  1. But, but, but NGE.... But... Mythic But... Warzones But... PVP But... Raids Awe man, you took all my straws...
  2. But you are assuming things we just don't know for sure yet. Maybe that Juggernaut beat up a bounty hunter and took his wristlowjackamator.
  3. I dont think the game is dead, but I know I am having a completely different game experience than others I listen to on Podcasts or friends who play on larger servers. The population difference is a stark contrast and really takes away from the game. The most Ive seen on Ilum, counting both sides is 16.... What kind of meaningful PVP can come from that? Thats just a warzone in a giant map. I hear about these epic 100 person fights on the bridges, and I go there ingame and see nothing but snow. The issue is, on Character Creation day for me, 12/25/11, I looked over the list of PVE servers, EST time zone, and the server I selected was marked as Recommended. Not low, medium or high, but recommended. Now its a dead server and I would never recommend anyone go there. TLDR: Low server population skews my answer. Game might be good but from my view point its just horrible, beyond the story which is actually quite good.
  4. I am on a low population server and doing anything endgame is neigh impossible. Even queue in 50 Warzones can take 3 hours or more at peak times or no matches at all happen that day. The population at 50 might be more healthy if people didn't immediately reroll an alt and abandon what they had grown. But that comes down to people might play only for story, hit the end of that book and pick up a new one, so I cant blame them for that. I did it too with a Smuggler and then Jedi Knight. Axial Park is fun and I love the guys there but there just isn't enough of them. I unsubscribed until I can transfer off or merges come. I might stay if I could queue warzones cross server to at least let me PVP every night.
  5. Dont be afraid to Force Camo and run up to them. You can possition behind their cover and then leap to them. If you have that option.
  6. Macros are just script written ingame to do one or more functions in a specific order or to activate under specific conditions. Typically smarter people than I write them, I just copy and utilize them to fit my playstyle. And typically a macro gives you a little icon to put on your hotbar and you click it just the same as any other ability. Only this one functions as I stated above. We currently don’t have access to macros, unless you use some fancy keyboard or external program keybinding, so the point is moot. As for gameplay, good keybinds and ability coordination on those keys makes this class fun and much easier. You set something up, utilize it a few dozen times out in true combat and it becomes second nature quickly. Below are my keybinds, their purpose is to keep things organize in groups, and keep my left hand tight to the left side of the keyboard. Left hand keybinds are for direct activation, anything else I typically just mouseclick and have it organized on the left/right bars to make the process simple and easy in the heat of combat 1: Strike 2: Slash 3: Master Strike 4: Blade Storm 5: Dispatch T: Force Leap F: Force Sweep G: Pacify V: Force Kick X: Force Camo Shift-1: Overload Saber Shift-2: Zealous Strike Shift-3: Cauterize Shift-4: Merciless Slash Shift-5: Awe Shift-T: Rebuke Shift-F: Cyclone Slash Shift-G: Saber Ward Shift-V: Force Stasis Mouse Center button: Speeder Mouse button 4: Out of combat heal, Inspiration I think Mouse button 5: CC Break ability The main strategy for this layout is keys subject to specific activities that I may string together are grouped together or their shift-modified so they are quickly used by just hitting shift and the same key again. If I want to AOE, I hit F, then Shift F until I am out of focus. My starter rotation is T, Shift-1, Shift-2, Shift-3, Shift-4, 3, 2, 1 depending on focus and then repeat. Its pretty fluid to me now, and quick variations I can take depending on how much focus I have. G, Shift-G, Shift-T, and X are for defensive cooldowns. And V/Shift-V are for interrupts/Holds which also interrupt, good for PVP I don’t use Shift X because its too hard to reach back and I can misfire. I have a lot bound to other keys, 6, 7, 8, 9, and so on, everything has a place, but its organize for fast activation.
  7. Do exactly what Keja said above. You can do these and be a button masher if you bind your keys to a comfortably close setting, and possibly macros in the future will simplify some things. Regarding soloability, you said your 27, you get a healing companion soon that will vastly increase your soloability. If you like sentinel now, you will love it then...
  8. This ^^ When I see two targets, I check both too see which was the weaker mob or healer, select that one, and then leap, but it leaps to the previously selected target... To add insult to that injury you then have to select a new target or reposition because I'm still targeting the weak mob either not facing him or to far away to engage what I wanted too.
  9. Your playing your cooldowns wrong if you fail to survive through any attack with the 4 defensive cooldowns, even if only 4-6 seconds each... You can dish so much out in that time while the enemy is just hamstrung. As for Alacrity, I would imaging that you want your DOTs to tick slower so you could potentially keep 3 stacks of overload saber active instead of it dropping off before its cooldown is restored. Just an assumption.
  10. Sentinel feels squishy for a while, but has a large list of defensive cooldowns as you level making anything easy if you time it right. Sentinel is slow until you gain access to a healing companion, which is as early as 12 if you want to take C2-N2. Watchmen Sentinel spec alone gets the following Jump (Force Leap) Dash (Transendance) Hold/stun (Force Stasis) Slow (Leg Slash) Many Stun/interrupts (Force Leap, Force Stasis, Force Kick, Awe, Blade Storm but not for pvp, 4 defense cool downs (Force Camo Talent, Pacify, Rebuke, Saber Ward) 2 DOTS (Cauterize, Overload Saber, both beastly) Sentinel is not easy but it is very rewarding because you know when you win its was earned. We have a very big toolbox so it can be complex but rewarding.
  11. Holy cow it was totally a goof. They are fighting each other at close quarters, not, I repeat Not gazing into each others eyes in any sensual manor.
  12. One of the cinematic also shows the Trooper and Sith embracing for a little kiss before that pesky bomb gets in the way. Where is that game play element in the game?
  13. Wow, as a republic player that has never seen the Imperial fleet, I am just depressed. Our fleet feels like garbage now and it truly is dead hallways populated with nothing. I like trees too you know. Real, fake or light-generated.
  14. Its an unfair advantage to either side it should get fixed. Ive lost several games down to the last tick, 0-5 or 0-10 where that one extra turret shot just beat us. Why should anyone get an advantage? Symmetrical maps should be symmetrical.
  15. Thanks for the heads up. I will be keeping an eagle eye out for this because it felt bugged. Looking forward to Hoth. I know its all ice, but I like it. Quesh was better than I realized too, I lgot a full level up 37-38 from completing the one zone quest, one quest at the main town and my class quest, and got enough comms for 2 modable droid cores for T7.
