My Two Credits: Mega Servers

Sep 252012

Photo-Receptor Focus on: Mega Servers

By Maer

The latest server mergers are done and it seems to have gone smoothly for the most part. We didn’t have to spend long hours recreating guilds and such, which made things much, much easier. The biggest issues surrounded character and guild names. And boy, have I heard grief about that from quite a few people. To be fair, Bioware tried to do the best they could with a situation that wasn’t likely to please everyone. They made some excellent choices, but also some that are less palatable.

My Two Credits: The “Other” Side

Photo-Receptor Focus on: The “Other” Side

By Maer

By now most of us have had a chance to play the opposite faction from our mains. For some the loyalty to their main side is extremely important. I can’t say I feel as strongly as some, but I must admit, I do prefer my Empire characters. Fortunately, I do have two Light Side characters on the Imperial side, so I don’t automatically hit that Dark Side choice. Well, not anymore, at least. So how do I think the two sides stack up against each other, so far?

My Two Credits: Changes in 1.4

Sep 112012

Photo-Receptor Focus on: The Great Nerf Game

By Maer

Bioware is asking that we try out the PTS before making up our minds about the class changes coming in 1.4. That’s a fair request. I’d love to be able to say I’m thrilled about the proposed changes. Unfortunately, I’m not. I want to love this game and I want it to succeed beyond everyone’s wildest dreams. However, Bioware is doing exactly what they said they would not do. And I have some questions about these changes.

Photo-Receptor Focus on: Guild Events

By Maer

Keeping your guild members interested and engaged when there isn’t a lot of new content can be a very challenging and creative process. We’re always on the lookout for new and interesting ways to have Guild Sponsored Events that will be fun and bring folks in.

My Two Credits: The Answer is 42

Aug 282012

Photo-Receptor Focus on: The Answer is 42.

By Maer

Today is my 42nd article for this column. I mention this only because everyone knows that “42” is a most significant number. I mean it’s the answer to the meaning of life, right? At least, those who ask a question in voice or chat will often get this answer.

For instance, when we ask Bioware when we will get new content, they might as well answer “42”. Because the answer we get instead is that vague and basically meaningless word “soon”.
