The easiest fix would be non-modifiable purple droid armour added to the crafting tables and world drops and non-modifiable purples droid armours added to the daily , columni, rakata and Black hole commendation merchants. I don't use C2-N2 very much at all but I'm a completionist so I'd like him on full affection and full rakata.

I liked the epic weapon in EQ1, done at the appropriate level to the quests they took in excess of 6 months of questing to complete including multiple raid drops. I just hope that it won't be a weapon that someone can get hold of in a week and instead of being an ambitious target that only 1 in 10 people have it turns into the next requirement to join a group.

I stopped playing EQ1 back in 2007 but it is or was a very different game to WoW system wise at least, the skill trees in this game are pure WoW. If they used the EQ system of having far more skills than you could slot in one go they could do away completely with the need for dual spec as you could simply swap out your skill do do different jobs within your class.

I simply averaged the level spread on the planets (approximately 5) and the fact that Bioware maintains we have 200 hours of quests in game to take us from 1 to 50, which means 20 hours of quests (again approximately) per 5 level spread. This would include planetary arc and class quest combined and is an average.

Yes it's an aim based tech ability.

It's not that people are out of story already, they are out of story on at least their 1st character. The biggest issue is that there was an announcement of a level cap increase and as story is the levelling experience level cap increase should come hand in hand with new story content.

But even then you still had to run 3 zones between druid rings or wizard spires to get where you were going, I'm not against shortening the travel times but I'm against doing away with travelling. I mean the OP is complaining about travelling times to fleet (it takes about 3 minutes without a fleetpass active) when the post 50 game is all about insta ports from the warzone queue, the group finder etc. Even on a guild run operation you can put your 8 man in the group finder and get ported to the operation.

I understand what you say and am of the same opinion, I've levelled each of my characters using the class stories, they have set a precedence. What am I expected to do grind dailies to level the next 5 levels when they raise the cap? In my opinion (and yes it is only my opinion) 5 level cap increase equals an entire planetary arc, and a 20 hour long class story addition, it's what Bioware started with, it's their own precedent, it's their promise of no grinding for XP so I expect it to be upheld.

But for a lot of people it is the only thing that sets this game apart from other game's levelling experiences, if they raise the cap then they need to add to the class story to level as they have set that as a precedence.

If we are having to wait that long then I hope that they are adding another 200 hours per class, I'm not sure that I'll that happy having to wait that length of time for something that I have completed in a week.

If there are too many people in zone doing the Black hole dailies, see if there are other shards open with less people in them and switch shard.

It's time MMOs went back to being RPGMMOs and stopped turning everything into queues and waiting rooms with teleports in instances, it's like playing Quake Rocket Arena Death Matches. You can't have both convenience and vibrant populated worlds as populated worlds require people to travel to them, it's either or.

You can remap it under the hotkey options, just like any other hotkey. You can't place it on a button though as it has no icon.

Write a ticket with the server name, character name, date and time of your helm's deletion and you will get it back. Bioware have an official policy of crediting 3 items per month if you made a mistake or encountered a bug. I've spent commendations on a weapon that I couldn't use (I stupidly didn't see the tag on it it "offhand" and thought it was a mainhand weapon). They deleted it and credited me the coms within 20 minutes. In all instances and problem like the 2 that you describe the 1st thing you do is submit a ticket and if anyone is verbally abusive to you, screenshot it and submit a ticket.

Agreed, PvP tends to be won simply by the team that communicates best, and the advantage goes to the team with the best gear.

The force powers are part of your class or advanced class, they have nothing to do with your alignment.

The only issue I ever got on my Dell XPS17 was over heating, it now sits on a coolmaster cooling fan and I have absolutely no issues with it.

I see several issues here; on one side people don't want an under geared player joining their HM Op due to having to carry them or being unable to complete it, but there are also situations where a group of friends wishes to queue and are just looking for a few extra players with the aim to get an under geared friend some equipment which means you can't bar anyone from the queues. I already find it ridiculous that you have to wait for level 50 to do an 8 man operation as there are no multi-group Ops under level and a level 49 in purples is quite capable of running a story mode Op. The other issue with gearscore is that there are level 49 mods and enhancements with higher stats than some of the rakata mods and enhancements so the gearscore would never be accurate.

I do have it on a "Cool master" cooling stand though.

There is no reason that that laptop should have a problem with this game, I run it on an i7 1.73 GHz laptop with only 4GB RAM and a GForce GT445M mobile Graphics card and get 60 FPS with no lag at all (I do have an 120GBS internet connection though).

The other question that needs thinking about is if a new class is created in an expansion will it's story begin at chapter 1 or will it have a story that starts at chapter 3 on the time line (not level wise).

Only as a split from an existing smuggler base or AC.

To be honest as base classes I miss true pet classes (be it droid controller types or Hut Beast trainers), yes I know everyone gets a companion, but I miss having abilities specifically tailored to pet use and being able to use a pet in Ops, Warzones and Flashpoints (without using a character slot up). The other thing that I expect them to do is add new advanced classes for existing base classes and/or split existing advanced classes into 2 new classes at higher levels to make them even more role specific.

Teras Kasi should be implemented as no more than a combat stance for Jedi and Sith.

I stopped doing them ages ago, I'm equipping my alts through the purple HM flashpoints (the level 51 bind on equip drops) and supplementing with PvP commendation armour, then straight onto storymode Ops.
