Looking ahead

Can't say I'm impressed with the clan attendance. I blame the Episode 3 patch, SWTOR, or Life for scaring off most of the members, but I'm impressed with those who have stuck around. Also I'm grateful for my regulars who come in just to check-in. They will always have a place in GBK now and in the future.

Getting ready for the next round of dismissals/demotions for those who have not paid dues. Thinking of re-focusing clan activities to Warzone/PvP arenas. The Genides don't have much of a presences in these areas. Will recruit more based on Freelancer experience now, with highly polished piloting skills.

Raids are running smoothly. The epic blueprints are nice, but they can't be traded. Such as let down guess I can just stare at it and it will magically craft itself.

I really need to work on the Activity Tracking page to show what individuals have done/contributed for clan.

Otherwise, looking forward to the new year with all of you!

Episode 3 disaster

Patience be damned...

A.I. difficulty is far too imbalanced. Crafting/modding is screwed up. Clan terminal missions are unavailable. Only 1/2 of the new Warzones were added.

My rage meter is filled and rant has been posted. Might take a few days off from the game to re-focus and let the bugs iron out.


Edit: Rage is subdued. PTS will be re-opened to test difficulty changes. Testers are welcome and please leave feedback on forums.

New Equipment vs Old Equipment

Patience is such a virtue in the virtual world...

Check out the Exile Clans rant on the differences between new and old equipment.

Long story short...

The Episode 3 patch didn't re-stat all equipment. New ship parts (i.e. cockpit, engine, wing, and shield) all have a single resistence stat. While old ship parts have none, other than wings which have spread resistence stats. This also applies to any mods intalled in ship parts and weapons.

Detail info on the Balance changes here.

Also due to all the changes Black Prophecy has announce a special event here.

~SC~ Wolfpac Fail

So the other night xinopin and myself are in the metal refinary doing a clan resource mission. When ~SC~ Wolfpac crashes the party.

Xinopin is dead. I'm at the refinary defending. Wolfpac and I have a little convo.

Wolfpac: Couldn't help it wanted to PvP
Wolfpac: You gonna hide
Me: Sure
Wolfpac: Sad
Me: I still mine resources
Wolfpac: Sad
Wolfpac: Hold still I want to fraps you, so I can put on youtube LOL
Me: Okay

He proceeds to come in for attack. I kill him twice.

Me: Can I have a copy of that video?
Wolfpac: :) I'll be back :)

Xinopin and me complete resource mission without any further disruption. Also, Wolfpac logged off, what happened to coming back?
