Use ccs when possible and try having scorpio tank instead. Throw a heal on her when needed. Setup an easy key combo for pet attack so she can pull adds off you. I use the home key for attack and end key for Passive. If that still doesnt work for you spec full healing and take your time killing with her tanking or her as damage.

Make sure the laptop is using the nvida card for swtor and not the built in gpu. Should be able to do this in the nvidia control panel where you make profiles for applications and games. Dont forget the same for physxx and cuda processor. If that still doesnt work find what temperature the cpu throttles and download a undervolting app. I have to undervolt the cpu on my alienware laptop else it throttles very easily. If throttling doesnt turn out to be the case you can also try disabling the onboard gpu either in the bios or device manager. This will cause problems with some apps though. I had mine disabled in device manager and it caused problems in sony vegas despite the nvidia gpu being my preferred gpu of the app. So I’d only try this option as a last resort. You’d have to re-enable it for other apps.

Until recently the swtor website had basically no news of content or updates except for cartel market for nearly an entire year. The website highlighted things like a "new cartel pack opening experience" Like who really gave a **** about that? And year 2017 had a producer letter or state of the game which 2018 had nothing of the sort. I am referring to the news section on the main website so I do not know if this was posted else where but when I returned to the game after a break I thought "Man that looks really really bad" *edit: I guess what I'm referring to is when you are on the forums at the top of the page under community news it still doesn't show up to date news. https://i.imgur.com/uZmdRBJ.png I hope another major update will be announced sometime this year in the form of an expansion. this game should easily have many more years of playtime available. Especially with it being the only actively developed starwars mmo and it not being Disney/JJ starwwars.

I read expertise but my mind read talent/skill trees returning. If only....

Yeah and **** both companies.

When the vaylin costume was later added to the cartel market I almost thought that was a hint they would allow us to bring her back in an alert or something.

disney starwars = social justice politics and activist storywriters and a complete dismantling of all the old so they can move on to the new vision they have for starwars. So until they realize simply putting "starwars" in the title isnt enough... it wont improve.

Or they could do both. Though I'd much rather get newer stuff or things that give my existing companions use again - very happy for jaesa and nadia return. Oh and Boba also escaped the sarlac pit in a comic and later shows up to kill you in darkforces jedi outcast or academy (I cant' remember which)

Which Meatbag tripped over the server cable this time?

I wouldn't buy that as an excuse.... We have Dabo in star trek online and that game has the same rating. More than likely it's because they would need to make a minigame and interface window for it to be functional.

For swoop bike racing to be added swoops would actually need to be fast.. like about as fast as the one you have to find fuel for on ziost. Even with the 130% boost we have now swoops are too damn slow to feel exciting for racing in swtor.

You can pretty much count anything that happened after makeb until this update as something your companions are not apart of. Jaesa makes comments throughout all of makeb Just make sure to walk and run around the zones and dont use a speeder as often. You can hear and read her comments at that point but she doesn't say a word in any part of shadow of revan and I don't recall if she says anything in ilum or oricron either. Sort of why I don't mind running through makeb on all my alts just so I can hear them speak again.

To each his own but Maul never really died when he fell in the pit. They brought him back in the comics long before he returned in clone wars and rebels. Malgus was someone I always assumed survived and would one day return... I mean you aren't going to kill a sith that cool by simply knocking him into a pit. Into a reactor maybe... but thats different.

Yeah since Cedrax chose a hologram over me he gets punished by my sith pure blood (who thankfully I made as my first consular) when I login and logout each day.

Don't have a problem with alliance and commander but I do want to see separate stories again. Even if its in the form of unique alerts for each class. Put them on the cartel market and give us a class story per month and use that money to fund another big expansion.

I'll be content as long as Jaesa and Nadia don't go into the abyss again. Though if I had 1 wish I'd wish for a Vaylin romance. Because the crazy ones are fun.

It could be a bug... while this hasn't happened to my character it did happen to my companion earlier. When I exited my vehicle Vette spoke instead of jaesa. I thought huh? and no it wasn't a crewskill mission completing it was a response you'd get after a character does a heal on you.

I still want the option to kill tharan for choosing a hologram over my consular. He gets the sith pure blood punishment everytime I summon him since.

Never did I expect to see her again after the bogus move from bioware to abandon all of our companions for new ones in the eternal throne series. Now please don't make her silent again for years to come in your future updates. Please use all of our companions again or at the very least the important ones you know (padawans, apprentices, lovers) even if it has to be alerts centered around working with that particular companion so long as it isn't the old school subtitled alert I mean this games #1 selling point was voiced content. One minor complaint, I'd like a 3rd option to refuse lightside jaesas love interest for my characters that already have lovers. Because the generic "I'm sorry, let's be friends" response sounds beyond cold hearted and insensitive after getting such a warm confession from her. Hell i'd even pay for alert packs sort of like mini expansions that contain missions involving our companions. You'd attract money from those of us that refuse to buy those gambling hypercrates too. I still need to get around to taking my consular through the eternal throne so he too can be reunited with Nadia so I'm looking forward to that. Now about Scourge and Kira....

It isn't a weapon atleast not technically... but how about bringing back the companion power vendors we had before you did all of the companion changes over time? Or atleast some form of them so I can give kira the aoe force push cone attack she used to have I realize this probably requires more than a few things to change but if we could simply have that powerslot back in the companion character sheet and some items to equip it to change powers like before that would be neat in terms of making our companions a little more unique from everyone else around us. As it stands now everyone has the exact same abilities.

competency went out the door along time ago with this dev team. 90% of the game updates are nerfs or "balance adjustments" or new cartel market addons. It's no wonder they dont have enough time to do a real expansion anymore or even class stories.

I didn't run into this. Maybe because i told him "hey you had years to make contact with me and i've moved on"

All I gotta say is this is the 4th time my sith warrior has been betrayed. Once by her master, once by her first lover, then by valkorion but ofcourse she knew that would happen and now her 2nd lover. And somehow I see malavaii snickering to himself "uh huh, you should have kept me instead of that guy" lol. Man after all the hell she's been through she was must be beyond mentally devastated after being betrayed by her only lovers. Now if only her friend and apprentice Jaessa was around to buddy with... Thanks bioware She forgave Malavaii but I doubt Theron will be walking away after this.

For awhile all we were getting was all the recorded gibberish characters. Pretty much anything that didn't need voice acting ie doesn't speak basic. Though personally I don't get why none of the force users still have yet to get a single padawan or apprentice returned this far into the story which for some of us was our original lover too. Still waiting on that lightside Jaessa romance that never happened

/hell no to more server merging. I already lost 3 names I had since launch during the last server merge and I don't want to lose more.... Instead Implement cross server group finder for raids and pvp and assign a temporary name suffix if you enter a group with duplicate names.
