Avian Gamers Network

hi,
how are you guys doing ?
i am done with school and have way too much time on my hands so i thought with the 14-day-trial out i give SWG another shot.
First off: what happened to the PA hall on Avian - the first thing i did after i arrived was to check out that spot west of keren but all i found was a nasty mob. i read that it is on Talus now - but how come ? i was suprised to walk through Theed at US peak times (has this game become laggier ?!) and not see a single Avian soul... anyways - how is business on talus ? are there any avian vendors outside talus/AC ?
what happened to the companies ? - seemed like most of them slepd in. anyways, i am going to grind a bit more on naboo and then move to Talus.
Have most of the companies their houses and vendors on talus bc i plan makover on the company list. Then i would add locations and pictures.
Wha are most people doing professionwise ? i guess there are fewer crafters than back at the beginning. i am now going for scout with rifle and 2H support - eventually i might go for ranger if i stay in the game. i would thn be supporting the crafters by gathering resources. how is the resource situation ? i think that there are fewer ppl grinding to become crafters - so how did the resource drain and the market develop ?

see ya in-game

Awesome to see old faces return to the nest!

Yep, we're all situated on Talus and have our own shuttle now. Shops and merchant tents abound along Merchant Row (just S of the city and PA halls). Currently, it seems a portion of the membership is playing on TC but that's a temporary thing. Others, such as myself, have found playtime limited but when I am online, I'm working Liro (currently a Master Smuggler) towards Master Rifleman. My alt, Liracca, is a Master Architect and Master Artisan, now going for Master Merchant. Eventually, I'll use up the rest of his points on Rifleman.

It seems quite a few of us are in a wait-and-see mode with regard to JTLS and I think we'll see Avian become more active during that time. Whether that level of activity is maintained will be determined by the overall success of the expansion. We're hoping!

Hey, nice to see you back. I think you'll find that a lot of things have changed since you were gone.

As for my characters... Iain is a Master Smuggler/Master Merchant. He owns two merchant tents, one in Avian City on Talus, and one just outside of Coronet. Basically selling sliced armor and weapons. Aedan just recently made Master Armorsmith, and I'll be going for Master Rifleman with him soon, as well.

I'm not sure if you're still listed as being in the in-game PA. If not, look me or Marrok up when you see us, and we'll get you squared away with your spiffy <Avian> tag.

Plus, I am sure that one of our architects could hook you up with a house. We can always use more citizens in our fair city.

Once again, nice to see you back!

"Gone Section Five"

...cool...

how did you end up on talus though ?
whats talus (in-)famous for ?
who build the PA Hall ?
how is the GCW coming along - cause as far as i can remember we are in one galaxy with the crescend order and IEF and some other factioned PAs
i am definetly not listed with avian since i started a new character bc i am playing the trial that i downloaded - so i guess if i want to play after the trial is over i have to recreate a new account anyways - thats also why i am not using Wuyavae Zulygaru as my chars name right now
are there any active rangers/scout (except for bounte hunters ) chars in avian right now ?
which armor offers the best kinetic protection ? composite ?
oh and how the heck does stat migration work now ?! do i have to find an image designer ??
when did they implement artisan explorer musician entertainer and what else mission terminals ?
and something i have never understood : how do you get the skill box showing how you are advancing on your interface ?
how have players been developing - i mean ist the community good, are the players mature and so on - cuz i noticed that last night i was running around theed asking the above question to a bunch of ppl an yelling into groups but nobody seemed to answer - maybe they werent paying attention to /shouts .
how is the tiping working - and what are the rates:
has ap xp become so important to those who seek to burn through as many professions as possible to unlock that tiping is nice, polite and a good tone but not widely expected anymore ? what are the rates - i have been giving 100c tips for healing and training - but i have no idea if thats appropiate.

We got griefed major by a some crappy Imp Group of multiple PA's..and then in the race to plant the city hall that first day our Politician got disconnected and then rolled back to theed..meaning they placed a City Hall before us and by the time we ever place the 10city cap was reached..


nothing...


Well you know of the whole Dumin situation don't ya? Dunno who made the current one...Still have the old naboo one somewhere


GCW is broke and exploited


Im sure you can continue that account..wouldn't make sense marketing wise if it couldn't


Dunno Aubai might be a scout..he's done a little harvesting for me..otherwise no clue i droped it...


Well i make 75kinetic-21Base Ubese or 80Kinetic 80Elect 71Base Composite armor.


Yea it sucks..need an ID


While ago..dunno


Ctrl+S and look around theres a little box that says show XP Bar


Tips are free Bank Tips which can be done all over the galaxy are 5% taxed


Buffs will cost ya around 8-15k. a heal usually i tip minumum of a few k's...Dancers..unless your talking with them recieve no tips because most are AFK Grinders...Same deal with muscians. Training...you should be able to get someone to pay you for :p though usually no tip is nessasary as you both gain something from it.

"Gone Section Five"

So many questions hehe.

First off, my character K'Rynn is currently a master rifleman along with 2 trees of combat medic for good measure. I also have survey skills to gather our needed resources.

Other Q & As:
- We're on Talus b/c we were screwed on Naboo by a nasty Imp guild (that has subsequently fallen under) by griefing and building their buildings in our future city spot not allowing a spot for our city hall. The decision was made to go to Talus just for the sake of having a city as the major planets reached their city cap almost immediately.

- What is Talus known for - well, Avian City of course! Not much else there. A POI cave I like to hit for loot but I think that's just my obsession...

- active scout/ranger - I know Nyssia (Lac's alt) is a ranger and I think someone else is Pi'Rho maybe?

- armor - your best best is still composite armor. All our Avian smiths can make top notch stuff.

- community - its ok. Sure you get the odd moron but its ok for the most part. The only problem I see is the mass spamming that happens in the major centers (Coronet & Theed). Can't stand that but since that's one of the only ways to advertise...

- other mission terminals - they were implemented a while ago (entertainer once recently) tho I must admit I do not do them. I find the old destroy missions suited me best for cash flows and grinding combat skills

- stat migration - yes, need an ID in a "salon". There's a good one in coronet that almost always has an ID in it.

- skill box - there's a tickbox in the skills listing (ctrl+s)

- tipping - works fine. A 5% charge is added if you tip from bank rather than just from your pockets. No real set rate on tipping. I just give people a little bit.

- app xp - this used to be insane but with the holo grind slowly dying its calming down. Still see quite a few people in cnet spamming training messages.

hey K'Rynn i remeber going hunting with you - what happened to combat systems inc. ?

was there any reason the imps started griefing avian ? or was it just some random agression ?
why was there another PA hall build ? wasnt it possible to have the city where the pa hall dumin built was ?
have there been any plans to expand to correlia ? as far as i can remember correlia and naboo were the major crafting/trade/... planets

why is chilly down for so long ?!

which other (major) crafting PAs are there on chilly ? and how is the competition ?

when did they raise the time in between taking samples to 28sec ? at release it used to be 8sec - then they raised it to 18sec and now 28sec ?!? ... i did some macro sampling last night and remembered how i (and propably many others) used to work with aliases to sample long shifts bc the macros were of limited size and how nobody as far as i remember thought of looping macros back then. did the devs actually release a list of commands that can be used and how they are used ?
-> bc grinding wilderness survival by creating and disbanding camps is propably as boring as grinding entertainer xp...

With both K'Rynn and I deciding not to make weapons it kinda sunk...


They felt having a neutral shuttleport so close to their imp cities would leave them vulnerable they offered to allow us to stay if they could have several people in our militia to ban rebels..little did they know that the rebs whould be able to use their own shuttleport... Anycase they placed covert detectors and bases in our city and our rebel members..Sluggy, Mantison, and others gave em a little bit of hell with their combat skills


Dumin made a Naboo hall..we need a generic or corellian for Talus


individual crafters branch out...


cause its a 4hour downtime atm..that started at 4am PDT..meaning we have another hour of downtime..

"Gone Section Five"

isnt it the 20th ??!
ohhh...
hehe...
i was honestly under the impression it was the 20th today and they were just announcing it for tomorrow...

does that mean that avian is ok with covert rebels imp ?
but its not possible to have covert imps and rebels in the same PA, is it ?

talking about militia - have militias been implemented as a city feat ?
is that imp city still existing ? did avian get any support from rebell PAs ? - could have been cool for RPing - if it had not ended up in griefing...

Welcome back mate ! You might not know me, I'm Flyoc the froggy, the most active french guy here. I stopped playin 3 months ago, but I can still answer your questions :


Yup, Avian is ok with covert guys.


It is theorically possible AFAIK, but this could lead 2 people from the same PA in killing each other, and we don't want this (though sometimes you kill a mate by error (I'm still sorry Moge :( )).


I think right now, militia's purpose is to help people place structures on the ground of the city. They can't attack random people (or CSRs :x) at will anymore, too much griefing...


Joker !

Talus is famous for being Avian's homeworld...

We have Imps and Rebs (covert) in Avian, so yes, its possible..

We operate out of Avian City on Talus, several members have stores all over the galaxy..

Contact any of us in game for a bank tip for air fare to Talus is you wish to come visit.

Hey, welcome back Wuyavae!


-The GCW will be re-worked in an upcoming publish this summer. Right now, New Jedi stuff are coming into the game; the Jedi profession has been revamped...publish 9 is coming into the game soon....and then 10 in the upcoming weeks...but you can read about it on the main swg website.

Not sure when they changed the time in between sampling. And I though that macroing sucked back in the day. It makes our TC PA Hall endeavour right now all the more impressive (if the server ever gets back up that is hehe - Tuesday). We all have to sample until our Archie gets better skills.

Hope you can get to Talus soon, would love to hunt with ya again. I'll be on tonight and maybe tomorrow (hoping to play hookie from work )

sure K'rynn

how much lag are you experiencing ?
its quiet a lot for me - more than it was a year ago.
but the in-gme window says 0% package loss and an ping of 185 shouldnt be all too bad.
in the character creation menu - what are the galaxies sorted by ? is there any connection bar like it used to be ? what does distance mean ? its the same with every galaxy for me - 10 min ago an east coast server was recommended over any european server - i find that strange...

where du you preferably hunt K'Rynn - on first sight i'd choose naboo over Talus for hunting ?

is a 'publish' something like a big major update ?

where do you get mounts from except for the 5 use speeder bike you get at the beginning ?

mounts and bikes are made by master artisans...Publshes are major updates that add new features or change existing ones

My main hunting grounds is the Aakuan cave POI near Nashal Talus but I'm getting tired thrashing those wusses. I'm going to be getting a slighty more heavy combat focus to my char and as such will be adventuring to more of the big/tougher locations (read Black Suns on Yavin, Geo Cave, Death Watch Bunker, etc.) in the near future. I may need to grind some swordsman soon which means either doing quenkers on Dantooine or heading to Endor for the jinta cave.

Mounts - you cen get them made by bio-engineers and trained by creature handlers.
