I've had about half a dozen of these now, the latest being: Display Name Date Subscription Status Reward USERNAME_DELETED 03.20.16 Subscription has been inactive for over 90 days 200 (CC) Somehow this referral managed to not only give much less than the 600CC that I'm supposed to get but also go through the 90 day expiration period in less than 10 days. When making tickets about the subject all I get is despite it obviously isn't working correctly.

It's pretty normal for games to be cheaper in certain countries. Here's some of the countries that usually get games a lot cheaper than other countries: Brazil, Columbia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Falkland Islands, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Most 60$/50€ games will usually be 50-75% cheaper in those countries.

Yeh I don't mind the chance cubes so much, getting Bracers with those Platinum packs was just plain annoying though. For a Gold tier item, bracers are just ridiculous.

One thing is not getting the item they want from the platinum pack, another thing entirely IMO is how often you'd get a stinkin set of bracers from it. So much for buying packs with visual stuff / fancy pixels and getting stuff that you often won't be seeing on your outfit anyway.

Tell them what? I can't remember any of them using shields during in-game combat and the Exarch who does never blocks/deflects anything + has fugly combat animation: Additionally, the Zakuul Knights aren't Jedi or Bounty Hunters. The tank classes we play in SWTOR are.

Regular Shields just doesn't really lend itself to Star Wars, at least I've yet to hear of any Jedi or Bounty Hunter using a regular shield as part of their gear. Introducing shields would also mean introducing a new game mechanic and possibly a lot of new combat animations and I highly doubt they'd put that much effort into what is pretty much just a cosmetic change.

As it is now, Commando Gunnery is a tad stronger than Sniper on Dummy parses, the damage potential of Arsenal is a bit higher than Sniper. Commando Gunnery is also more mobile than Sniper with the right Utilities. However, once the fight has some AoE damage to be dealt I think you'll find Sniper doing more damage in pretty much all cases.

It will probably be difficult to find a slot machine on GTN. I'd rather suggest you ask someone or a guild if they will invite you to their stronghold so you can use their slot machine. You can possibly also use Public Strongholds (look in Stronghold wing on the Republic/Imperial Fleet) to access a slot machine. The drop rate on reputation is decent, the drop rate on Cartel Certificates is extremely low.

The Electrum Onslaught leggings are really close, sadly they dye quite differently from the rest of the gear I'm not sure there's a dye that can make up for the color difference. Instead, I went with the Remnant Yavin Knight's Greaves. They don't look as good as Electrum Onslaught but they fit better in terms of color. http://i.imgur.com/QqcIuws.png The boots are Eradicator, couldn't really find Jedi boots with decent dye setup. I also tried using Remulus Dreypa's boots, looks decent IMO: http://imgur.com/a/ZaLbX#7

Currently they are only on GTN: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=8686531#edit8686531

I'm pretty sure they stopped cycling the packs (apart from the introduction of each pack ofc) after they introduced Bronze+Silver+Gold packs. The idea now is that you either buy the pack when it's first available or try your luck on the Bronze+Silver+Gold packs.

I just don't think they fit the top part of the outfit that well + both the boots and leggings have white stripes that can't be dyed. I'd like to use Advanced Slicer leggings but they don't dye well either

I'd love some suggestions for other leggings + boots I could use on this set: http://imgur.com/a/ZaLbX#7

The game is just really not built for it and I doubt they could do it without putting a ton of work into it. The planets are pretty much like maps in Counter Strike (except much bigger of course), once you watch from above you'd be able to see exactly which parts of the planet Bioware didn't put in. Especially planets like Yavin suffers from this. I'm also uncertain just how well SWTOR can handle high speed movement, flying with the 110% speed our current speeder have would probably feel extremely slow. For now, you can try do what http://ravalation.blogspot.dk/2015/03/swtor-aerial-photography.html did to see the planets from above. Some look really good from above, others much less so.

Or you can go straight to and skip the copypasta that is SWTORStrategies.

I think it's fine as long as it is unique versions rather than entirely unique armor, and then perhaps even have a unique version for each game aspect (Ops, PvP, GSF, Conquest?, Crafting?) so everyone has a shot at getting at least one of the versions. Example: Ops: Blue light effect (current Kell Dragon) PvP: Kell Dragon but with Orange/fire effect GSF: Red effect Conquest: Green effect Crafting: Yellow effect

It'd be nice with an option (e.g. a similarly looking set without the droid) but I wouldn't ask for a complete removal of it.

I think Levelsync is a good idea, however, the content on lower level planets is not that exciting once you've experienced the story there. I've run the heroics a couple times and I find myself having a list over which ones are the fastest rather than which ones I enjoy the most as none of them are fun enough to warrant such a list. Only true on low level areas. 224 gear is still meaningful at lvlcap areas and HM/NiM Operations. If your only goal of doing Ops is to kill planet mobs faster then yes. If you do Ops to have fun and for the challenge, lvlsync doesn't matter. You still need levels to access new, higher level content. Got to love statistics made up on the spot. Still, whatever % it is now it's still an improvement over pre-sync. Yeah but you can just sell them + it's no different from what you got pre-sync. Heroics and most champion mobs can definitely be soloed. As for not being able to solo world bosses I really don't see that as a problem. Health doesn't change as you say. The power/defence on stims is still a boost as far as I can see. The Smuggler/IA and Inq/Consular buffs still have effect on you. Gear definitely matters, on Coruscant I can see a stat increase when swapping from a 188 tank piece to a 192 tank piece. Same health? yep. Other stats? not at all. Considering how rarely you're correct there's not much reason to go on.

If your only goal is to level then sure, it is a lot faster than before. As for getting through the class/planet/etc stories, it definitely matters how long it takes to kill each mob. At this point I'd gladly take a XP reduction per kill/mission if it meant mobs would die faster.

The biggest issue with this change IMO is that everything feels slower rather than more difficult. So much of the new content consists of loot pinatas with ridiculous HP and little to no difficulty and especially the nerf of companion DPS is just making the content slower and more boring.
