I’m going to try to start using my blog again, as it has some features I like that Google+ does not have. I will still be posting regularly to Google+, though some of my longer posts will be posted to my blog first, and linked on my profile over at Google+. I’ve been doing updates about my progress through Star Wars: The Old Republic for a while now on Google+, but I’m choosing to start off here with update 1, since I gotta title them something.
So, I haven’t had an update in a couple of days, that didn’t mean I didn’t game though. Wednesday night started off as Guild night. When I logged in, a group had formed and was taking down the Taris world boss. I joined them after as Jianna, my level 40 Mercenary, as they were going to take down the Tatooine world boss as well. In the process we also nabbed a level 28 Jedi who was watching us take him down…he had no chance (though I didn’t target him in time to do any damage). We followed that up with a run for a couple of difficult datacrons on Hoth. Some of us had some difficulty getting them, but with some nice grapples by our Powertech, we all managed to get them. In the process of getting those our group also nabbed a level 41 Repubulic sitting outside the main Imperial base on Hoth…not exactly the smartest place to be for a Republic.
After that I went back to my Juggernaut, Tolgana, who was sitting at level 27. I tried doing the final quest to take on the Jedi Master of the padawan I’ve been tracking, but he and his new padawan (a different one than the one I’ve been tracking) proved to be too much for me, sine they were a level above me and I was gimped with no Quinn to help me. So I spent a bit more time working on quests, and managed to level up to 28 in the process. I went back and dealt with them, so she’s now ready to head to Alderaan, but I’m not ready to leave. I still have plenty of quests to complete there.
After the Guild Night fun I had, I thought about how I was going to level my characters…and I decided to do one thing, and that’s concentrate on Jianna until she reaches 50. So on Thursday night I continued to work on Jianna. I wanted to clean up her quest log and try to get some nice orange gear for her, so I went back to Alderaan and completed a couple of Heroics solo. After that I went to see what was near a speeder that I hadn’t discovered yet, and it turns out the entire area is the Bonus quest area, and made for level 40′s, so perfect for me to quest in. By the end of the night I ended up completing a couple of old heroics (mentioned earlier), but picked up two more brand new heroics at my level, which I’ll probably try to do tonight. She’s about halfway into Level 41 now on her way to 42. One of my guildmates said he had problems with not meeting the level requirement for the planet after Hoth, as he was barely 40 when he got done there. I’m in no danger of that though, since I’ve barely started Hoth…I’ll probably be 43 or 44 by the time I leave.
No screenshots to post right now…I should have some over the weekend though.
