So, it’s the last day… and thus, we are rushing through. Everything is officially done except killing Xenoanalyst II on Story and HM. Netto and Devil said they’d help with Xeno on HM this evening–so let’s just hope we can find a SM group now x-x
Depending on how things go, maybe we’ll do some alt stuff later… but I’m still a bit down when it comes to the game right now.
Edit: Story mode done! Now to just beat Xyno on HM later…
So, 1.7 is officially out and the game is up. Site is still down though which means you can not buy Cartel Coins right now. Regardless, the new pack is out…
Anyway, as for reputation stuff… There’s 2 Gree Reputation pets. They are both 50K each–there is the Data Core at Newcomer and the Miniature Gray Sacant at Legend. I guess this will take a bit of grinding :/
I haven’t seen any of the other Reputation Vendors yet (kind of on Ilum so…), but going through the overview are the following titles:
Republic Battalion – Hero unlocks Hero of Section X, Legend unlocks The Section Guardian
Republic Space Armada – Hero unlocks Hero of Deep Space, Legend unlocks Hyperspace Legend
The Gree Enclave – Newcomer unlocks Gree Research Assistant, Hero unlocks Honored Silver Acute, and Legend unlocks Perfect Gold Bisector
The Voss – Friend unlocks Honored Voss-Friend, Legend unlocks The Chosen of the Voss
You can gain 12,000 a week… which seems like a lot, but I doubt you can get Legend in a week so I’m scared to think of how much you need total. Not to mention this event is only around for 2 weeks so… :/
but yes, shall update this randomly. Time to work on the pet list.
The Secant’s arrival has changed the terms of the battle on Ilum. This is a PvP region restricted to groups of four players competing over limited resources to achieve daily mission objectives. Operations groups are disallowed in the Southern Bowl, but on PvP servers, the Northern Bowl will still host large-scale conflicts between the Empire and the Republic.
Many repeatable missions are available at each research camp, and those that require entering the Southern Bowl are flagged as [PvP]. These [PvP] missions do not directly require killing players, but the nature of the objectives will pit your group against all others in the region as you compete for limited resources in a relatively dense area. Additionally, the Secant’s Droids™ are weaker in the Southern Bowl, making Heroic objectives easier to complete if your group risks a foray into the contested area.
—————–From here
…so, I don’t think I’m looking forward to the event much anymore. I am absolutely terrified :/ Not sure if I should try and get the PVP events done ASAP so as to not worry or wait until later when maybe there won’t be so many people on… all I know is I’m scared.
dear PVPers who read this, please don’t kill Marilea and Mar-gon on the republic side or Amidaia and Revenent on the Imperial side. WE COME IN PEACE. (and I’ll cry if you do ._.)
But what is all this for, you may ask.
Rewards
The Event Missions available during the “Relics of the Gree” event all grant Reputation Trophies for the Gree Enclave, in addition to commendations and credits. Access to titles, adaptive gear, and mini-pets can be unlocked with Reputation Ranks, and those who earn the trust of the Gree will be invited aboard Gray Secant itself!Additionally, special “Gray Helix” weapons can be purchased with weapon component tokens that can be earned by completing certain missions or defeating the Operation boss at the heart of Gray Secant. These weapons are crafted from ancient Gree technology – you’ll find nothing quite like them in the known Galaxy.
so I need to get tons of reputation points for those pets T___T I really hope there’s no pets for the space missions. I can’t do the hard mode missions but I know those have reputation and bleh :/
“Relics of the Gree” is a new recurring in-game event in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Gray Secant will come and go from Ilum as it continues its millennial mission to gather and analyze infinite data. The event will end when Gray Secant achieves Red Radian and departs the planet – but look forward to its return!
At least if I screw up, it’ll be back… but I’d rather never see this event again 🙁
The event lasts between February 12th and February 26th so… time to work my butt off :/ But yes, Minipet preview from this video:
ALSO THE JAWA GRAM IS ADORABLE (I hate the cartel pack).
but bleh, I really can’t afford this right now so I probably won’t get to try with these Cartel Packs or get any of the Valentine’s Day stuff unless money suddenly hits me in the face ._.
regardless, I will be stalking the launcher all night to get this done ASAP >< Hopefully I can find a 24-person operation group as well for the boss and stuff...
So, 1.7 will be hitting the servers on February 12th. Yep, this upcoming Tuesday.
I’d probably be more excited if I wasn’t stressed beyond all reason. I will probably do as much as I possibly can for the event that day and then work on getting reputation from various other things.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a new Cartel pack is out as well (although, I will cry)… but honestly, I just wish I wasn’t so behind already. My codexes and goals list say enough 🙁
but yes, off to go camp on Ilum
Well, it’s coming up and it looks like having multiple characters for it may be important. (You can read about it here and here) The Ilum event is happening still it seems. I…really hope you won’t get instant flagged in the area, but I know we probably will and it will mostly be PVP centered as that was kind of what they were hoping to do.
So I guess I should be prepared to be killed repeatedly by all those hardcore PVPers 🙁 Regardless, I will do my best to finish the event as always. Hopefully I can find some people willing to do it with me (and my boyfriend better get up early >_>).
Now, I’m just going to quote the bit about reputation systems for a second:
The Galactic Reputation system lets you earn Reputation points by completing missions for factions such as the Gree or the Voss, or for military divisions within the Republic and the Empire. This new system advances characters through six ranks of increasing prestige: “Outsider”, “Newcomer”, “Friend”, “Hero”, “Champion”, and “Legend”. Galactic Reputation is also tied to a character’s Legacy, so Reputation points and ranks are shared across all the characters within the same Legacy!
I do not have much experience with Reputation Systems, but if I recall correctly, you can do stuff for everyone, but sometimes it’ll lower reputation with other sections? Since it is legacy-based, I’m guessing you could, theoretically, get all 4 up to Legend as long as you focus on certain ones per character (IE: Voss + Republic with one while Gree + Empire on another)… if I understand it correctly. …I’ll just do my best 🙁
Anyway, it sounds like there will at least be armor sets and weapons through the event vendor which should make people happy. I know there was mention of a mount in a data dump a while back that may be gotten through this. And there’s a lot of pets currently MIA so we shall see.
I do hope the Gray Secant is an instance. Last thing we need is people fighting with eachother to kill the guy in the center x__x
Quick Highlight:
Look for opportunities to join this recurring event throughout the rest of the year. More details to come!
So yay for offering people lots of chances. I do wonder if it will just be for this year though.
Anyway, if things are still going as planned, this will probably happen at the end of January at the earliest @-@ Which is like 2 weeks.
