I can confirm several times on Republic side that orbital strike does nothing to both adds on the right of the boss. While Orbital Strike does work the first time on the adds left of the boss. After reading here and talking to my guildmates (who have alts on Empire side) they confirmed its working on Empire side but not Republic side. Bioware, you need more QA testing on Republic side, copy and paste not working.

The standard behavior for doing Operations on Groupfinder is to premake the group with people from fleet forming a PUG. However, more and more F2P are joining trying to play the game but they are not eligible. What this does is make the Lockout show red but not show who it is, thus cannot queue up or find out who the ineligible player. Lately, I have to kick, check queue, and invite people back because they simply won't say if they're sub, have weekly pass, or neither. My suggestion, allow us to queue but state who is ineligible, OR in the lockout, put a yellow highlight on the character name showing they're ineligible, where red is clearly a lockout. PLEASE do this!

Yes, the x12 Boost last until 3.0 comes out, by then its gone. The only thing that is going to be changed today is all preorder in November will not get early access. Its not a big deal but some people MUST be first in new content . 3.0 comes out on December 2nd, 2014 like they've said the past 2 months now.

It only last a week, which apparently is FOREVER for some people. THORN relic, vaccine is so damn cheap that there is no reason why you don't do it. The most reason those who complain is because they don't want to do anything about it. Not to derail the thread, but thats like not getting the flu shot and complain other people gave you the flu.

Its for this reason I often shy away from GF, because unfortunately it doesn't weed out idiots, just increase the chance of meeting them. This is why I often queue up with guildmate DPSes, and known friends.

Extract is interruptable, absorb is kill tentacle. I guess you haven't done it enough to know it offhand.

I'm certain its due to the fact you can buy this speeder from the Cartel Vendor if you have high enough rep. However, the sell to vendor price is higher than purchase price which is what was fixed. It has nothing to do with the GTN. In other words, people can buy the speeder say 10k credits and sell it back to vendor after refund timer ends for12k, thus netting free 2k credits. This is not intended.

Here is ANOTHER thing you can do to avoid the x12 XP bonus. Don't do class mission for a while, focus on planetary quests, flashpoints, try out a new class, etc. All this will be gone by December 2nd, a little over a month. Your experience being "wrecked" by this is only temporary. Even then, if you wanted to take your time to get to end-game, WHY PRE-ORDER AT ALL??? Sorry, your "complaint" is not valid and you're having buyer's regret for not thinking through what your purchase really mean. Bioware did not ruin your gaming experience by misleading you, you misled yourself. Threads like these, I'm glad it'll be gone in December but sadly, only to replace "WHY DID I COMPLAIN!!! I WANT INSTANT 55 NOW SO I CAN PLAY SoR NOW!" Enjoy what you bought now before you regret complaining about it now, later.

One of the biggest but minor issue that most people don't know regarding aggro management. When you start the fight, the first damage on the target provides a bonus threat modifier. So when the tank starts the fight with his first attack, he get a small bonus to threat. This is why, when Sentinels/Marauders toss their dual lightsaber toss on first strike, mobs often stick on them unless the tank uses AoE taunt. This is a large pet peeve of mine, especially against this DPS class. While Orbital Strike is similar but has a delay effect that tanks can get the bonus before Agent/Smugglers do. TL;DR; DPS should not start the fight, Tanks should.

Think about it this way, BW adds the toggle and then all those who preordered "mistakenly" turns off the bonus Xp and beg Bioware to fix this, etc. Or you should read all the perks and be aware of this temporary bonus. You can EASILY avoid class story quest and do other stuff to play with friends. However, I strongly believe, you made this excuse up as a way to "force Bioware" to cater to you. Toggling the bonus is ridicolous and contrary to what Bioware wants, everybody to play 3.0 when it comes out. So, I'm in opposition of "toggle" because you had 2 years to play the story, and the past year as F2P if you wanted.

Oh no, the server is "up" just not accepting new connections...

To be honest, Revan has gone Jedi way and Sith way, now he going "his" way, which is a mix of both. While he not going to be hellbent on death and destruction, it going to be "necessary evil" for him. You can see how his followers, in Forged Alliance, all behaved, Revan endorsed it. Either way, bad for Sith Empire or The Galactic Republic.

I'm pretty sure the next information announcement will on October 9th for the Cantina Tour in New York. IF they release a tiny bit of information, it'll be a "gift" from Bioware. I do hope they release something this week but its doubtful.

There was a "teaser" on the live stream today, its a unlisted YouTube video and the stream cuts out 10 seconds into the video. Its a teaser but got people rolling their eyes on the cutoff.

When you look at each objectives, you might see an infinity symbol or an x symbol. Infinity means its repeatable and thus the moment you complete the objectives, you can do it again. So it will never say complete, but the points you earned is tallied immediately. Although having a counter showing how many times you have done it would be nice. The x symbol though is a bit annoying, its legacy wide, so if one of your character completes it, none of you alts can do it either. Wished it was one per character instead. Anyway, I had this question asked in my guild many times.

Third Echelon is a fun and social guild with focus on flashpoints, operations and conquest! Good group of players seeking to expand and start a new operation progression group. We have Ventrilio as our choice of voicechat. Our guild peak time is 6pm to 1am PST during most of the week! We seek to expand our playerbase for more opportunities and prepare for patch 3.0! Contact our officers: Boatnectar, Cassandrien, Deralk, Jackstar or post below!

Confirm, I was in Manaan FP and was booted to loading screen. After restarting client, Harbringer is down with connection error 1003.

Thats not a lot of information to go on. Some of the conquest objective are one time only. However, I noticed its legacy wide although your toons get the individual points. For example, crafting Invasion supplies only count once, if you were personally counting more than 1, you only get credit once. Just make sure you're not counting one time objectives to repeatables.

Currently, the only use for Classic Commendations are for Campaign gear, Dread Guard relics, and outdated schematics, Rakata Alphawave inhibitors, etc. I suggest adding crafting mats box, some stronghold decoration related items and so forth. I have nearly 1k Classic Commendation and nothing I really want to spend it on. With increase interest in classic ops and classic daily area, Classic Commendation stockpiles up fast but no real "sink" for it. Please consider adding a sink related to the stronghold update. Thanks!

You can also go to options, Chat, and click the checkbox, show general chat. That is for all your toons.

Read the readme which is the point of the file.

I did groupfinder on HM again but no other quest needing the FP besides the Weekly, it works. So I guess as long you have no other quests inolving that FP, it'll be fine.

I can confirm that doing the Meltdown Lab doesn't give credit for the Weekly Czerka quest if using groupfinder. Just to note, I did the Titan of Industry (SM) first and then HM second with groupfinder both time. I also had the 55 HM quest up too. This may be interfering with credit for the flashpoint. This time I will do groupfinder without any other quest involving the flashpoint. If that doesn't work, I'll manually walk in.
