Blah blah blah, don't like it - don't play it. FYI, its just as hard to hit a lagger as it is for a lagger to hit someone. You people jump around my screen like an epileptic clown, making it a waste of my time to even try to shoot you down.

Evasion here. I am a high mobility ship, I die to burst damage when someone lands a series of lucky shots, not to sustained damage like a low-mobility ship might (e.g. strike fighter), for that reason damage reduction and max health are useless to me because I would rather roll a die to avoid a lucky shot entirely, than simply take a marginally reduced amount of damage from it.

Most importantly, remember that there is no upside down in space. Shift your mentality

I dunno why you would rage quit, you can farm more requisition with a bad team than you can with a good team. You can also (arguably) have more fun on a bad team than on a good team because that way you have all the targets you could wish for. I've been on both sides of the equation and when your team stomps the other team, it becomes a very boring game. Obviously, equal teams is optimal, but if that doesn't happen, its better to be on a losing team than on a winning team, especially since your reqs are tied to your in-game performance rather than your team's victory or loss. You can literally fly sat to sat and farm defensive turrets for massive requsition if all else fails.

You get reqs based on points taken, defended, or turrets destroyed, so whichever ship enables you to do that faster will get you reqs faster. Scouts allow you to get from point A to B to C very quickly, so you can always be at whatever node is getting assaulted. If you pack weapons with 100% armor pen, you can also 1 or 2-shot turrets and generate reqs very quickly that way. However, if your combat mostly revolves around 1 or 2 nodes, there is no reason why you can't earn reqs just as fast with a strike fighter or a gunship by hugging and defending 1 node.

It would be humiliating to lose to a single dps on a healer, I would imagine. I don't know about sorcs and mercs, but if they don't drop my operative on an opening salvo, they don't drop him at all.

You can queue as a tank in vengeance spec (and a shield off-hand). The flashpoints aren't challenging enough to a point where your spec would make a significant difference pre-50, provided you have a semi-competent healer. Granted, I've only tanked up to Foundry so far since my jugg isn't 40 yet, but I haven't ran into any significant issues tanking in veng spec.

Invisibility Mode my tank alt, incidentally, is Invincibility Mode

Incorrect. You always took damage if you leapt while in the air (at least starting on Jan 15th, which is when I first did it on a marauder). You didn't use to take damage if you leapt from a standing start (e.g. you can leap from a platform to a node on Soa and not take damage, but if you leap to the node after jumping, you take damage). I am not sure if the latter is changed now, haven't logged on in ages.

Logged in to take stuff out of my mail to avoid losing it when my account expires in a few days. [Jung Ma server] Queued for pvp, got huttball within 5 minutes, rolled face on my keyboard, won huttball [63 sorc in full BM], realized all my friends were offline, game is still void of anything interesting, and realized I don't really give a **** about my items in the mail because I don't intend on ever coming back. Logged off.

but going 28 in madness means wasting a ton of points in buffing affliction / CD damage (which are borderline useless for the damage purposes anyway when the other team has decent healers), and death field, which loses out to CL substantially when you have more than 3 targets. 23/18 ftw

It wouldn't solve much. I would mute you if there was an ingame voice chat, and we'd be back at square zero, with you yelling into nothingness, and me annoyed that I had to mute someone.

If you have full champ, you can clear hardmode operations fairly effortlessly. Assuming your other 7 aren't ******* anyway.

As far as lag goes, TERA has no lag with huge numbers on screen on my machine ($1250 rig, custom built, self-assembly). SWTOR ilum dips to 20 fps with 100ish on screen. Must be engine differences.

I know, right? I'm gonna resub for more of this:

It indicates that there is a problem with a purple jabbawock. If there are 1000s of such posts, Bioware knows theres a significant problem with a jabbawock, and there is a good chance they already either know what the problem is, or one of these 1000s posts had a detailed description.

Many other ways to stop that from happening.

The car drives - no question. Those features are about as optional as windows, safety bags, and dashboards are on a car. You can drive without all those too, but your experience won't be too pleasant. Raiding content in this game was done on an exceptionally amateur level, and people have beaten it in spite of the horrible interface, lack of any metrics, and lack of customization options. To continue the car analogy, its like taking a complete beater for a spin around a parking lot. Sure you can do it, but are you gonna enjoy it?

Perhaps. One could hope that they add some diversity to their storylines. Maybe new blood (if they hire anyone) will inject the much-needed novelty

You can't do this in raids, but you can do this in many flashpoints. I still have flashbacks from spawn zerging Boarding Party HM in beta.

Or they could create a mechanic that stops people from entering boss room when a fight is in progress. E.g. a crate moves to block the way, force field goes up, entrance caves-in, etc. That would require actual creativity though. As it is, the only people punished in your above example are those with slow computers. Creating additional angst and frustration amongst the playerbase.

I can drive a car with no dashboard...for a while, but I can't drive a car with no dashboard, no wipers, no windshield, no safety bags, no chair upholstery, and a broken sound system.

Because its pointless. Because on older computers it causes a lot of a delay. Because people used to crash on zone-in a lot. Because it makes no sense lorewise. How the hell do I get back to the fleet after I die on Malgus's station and more importantly how do I fly back out there? Ditto for Foundry, ditto for Black Talon when you're boarding the enemy ship, etc. [edit] before the rabid fan-boys tell me it makes no sense to get revived period, I agree. But at least it makes more sense that you would get revived at a -local- healer droid, rather than one that is many many light years away.

Combat log

Unless they fixed something in the last month (haven't really logged on), the immunity is only to stuns and long-term CC. The immunity does not apply to a) force charge root b) sorc root from top tier madness spell and similar rooting effects and c) blind from the shield collapsing (not sure about this one). Also not sure whether or not it works on knockback root since it makes people immune to knockbacks, but I am not sure if it would make them immune to the 2ndary effects (the root).
