Just keep waiting, and waiting. The post can be summed up as "well we still think we want to do that, but haven't really decided yet. Why does posting on a forum require months of planning or round table meetings? Either you are going to do it or you aren't. Apparently, two months hasn't been quite long enough to figure out how to talk to people..............

Ahh, the old "I'm right and everyone who doesn't agree is wrong" thread. Fresh and new. OP noobed it up and blames the system for his mistake. Quality stuff.......

You might want to read through your source info again and give this another try........

This is the first rage post over a vanity pet I think I have read. Very nice. I will take all the pets they want to throw at us, especially since they don't take up bag space

This post made my night. I didn't think world PvP actually existed in this game, then here you are actually posting about it on a PvE server of all places. I really don't know what to tell you other than run and hide. LOL, best post of the week imo.

That is 300+ in upgrades, plus he is running an AMD board now, so that would need to be switched also which will be another $80 minimum. I would just upgrade the CPU to a newer AMD and maybe another 4gigs of RAM and see what that does for you.

Did we really have a question asking if Expertise helped in any way in PVE? Really? I usually don't gripe, but are we going to have a question next week answering whether or not Agents/Smugglers/Commandos/Bounty Hunters can use lightsabers? /Facepalm

It looked like we were constantly taking a crap in our armor before. The change is one of the single best changes they have made to the Bounty Hunter class. Keep it how it is, please.

Not sure what your issue is, but my non-crits hit for around 2.4-3k and, like I said, my crits are hitting for 4.5-5k. I am in similar gear as you. I have 3 pieces of BH gear and the rest is Rakata w/ the legacy belt and bracers with Rakata mods in the them. No reason yours shouldn't be hitting just as hard unless you missed something in your talent tree.

You called them Assies!

Darthwoad, why are you posting the same rant in multiple threads? I am seeing 4.5 to just over 5k crits on HSM and after augmenting just half my gear, my dps is up across the board. What gear are you in?

My heat management and damage are both doing well since 1.3. We vent heat every 6 seconds rather than having an unlucky long streak without a crit and overheating really quickly. Not sure why you are having problems.

There is just no pleasing people. Dear doomsayers, 1.3 came out today. Perhaps, there is a bit of a surge in log ons today to check out the new stuff?!? Take a deep breath and maybe wait a week then you won't have to waste your precious time waiting in an hour long queue.

The only gear sets that the set bonus can transfer with the armoring mod is the War Hero and Campaign gear. All other gear the set bonus is on the shell of the actual gear so it won't transfer.

It is a separate 30% chance and they share a CD. Also, all the relics are getting an overhaul in 1.3 so you may check out the changes before buying any with your daily commendations.

OP, from your post history it seems you have been displeased with the game since at least April. I would say maybe hang it up? Why keep playing a game that obviously frustrates you? It is like saying the food you are eating is disgusting, but then you continue to eat it.

Our guild is on the same boat, and coincidently on the same server! We are waiting to say "Goodbye Twin Spears!!"

Your thread link is fake. I think that sums it up.

That was a bug, that weapon is now Custom quality. It was never meant to be legendary and I assure you it isn't.

That shouldn't take too long when only a couple dozen log in on most servers.

You need to start with the daily quests on Belsavis, Corellia, and Illum. That will give you some money and Rakata implants, earpiece, and Campaign Relics. Also, it will give you access to the level 50 mods for any custom gear you have. You can also get your legacy belt and bracers from your capitol, Kaas City for Imps, and put some mods in them. Check the GTN for the Rakata level mods, 25, and get as many of those in your gear as possible. Outside of that start running HM FP's for Columi gear and Tionese crystals and commendations and you will be on your way.

I understand that thus why I called it "augmented" gear. Your original post was arguing that PvP'er somehow had an advantage in PvE because of this. It is simply not true. Can they get augmented gloves and boots easier? Sure. What modifications are they going to put in them. Remember these are pvp'ers not raiders. So if they are pvp'ers they are not going to have any campaign gear to rip the armoring, mod, or enhancement out of to put in to their augmented Battlemaster gear. They can either put War Hero modifications or Battlemaster modifications in their augmented PvP gear. Both of which are far inferior to even non augmented Campaign gear when it comes to PvE due to the heavy allotment of expertise in both sets. So while the augmented pieces may be easier for PvP'ers to obtain, they still have to participate in the new raid to get any sort of chance at getting campaign gear to take the mods out of. Even more so they would have to get either the boots or gloves because the armoring can only be put in to a like slot. So either way you look at it a PvP'er would have to PvE to get the modifications out of the Campaign gear, or a PvE'er will have to PvP to have access to the augmented gloves and boots more "easily" as you say. Either way I don't think one has an advantage over the other.

How does having augmented gloves and boots help PvP'ers in PvE? Because they can put all those PvP modifications in their new gear? They would have to PvE to get PvE items to rip PvE mods out that are worth a crap (lvl 58 or above) to make them on par with the PvE gear in PvE situations. Unless you are angry they could possibly take their expertise stats in to raids and still do less than a geared PvE'er could in full Rakata.

Dailies give decent points as you pick up and turn in the quests. Also you can solo run normal BT and pick the convo options that give him points. Ultimately you would be best served to buy the max level epic gifts and give those to him. They provide around 500 affection each so it would take 8 or so to max him out for you. My server they sell for about 10k each...so 80k and you are done.

Have you checked what cylinder you have active? I was disconnected from the server one night and when I logged back in none of my cylinders were activated and I was overheating quickly. I realized the problem and all went back to normal.
