Playing on 65 healers (Operative in 220 mix of Ops gear and Vendor, and Sorc in 216 mix of Ops gear and Vendor) I'm able to clear the H2 content on the Heroic terminal. That puts me mostly healing on the more challenging Heroics but hey healers... The Operative is using an INF 10 is companion. While the Sorc is using a INF30 companion. My less geared or less INF companions are all having more issues. I have to say let me pick which companions are good and which are bad by how I gear them. This their good one week and bad the next because you patched them isn't happy making. If they're bad because I didn't gear them then it's at least my choice. mallo

Agreed... slicing is breaking the economy

Someone needs to take a stand!! The exploitation of Innuendo is a growing problem and Musco needs to jump right on that and hammer it to the ground.

The other part of this is a lot of healers are not comfortable healing ToS with pugs. The number of DPS that don't get out of the AoEs is alarming.

It's not a question of afford not afford. It's a question of BioWare stated X (Subs won't have to pay for new planets) And then did something else (Charged for the new planet Makeb) Much like slot machines. .

You'll get it for free once the paid beta testing completes. That currently appears to be a ways out. But you should have a finished product.

Agreed my tank is an instant pop up to and including people making me swap characters so their DPS can get through the dailys. My healer is maybe 5 to 10 minutes.

Happy mods is no ones goal.

Better then X Server is working as intended. By teasing Better then X Server we delay actually having to work on ... really anything. As long as we distract the pla.... OMG LOOK IT'S ZIOST isn't it amazing?

They did? I missed that ...

Yeah that's your opinion my opinion is the slot machine was fine. A new economy would of stabilized but the group most invested in the old economy howled like stuck pigs until BioWare made unneeded changes. Anything that guts out the current gathering system would be welcome at this point.

True, but then BioWare is not entitled to my money. It's a two way street.

The other op exploit that was patched this week. The whole "We wanted to talk but couldn't in 2014 but that will all change in 2015." Commentary is turning into my top pick.

When GF was for 8 man we used it to fill in when we were short a DPS. As for tacticals maybe those pop fairly quick. But 60 HMs can be a wait at times on my healer. Tank is pretty fast to pop. I don't queue as DPS so yeah....

Could not agree more.

Two weeks of Gree? God no...it's bad enough being drug off to do Gree garbage for a week by my partners two weeks and I'll have to make up a work event to not log in one of those weeks.

Feel sorry for them? No not one bit. There are ways to communicate that you're not sure of what changes are coming without the post Eric put up last Friday. There was a long gap in communications during the Ravagers issue that could of headed off some of the vitrol with some pro-active communication. There is a lot of fire fighting but not a lot of trying to head things off from this group.

That is obviously not a part of the community teams job. And if they do bother to communicate the message is so vague that you can read anything into it you want. See the slot machine madness. Where some people took Erics message as reassuring that everything is fine. And others have taken it to mean that "of course the drops will be nerfed in a major fashion". Both of those camps are quoting portions of the same post from Musco.

Sense of honesty? Musco misled people into spending a ton of credits for what is now nothing but a worthless decoration. There is no honesty in what BioWare has done here.

The slot machine allowed crafters to bypass the gouging that slicers partake of. If I could use a different purple mat then the one slicers gain I'd use almost anything to cut them out. As they're the only group that can pick up credits from the ground. Mallo

Ahh I wondered how long it would be before SWTOR_Miner's mined data would show up here. Frankly the slot machine is fine crafters have under cut themselves and each other every step of the way in this game. Anyone who has played knows it's just a matter of waiting for the prices to drop to what you're willing to pay.

I've healed this with a missed Strike and made it (once!) While the damage is high it is doable the tank does need to agro the healers add though of you'll be too busy healing yourself to heal the group.

Might Hilt 37, Reflex Barrel 37, and Skill Barrel 37 can be RE'd from the Elite coms vendor. That is where I got those schematics. The Resolve Hilt 37, Guardian Hilt 37, Force Wielders Hilt 37, and the Commando Barrel 37 you need to RE from the Mainhand drop from Revan. I am not aware of an exploit for Revan so your safe on hilts and barrels as far as the schematic goes. The other issue is the Matter Trans-substatiator (however Bioware is spelling that). The influx of those is largely from the exploit on Ravagers but there are some that were gained through legit ops. There is no way for you to buy on the GTN and know where the crafter got his mats. I craft the Barrels and the Hilts for people who ask for them on fleet. I do them for mats plus tip. I don't ask for the provendnce of their mats.

Ahh interesting I don't remember the issue on the tactical side coming up but again healing so not paying much attention and haven't done the "new" reskinned flash points on the pub side. Sorry to hear that. I asked because I do have people dropping group on the empire side as well. Mallo

There is an issue with the right hand side? Typically when I heal that fight I'm on the right side and haven't had an issue getting the shield down. Are you sure the two people over there are doing the right things? Mallo
