Anyone on the EU side looking to try SWTOR out or looking for a guild we have active Guilds on The Red Eclipse, for both factions, regularly raiding etc
Check out http://www.light-knights.com
We are a multi gaming community and play numerous online/mmo type games in a casual manner. -

60 day time card 7.99 (ie less than half price)
(I bought a load at 2.99 before they went into admin, yes they work fine with COH
)

When I started playing the game was only PvE, then PvP was tacked on and despite assurances that powers wouldn't change because of PVP they inevitably did. Which soured my opinion of PvP (but not as much as the PvPers and their toxic attitudes did)
I now (actually since about i8-9) don't even consider PvP in this game, I only play it for the PvE. Maybe if there were objective driven instances (Warzones/Battlefronts etc) then it would be more interesting. -

Just becasue the TORtanic is handing out free lifeboats after hitting their latest iceberg, that doesn't mean that better games need to follow their lead

My main defender has 7 toggles and my main scrapper has 11, I applaud this change

I don't find Redside difficult I just find it boring fighting Arachnos or Longbow again and again. Plus if you solo you pretty much do the same arcs.
Blue side after level 15 you get so much different stuff to do until around 30.
I also don't get the obsession with reaching the level cap as fast as possible...
I also don't understand the fact that you seem to want to do co-op zone stuff above all else, you are then doing the same content regardless of whether you are red or blue. You may as be a rogue, then you can get the best of both worlds anyway, solo on redside and flip to blueside to run TFs or teams or whatever. -
One of my subs ran out last week, the other has a couple of days left. No reason to resub at present as there is nothing I want to do in game, I can't motivate myself to level yet another alt when I know that staff will get released at some point in the future.
Obviously stuff is on sale to try and tempt people to spend any points they have before staff is released so that they have to buy more points. -

It's been expressed in multiple instances.
Also, it is possible that there are multiple perceptions present at the same time.
At present there are quite a few more non melee sets to purchase than melee sets as far as i'm aware. -

Quote:If the paragon market sold different skins for combat pets then I'd be overjoyed, vanity pets just leave me cold but i know there are fans of them out there, I just don't understand why they'd spend so much on them.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Personally, I'm also in the camp that has no use for vanity pets. I've never been one for the Pokemon approach to in game pets, but that's my personal preference. Perhaps I'm privileged in the fact that I can see that there is a significant portion of our Community who is excited by vanity pets and show us so. It may not be good for me, but it's good for other people who really enjoy this type of content.

Quote:However there are many other games out there, I'll move my subbing over to one of them and staff will be waiting for me when I return.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Pretty sure a couple of months is overkill if all you're waiting for is Staff.

I'm not frustrated, simply disappointed. I have been waiting patiently to roll a new staff melee alt to go through the new low level content from I22. I have no interest in playing controllers, dominators or masterminds so the new sets that have been released recently have no interest to me at all. I'll be taking a break from the game and checking back in a couple of months as it's not worth my while paying a sub at the moment.
I think releasing vanity pets at ridiculous prices can be seen as more of a grab at peoples points/money. -
Quote:Personally I have no alts that I want to level currently. The two 50's that I want to get Incarnated out have tier 4 abilities in all of their slots. I have enough inf to buy whatever build I need for any character so no need to try and earn that.Originally Posted by Leo_G
Lol this thread makes me laugh.
"What? Vanity pets? Well, I guess I'll go out of my way to make a post explicitly describing how I'm *not* going to buy it, how I'd have rather had a new powerset despite having a powerset released only *2* weeks ago. Yup, I'm gonna go play something else. I hope you feel bad, Paragon Studios."
Lol while I'm sure the guys at the studio are crying their eyes out about how displeased you are (no, they're not really), you don't have to be complete wet blankets about it.
If you want to play staff so bad, can't you do that on beta right now?
I'm looking forward to playing a Staff Melee alt, but as it's not released there seems to be very little reason for me to pay for the game for the upcoming weeks when I can either go Premium and log in occasionally or play another game that has recently issued a new content pack that I haven't played through yet. It's a simple fact that I would currently be wasting my money by subbing to the game.
As regards the recent sets released, not bought Beast Mastery , zero interest in Masterminds. Not levelled a dark troller/dominator as I have no interest in those powersets. -
Quote:We are only getting more stuff if we pay more.Originally Posted by Lothic
I continue to be amazed at how people can seemingly complain more now that we are getting -more- stuff than we ever did before.
The counter-intuition behind this state of affairs is almost mind-boggling.
People are actually complaining about wanting to buy something but them not making it available yet.
The vanity pets feel like its a 'oh we need to release something every Tuesday because we said we would' type thing. -
Meh, pointless overpriced junk imo.
I'll probably take a break from the game for a couple of months, staff might be released by then. -

Quote:I have played very little in the past week or so, wanting to make a staff melee alt, so can't be bothered with others.Originally Posted by BrandX
I havent felt the need to go out and level or get incarnate xp as Im waiting for Staff Fighting. :/
Can't see how it's good business sense to not let people know when stuff is going to be released. Surely MMO developers have learned by now that communication is key.
Personally I tend to get disinterested in games when I'm waiting for something that doesn't happen, or when you don't get told when it's going to happen (like new patches etc) and there are plenty of competitors out there that I can drift off to. -
I'd be interested in this sort of thig if you haven't already started, set teams can be nice.

A little story. I was mooching in Pocket D on Defiant and asked if any trials were forming. oh yes a MoDD run, to which I replied, sorry, only +1 here so can't help, oh join anyway we only need a few and your buffs will be welcome (I was on my Sonic Def). So I joined and we completed it, and it put me on the road and gave me actual impetus to get my character to +3 so I could do the tougher stuff.
Is it such a bad thing to actually help fellow players even though they may only be +1 or +2, in the end you will end up with a larger pool of precious +3s. Not every +3 is equal either, I was in a similar discussion with someone in a global channel who stated that anything below +3 was useless, it turned out that person still only used SOs, which to my mind made his assertion pointless as he was deliberately hampering his characters by not slotting IOs.
((and in response to the WoW analogy, yes it is pretty much the same thing, all they care about over there is Gearscore, equating your ability with a number, which is exactly what oinly requiring +3s does)) -
This is the build I've ended up going with, softcapped to energy/neg energy/fire/cold and easily softcap s/l with one application of divine avalanche.
Went for the Agility Alpha, the one thing I've been surprised about is the amount of endurance I seem to use now has gone up a lot, my blue bar actually moves now, whereas
in my prior build it just didn't drop below around 90%.

Why no decent slotting in powersink and lightning field? It doesn't matter what defense you have if the mobs trying to hit you have no end.
-
I did what I wanted with converters. I got everything I need for my main scrappers upcoming rebuild, and made a few bn inf plus now have a stock of PVP IOs
I've noticed the market has rebounded a bit on some stuff already (Glad def procs were down to 200-250m yesterday, back up to 400m now) -

I do get the frustration of folks who have a large bank of Astral or Empyrean merits and can't yet spend them on this, but as long as it comes along in the next few weeks, I have hard time being angry about it.
I'm fairly cynical, but I am not sure it follows that this is a ploy to get people to buy Super Packs for merits to fuel these conversions with. Could it be? Yeah. But if you don't want to do that, just wait. Why wait?
(1) If you wanted to do this to make in-game Inf on the market, so does everyone and their dog's fleas. You probably won't make what you were hoping to, because prices are diving.
(2) If you wanted to do this because you wanted access to things that were wildly expensive by your standards, prices are diving. Try to buy them outright and skip converting for now.
Prices will likely rise after the initial glut caused by tons of people doing the same thing at the same time. Over time, this crescendo of conversions will become a background hum. The bargain prices will rise to some higher level (still lower than before) and it will become less attractive to buy and more attractive to sell than it will for the next week or so.
I had a stock of over 700 reward merits and 600m inf on one of my alts. I bought up cheap PVP IOs and converted them, selling the better stuff pretty much instantly i then progressed to purples doing the same.
in the end, my character now has 1.9bn inf, A full set of Ragnarok, a full set of Apocalypse, various PVP IO procs, and has sent unslotted and converted (due to having far too many catalysts) purple ATOs to various alts.
Quite a nice patch I'd say
-
I've taken a few breaks from the game but the one constant favourite character is my Kat/WP which is why I need to revisit his build which currently still hasn't got inherent fitness
came up with this build, but am sure that there are better options, inf isn't a problem and i already have pretty much everything i need for this build (other than access to patron pools which I am in the process of switching sides to get)
i currently have Agility Alpha
