Corellia done and Speederisk2!

Dec19

So, we finished Corellia on our main imperial characters 😀 I wanted to do Ilum too, but he wanted to take a break 🙁 We may try and finish later. I also took lots of pretty screenshots because fountains are awesome.

I decided I’d make Speederisk2 (but you can’t actually HAVE a 2 so it’s SpeederiskTWO) so he has been all set now… I kind of want to get him and Speederisk through their story quicker now in case a new legacy thingy is out for the next part of the Story that is introduced in Makeb… so I guess I won’t be permanently deleting them, but I still will make sure I have no attachment to them as characters. They can just…be there and stuff 😐

Anyway, I had sent Amidaia some of Mari’s old gear which I think helped a lot. I wish the unify color thingy was working correctly again though 🙁

…and I should probably start working on getting more companion gifts x-x

Dreadtooth, Alts, and things

Dec19

First of all, I am starting to give up hope on the Tundra Nekarr Cat ever going down 🙁 WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME? Oh, you have money finally? NOW YOU WILL STILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT (and/or never see it in the first place).

Moving on, I really wish I could stalk Dreadtooth for groups. See, these are the things I’d usually do, but he has that stupid debuff to everyone outside the group that pulls and has pretty big aggro range (he chased after me at least 3 times now) so it’s just…not really a great area to watch 🙁 I still need all his codexes though and haven’t even gotten to fight him once… just bleh. If I could camp him and solo him, I’d spend the day doing that–fighting him from 1-5 or maybe higher for testing loot and theories and things. But finding a group of 24 to do that is fairly unlikely. Nobody really cares about those things and I’m sure the cave would be solved if people were up for more experimenting

I don’t really like depending on people so I don’t ask for favors very much. Mostly because there isn’t much I can usually do to repay the person in the first place. Of course, MMOs require a lot of working together…but I’ve noticed most of the time, nobody has that same curiousity that I do. They just shrug it off and that’s it which means I’ll be alone again. Maybe it may be silly, but is there anything wrong with partaking in an adventure every now and then?

Regardless, hopefully we’ll get Amidaia and Revenent done and then we will probably get on Cellina and Valda…. or maybe I can convince him to help Speederisk 1 and 2 *bricked*

But yes, just trying to keep my hopes up… TUNDRA NEKARR CAT GO DOWN ALREADY GOD.

and I still have to finish space missions too…but…space missions ._.

Just because someone is flagged does NOT mean they are looking to fight you. Especially if it’s a PVE server.

more often than not, I heal people and they may be flagged and then I’m stuck dealing with the stupid glitchy flag.

There’s also a lot of people who may get flagged and may not realize it’s super glitched and just end up flagged forever when they don’t even want to be.

And for crying out loud, if you see someone having trouble, at least have the decentcy to help them. Seriously.

But really, if someone is just STANDING there peacefully and not doing anything to you and then tries to go away, doesn’t hurt you, and asks you to PLEASE STOP, how screwed up do you have to be to still kill them?

Jerk.

Blurrgs + Press Release

Dec18

A lot of people think Blurrgs are ugly. I don’t really see why? Okay, well, maybe kind of, but I think all pets are cute deep down.

Plus, lots of people like Gizka’s and they seriously just look like fat Gizka’s:
+ various pet food =

I don’t care if I’m the only one who sees it XP But I feel that should make them a little cuter to some people!

Anyway, it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting much done today sadly 🙁 But hopefully tomorrow may have a bit more progress when it comes to getting things done before the expansion.

Speaking of which, Fansites were shared the Press Release information today :3

AUSTIN, Texas – Dec 18, 2012 – There is a new threat in the Star Wars™ universe and the future of the Republic, the Empire and the entire galaxy is at stake!

so exciting <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 😀 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…

omg

Dec18

Why must these things always happen when I am at work?!

Hutt Cartel, Makeb, Expansions, Sides… T____T need to finish with Amidaia and Cellina!

Must get home and preorder x___x eeee….

Coherent thoughts coming when I get home.

Also, dear Tundra Nekarr Cat, please go back under 1 million 🙁 and tempted to get old boxes to try for a white lightsaber crystal, but it is such a gamble x-x

——————–

HOME SO TIME TO TALK. Already pre-ordered–sadly, it seems most people aren’t as excited as I am 🙁

I do remember this was brought up on a survey a while back so bringing that up… It said it would include the following:

Increased level cap. 5 additional levels of gameplay
New planet Makeb – Explore Makeb, as the Republic and Sith Empire fight for control over this alien planet with invaluable natural resources.
First-ever Legacy Species: The Cathar. Play as the deadly, powerful, and efficient Cathar–the first-ever species obtained exclusively through the Legacy System.
Luke Skywalker’s speeder from the classic Star Wars movies. This is a 2-seat speeder capable of carrying two players.
Kowakian Monkey Lizard similar to Salacious B. Crumb from the classic Star Wars movies
Ewok companion from the classic Star Wars movies
Improved Crafting System – Acquire new recipes, weapons and armor, and experience an all-new crafting system with additional levels to hone your skills.
Exclusive vanity items (special character particle effects, unique lightsaber color, etc)

So far, some stuff has obviously been mentioned… but most of it hasn’t and I’m curious what will be done. There is a Kowakian Monkey Lizard already available, yes, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing another kind in the expansion.

Regardless, I am excited… but this also makes me want to hurry up with my goals 🙁

Re-Organizing

Dec17

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 🙁

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. :/

In which Mari talks too much on her phone

If there is one thing that comes up when raiding as an alternate, there’s always the question of the person minds in the first place.

98.9% of the time I do not mind being an alternate. I hate repeating things so being an alternate lessens the chance of me wanting to scream every coming Tuesday and not having to help farm an instance means I won’t be gone anytime soon.

However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t times I get a bit frustrated/disappointed. Some examples:
Vanity chance – In general, I am very competitive. I also am a completionist and perfectionist so I hate losing rolls. But I hate so even more when:
—-It is something I hate doing to begin with (Lost Island)
—-It is very hard to get a group for (Gargath; KP, “old content”)
—-I won’t get many chances in the first place (progression)

Preferring things like pets and speeders over gear, it is just a sucky situation to be in sometimes. Out of everything, this is the one that tends to get to me the most.

The Road Paver – Nothing is more disheartening then helping with content and then seeing it get finished by someone else. Just makes you feel used.

The Alternate Main – In order for you to still raid, you will usually be used in the alt run which would be great if you just ignore the fact that you are rolling for your main character with everyone’s alts 🙁

In general though, I usually don’t mind, just tend to get disappointed with vanity stuff especially with how bad my luck tends to be in the first place. If only I had better rolls 🙁

But yes, for me, I just really hate repeating things so I do think I would probably be more frustrated being a full raider (especially without Mar-gon 🙁 ) . I really am not too fond of repeating things in general (and of course people ask and I hate saying no even if I do something)

…but I wish people would stop asking about EV anything. Soa can take his pylons and shove them somewhere 🙁

More Speedering~

Dec17

So, I got the rest of the speeders I needed that could be bought T~T Which just leaves:
Ubrikkian War-rider – 1,000 Ranked Warzone Commendations and Rank 2200 in Ranked Warzones
Avalanche Heavy Tank – NM EC
Praxon Firaxa – NM EC Timed Run
Dominator’s Command Throne – Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack
Diplomat’s Meditation Chair – Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack

Can’t be gotten right now:
Korrealis Prince – From Imperial PVP Vendor on Fleet. Technically, a friend got me one stupid bound-ness. *hopes for a bound remover in the Cartel Shop*

Nice to see the list so much smaller… but the Ubrikkian War-rider still makes me angry 🙁 I don’t know how I will ever get that ranking and even though supposedly you will be able to get a rank solo come Season 1, I worry it may not be there anymore… .__.
