Players start or join a guild for many different reasons. Friends creating a guild together, an Elder Game player joins a progression guild or players band together for PvP. I’ve even seen one-player guilds just for the vault space. Whatever the reason, guilds can be the one thing that keeps a player coming back.

As a member of an MMO guild, contributions to the community are a direct reflection on your value to the team. How, what and why you contribute to the group is seen by all members and distills into a single statement.

When you are not around do the members say:

“It would have been better if you were here.”

This is a undeniable indicator of your contributions.

To parse or not to parse. That is the question.

I was trolling on fleet the other night when the guild’s best healer starting chatting with me in gchat about my heal parses.  He wanted to me to start uploading my combat logs.

I kind of paused because I never really gave it much thought. Only once before had I even looked at TORParse and I used to run MOX when the raid leader would ask us to.

But finding out how many heals per second I put out during a raid is just something I’ve never really worried about. I’m confident in my heals and, to be honest, spend far more time worrying about the group’s performance and whether DPS in the group are quick enough on their feet.

Credits and the Economy is what really rules the Galaxy, at least that’s what the Star Cabal told me. There are many ways to earn a living in SWTOR, and many ways to go broke. I’ll look toward the former in this column.

The MK-9 Augment Kit. All Elder Game players want you, many can not obtain you. Most players are unable to construct them, so they must buy them from another player.

When relying on others for goods you desire it will cost you. So the question is… What’s the actual Value and Cost of a Mk-9 Augment Kit?

This week we sit down with Mark Jacobs and discuss his Kickstarter project: Camelot Unchained. Our conversation ranges from what to expect in the game to going over his founding principles and getting to the bottom of what he wants his game to become. Camelot Unchained looks to bring old school RVR/PVP ideals to a modern game. While not shooting for a AAA game created to support millions of players; Mark Jacobs hopes to fashion a game for RVR players only. Not sacrificing design to make everyone happy, Camelot Unchained hopes to bring RVR to its niche market.

Hey everyone,

I apologize as this was not intended to be implemented, which is why we did not have a patch note for it. We can completely understand that there are some privacy concerns around this right now. If someone whispers you through your main while you are logged into an alt it will not actually show them the name of your alt unless you respond. We understand this will let them know that you are online, however, if you do not wish for them to know your alts named, simply do not respond to the whisper.

We will be working on fixing this in a future update, I will have more information as I have it.

The question is… Will it cross factions?

A good healer knows their abilities keeps the team pushing content. They also decide who watches the fight face down in the decking. Chosing to perform the role of Medic in SWTOR is reserved for a special mindset.  If you desire to share that mindset, check out our Healing 101 guide here.

The biggest thing the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion did for Star Wars: The Old Republic was make having skill more important than having gear.

Tanks and DPS who have their rotations down can do some serious work in the level 55 content even if they don’t have the pretty gear.  For the purposes of this column, though, I’m going to focus on healing.
