Bat Country remade on Ebon Hawk-Imperial

[Ingmar]

I got tired of waiting for Sky, so get your invites when you can. My main Imp guy is named Obrax, but anyone should be able to invite.

[Raguel]

Do you guys actually roleplay? Just curious because I stink at it. 

[Ingmar]

No, not at all. Well, I guess I can't be sure what people get up to on their own, but not in the guild. We're just on the roleplaying server for the lower proportion of asshats and the entertainment value of other people's terrible roleplaying while we're browsing the GTN, etc.

[Sjofn]

Fordel occassionally tries to goad me into it. I would be marvelous at it, I am sure. 

[Ingmar]

I am really considering going around on my JK and chastising all the flirting Jedi on the Republic Fleet.

[Zetor]

I wonder if someone tried to 'clean up' Goldshire on Moon Guard (WOW)... and if so, how'd it go?  

[Sjofn]

People Horde-side would occassionally go kill everyone in Goldshire, but that's about it. I don't think anyone really had any illusions they could clean it up or anything. It was sort of a tourist attraction, really. Or a piece of performance art. The rest of the server was almost disappointingly normal in comparison.


And Ingmar, I will ... I don't know, load the dishwasher if you do that. Because that would be fantastic. 

[Raguel]

Well I caved and have a sub so I'll be around.  This may be the first mmo I reach max level with. (Actually it's much more likely I'll get burned out by level 30 but a man can dream  )

[Sjofn]

My main Imperial is Yulla if you want to shoot me a tell for an invite, then. 

My Republic people are listed in the New Names thread. :P

[Raguel]

So today I learned that doing /who bat country doesn't give the desired results  . The first person I contacted thought I was insulting him, and then I ended up joining another guild. Oh well, I'll make more alts 

[Sjofn]

Honestly, joining a different guild isn't the worst idea ever for the Empire side.

[Nevermore]

Searches seem to be OR rather than AND with the keywords, so searching Bat Country returns everything with 'bat' in it.  Which is a lot.  Just search Country and you should only get actual Bat Country people.  Which typically will probably be 0.

[Raguel]

Honestly, joining a different guild isn't the worst idea ever for the Empire side.

You play Republic and Empire on the same server? But there aren't enough char slots!!!!

[Sjofn]

Man, do not get me started. 

[Raguel]

I'm only going to have maybe one or two Jedi on this server. Turns out I really like being eeevilll and shooting people in the face when they mouth off. 

[Lantyssa]

The Consular story surprisingly allows a lot of that.  I'm curious how it turns out for the eeevil types.

[Sjofn]

Yeah, if you want to be an evil consular, you can be pretty fuckin' evil.

[Raguel]

I actually have a sage, but I'm playing him straight. If I make a shadow I may go dark.

[Amaron]

Man, do not get me started. 

By the time you get each class story done with each sex they'll add some new races you want.

[Sjofn]

I'm close-ish to finishing all the classes (SW is 38 or so, and I have a male BH I'm working on (on the OTHER fat RP server) while I wait for Ingmar to want to play his IA). Then I get to start over, I guess! 

[Raguel]

Man, do not get me started. 

By the time you get each class story done with each sex they'll add some new races you want.

Is there a reason to do the class story with a different gender or are you making fun of us? :p

[Sjofn]

Different romance options, different flirt options, and sometimes different lines. It's not a huge difference for most of them really, but I loved my dude smuggler so much more than my lady smuggler due to those differences.

Quick, someone get doessjofnstillhatecorso.com up.

[Raguel]

There are many things that I dislike about this game (well really all newer mmorpgs and dikus in general) is constantly having to worry about gear. What I like though is mod-able gear. I just wish everything was mod-able.  Couple that with always being on a planet that is 4 levels below me and I always feel like my gear is underpowered (maybe I just stink at mmos :/) .

 What's the best way to get mod-able gear for yourself and your companions (e.g. do missions, pvp) and components to keep gear at your level?


Also if anyone's rolling new alts let me know. I've struck out trying to get my old EQ1 friends to join. 

[Ingmar]

You can usually get empty oranges pretty cheap on the AH these days.

[Sjofn]

If you like PvP, there's some oj stuff to be had there, too. The level 20 stuff is oj pants and chest and boots and gloves? I think? And level 40 is everything except bracers and belt. That all has mods in it already, and the PvP stat doesn't show up until the level 50 gear.

[Phred]

As well low level missions will get you low level orange patterns which are really what you want. I don't know which missions yeild med/light/heavy armor patterns but I can't believe there's not a list out there by now. Even the ah price on blueprints is really low for most of them.

[Raguel]

Someone told me he got his companions to max affection solely on conversations + Legacy bonuses. I don't see how that's possible. Kaliyo has been a pain. The last two have been super easy tho, so I guess it's possible.

[Ingmar]

It might be technically possible but it would be a micromanagey pain in the ass.

[Sjofn]

I could see doing it if you're really diligent about stuffing whoever you maxxed into your ship and never letting them out again. For example, I gave absolutely no shits about what Kira thought but had her affection really high on mostly conversations (I didn't want to start feeding her gifts until the people who got the max plus out of what she liked were finished off) because we happened to agree on almost everything.

Still, gifts are so easy to come by, I don't really see the point unless you really, really want to see if you can.

The later companions ARE a lot easier if you're careful about your conversations, simply because they get so much more affection per ping (although they also lose more).

[Zetor]

I maxed the last consular and trooper companions in like... a planet's worth of quests (incl. the class quest). Their affection gain rate is ridonkolous.

In fact, the only companion I didn't max on my trooper was Jorgan. 

[Sjofn]

Yeah, without fail, the main companion I need to pump with presents to get their affection up is the first one I get.
