Congrats, Zayder to wed Khem in private ceremony! [SE++ TOR] Check the Roster

you can use vent
it's just a separate program

However (since you've never used it) with vista/7 you may need to run vent as admin for your voice keybind to work

M.D.

Many thanks to rhylith, misix, and luvthemonkey for the great run through Colicoid games last night. I did manage to die in the fires of the last Boss, so that kinda made me feel connected to the Shamblers of old. This flashpoint was a perfect example of where using Vent would have made things so much easier instead of having rhylith type out the basics of all the different phases. Plus, it would help me immensely since I'm still learning better strategy while in a group dynamic.

Fun Fact: If you have really high Scavenging and Slicing, you can earn a robot buddy and a puppy to help you.

I have a 40 person vent we could use that i've had from rift if needed, to fill in until something else pops up

Javen

We have a Shambler vent that we should probably use for more than 2 hours a week to justify it

T4CT

I am willing to look into hosting Vent on my server for us

Me and misix were on vent!

I just figured people usually don't like using it so we didn't say anything.

Thank you to MrD and T4CT for their kind offers, but I think this is our best option right now.

Also, I'm going to try and update the Guild Roster this afternoon. If somebody from the Tauntaun side wants to send me a list from there, that'd be great.

Vargas Prime

Oh I didn't realize that someone had to host the Vent

I would be up for some voice chat, especially if I'm grouping with any guild members... which has not happened yet, I don't think.

Also, I tend to play late at night, when me saying rude things to you people might annoy my wife/wake my child

These games should just have a voice chat option for Guilds and Groups, jeez already

Yukira

Let me tell you about in game voice chat options.

They are terrible.

WoW tried to do builtin voice chat
they didn't do a very good job with it

but seeing how WoW's turned out, I don't think Bioware is going to be too keen on doing their own

I Win Swordfights

I just don't play any other games but street fighter anymore

I'm trying to play dark souls but I get bored within a few minutes

I'll come back to other video games someday

Most of all

I will miss @Depressperado

Vargas Prime

I don't know

It just seems like there should be a not terrible way to implement voice chatting in-game

At least between party members, if not guild-mates or people on your Friends list

Vargas Prime

I miss you, Swordfights

even though I've never gamed with you, I miss you

achingly

In game voice chat means that party/raid communication is beholden to in-game lag, which can lead to a myriad of problems.

Yukira

Didn't we try to do a raid with Blizzard's voice chat once? That was hilariously terrible.

Moreso than having to type everything that you want to communicate to your party members?

Both times! We ended up typing everything out anyway because people would randomly lose their push to talk key or their sound would totally bug out.

M.D.

how big was this update?

Yukira

Or the "who's talking" thing would disappear only to reappear right on top of my action bar.

Javen

I think there are other voice chat options that don't require someone to host a server, like skype or teamspeak or another that I can't remember the name of, but I think the free ones don't allow the high volumes of players on a single server that vent does. Most people roll with vent because it was the only one that let everyone in a 40 man raid in the same server back in the day.

I am excited to dive into an MMO with some vigor again

That's probably why Republic players always get fucking giddy whenever they manage to kill an imperial player.

I was in Tattooine levelling my Sentinel yesterday and people would throw a fucking ticker tape parade in general whenever they killed a sith or something. Sith could have been caught off guard at 10 percent health fighting mobs but man, were they forever pleased with themselves.

So it is literally space Cho'gall then?

Has anyone's Tauntaun Milk characters come across Imperial gankcamping yet?

Day of the Bear

Oh hey they nerfed normal mode directive 7 bullshit boss

I might run that place again now.

Also are the allied weequay pirates referred to in the battle for ilum notes the adds on the second boss? Because if so that fight should be moderately more doable now. All the more since we could already down it it was just kind of a bitch.

Pretty sure they are.

I was lamenting the other day how slow gearing up via dungeons was, when I remembered that you could actually do more than one a day. I wanna do more than one a day! I guess that's where some kind of LFD system comes in handy, though.

Day of the Bear

I am home from work today due to snow and I just want people to be online so we can go do flashpoint!

Zay

Okay DotB I'm getting on right now.

I will keep tabs on you, so that when we are the same level for like, a day, we can group up

Then you will pass me, and I will be alone again

Just me and Khem Val, kicking rocks

If this is anything like Gears 3... During Flashpoints, T4CT will come up with a strategy to defeat a boss or obstacle, but then charge wildly at the enemy when it's time to execute.

Good times!

T4CT

pretty much my mentality at all times

i am a very good strategizer

rhylith

Apparently this patch broke pvp valor gains in a big way. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a rollback.

Wonder how this slipped through. Bleh.

Beasteh

hilarious side effect of patch 1.1 breaking everything: slicing has been un-nerfed

i've been making 20k+ an hour running tier 3-5 rich missions for lockboxes

Day of the Bear

oh my god really?

Time to log on and slice the shit outta stuff

Yukira

Make me some cash.

Der Waffle Mous

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

End

huh that's interesting

Vargas Prime

Looks like I'm actually playing my second character

and she's going to take up slicing after all

M.D.

hahahaha

now if only i could get on the game instead of it downloading then installing the going whoops error repair now download this 11 gig file, oh finished that error again

minor incident

Wait. Seriously? Slicing was (accidentally) un-nerfed? Why didn't I log on and send my crew out on some missions when I went home for lunch??!

M.D.

yep looks that way, reading the forums trying to see if they are gonna put it back someone posted some trial runs with it:

The Automated Saboteur - Rich Yield - Cost 870/Payout = 2180
Pointing Fingers - Bountiful - Cost 1250/Payout = 1900
Be Careful What You Read - Bountiful - Cost - 1175/Payout = 2104
The Fly on the Wall - Rich - Cost - 1930/Payout = 4702

M.D.

why is this game so buggy

ok so after 3 tries to install the patch and getting an error which resulted in havign to download an 11 gig file then getting an error after that I uninstalled/reinstalled

it finally completed the download this time and now it just crashes to desktop whenever I start the game
