I see where you are coming from & generally if it's your 1st time through a FP I have no issue with you watching the cut scenes. But you have to see it from the other side too. I have probably been through that FP 20+ times & DO NOT want to watch the cut scenes that many times. At this point I am there to get in, get my crap & get out as quickly as possible. Just let people know that it's your 1st time through & I think they will mostly be ok, but once you have seen them, please please please hit that spacebar so we can get done with this & I can get on to farming something else.

I'm sure some people would like it, but I for one would not buy it.

not gonna lie, the app on my Droid X is a bit buggy & will crash at times, but it never fails to work after a force close & a reset. I am getting a new Samsung phone tomorrow & I am hoping that the security key app plays better with the newer operating system.

Absolutely, you get them at a fraction of the price. Would you rather pay $14,000 credits for a 35 stack of Thermoplast flux or the $2,100 that I paid when I sent one of my homies on a crafting mission for them? I only buy those mats off the vendor if i have to make something NOW & I can't wait for a mission to finish.

I dunno man, I make good use of the hour long cool down fleet passes that the security dude sells.

As a Jedi Knight you have one companion with a +5 synthweaving crit & another with a +5 biochem crit. Since you already have scavenging somewhat leveled I would recommend dropping artifice & treasure hunting & picking up synthweaving & underworld trading. I personally just dropped fully leveled Artifice, Treasure Hunting & Archaeology to take Biochem, Bio Analysis & Diplomacy because I was unhappy with how useless I felt artifice would be with the 1.3 patch.

it takes you 6 months to run 3 daily quests? You should really train sprint or your riding skills.

I really wish someone would sticky this post. http://www.tankingtor.com/2012/02/guides-shield-versus-defense.html This has the best breakdown for the math behind the diminishing returns on the various defensive stats for your guardian that I have been able to find on the web.

Oddly enough, that is exactly what you get with a vanguard. despite guns, they are not ranged tanks.

Your current stats are really shield heavy & defense light. Check this post: http://www.tankingtor.com/2012/02/guides-shield-versus-defense.html you have to remember that the attack rolls are not done like WoW where it is one roll against your combined defense totals. SWTOR uses a 2 roll attack system. roll 1 is their hit vs your defense, shield & absorb have nothing to do with this 1st roll. Your 2nd roll is their crit chance vs your shield/absorb chance to see if the hit is a regular hit, a partially absorbed hit or a crit. http://taugrim.com/2012/01/19/understanding-swtors-avoidance-and-mitigation-mechanics-for-tanks-in-pvp/ I was statted fairly close to how you are now & when I read that 1st post about the 2ndary stat distribution & set myself up accordingly, my healers indicated to me that I became much less squishy overnight. Keep in mind this is all PvE related. I do not PvP on my Guardian, so I have no idea how to advise you on how to make that better.

You also have the option through Daily Quests on Ilum & Balmorra to pick up epic armoring & mods for any orange gear that you have lying around. If you completely deck yourself out in "daily epics" this way you should be fine to tank hard mode flash points & at least story mode ops.

Quoted for truth.

god he's such an ******e. thanks for the info though, I was not aware of that.

It's been quite a few years since I read them, but I thought I remembered there being some wookie jedi running around in some of the star wars books I read in high school. Seeing as how most of the lore in this game seems to come from old Dark Horse tales of the jedi comics, I don't see why they couldn't add something that was already established in the extended universe of star wars.

They are absolutely optional. Name me some content that requires that you have either a specific datacron to access or all of the datacrons to access. If you are a min/maxer it may FEEL like it is not optional to you, but I assure you that it is.

I'ma be honest, if I can't get the character names that I want/already have, I will be a little bummed. but you know what, you have 2 options: 1) keep the name you love and adore & play on a server with 5 other people total or 2) Suck it up, pick a new name & actually be able to enjoy all the fun group content in the game. those are your options pick one..........I sure as hell know which one I am going to pick.

lol my server is lucky to see 30 people on the fleet during peek times. I run ops with my guild on my main, but it is virtually impossible to get one for my alt or even to run Hard Mode Flash Points on my main & he is a tank. Nothing like sitting on the fleet with a tank & 2 dps in a group & spending an hour and forty five minutes posting in chat that all you need is a healer for a quick Tarl V hard mode. Personally I can't wait for server transfers & a LFG tool. Wish that junk was cross server though.

P.S. droppin this crap profession for biochem this weekend.

I'll trade you the one slightly decent thing that artifice can craft, color crystals, for armoring mods, mod mods, droid parts & ship upgrades any day of the week & twice on Sunday. I would have been nice to at least have been bought dinner before me & my fellow artificers got ****ed.

That is a spectacular post for guardians. I'd just like to add that I have been playing around with my numbers based on this post & currently it is quite difficult to get the "perfect" split on stats because of our gear itemization. Next patch when we can have augments on almost every slot it will be a lot easier to "lean" your defensive stats in the direction that they need to go.

My Knight is pretty much exclusively for PvE & I do not spec into Command

As someone who spent a LARGE amount of time in the AH to the point where the game couldn't actually calculate how many auctions I had posted or money I made (when you try to view that stat it shows negative 2 billion & change) this post here is 100% accurate. 1 out of every 100 auctions was a bid winner. Not being able to bid is not the problem with the Galactic Market. A completely piss poor interface is the problem with the Galactic Market, not to mention the 50 auction limit. I've literally had hundreds of auctions up at that same time in WoW. Dunno what they were thinking with the Market, but they really need to give that thing some love.

they have also said multiple times that they are going to add a hood up/hood down option for jedi. Hang in there. it's a comin.

I leveled as a tank, it's slow going, but once you get doc you are virtually unstoppable.
