1000 Views & some updates

Hit the 1000 views milestone. Hip Hop Hooray!

Finally updating blog after a crazy month of January. I haven't been the most active Commander, but I do try to check-in when possible.

We are still a very active clan on the Altair server. Growing as a clan and doing big things!

Jugernaut69 is on a recruiting binge and looking into getting a Ventrilo server up for the clan.

A couple of patches have come and gone. Notable fixes are the raid loop, missile launcher, and npc info glitches.

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!

Level 50 Ship Builds

Edited the Builds page to reflect the new level cap increase. Adjust your build plans accordingly and have fun.

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.
