Same here, at least I can stop googling for a fix knowing it's not on my end. Always something...

No, the only way to truly test this is that all players have to kill the same mob... They are not the same! If they all where the same, with same armor, same HP. Sure. But thats not the case in there.

I think the system used in Guild wars is brilliant, you have lots of skills but can only have 8 active (which then becomes the build). Although I don't think it would work in a game like this - BUT - I do think that less is more

All orange armor have same base stats, thats the whole point with them, you put in armoring mod that determines the armor value etc. So yes. Only difference is that if you are a juggernaut deciding to put on social armors you will have less armor since light armor base is lower then heavy

Lol... yeah, one would think so

What other game do you know of then, where endgame gear look like...I dont have any % ofc but I dare to say that most part want to directly change it into lower lvl slot-able gear And THAT is the problem right there, regardless if they in future give us option to choose freely. I have never played a game, arcade/rpg or mmo where you end up looking less awesome then early game, and enough said. That there is the main issue.

I hear ya, but still, the thing that persist is that your supposed to look bada** at 50 and not progressivly worse and end up hearing "x Moo, hows it going cowman" You get the drift... Aestethic: "YES" when you get your first piece of matching set in the start of the game... then find yourself looking more and more out of place, to finally end up being the clown of everything. Normally its the other way around, you start looking... well, undergeared to progress into awesome end game gear = What the hell happened?

I wanna know this too, Is Stalker the set to go? Or do you need alacrity for madness?

I dont like it, but I still play it from time to time, usually only getting dailies done. That means that I have played it, gotten 3 unique rewards alltogether and I know enough that the reward system was the most annoying thing (lol, besides getting stunned and knocked 10min out of 15). However since last patch its finally what it should've been from the start, to get gear I mean (tokens so you can actually buy your set). What I was thinking when I wrote that? Thought it would keep trolls away from writing "so go get pvp gear then and look good" which isn't the point of the tread. It's about pve gear. But yeah.... I might just edit that line, it is apparantly confusing as is

No, since patch it's gimped and useless, it cost to much, IF we have full force you might benefit if you just plan to run away, but you can no longer switch in combat OR have any use of it once switched

Incase you missed it... assassins have paper armor aswell, and since last patch they rendered switching to dark ward useless (cost 100 force, we have 110 with skillpoint) and they also removed the Induction buff that means we cant really afford to use shock while in dark ward... hipp hipp faceplant. And to top this off, compare it to marauders, they have medium armor and the leap, sure we got stealth but you cant use it often and it slows you down. We have sprint... 2sec, i'd trade sprint for leap/charge (whatever) anyday! So, we are a melee class with light armor, that does less damage then marauders that has more armor. Am I missing something? The nerf we got was really not needed and just pushed us back down in terms of survivability

Mech starfish with cow head...

Sure, textures are not the best... but the real problem is that you look cool in the start of the game and then end up looking like a clown. Instead of the usual curve when you get nicer and nicer looking gear, and the endgame gear looks best and something you wanna wear.

Flawed logic If you sell a stack - do you sell 1 or the whole stack... Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me Human nature seams to be to always try and blame others for what they do (or can do, but shouldnt) Like the guy who walks in to mcdonalds, buy a coffee, burns himself and then complains that there is no warning or anything to let him know that the coffee is infact hot, so ofc he has to sue them so others dont make the same mistake. *roll eyes* AND BESIDES... why complain, if you R/E something in the first place you do it so you can get a new recipe, right? And by doing them in stacks you have a higher chance... so what is the problem really?

Right... no. I always save up stacks of 5 or 10 and it gives alot bigger chance of getting me the next tier recipe, and it always gives me more than just "1" material when it fails.

This! Dont blame bioware because you are stupid, realize that it is YOUR fault for not learning/paying attention. People sure love to blame others for their own mistakes. You only have yourself to blame, we dont need a mechanic for this, it's working just fine

That would really be awesome!!! Thanks for that info, guess we finally have use for the credits besides repairbills then hehe. However, I still really think they should change the looks of raid gear!

I'm not sure, cant remember, think it is

Well the problem is: You only have mod and enhancement to remove, armormod is in the armor piece itself Even if you could remove all mods you still have the problem with set bonuses

My point is, in all games I've played - you end up looking cool and awesome at endgame. This is the opposite, and it boggles my mind

At around lvl 6 you have your first "set" of matching looks, Black robe and top, and it looks amazing and just how I wanted and expected this class to look later on as well. Boy was I wrong. Well, I've been 50 for quite some time now (assassin) with tionese/columni gear and recently rolled a soon to be sorc and cant ignore the fact that I will end up looking worse then a lvl 6 character The pve gear looks HORRIBLE bioware, especially compared to lower lvl items which look far more evil and sinister. Columi etc looks ridiculous, like a clown that felt creative going to a masquerade dressed as a... something something aircraft in cloth. And to make it all worse is that the end pve gear looks the same with the small difference here and there and ofc the "color"... wow, creative. This is the same for other classes aswell, but the other classes look far nicer/cooler than inquisitors. I can only wish you read this bioware Please do something, I have not heard a single inquisitor saying that their gear looks cool. Not one. Here's a pic to prove my point, which do you think looks best? http://genetic-design.net/pics/swtor_inq.jpg Ps. Now I got my "cow hat" and it really doesnt help ps again. Yeah, our pvp gear looks nicer, but it doesn't help those that wanna raid

lol... Why? So you can play "same" char as in wow? You should be able to figure this out yourself by reading char description and/or looking at the classes skilltrees etc, there are sites for this. What you need to ask yourself is what role you like to play. You like melee dps or ranged dps? You like healing? You like to tank? It's not brain surgery... Or is it simply that wow-players need help and cant do anything by themselves?

We need a debuff. Today, been playing for over 6h PvP, alot of games someone with good gear see that his team was not full champion and leaves. And ive seen others do it to, they inspect their team and decides we will loose... or ofc the ones that leave when opposing team scores. STOP PLAYING PVP, because you are ruining it for anyone who joined and want a fight, not some match handed to them. Gear is not all in this game, tactics out-beat gear! And just assume your teammates dont have full gear makes them incapable pvpers is just immensely stupid. The leavers are the winners in most cases because rest of your teammates are being weakened for a short time, and if its a cascade of leavers its just game over and all other who are unfortunate to enter one of the ongoing matches are just getting served. So yes, we do need a debuff, and it should be accountbased. They just need to figure out a way so it doesnt suffer those that d/c.

And you fail to realise that this time is when most ppl get home from their jobs and have time to play... This is BULLSITH! They placed it so that most part of EU cant play at all, the only time on the day they actually can. Starting to hate this company

This type of control is standard in mmorpgs, deal with it
