As a temporary fix, you can play most MMO's through a tethered 3G connection. You won't be able to reliably use TeamSpeak, but the game will run fine as long as no one calls/texts you. I leveled a warrior from 0 to 85 in WoW doing this at the office on my laptop.

If Elder Scrolls Online is half as good as it's solo RPG library, I'm going to be a very happy gamer.

In doing the new raid, it seems the WeekEnd group is hitting a wall at the first boss encounter. After no succes with varying YouTube videos, we could use some hands on advice. Would it be possible for someone who's in the WeekNight group to step in and share the strats with us?

Judging by what the group is wearing, I don't think we're missing a gear check.

My Level 36 Gunslinger (Milhouse) is through chapter 2, so I'm good there.

My Level 50 Guardian (Vanhouten) is available to help folks on Friday mornings to early afternoon.

Non-VR Games / Running an alt through chapter 2

« on: April 16, 2012, 09:10:57 pm »

Having your alt finish chapter 2 in their class quests means your main gets their buff. For example, my Jedi Guardian now gives the Smuggler buff.

Having a level 50 player run you through this really helps you move along quickly. Brighid, a Commando, ran me from the beginning of chapter 2 to the end of chapter 2 in the space of one day.

What it doesn't do is give your alt a lot of experience points. The 50 absorbs most of the XP, so by the time we got to the end we were fighting level 41's while I was only level 34.

You'll still see the whole story line and experience all that fun, but it won't be a tactical challenge at all.

Per Broin's suggestion, take the opportunity here to let people know you've got an alt that needs leveling or you've got a 50 that's willing to help someone out.

Hopefully everyone can work out a quid-pro-quo and get all the buffs in FA's Flashpoints, Warzones and Operations.

So far the rewards are Black/Green color crystals, a baby Rakgul pet and an appearance kit to make your companion look infected

You will be sorely missed. Now go enjoy yourself, wherever that may lead.

We really need permanent (sticky) lists of all the patterns our Crafting Masters have for this to really work well. I know that notion was started, but nothing every really took hold, and the threads that are there are mostly filled with, "OOoh I'm a crafter too!".

As it stands now, if I'm wondering if someone can make my tank a better implant(or whatever), I need to ask in /guild. Then I'll be directed to whomever might be able to do it and if they're on, and not in a ops/flashpoint/warzone, they'll take a minute to see what they might have. If they don't, I guess I need to pester them from time to time to see if they got any new patterns.

Can we get a redux of the Crafting stickies and lock them for just the Masters updating what they can make? Also, a sticky locked for just the Masters to request the materials they need would be useful too.
