To get one of the new companions it says I have to have a level 65 toon and get to rnd 5 of the eternal championship, but do need a new level 65 of both factions or just one?

WHY is the question we all want to know though?

^ Finally a reasonable person posts in this thread

OP is a drama queen. The event is fine, the rewards are fine. My guess is this is more for new players or to encourage F2P peeps to sub, etc.

Quick question, if I got the Republic fleet datacron, would the +10 apply to my Imperial toons? Normally only roll Imperials, no Pubs yet, but the Imperial fleet cron is a pain to get, my group wiped and died/got lost, etc, but I hear the Pub fleet can be solo'd. If I made a 60 Pub and got the Pub fleet cron would that apply to my Imp toons?

From my experience the OP is right for the most part. The physics in this game and jumping don't seem to mix. Some terrain you stick to, some terrain you slip off of, etc. So dumb to put a Mario Bros style mini game with this crap MMO. The thing that has worked for me is to use my assassin . #1 obviously you can stealth through the mobs, but more importantly.......PHASE WALK ROX!!! Placing phase walk down just before a tricky jump when you're already half way through and don't wanna start over if you slip up is HUGE!!! Higly suggest using either a sorc or sin for phase walk on jumpers, soooooooo handy!!

Read the patch notes for tomorrow would be up today, anyone know where they are?

From what I saw, they're nerfing the healing from our dots, that'll suck. Before with the 8m radius Death Field you could dot up a ton in PvE or PvP and nearly become a tank between your dot self heals, your bubbles and your actual healing abilities. It looks like they're buffing the bubble and our healing a little at the cost of extra force so maybe it'll be a fair trade off. I used to love having a ton of enemies around me in PvP, dotting them all up and laughing while they try to dps me down. Reducing the Death Field radius is stupid, because to me, the POINT of a madness sorc was as a DPS SUPPORT. Dotting up the enemy team to help your main dps toons burn 'em down.

Hoping to pick some brains. I PvP with dot classes, Hatred Sin, Madness Sorc, Anni Mara and wonder after crit, what's the stat to stack? Which gives a better dps payoff, Alacrity for faster dot ticks or Power for the bonus dmg?

PvP only, madness spec Sorc

10% is about where I sit currently. Just wondering which stat gives better over all dps. Wondering if Alacrity speeds the dots up enough to be worth having so much of it, or go power for the bonus dmg, know what I mean?

Quick question, I've got my Crit% up to 40% but wonder for my dots if I should dump augs for Power or for Alacrity? I play a Madness Sorc and wonder if the bonus dmg from Power would be better, or have quicker ticking dots with higher alacrity? Which would bring more dps?

I'd like not only a few comp customs, but allow me to dress her in better gear FFS!!!!!!!! I hate her outfit.

FORGET YOU, I like feeling like a total bad *** ................even though my companion is doing most of the work

I'd have her hurt so bad she forgets who you are, what's she's done, etc. Kinda like a blank slate. This way if you've had her evil before you could choose to make her light side, or vice versa. Have an opening cut scene where she is in battle but is badly hurt (at least her head anyway) Amnesia would be one way I'd fix the problem you've proposed, which IS a very valid point. Jaesa is VERY impressionable as we all know and will be drawn to you again and you can decide if she goes dark or light all over again.

Not sure if it's funny or sad that a game with the kinda money this one had behind it in development and launch would be so wonky lol. Alright, appreciate all the advice, guess I'll save my money No sense in pumping tons of scratch for little to no gain eh?

Really? There isn't any combination of a GPU/CPU that will run this game smoothly? That's almost hard to believe, it can't be THAT bad.

Hi, my rig is about 5 years old with 2 AMD 6900s in Xfire, an i7 975 with 6GB of Ram currently. Since this game is about 5 years old I figured it should run smooth but I get frame rates crashes a lot. Sitting idly I run at 60fps on Ultra setting, but in combat or traveling in my speeder I'll drop at times to the low teens. Also have slows and quick stops during cut scenes. My question being a computer noob is what can I upgrade/tweek to improve my frame rates? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you............your idea works. As soon as HK is done talking to you with his first scenario "Authorize Termination" and "Forbid Termination" appeared in my general abilities bar. I noticed you have to wait until he's done describing the first group of targets though.

What percentage does the crit stat cap at, is it 40%? Someone also told me there is a hard cap and a soft cap, is the soft cap 40%?

What stats should I focus on stacking for a Hatred Sin in PvP? Crit to near 40%? Alacrity for faster dots? Or dump a ton into Power/Mastery for bonus dmg?

Thanks for the great reply, you've given me a lot to chew on Sounds like Fury is the most effective and the easiest to use and to gear for. Been using Anni in PvE and have to say the bleed heals are horrible. I don't mind the ramp up time IF the trade off is some decent self healing, but there's not. Carnage takes probably more skill than I have + against smart players it sounds like it can be shut down. Again, thnx for the response

Leveling my Mara with the endgame for me of using him for WZs. What's the best spec for PvP?

We need to just get RID of the 2 stupid Huttballs in exchange for 2 NEW ACTUAL WZ MAPS! I do enjoy the classic Huttball map, but only for killing people...........never for the stupid ball............and as a Founder I can tell you a GREAT many feel the same way. New WZ maps would pump a lot of new interest into PvP, it's been a long time now since we got one.

Stop trying to face tank everyone with a sorc, seriously. j/k..........USE your phase walk!!! Strategically place your phase walk ahead of time in good hiding spots IF you get ganged up on, a must. Time your ccs and keep your enemy dotted up and learn to kite while you heal. There are utilities that will even heal you while you use your bubble and force barrier. There is also a utility I like that adds a snare on to your Affliction dot for added kiting. Creeping Terror has a 2 second root, use that with force slow + Affliction and force speed away and heal up, then zap 'em + Demolish 'em down. Madness Sorc works if you stay with your group and USE them as meat shields (don't let ppl flank you). Dot up everyone (equals decent self heals if enough have dots running) and support your team mates with bubbles and heals (THEY stay alive, so do you, they are your line of defense after all). Use Madness as a support class for dps and off heals and you'll shine. If you try to John Rambo with a Madness Sorc and roll up to every PT, Jugg or Mara and face tank them 1 on 1 you won't have fun, especially with PTs, their burst can be sick. Madness isn't a good 1 on 1 (although you CAN 1 on 1, it just takes longer because you're a dot class and have to kite). Nor is it a good node guarding class or solo anything, it's a support class, that's where it shines. So in short, stay with your team mates, assist them in dps and off heals and you'll see big numbers in total dmg + healing.
