I find so weird to play a mele dps in a MMO without a skill like that. I'm already level 44 and still I don't have any kind of skill to break or lower threat. I played lots of MMO and even being dps ranged, you always have something, but this way is uselless for example to play with any DPS companion if you are Infiltration.

Hey guys, you are forgetting to tell what level you are and, most important, what spec you are! (infil, balance or tank)

More players in Empire means more level 50 players in Warzones, that was a big balance problem. Now that level 50 players are going to have separate warzones, it will become more balanced, but still there will be more better equipments and highest ranks in the Empire side.

Well, maybe it has nothing to do with LFG tool, WoW community was really immature and that's why I don't want SWTOR to be like WoW, I'm afraid of SWTOR becoming full of teenagers and kids acting like you say :-/

Find Weakness buff? What is that?

I already do. I'm just asking about damage because always there is people with 200-300k damage and I assume they're not playing like dumb just doing damage... But it could be. I always go for objectives, for example in Huttball I love the teamplay and I usually don't do more than 60-70k damage, focusing on CC, shielding, etc. But I was curious about the damage output of Jedi Shadow compared to other classes.

Use Qyzen as tank, but you need to gear him well. I usually get commendations instead of Lockbox and you can use commendations to buy equipment or mods for your companion, if there is nothing really useful for you. Use your "heal yourself and companion" at the beginning of the fight (after using the stun, then stun again) that skill is long enough to last the entire fight and your Qyzen will die before finishing the fight, so it is useful. Try to taunt the mob when your Qyzen is like 20%hp, that way you gain some damage, and use your +50% mele/ranged damage defense. I open fights in stealth, with Shadow Strike, then Force breach. Use your procs propperly for your Project skill (using Double Strike/Clairvoyant Strike you get +damage and -force for that skill). Do Force Breach all the time when it's out of CD, and manage to use as much as posible your Shadow Strike while Qyzen is tanking. Also use your Blackout skill to gain DPS if you have learnt that on your skill tree (if not, you should go for it in order to maximize your dps, specially for pve).

I usually get around 75k+ too, but that's because I try to farm medals being tank mode at first and using protection and taunts, then I switch to full dps. If I go for full dps all the time I get over 100k damage, but yet I find hard to reach even 150k.

Hi, I'm Shadow level 42 (infiltration) and I find impossible to reach 200k damage in PVP. Maybe at level 50 is diffferent? I think my best was something like 150k or so. Sometimes I see Jedi Consulars with 300k damage, but I always think that they must be Jedi Sages...

ARE YOU SERIOUS????? Dude, go watch some real tv series like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad... with a real storyline. Jedi Consular story is the worst I've ever seen in so much time. I'm now level 42 and only since 2-3 levels it started to get a bit of my interest.

+1, totally agree.

This is clearly a big bug: You should be dead, there is no oxygen out there.

7/10 atm. It could be really better, waiting for improvements.

- Mainteinance time for Europe: I just think that it's really disrespectful to ALL Europe players their policy on this matter. Not having separate maintenance timeframe for Europe/USA seems to me like they're not respecting me as a client. - Lazy quests design: I hate that exploiting of revisiting zones/places, sometimes it's SO obvious that they're just exploiting it... Please don't abuse of revisited places on next content patches - Loading times: Hoth? Alderaan? Come on... really? This should be improved or taking care about it for upcoming new planets. - Crafting: Why are you allowed to "choose" between three different crew skills? If you go for one crafting crew skill, you're FORCED to pick the other two related to it, since you can't build high level items if you have any other... Then there is no "suggestion" on your choice, I don't know why even there is a choice :S You should be able to have a free choice on, at least, your third crew skill, being that one non-dependant. If you take, for example, Artifice, you MUST choose Archaeology and Treasure Hunting. I thought you only needed Archaeology for farming needed items for the recipes, and I went for Diplomacy for affection and alignment farming, then I noticed that you are forced to pick Treasure Hunting if you want to make good recipes for Artifice. Then, what's the point of choice?? The only choice you have here is if you don't want to craft and just want to farm items for selling, but if you want to really craft... you have no choice. Artifice MUST go with Archaeology+Treasure Hunting, and I assume that other crafting skills are exactly the same. No choice, no options, no freedom. - Stupid design traveling with your ship to planets: Yeah, I'm talking about unnecesarily walking/zoning through 4 places each time you travel to a planet or you go back to Fleet. (Fleet - Hangar - Ship - Planet hangar - Planet, could be just into: Fleet - Hangar - Ship - Planet) - Activated/deactivated companion skills not being saved. I think it's an issue with only few companions, but as a consular being your main companion Qyzen Fess it's really annoying. (I don't know if it's a bug so I post it here also) - Low limit capacity servers? I think that servers don't allow so much players. I have the impression that population is low and, even in a "Full" server, you play almost the same players in Warzones all the time. Planets usually don't have more than 20 players when server is "Standard" (???) Maybe I'm wrong, but just stating it. - Jedi Consular design: In my oppinion storyline is really bad and consular equipment is the most horrible I've ever seen in a MMORPG. And companions: Really sucks having to play with the stupid same companion during 45 levels. - Guild banks. Oh, and antialiasing... please That's all, thanks for reading.

I like the idea of only having three active at a time. But if you drop lets say slicing and go to biochem and then go back to slicing you should retain your original slicing level imo. Maybe implement a cooldown timer for crafting changes. As for everything else cant say im having any of those issues. Yeah I like it too... but I'm going to explain myself: If you take, for example, Artifice, you MUST choose Archaeology and Treasure Hunting. I thought you only needed Archaeology for farming needed items for the recipes, and I went for Diplomacy for affection and alignment farming, then I noticed that you are forced to pick Treasure Hunting if you want to make good recipes for Artifice.

Man you just bought a beta, like 99% of launching games. Just wait for Bioware to release the "REAL" release, like all wide played games! For example, Blizzard needed 5 months to give SC2 players chat channels after official release... ^^ "We will add this in the future" FTW! PS: Not blaming Bioware, just blaming markets... And that's customers' fault!

Anyone else agree? ^^

I played Imperial Agent a little and his story was nice, but Consular seems like has been made and designed by an idiot, seriously. Now I'm level 41 and maybe NOW, at LEVEL 41, it's beginning to get interesting... Companions also suck, I don't get a decent companion until lvl 44-45, for what? for enjoying it just for 5 levels?? And not to talk about equipment look... Consular design is horrible in every aspect.

I agree with you dude. It sucks. At least Jedi Consular storyline... it really does.

Bump

HAHA this made my day

First of all, I want to say that I really like this game. But there are some stupid things that maybe will make me think on cancelling my account: - No Antialiasing. (??? I still can't understand this) - Warzones bug: You join a warzone, you are kicked out to character selection screen. It happens so many times, really annoying for a 55€ release game with paid subscription. - Forums bug? I don't why, sometimes I'm not able to post threads in forums for a few days. Maybe a ban without an explanation? Maybe a bug? I vote for the 2nd since I didn't receive any e-mail, but I think I'll never know. Only thing I know is that it is very common for me. - Mainteinance time for Europe: I just think that it's really disrespectful to ALL Europe players their policy on this matter. Not having separate maintenance timeframe for Europe/USA seems to me like they're not respecting me as a client. - Lazy quests design: I hate that exploiting of revisiting zones/places, sometimes it's SO obvious that they're just exploiting it... - Loading times: Hoth? Alderaan? Come on... really? - Crafting: Why are you allowed to "choose" between three different crew skills? If you go for one crafting crew skill, you're FORCED to pick the other two related to it, since you can't build high level items if you have any other... Then there is no "suggestion" on your choice, I don't know why even there is a choice :S You should be able to have a free choice on, at least, your third crew skill, being that one non-dependant. - CC animation bug: Yeah, you're playing Warzones and suddenly your character seems to be CC'ed (stunned or something) but it doesn't show any animation after all. You just keep asking yourself why the **** you can't move until you get used to this stupid visual bug. - Stupid design traveling with your ship to planets: Yeah, I'm talking about unnecesarily walking/zoning through 4 places each time you travel to a planet or you go back to Fleet. - Activated/deactivated companion skills not being saved. I think it's an issue with only few companions, but as a consular being your main companion Qyzen Fess it's really annoying. - Low limit capacity servers? I think that servers don't allow so much players. I have the impression that population is low and, even in a "Full" server, you play almost the same players in Warzones all the time. Planets usually don't have more than 20 players when server is "Standard" (???) - Shops Items ordering: It just doesn't work. - Backstab AKA Shadow Strike PVP bugs: You stun someone, then try to do shadow strike, it doesn't work, it doesn't work... suddenly, the stunned player "teleports" like 10 metters away. Whaaaaaaaaat?? - Jedi Consular design: Storyline is really bad. Consular equipment is the most horrible I've ever seen in a MMORPG. And companions: Really sucks having to play with the stupid same companion during 45 levels. I think this is all. Enough for cancelling my subscription? Maybe, I like this game, and I joined it specially to play with some friends of mine, but it depends on how Bioware manage the things these next weeks. Thanks for reading.

C'mon?

Yeah this was a stupid design thinking, like so many others things in this game, although it's a great game it has stupid things like this and many annoying bugs. Other thing I hate is how they exploit revisiting the same zones/places for quests, but well...
