Sweeet! I'll be there, can't wait. Thank you guys for showing some love to those of us in Dallas!

@vandicus - The way I see it, issue 1 isn't a direct comparison between the monthly allowance and the $20 for 2400, i think it's more about the value that each package he references offers in totality over the course of a year. It's the unbalance that doesn't make sense to me and I agree with the solution. Alternatively it would be great if BioWare offered broader (not necessarily deeper) discounts for subs than they do now. I know I would spend more $$ if the items I actually wanted were more affordable. Also, providing loot tables would not reduce purchases if the loot was seen as valuable to the players. Nobody wants to pay money for a cracker jack box that has nothing good in it. Just like nobody wants to put coins in that stupid claw machine at the arcade and get no furry pets. Do you think people buy cartel packs for the items they HOPE they get or the items they don't care about getting or are clueless about? Information is power, and to make money you have to show customers that you're providing them with something they want. Providing no evidence for your opinion that subs buy more packs is a perfect example of armchair analysis, so maybe watch where you sling that mud around.

Dude this would be so awesome! I'd love a ranked 1v1 bracket.

I just ran some tests with biochem adrenals to see if they were worthwhile or not. What I found is that they're pretty pointless for the amount of effort it can take to make them. I'm going to share some numbers and I'd like to get your thoughts. The test toon was a level 19, sith inquisitor, sorcerer (corruption). Click to see my talents. I ran two tests to see which Adrenal would benefit my healer the most, see the results for yourself. Using "Battle Triage Adrenal" (Increases Force Power and Tech Power by 90 for 15 seconds.) Dark Heal without "Battle Triage Adrenal" 382 545 343 345 355 386 AVG 392.6666667 Dark Heal with "Battle Triage Adrenal" 402 600 393 379 411 399 AVG 430.6666667 Net additional heal of 38pts over 15 seconds. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Using "Battle Efficacy Adrenal" (Increases Alacrity by 90 for 15 seconds.) Dark Infusion without "Battle Efficacy Adrenal" 630 642 635 638 640 SUM 3185 Dark Infusion with "Battle Efficacy Adrenal" 630 630 661 649 635 SUM 3205 Net additional heal of 20pts over 15 seconds. Additionally, there is a 3 minute cooldown on adrenals, so it's not like you can spam them back to back. The added benefits seem utterly negligible. Am I missing something? Is my math wrong? Why would any bother make these? I think BioWare needs to revisit the adrenals and make them either longer (45+ seconds) or increase the stat buff to a much higher figure. Thoughts?

Several months ago somebody shared a fan website that was created soley to help you understand gear progression for raids. You could even filter the gear by class, flashpoint, etc. I cannot for the life of me find it anymore, does anyone remember what it was called? It was a pretty simple website but very useful.

I'm also on belgoth's beacon and i'm feeling pretty impatient. I guess I can wait a few more days, kinda tired of saying that though...

Oooh we got a real ****** over here. Too good for pvp communication.

What a bummer then. I wonder what the reasoning was. I'd guess it'd imbalance <50 bracket too much.

None of this has expertise stats on it until you get to 40+. Where's all the expertise before then?

I've been looking all over for gear/mods that have expertise stats on them for my pvp toon. I know i've seen them before but it seems really rare and hard to find. Can anyone confirm that Cybertech or Artifice can create mods that have +expertise stats? If so are they recipes you buy or are they usually items you have to reengineer?

Totally agree! I'm just now getting around to understanding this event and what's available. Please extend it another week!

I'm about to hit 50 and I'm worried about the 50 bracket after all the horror stories i've heard on these forums. So, any tips for doing well in the 50s bracket? I'm going to go ahead and claim all the troll posts right now like l2p, uninstall, re-roll, LOLPVP, and.... bioware doesn't know how to make gaimz.

The last 10 minutes were really good, he talked about how insanely difficult and unreasonable the pvp gearing system is.

Thread of the year already.

Started reading the thread seriously, then realized what a horrible article it is. This guy "Dan" references bugs that have been patched, and spreads rumors that the devs themselves have already addressed. Total hit piece.

my juggernaut vengeance spec gets some serious kills. but yea i agree sorc is EZ pvp mode.

Hmmm good to know, thanks Jadeor.

If you've been playing Immortal (tank) spec in pvp and not having fun, roll full Vengeance (dps) and prepare for a lot more fun. I should've gone Vengeance awhile back, i get so many more kills. Also, heavy armor keeps you from feeling completely squishy. the build i'm using: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#1010MZIGMR0uddhRZG00M.1 1. build rage 2. wait for savagery Savagery proc 3. force scream 4. slam if multiple targets 4. rinse/repeat

/signed please add them to ships!

I think most planets have an Imperial Fleet ship that you can take as a shortcut to get back to the Imperial Fleet instead of heading back to your ship and going through a bunch of load screens. Can we get a filter added to the global map that shows where these are located? They always seems to be located in random corners of the world and I always forget where they are.

What? Huttball is my favorite warzone by far! No way am I signing this petition.

/signed Please give 40-50 their own bracket.

How would that work? A halo on your head?

I don't know man. According to the FAQ: Where can I find the serial number of my Security Key? For the Physical Security Key, the serial number is visible on the back of the security key. For the Mobile Security Key, the serial number is assigned to you when you set up your mobile security key. To view it, launch the app, click the “Information” icon, click “Security Key Information” and the number will be listed under “Serial number”.
