Problem I got is that they have killed off the most interresting Empire characters allready, Malgus and Kilran are both dead (or well i bet you that Malgus is gonna pull a kaelthas) and the empire just feels divided and headed for an early defeat. The whole Malgus thing feels really forced on you too. Feels like a comfirmation that yeah, the empire are a bunch of racist space nazi's, we know that allready.

I think you might wanna bump up Minister of War as he is above Grand Moffs in rank according to Grand Moff Kilran when you talk to his holo in The Black Talon, he goes something like "Y helo thar, I am Grand Moff Kilran, second only to the Minister of War"

The Robot the trooper gets reminds me off the Liberation droid from Fallout 3, has the same hilarious rhetorical qoutes a republic killing AI would have!

I'm not sure if this is an issue with my headset (G35) or everyone has it, but there is a lack of music in the game, the few times i hear music is at load screens for entering a planet or at random, what i suspect, triggered quest events. It's kinda bothering me seeing as the music in the load screens is pretty good and the standard of the music has always been great in past Old Republic games. Is it like this for most people? I would love to get a fix so i can loop the music or something

and you gotta yell: SHORYUKEN! every time you knock a person off the platform in huttball with rocket punch!

I'm not saying to buff it flat out, but rather rework it, so it makes more sense to put it into your rotation while tanking. But honestly also make it so DPS can actually use it, I play a tank but it's really silly seeing how few abilities a DPSer get from the baseline skills on the Vanguard class compared to the Commando for instance. As for Storm I really don't see the huge problem with it being OP as baseline, compare it to the jedi knights charge and we spend so much time in the animation of it, it is kinda silly. And again the Jedi Guardian gets charge and force push without having to spec for it. I think that Storm makes alot more sense to have baseline with a 15sec cd then the Harpoon on a 45sec cd, and perhaps even put harpoon in the tanking tree if its gonna be an issue with huttball?

This skill has currently issues, it being one of the few baseline vanguard skills it is currently not very usable for any specs. It costs alot of ammo for very little damage, the only thing its really any usefull for is debuffing with the Shield Tech talent to get the 4% reduced damage debuff on several guys at once. Again its only really used by tanks since the damage it does per ammo is pretty pathetic and useless to use as any kind of aoe damage. My suggestion would be to remove the Storm talent, make it a baseline ability for Vanguards and replace it with Explosive Surge, then obviously remove Explosive Surge as a baseline ability and have it in the talent spot of Storm, give Explosive Surge some juicing up with either like a debuff, dot or maybe just remove some of the ammo cost add a cooldown but buff the damage. I think something needs to be done to the skill though. Any thoughts?

I always thought the Bounty Hunter loot from Black Talon really looks like Trooper armour

OK there is issues here, but saying UNLOAD does not have Pushback is total ********, even with the talent for reducing pushback on the BH merc class you will not get off all 3ticks off unload if you suffer damage and instead only do 2ticks of damage as compared to getting off all 3 ticks while taking no damage "the talent is broken in itself since it doesnt do anything for Unload". That said Mortar Volley needs to be reworked to mirror Death from Above in the way spells deals damage.

Oh yeah, larger debuff icons would be great, or atleast the option to scale them up much like the option to scale up healthbars. Add a cleanse medal or something for pvp too would be great!

Bounty Hunter is an amasing leveler, whenever there is 2+ weak / normal mobs fit in your aoe, Death from above whenever its off CD is your instant I win button on normal mobs and is an excellent opener even on strong / elites because of the high damage it does. Whenever DFA is on cooldown you should use your tracer dart / sweeping blasters and fusion missile (once you get it) again all these 3abilities does crowd control effects on normal guys so they are extremely effective at just making you kill stuff while barely taking any damage. On single target you do a heckton of damage too, at the start once you get tracer and dont have much of the later talents just rely on spamming that aswell as unload on cooldown allthough at certain levels it might just be better to spam tracers since you always lose out of atleast 1damage cycle on unload if you get hit while channeling. Be sure to fit in some autoshots for heat management on longer fights but most of the time heat is not much of an issue since it takes you 5 seconds or so to get your heat down with Recharge and reload ability. Be sure to use your energy shield (2min cooldown) vent heat (2min cooldown) and kolto injection (3min cooldown) on packs with several strong or elite guys. All in all bounty hunter merc is a very fast leveler with little to no downtime while killing stuffs PS: Sorry if I misstyped some abilities, be sure to ask if you are wondering about some of them.

No offense but... Overload - Is your highest damage per heat on a single target in the game. Basic Attacks - Is probably the highest damage autoattack off all classes and you need to fit them in your rotation if you wanna do decent dps for more then a minute. Sweeping Shots - Does damage to 5targets, most of your aoe does damage to 3, so it does way more damage when you gotta do aoe to more then 3targets, not to mention the fact you can combine all your aoe attacks like fusion missile, explosive dart and sweeping shots to do insane and massive aoe damage, do this with the thermal override ability on fusion missile + explosive dart and its not that bad on heat.

'Sup runt? I love him, I think the BH got such a well rounded crew of misfits as companions, Skadge felt like a nice and simple comic relief like the big dumb oaf he is.

Idea: Switch animation from the Heatseeker missiles (alternatively Fusion Missile?) to the Tracer Missile! So we dont look so silly while standing still and dpsing. Makes sense with the laser targetting on the current Fusion Missile, you calibrate your aiming with the laz0rs for future heatseekers. Seeing as Fusion Missile is the heaviest hitting one when you add the dot damage in I think it makes sense it could be the bigass rocket on your back.
