Now What?

Being Selfish And Lazy Because It Is “Just A Game”
There are a lot of things I should be doing. In particular, I should be making the gear on my operative the best possible, min/maxing, and generally being leet. In an ideal world, this would involve: Doing more raiding, likely in pugs, … Continue reading »

Getting Raid Ready (Again)

My Totally Reasonable List of Demands for 2.1
Hey there, Bioware. Me again. It seems like Santa Bioware has been busily working on my list, and practically half these things are accomplished. Which means they have time for even more totally reasonable demands. Hooray! 1. More Zabrak Hairdos. … Continue reading »
MK-9 Components are Expensive
Before 2.0, I could make bracers and belts, cheaply, to RE for parts for the top level (MK-6) augment kits. It was resource intensive, but not that bad. Now for synthweaving and armormech, it’s total bullshit to get components for … Continue reading »
Leveling the Playing Field for Crafters and Cartel

Black Hole Gear For Sentinels And DPS Guardians
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 »

Now That 1.3 Has Hit…
