I Put On My Big Girl Pants And Did An Op

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on June 26, 2013 by NjessiJune 26, 2013

Two, actually. First was a 16-man Scum & Villainy Story Mode PUG.  Normally, I hate pugs.  But, in a fit of stupidity, I accepted the invitation.  Here’s why: I need gear I don’t know the fights at all and if … Continue reading »

OK boys and girls, enough whining.  Let me share what I’m psyched about! Character recustomization.  AAAAAA!!! Undignified squealing! I want this so bad you have no idea.  I just don’t even KNOW what I’d do first.  This is the biggest … Continue reading »

Sentinel Builds for 2.0: Initial Thoughts

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on March 21, 2013 by NjessiApril 15, 2013

I finally got around to playing with the skill trees for Sentinel.  Yeah, I know, I’m behind.  SHUT IT.  I used the Swtor Spy PTS calculators. At first glance, it looks like Combat gets a good headstart, because dual wield … Continue reading »

Meters Epeen

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on February 25, 2013 by NjessiFebruary 25, 2013

So, gulp, we started using meters.  It has been interesting. Now, you say, didn’t you play WoW?  Weren’t there meters all the hell over there?  Well, yes, but I was playing a healer at the time… and while healers use … Continue reading »

Flying Colorblind

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on February 20, 2013 by NjessiMarch 19, 2013

Did you know that about 1 in 10 men have some form of color blindness?  Let that sink in for a sec.  And now look at your raid roster. Throughout all my gaming career, I hadn’t up to this point met … Continue reading »

Devs Explain Dude, Where Were My Comms?

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on October 29, 2012 by NjessiOctober 29, 2012

We Get Answers About Our Comms You may recall my unseemly reaction to the removal of BH comms from story mode EC bosses and chests without so much as a peep.  Well, a the devs put out a statement finally … Continue reading »

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on October 9, 2012 by NjessiOctober 9, 2012

Toth And Zorn Are BFF With Ranged DPS So, this weekend, we’re bashing our heads against Toth and Zorn, the first bosses of Heroic EC, for the quintillionth time.  We are not quite beating the enrage timer.  They are going … Continue reading »

Dude, Where Are My Comms?

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on October 1, 2012 by NjessiOctober 29, 2012

With 1.4, story mode EC gives no black hole comms from bosses or chests.  Same with Terror From Beyond Story Mode.  We probably would have known this sooner, or even been able to discern it from the patch notes, if … Continue reading »

Black Hole Gear For Sentinels And DPS Guardians

Hawtpants of the Old Republic Posted on September 4, 2012 by NjessiFebruary 25, 2014

When I first saw the black hole gear, I was pretty damn disappointed.  Some items were an upgrade, a SLIGHT upgrade, over my Rakata stuff.  But in most cases I’d actually LOSE a hefty chunk of strength.  No. Way. Whilst … Continue reading »
