Ask me again after 1.2

ALL of his attacks are based off of AIM. Even the melee ones. If your stacking strength your severly hindering his ability to tank/dps for you.

what is dot and los? you hit a target with your abilities that damage them over time. then you run around a corner. While they burn and take damage your hidden from their sight so they cannot attack you back.

some 3rd party web sites have a "list" of the lightsaber icons and what they look like when equipped. Small google search will get you where you want to go.

The marauder / sentinel is the worst offender in this department. The juggernaught / guardian is borderline.

my bounty hunter is 36 and I just finished off taris. I dont pvp. I do do any space missions. I also skipped all of the heroic missions. I have skipped all of the bonus series arcs on all of the planets so far. I skip the bulk of the bonus components for most quests. I am still exactly where I should be level wise. Rest xp makes up the difference. There are LOT of options for leveling.

Depends on the class. The vanguard/powertech have a nice small array of skills. I find managing bars with these really easy to do. The Sorcerer/sage, mercenary/commando, operative/scoundrel I find to be alright where there is maybe 1 or 2 skills that have to get flung off to the side but it really does not impact how the class plays. The guardian/Juggernaught suffer from some amount of ability bloat. you will have abilities spill of your 2 main bars across the bottom. Its not completly terrible but it really starts to feel clunky and cubersome to play. The Marauder/Sentinel are by far the worst offenders. over 30 skills that have to go on the bars. It grossly spills off the upper and lower center bar and makes a huge mess. Its really challenging to try to keybind that many damn skills and make play feel really clunky/cumbersome. ( I have yet to play the assassin/shadow or gunslinger/sniper so not sure how they are on abilities) But keep in mind you need to have your accessory skills up there too. ( medkits, stims, etc etc) opinion: Adding a 3rd bar across the bottom would really help. Personally I freeking HATE the side bars.

Disagree COMPLETLY. the issue with your argument is that your assuming that the only items worth crafting are for level 50 characters.

lets see here. Sorcerer is easier than a marauder. Assassin is easier than a marauder. Mercendary is easier than a maruder. ( by a mile ) Powertech is easier than a marauder. Operative is easier than a marauder. Sniper is easier than a marauder. Juggernaught is easier than a marauder. ( but not by much) so yeah. Looks like the marauder is the hardest of the classes to play. and on a side note. If you running aorund kiting on your merc, your doing something terribly terribly wrong. even elite mobs should be dead by the time the reach you in melee range.

Andronikos - He is voiced by Steve Blum who was also the voice of Grayson Hunt in Bulletstorm. I LOVE the crazy stuff he says in bulletstorm and wish he did it here too. Vette - I know you want that shock collar off....but I like it just where it is...please dont hate me. Blizz - Blizz is a beast of a tank (when geared) and always brings me something to drink from Jawa Juice.

I know a lot of people like the whole min/max arena but the reality is people (guilds ) are clearing the raid hard modes JUST FINE without any hard min/max numbers. you do not need to be at the pinicle of perfection as a hard core min/maxer in order to clear the hard modes. you guys are reading into this WAY too much. The focus is on making the hard modes doable based on skill (...and gear).

the light/meduim/heavy belt and bracers are random world drops. They are exceedinly rare. Most of the are class specific and I wager that a lot of people dont bother selling them on the GTN they use them or vendor them which certainly does not help get them into the hands of people that want them. Hopefully there will be other ways of obtaining them. but as nice as they are a good set of purple crafted ones are just as good.

well. Looking at the numbers. The game is a success. sorry. I hope you find a game that is more suited to what your expectations are.

I am 33 mercenary now. I am -350 dark side "nutral" Generally speaking if they are cool with me, I Am cool with them and let them live. If they are a jerk to me then I have no problem blasting them. There was maybe 1 guy I shot in the face for "double bounty bonus" because it was too funny not to. And it was for extra credits.

and so what ? 1 quest in Ilum will net you 10k just for the quest reward. and oh yeah, you can do them daily. And this does not include the trash "loot" that you can sell for additional cash, nor does it include the cash you get off mobs. If you do all of the daily quests ( belsavis and Ilum ) you can easily walk away with 250k in credits for a minimal amount of play time. Not to mention how often are you ripping mods out of gear in the first place? not very often. There are also crafting professions where you can take cheap raw materials, craft them into something useful to other players, and then sell it on the GTN and make money that way too. 70k is a drop in the bucket.

There are 2 visor/head (orange modable) gear pieces you can get with hoth commendations. Both will cover your eyes and leave the hood "down/off"

you can buy the gathering missions off the GNT usually. the Tier 6 ones are usually exceedingly expensive, all the rest people deemed "worthless" and can usually be gotten VERY cheap. Those will get you a ton of materials. I dont sell color crystals. They do alright but the real money is the enhanceents. you can make a lot of enhancements that people need that they cant get via the daily quests. you can also make the Tier 1 - 5 enhancements as well, which are hard to get as you level and sell VERY well, especially the blue quality ones. the Tier 3-5 sell the best because by then most people have a full set of orange gear that they upgrade as they level. I just wish we could craft a more epic-ier lightsabers. Time will tell. Suposedly there are a multitude of artificer recipes in the works.

sadly pommel strike works on silver mobs HOWEVER you have NO abilities that will let you incapacitate a silver mob to use it. Unless you go immortal and get hilt strike ( well thats the guardian version anyway)

Why would you be opposed to cross server LFG? IF you do not want to group with people across other server your not required to do it. you are perfectly free to LFG the old fassioned way. It in no way shape or form destroys the "community" on the server you love so much. if the "community" was so great to begin with then there would be no need for a cross server LFG system. So basically your complaining about nothing.

Best character line: *shrugs shoulders* Who's Revan? NPC response: *Stunned silent* you...you dont know who Revan is?

I hope they allow you to change: Hair (hopefully some new hair styles in there too) Hair color Facial hair Other features ( masks, racial markings etc ) Cosmetics ( make-up on, Make-up off ) Scaring ( you know, dramatic scaring to show off your arrow scar on your knee ) Of course they could really go wild and let you change everything. I am sure they could dip you in a kolto tank and re-ginetically engineer you. We have the technology. I seem to get myself stuck in a rut where I find a look I like....and then ALL my character look like clones of each other.

nice changes. Really like the text timer overlay. Looks like its going to be VERY useful. Flash toggle ...nice. I Would still like to see a 3 tier setup on the cooldowns. Fully illuminated- ready for use 33% dimmed - GCD 66% dimmed - ability on CD And of course allow those values to be adjusted.

Its a gear thing. I just dinged 50 a couple of days ago. Ilum was PAINFUL to get through. Now that I have some nice gear on ( GTN, flashpoints etc) Ilum is a joke. This class is so gear dependant its not even funny. ( have a 50 sorcerer for comparison, which even with crappy gear seems to perform just fine )

Legacy system, yes yes, sounds good-ish. -On the race thing I take it to mean that any of the currently playable races will be albe to play any of the currently playable classes. (eg a Chiss jedi knight.) Lightsaber color crystals..... -Purple color crystlas for everyone...plox? (not sure how you get please out of plox, but whatever) -There are 16.7 million different lighsaber colors available....spread the love. Guild services, yes yes, looks good. More flashpoints, yes More PVP....and yes PVP is going to be wildly popular. I mean think about it the EMPIRE is AT WAR with the REPUBLIC. I think players can really relate to that and want to participate. not to mention the PVP is hella-fu....n. Cross server PVP, yes. More battle grounds, yes. My only real disapointment is Ilum. I was hoping that the planet would be substantially larger and have a TON more solo-end-game questing available to it. EDIT: Dual specing. MEH , its ok, but honeslty why not just allow people to respec as they want/need for cheap.

my first ....and only though was: Have you ever played another MMO? and the answer is: no.
