Give me back my DPS back or I will have Tanno Vikk fill my Bt-7 Thunderclap to the brim with Baradium, strap Treek to pilot’s seat and and crash it to my subscription plan with such vigour that one time Sith gatecrashed into Jedi Temple at Coruscant with a transport ship will look like a gentle knock on the door.

The Fast Guide to Getting a Tauntaun in SWTOR

August 12, 2013 7 comments

Tauntaun mounts have arrived to SWTOR!

We’ve all been waiting for animal mounts in SWTOR, and Bioware delivered Tauntauns to us this last update, Update 2.3. I love the way they are able to be obtained too, as it benefits the Subscriber!

In getting my own Tauntaun, I used Dulfy’s guide. I would recommend reading her guide first to understand this post here. In working the nests, I discovered a faster and easier way to do things. Using my method, you can hit 27 nests of 3 taun fawns each in one hour. Since there is about a 20% chance a taun fawn will produce Tauntaun domestication data, of which you need 15 or 20, you will have about 16 at the end of my method, which is enough to buy the Subscriber-only Tauntaun. Hit the jump for the details.

So I’m curious. What are you guys up to? I mean, I know what I have been up to, and that’s this:

Hamiltonian page

Yup, that is literally a page from my masters thesis. It looks hard and…well, I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty stinkin’ hard. That’s not bragging, more like complaining haha. Late nights, lots of Diet Dr. Pepper, very little game time.

But I want to start up a dialog. What games are you guys playing, or if real life is taking priority (like with me), then what are you doing? Let’s converse like civilized folks. (Bonus points if you can read that in your mind with Malcolm Reynolds’ voice.)

I just found something AWESOME!!!

It was buried in the torrent of news from the San Diego Comic Con. It was none other than the announcement of an MMO based on my all-time favorite TV show. Star Trek Online, you say? No, that is already out, and Star Trek loses to this show easily. You mean they are making a Get Smart MMO, you ask? No, missed it by that much. Read more…

Reminiscing About KOTOR

This last week was the 10th anniversary of Knights of the Old Republic. I wanted to talk today about some of the things I loved about that game and what it meant to me in the grand scheme of things.

KOTOR was my first RPG. I know what you are thinking, “Geld, you can’t be serious! There were so many RPGs before KOTOR.” I know that, but you have to think, I was only 14 when this game came out. I had played other games, like the Jedi Knight series, X-Wing Alliance, and some text based games. I never played table top games. KOTOR was my first foray into the realm of RPGs and stats and builds and so forth. Read more…
