HM EC Progress and Bunnies

Sep20

So, the HM EC run tonight went well 🙂 We got to the tanks and got them to 52% and 59% on our second go, but then one person had to head to bed so we stopped there. Hoping to try again this weekend. I’m happy it went well–they were all so excited. And considering our tank was a random pick-up person with no experience… :3 He was really good.

Besides that, a friend has essentially noted me as Bunnies due to an answer he gave about their healer tonight. 😛

Also still watching some streams for more ideas on the Cave Mystery, but nothing yet 🙁

As for the Orochick Mystery, the bug report ticket was sent to developers/wherever bugs go, but whether it really is a bug and/or is being worked on is yet to be known and I’m hoping I’ll get an answer back on that soon.

New Pet drops from The Terror from Beyond

Sep18

According to here, anyway. Right now, this is only confirmed for Hard Mode (ugh).

Asked for name and a screenshot–shall update with information.

Edit: Will hopefully have some information in about an hour.

Edit 2: As promised, here is the “Deep Wiggler”:

Will be updating all guides shortly 🙂 The pet is essentially a mini version of the first boss in Terror from Beyond, The Writhing Horror. High chance this is the “Gree Larvae” from the data dump.

Servers are up

Sep18

Aurorra and Cellina did have to be changed. They are now Aúrorra and Cellïna respectively. Every single one that was voted was taken or the accent didn’t work in the one picked so… yeah.

I feel sad v-v

Edit: Remade the Pets channel. Feel free to join :3

Also, had to re-do all my chat settings 🙁 blah

Corellian Run Yesterday, The Shadowlands today

Sep18

I get what “The Shadowlands” are in Star Wars lore (and my boyfriend is constantly reminding me)–unfortunately, I can not see that and think of that. Seriously, just call it the Tree Canopy or something then 😐

Moving on, I shall be watching carefully for the servers going back up. If your names are taken (which, thankfully, they should be going by whoever made them first…), whoever is on first obviously gets first shot at getting the change they want. So yes, you do have to be fast and yes, this means any names you tried to reserve yesterday will mean nothing. Also, all Legacy names will be reset (even if nobody has taken your name) due to the new system of them no longer being unique. This is your free reset so if you want to change your legacy name, THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL DO SO. Speaking of which, let’s bring up those poll results and… …seriously guys? 50/50? XP Okay, well, I guess since it is a tie, it’ll just have to go to the original name. ~*ORIGINAL NABERRIE AWAY*~

I already know Aurorra and Cellina are gone due to the High Population Server test. Here are some spellings I thought up… Vote on which you think is best? (and hopefully we won’t have a tie again):


(Obviously, no guarantee these names will not be taken but…)

Moving onto some of the brighter things… a lot of us will be playing together! YAY! Please do join the Pets Chat Channel, while an excellent source of your daily pet information, we also supply mystery solving, theory speculation, and completionist discussion.

(Note: We do have it on the Imperial side too! …I just don’t play that as much 🙁 )

(edit: and for those who have send some worried messages, yes, I am honestly still upset 🙁 this has essentially been me since the announcement. I’m doing my best to look on the positive side, but if you couldn’t tell…change and I don’t get along and Corellian Run meant a lot to me)

no no no no no no no no

Sep17

so yes.

we are apparently merging. I’m pretty upset. I don’t like the server name “The Shadowlands”. No offense to people on it. I’m just picky and really liked Corellian Run.

I really hope I don’t have to change any names. I feel…more than a little hurt. Broken. Disappointed. Similar words of similarness.

This just…sucks. And it makes no sense either as Corellian Run was the top PVE East Coast server too :/

Gonna go through and see what names I will have to change, if any. I already know Cellina and Aurorra will be taken though. Should I just spell the names correctly (Celina and Aurora) with an accent on a letter or use the odd spellings with an accent or play around with the spellings more or what? I may try spelling Celina with an S or something… I rather not think about it right now though.

may just cry first though.

Edit: “In order to do this, we started by raising the character limit per server to twelve (12). This new limit is applied to all accounts, even those who currently have fewer than eight characters across all servers.”

I guess I can make Speederisk and Speederisk2 at the same time then.

…

Sep17

Even if I may have improved from those stupid nerfs for sages/sorcerers during 1.2 and even if one is kind of less horrible with the upcoming new heal for sages (sadly, the nerf to Deliverance still exists giving the “main” healing class the slowest big heal), everytime I hear how much sages suck compared to another healing class and/or how much better healing scoundrels/commandos are, a little bit of my heart breaks.

It just kind of sucks. I feel really bad for anyone who can’t play how they like. My thirst for discovery continues, but I can’t help and feel a little demotivated every time I hear things like that.

Hmm…

Sep17

So, I sent in a ticket asking if 16-man HM was the only one that should have the text and it was forwarded to bug report. Not sure if it really is a bug though. I guess we’ll see if they really do add it tomorrow? But yeah, my tickets have been a bit confused about before @-@

Though, I have to wonder, if the patch isn’t 1.4 (which is still definitely possible), I wonder what would take 8 hours? The transfers are an option, of course, but did they have such a long downtime anytime they’ve done transfers? And it seems they didn’t do full testing with the High Population test server yet either…

Edit:

I can confirm that Game Update 1.4 will not be deployed during maintenance tonight; we are continuing testing on the PTS right now.

(Post here)

So I guess it will be the server transfers? Or….tons and tons of fixes.

Meant to post this yesterday but…

Sep17

So, the raid happened last night. Unfortunately, we didn’t have 2 of our DPS regulars (one of them being our highest DPSer, the other being the one who has missed each one) and that kind of pulled us down a bit for a bit. When things did finally get together…DPS was just too short. We got Toth down though so improvement! …but yeah. It also didn’t help that I was exhausted from Apple Picking and the Renaissance Fair. I felt like a huge failure 🙁 (and certain things happening in guild chat didn’t make me feel better) Of course, this is also why I didn’t post this last night–was exhausted and still had to take a bath so I did that and then passed out in bed.

My boyfriend hit the minimum this time too which was nice–he’s been getting better…but still low for a Sentinel which we both know. We just really need to get his gear in order. Even if the mods aren’t 26’s, we need to at least get the right ones fixed. Unfortunately, that power crystal is going to suck to get. I may try seeing if I can just switch a mod around to make up for it as that is much more manageable.

Speaking of mods, the Black Hole offhand is not going to be moddable which means I need to find another Advanced Resolve Armoring 26 and Advanced Adept Enhancement 26. I, thankfully, ended up already having an extra Advanced Aptitude Mod 26. I believe this will give me the same stats (or better) than the Black Hole which is Power + Surge related. I can hope anyway. Regardless, that has put me in quite a bind as, unsurprisingly, I can’t afford it. I could technically get an Adept from Black Hole stuff for 50 Black Hole Commendations, but I really want to save those for those overpriced new implants coming out in 1.4. Still hoping that price is a typo or something :/ otherwise if a nice Biochem may want to make me one >> 😛

And I was sucessfully able to just change one of my boyfriend’s mods so now he can keep his crit cyan. That makes things a bit easier 😛

Anyway, right now, I’ve just been debating on what to do. I really should work on getting more BH Commendations…too bad I hate every single way you can get them. I also just really want to look more into the Cave and Wonderous Egg. While the Cave is still a big mystery in itself (MYSTERY TWINS AWAY! …please ignore that I don’t have a twin), the Wonderous Egg may FINALLY be close to being solved and I am more than a bit antsy waiting for a response back.

Speaking of mysteries, however, I’m still not sure how people are finding this site in the first place~ Unless they know me ingame and cheat. *LOOKS AT PEOPLE IN STOIC AND ARJAC* XP But umm…thank you for putting up with my rambling? XD

I do wish I was better prepared for 1.4 though 🙁 the constant failureness of preparing is really getting me down and I don’t think people realize just how much. I’ll just queue for everything for now and hope it doesn’t go horribly wrong as I really can’t afford repairs :/

Rumors continue

Sep16

So, some of the discussion from the High Population Server test seems to have come back to light.

It seems there are more rumors that servers may get further merged into the following:
PvE East
PvE West
PvP East
PvP West
RPVP East
RPVP West

I have…mixed feelings honestly. I really like Corellian Run, obviously, so I wouldn’t want that stressness again >_> Corellian Run is the top PVE East Server according to TOR Status, but I don’t know if that actually means anything.

Anyway, I shall try and just go back to cave and Wonderous Egg research before I stress myself out. 😛
