Guild: Galactic Guardians Server: Satele Shan Faction: Republic [NA] Contact me if you are interested in joining our community! or send a message to "Kobrashade" in game Who We Are Our guild is built around fostering a fun, mature, friendly atmosphere for all play styles. Solo / Casual / Competitive + Hardcore players welcome. MISSION: We aim to field competitive pvp and pve teams for those interested while also hosting more laid back guild events in the future such as tournaments, character outfit contests, stronghold contests, racing, hide and seek and more! Ops Team Forming: We have a core group with high end raid experience in other mmorpgs.. such as mythic raiding in WoW etc. We played SWTOR way back at launch and led server first Nightmare EV and KP but have just returned after many many years and have essentially had to relearn the game (which has been a blast). With that said, we are hoping to find more players to finish out an ops group (multiple if possible) to start diving into all of the ops we have missed over the years and to prep for 7.0 and beyond. We intend to complete master ops efficiently while maintaining a fun/friendly atmosphere. *We also intend to have more casual Story/Vet Ops available as well.* Looking for 1 Healer and 1 Tank + 4 DPS for the ops team PvP: Similar to our pve mmorpg experience, our core has high level pvp experience in other mmo's such as Gladiator titles in WoW. We would love to have a strong competitive pvp presence in the community while maintaining a friendly spirit with our competitors! (no elitists/jerks/bullies) Future Guild Members: Be Friendly! Make sure to be friendly with all players on the server and guild mates, no intentional server trolling, bullying, elitism, racism or rude/toxic behavior allowed. Aim to be the best! Have fun! Let's build an awesome Galactic Community! Reach out to me if you are interested and want to know more about our guild!

Hey everyone! I don't know where to begin... I am excited to give SWTOR a try again. I played at launch way back and have mostly played WoW and few other mmos since but looking for a new mmo home. A few friends mentioned swtor has changed quite a bit and I am interested. A few questions I have are geared towards "what is viable" .. not what is the best but I just want to pick something competitive and useful. Went through a recent tuning patch in WoW that was unbearable which really has me worried to pick something that wouldn't be taken to raids etc. I don't know the state of the game, if this is one of those games that can do well and players take a player over a class, or if it is one of those.. only this spec otherwise instant decline. I am interested in a couple viable healing options for raids and pvp, as well as dps options. Again, I don't care to be the top parsing (prefer something more in the middle of the pack tbh) .. I just don't want to pick something that is a dud and has been a dud for a while if that makes sense. Thanks again for your help!

Awesome! Much appreciated! I've followed up and have installed Ts3 as needed. I look forward to chatting and becoming a part of the TAW family.

Thank you for the Quick Response! We will check it out ASAP! I should be under a name starting with Nova or Kobra. Will contact you shortly.

Hello all, After many attempts trying to find a new mmo since SWTOR release, we're finally back. A quick overview of myself and players returning with me is listed below. We are looking for a guild that is active, friendly and completing Content (Raiding). If the guild participates in PvP, that would be a plus. A Quick Overview of Myself and Returning Players -Originally played SWTOR At Release (3 months) - DW Corridor Server - Nightmare Firsts Eternity Vault / Karraga -PvP'd Extensively. Reason for leaving SWTOR so quickly was due to Raid Loot bugs (Defeating bosses on nightmare yet not dropping loot, or glitching out preventing us from looting) and The PvP Mess early on with BM box tokens, Ilum farming etc Other Game Experience- Server First Raiding exp in WoW, EQ2, Rift as well as PvP Ranks such as 2K+ Arenas 2s, 3s, RBGs in WoW. We are very dedicated, competitive but ultimately like to have fun and befriend other members and players. What We are looking for Friendly, Social, Active Guild Raids successfully and possible Openings for lvl 60 Content I understand the the game population is probably a bit low, so we're hoping a steady guild may have some open spots for us. We played Repub initially at launch and are rolling new Sith toons. Our goal is to hit cap prior to the new expansion and re acclimate ourselves to the gameplay so that we can jump right in with the new expansion. Thank you for your time.

yaah ;/ I read some where that they claimed it to only happen to about 5% of their player base but everytime I'm in Ilum ... people are crashinig/dcing left and right in the ops. Seems like just another one of their bandaid attempts. I just wish we could get some more info from them.

Is Bioware doing anything about player crashes/disconnects while in the lagfest Ilum? Will this issue be adressed any time soon? Also, Not even going to get into how bad Ilum is in general. It's prtty clear they are content with the way it is and probably consider that the best Open world pvp they can get. NOTE: Question for Q and A blog feb10th "Jeunedorsk: What will happen in the future for PvP (Ilum, new Warzones ?) Daniel Erickson: We’ve been pleasantly surprised at how popular PvP is in The Old Republic and we’ve been doubling down on our efforts to bring exciting new content and systems to the PvP community. Right now there’s a new Warzone planned for Game Update 1.2 which we’re already testing internally and really enjoying. We can say it’s enabled for same faction vs. same faction play, so if you’ve been playing a lot of Huttball, expect some variety soon! Also coming in 1.2 is the pre-season of our Warzone ranking system, bringing better matchmaking which means better PvP. In the future expect a ton more PvP news as we expand and polish what has proven to be one of the most popular aspects of The Old Republic. We’ve got big plans." Didn't even address Ilum specificly in the answer

http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#600GGrRbd0dGzZf00MZoM.1 That's what I run the most. I've tried out a few builds but the Distrubance regen/ longer weaken/ or 1% less damage all come about equal in diff situations. Some vids for insight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFecowWQEqc (1v1s, 1v3's) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7PPrPLdrw average voidstar healing

Like the poster above, there are definitely instances in which using a relic can really help out in intense situations. And usuing a relic only takes a sec I know where you are coming from though, passive relics can be awesome depending on the effect. Just havent seen them in this game.

Hey guys! Would like to discuss and get some insight on this trinket which drops from HM KP (ops). I have it and it basically states you have a 50% chance to restore 410 health over 3 seconds to an ally. Effect can not occur more than once every 20 seconds. Does NOT stack with similar effects. So, if you were lucky enough to get an instant proc every 20 seconds, that's a base 1230 Healing done a minute. That's maybe 1/2 of a heal I can throw out in 1 second. It's seems a bit lack luster compared to the Tank/Dps trinkets from KP and compared to Columni Relic even. What do you guys think?

I know it's def a wider base (more money) against that type of thing. How about Specific servers where a system like that is in place?

Banking and Losing a percentage of your "in game money" when you die in TRUE open world pvp? IF you remember in EQ2 you had to bank your money so in the case you ran up against enemies while traveling or questing and lost... you wouldnt lose a ton of your money. I'm assuming the player base has gone away from that or have gotten used to the recent mmos. But I personally loved that system. They didnt have to manufacture a zone to funnel people through for "open pvp". It happened everywhere. You travelled in groups so you wouldnt get jumped... had escorts to buy rare mounts out in the middle of nowhere etc? Just curious.. how players feel about a system like that today? It's been a while

I think the more experience you get with it you will fine neat tricks. Being a healer can be prtty awesome and you can turn the tide very easily. Here are some vids if you want to get some ideas Different PvP fights, 1v3's some 1v1's as a healer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFecowWQEqc Just an average WZ game as heals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7PPrPLdrw

^ This. Many of you are missing the point of keeping Salv on CD. You may get an extra Deliv or 2 off while someone else casts Salv. But As soon as they cast, and begin shielding and spot healing as well, they not only are doing the same thing you are but also have a group hot.
