League of eXtraordinary Beings

As more mains get to 50, there's a lot more we can do as a guild. I want to organize some, but most are limited to 4 player groups. But we can always divide into multiple groups. And many things are ripe for repeats!

FP: Obviously there's flashpoints, a bunch of normal mode ones, and all hardmode (which apparently is damn hard!)... 4 group limit. And any on normal for story for those who haven't... I highly suggest for Republic, Taral V and Malestrom. (need Taral before Mael) For any KOTOR fans it's a MUST! But the level 50 ones there's dailies for, which gets you comms for PvE gears.

PvP: Then there's also PvP - you can group 4 into a Warzone together. For dailys and fun. I know many haven't done much PvP, this can be good to get some started as once at 50, you're bracketed into that level and by now, many have high gear sets/expertise. And there's Illum too.

Operations/Weekly Guild Hunts: And Operations for groups of 8! I view these as the guild hunts of old... I'd like to soon do a weekly Operation (or FPs, or whatever can be many types of events) some night... (and of course anytime) but this can be fun.

Dailys/Heroics: Ilum and Belsavis has many, solo and Heroics. Always something to do.

And there's Datacrons, and higher level Heroics can do too.

I know Voxyn, Kall, Rekcals, Joie, Kellor, Deex, Krondo and Erisk are 50 now. I know some have chosen to focus on Empire more, which is awesome! And others busy but yeah soon enough many more will have 50 char's.

I'm thinking maybe this weekend, figure a time that works for most of the current 50s, can try an Operation. I know many different timezones, but was same issue in SWG and we worked through it

For the PvP.. i suggest u only try that if u can accept to lose ALOT.. 10-49 can be fun.. 50..well u will end up against t3 geard (best avaible pvp stuff) 90% of the time u ign up for a Warzone. Illum.. u wont get me there for pvp 4 lvl 50 frm u? nice.. 20-30 imp that charge into us.. usual stuff that will happen.. IF u can leave the rep base at all..

Operations.. sure! Ethernal Vault would be 1 id like to do. maybe we even get a bug free run ^^

Id stay away from hardmode till everyone got some better equipment or we get a better teamsetup together ( i am working on a sage that wil be heal if we are running low on that ^^)

This weekend. i hope i can be there this Saturday. Joie, me and a friend will be into RP but once thats done ill be there^^ should be in time for 1-2 runs of the new fp or illum/FE.

I know a PvE gear is gotten through hardmodes, ironic. But definitely need better gear/plans. And I guess PvP unless you did it a lot pre 50 you're kinda screwed after 50...

And forgot there's non-PvP dailys once you finish your class story on Corellia; on Illum and Belsavis.

So...
Now that we talking about it; what are we upto?
We need some kind of tool for people who want to creat group/fp/raid? No ?
or we just chilling? What about recruiding?
All i want to say was; what direction are we heading?

just my 2credits

I'm sure the end goal for most of us, is to do Operations on a regular basis. The problem, as mentioned, is gearing up. And based off of my own experiences, I see two ways of attaining the appropriate gear:

1) PvP till you're blue in the face, and get a set of Centurion or Champion gear.

2) Grab some Orange gear, and do Ilum/Belsavis/Corellia dailies till they're modded out.

In my opinion, it would be much quicker to mod out Orange gear, as you're not relying on a random chance to acquire PvP gear. And with the 50 bracket, it can slow down the process even further, and at times, not be all that fun.

If you spend about a week doing all the dailies, however, you would most likely have all your gear modded out. And, it would be equivalent to Centurion PvP gear.

If either of these options are something others would like to do, I'd be more than happy to help out with either. Could be another mini guild activity a few people could get together and do, while we figure out what else to do.

Kall knows the most about 50... and frankly, can't always get 4 ppl together all the time, so doing/helping dailies is good. (but remember finish class quest first, I still need to Modding oranges will be much quicker, and can set up to do HM FPs better and other things.

Direction of guild Krondo? More for another thread, but, I'm open for new members joining, just not randoms obviously, needs to be vetted, etc. Played with, I've played with a few same ppl enough I'd invite but they're all in other guilds I trust ppl inviting THEIR friends/family anytime.

Also, we have many members playing their Imperial alts more (and Imperial mains, 10 BSW ppl who joined LXB their mains are Imperial and lol they never play Republic). Which was expected. Others more casual/busy or doing alts.

As for PvP - it's just not fun at 50 now... 1-49 is a TOTALLY different experience it's not funny, it's so much fun before 50 I tried on Kale... they need to bracket 50s by valor... that will help, despite slowing things down. But if you're low on Valor and 50 you will lose, everytime, lose comms, and just not a grind I want to do... I'd group with 4 LXBers for fun tho, but not for gear... until they fix PvP at 50 a bit... Anyways...

There's stuff to do, a lot will be more casual log-in see who's on try get something going. But Weekly Operations and FP nights/days are stuff I'd want to organize further, and anything else play by ear. So to speak anyways

(OH and DATACRONs... Id like to get that 10 Stat one sometime, requires 4 ppl at 50)

As for HM Flash's, gear is key, so really as Kall said, getting dailys, modding gearing orange gear out with the purples will help a lot. Otherwise it's sort of impossible. Apparently Taral V and False Emperor are the "easiest" Hardmodes also.

It'll be a while before we do a full Operation as a guild - aside from numbers, it's gear - you really need good gear from dailys and PvP or PvE comms/crystals. AND - playing to win.

I think more likely until so, doing some HM FPs and Norm 50 FPs in a few groups... I'd suggest doing the normal 50 FP before HM versions (Battle for Illum, False Emperor (those 2 are connected in that order), Directive 7 and the Rakhghoul one. Those also yield daily comms. And need better gear for HMs.

I'll try to organize in-game when I see enough on, anyone feel free for same. Obviously, need the right classes, a healer some DPS and a tank and pretty much an hour.

I still have to do the ghul 1.. maybe we can try that today or till the weekend/or saturday/sunday.

Its suppost to drop lvl 50 items. i am sure many could use a upgrade for there cloth.
For the other cloth.. run a few daily quests and grab the weapon enhancing mods and the other avaible mod. There is a 2ppl heroic that grants a lvl 50 mod aswell, get that 1! i am always up to help if anyone is loking for those.

Coming to Operations, Ethernal Vault normal should be the 1 for u. I am not sure if i could lead anything like that but my suggestion would be: ( checking the ingame list of our lvl 50 )

Main Tank: Kall ( hands down, he got really good tank equip )

Off-Tank/DPS Hybrid: Id like to see Rek. hes playing tank, maybe he would be up to DPS till he can grab aggro of mobs Kall shouldnt take if he already got to many

Healer 1: Joie, He wasnt on to much the last days,but he says he would join once we got this running.
Healer 2: Deex, really have to get u into fps to equip u ^^

DPS: well 4 ppl that actually full damage spec. Focus on every item that kicks up your damage, relics for crit or attackpower, dailys for damage mods and forum check to see if u can improve your setup.

Well we should still have some HM experience and must be geared a bit for HMs and Norm Ops. Here's a guide for HM/Ops loot/drops for PvE comms...

http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=176836

I know Kellors been gearing up too, and is healer spec I believe at least he healed really well when he Cell, Rek and I did the Belsavis 4 Heroics. Cellside is 50 now and well needs some work gearing up Jedted is nearing 50... Zu is next closest, going to have a lot of DPS. Which is good.

Daily epic armor mods and barrel/hilts (126) are 8 dailys to buy... can easily outfit yourself in a few days that should be number one for ppl before HMs. HMs tho are what we'll be doing eventually more than Operations. If we can do them well and are geared we can jive the Operations.

I am only 2 armor pieces away from having all 126 Commando pieces. After that just have to change my barrel to a 126 one.

I have been doing my nakid run of the Heroic 2+ when no one else is there to help.

PvP is driving me nuts.

I am healer spec and more than happy to help whenever I'm needed. I'm fully kitted with the epic armor and light saber mods from the daily missions too. I'm a healing machine! A sort of anti-terminator (mainly because I can't really kill much spec'd as a healer)

Great! now u guys have to show up friday-saturday and saturday-sunday to get up 1-2 groups for test runs to assamble teams and see how everyone wil work together.

Ive gotten alot of work done for gearing so far. Just need to run the heroics 2+ on belsavis and ilum about 5 or 6 more times to get enough mods and enhancements so all my gear is slotted with purples. Also I don't suck as much as I was a few days ago, Ive got my abilities down so that I rarely die now. Still deciding if I should just slot another custom weapon or still try for a purple on my offhand, I did set up a new gun for my mainhand that is slotted with the 126 barrel
