My main is a Bounty Hunter so I had to choose Empire and I am full light side. I am invested in my BH so I tend to RP in the convos and decisions. Though I'm a BH, I follow the BH code loosly. Nothin' personal, it's my job. when it comes down to the "Kill" or "Don't Kill" options, I usually always pick "don't kill" and freeze them in carbonite. If a person I'm working for confronts me and questions my actions.. I won't allow it and will pick a dark side answer (even if I don't want the dark side points). Basicly my Bounty Hunter sticks to the code and gets the job done while still having some compassion in the final say.

Agreed. off-topic.. the mech worrior online game looks awesome. Iused to play the games long ago. it is a ftp mmo when it launches, and i think they made a good decision. Games that have a fan base following (like MW) are hard to gain new intrested people when you have to buy the game and pay monthly at first.

the golden years are over, for sure man. sad but true. The few mmos released from 5 years ago and back that are still running are a dying breed. WoW was good, and I played the first few years, but saw the change in players. Now I'm not saying it started there, but WoW did pull a huge ammount of new players into MMOs. I agree with the pvp as well and know where you're comming from. I'm on a pvp server, but only because the open world pvp makes it more intresting, I'm a pve player overall. PvP is something I've seen grow into problem for MMOs. I see a lot of people only playing for the PvP, and that's fine, but the mix of the intense pvpers and the players there for everything is distaster waiting to happen. PvP and PvE seem to be getting pulled apart when it used to be a good mix for everyone to enjoy. Now the publishers are pressured to settle the two so everyone is happy, and that's hard to imagine. Yeah it seems like the PvP got turned up to overkill, with all the console players joining MMOs wanting some of that online action from fps. I also relized that the term "MMO" used more than "MMORPG". Grant that it's just a shorter term to use, I think the MMO is losing the RPG in the long run. I hardly ever see a person RPing anymore, and those that do get cut off in their own server. Which brings me to the point.. MMORPGs getting dissected and put into seperate servers, groups, ect.. it does stop the RPers from getting harassed by those that don't RP and that's understandable, but the fact we have to do that these days paints a not so community based picture. Also to answer the LotRO Housing question. Yes it's still instanced towns and not houses. I love being able to display items from bosses outside in my yard and inside my house to show what I've accomplished. It's nice to sit back and see all the hard work you've done displayed, plus some items you can interact with is awesome, such as the orc armor display you can use it and wear it for about 10-15min.

I'm a major Star Wars fan, as in... yes I collect Star Wars everything, and yes I made my own Mandalorian armor set for Cons and such (actually have 2 sets). So just saying where i'm comming from here in my opinions. I played SWG from its beta to lights out so I went through all that like most others, but I would rather go back to SWG if it came back (it's not, except EMUs). Why I feel that way, In my opinion is the new gen of players.. OK, basicly the whole player community has changed in MMOs and has changed everything with it. New generation of players expect content now and no excuses for downtime and so on. The fourms are turning into a place to complain. Back in the day there was no term as a "troll", and all the new kids think it's the coolest thing ever to be one and get people upset and angry, the whole in-game community has change and not in a good way. Someone asks a question in chat and gets 5 or 6 ******** responces that don't help. I avoid the station when I would of used to love to go there and chat. I think most people that are trying to compair SWG to SWtOR are actually missing that sence of community and fun social gameplay. I've been back playing LotRO and it is mindblowing how different the people are there. They help you out, answer questions, chat about whatever without getting trolled, the whole thing is just more inviting and a better gaming experiance. IMO player housing and such pull people into the game more, it's rewarding to see the work and effort you have done and others can see it as well. It adds another deeper layer of gameplay. Yeah sure most new MMO players don't see the point, but I'm sure more people do than don't. Point is that the new gen of players mixed with the older gen is screwy. MMOs are about community, I don't care what anyone says, that's what an MMO is. It's just frustrating to me, but I want to get my opinion out there. Also I'm positive I'll get a troll or two here posting some junk that ammuses them, but that's the way it is now.. and it sucks.. -Kei'lyk (Keil)

Most of my Surge comes from Surge Augments I've added, I keep thinking what I need is more power and/or crit rating. I can't seem to find what to swap out since my stats so far seem to be avarage. I'm wondering if I should swap out some End since I'm sitting at 21,306 Unbuffed. I feel like I'm lacking something somewhere, I'm getting 900-970ish dps on mox just a while ago. It's gotta be a stat, I tried alot of different rotations and keep ending up short. I think it comes down to just losing one stat to gain another. I shouldn't be coming up short with everything augmented...

I'm Arsenal Build http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/bounty_hunter/mercenary/#::f15efef2e13fe2f2e3f3df7ef6 I am having problems with my DPS in Ops/Raids. I only PvE as well, so I don't need anything to help with PvP. My stats are: (These stats are all unbuffed and no stims added) Aim - 1938 End - 1860 Power - 364 Surge Rating- 264 Crit Rating - 312 Crit Mult - 74.11% Crit Chance - 31.52% Acc - 101.10% Dmg (Pri) - 739-968 Dmg (sec) - 80-149 Tech Acc - 111.10% Tech Power - 1224 I have Full Rakata, Campaign Leggings and black hole ear, 1 implant and gloves, rakata pistols. Everything is modded mk-6 purples aim and surge. Durring Denova HM I'm 4 on MOX around 900 or so dps (almost 1k with overheating alot) and up against two marauders and a sorc. I'm not sure what is going on and what could I do to ramp up my dps? Also my Rotations are usually: Tracer x3, unload, heatseeker, tracer x2, railshot (I'll switch it up sometimes). Also I throw in Thermal Sensor Override + Power Surge with a Fusion Missile. Using heatseeker, railshot, and rapid shots when I have to run around and can't stand in one spot. Using my relic surge and crit rating 165 for 30sec whenever i can. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it Alot. Thank you in advance.
