Aah, well I sure can't help you out in that case
Haha, no worries, didn't think it'd be this complicated finding the gaf guild.

Well, the problem is that the GAF guild is only really alive over on the Republic side.
There is an Imperial GAF guild, but it's mostly for alts for the Republic guild and rarely has anyone playing on it. You're welcome to join it, but honestly I'd advise against it unless you like playing solo. If you're committed to playing on the imp side though, one of our GAF imp players might be able to get you into one of their guilds.Well, the problem is that the GAF guild is only really alive over on the Republic side.
Got it. I'll solo my first character then. Go over to the other side for my next character.
You don't HAVE to solo.
Like I said, one of our gaf imp players could probable get you into a guild. Well, the problem is that the GAF guild is only really alive over on the Republic side.
Imperial GAF is alive in SA's guild... "That's no Goon".
I played a single Warzone yesterday. I think I am going to be taking a break until they release something new. I just wasn't feeling it.
Speaking of which. I threw a generous amount of cursing your way about 3 or 4 days ago Mr. Cystm.
You posted that XCom: Enemy Unknown pic and I was like "what's that?". Coincidentally, I had also just taken a break from SWTOR and started playing games on Steam. $30+ dollars later I am engulfed in killing aliens. You cost me bones, sir.
Bones.
Lots of them.
I'll forgive you because it's awesome as hell though. Perfect fit for me after FTL because I was looking for something fairly similar. Not the same thing, but the attachment to my oddly named crew is.
As for releasing something new in SWTOR, have they talked about when the next patch is heading up on the test server yet? I haven't been keeping up at all.
So this means there is most definitely not one, right?
If, somehow, Trevin happens to be right however...I'll be there!
That game is so fucking good and is likely going to be my GOTY. Dark Souls and a few others are on deck. I say this knowing that I am doing it wrong, but I really need to get through them.
The X's are games that are essentially done. Sleepy Dogs for example has been completed, but I still need to find that last damn trunk mission to get 100% complete. XCOM will still be played through again, but the campaign is complete. Hotline Miami was.. a bit like playing a flash game with a really fucking good sound track. I enjoyed Frog Fractions more.
That's right. I have never played the Assassin's Creed franchise. I got about midway through Mirror's Edge and I am only a few levels from completing Darksiders. I own every single AC game and while I am okay putting them off as I have clearly had no problem doing that before, I mistakenly jumped into AC 1 with the intention to simply play it for ten minutes and then move on, but ended up collecting every possible flag in the first area and an hour later I found myself having a hard time putting it down. That's just the few games I have installed atm too, mind you. I feel like I am on the precipice of that Steam backlog deluge.
I am also checking out Tera. I am still in the starter zone and have two whole abilities. It's fun so far, I guess? The combat has potential, but it is way too early to saying anything definitively.
Edit: FTL needs to be portable. That game is fucking great, but I think it would be a lot better on the go.
Hotline Miami is the reason I actually stayed away from SWTOR. That was the first game I had beaten in ages. I loved the shit out of it and am still saddened there weren't more levels. It oozed awesome and yes the soundtrack was amazing.
I had one game, one, on my Steam account before the week leading up to Christmas. I now have 40+ due to bundles/trading/whatever. I know that feel.
I don't know what class you are playing (I played a lancer to 32) but the combat is definitely a nice shot in the arm. My advice to you as a fellow MMOer would be to keep at it until you get to your first BAMs (somewhere around 14-15 if I remember correctly). Shit was as awesome as most boss fights in raids, and that was just the first one. Nice adrenaline rush.
I'd love this as well for my phone/iPad. Crazy fun. I've been playing with the mods, specifically the one that turns the starter ship B version into a Star Destroyer and another ship into the Death Star. Good times. See, I'm kind of still playing SWTOR...right?

I've been playing TERA a bit and I feel the combat is a bit slow. Though I'll chalk that up to being a Berserker but I don't know if it's the game's fault or my fault. I guess it's because I'm new but things seem to take forever to kill compared to people around me including other Berserkers. I don't know. It feels like there's more to the combat other than clicking or holding down mouse buttons and ability keys but I just haven't figured it out yet.
This freaking game....
I was finally getting into it, I got a 30 day sub and started playing and then I was gone for 10 days on a business related trip and when I came home my sub was over.
I attempted to login and play my guy without resubbing but it said I had to verify an e-mail address, so I clicked the message which popped up their page, I logged in, verified, and tried again. No dice.
I searched forums and tons of people were experiencing this and the official solution was to re-verify the e-mail. So I had yet another e-mail sent to me with instructions to click a link on it and then validate my credentials. When I log in successfully it says that the verification code has expired.
So basically I'm locked out of the account as far as I can tell.

Might be time to call Customer Support. The good news is, they're pretty competent at their job. One of the better CS experiences I've had.
I am sorry you have had such shitty luck with this game. It's really terrible that it has hassled from the word go.
I didn't fall for the main board bait thread this time. Haven't been playing due to lack of internet, kinda want to finally finish the consular storyline (on voss atm) and the continue on the agent one (i love the new cash black imp officer outfit). I honestly think f2p probably got additional money spent from subscribers buying additional stuff then probably nonsubs paying.

What was it this time?
Also yeah there are tons of Cartel Market items on the GTN. I've been searching every day for unlocks for cheap on there since I'm not a subscriber. I should probably sub up sometime though as I really want to do just about everything in this game.
Same sex marriage is "regulated" to one planet only! Those bigots!
Well, at least that's what I kinda got from gleaning over some of the posts this morning.

People making mountains out of mole hills again. The BioWare and SWTOR hate on this forum has gotten so hilariously sad.

I wouldn't be surprised, most of the folks decked out in cartel market stuff are subscribers. And people were buying crazy amount of cartel packs at a time. Only they will know, but wouldn't be surprised that lot of their income since f2p is still coming from subscribers and the cash shop, and not f2p players. Seeing how they keep changing the free/preferred status stuff, perhaps it's not really working on that end.
They've made enough off all the folks I know (and what you others have said in this thread) and myself to cover a lot of extra months worth of subbing. I'd say you are far and away right, but I guess I'm not surprised.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
No, it's worse. Even Fox is jumping on this with hilariously bad "reporting".

Berserker is probably the slowest class in the game. Your attacks have long charge times and some of them lock you in place (less as you level) or into a long animation, but your attacks hit like a truck. I loved the class and how you really had to plan your attacks, especially vs BAMs. If you're looking for something faster, Warrior and Slayer are probably more your style.
TERA looks and plays great but I thought the quest system and the story (or lack thereof) was one of the worst the genre had to offer. I still wonder what SWTOR would be like if it had combat more like TERA, if the quest system wasn't the only innovation it had to offer the genre. Actually aiming blaster shots, feeling connected to your lightsaber attacks instead of just watching elaborate non-interactive animations, etc. It could have had broad-enough appeal and been refreshing enough to pull the WoW numbers they were looking for.
The last couple MMOs to come out have been heart-breaking with opposite strengths and weaknesses but no MMO really nailing everything. This Penny Arcade comic summed it up last year and it's still true
Can you link it? I don't see anything new on the front page.
Well... uh, on the plus side reputations gains seem to be Legacy-wide.
Otherwise I don't know if this was a good bit to use as a preview by itself.

Pretty sure it is. They are basically putting PVE objectives in the pvp area to fight over. Says its going to be recurring throughout the year and is not a one time event, so looks like a carrot on stick to draw ppl to illum to fight.
Sounds like it won't be permanent though and instead will come and go?
BattleMonkey

Kinda sounds like it will be like a dynamic event that comes and goes? Hope the frequency of it is not something that they turn off and back on every few weeks/month. Make it a limited type of event that comes and goes during the week so that players will flock to illum to battle.
I dunno, they still haven't revealed anything about the expansion.

That's the key word right there. I think if this PVE content can generate the spontaneous PVP we had during the Rakghoul event it's going to be great.
I don't have much opinion on the rep grind as I've never done much of that in an MMO except in AoC. New forms of progression are always welcome though.
I never claimed there would be an event, merely showed Yooni a comment posted on Reddit by someone who had claimed to have datamined this info about an event that was added in the last patch. But at least you get to keep leveling Kephess instead of OMG GOTTA GRIND OUT THE EVENT!!1!!!1

Rep grinds? Oh god no.
I hope they aren't as bad as WoW's.
Well at least they make it legacy wide. That's good.

If the rep rewards are nothing amazing, don't mind. Would be nice if the rep though were retroactive for what we already did, but I doubt it. If it's just stuff like titles, then I don't really have much interest.... I never enable titles heh.

The hilarious thing is that it took two weeks for people to even care about it and form a faux outrage over it. Even then people are too stupid to learn why they're doing it.
The hate for this MMO is strong on NeoGAF.

That thread reads like the end result of some internet Telephone game, just a complete and utter distortion of the facts and then outrage based on that incorrect information.

So 1.7 is probably in Feb according to the last dev post in about the fix for the cartel market gear item changes.
I did what I could to fight the good fight, but understanding a situation completely versus believing sensationalist faux journalism is an uphill battle.
Ditto. I'll put something up in the guild message later today when I get home from work.

How much does it cost anyways?
