New Cartel Pack

Jan8

Skip Tracer Cartel Pack is now out costing 360 like usual. I’m patching (unfortunately didn’t get a chance to patch early like I usually do) I’ve finished patching and will be probably buy some to check it out. I’m expecting pets and knowing my luck, I will probably not get any of them.

I think I’ll just have a nervous breakdown over here :3

Apparently the backflip emote is out and the rare ship pets may be out but we shall see… Also a Holo-Shrub disguise which sounds neat.

12 pets: Desert Nekarr Cat, White Womp Weasel, Black Womp Weasel, Brown Womp Weasel, Killik Drone Larva, Blue-Speckled Gizka, Model Dominion Starfighter, Sub-Zero Mini Probe, Model Liberator Starfighter, Model Redeemer Starfighter, Model Supremacy Starfighter, Flamehair Kowakian Monkey-lizard

Box 1:
Fancy Reveler’s Bottoms
Desert Nekarr Cat
^YES.

Box 2:
Fancy Reveler’s Top
Covert Torso Energy Armor

Box 3:
Longspur Pacer
Brown Womp Weasel
^Double YES.

Box 4:
Killik Drone Larva <--- more yesing. Ball Toss Box 5: Ubrikki Crimson Claw Black Womp Weasel ^yesing continued Box 6 (and final box): White Womp Weasel Black Womp Weasel (This will be given to someone in the Pet channel! Whoever still needs it once it unbinds~) ^this box also gave me 5 Molecular Stabilizers. Thank you, Box #6 T~T Edit: so, items I need/want out of what I know: Blue-Speckled Gizka
Sub-Zero Miniprobe
Model Dominion Starfighter
Model Liberator Starfighter
Model Redeemer Starfighter
Model Supremacy Starfighter
Flamehair Kowakian Monkey-lizard
Ambassador’s Meditation Chair
Emote: Backflip
Emote: Flourish
Title: The Skip Tracer
Holo-Shrub Disguise
Mood: Angered
Mood: Enraged
Mood: Disdained
Mood: Ecstatic
Mood: Fearful

obviously, I want any emotes/mounts/moods/pets I haven’t heard about yet though. That’s kind of a given. And then for Cartel stuff I still need… a white crystal, a cyan-blue crystal (that isn’t endurance), and the throne and Meditation chair from the last pack 🙁

For reference, the only mount I got was the Longspur Pacer… pets I got–the ones that have pictures and say so in the pet check list, and I didn’t get any titles, emotes, or moods v-v

edit: 2 last boxes…

Box 7:
Fancy Reveler’s Hatwear
Covert Torso Energy Armor

Box 8:
Longspur Pacer
Ubrikki Sand Devil

🙁

Also from Patch Notes:

After Dreadtooth is defeated, Dreadful Resurgence no longer persists. Dreadful Essence must be used to increase Dreadtooth’s difficulty.
Dreadtooth’s difficulty when he is affected by 3 or more applications of Dreadful Resurgence has been decreased

About the only part that caught my interest 😛 Time to save up essences and yay for easierness~

1.6 up on PTS

Nov20

Well…that was fast. Was surprised to see that appear in my inbox! Sadly, no transfers again :/ Regardless, this is the new PVP Warzone–Ancient Hypergates and new space missions…the new space missions sound scary 🙁 Anyway, here’s some highlights from the Patch notes!:

Added a new Level 50 “Introduction to Group Finder” mission to the Daily Mission Terminal on the Republic and Imperial Fleets. This will be granted when players complete the Advanced Gear mission for their Class.

I kind of hope we can do this~ I like new quests and I’m sad when I can’t do a new quest because it’s limited to a lower level :/

Increased Black Hole Commendations awarded by Story Mode Operations in Group Finder from 5 to 10.

I’m sure people will be excited about this. I would be if I didn’t hate dailies with a passion.

Added a new Level 50 “Advanced Gear” mission for each Class to the Daily Mission Terminal on the Imperial and Republic Fleets.

More quests <3

Tionese gear available from the Tionese vendor no longer costs Tionese Crystals, and their commendation costs have been reduced for most items.

…but I have so many crystals 🙁

Ancient Artifact Storage Boxes can now be purchased for 25 Tionese Crystals from all Tionese vendors.

OMG T~T *HOPES FOR CZERKA CRATE-O-MATIC IN ONE*

Highlights
Ancient Hypergate, a new Warzone, is available for play! Travel to an ancient ruin built around a Gree Hypergate and battle to control the precious lost technology for your faction.
New incredibly challenging Weekly [HEROIC] Space Combat missions are available!
All new Grade 7 Artifact Quality Starship Upgrades are now available

1. Yay…. 😐 I hate PVP ._. and this one encourages a death match. Talk about unfun for healers.

2. … 🙁 I’m so bad at space missions.

3. I wonder if this means I don’t need fleet commendations now? I guess I shall see.

Regardless, Test server is done patching so time to check it out :3 Shall edit with stuff~

Edit: At the fleet vendor, there’s the finally Grade 7 Ship stuff:
Blast Condensor – Beam Generator – 500 Fleet Commendations
Durasteel Armor – Ship Armor – 500 Fleet Commendations
Laser Cannons – Beam Charger – 500 Fleet Commendations

Then there’s 2 schematics for Cybertechs (requires 400) for 700 Fleet Commendations each. Concussion Missile Magazine and the Deflector Shield.

Got mail about the Advanced Gear mission… gave me a use item to talk to someone on Carrick Station and gave me the new game rule: Advanced Gear. Had to speak to Master Zua, the Tionese vendor for Consulars. Got 99 Tionese Commendations as a reward.

Opened up a bunch of the Ancient Artifact Boxes… no crate, but I think if I did get it on the Test Server, I’d cry. I did manage to get 2 inheritance kits though (Main Hand and Chest).

Was able to get the Introduction to Ground Finder quest… requires me to complete 1 Random HM flashpoint using it.

Suddenly got another mail which was about the finishing the Advanced gear mission and the Group finder thing… but I already got the mission (which using the item told me, though, it was still consumed). Also received a Black Hole commendation,.

Anyway, queued for PVP (and PVE I guess to see the reward for the quest)… shall see what happens. Gonna try doing the space missions… can’t find where to buy space stuff with BH Commendations though :/

There’s 6 new Space Missions I believe… gonna go fail miserably.

Edit 2: Well, that didn’t go well…got greeted by a black screen (although, could see some stuff at the borders)… :/ Would submit a bug report, but I can’t see anything so… shall close the game for now and try again later @-@

Test server + 1.4 Patch Notes are up!

Sep10

For the patch notes 🙂 Currently patching on my computer and downloading on my laptop as we speak. Only disappointment is it looks like no character transfers…which is really depressing T__T (Also, looks like no new pets officially mentioned…however, that doesn’t mean much. I kind of hope not though as we have enough mysteries on our hands with the Wonderous/Wondrous Egg/Orochick and who knows what with the Lobelode)

Regardless, some highlights and things I found interesting from the patch notes:
-Obviously Terror from Beyond is out. The new gear is “Dread Guard” (it sounds silly)

-The ground targeting reticule is no longer cleared when a channeled ability completes channeling. (Very nice. This was always a bit frustrating/confusing in PVP)

-Players no longer receive the error message “You cannot cast while moving” when moving, stopping, and then immediately using a ground-targeted ability. (Yay!)

Hmm…

There have been rumors that the test server may go up today. I’m kind of thinking that may be true now that the maintenance has been pushed back 5 hours later at this point.

Just have to wait and see, I suppose. But this can’t just be a normal bug fix O-o

Edit: It would go up when I finished writing this!

You can read the patch notes here. Some highlights for me:

-Items
—General
—–The event outfits (the Rakghoul Containment outfit and Sand People Bloodguard outfit) now bind to Legacy instead of binding on pickup.
^Yay~

-Legacy
—Legacy names are no longer unique. New Legacies that are created are now able to use a name that is already in use on the server. All players will be able to rename their Legacies once, at no cost, in a future update.
^Okay… I can understand why they did this, but I can see a lot of people being annoyed about it. Not to mention people who may get confused over others with the same name. However, this also means that users who disliked their Legacy Name will officially have a chance to change it soon.

So, should I keep the Legacy name, Naberrie, or change it to the one I have on the test server–Royal?

-UI
—Made minor cosmetic changes to the Character Selection and Character Creation UI.
^Always nice to see things made clearer

…This still seems kind of small considering the delays though :/

Changes in 1.4

Sep4

So, this developer blog went up and it is full of all kinds of interesting class changes.

Shall go in order:

-Electro Dart and Cryo Grenade now have a 10-meter range.
-Electrocute and Force Stun now have a 10-meter range.

This…kind of stinks. Our stun is now only 10 meters…I mean, I guess we may be that close in PVE sometimes anyway when we need to stun, but it sucks for PVP.

-Overload and Force Wave have been redesigned. These abilities now knock back all targets within a 15-meter 120-degree cone in front of you. Furthermore, these abilities now knock back all potential targets instantly; they no longer wait for an animation note at the end of the ability animation.

so not good. I can’t aim at all so umm…chances of me hitting someone (which I already had a hard enough time being in range with a full circle) is pretty bad. Also incredibly useless when you are trying to get rid of someone behind you. Yay for at least being instant though but…

Also Resolve changes where if someone is stunned and someone else used it at the same time, it won’t count towards it as it didn’t actually stun the person.

Anyway, now class changes….

“The “Exit Area” button in Flashpoints and Operations is now disabled during combat.”

May3

While I essentially saw the “EGGS CAN BE SOLD ON THE MARKET NOW” (Speaking of which, other than the Unusual Egg, I’ve seen 2 Ice Scrabbler Jerky and a Pale Rakling go up on our server), some of the other patch notes recently hit me.

Most importantly, the one in the subject above: “The “Exit Area” button in Flashpoints and Operations is now disabled during combat.”

I suppose this was done so people can’t get our of repair bills during a wipe in an operation or flash point.

The issue is, a lot of the time (since most people can’t even exit before that happens) it is because of a glitch. For example, Soa suddenly not coming down or resetting–you will sometimes still be in combat. Then what? Do I just kill myself when I technically shouldn’t have died?

Recently, a guildmate and I were stuck in a Mind Trap after Soa went away. We were forced to “/stuck” which killed us which was kind of unfair.

We’ve had instances where platforms don’t spawn or an enemy spawns multiple times and now we’re forced to pay repair bills for something that may not even be our fault.

And credits aren’t exactly that easy to come around 🙁 At least repair costs are cheaper, but I can barely afford them lately.
