SWTOR Arena PvP and UI Guide/Tips
So yeah I’m not the best player or anything but I’m a veteran willing to help new players, as is my guild Hysteria, we’re on Star Forge republic and imperial side, but we’re mainly imperial. We have a few old players willing to impart knowledge on new players, always on the lookout for good players that want a chill environment to play in, we love PvP both warzones and arenas and we’d love for you to join us.
