[CaptainRAVE]

Ive tried to get Toxine and creed a shout but the names must be wrong they dont exist?

My ingame name: Sair

Means they aren't online

 

[CaptainRAVE]

ok registered .. Snaggle on forums and ingame .. ty

Will invite you once you come online (annoying that we cant invite while people are offline!)

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Rave.

As an addition to the OP why don't you try and find out who the officers are who people should whisper for an invite for the main OcUK/OcUK friend guilds?

A lot of people keep asking the question so might be useful!

A very good idea, it is a question that has certainly been asked a lot.

Have added a section to the OP called "Guild Invites".

I have added two officers off the top of my head from TDR, but the guilds will need to let me know who to add to the list (feel free to trust me)

 

[CaptainRAVE]

You don't seem to have: It's A Tarp - Republic - Frostclaw on any of the lists (McDaniel's guild).

Serenté/Buck/Ulkesh for invites.

Added

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Can you add in:

Lords of Nightmare (Nightmare Lands PvE) - Empire

OcUK Friendly Kin (Same as XSGamers)

Officers:

Smurf
Spam
Bubzi
Farcough
Mixxy
Spoontard
Taranisa
Theosen

Have added you to the list - check that the detail I have put are correct.

OP please either have us as the correct faction or just remove us from your post, think its been said 200 times we a Republic guild yet you still list us as empire.

wab, seriously, chill. There are about a million and one things going on and a load of different names floating about. I have given 3 different ways to contact me in the OP - things get lost pretty quickly in this thread. Anyway, have updated the details.

If anyone's on Flames of the Crucible server, give us a shout for a invite to our guild, small but social guild! /w Paige , /w Oxygene or /w Targaryen ! Sees ya in game!

EDIT: Empire ofc!

What is the name of your guild? Would you like to be added to the OP? Is it primarily a OcUK guild, or a "friends of"?

Hope I haven't missed anything

 

[CaptainRAVE]

If any of you guys still want a invite to the Dark Immortals I am on my Sith now, Creed.

Creed? You aren't on Frostclaw too are you? Have seen someone else by that name, wondered if it was you.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Nope not me, both our guilds are on the same server Nimam The Immortals, Republic (note its The Immortals not Immortals) and The Dark Immortals Sith side Niman server.

Added like that server name you on

Updated and added your empire guild to the OP. Check that the details are correct. Do you want me to add any officer names that people can whisper to get an invite?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Any chance of an invite to the dark religion on Frostclaw, Zego and surtr don't seem to be online. In game name is Distraught. Poping out for a smoke so will be afk for 10.

Also just choosing my advanced class specialisation, Is the agent operative make a decent healer in this game?

Will try when I get back on - having huge connection issues atm. Will also add more names to whisper shortly.

Im a level 19 sith assassin on frostclaw! Looking to join a friendly social guild if theres any about!

In game name is Zarek

Thanks!

Take a look at the first couple of posts - you will be wanting to join The Dark Religion

Hoping to get on in the next couple of hours - hopefully I don't have any issues with lag this morning!

I've decided to go Biochem on all my toons... Reusable Medpacks / Stims so much more handy.

Sure the other stuff is nice - but you out level it so quick!

Agreed, I don't know how I would survive without biochem tbh. Plus, the implants sell almost instantly on the exchange.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Had an excellent teaming session with Demiah earlier with the Alderaan bonus series (the series is huge!). Means I can skip Hoth though (that place is blinding!!) - 2 teamed a Heroic 4 too (mostly by pushing the elites off the bridges).

Anyone else annoyed by the load times? I'm running it off a SSD, and it still feels clunky.

Same - got it on my SSD, and wouldnt like to think what it would be like otherwise. Some of the larger areas take a long time to load - then again, beats seeing loading screens all the time once you are on a planet. What I don't get is why switching instance takes so long.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

When's the server maintanance start up, today or tomorrow? (at work currently).

Tomorrow morning I think - pretty much while I am in work

On Belsavis now and nearly 44 - still enjoying the sith warrior class story.

Hoping to get on again a little later.

I'm tired of seeing players who just sit in stealth and leech xp/cash/valor in PvP instances. All they have to do is move a bit every now and then and they don't get kicked for inactivity.

Do they not lose xp and cash if their team loses the match? Haven't done any PvP myself yet.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Sweet, they finally fixed the chat window problem

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Juggernaut is a lot of fun in pvp.

Force charge in (2 second stun) - force push some dude off a bridge/edge/into fire or poison to kill him - force choke the 3rd dude (instant cast no channel) - bash the 4th - spam the AOE slowdown (rage free & instant cast) - while interrupting and de-buffing them all for your team-mates to slaughter .

The damage isn't bad at all + with both defensive CD's up - you will not die for at least 12/15 seconds, 30+ if you use the +30% hp + healing potions.

Agreed, endgame Jugg is pretty bad ass - a whole range of useful abilities, and not bad DPS either. Myself and a sorc managed to two team a 4 person heroic

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Nearly 47, but finding it a little tedious now. Too close to 50 not to push on though

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hi there guys, relatively new to this MMO business but ive got to say im loving this atm. Currently rolling a lvl 15 Sith Jug on FrostClaw and just starting balmorra after getting my ship. I have the intention of hopefully joining the OCUK guild but thought itd be best to introduce myself here first rather than registering on the other forum so hi! any tips or advice you guys can give me, for example im noticing an extreme lack of force powers but just assume i need to level up more before i get choke etc?

So far been soloing throughout but think its about time I got involved in the social aspect.

You really should join us

The Sith Jugg (my main) really comes into its own later on - the best powers start around level 30.

Seems pretty fair I reckon

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I prefer red tbh - what I am keen to get is a level 50 vader style helmet that I can mod (gutted I outlevelled my last one).

Well into 48 now and quite enjoying Corellia. Think I will get to 50, finish my class and possibly roll a new alt. Potentially a sorc.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Finally level 50!

Still havent finished the class story. Might roll an alt next.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Finally finished the class quests. Not really sure what to do now though!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

anyone know of a market site for this where you can see approx values of gear?

Got a purple "advanced guardian hilt 2" but no idea on prices etc, or is it just a case of trying to find similar in the market ?

I just go with the recommended price when selling on the market - even then things don't always sell.
