SWTOR Guild Summit

[ZephixLeer (Zephic)]

In all fairness, from what I've heard of different members we have some pretty wide range of views on "the perfect game."

Although none of us really know what questions they're going to ask (if any) I think that whoever ends up representing us should probably be prepared a bit anyway.

Although we discuss a lot here on our FA forums, there are a lot of topics that are discussed either in teamspeak by a few members at a time, or not at all.

Maybe it would be a good idea to start a few threads to get a general idea of what we'd want to present to the developers if we do get a face to face and a chance to voice our most wanted features or bug fixes/changes to mechanics.

I'd never want to give a developer my current opinion of expertise in PVP, for example. -Because I know there are people in this guild who are actually OK with a pvp stat and love gear rewards, even though I absolutely hate it and think gear is a horrible way to reward people for the PVP grind. I'd rather see a ladder system and PVP that is skill-based. -But (and back to the original point) not everyone would want a system like that, so presenting it when representing all of FA would be... unfair to everyone else in FA at the very least.

So the point is, as mentioned before, maybe we should discuss these things a bit more regardless of who ends up going (if anyone at all, pending Tbone's invite).

So I submitted an application to attend the guild summit. Broin's letting me use some of the coin money to possibly go. Airline tickets are fairly cheap to get there at the moment, so it might be possible.

One big problem is I need to find a new place to live. I need to find a place, find the money to afford it, and make the move before March 1st. If I can get all of that locked in so that I feel comfortable enough to do it, I'll try to make this trip. I can possibly save some money if I can crash at someone's place or double up on a hotel if anyone is going to be in the area anyway.

Also, let us know if you run short for the trip.  I would be all for a paypal donate button to get you there and represent FA.

If your app gets approved can we start a thread of questions and concerns to take with you?

[Fuse]

I'm going too...

[Tbone]

Fuse, you want to share a room then? I'm not booking anything until I get confirmation of an invite.

[Fuse]

Maybe. I'm waiting on tax return money to book, so don't have details yet. Will get a hold if you once we flush out details.

[ZephixLeer (Zephic)]

Should we just extend this to an FA meet up/lan party? We have a lot of people in or near Texas, and we could have a blast in Austin!

[Longboard]

I hope FA can have proper representation there.

Guys, I live in Austin, Texas. I am currently working in California but my apartment lease is good through April 1st. If you need a place to crash I can make arrangements for you to use my apartment while you are in town. I do not know where the actual event is but I live in North Austin.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help. I probably will not be in town (I will more than likely be in California working) but getting you in wouldn't be a problem.

[ZephixLeer (Zephic)]

Ok, guys.. you heard it! Party at Virt's place! lol

[Fuse]

Just booked my flight. Will be getting in late Friday, the 2nd. Leaving afternoon of Wednesday, the 7th.

[Tbone]

Still no invite from Bioware.

[ZephixLeer (Zephic)]

Meh..

They said there would be some kind of alternate method for "attending" online. I guess that unless they do late invites, we'll just have to use that method.

I just got my rejection email:
