Hey there buddy! Awesome application - one of the better I've seen in a long time! Since we have gamed with you and you took the initiative to join us in ventrilo I don't believe we'll need to stick you on a waiting list. I'll just wait for some other replies first before I go ahead and pass you through!

And lastly, are there any questions about the guild you would like answered?: I understand that PAX currently has a member cap of 100. I am fine with being put on a waiting list, should I be accepted. I plan on playing a Trooper (Healer). I understand that the Trooper class is currently closed. Should I apply as a Smuggler Healer and if/when the Trooper Healer is confirmed, change my chosen class then?

Well yes we have our limit set at 100, but if we will receive some awesome application, like yours, we are willing to let such quality people join in. If we will have 110 or so, it won`t be that much of a problem

Will you be requiring a certain number of Advanced classes to be represented among the various general classes?

No, we are just aiming at haveing around 25 people in each class +/- few

How does PAX plan to handle Crafting? Will there be dedicated crafters? Will there be a resource contribution requirement from members to support dedicated crafters?

We haven`t really finished talking about that, but we have some members who already said that they will be dedicated crafters, and we think that we will organize 1-2 a week resource hunt to help them, being part of the hunt is not necessary, but we will be glad for every member that will join
ofc if you will have some materials that you don`t need and put them into bank to help members/crafters, it will bo noticed


Good luck with your trial Korpsman, make me a proud Class Leader ;)

Welcome man!
Its always nice to see new troopers join Pax, as I am (will be) a trooper myself.
I hope I see you around Vent.

[Lord Marvel]

Vent account created YaY for my first one ^_^

Well Korpsman it seems your pretty much in Just need to get past the next part of the trial and thats it.

You spoke about crafting in the guild- Are you interested in crafting or dedi-crafting? As LM said about 'resource hunts' it does seem there will be plenty to go around but its always good to have crafters on board since you can never have too many assets :D

Hi Mud! I am interested in crafting, but not to the level of say a "dedicated" crafter might be at. What I do like about the SWTOR crafting system is that it seems to be pretty accessible to everyone, even casual crafters or folks that normally don't craft. I think that getting folks together for resource runs is a great idea and I would love to contribute to that effort!

I guess I need to start doing some research. As a Trooper/Healer, would it be more beneficial to focus on making stims/healing consumables? Or should I focus on armor so I am able to have access to a really good set of Heavy healing armor so I can bolster heals? Hard to say at this point. But I will see what I can find out

You're thinking of end game crafting months before the release? A little soon... I think.

My guess is that if you're not a serious crafter or rich, then the best armor you can get will come from PvE/PvP (especially when you are leveling up). So a casual crafter will most likely just be crafting for exp/credits or making some consumables for them self.

[Kbrury]

IMO Armor Crafters are useful sometimes, once the guild has been in endgame for a while the majority of the guild will most likely have stuff equal to what those crafter can make. Crafting consumables on the other hand is always useful no matter what class or specialization.

Hi Airborne44! Good to meet you!

I guess my biggest concern is whether or not the itemization will really be there for the Trooper Healer. Both while leveling and at end game. It could be that the only Trooper healing gear will be had at end game. But if that is the case, then I may be better off going the DPS/Tank route until I am able to access that armor. I certainly hope it won't be the case that in order to get armor with decent healing stats, I have to seek out Medium armor. I just don't think a trooper would look good in some of that Smuggler garb lol!
