Corellia Invasion

Sabers,

It's that time again. We are now invading Corellia. As some of you predicted, they opened up four planets for conquest this week, or five if you count the two Balmorra's (since Imperial and Republic are separate instances).

The bonus points for this planet are pretty limited, but I feel it was the best chance we had for victory. Attacking Hoth would have put us against most of the guilds we just fought on Alderaan, and a little variety never hurts. Ilum was already pretty dominated by the time we arrived, and some massive pvp guilds were in contention there. As a casual guild, I didn't want to push everyone too hard. Balmorra has Veritas and Aesthesis in contention. So yeah, no point there. They are pretty much going to win each instance for themselves. Morale isn't going to be good if first place is unobtainable. Which leaves Corellia. The planet was pretty much wide open with only one guild having a small lead. As a bonus, the Imperial GSF guild Eclipse Squadron is invading. I've heard our GSF players talking about them, and a good rivalry sounds like fun.

On Corellia all GSF matches have a 2x reward which means 1000 points a match win or lose. There is also a 2000 point reward for every 50 medals you obtain in those matches. Both are repeatable. So flying is the name of the game this week.

For the quick and easy points, the black hole weekly mission gives 2000 points per character. This doesn't take much time at all and is possible at about level 48ish. When you have a little spare time, hit this one on every alt you can. It will add up.

There is also the standard kill 250 NPC's on Corellia once per legacy for 1000 points.

Everything else is the normal bonus, meaning warzones and flashpoints give 500 each.

Lastly, if you are feeling the pressure from this constant war and just want to chill a bit, I understand completely. If you want to help in a more relaxed fashion simply decorate your stronghold. For every stronghold you have (up to a total of four) that is completely decorated to 100%, you receive a 25% bonus to all conquest objectives. So that would mean that in GSF matches for Corellia instead of a 1000 points for each you would receive 1250. Every single time. Add another three complete strongholds and you've just doubled all your conquest points. Now, I know this is expensive and I'm not saying it's necessary. Every little bit helps though, and it's an option if you wish to take it.

I'm getting a little long winded here, so I will update with more information as necessary. Thanks again for all you do Sabers! Let's go kick the Imps off the planet. For the Republic!

Oh, and I forgot to add that if you achieve your personal conquest total of 35000 points you get the guild rewards. This is per character. So once that total is hit, switch to an alt and keep on playing. I missed out on a few of the fleet schematic rewards on Alderaan because I didn't know that.

Tired of war?!?! Heresy!

Fun fact of the day, I just learned there is no a in heresy.

Talked to Hanak this morning and he thinks he's figured out how Reign of Darkness is so far ahead. They're taking groups of high level characters and spam running them quickly through story mode Dark Talon. It's super short (like 5 min long) and 1000 points a run.

Frankly, if that is what they're doing, I have zero interest in trying for first place this week. It's lame as hell and one mind numbing grind. So I say screw it, have everyone keep doing what they're doing and let's go find some commanders and pick some OWPVP fights this week.

I agree. I'd much rather go after Commanders and/or run some PVP/GSF to get my points. Sure, it might not be as fast, or efficient. But it's a helluva lot of fun!

Hmmm, Official announcement says running FP's should not be repeatable, for conquest points. I wonder if they are going to remove the points gained in this way?

Hey all,

I brought this to the attention of the team, and discovered that this is a bug - Flashpoint Conquest Objectives are intended to be one-time only, not infinitely repeatable. The only Flashpoint Objectives that can be repeated are the Group Finder ones - and those can only be done when you have the Daily Mission for the Group Finder available.

We will be releasing 2.9c tomorrow morning to address this issue. There will be a maintenance post made later today with the full information.

Thanks,

Tait

Sabers,

The totals are in, and we came in third place! Fourth on Alderaan, Third on Corellia, I see a pattern here. Let's keep that upward momentum! Great work all!

On top of that, not only were we the top Republic guild on the planet, but we also killed a whole lot of commanders last week. Every time we do that we get more of the required items for unlocking more rooms on our guild ship. We are very close to opening both another room on the command deck and finally starting on the hangar. It was a good week. Thanks again to everyone who participated.

On to the next planet!
