With September behind us, I thought a brief overview might be in order. The shutdown date, November 17, may seem soon, but it's well over a month away. And, as things currently stand, quite a bit has happened recently.
1. Major Influence on Bespin and Anoat. Minor Influence on Hoth and Burnin Konn. The most recent IB on Hoth caused us to lose Major Influence, but I'm not losing any sleep over it. These influences come and go. The buffs are great, though, I have to admit. The next IB will happen on Bespin.
2. Rank 21! Great grind, everyone. A special pat on the back to Mau and Ioz, both of whom just cracked 70,000 CXP. Make sure to keep an eye out for the 3PO contact who offers daily Cartel Ops. I named the droid Frak Kabam.
3. Speaking of monster efforts, Mau just earned himself a lightsaber. Congrats, Mau! That M-Sec Boss is no joke.
4. And on that note, congrats to Winter, who recently earned not 1, not 2, but 3 pieces of Uprising Smuggler raid gear. Way to crush that Heroic map, Win!
5. We recently added a new player, Ryer Grogan, who's not only a great player, but also an inspiring leader. The former CM for Alien Legion, you can check out the AL blog here. Definitely friend Ryer and say hi!
6. As we know, Faction Reputation awards went out on the first of the month. My guess is that with the dramatic decrease in players, these monthly ranks should prove much easier to earn. We've barely started the month and I'm already Warrior across the board, save for the Kouhun Faction, for which I'm currently ranked Hero.
7. Also, the restructured rewards for IBs are worth noting. Now, merely participating will earn you 1 5* Event Crystal. The payouts are roughly the same, though, with an increase to 6 4* Event Crystals for Captain. The next time the timing works out, I'll make sure to run all my Alt Heroes to earn 4 5* Event Crystals in total.
8. Lastly, a few words on Alt Heroes. It may seem as though running Alts is just pointless at this point in the game. However, Alts are great sources of chromium, since they share that resource with your Main. I check all my Alts every day to see if they have a Chromium Daily Op offered by Soussho. And, as my previous thoughts about IBs demonstrate, Alts are good to earn a little extra during MMO battles. The more Event Crystals the better!
That's all for now. Good hunting, everyone.
