In the end, game-play will always trump lore.

I think the original problem was the randomness of getting gear, which is a very legitimate complaint. Since then it seems like the barter system gets changed with every major patch. I don't think it's as much of a result of players as it is BioWare not having a clue how they actually want to do it.

Wow. This is the first I have heard about this change. It sounds terrible. I mainly pvp in this game, even for leveling. It's slow going, but it's how I enjoy the game and I make just enough to get by. This change will cripple my play-style and remove a lot of the enjoyment I get from this game. I was looking very forward to 1.2. Now, I'm not too sure anymore.

900 wz comms for a weapon? They're out of their mind.

The only issue I have with Resolve is when I get stun-locked to death and my resolve is gone by the time I get back into combat from the rez. It makes the whole system pointless because it's gone by the time you're in combat again. I would like to see it where Resolve only starts to tick down while you're in combat.

I've seen some comments on the subject, but I have not seen anything official. All of my characters have been saving up Mercenary Commendations because I didn't have anything to spend Warzone Commendations on to stay under the 1k cap. With 1.2, I know the Mercenary Commendations become obsolete. I was wondering if there will be some sort of reimbursement from Mercenary Commendations back into Warzone Commendations with 1.2? As it stands right now all I am seeing is that I would have to barter them at the 3:1 ratio again. Meaning that my 1k Mercenary Commendations will turn into a little over 300 Warzone Commendations (which originally cost me 3k Warzone Commendations). Across all of my characters that's over 10k Warzone Commendations I would end up losing if this is true. Any official response is welcome, or if someone can provide a link to one it would be greatly appreciated. TL;DR

I don't particularly mind CC. I understand it serves a purpose. That being said, I don't think the resolve mechanic is in quite the right place yet concerning the abundance of CC that exists in this game.

I haven't seen an answer to this yet. Would love to know myself. Edit - Looked around. Seems like we're going to have to convert them back to wz comms. So basically 900 wz -> 300 merc -> 100 wz. Wow, thanks a ton BioWare.

It will probab ... I love Huttball.

I've never quite understood why some players "need" a gear grind. From a developer point of view it makes sense to me, but from the player point of view it doesn't. We all like shiny new gear, but I'm talking about the people whose sole purpose is to acquire gear. It's like that guy we've all met before that "finishes" characters and never touches them again. He spent all that time getting gear, but doesn't want to play that character anymore and enjoy all the effort he put into it. I'd rather enjoy playing the game than having more satisfaction looking at my character panel.

3 months from now? Quite possibly less. Mainly because it will be summer time for those of us in the North Hemisphere and that is generally not a good time for subs.

It's merely the Sith weeding out those not suitable to live. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Indeed they are.

Does it matter? Nope.

You're probably going to get flamed for this. Which is unfortunate since you are a grass type Pokemon.

I go out of my way to kill them. I do not like having one of them around at all.

Oh boy, here we go.

Sentinel/Marauder are simple enough to play at the start. However, once the quickslots start getting crowded and the rotation starts getting longer, I don't think many people will want to play them when they find out strong does not necessarily mean easy to play.

This is a very good question and I would like to know as well. Currently sitting at 42 with 1k mercenary commendations already saved up. It would be good to know if I need to rush to 50 sooner rather than later.

Accept it and move on, or don't accept it and quit. Those are your options.

It might not be what a lot of people want to hear, but at some point lore has to take a back seat to gameplay.

I haven't payed the Guardian, but I do have fun with Sentinel and Vanguard.

Or they may call in a Pinch Runner.
