So I've gotten all but one part, the False Emperor is the last I have to do. Can I do that on HM because finding a SM group has been pretty impossible so far.

Always something with the hoods. If only most helmets weren't ugly alone!

Looks like it's time for a new outfit.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. :3

Thank you.

They need to toggle it back on then.

It also seems it's not just that model. In fact, any model that isn't a circlet or revan mask is broken currently as far as light armor goes.

So I logged in today, and my assassin who was wearing the helmet with the battlemind's model and while the hood worked with it yesterday, it no longer does anymore. The only other mask I can really use the is revan one, which I don't particularly fancy using.

Server balance concerns or not, in factioned games, perfect balance is grasping for straws. The fact is, people who put months of work into characters end up on derpy servers that aren't where their friends are. Friends are what make MMOs. And believe it or not, there are people that prefer smaller servers. Not everyone is going to flock to Populated-Server-1 because it's full. Not to mention any good auctioneer will know how to survive in a dead market. Trust me, I've been there. (Also, they could easily fix in in a manner CoX did by making AHs universal across all servers since we have a list of about the same size.) All it takes is patience. Doesn't mean it won't happen. So that's a moot point with me. I've leveled all classes to 50 and played them enough. I cannot say it thrills me that I'm doing it again because I don't want to be on The Bastion when most of my friends are elsewhere. Not opening up transfers won't fix population issues either. Either people will cave and just start anew on a new server where their friends are or they will leave. It's plain as that. The vehement defense of no transfers sounds like it's coming from someone who plays MMOs solo a lot. I'm sorry.

When we say undergeared, we aren't saying oranges or even tionese/recruit (except for Tanking Capable classes who queue as tank when they are DPS). It's people who hop in there with greens, no relics, empty moddable gear. These things happen. No good player enters an HM with three 'semi-modded' pieces. I'm sorry.

Gear already has an ilevel. And when you switch mods in and out, it changes with them. I.E. 140, 124, 136.

You've obviously never healed a Pyro PT in DPS recurit gear queued as a tank in a T2 HM.

Not only that, he gives the distinct impression it's everyone else's fault if this fresh 50 doesn't gear up. I have 4 50s. Every time I hit 50 o a new toon, the first thing I do is use all my comms to get mods from vendors and stick them in my gear and queue up for normals since the gear they drop is still decent. I have the humility and the respect for other players to not rush straight into HMs, let alone T2 HMs and the operations. Why should I rest my success betting on other people's efforts to get me there?

But carrying is only possible to a point. How can you agree to tanks in recruit DPS gear queuing for Operations and HM FPs? I don't care how good they are, gear does matter.

Next time I have a tank with 11k health try and tank HM LI for me, I'll let him know he's having fun and I don't mind. And yes, that actually has happened. I don't know how he had any fun, though. Y'know, due to the fact he couldn't stay alive with full campaign IA Healer and our DPS sorc both trying to keep him alive. That's an odd idea of fun. Also, I like how people get upset at the prospective of having a tool that matched people's gear level. What's wrong with an all fresh 50 group? You can all learn together and benefit each other. You're only happy when you are being carried? It seems like a very strange standpoint. I love helping people through content, but there's a point if you're tanking with under 14k health or dint bother to mod your gear at 50.

We have that problem with Consular gear. Sometimes the full drop pool is all consular.

Yeah my power is low. Crits are generally for 6.2k heals at thsi point. I don't go out of my way to get alacrity. It's never benefitted me. I didn't add my tech power to the list either. Which is why it may seem low.

One thing I'm not really clear on is when I should stop worrying about crit and start worrying about another stat. I've never really seen any definitive answers, and it's not like I'm having problems healing, but I feel like I could optimize my stats better. My current stats, self buffed, are: 2159 Cunning 289 Power (558 Bonus Healing) 349 Crit (38.57%) 351 Surge (76.55%) (Hurr forgot to buff before copying down stats. Fixed)

None. My names are usually pretty original. I even kept my Legacy: Kite, which is unoriginal. Perhaps it's luck. 8D

Pretty much this. Big mounts can stay out of game for all I care. It's to a pont I go to the empty instances of the Fleet so I don't have to deal with trying to find vendors, banks, or GTNs under the 'OMG LOOK AT MY COOL CAR' mounts. Also, WTB Ugnaught mounts.

I don't mind if people are new, bad, or undergeared. It honestly doesn't bother me as a healer, I can usually carry people at this point in the game if they are inexperienced. However, speaking on behalf of a few healers, it's not inexperience that's the issue-- it's people who don't speak up when they've never done something. I don't know why it's so humiliating for some people to just say, "Hey, I've never been here, so just let me know what to do." Then, you get descriptions at a boss and all goes well. But people have all this pride they need to preserve and more often than not, it turns a 30 minute instance into a 60 minute one. For example, I was running a Dungeon Finder D7 HM and the tank had never been there. He spoke up. We explained the fights before each boss and there was not one wipe on any of them. On the flipside, I did a HM FE and two of the people in the group never did it. They tried to hit the tank with HK's missiles, didn't interrupt Malgus, and one even died when Malgus was soloing him. All of that would not have happened if they just spoke up. I refuse to pug KP or EV SM. I just queue with guildies and use the tool for BH comms. Now, another issue is people queuing for roles they actually aren't. If you have 12k health and are in ****** DPS gear, don't queue as tank. It's to a point that I don't even try to waste my time with people like this. If I see someone in the wrong role, recruit gear, or level 48 blues and greens, I'm leaving. You only waste everyone else's time by not doing dailies and gearing through SM versions of FPs.

I was under the impression decent RPers played the game separately from their story. Do people really RP out their class story? I pretty much just treat all CSes as great people somehwere off in the world.

Soooo... if someone in my group dies to something, I have to keep guessing how? Because people are too scared to possibly be held responsible for doing something wrong? How do I know if my teammate died to an ability or just the loldropdead bug? People need to get over themselves. Play with friends and this fear of people judging you won't matter. I don't PuG. I never will, so I never will have to worry about parser spam. And if it happened, I just would put on my 'dont give a ****' face. If you're too lazy to be social and game with people who are of like minds, then stop trying to limit people who want these tools for their core group and legitimate purposes.

I got my 4-set columi bonus in a week from just hard modes. The final bosses drop tokens.

Krel? If your tank never leaves melee, he won't bomb. AoE adds down. His heavy tank hitter can also be avoided.
