Okay, I figured it would be either her or Jace Malcom (the trooper from the same two trailers who bum-rushes Malgus in one of them).
Also, I just remembered one of the runner-up ideas for the name of the first thread, which would be good for this one (if anyone still cares):

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: If at First you don't succeed, reload
So last night went well, was my first operation as the leader guy thing (previous leader guy is taking a break from the game). Hardmode Soa still remains unbeaten, but we damn near had the Hardmode fabricator, probably could have gotten it had we gone for another try, but it was late, one of the DPS accidentally went to EV after going to repair, and someone had to wake up in 4 hours.
Also I got 5 new bits of rakata, with the only bits I still need being stuck behind the bosses we haven't downed yet. (also a hat from Bonethrasher, but since I like my orange hat far too much to ever not wear it, the hat isn't a priority until we can pull the set bonuses)Man this thing was full of outdated stuff.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: If at First you don't succeed, reload
So... *puts on Guildmaster hat*
I've been wondering... what exactly would be involved in setting up some kind of voice communication for flashpoints and operations?
A couple of general guidelines if we do get some sort of server or something set up;
1) During combat, some degree of voice discipline is expected: Try to keep everything on topic during a fight. Stuff like, "Taking heavy damage!" or "Being chased by ball lightning!" or "Mind Trapped" are acceptable, and encouraged. "Look at this!" and "Hey! 5k crit!"... not so much. It's also a good idea to preface any important notifications with your name.
2) Out of combat, you should avoid eating, drinking, and listening to music. If the ops/party leader is strategizing, stay on topic. But occasional jokes are perfectly fine.
3) NO YELLING!
4) Limit your expletives. The occasional F bomb is understandable (Especially in the event of something like Soa resetting). Cluster F bombs and worse language are not.Last edited by Squark; 2012-02-23 at 10:04 PM.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: If at First you don't succeed, reload
Some sort of voice chat would definitely help, especially (theoretically) something like Soa, where "mind trapped" or "in the air" are both important to know and very easy to miss in text. Or just in situations where something new comes up and the plan needs to be adjusted for whatever reason.
Personally, I favor fewer restrictions on what is or isn't acceptable rather than more (and common sense should take care of most of it), but the list above seems pretty reasonable. I can see myself accidentally violating some of the above (since I'm used to talking with Thrain constantly, and we tend to violate all of those at one point or another) but it shouldn't be that big a deal.
I will say, (going back to the common sense thing) I think some off topic discussion can be fine, in parts. If we're just clearing trash in HM BT, and I get a 5k crit, I may well announce that, since it's never happened before . If what we're doing doesn't require all our focus, I don't see much harm in talking about whatever. Bosses, on the other hand, should be pretty much all business, obviously.
I'm probably overthinking this.
As for possible methods of chat: Thrain and I use mumble. Theoretically, he could just give people access to that server (on his computer), though I doubt he's keen on throwing his ip address around. Don't know what's needed to set up an outside server-ish type thing. I have no experience with ventrilo or teamspeak, so I can't say what would be involved or how easy it is (or if those are the only options). If all we would use it for was pre-fight strategy or something, Thrain and I used to just use the steam voice chat; the problem there is the lag between sending and receiving can get pretty bad, so it wouldn't work so well for in-battle adjustments.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: If at First you don't succeed, reload
The guild I run with uses Ventrilo, I suspect mainly because as one of the Penny-Arcade guilds, the PA vent is an established thing. We don't have any specific rules regarding conduct, but for the most part, if it's a boss fight, the only talking is related to the fight.

I want to give the Republic a look, so I joined up on Ebon Hawk. I made a trooper named Manliest because Manly was taken. I updated the spreadsheet.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: If at First you don't succeed, reload
I run a mumble server through mmo-mumble.com. The prices are pretty reasonable ($7/month for a 25 man server). And the latency is a lot better than Ventrilo. The PvPers in our guild were thrilled to have near real-time voice chat.

I LOVE IT!
Also, a brief public service announcement to all Vanguards/Powertechs, Assassins/Shadows, and Juggernauts/Guardians interested in participating in warzones.
If any of you are using Soresu/Dark Charge/Combat techniques/Ion Cell, and you're not guarding someone at all times, you should be hit upside the head repeatedly until you start doing so (and changing the guard to a healer whenever you see one).
I'm really starting to hate healing in PuGs for warzones.
You think they'd mind if we piggybacked onto it? I'll ask the question as soon as I can figure out how on earth to phrase the request.Last edited by Squark; 2012-02-24 at 05:28 PM.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: Hutts don't have feet!
To be fair, Guard turns when you get on and off of a speeder and often enough when you go from one area to another via a button (e.g. elevator). It's easy to run around not realizing it's not on any more until you see your party member/companion getting hit harder than they should be.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: Hutts don't have feet!
In case you guys are curious, I found a server population ranking. Some guy surveyed _many_ PvE / RPPvE servers over a few days and made notes/graphs. You might be interested. Here's the link.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: Hutts don't have feet!
Yeah, that's a rough estimate, but it's the best information we have. Surprised that Canderous Ordo is that far above everyone else on the East Coast. Is that some sort of unofficial server for a group (like Swiftsure was for Oceanic with PvP)?
Looks like Ebon Hawk is pretty high, and Rubat Crystal is about average. Surprised that the Rep/Imp balance is as good as it is on Rubat Crystal.
I made my thanksgiving beta character on Sith Meditation Sphere, and someone commented at the time that there were no Rebs. I forget whether someone mentioned that the name was very pro-sith or whether I realized it on my own, but it looks like that really turned out to be the case.
Mumble question, since I haven't messed around with the settings much: Is there a way to use a server but "isolate" yourselves or group up in some way within a server? Basically, is there a way to use the GiTP server without annoying people playing different games (and without hearing random chat from other people if we're on a boss, for example)?

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: Hutts don't have feet!
Hallo everynyan!
So, I hear this game is pretty cool. So far I have a Sage and a Vanguard on Ebon Hawk, and recently rolled a Commando on Rubat Crystal. I saw a Usually Lawful Evil operative today in Voidstar (and booted her off a bridge, sorry about that!), but don't remember who exactly.
Also some Empire toons on Krayt Dragon but nobody lives there so nobody has any reason to care.Last edited by Guancyto; 2012-02-24 at 09:03 PM.

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic II: Hutts don't have feet!
Republic may have a lot of folks, but in terms of PvP balance, Imps are mostly all Champ geared, with at least five Battlemasters that I know of by name, and a few more I don't know the names of, but have died to them before. There's a heavy gear imbalance that we're only just slowly catching up to on. Fun though when we win. Skill > Gear.

So I came across another awesome Inquisitor line recently on Alderaan. I like to think it's a stab at the game's many sidequests:

So, Mumble and SWTOR work fine. Took a loss doing financially doing HM False Emperor. Also had to retire my saber again... For a sword. There were endless jokes about this.

That's alright. Add me anyways and I can help you along. I started a Shadow. Currently at level 12, so I'll see how that goes.
PvP sabers are non-moddable, and I did switch to a random purple vibrosword I had in my inventory while I Sentinel DPS Off-tanked the Ancient Pylons encounter.Avatar by araveugnitsuga | Play by Post (Guide) | Steam
