I obviously can't speak for the endgame, but I'd love to see you come out to the Bastion!

Just ran SM EC with the guild on Prophecy of the Five... was fun. If anyone wants to join us, that's an option as well.

I'm heading to The Bastion. I've got two relatively geared Marauders there already!
I play on The Bastion almost every night around 8 Hawaii time. Maybe I'll see you on when you play late. I'm also considering running an imp team with only two different classes. My republic team has three different classes and the class quests just got tedious because I had to run all over the planet and it was almost impossible to prevent going to one place going all the way to the other side of the planet, then go all the way back. But I've finished my pub team quests now![]()

Absolute fastest way to level (well back in late Feb when my guild rerolled) is to run operation groups in world heroic areas. We did like level 11 to 19 in 90 minutes in DK, did 20 to like 25 in a couple hours on Nar Shadda in one of the world heroic areas. Our level spread broke up at this point and it was no longer feasible to continue running operations. However so long as you can keep finding boss grade mobs that you can kill quickly, or even the yellow grade ones in high volume. You can BLITZ the levels. The reason is really quite simple. 12 People don't get 1/12th the XP, 16 people don't get 1/16th they get is significantly more. Which means you can absolutely tear through mobs like this getting obscene numbers of commendations and the XP is outrageous. For example, on both Nar Shadda and Dromund Kaas, the two areas we did had named bosses at the end of their areas which we could chain summon. Which meant we had solo named boss monsters that we could spawn as fast as we could kill them.
You can also power level in this manner in level 50 heroic areas. A bunch of buddies on another server told me that they could PL alts if most of their guild was on in one of the heroic areas on Ilum extremely fast. Ten or so level 50's with a pack of lowbies, and the 50's blasted through the monsters so fast that the XP was just flowing in.
Once the game goes f2p, I think there is a very very good chance that I will see if I can wrangle 6 accounts on my desktop and 6 accounts on my RoG Asus G75. Twelve box via grinding heroics to 50 ;p
On my operatives, I am probably going to skip the story quests until I am 50. I've done all the plot lines in beta, and doing Op x3 + PT x1 is just tedious in the extreme. It has actually taken me longer to level 1-15 with a 4 box, than it would take me normally to level a solo character to 30 or a duo to mid 20's ;p
Ok... big post Mercbeast! I can see how you can PL with a group of 12-16, but how are you going to it with just 4? I'm really curious b/c I'd like to lvl my imps up and speed is desirable!
Secondly, if you can figure out how to 12 box that would be insane! I have two very capable machines and would love to try that out with you to get the mechanics down. It would probably only work for PL, but you could farm world bosses too.
Please keep us updated with how the leveling is going bc I'm not going to be too far behind with my imp team.

I'm not doing it on my own, the operation style leveling that is. However a couple boxers coordinating could easily do it to get 8 or 12 or whatever going. For boxing multiple groups, I imagine a combination of standard single group hotkeys with the other group(s) running off of a focus assist/follow system.
For healing, I'd set it up so that all my healers were in the lead team. So maybe tank + 3 healers. Then I'd use an assist heal system of some sort. I'm sure once the game goes f2p, we will have plenty of opportunity to check out the mechanics of it.
that sounds like fun merc, I am on the imp side myself, I am doing great with my Tank (assassin), 3 x Sorc. If you guys want to pick a side for operations and end game let me know I have odd hours, but I'd def love to try something with you riker and merc.
If your on The Bastion look for me on Rep - Allistar or Imp - Loss'uchiha, losshunter. Those are my two mains atm I have been playing imp side.
I'm officially starting my new imp team on the bastion. If either of you could find a guild that is boxer friendly that would rock! Once we are all at 50 it will be awesome to do ops and world bosses that you can't do with just one 4 box team.
I could see 2 boxing warzones as pretty fun as well. I'm not sure that I will ever enjoy 4 boxing warzones... too much going on to micro manage 4 toons.

In the end might be best until macro's to stay out of the warzones too much going on sometimes.
