For the Sith Warrior class quest, Strong Arm. It sends you to Belsavis. Go through the dialog and then travel to the next planet over, and then back to Belsavis and the dialog will happen again.

I didn't realize it would keep counting up so I only did it a few times. Wish I had known before turning it in.

He goes out in public like that..

Just something I have thought about.

Does that make Republic players complaints about Rakghouls on Taris Third World Problems?

Solo Gharj as DPS/Heals

2012-02-20T09:48:00.000-08:00

You can kill the second boss of the Eternity Vault without any problems. When you enter his cave, head into the left lower corner in the room (when you face him, go left through the lava) there is some rock formation.

You can jump on it and stay there. Pull Gharj and make him jump up that rock again. Gharj will now stand in the lava in front of you, doing no damage at all to your raid and you can dps him down (only ranged) without any problems.

Sometimes he will knock on the floor, doing some damage and knocking people down in the lava but the damage isn't that high, Just Heal through every time you are knocked back, or knocked down.

You can DPS him down without any problems, even when he is enraged.

Kill him and loot him, he won't be dead in the lava because there are some rocks that will reappear when you kill him and he will lie on them.

We downed him @ nightmare like that.

The level 25 speeders

2012-02-16T11:32:00.000-08:00

Those level 25 speeders remind me of the personal transports from Wall-E.

Bioware clearly wanted to upgrade their durability so they can survive crashing into trees.

SWTOR Has Ruined Me... Somehow I Don't Care. Mildly NSFW?

2012-02-16T11:30:00.000-08:00

The idea was good, but putting Malgus' head on the body ruined it IMO. Not only for the looks, but also because he isn't a SI but a SW.

Ohhhh, FrogDogs, I get it now...

2012-02-15T13:28:00.002-08:00

A good ornament to silently say 'Republic for life!'

Let's see how well this helmet fits to my beard.. wait, what?

I guess this is what you can call a wired bug. Funny though.

Why I hate assassins in PvP

Stealth scan perked with 100% chance root for 3 seconds, Stockstrike to the face. Win.

Family member was having a medical procedure done. This is a conversation I had with a friend who I play SWTOR with.

2012-02-06T05:15:00.000-08:00

I hate when people in wheelchairs block me from getting to the cashier npc in the cafeteria. Those really big ones. They just park it there sometimes to annoy people I think. Makes me just want to throw my jell-o at them. I think the huge drake mounts in WoW were the worst. When Cata launched it was so hard to click on quest npcs in the first area's.

M1-4X (trooper companion) looks and sounds like Thundercleese (from the Brak Show)

2012-02-06T05:10:00.000-08:00

He not only looks somewhat similar but his loudmouth over the top attitude and voice seem to be heavily inspired by the Brak show robot Thundercleese. Try compare: M1-4X to Thundercleese (videos may contain spoilers)

Get on top of Republic base in Ilum; pull Republics up, knock them off to their death

2012-02-03T12:41:00.000-08:00

While I don't demonstrate in the video pulling Republics up, you can do so and then knock them back. Lots of times the fall will kill them, giving you instant valor. You effectively climb the mountains on to the right of the Republic base (if you are facing it from an Imperials perspective)

This is great for when the republics are just parked inside their base. Additionally, you can even get to the OTHER side of the republic base up top by crossing the beam and following the path. Oddly enough, the turret doesn't kill you unless you are in LOS. I just assumed it was always insta death upon entering the area, but it is still LOS based.

Stack Battlemaster Bags.

2012-02-02T10:17:00.000-08:00

If you are a Champion(Rank 50) going for Battlemaster(Rank 60) here is a small tip:

You can stack pvp dailies and open like 20(or more) battlemaster bags once you reach Rank 60.

Accept daily which rewards you a Bag
Complete the daily (you might need to get transported by other players as this method bugs you out from using your ship. i will explain this later on)
Once you have complete the daily, talk to the terminal and instead of accepting the reward just close the window. it should show you a message that you got 1 reward pending and you just leave it there until you reach rank 60.

Rinse and repeat until you are rank 60 and you can accept all the rewards and open alot of battlemaster bags on one day.

How to get to ilum while using this bug:you will need a mate who brings you there
when he enters his ship while being grouped AND while you are in his phased area you will be tp'ed onto his ship

He gives you a ride and after this he leaves his ship and leaves his instanced area

You have to leave the group which will initiate a 30second timer after which you will be teleportet to the planet where he parked his ship on.

Once you are done on ilum just enter a warzone and get kicked out for being AFK, you will end up on the fleet

Further advice: you cant do karagas palace while using this exploit because you cant interact with the space shuttle

I did not test any other operations

Well that's it i hope you can enjoy this exploit and it will help you to get a kickstart on battlemaster gear once you reach rank 60!

This is the proof, on the top right it says german for "10 pending" which are solely pvp dailies AND you can push this even further!

Get Healing medals in WZ as DPS

2012-02-01T01:52:00.000-08:00

Annoyed you can't get more medals because you can't heal unlike the other classes?

You just need to get "Pure Shockfrozen Water" (which is used to get the magenta adegan crystal)

Everytime you use it, it will heal u for around 9-10k and give u a buff of "Refreshed and Sustained"
This buff can be removed by right clicking it and you can do use it again.
The Pure Shockfrozen Water is not consumed on use and only has a 10 seconds cooldown.

So just unequip your gear and re-equip it, or stand in fire in huttball to get your HP down.
Got around 200k healing done in WZ as Assassin with this.

The item cannot be used in combat. So it's not really useful anywhere else unless you can Vanish quickly and use it.

Win any Warzone in SWTOR in less then 2 min.

2012-01-30T12:01:00.000-08:00

Well, there is another bug that might get glitched soon. Instead of the traditional 5-10 minute warzones, you can trigger a faster game, 2 minutes to be exact. Here is how:

Get a group of 4 players together. Queue up for Warzones as a group.
when the Warzone queue pops up, let 3 of the members accept and the 4th member waits.
The 4th member will reset his/her UI by pressing ctrl + u two times.
The 4th person now enters the warzone.

The other 3 group members will be double-queued and a new warzone queue will pop up. DO NOT ACCEPT OR DECLINE; Instead simple click the X button at the top right to get rid of the queue. Your warzone team will be queued as though there were 11 people on your team. This will cause the imbalance system to take effect and the game will end (Too few players on opposing team side). In order to win,

Instant Respawn lvl 45 Gold Voss

2012-01-28T04:02:00.000-08:00

Found an odd thing where the quest [AREA] Gormak Sabotage has an instantly respawnable gold mob. He seems to consistantly drop around 500 creds and gives me 1920xp at lvl 45. The faster you kill him, the faster you respawn him.

Killing him once per minute for an hour gave me 30k creds and 115,200xp. This area quest is east of Outpost Skyline and in the northern section of the Gormak Lands.

So you know, the first part of this requires you to kill 15 mobs and break a few things. The next step is to kill two silver mobs that will also instantly respawn so long as you do not loot the quest item from them. The gold mob will be spawnable even after you loot the quest item.

Enjoy, I'm sure someone could bot this out with a geared healing companion, he doesn't hit hard at all.

Ilum - 8 min Respawn - Chest

2012-01-27T14:08:00.000-08:00

I am playing on my VERY old gaming rig, so forgive the screens. I will replace them with better screens when I get my 7870 for my current gaming beast.

I found a new 8 minute respawn chest on Ilum. There is nobody around this one on my server, which is nice seeing as all the other 8 min chests I know of are super camped now.

Planet: Ilum
Location: [108,2]
Screen of Map:

Loot so far:
3k-5.5k
Lv 44 Exceptional Medpac
Whites... :\
Multiple Lv 50 Greens
2 Lv 50 Blues

Its in a nice little colta-sack with one PASSIVE STRONG Lumbering Guid. It sits right in front of 2 frozen ponds.

Screen of chest:

I have looted it maybe 12 times now.

How to win in Voidstar PVP Easily

2012-01-27T05:56:00.000-08:00

As the attacking side, jump up on the ship behind the spawn point, up the wing. Get to the fuselage and jump over to a little knobbly bit (sry, if you try you'll see what I mean) and it lets you walk to the top - at which point you are on the 2nd highest level on the ship. Then you can jump right over the barrier. Requires some luck/skill, maybe those that are better with the jumping bug can get more reliable results than I, but it is repeatable and it does let you place the bomb before the game starts.

Mobs vision based on Movement

2012-01-27T03:54:00.000-08:00

So I had noticed in some area that if I had killed the mobs around a chest, looted the chest, logged out, and logged back in, even if the mobs has re-popped, I could loot the chest without aggro if I did not move.

I then saw this video and thought, it would be cool to be able to get to this chest and be able to farm it without having to kill these mobs constantly. BTW, low 30s chest, nothing impressive, but not a lot of people clamoring after it.

I then took a level 20's republic to this area, got near the chest, and the droids killed me. I then logged out while still "invisible", and when I logged back in, the droids would not aggro (screen shot of where I stood included). I then was free to loot the chest.

This might be a handy tactic for other areas of the game.

TL;DR version

Get to chest you want to loot (even if it has KOS mobs around it)
Get close enough to loot it and Log out (if you die, log out while invisible after rez).
Log back in, do not move, loot.
Profit!

Let me know if you have any questions or need more info.
