Trouble as a Healer

Being a healer can be incredibly frustrating. Besides the tendency to be blamed, there is also a lot expected of you.

I get about 2-3 requests to heal something everytime I log in. And I have a lot of trouble saying no, but sometimes, I’m only popping in for a little bit or I already promised to do something with someone else and people don’t understand that.

I’m not your personal healer. Stop expecting me to be. Stop guilt tripping me if I say I can’t right now.

I don’t have interest in what you’re doing. If I do accept, it is because I am helping you out. The least you can do is not take advantage of it and expect me to drop everything immediately. Seriously.

In a happier note, I found someone who could make the Resolve Hilt 26 for me! Would be about 350K-500K if I supply everything. Not bad. Too bad it’d cost me an extra 500K to buy 6 Molecular Stabilizers and 2 Matrix thingys from my guild which is where the problem with cost comes in :/

Terror from Beyond

So, a new development blog is out! And about the new operation no less ๐Ÿ™‚

Interesting Points and Speculation:
-Clearer picture of final boss and players on platforms. Curious how this will work. Feeling bad for Melee players though.
-Asation is the planet we shall be going to :3
-5 Bosses.
-I’m guessing the Puzzle is where you see players in various colors. Just seen too many things where people go into some kind of computer matrix thing and are a single color ๐Ÿ˜›
-I’m guessing one of the bosses (or maybe a mini-boss) is a boss from a previous instance due to the “In addition to strange creatures and agents of the Dread Masters, players will run into a familiar face on Asation. No spoilers, but hereโ€™s a hint: heโ€™s not going to be very happy to see you.” Would go with Kephess as he appears in the ending cutscene after EC. My only other idea with be Malgus (no real proof over if he died or not), but I do not see him working with the Dread Masters, honestly, so I’ll just stick with Kephess as it makes the most sense considering plot line and all ๐Ÿ˜›
-Gauntlet-Style on the final Boss. Not sure if it means you’ll have to run while being attacked until you are in position to fight or if you will be fighting mobs up until you get to where you fight the boss. Either way, should be interesting.
-Based a lot on execution of Mechanics.
-New set of PVE Gear
-“The hard difficulty mode for Terror From Beyond is balanced for players wearing a full set of Campaign gear, which can be acquired from Operation: Explosive Conflict. Augments will become increasingly more important the deeper you get into Terror from Beyond.” Hopefully the fact that I lack the hilt still won’t make a big deal ๐Ÿ™ …on the otherhand, I doubt I’ll get to do it much anyway ._.

Looking forward to maybe trying it with some people on the Test Server at least. I just hope they’ll let people download the Test Server a bit beforehand. My computer has it, but I have been playing on my Laptop more recently (as my computer needs new parts) and sadly, the Test Server went down before I got the chance to download it on here too ๐Ÿ™ But yeah, would like to download ahead of time so I can patch it and get on ASAP.

Edit: Story Mode confirmed to drop Rakata stuff. Kind of reminds me of how different Normal and HM Lost Island are.

Ranked

So, to my surprise, I got dragged into a Ranked PVP group! One of the top PVP groups on our server no less. They were…versing another group in their guild so that was interesting. Of course, then certain friends of mine also queued and just fsa’fa’;lsfal’as so much craziness. Got to do 2 matches though. Just…2 more to go and I can see my rating!

But yes, I appreciate them bringing me :3 Makes me feel like less of a loser~ I just wish I was better ๐Ÿ™

Edit: So, we were going to do 2 more… but then my laptop decided for the game to completely lag out after I accepted so I had a giant loading screen at the top of Civil War and it kicked me due to it lagging out and there are no words for how depressed I am ๐Ÿ™ this was the last they were going to do tonight too.

Not helping the situation

I’m…really sick of the guild drama. I am not an idiot for feeling different ways about progress. Nor am I an idiot for focusing on the only point you brought up in return. You can add in other elements all you want, but based off the only thing you said at that time, my scenario is also perfectly in line.

Just…stop being such a jerk.

Belsavis done + Esseles

Finally finished Belsavis on Amidaia.

I have to wonder though–why was freeing the Mother a dark side in the first place?

And now that we are in Esseles… and this glowy Sabacc Table is evil. Can I kick one of the players away? XP And so not fair that when nobody is on it, now you can’t play it~

Also, the one guy in the elevator during the talking to maintenance guys (and whether going to try the override or kill them) is super creepy.

Set Bonus Work-around

So, while I did like my circlet thing I decided (if only to get people off my back already) since I don’t actually show it anyway*, I’ll just go ahead and do this for when I should have the full set bonus and this when I could care less. The set bonus is done through a piece of Columi so I still have the extra Willpower.

Essentially, this does give me my 2-set piece bonus back which I did miss again as who knows what will happen with EC HM (though, I should be trying it out with some friends in the guild on Sunday :3). I love you 2-set piece bonus. You actually help.

Moving on, if they do make a circlet that actually looks like a circlet and not some low headband thing or a tiara, then I’ll probably actually show it.

SWTOR Meme: Make Yourself in Character Creator

So, saw another little thingy going around–Create yourself in Character Creator. Thus, here is “myself” as a Jedi Sage–closest I could get anyway. Complexion was the hardest. I wish Eyebrows and Complexion were separate, honestly.

You may notice she doesn’t look too different from Marilea~

Also, Aurorra’s picture has been edited in the Characters section as I didn’t realize she was in the process of blinking when I took that one until now >>
