It is pure luck - i know of a valor 60 character who couldnt get two pieces of his gear to drop before he was onto battlemaster items and two 35ish valor characters who got their full set. They got lucky the other guy got unlucky. Its all based on luck, which is why its a terrible system made even worse by the fact you can get dupes.

80% gear/20% skill is closer to the truth - maybe take 30% off of gear and add class at 30% so; 50% gear/30% class/20% skill

No they will whine about not getting their battlemaster gear then. Roll on the patch so it can stop. The champion system could still do with fixing as people in hand picked battlemaster gear will be destroying those in random champion gear.

50% that means your still alive. the CDs arguement works for the smuggler/opp as well. if his are on CD and he left you at 50% he is dead.

It may look a lot at lower level, hell even upto level 22 i thought i would never have enough but by the time i got to 25 i had more than enough without doing anything special

Is there anyway to get the operation window to show the correct hp of people in a warzone? Atm mine dont reflect the actual hp of the person at all, in anyway. cant find any setting to actually make them work. Group window works fine though. Hoping theres some sort of work around as this is a terrible bug to leave in the game.

I had the same problem, landed on Coruscant but the quest text didnt advanced. I dropped the quest in a cantina on Coruscant and Corso went active and i could pick the quest again, then it worked correctly

The fight is only hard if you do it the wrong way. Its very easy done the right way. Maybe some other clue to the player like the jedi saying "ill handle the sith you take the fat guy". The jedi CCing the crime lord probably also doesnt help as most people seeing him held go for the sith first. I dont know about anyone else, but while i dont want every quest to be some sort of massive logic puzzle, the odd one that isnt spamming buttons without thinking is nice.
