Went to swotr.com to see if any news and it was offline. Checked with twitter and facebook. They're doing the update now. But both Facebook and Twitter have the same lame message, telling you to click on a link for more information but that link leads to the web site which is currently down. I suggested on Facebook that next time they just post the whole message there. Telling people to go lock at a website that's currently down to find out how long its going to be down isn't too bright.

I think I finally got my male Togruta character settled. Character creation is hardest part for me, I keep changing my mind about how they should look. I had to give up on trying to make female. Easy for me to make a male character first. I'll go back to work on a female one later.

Enter the Togruta - was originally longer, with more clips but I had to cut it way down to fit on youtube.

Small addition I don't think was mentioned in update notes: a bag containing random crafting items can now drop. First time I got a high level crafting drop on lower level character. Later, I got low level crafting material on higher level character.

These SWTOR chains are making me consider loading up the game again. I was in the founders group, but the Sith guild I had joined kind of fell to pieces when the admin had a tizzy fit over a minor difference of opinion. After that, playing outside of a regular guild just wasn't as much fun due to some of the rude players that started popping up. That and my characters got wiped when they did an upgrade to the servers/game. I suppose that's the way a lot of MMO's go, but now that it seems to have leveled out and there's so much more content it's really getting tempting. I miss setting enemies on fire. LOL

You SHOULD come back @Trail_Mystic - right now before july 31 - so you'll benefit from the perks until new expansion comes out this october I'm sure my guild TorWars/z will be more than happy to have you join.

Thanks Misslilo! Looks like I'll be loading things up. I'll probably start out small and get a new character build going in the latter part of next week to get back in the swing of things. Don't want to embarrass myself by tripping over a light saber or something. Then I'll let you know when I'm most likely to be online. Does your guild hang out on a specific server? It's been so long since I played I don't know if they still give a choice of server selection or not... Update: Holy cow! I definitely have missed a lot! I just reloaded my SWTOR via the DVD's (I've got the collector's version so want to make sure I get all that cool online swag that came with it *Bling!*)signed into my old account, re-established my subscription and am now, even after locally loading the main game, downloading the gigabyte upon gigabyte of new content. Looks like it's going to be a looooong night That's what I get for staying away for so long.

The more stuff they add the longer it takes for their server updates. Last couple were over 12 hours and all they did was add cosmetic stuff. Downloading updates on my end only took a few minutes. Maybe they'll split the new content in October over more than one server update.

Does your guild hang out on a specific server? It's been so long since I played I don't know if they still give a choice of server selection or not... Yeah, we're on Shadowlands. Forgot the exact name for the guilds. We have on both rep and pub side. If you're on twitter then you should follow these peeps - they have the magic power to let you in. @Hooraayyyy / @SableFlame / @Kayeri & @OldDiggit I think there's a few requirements, forgot which though. Here's the application form. Dane Edit: Just found this - (1) type /cjoin Sunshine in the chat window to join the Sunshine channel and ask for a guild invite.

Thanks misslilo! I was surprised that even though my original characters were blown away by server changes so long ago I'm still able to access my legacy name, that's cool Once I get a character going that's guild worthy I'll submit an app. I'm going to start the grind today and clear out my mailbox, way too many messages. Since I've been away for so long I'll start with a basic Sith Warrior/tank build. That will help get me reacquainted with the controls. Once more unto the breach..!

If you collect mini pets buying cartel coins from amazon will get exclusive pets. I did once, got a space ship mini pet. Now its different rancors for different amounts of coins. Other stores may have their exclusive pets too. You go to swtor.com to enter the code. Then the mini pet will arrive in game mail, for all your characters.
Small update tomorrow. Must be minor bug fix their only estimating 2 hours downtime.
Cantina tour to Seattle August 26th canceled so the team can spend the time working on Knights of the Fallen Empire. Instead will be a livestream to talk about it, which will include the link to the code for another free mount and 1 random item.

If I recall correctly way back when there wasn't a provided voice chat function and most were using 3rd party. Anyone using an in game voice chat app for SWTOR, if so which one?

I cant keep a headset, the cats chew through the wires. Been a long time since I've did an ops, so don't really have much use for voice chat anyway.

Just a reminder if you subscribe by Friday you'll get Nico Okarr Companion when Knights of the Fallen empire goes live. I think some people missed that point, the rewards are not given on the last date to get them but when the expansions starts. Subscribed on August 31st you'll get Nicos blasters, September 31s you get his coat. Subscribed October 19 get Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™ - Inspired Swoop Bike. If you read the short story you know there is a mystery about Nico Okarr, he apparently hasn't aged in 40 years.

He's a smuggler who in the story has taken up bounty hunting. Thats probably so he fits in with both republic characters (smuggler is a republic alsss) and imperial characters (bounty hunter is imperial class). Brothers - new story about the twin brothers from Knight of the Fallen Empire trailer. Poor Thexan, he didn't see how his brother's hatred of their father had turned him to the dark side. Nice twist that the one dressed in black is light side and one dressed in white is dark.

Well, got my character up to level 12 so far. He's a Sith Warrior, Juggernaut/Immortal AKA Tank by the name of The Illustrious Norbano on the Shadowlands server. Been getting back into the swing of things. Just hit the first Heroic +2 quest (Red Machine), not sure if I'm going try and enlist help or just level up a bit more and hit it solo...again. Did pretty good against the fire spitting slugs until the second wave hit. Didn't have enough health left to fend off the big ones. They will pay though, yes, they will pay Sorry just getting into character I probably will give it a few more solo attempts, but then might send out a call for this weekend if the big worms keep knocking me down. What is it with worms and my game characters? LOL! Update: Went better as planned. I forgot about "acquiring" Vette. She has a smart mouth, but is a great shot with a blaster. Finally, I'm off to the fleet.
