Developer Blog, Guilds, KP, and Jokes

Lots to talk about in this entry! Some good, some bad… I’ll once again probably not talk in order.

Did a random KP story mode with Prongs and Tourch. It…didn’t go as well as it could have, but it wasn’t horrible. I ended up doing some of the puzzle by myself while occasionally throwing down heals and a battle resurrection @-@ But we got through it and the helmet dropped! And Tourch was nice and gave it to me ๐Ÿ˜€ So now I have it. I also got 2 new schematics <3 I'm also now only 30 Black Hole Commendations away from being able to get my other implant @-@ Moving on, there is a new developer’s blog! It talks about some of Makeb’s upcoming stuff so as usual, thinks I am excited about :3

Weโ€™ve got new Operations, new Flashpoints, new difficulty modes, new PvP areas, and of course, the entire Digital Expansion: Rise of the Hutt Cartel (which is targeted at our high level players).

Which would be more exciting if I didn’t still have so much to do ๐Ÿ˜€ I would say I probably dislike the new difficulty modes thing the most as I really hate how the difficulty modes work to begin with. I already hate doing a flashpoint/operation more than once, do I really need to do it on different difficulties too? X__x Although, it probably just means NM TfB.

Overall, weโ€™re aiming to introduce a more diverse array of activities โ€“ more stuff to do with your Companion, more challenges to tackle with groups, and more reasons for guilds to recruit. Weโ€™ll also be improving our itemization, introducing new incentives to revisit existing areas, and a lot of other exciting things that will be revealed as we move through the upcoming year.

I just hope it’s not big groups. Those are always a pain to get together *STARES AT EMPTY DREADTOOTH RESEARCH* ๐Ÿ˜ I don’t really understand itemization much, but I’m always up for new quests and more lore objects and things.

I think you will see (fairly soon) the answer to this question in the game itself – something big is coming to the Western Ice Shelf, but itโ€™s quite a departure from what was there before.

This makes me think the possible World Event on Ilum is still happening and still planned for sometime this month.

You should expect to see this come within the first part of this year. It will provide free character copies to PTS at any time (with possible restrictions dependent upon our testing needs at any given time).

Yay ๐Ÿ˜€

I want to reveal today that we are adding SGR with some NPCs on Makeb and do intend on pursuing more SGR options in the future.

^This should also make many people happy.

But yes, regardless, I am quite excited for upcoming things! Just… wish it was on better terms.

As a lot of people know, I am once again guildless. Mar-gon left so my leaving shouldn’t be a surprise. In general, certain things just made us quite upset. No matter how mad you are at someone or how much you may dislike someone, that’s just…never a reason. Ever ๐Ÿ™ And… giving me ultimatums isn’t nice either ._.

Overall, I’m pretty down about it and I just…wish guilds weren’t so important sometimes. Not to mention it makes things iffy, even with friends. There’s several people I can think of, who even if I’ve run into them and things have been fine, I’m just too shy to contact and then it eventually just doesn’t happen. There is no talking. I miss a lot of people due to that and it makes me sad that list is going to grow.

Finally, I’m a serious person. I get my feelings hurt easily, especially more so on days when I’m not feeling well or already in a bit of a down mood. I can’t tell when people are being sarcastic–I’m really dense with that. And if I say stop and you continue, it’s not funny. It never was funny. You’re just being a jerk.

And yet I end up feeling bad for not getting the joke. And when it comes down to it, I really really shouldn’t.

But that seems to be the trend. Because I’m naive and shy and serious, I should feel bad for not finding a joke funny or sticking to my morals, or being too shy to say something, or not wanting to have nightmares all night. And that really isn’t true…the person who should feel bad is the one who can’t respect how another person feels and has to make them feel like crud for existing.

That’s what is really sad.

Eeee T~T

First of all, Happy Christmas Eve to everyone! …or if you’re seeing this on the 25th, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or if you don’t celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays/Happy Life Day! ๐Ÿ˜€

I just wanted to say Thank you to everyone who gave Holiday wishes T~T And Thank you Mirin for the lovely gifts! <3 I love them muchly ๐Ÿ˜€ *PUTTING ON HER NEW EARPIECE NOW* YAY FOR PET CARE PACKAGES <3 Wriggles has decided to celebrate in various ways:

wrigglesreindeerwriggleslifeday

And now, to work on Cellina a bit too ๐Ÿ˜€ and then head to bed to wake up to gifts from Santa! yay! <3 ...or whoever gives gifts for Life Day? (Dear Devs, I would really really really really really really really really really like a Ubrikki War Rider (because PVP is stupid) and/or a Wonderous Egg, please. Love, Mari. P.S. I will also be happy with credits of any amount because I suck at earning them and then I can run around fleet throwing credits and stuff at people. P.P.S. A Princess title or light pink version of Elegant Outfit = also acceptable. :P)

EEEEEE :D

Duhtect surprised me with a Tundra Nekarr Cat! T~T WHICH MEANS MY PET COLLECTION IS COMPLETE AGAIN. YAAAAY.

tundranekarrcat

And now we’re doing HM TfB @-@ I got gloves and all the HM Survived by titles so yay! Too bad it’s not a DKP run though–maybe I could’ve used some of it already. ๐Ÿ˜› But oh well, at least I got something.

And then we even went to Dreadtooth ๐Ÿ˜€ YAYNESS. And Tourch was nice and gave me the mask so now I have part of the puzzle! WOO.

And even my boyfriend got to come <3

:(

So, today was supposed to be fun and exciting and goal-getting, but it kind of hasn’t. Besides getting a bit of a late start (due to stressing), most people seemed to be upset with the expansion so my ideas of hopping on and happily talking away to guild mates about excitement over the expansion information was shot to heck in minutes as my heart shattered but people are still coming anyway

However, one nice thing happened today (plus, I finished my goal page!). Prongs surprised me with some mods ๐Ÿ˜€ And he even helped Mar-gon too! Yay! He’s supposed to help me figure out a bit with my healing and if it’d be better to switch down 5% Crit by switching my Magenta Crystal to a Power one and 3 Mettle Mods to Aptitude or to keep what I have now. Looking forward to what he says, although, I’d hate to have to change things again…

Re-Organizing

Rather than constantly giving full updates and then re-looking for posts, I think I’ll change the “When it comes to Collecting…” to just an Overall to Do List (of course, Codexes will still have it’s own page) which will just…make things easier overall.

Shall have to work on that when I get home <3 And go through everything. Also, I really need to see if anyone can make a Hazmat Force-Healer’s MK-3 Relay since I really doubt I’ll get lucky and see it drop… And well, I suppose I need a Hazmat Force-Healer’s MK-4 System as well… though, I’m 141 Black Hole Commendations away from affording it @-@

…blah, gear is a pain ๐Ÿ™

Edit: Unfortunately, didn’t get to get started last night–just felt super super awful so I ended up just spending time off the game and watching some things (while on in a way for people to contact me if needed). Even though I felt really awful, I’m still frustrated by how easily people give up sometimes. Things don’t always have to be perfect for the possible to happen. I wish people would keep that in mind. :/

TfB HM @-@ + Gear Progress

So, I was taken to TfB HM tonight as the usual sage is away this week. I wish I could say I did awesome, but I know I was kind of off. My reflexes were kind of iffy due to my sinus headache so my overheal was worse than usual (I’m pretty good at healing but not so much making sure I don’t heal someone to death) ๐Ÿ™ Will probably head to bed soon. Regardless, I did have fun~

Also, Drummer said something really sweet T~T <3 Which made my night~ Annnnd I got the mainhand! Which removes 3 things from my list of horribleness. We will be attempting EC NM tomorrow… I’m scared @-@

And I got another codex from Ancient Hypergate…another from the cubes @-@ Just need to win a match and I should (hopefully) be done.

Finally, going to Cartel Market-ness again… there’s also another throne: Dominatorโ€™s Command Throne -_- At least it doesn’t look like there are anymore pets… but I’m still paranoid ๐Ÿ™

Anyway, new gear needed list: Continue reading

1.6 and things

So, Tuesday is 1.6. It’s also the fireworks and I’m pretty sure it’ll probably be any special Cartel Market items or Anniversary/Life Day stuff (and if not, Life Day will probably be either next week or the week after).

I’m kind of excited, but I’m mostly stressing. Still have incomplete goals (Speeders, Gear, Codexes, Dreadtooth…) and I’m going to have to add on to the codexes :/ Should probably look up and see what Ancient Hypergates has…

I’m worried they may actually remove past cartel boxes when they add in new ones which would cause more prices to raise… And with the throne finally under 2 million, I’d rather not see it shoot back up.

Shall try and stay positive @-@ but mostly just paranoid ๐Ÿ™ As it is, I have to work that day so I may not be able to see it right away. There’s a chance it may even be up early even though delays seem more common.

Anyway, Ancient Hypergate codexes:
Ancient Hypergate: Captured a Pylon
Ancient Hypergate: Took Cover from Explosion
Ancient Hypergate: Won a Match

Unfortunately, I still don’t understand Ancient Hypergates as well, but I know the warzone is going to suck as a healer :/

and now I am dragged off to EC HM T~T I guess I can hope for the mount at least…

…I wish they’d remove the ranked requirement on that one stupid speeder ._.

EDIT: EEEE ๐Ÿ˜€ I GOT THE HM EC MOUNT YAY! <3 Edit 2: ack, forgot about the new space missions... will probably pick them all up and cry

Circlets and Sabers

Dear Double-bladed lightsaber:


(Benevolent Venerable Exemplar’s Lightsaberstaff)

YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. WHY ARE YOU DOUBLE-BLADED? WE WOULD LOOK SO FANCY TOGETHER.


LOOK HOW FANCY.

LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU COULD BE SINGLE-BLADED:

OR
(horrible edits by me)

…why can’t there be single bladed versions of double-bladed lightsabers T~T and vice versa. Whhhhhy. someone suggest this. please. please please please.

oh, and I drew up a horrible doodle from memory of that circlet hat I saw on a Sage that I still haven’t figured out what it was (ONE DAY I HOPE T~T)–the sides may have been more like chains over a band… but blah ๐Ÿ™ :

edit: oh and note to self, get a K-313 Riot Needler for Miisha.

PVP + Hoth

So, did some PVP today @-@ Kind of have to as much as I hate it… Duhtect brought me along by mistake, but I did a few matches before Mar-gon had me hop onto Cellina as I promised I’d play with him some more ๐Ÿ˜›

At the moment, most of our time has been spent camping Dootu Mu Bacha to try and get the RD-17A Hellfire Helmet that my boyfriend really wants for his bounty hunter. Sadly, no luck yet. We’ve seen two people also camping so far, but they was some Sorcerer top.

Anyway, just questing along inbetween (as you can only do 3 times in a row) and hopefully we will get more story done @-@

Pictures and Rumors

So, I finally updated the trade page with pictures~ Yay :3

But now, onto rumors!

Current rumor is that if you beat NM EC within 2 hours, that is how you get the pet…and of course, rumors that it is the Wonderous Egg are still circulating. I kind of hope this isn’t true as I really am not fond of the rare pets… too many people who want them just to show off and boost their ego :/ But I guess we’ll have to see.

Moving on, I saw a nice gold tiara/circlet thingy… unfortunately, I couldn’t inspect them (every time I tried to, even though they were next to me, it kept showing my gear) and my screenshots were acting up after getting the pictures for the trade list… ๐Ÿ™ Wish I could try and find it, but not much to go on.. and the person never responded to my whisper either ๐Ÿ™
