I'm sorry but... WHAAAAAAAAAA??? I don't know if i should be laughing right now as loud as i am.

I play EVE but i never die because of bugs. I die from mistakes, being ganked on or pure dumbness of the moment [aka too much drinking and flying] NEVER EVER because of BUGS. Imagine the flames spreading in eve forums if there was a bug that was responsible for their ship to go bye bye. nuff said.

Had the same problem today in huttball when I tried to crouch, got me killed in the most stupid way in the world to someone i could have killed in a second if i was in cover. thankfully it didn't happen again till now... though I do think it will when i need it the most.

It's almost the same looking as the Rakata enforcer/medic chest, though i don't recall they are as white as this one. the tech field is much cooler looking for my taste though here's my pretty agent http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9201/68545360.png http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/6015/39235841.png

If you are a sniper, you should aim for 4 pieces of field tech gear since you will have the set bonus that fits your abilities. after you got them, you can always change mods from other gears to opt your desired stats. for example if you want a little bit more cunning, you can get the enforcer gear [for example boots] which have more cunning on the armoring mod piece then the one on the field tech armoring mod piece and just extract it and put it in the field tech's one. you will still have your set bonus but will also have a little more cunning instead of endurance. [btw dont bother checking the actual boots im talking about, i'm giving this as an example for the sake of the explanation, you should look at all 3 gear types and compare the stats in the games vendor] dont forget that you may only extract mods from the boots and then put them on other boots, you cant extract them and then put them into the chest piece and so on. so choose wisely

I don't think anyone is more annoying to have as Vector the bugman. wish i could squash him as the bug he is. not to mention that he is the only romance option for the female IA. now this sucks.... anyone in his right mind cannot seriously be turned on or even be comfortable with him always saying "WE are" "WE like" "WE want"... damn thats creepy

and today [monday] we got the gloves. tomorrow will be another piece. im guessing that the last day we get the chest and then the event will be over.

i did say rakata/calumi whichever you got. and basically this op is more about coordination and execution and not 100% depended on gear at all. yes it will take you a lot of time to understand the mechanics if you don't watch guides about it and yes its hard to coordinate with pugs and so on. but that's in the end where the fun is. rewards don't come freely. work a bit, eventually you'll get it. and one other thing, as an mmo, you do need to give incentive to people that play a lot of time, if new things are easy they will stop playing it because they don't get any gratification from it.

why should new 50's be able to easily take out a new harder lvl op that is made for people that actually did the previous 2 ops to gear up. for us, the people that cleared the last 2 ops, the new op story mode is fun and challenging but more then possible to do. you need to take the same road we took to get here. Do the old ops, gear up and then go to the new op. it was made as a challenge for people that are not finding EV and KP challenging anymore because they did them so many times and already got all the gear, we SPENT TIME doing them. a lot of time. why should this new OP story mode be easier then the old OPS HM? even be equal to it? common, this is called PROGRESSION. it should be and feel a story mode for rakata/calumi geared people exactly like EV/KP story mode feels for ungeared fresh 50's.

a wise man once said:

but they said: "This contest is only open to residents of the United States"

Recriute gear is deffinetly NOT for PVE content, its stats are VERY low. the only good thing about is that fresh lvl 50s can buy it and get straight into warzones [PVP] and that is it. they can use a full lvl 49 orange moded gear, the mods they can get by doing dailys or buying them. but dont go let them in a HM FP with recruite gear, they will be usless. you can also do the normal [story mod] of the PF and get some tionese crystals and buy tionese gear [and also gear em up with the gear that drops there] all of these choises are much BETTER then Recriute, that from the beginning was only made for pvp to let fresh 50s to get into the action fast. Another advice, if you have some geared players in your guild, take the most geared once with the freshies [like 2-3 geared and the rest fresh] and walk them through the PFs. and trust me, we finished most of PFs in around an hour or 30 min depending on the FP. you can rotaite the members like that. but all this is achivable when guildies are ready to help eachother instead of doing thier own thing with their time. but it does help and in a week most of the freshies will be mostly geared. thats what we done early on in our guild to get ready for ops an just easily gear some people up. hope that helps

it doesn't

don't forget that if you want to craft an end game mods and such, you need to run ops or HMs to get the schematics. nothing here is handed for free mate, your will still need to run endgame content to be able to switch the mods and also be able to craft endgame gear and mods. so in the end, if you dont run the ops and such, you get no benifit from this update whats or ever. and i would like to be able to use my fav orange gear instead of the horrible looking pvp gear i have to choose from as an IA. thats one of the reasons i dont even bother with pvp. the gear is ugly as it can be for my taste. at least the pve gear looking pretty, but not all. now with this update we get to choose how we look and still have the same lvl gear.

why are you comparing the champion to Tionese? who ever is doing HM never even bother with Tionese gear from the first place [if they do... well, i guess they had crap gear to begin with so they are just uping thier gear a bit.. or that they are stupid] if you want to make a valid point, you should compare the same tech gear. its easy to get T1 gear in both pvp and pve, and they are truely bad comparing to the T2. here, i'll do it for you: Champion Field Tech's Jacket [sniper] Total Stats: +87 Cunning +86 Endurance +46 Expertise Rating +44 Power +48 Accuracy Rating Columi Field Tech's Jacket Total Stats: +114 Cunning +98 Endurance +44 Power +48 Accuracy Rating same Tech lvl. now tell me, with 87 cunning and a 86 endurance you really expect doing much in a NM? really???? [HM with champion is fine but def not with Centurion which you may actually pull out with the equivalent to it- the Tionese, but it will still hurt a bit] its comes to a big ststs difference when you are fully geard. so common, dont make me laught. pvp gear is crap for pve, its simple as that. unless ofc you dont have anything better for pve cuz you always pvp. but trust me, the min you start pveing, and get some pve gear, youll drop the pvp gear immidiatly cuz its just wont cut it.

wait... what are you still doing in these forums then? :confused: i guess you got confused and got here by accident. go you.

same exact thing i said to my guildies when we defeted him. no corpse or it didn't happen.

mmm i guess i'll join the party as well me and my love stupid drunk i guess when i'm not drunk

best thread i've seen in ages, if ever.

inspiring words, really... he still does great work unlike [most] other IA's out there.

I'm a marksman lvl 50 and i srsly wanna try engeneering... how does that work exactly? do you also gotta be in cover most of the time or do you have a little bit more mobility? how about the dmg output in PVE? is it still good as the marksman to kick some npc butt? im doing ops with my guild and not much of pvp anymore, so i would really like to know if its worth changing to and can i have more support for the guildies while we raid with it? id love to get some input on this from someone that actually play the eng tree and run ops. and again, i dont care much for the pvp aspect, IA is kinda hit and miss sometimes, i can work with anything anyway in that when i actually go and do pvp, which i dont do much anymore.

Same as i did since lvl 20 with my IA, in some points i hade to kill someone for LP and let them live and serve the empire for DP. which for me as an IA, that is about using my BRAIN, made me just earn LP since it was kinda the stupid way around to keep that person/technology [or the other way around] the wise thing to do so it wont back stab you later on. though i did go to lvl IV DS since i like being evil. but some choices i had to take and on the way gain some LP. I really stopped caring much about them anymore. as I play my IA [now lvl 50 anyway], i like being smart and not rackless about anything. if there is a chance that someone is lieing his way to just survive and promiss he will work for the empire, i dont take the baite, i kill it. no loose ends. overall, the IA is one of the classes people should check out, it has an amazing storyline and a very good bunch of choices. sometimes i found myself sitting in a convo for a long time and just thinking what should i choose and if its the choice i am willing to live with. the end game is freaking awesome, and i really cant wait to get more in the future expensions that will wrap more of the early choices i made.

I think they should give the pvp "fixing" a rest for now, people always gonna whine about that. but the PVE aspect, common, we are talking about programs and not other human players, its should be simple enough to just tune to the community voice [which like 95% say the same exact thing, unlike pvp] and give us what we need so we will continue playing and enjoing the game. and im not saying i will drop playing anytime soon, i do have faith in BW, but time is cruicial here, other players dont wait too long and you need to give them, us, a bone here and fast. most of us wasting time on broken things, while you try to rebalance pvp, but common, the whiner voice of pvpers are much lauder then ours becasue they are facing other players, and there are more emotions in the play there. we on the other hand, the PVE players, spend hours and hours in game trying to fight buggy npcs and then do dailyes for other hours, we spend SOOOOO much time ingame and not in the forums because its logical to just try again the npc and not just spend our time whining in the forums that X class is OP, and N class is UP, and the B class is soooo OP and blah blah blah instead of actually playing. PVP gets frustrating much faster, and face it BW, it will take you ALOT of time, if ever, to setisfy the pvpers. but common, you CAN setisfy US, the PVEers much much much easily and more productivly for the long run.

I sooooo agree with this. im a sniper and i srsly needed a healer before i got the doc, i just prefered to get my ars kicked while lvling jsut so i wont need to take out the darn droid. i wish there was a way to mute him XD

though they could have made him less annoying and maybe i would have thought of using him and not strugling in combat till late lvls as a sniper. i hate that droid and i refused to use him as my comp till i got the doctor. I just wish there was a mute botton on the darn droid and just shut him up for good. it was hard to finish some quests without a healer as a sniper, but hey, i got the doc now and EVERYTHING is much smoother. they should have made the first or even second companion a healer for the IAs, i found it all be much harder without one. and again, there is noooooo way i would use a freaking annoying companion that pisses me off each time i get on my ship, and go questing with it. BW should really give us the option to either change his character to something more appropriate like lets say... HK-47? or something close to it. OR just let us mute the hell out of him. he is THIS annoying.
