I'm afraid I must disagree most fights on hard mode are no 'harder' than they were on normal all you need is your dps to pass the min gear check and gold; free lootZ. Very few have new tricks up sleeves & most of em are not particuarly challenging if your geared for it. the only thing an enrage timer requires is a dps race, leave your brain at home not needed here

Also once upon a time you could upgrade your purple modables later(basiclly making them purple - orange) with a new armor slot but that got taken out quite a few patches ago so we could all look more like clones.

don't feel bad it took me 118(I kept a log) untill I ws able to get 2, dunno if thats above/below avg don't care just glad it's over.

I'm guessing American Lib or greek:D /joke tbh at this rate I'm banking on all crew skills to be no more than a mini game within 6mo.

Fine then remove amrmor mechs abil to get FREEEEE omg skys falling aug stats from REing rakata bracers belts and MC criting = playing field ;p

As stated above thats so sadly funny:rolleyes: I hope at least BW/EA/outsourcer isn't paying them more that whatever min wage is in the relevant region/country

yea but exiting area during a fight can bug out the instance(gee another bug) in the event your raid wipes. It will sometiems prevent ANYONE from re-entering

guides great; guild sage alts are better *GRIN*

your doing better than me 4+ pages of friends list(not including guildies) havn't seen more than 10 of em on since end of Jan:( EDIT: oops To the Op tbh I'm begining to think a pure raiding guild will struggle with TOR. I can only suggest expanding to a more casual format and start a revolving door. Or start looking at other games. Not real helpfull I know but best I got.

I did both 400 bioch 400 bio ana 400 scav on main; 400 UT 400 Diplo, 400 armmech on alt luven it

tbh honest LOTRO did it pretty successfully. Just to be fair and accurate; it had limited functionality sure, but it accomplished the core purpose of voice chat with fairly light involvement from the user in enableing it.

as a scoundrel may I suggest strafe/backards kiting in a big circle? should work like a charm if I'm not mistaken.

Oh thought you were talking about the BH story bug, my mistake. As several have stated your best option would prob devote 30-40 minutes for a day or two doing the illum-belsave daily commendation quests for a day or two and mod out your gear that will put you on par with the tionese set easily.

If you want them to have a quick turn around on it I suggest forming an arugument involving pvp, otherwise it'll stay on the back burner.

Is THAT bug still around? Write a ticket and say it's preventing you from pvp or something:D

this, besides do we actually want something else that needs to be "fixed" every week?

I blame EA/Mythic

actually running with guildies is the single best and most efficient way to do HM's reguarly

your joking right? I'll admit some fights require more than being able to breath unassited but most of the coordination is in resolving glitches and working around buged fights. Most fights boil down to beating something as elementry as an enrage timer

why is "the games only been out for X # months" considered a valid argument? Are they or are they not competeing in the market as it is today? Not what some game did sometime 8+ years ago

champ gear is NOT "well geared" for running HM FP's. as some1 stated above 1-2 peices is ok but more than that I'd rather carry some1 who's in full tionese and/or green/blue pve gear

just a quick question who was bashing? derp all the responses were on topic and correctly pointed out why he was having issues finding norms and offered advice mostly constructive in nature. To the op a couple helpfull links http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=180395 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=176836

Name one that was ever able to do both EVE? nope pvp Planetside?nope pvp LOTRO? nope pve Warhammer? lol just lol Daoc? ok yea kinda SWG? ok yea again kinda (item and skill stats operated differrently when "flagged" pvp vs pve) Jumpgate? actually did pretty well in both Auto Assault?ROFLMAO UO? kinda sorta maybe RIFT?lol WOW? people hating changes to one boinking the other SWTOR? people hating changes to one boinking the other EDIT: the point being very rarely has any mmmo and NO AAA's that I'm aware of actually been able ot incorporate both pve and pvp stable and balanced content

Nope mainly due to the fact BW can't get the current system to work, what makes you think they can get something as involved as the SWG system working?

I'd say unlikely until developer studios start forming co-ops and getting more but SMALLER investors to both spread the load and mitigate investor tendencies to cut losses on extended non-paying projects. thus avoiding significant pressure to release early.
