[Paid Server transfers]

Same situation....

[Bio Energy Cell Sample]

Hello,

 

I've been trying to farm up some Bio Energy Cell Samples, but I can't find a good source. They spawn as nodes on Taris, with not-so-great frequency, but I have yet to get any from analyzing "strong" type mobs.

 

Ideally, when farming, I prefer to be killing mobs so that I at least have the chance to get some orange/epic drops.

 

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? I've tried Tatooine, Taris, and a bit of Aleraan.

[Server Transfers]

Would like word from the devs....

 

I rolled on a US server to play with friends, but pvp queues are slow, and it is hard to find groups at the times that I usually play.

 

Any plan to allow transfers from US to EU servers in the future?

[(Spoilers) Issues with a boss mob...]

EDIT: sorry, thought you were talking about the heart of darkness guy. The below applies to that fight.

 

 

 

I struggled with this for a long time. Then I just decided to exploit line of sight.

 

I was full healing too. Forget your companion; they won't do anything this fight. Fight him at the bottom of the steps, and dot him up, or just take pot shots when you can. Stun him when its up and use your melee attacks. Don't try to go toe to toe. When he's casting, get out of line of sight. When your cooldowns are down, just keep kiting him around. It will be a long fight, but easy when you do it this way.

 

[what is your #1 complaint about this game right at this moment?]

The main thing that irritated me while leveling, is how difficult it was to find groups for heroics/flash points.

 

I tried sending tells, I tried asking in general, I checked LFG. The server seems empty to me. I've gone a couple hours without seeing another player character on Voss and later...and my server has a queue! It's probably my fault for leveling too fast, but if I had to list my #1 frustration, this is it.

 

In beta, when it came to group quests, I had the most success by finding people near me, and sending them a tell; this doesn't work if there's nobody around.

[Temple vs Vector for lvling as a healer]

I have no idea how you medics find a DPS companion a better alternative than a tank. It's easy to keep Kaliyo/SCORPIO up while they're tanking, while you keep doing superior DPS yourself. Yes, you still do more DPS yourself than any companion, even as a medic.

 

Worrying about one health bar is better than having to worry about two - at least for me.

 

Whenever I try using Temple (pretty ok geared) - I will usually end up having to spam heal myself cause I got aggro on most of the pack. And while doing so, I need to keep an eye on her as well.

It feels much more chaotic and not faster at all.

 

I just let SCORPIO tank most of the mobs, keeping her up with 2 x Kolto Probe and an odd Surgical Probe, while I run around killing off all the mobs. And faster than Temple can kill without help.

 

I feel the same way. I leveled as a medic, and experimented with the various DPS companions, but I always ended up going back to a tank.

 

The DPS companions would lose agro, and I'd end up having to waste globals putting kolto probe on myself, just for throwing in a backstab. With SCORPIO or Kaliyo, as long as I'm on the same target, I rarely pull agro.

 

Maybe it's my playstyle that works better with a tank though. I didn't really enjoy the whole aoe spam, rest, aoe spam, rest. I preferred to sneak up, sleep dart one, and single target them down. By the end of the pack, (most of the time) I'm at full health (companion too), and full energy by the time I reach the next pack. I'd rather do it this way and kill a bit slower, than have to rest a lot....I hate resting.

[To people who think Kaliyo is uesless]

I've leveled up with Kaliyo almost exclusively, using medic as my main tree (taken low level crit talents in the other trees); I'm at 47 now.

 

I soloed an even level champion mob with 120k hp yesterday, using Kaliyo; it was a long fight, but pretty easy. I just sit back, heal, and use backstab/shiv whenever they are off CD.

 

I've tried using the DPS companions, and it just doesn't work with my spec...I need a tank, and Kaliyo works great.

 

I'm saying all this from the perspective of a medic...I'm not sure how it works if you're leveling as DPS.
