Some of us are enjoying the story. Even though IM level 50 Legacy 6, I have many hours played, I didnt rush through my first story, hit it at 202. So I enjoy all the little perks and nuances, and if there is something that is only applicable at character creation, Id like to have that available.

Nod, I am just worried that there will be character creation perks (as mentioned) that I wont be able to use if I start an alt now, or that my levelling will be slower because legacy will grant an xp bonus, etc. I am legacy level 6 right now, and still enjoying my 50 (though I have a respeccing problem).

I know they havent announced specifics, but should I wait to start my alt till the legacy system is in play?

I am republic and have the mission for the Eternity Vault. Where do I go to start it? I have spoken to the general on the ship, but I do not see an actual start point there, nor with the quest selected do I see anywhere indicated on Belsavis. Any help?

One of my favorite things to keep me excited about an MMO is an active Under Development or Coming Soon section. In it you should have: Very Soon (next big patch) Later (few months) In Development (expansion plans) Doesnt have to be super detailed, but the more the better. Reading the CM's Q&A on Reddit, I realized he doesnt say whats coming next, just we are working on a lot of things. As one of the people who pay their salary, I hope and trust they are working on a lot of things, please give us some insight where your work is currently directed.

Even fully spec'd it seems to be bad compared to scoundrels ability to keep himself up. Maybe healing a tank we are all equal, but sage just doesnt seem to turtle up well. (And yes, I know, CC the healer, but CC's have CD's and i just blew them on the guy trying to cap the door)

Ive gone full heal spec (level 39 now) and I do not seem to "turtle" as well as other healers I encounter. You know the ones, they hunker down and self-heal and it takes 2-3 people to take them out effeciently? To me it doesnt seem the same, maybe my casting sequence is off? What are your results?

Wow, His thread got 3 pages of replies, hehehe. Apparently, just like in politics, hate and fear get more than support and advice. If it bleeds it leads right? Side note, a good place to do this from is in front of an auction terminal zoomed way in on it so you see no movement or animation. Splashtop handles sound and movement, and I could actually travel about, and depnding on the speed of my connection, if they were several levels lower than me I could probably even manage a fight, but wouldnt want to do it.

way to hijack the thread. this has nothing to do with mods. this is simply a remote desktop application that letsmyou see your screen as ifyou were sitting in front of it. its a little clinky depending on your connection speed, if going over 3G cellular ita probably best if your character is staring at a wall. but it works, and until bioware gets out a companion app, itll do

I did it using Splashtop on my iPad. I tested it over wireless and over internet. Worked perfectly fine for crafting and chatting with guild members. This is not an advertisement for Splashtop, I imagine you might be able to do it with LogMeIn or other such remote desktops, I just know Splashtop works for me. Good luck, and my life is now gone since I can craft while not home <grin> Merry Christmas.

Because males of the species are more colorful to attract females of the species, you silly peacock.

I swear I saw a Dev post back in beta that said Yes. If you put your CE code in, your account becomes CE, even if you already used the DE.

And? <grin>

Astralfire's handbook is great, and the specs it gives are really good, even if you plan to tweak them, and of course, for someone new to the class, well, I just wish all classes had a handbook that good. That being said, what it doesnt have in it is a section on the most effecient use of points for levelling up the quickest/easiest. IE, he states that putting the 5 pts in the TK tree to start is mandatory, and I find it really slowed down levelling. Yes it gives you a lot of extra force, but things die a lot slower. If you went Astrals route, you would be level 14 before youve done anything other than give yourself more force, which is handy for longer fights, but i feel shorter fights matter more. So, given the fact you will respec at some point (and it gets expensive but thats another issue), how do you feel points should be spent from level 10 on up to most effectively level, perhaps even with one or two respecs along the way. (Respecs cost 0, 200, 1200, 4000, 8000, 29000...to date) Things Ive noticed... (and I am thinking a lot towards PVP as well as PVE)... 1) While you may not plan to stay in the balance tree, getting to telekinetic balance is a game changer. It makes you a one trick poney, but its a hell of a trick. TB lets you spam your Throw (channeled pebbels) eternally. This works even more when you add Psychic Barrier, which means throw now restores force. Seriously, it can wreck your sage ability cause its all you cast: Send oz, cast a weaken or crush, and throw away to regen power. So this would be first three in empowered throw (level 12 now), 2 in Will of the Jedi (level 14), 3 in Upheaval (level 17 now) (cause throwing two bolders is better thanone), 2 in Critical Kinesis (level 19 now), then Telekinetic Balance (level 20) and your life changes. Now you put 3 into psychic barrier (level 23) and now your throw is a snaring, dotting, force regenning blast. Seriously, you cannot run out of force using this. And its a continusouly applied snare in pvp. This is just one path, and only gets you to 23. What tree paths have you guys found assists you in levelling easier/faster?

Plus, at least for me in pvp at 29, nothing surprises the melee'ers more than when you start doublestriking them. Seriously, if you have a melee, low on health, trying to take you out before he dies, just pop bubble and doublestrike, it does nice damage and surprises the crap out of them. Then of course bounce em and finish em off.

Since it has to be aimed, not just cast, it really slows/stops the flow of casting it seems. TW I can see being useful cause it just plows through a group, but FiB, unless used to start a fight, just seems to have little place in pvp.

That was the only reason I took it due to the crit+ on TK and the fact that if I could get a trickle heal while spamming it, all the better. So yeah, it seems then that at lower levels (im 29 now) FI is worthless if it only procs off a crit WM or MC, as those are reliable enough at levels when every point matters.

And possibly the other maps too, so we can work out strategies... But Huttball, you would take your team out on the field and work on passing and strategies and whatnot, a think you just cant do in a match. Make it 0 reward, but let us pick a huttball practice field for premade 8man raids.

I put one point in it and almost never see it tick. Is it only good at high levels when your crit chance is much higher?

I have the DE Holocamera, and we took down SD-0 the other day so i used it, where do the picture go?

Kinda have to agree here, give us a dual spec item, or cap the respec cost.

While levelling up the sage heal pvp spec, after the first 7 in telekinesis, how should yo ubuild do you think? (open world pvp sage healer)

They just opened two new PVE servers, so someone is there flipping switches.

The dev missed the point of the RP-PVP server threads, we dont want more servers, we want a specific type of server. The two new PVE servers they opened are sitting at standard still. We need a new east coast RP-PVP server.

The closed the PVP server thread, they dont get we dont want more PVE servers, sigh.
