PVP Discussion

Aug26

Due to a…depressing conversation, it came to the conclusion that you can get about 1K Ranked Commendations if you do all your dailies and your weekly each week. Technically a bit more as you’d also get 1K normal commendations (+50 on average per Warzone) and you can trade them in for Ranked…but if you do not do that, it would be about 1-3 weeks to get things.

And…one match of PVP practically breaks me. That much PVP? I think I’d go insane. I can barely do normal dailies.

So, in the meantime, I decided to make a detailed PVP list for whatever I would need:
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Cuffs (1,250 Ranked Commendations + Battle Master Cuffs (550 WC))
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Sash (1,425 Ranked Commendations + Battle Master Sash (625 WC))
Elite War Hero Force-Mystic’s Focus (3,475 Ranked Commendations + War Hero Force-Mystic’s Focus (3,475 Ranked Commendations + Battle Master Force-Master Focus (1,550 WC))
War Hero Force-healer’s MK-1 Relay (1,425 RC + 200 WC)
War Hero Force-healer’s MK-1 System (1,425 RC + 200 WC)
War Hero Force-Master’s Headgear (2,425 RC + Battle Master Hat)
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Boots (2,000 RC + Battle Master Boots)
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Gloves (2,000 RC + Battle Master Gloves)
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Robe (3,200 RC + Battle Master Robe)
War Hero Force-Mystic’s Lower Robe (2,225 RC + Battle Master Bottoms)

Commendation totals: 20,750 RC + 3,125 WC (not counting a Lightsaber)
(eventually I got tired typing it all out so RC = Ranked Commendations and WC = Warzone Commendations)

So, that’ll be like… 5 months or so. …fun 😐

Not to mention the fact that I still need the Consular’s Exalted Boots and Gloves…. v-v Which is 300K. Then, switching War Hero stuff into my Hat, Boots, Gloves, Top, and Bottom… Which is 90K per item x5 which is 450K. Then, adding augments to 12 items (already have in my top and bottom)… 30K x12 = 360K. Not to mention getting those 12 augments. I mean, yes, I can make them, but I need more of those slicing things first :/ Which are super expensive. Regardless, we are already up to 1,110,000 credits.

Lightsaber will be last (if I do so at all) until they add a Magenta Expertise crystal :/ (For the record though, it costs 3,475 RC + Battle Master Lightsaber (1,550 WC) so that’s 24,225 RC + 4,675 WC)

Edit: And considering how much it bothers me when I get killed in PVP (especially by someone I know), it makes it that much harder to want to bother. ._.

A Treasure Hunt

Aug26

When the only stuff you need can be gotten from HM EC raids (which you’re not a part of) or Nightmare Pilgrim (who can only be done every 5 days as it is), you get to a point where you become a bit stuck. If only because people keep making rumors from the Wonderous/Wondrous Egg, you can’t level alts until someone is feeling better, and you are waiting for Customer Service to respond back about your Zabrak problem is besides the point.

There may not be a prize (or at least not for you), but sometimes the experience and adventure of something is more than enough–and if there’s one thing I really do enjoy in this game…it’s exploring. So, when I stumbled upon a certain topic by certain people I happen to know and saw a little Treasure Hunt for a prize, I was excited to try as well. It didn’t matter that it was over. It didn’t matter that the prize had been won. Just the little bit of adventure was enough for me.


So, here are the lovely 3 places that needed to be found:

Thank you for the fun~

(as for why the Hoth one is such low quality… My screenshot button was failing so I had to record it)

Datacrons + Disappointment

Aug26

If you don’t mind not leveling super fast, it doesn’t hurt to go a bit out of your way to get datacrons. The reason I say this is because something I noticed when going back to help people with datacrons…it feels like it takes forever.

If you keep an eye out for where datacrons should be while heading there, it is actually a bit shorter since a turn out of your way and then back to your quests isn’t so crazy as going all over and deeper and then the long ride to a whole other section of a planet (or off it) when you finished it a long time ago.

Regardless, I still like helping, but I’m glad we did it the way we did on our main characters. Going back for some on Amidaia will suck 😛

Now, moving on to the latter part of my subject…I know a lot of people knew I was working very hard to save up for the Zabrak race so I could make Zoara, right?

I hit the 1.5 million so I asked my boyfriend to lend me 150K so I wouldn’t be completely poor. He did as he was excited too. I buy the race, I delete place-holder Zoara, I go to make permanent Zoara and there’s a problem. I noticed that when you had something special unlocked with Twi’lek, there were little yellow lines (along with the text being a glowy yellow with a little shield icon) where the unlocked stuff were–these were not there for Zabrak. I shrugged it off and went through the skins but nothing. No pink skin at all.

So, I hop on the Imperial side and check classes that normally do not have Zabrak as an option (Like Imperial Agent). They have just the Republic options. When I check a class that normally does (for example, Sith Warrior), they just have the Imperial options. It’s…very odd. I had no issues with unlocking Twi’lek, but Zabrak seems to be a mess. I went and sent a bug report in 🙁

I just hope they can fix it ASAP or like activate something in the background for it rather than having to wait for a patch…because next patch, the Vendor is being removed and I’ll feel…really bad. Just need to hope there’s some support around to answer my ticket today 🙁 Shall be online most of the day praying for it, really~

A nice pick-me-up :)

Aug26

Well, a friend surprised me with a nice gift–an Advanced Mettle Mod 26! 😀 Which was the last one I needed! I am now in all Rank 61’s/26’s with the exception of my Hilt (which I will need to do HM EC for). I’m just…so happy <3 It is nice to be so close! Edit: And I may be going to Nightmare Pilgrim on Tuesday! Double yay! *HOPES FOR BOOTS* And then I'll just need to beat him one more time for my Aratech Coral! 😀
