Over the last day or so I've had some concerns brought to me about the ability of Fist Staffers to idle in the DB Gaming Channel during Vendettas. The perception has been that this allows people a way to potentially match dodge "legally". While there's nothing that I've seen which shows that actually has happened, it still creates an environment where people can feel like they aren't getting a fair shot in Gaming.
In light of this and after a few discussions last night with Arch we've decided that for the remainder of this Crusade round the Fist Staff Magistrates will be utilizing the #DBGaming Channel as any other member participating in the Crusade would. I communicated this to the Fist Staff last night, and everyone there is aligned. Arch and I will continue to monitor the channel, along with the Main Body Dark Council.
Moving forward there will be a modification to the ROC regarding who is able to idle in DBGaming during Major Events and Vendettas, although we haven't decided exactly what it will be yet. More to follow as we consider our options here.
We had a few competitions wrap up between my last report and now, congratulations to all the individuals who won Crescents!
We'll have more coming out at the start of December, but to get everyone through the (American) Thanksgiving Holiday I have a Mobile competition that will run for a two week period.
Congratulations to everyone who received a GMRG Promotion at the start of November!
Gorefest will be returning this month, as promised. It will be starting right after the Crusade finishes on Saturday 23Nov and running through Monday 25Nov. I know this breaks the normal Fri-Sun timeframe, I did this so I would have time to process the double CF bonus for everyone before the December 1st GMRG Promotion calculations. The event should be going up on the Competition Center soon, so keep an eye out for it.
Lots to cover here this report. If you haven't seen it yet the Galactic Starfighter is now available on the TOR Public Test Server. I haven't had a chance to log in and try it out, but I've heard we have some other folks on there getting a fix on some Space Sim PVP.
Along these lines I went through and updated the CFs for TOR Wiki to include Galactic Starfighter Matches in the same way as Warzone Matches. Just be grouped with another DJB Guild Member and submit a screenshot of the Match Completion Board. Feel free to submit these from the PTS! No need to wait for live. Operations were also updated to reflect the Dread Palace and Dread Fortress raids which were recently released and to clarify what was meant by a "Partially Completed" Operation. Current breakdown is:
Cethgus and Valkish have been actively moving forward on Raid Content. Taking a shot at the Dread Fortress Operation last week, Terror From Beyond, and a Hard Mode run of Eternity Vault to complete the Weekly Mission. Keep an eye on the DJBTOR.com site Calendar if you're interested in getting involved in Operations in the future!
If you're curious how to get an Event you'd like to run added to the TOR Calendar, just email us with the specifics and we'll go from there!

Awesome report, Val! :)
nice report. on gaming information, can it be updated on specifics on the heroic missions. I've done multiple ones on Hutta and Korriban, before I even knew I could get cfs for them. would help others in the future
Brim,
If you follow the Gaming Information Link, then go to the SWTOR section and scroll down a bit there is a "By Planet" and "By Chapter" listing of all Heroics which includes the Max Level to earn CFs while completing them.
Great work Val.
Yeah i read that after i did missions. Grrrr
Great decisions Val, and great work. I would give you a medal if I could :P
I got a PoB?
