I know people don`t like reading much, so I`ll keep it short: Is it true you can rip out War Hero Armoring, Mods & Enhancements, pop them into your Rakata or Columni or Tionese empty shells, and get both the PvE and PvP set bonuses (since the PvE set bonus is tied to the shell on older gear). This would really be kind of a problem if true....

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on this. The Schematic: Sorcerer Adept Vestments dropped for me today. It was on my L32 Operative, from an Underworld Trading Level 41-48 Mission. HOWEVER, it took 8 days of Underworld Trading missions, about 6/day per companion, on 8 companions, two of whom were +UT crit. So, there we go. Hard to get schematics are super rare, but they do drop.

I would be happy with them just making a style/appearance tab, like they did in DCUO. This way, you could equip any piece of gear you wanted, but still retain the look you wanted. You would also not be sinking 35K credits per armoring/mod/enhancement you are ripping out.

Traditional Nylite Vestments is a Lvl 23 item, so you will want to run the Level 17-24 UT missions.

No, it's not. Granted, I am valor rank 69 on both my Sorc and Assasin, and have augmented BM boots and gloves on both, I will have to agree with the OP on this one. It is not very fair to those that have no interest in grinding PvP to NOT have the AVAILABILITY of augmented glvoes and boots. Furthermore, it is quite absurd that the only augmented gloves and boots that are available, as far as style goes, are the fugly PvP ones (yes, the Inquisitor BM and WH gloves and boots are fugly). I don't know what went through BW's head when they were developing this patch. A large portion of the community was extremely excited that they could finally customize their gear. 1.2 hits and it turns out BW put such limitiations on this aspect of the game, that it's hardly any different than pre 1.2.

Anybody find Schematic: Sorcerer Adept Vestments yet? I've been sending out my companions of Level 41-48 Underworld Trading/Slicing missions for days (since it's a Lvl 43 item), still nothing. Can anyone confirm that this stupid thing actually exists??

Anyone know if there is another way to get these other than Underworld Trading missions? I've been sending out my 2 +crit UT companions, along with every other companion that I have, on the highest UT missions, but have not been able to get them for the last 3 days. Any help would be appreciated! EDIT: Thanks for the feedback guys! This also just popped in my head: would it be possible to R.E. the Green/Blue Sorcerer Adept Vestments to get the Orange Schematic? I know you can't R.E. the purples, but what about the Green/Blue variation? Thanks again!

This can easily spiral into a philosophical discussion. For what it's worth, I weep for the future of humanity...

No. The one month of free play affects EA's stock price as much as a drop of water affects the waves of an ocean.

LOL those people on TV? They are not EXPERTS. They are, say it with me now, JOOUURRNNAAALLIISSTSSSS. They have no clue how things work, they just go off the most superficial things that are available, classify it as information, and then parrot it to other idiots that are less knowledgeable than they are. News programs that report, and try and inform people, on the how & why of stock market movements, are the ideal example of the blind leading the blind.

I like how you clump us all into one generic category. Like somehow, because we are competent in our field and have some sort of credentials that gives us credibility, we manage to be worse at our profession than someone who just guesses.

HAHAHAHAAH This has got to be the most uninformed, ignorant, conspiracy filled post I have read all day! Yes, my friend, life often has simple, "easy-to-understand", WRONG answers. Thank you for clarifying.

In short, no. The dip you are seeing in EA has nothing to do with SWTOR and the server downtime. The dip you are seeing is due to the sell-off that occurred early this morning across the board. Unless they are reporting earnings, or have some other type of MAJOR news, like and FDA approval for example, 75% of stocks follow the trend of it's major market index, i.e. NASDAQ, S&P, DJIA, TSX, etc.

*** are you talking about? Do you have different definitions of "down"? It has been following the trend of the NASDAQ almost perfectly in-sync. I don't think you understand how stock movement works. Take it from a CFA & CMT chartered professional.

It's true. The majority of the North American population is borderline mentally challenged. They stick to FOX News.

I agree. See I came from a little game called DC Universe Online. It was managed by SOE, which was headed by a little guy named John Smedley, a.k.a the dueling banjos kid from Deliverance. Unless you people have played that game, and endured the pain of SOE defecating all over EVERY SINGLE player, you cannot comprehend what suffering at the hands of a gaming developer is. This. Is. Nothing.

Don't forget internet!

HEY! Whatcha got there? Numbers?

Could you re-phrase this in English please?

This guy, he gets it.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question right, but Armormech cannot learn synthweaving schematics (obviously) and vice versa. However, keep in mind that to learn the War Hero schematics, whether you are armormech or sythweaving, you have to be Valor level 70.

Xxx, that was very helpful, thank you! It's exactly the info I was looking for!

I'm not currently on the PTS, and I haven't seen this answered in a way yet that clarifies my confusion, so if anyone is able to confirm the details of my query, I would be very grateful. Here is my dilemma: I was really looking forward to 1.2 for one big reason; to customize my look. For my Sorc, I really like the Voss Social V Mystic Robes, and for my Assassin, the lvl40 PvP gear. Both these armor sets are orange items. Will I be able to, as a Synthweaver, reverse engineer these items, learn the schematics, then craft them until they crit with an augment slot? I was under the impression that we will only have the ability to reverse engineer and learn schematics for endgame items (which, unfortunately, I do not find aesthetically pleasing at all), which is quite disappointing to me if true. Everyone I ask, everything I to read, seems to have conflicting and contradictory information. Would anyone be able to clear this up for me? Will I be able to perform the above, or no? Again, I would be very grateful for a straightforward answer.

I wasn't aware SWTOR had failed...this is news to me....
