved, I mean. And rather than relying upon whatever metric the Devs might assume is "most fair" -- I'd say the status quo is pretty good. Nothing against the Devs, either. It's just, someone else's definition of "fair" can be rather capricious, in fact. I assume you're running your weekly solo-mode, most often? Are you guilded? Consider teaming up with a guildie to make a warzone run more enjoyable, anyway. It does help. I run solo a lot of the time, but my guild also has scheduled pvp events where we group together and chat back and forth through the more angsty matches. Just keep your chin up, regardless.
  3. I so enjoy these sort of contests. I can NOT wait to see if one of my images nabs some recognition!
  4. I am utterly thrilled, guys. Truly, truly excited! I am back to exploring the Galaxy for the best possible shots!
  5. This brings back memories of the corny-as-heck Speeder Races we used to have on Corellia and Tattooine! Ah, good times:
  6. I deliberately cycle through all my GM-hatted toons every Tuesday when I log into game. We have several guilds on Star Forge and a couple over on Satele Shan, too (even if we ARE casual/social now lol), so I make it a point to avoid "losing" any guilds. And even then, it happens every once in a while. So case in point, we had one tiny, little guild we were using to store gear and such into the guild bank. But we decided we were going to sell it off (yes, the whole guild). So I went through the process of moving everything out of the guild bank, off to another one of our banks nearby, and then had our members move their characters. All's good, right? Well, I forgot all about it. Seriously, I forgot we even HAD that guild! So just the other day, I log into a lowbie alt and I'm running around doing class quests and having a dandy time. After several hours, I check to see which one of the guilds my alt was located in, and I realize it's that particular guild. And yep, I no longer hold the GM-hat on any one of my toons. I'm smacking myself, truly. Good news, the dude who got the hat hasn't logged in for 27 days. Fingers crossed, he forgets all about that toon of his, too. LOL.
  7. Colors seem to be muted or stale on Dantooine. I can't put my finger on what's causing the issue. It's as if graphics have been set back, or scaled backwards maybe. It's just, that everything on Dantooine looks like it comes from an older version of the game and the entire FEEL of the zone is off. My character's facial expressions are working correctly but his skin looks fake and rubbery while he's running around on Dantooine. That being said, companion complexions look pretty good. It's strange. I will say that the terrain looks like it will be amazingly pretty, if the graphics and colors are brought in line with the "normal" servers.
  8. My romanced-Warrior went Empire during Iokath. Not from any specific loyalty to Acina, nor even to the Empire itself. Rather, my own Lusiel saw Quinn's presence in that particular instance as an outright threat to him, by Acina. Basically, he was there for Acina to show what leverage she had against my Warrior, in fact. IOW, it was two Sith jockeying for a very particular result. Lucky for Acina, retrieving Quinn's life away from Acina's grasp was more important to my girl than currying favor with a Republic that had already proved untrustworthy. But then I played Iokath with my light-side Marauder. He too viewed Quinn's presence as an overt threat from Acina. Rather than acceding to her attempt at control, however, Sariel scoffed and threw his lot in with the Republic. For him, it was a blatant in-your-face refusal to be controlled by Acina or the Sith Empire. And in the end, Quinn repudiated Acina and the Empire, in lieu of supporting the Warrior who'd won his loyalty away from Baras years earlier. Both possible choices make sense in light of the story. Although in both instances, what becomes obvious is that Quinn's loyalty is first and foremost to the Sith Warrior he serves, as it was to Baras at one time. And Acina never won that much of his loyalty, not ever. I tend to believe he only served Acina inasmuch it would get him closer or return him to the Warrior, in fact. I also think his loyalty to the Empire slowly crumbled during the years he was consistently turned away and then finally imprisoned for trying to rescue the Warrior, too.
  9. Does this include the armor sets currently up for preview in collections? I was assuming they were going to be available in the next pack. But if they're going to be up for direct sale, I am going to be thrilled. Trying to piece together these sets can be frustrating at times.
  10. Exactly. Every single screenie that shows you found the correct location earns 5 points. Additional points are granted to the 3 guys who reach the location faster, is all. But every correct find is worth it. Having said that, the locations can be challenging to find or reach, too. In the end, it's pure fun more than anything.
  11. Feel free to jump in regardless - one of our Hunters only just started going and she's already zooming into the race ... Woot, Spiritbrook! Everyone who runs along will get a prize of some sort and anyone who finds all 20 locations will nab gear and the likes from our guild banks. But it's also cool just to watch, yep, hehe. Oh, and hey ... Target #6 just went up: HERE
  12. Absolutely! Throw up some pics on any of our posted Targets, make sure to include your in-game character handle, and I'll track your points! Cheers!
  13. Check out Target Location #3: HERE And Tarynn remains in the lead ... keep it up, Tarynn!
