1.5 to take 12 hours @-@

Nov13

So, they recently updated with maintenance info and well:

Time: 12AM CST (10PM PST/1AM EST/6AM GMT/7AM CET/5PM AEDT) until 12PM CST (10AM PST/1PM EST/6PM GMT/7PM CST/5AM AEDT)

All game servers, SWTOR.com, and the launcher will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than twelve hours.

Well, I’m hoping since they gave themselves such a large amount of time, it won’t be delayed. While I understand sometimes there just are…I only have a few set hours to get things done and if it gets pushed back too far, I shall be sad T~T

Regardless, I will get up early and stalk the launcher anyway. Not only to patch ASAP, but just incase. *DETERMINED*

Also, thank you to everyone who has offered to give me pets T~T I really appreciate it…especially considering how many are in the box just as rare and how many are in as super rare .__. but yes, I shall be sure to update the lists ASAP and hopefully we’ll manage to get them all T~T

Cartel Market Items

Nov11

So, SWTOR Spy recently put up a list of items that will be in boxes…

I don’t think all of these will be available immediately (someone in the comments says that some are for later) and I noticed some I got on the test server aren’t there as well so I’m not sure what to think…but it does give a bit of idea.

…so many mounts and pets ._.

Edit: So those are apparently the Super Rare items. Which means a good amount of the pets are “Super Rare”. Super Rare = special bonus item not included of the 3/5.

I’m going to go cry 🙁

What to do next~

Oct26

So, with completing my final pet goal (until the Cartel Market is officially out… I wouldn’t be surprised if it was like the first week of November to be honest), it’s a matter of what to do next… Looking through one of my older lists, I decided to go purchase those Consular’s Exalted Gloves and Boots already! So yes, that is FINALLY done.

That leaves two things on the Priority list. Saving up for speeders where I need to aim for like 3.5 million and the Czerka Crate-o-Matic which involves farming Corellia Commendations.

I’m not sure which will be more painful to earn, but I suppose I should get started. The more goals I can finish before Free to Play, the better.

Why, you ask? Because, the next update brings a lot:
1. HK-51 (who, besides getting, I need to get to 10K ASAP so lots of Companion Gifts needed X_x)
2. A whole new area of dailies.
3. Cartel Market – Need to get lots of pets and mounts, not to mention update the pet guides and getting a complete list is going to suck and I’m stressing just thinking about it, plus other stuff I may like.
4. Possibly setting up new Quick Bars and thus, updating my UI.

And who knows what else. Not to mention we know they are planning an Anniversary Event (and apparently a Life Day event too) so there’s just a lot upcoming and the less I have at once, the better.

Thankfully, Prongs said he’d help me out with HK-51 and then just need to get 3 people to try out the new dailies which will probably be Prongs, Anlorn, and my boyfriend but they don’t know it yet and hopefully that part will be good. Just…so much to do.

…I stress too much 🙁 I know.

Eeeeeee!

Oct26

So, unfortunately, a friend of mine couldn’t make the raid tonight suddenly. Despite the disaster of 3 sages last time, I was invited along as they’d only have 15/16 otherwise and well… WE DID IT! It ended up going well and we did it!

HM 16-man TfB DOWN! WOO.

ANNNNNND:

😀 😀 😀 😀

I named it Wriggles and gave it a top hat:

WOO.

And now I never have to do TfB again! …well, except for gear… and with Mar-gon… and if they me to fill in BUT STILL.

Data Dump 1.5.2

Oct23

So, another data dump has been posted up. Lots of pets (Most which have been mentioned before) and before I get to them, also something that looks like a Christmas event:
itm.mtx.toys.holiday_2012.holotree
itm.mtx.toys.holiday_2012.life_day_orb
itm.mtx.toys.holiday_2012.tinsel_bomb

And stuff for Makeb too 😀

Anyway TO THE PETS…I will skip the ones we’ve seen before and just put the new ones:

1. Imperial Interceptor Elite
2. Imperial Interceptor
3. Republic Fighter Elite
4. Republic Fighter

So possibly mini pet starships? I guess we shall see. In the meantime, I’ve made a Trading page for the Cartel Market in advance.

For the specific dump selection (including old pets)… Continue reading →

Cartel Market up on PTS :3

Oct23

Yep! The Market is already up on the PTS so here are some overviews 😀

Firstly, if you didn’t guess from the preview video, the icon is a bright golden icon outside the blue menu bar (which is kind of annoying IMO but). It has it’s own interface section and thus, can be moved. :3

The pet besides the Monkey Lizard is the Ivory Mouse Horanth. It costs 240 credits right now, but I will not be listing that officially as prices could change on release.

The Cartel Packs are random :/ Unfortunately. You have a chance at certain items and junk. Crime Lord Cartel’s Pack has “The Pack Contains 5 Items, including 1 Boost Item, 1 Companion Gift, 1 rare crafting material, and 2 rare items.”

I opened one and received: Slate Mouse Horranth and Golden Lizardbat for my rare items. The chance of those pets actually being Cartel Items seems more likely and yes, this means the pet isn’t guaranteed and the amount of anger I am feeling right now is so high, it could explode a volcano. The Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack costs 360 Cartel Coins. The other three items I received were a Personalized Holoportrait, Mutagenic Paste, and a Minor Space Mission Experience Boost.

I also have 2400 coins to spell so I will not be purchasing the speeder (which is 720). The Carbonite Chamber is also 720, but that’s 50% off and thus, is nomally 1,440. The Rancor holo is only 180.

Race Unlocks are available. Interesting color crystals: Orange-Yellow and Pink-Purple. All the armor is ugly IMO, but you can wear them on any class.

My Black Market Cartel Pack (180) contained 1 boost, 1 companion item, and 1 rare item. :/ Mine had…oh, forget the stupid companion item, nobody cares so a Minor Flashpoint XP boost and a Ubrikki Crimson Claw–a new speeder where the speed actually goes up based on the piloting level you have.

You also have a chance at a Super Rare item from both–the Crime Lord having a higher chance.

Oh, and there’s apparently two new quickbars that can be used. So yay for people who wanted more quick bars–you now have them. And you can now preview your weapon. Yay.

Anyway, I opened up another of each pack.
Crime Lord: Ignoring the stupid stuff… I got a new emote–Menace. Also an Elegant Loungewear Top. The latter is a nice way of saying Blue and White Slavegirl outfit. I was very disappointed -_-

Black Market… I got another of the Menace Emote — I’m giving up with these.

So, 3 more Crime Lord’s (as that was all I could afford):
1. ANOTHER Menace Emote and the bottom to that stupid slavegirl outfit.
2. Low Atmosphere Miniprobe 🙁 + Covert Torso Energy Armor (This will be popular for a lot of people–more or less, it’s armor that is invisible so if you want to run around naked and still be geared, this is for you)
3. Longspur Elite (It seems all Cartel Speeders work the same way–speed goes up based off your training) + Ball Toss “Throws ball at target within 30 meters that bounces harmlessly off their head”.

Overall? I’m just frustrated and upset. 40+ pets that are most likely in the Cartel Shop AND are random to get AND are bound. *sighs* Will not update the pet list just yet either for obvious reasons. The Experience boosts can be traded though and suppoedly other items may be tradeable after 5 days but… :/ *sighs* EDIT: Items can be traded after 5 days. EDIT: Even shorter once live and for subscribers! Thank god. So now I’m just annoyed with how MANY they put in…and I hate random boxes. At least hopefully I can trade with my fellow pet collectors?

Ubrikki Sand Devil is apparently another speeder (see in photos above). Darth Hater has lots of screenshots of stuff. Other items seem to be an Imperial Banner and Revan’s Cowl. Apparently you can also get a white crystal. I feel bad for anyone who really wanted one–have fun paying for it. Also items that give you credits.

Apparently the pink-purple has a PVP version though so may need to try and get that at some point. :/

Also, the Thrones are mounts and there is a title: The Cartel Collector. And there’s a Darth Malgus Holo that lets you purchase your skills as you level. That’s handy…but why Darth Malgus? 😐

Edit: Pets found so far in Cartel Shop:
Horranth
Lizardbat
Probe
Vrblet
Gizka
Monkey Lizard

Ironically, despite being the one shown, I have yet to see anyone who has gotten a Monkey Lizard yet. One FINALLY gotten.

Some pictures of things (Special thanks to Bloodguts for some of them :3)–Slate Horranth not included as it is glitched and looks like the Hagnoffarl. Will continue to update with more: Continue reading →

In Disney World + HM TfB!

Oct21

So, I am at Disney World. What this means is I probably won’t update much! Regardless, I have my laptop and cellphone so I will be able to check things. I’ll just be partying in Disney and hanging out with Pooh and being a Magical Princess of magicalness.

MOVING ON… There’s going to be an Alt HM TfB 8-man run tomorrow! I’m so excited. It looks like I was confirmed so as long as everything goes well and I get back before 8:50, I will get to go!

I really hope we finish it :3 I will be saving my special need roll for the Deep Wriggler. and if I am beaten I will cry and it will ruin my vacation

I just REALLY hope it drops as it seems it may actually be a 50% drop 🙁 and if it doesn’t, I will cry

BUT YES, WISH ME LUCK. eeeeeee <3 Edit: It sadly didn't go well 🙁

Finally gloves!

Oct19

Yep, I finally got my gloves from EC HM which means I have the stats I want along with a 4-set bonus. Of course, I do pretty well with my force management (I’d like to think so anyway!) so if something happens and I have to kill it… I have no problem doing so 😛 Unfortunately, no mount drop which really sucked 🙁

Anyway, I may get to do TfB on Monday! I hope we do really well and I can finally get my Deep Wriggler T~T That would be the best thing ever.

edit: and now I have to suffer through Teral V T___T darn you, Teral V.

Free to Play Trailer!

Oct18

So, on the website, a trailer was released for Free to Play!

Some highlights:


PARTY JAWA WOO.

FIREWORKS!

I remember it being shown in a datadump some firework items… I wonder if they will be sold or something to celebrate. May be a Cartel Market item…speaking of which…

CARTEL MARKET PREVIEW

Breaking it down:
-Ignoring that the prices are totally marked out… The Carbonite Chamber returns! For those who may be unable to read what it says under it: “Impress your friends by encasing yourself in carbonite! Encase your character in Carbonite while using this effect. This Carbonite Chamber will rapidly heal your character while out of combat.”
-I have circled pets because pets. There is no other reason needed but pets. The Monkey Lizard that was already confirmed is there, however, it seems that there is one other with it. I would guess either a Wraid, Horranth, or Blurrg but I am unsure.
-New speeder! The Longspur Sportster
-It does look like the Cartel Packs are just packs of certain items and not cruel random boxes. The Monkey Lizard is part of the “Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack”. I sure hope the items can be sold/traded or they can be bought separately as I just want the Monkey Lizard.

And while I did not take a screenshot, the Holographic Rancor was also shown so yes, both of the other Fan Favorite voting participants will be available–just not given for free.

so yay~

1.5 Data Dump – More pets may be coming? + Story Mode Ops

Oct12

Or being updated. A LOT of these match current pets so… of course, this could also mean new colors for some but… ANYWAY, quick list:

1. Acklay/Lylek x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
2. Battle Droid x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
3. Orobird x6 – 3 were added in 1.2, although, one is still missing.
4. Blurrg x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
5. Akk Dog x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and 3 released in 1.3
6. Horranth x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
7. Dragonbat x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
8. Flutterplume x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
9. Gizka x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
10. Gree Larva x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and the Deep Wriggler did come out at the least.
11. Manka Cat x14 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
12. Monkey Lizard x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and still one confirmed to be for the Cartel Shop.
13. Mouse Droid x2 – There is a chance this could refer to the TOR-CE from Beta or the normal Mouse Droid that has been available since live.
14. Mouse Droid/Minimech Collector’s Edition x2 – Could be the Minimech CE (since live) or TOR-CE from Beta (which was rumored to be the original CE pet)
15. “Karagga’s Mouse Droid” x2 – Most likely referring to the M0-GUL Thrall Droid which was added in 1.1. I really don’t think (and hope not) that there’d be another which makes me continue these are just updates to make them look better over new pets (or at least overall)
16. Mouse Droid/Sandcrawler x3 – Probably referring to either the Mouse Droid and/or Little Sandcrawler which have both been out since live.
17. Probes x12 – Most likely referring to the probes mentioned in Data Dump 1.4 and the Interrogation Droid that has been out since live.
18. Rakghoul x6 – Added in 1.2. All 3 were released so this could possibly be more colors or, well, like I said…updated graphics.
19. Tauntaun x10 – Added in 1.2. All 5 were released–although, Smelly from Beta has technically not been (however, people say Tauntaun Ram is just Smelly renamed)
20. Vrblthr x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
21. Womprat x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4
22. Wraid/Lobel x6 – Mentioned in Data Dump 1.4. Also Lobels were released in 1.3–2/3 have been able to be gotten with the Lobelode still not released yet.

As usual, I won’t really list anything until I see a more…understandable list on some of the databases, but as much as I love pets…that is a lot. Just…so much. And if the majority aren’t upcoming for the Cartel Shop… I’m not sure how they will be gotten. For reference, here is the 1.4 Data Dump. Due to the fact that there really isn’t anything new (of course, more colors are an option), I do feel this may just be a graphic update over brand new pets.

Going to the latter subject real quick, I was dragged into a random story mode operation for commendations…after dealing with lots of glitches, we managed to get KP. However, rather than Bonethrasher 1-shotting the Band, they came down and actually began to help us fight. It was kind of awesome. I made sure to heal them too (which was harder than it sounds when you’re the only healer to begin with). If only my screenshots worked 🙁

Also helping people with the +10 datacron now <3

If you’d like the specific data dump lines from this place, here are the pet ones: Continue reading →
