So I have some time off coming up. Starting Wednesday night, I'm calling a BC flashpoint blitz! Let's get grouped up and get some social points and phat lewtz. By the end of the weekend (omitting the darned family time :p) let's get all our skanky companions into slave leia outfits!

I should be off half day Thursday and most of the morning Friday before I have to shuttle my ass to Cleveland for the Xmas trauma. Unless I am in queue  :why_so_serious:

I have a work dinner thing on Wednesday night, and I am unfortunately working during the day the rest of the week. However, Saturday and Monday are wide open for serious catassing in flashpoints.

Also, you know, the evenings the rest of the week are open as I pre-mitigated wife aggro for launch week.

Sounds like fun.  Only level 13 at the moment -- but interested nonetheless.

Typically I work 5pm - 1am pst (usually off Sunday and Monday, but the holidays are messing with that a bit), so I'll be able to help out Wednesday or thursday in the afternoon. Friday through Monday are sort of up in the air between family and friend stuff.

My gf is 900 miles away, and I'm off work. So I'll happily join in FPs and try to keep you alive. Switched over to full heal spec merc, it's working out okay but I need loads of practice. And FPs will let me send my little minions out to gather up more lovely metals and plastics to turn into mods.

On a related note, what's everyone's RE experience been? I'm getting blue versions on ~5% of my REs so far , which seems awfully low. Its so wasteful of mats it seems pointless. And who makes barrels, because I'm desperate for a more current set. At 25, my armor is better (Thanks Sky and the Light vendor) but my weapons are lacking

On a somewhat related note, I would like to say that I've done a number of Flashpoints with F13 guidlies so far and they've all been pretty fun (aside from that unnecessarily long lift ride in one of the Flashpoints).

I still need to do Hammer, Althiss (whatever the fuck you spell it), and everything there after when I level up for it.

Does BT drop anything besides those stupid boots?

Orange chestie and weapon drop... chestie from the droid and weapon from the Padawan. I ran this on my BH with my buddy on his Marauder... Everything that dropped was BH pieces... boots, chest, shield, weapon. It was hilarious. Of course, we ran around and did a shit load of heroics and single quests in DK and he got 2 purples to drop for him so all was ok.

I've done it twice and have seen mostly the blue boots (whatever they are call, I think I have 3 pairs), and one drop of a lightsaber. I'd be willing to do it a few more times in hopes of a chest piece ...

We did it three times got the BH chest once (yay) and boots twice (yay). I think the jedi dropped a robe every time? I wish the boots had been orange, too.

It's one of the FPs I want to do for social and I want that orange gun. The graphic on the orange from Hutta isn't horrible, but it's not my favorite.

I got me the Black Talon Operative's Jacket. Its keen.

My first nice item was the Black Talon Inquisitor's Vest.  I need to find the matching skirt in Orange.

We did a couple runs of BT. I was getting around 120 social points per run, and they went pretty quick. Basically didn't really need to stop for combat, just slaughtered everything and skipped through dialog (we've all done it a bunch of times). That's the quick version.

I'll also help the lowbies who haven't been through or seen the various permutations, I still enjoy the VO the first couple times through :) I like watching everyone's character's reactions.

I hit social II, one more rank for my tusken raider outfit!

Multi-branching dungeons is something I hope they expand on greatly, its such a cool feature.

Did my first run of Black Talon with some random people from /1 earlier. Awesome. Totally awesome, I was really impressed! And I got some new shoes, which was nice.
