Maybe, I'm back after a 3 year break and I love this game again.

You don't need 78s to do dailies or FPs, they are only required to do OPS. Of course you can get them with Ultimate comms (Which you can get from doing level 50 content for your classic OPS weekly). The best crafted pieces are level 72, which you can get with Elite comms. Tell me who exactly is keeping "other people under their thumb"? OPS players get gear they need to progress in OPS, WZ players get gear they need to progress in WZs. If you aren't doing endgame content (OPS, WZs), you shouldn't expect to be receiving gear intended for that content. If you want the gear, you have to play the game.

Of course, if you lose every game it must be your teams being bad, and all of your enemies must be BiS. What else could possibly be causing a 0% win rate?

Well, he said he'd be out of town for 2 days, 3 days ago. Of course, we know they won't post in any threads related to the actual game on Fridays anymore, and they don't post on weekends. I'm betting 2.4 hits before this thread gets a response. Assuming this thread gets a response.

What about Cyan/Blue? I feel like that's a pretty cool blue color. Also, why does it matter that they aren't on the CM? You can craft blue crystals.

We aren't that lucky.

/signed I don't quite agree with the difficulty adjustment on operations (Hardmodes are pretty simple once your team has tried them a few times), but in general this is a really good post outlining problems with the game I would really like to see resolved.

There are already 2 customizations and a third coming in a week. Not everything needs to be on the CM. I love my Czerka HK.

I know this won't fix your problem, but it's the workaround I use. Bind "Max Zoom Out" to something you can reach easily but won't press accidentally, I use Shift + Z. Press it every time you use a speeder or load a new area. Edit: and in your preferences tab, you can set your "Max Zoom Out" to whatever level you would like, and using your regular zoom in/out functions will still move your camera out farther than your max zoom.

Out of curiosity, what is your energy at after that rotation? I've noticed that if I use orbital and exp probe too close together it causes energy issues for me and I have to pop my adrenaline probe. I've been toying with the notion of opening with laze target, instant snipe, followthrough just so I can use followthrough an extra time without resetting it's cooldown. I know it's 5 more energy to open with snipe as opposed to using it after a followthrough, but since followthrough is our best attack and series of shots is going to rest it anyways... I don't know. I also really dislike casting a 2.5 sec ambush, especially if I've already cast orbital and the fight has begun. side note: I'm kind of new to PvE and my progression group hasn't started NiM yet. I'm just here to learn more about my rotation so I can crush the other DPS in parse.

Except bound items, like the speeder we are talking about in this thread. As for selling Aratech speeders, their vendor price is already much higher than you would receive from selling it, and the achievement ones are bound. Selling Aratech speeders boils down to "praying someone dumb enough to buy it has enough credits to pay for the listing".

I just wish it was a different speeder. It's about to become even more difficult to sell Explorer pieces.

You do understand that since ALL players will be receiving this mount (and it will likely be bound) that regardless of what kind of speeder it is, that speeder will become worthless immediately right? And that Aratechs are so monstrously common they can't be sold? Do some level 50 content if you want one that bad.

I'm just looking forward to selling MK-9 kits to all the new 55s. We might even see prices go up for grade 28 crafted gear. This is going to be great. I can see why you guys would be angry about this, but I do feel like I got my $10 worth already, and I don't begrudge other (SUBSCRIBED) players their free upgrade. Really don't care about that title though.

PvP weekly passes don't allow RWZ, you have to sub for that. Be glad the weekly pass allows you to do OPS.

That would be incredible! especially If it doesn't have a level cap increase on it, then I won't have to buy it at all! (I know, some of you guys really like space combat, I'm just not really into star fox). The implication of another paid expansion coming so soon is the only part of this announcement that bothers me, because based on what happened to the level 50 gear after ROTHC came out, I'm really not looking forward to my gear becoming worthless again.

Really? I would argue that anybody who enjoys end game content of any type would want the expansion. Imagine if you had been told ROTHC would be going free, would you have really stuck it out for 5 months farming EC and playing WZs in the 30-54 bracket? Paying for these mini-updates is just a ticket to access new content that comes out, and ROTHC isn't just Makeb.

I don't know what's happening here in your post. You said you were talking about PUGs, so I'll assume you are referring to Story Mode (you should be saving your HM/NiM lockouts for your guild) and I have no idea why you think you need 7 adrenals for that. Stims are 50K/stack on POT5 (5K per, they last 2 hours so you shouldn't be using more than 2 on a raid). Last time I did SM TFB (like a week ago) it paid out close to 200K creds and I spent ~15K on repair bills. Just because your recent attempts have left you operating at a loss doesn't mean everyone else has that problem. Join a better guild so you don't have to PUG OPS. On topic, I think PvP rewards should be higher, if for no other reason than to allow PvPers to augment their gear (which IS expensive, and causes a gear gap in bolster). I know, they could be crafting those augs themselves, but they still need thermal regulators for that, and they aren't that common.

That's because you understand the game better than he does. Guys, you have to attack each target equally to pressure the enemy healer into having to heal everyone, even guarded targets. Healers think they can get off easy and not have to heal guarded targets, prove them wrong, and kill them when they're weak!! You know what else bothers me? When my teammates use stealth to guard nodes. I always tell them not to use stealth because if their opponents see the nodes are guarded they won't come. People need to L2P.

Eh, he wanted lightsaber DPS, and our guild really likes the Mara's offensive cooldown that gives a damage buff to the party (I forget what it's called, I don't have a Mara). I like ranged a lot, but as long as his class is viable and he doesn't mind the extra work that comes with being melee in OPS, I won't try to discourage him.

Now imagine being a player who doesn't have a Marauder or Sniper, who is now being forced to roll one so they can join in progression OPS. Don't claim this doesn't happen, my brother is leveling a Mara to replace his Powertech right now. Just because you weren't picked for a progression team doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't have a somewhat balanced game. Stop standing in the way of progress.

2/10 troll, OP might need a new gimmick...

If you played at launch you would know that consulars were far from godly due to waiting on cast animations, and nobody is asking for godly status. We just want more than sentinels and gunslingers in our raids.

In the case of Sages and Sorcs, where both DPS and survivability are lower than other ranged DPS classes? Yes. Both.

Pretty sure this is the best MMO out right now, and most of my personal gripes about the game are related to the CM (which technically doesn't detract from gameplay) and the engine (which still looks good and I can deal with the lack of large PvP battles). Your article is a year old and doesn't reflect the current game.
