I'm in the same boat after returning from a year away from the game. I played briefly during my last return, picked up a few levels and quit again unfortunately. This new expansion has me super hyped for the future of the game though and I felt that warranted getting back in to it. I should still have a 53 Sentinel, but I don't know the best spec anymore.

Good morning! After giving FFXIV a good shot and not enjoying the end game, I've decided to sever ties from Eorzea and focus my attention on a different MMO. I played SWTOR through beta and launch with a CE purchased and registered. I sincerely enjoyed my time with SWTOR and have a Jedi Sentinel at 52 (50 up until the first expansion), and I had a good group of friends who played. The constant bugs and broken issues with the end game turned us off however. I've continued to be a subscriber through the transition to F2P and honestly I thought the game was going to go by the wayside. I believe I was thoroughly wrong though, as I've seen consistent updates for the game and two expansions now. I'm happy to see that BioWare and EA have continued to support SWTOR through the departures of BioWare leaders and the F2P transition. At this point I'm thinking about coming back full time. I played the first expansion briefly to level 52 but I was still invested in other MMO's and didn't dedicate myself fully. I'm ready to give SWTOR another chance to win me over full time. I do have a few questions though that I would appreciate any feedback on: 1) I still have a preference towards the Republic. Is there a server that skewers towards them? I don't remember what server I am on, possibly Bastion? 2) How are Jedi Sentinel's currently doing? If things aren't going well would it be worth the time to build a DPS Trooper? Have their been any hints towards possible new classes? 3) How was the last mini-expansion? Is it seeing a healthy amount of play? 4) June appears to be the month for the next major update to the game, however I see another patch with a new quest line and what looks to be new flashpoints coming soon. Any thoughts on those? Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated from the community. Thank you!

Sounds good! http://www.dulfy.com?

Thank you very much for your reply! Watchman was the previous spec that I used so I will definately look in to combat. Is there a website that has a steady stream of updates to fill a new or returning player on the best spec, build, rotations, etc.? I'd like to get down on some research if possible. It sounds like the expansion is worth playing through and this next patch will release some flashpoints which was always a favorite part of the game for me. I'll have to do some re-exploring of my professions to see if what I have is outdated and in need of a change or if I should just expand on what I have. I know gear crafting for Jedi Sentinel's was one of my professions. Anything else I should know other than the new questions I just asked?

Good evening! After taking an extended break pre-expansion, I'm thinking about jumping back in with my Jedi Sentinel. I have certainly invested in to the game, purchasing the Collector's Edition before launch, leveling up to 50, and playing through a bit of the end-game content before being discouraged by the various bugs that seem to have plagued the game. By the second or third raid (don't remember which one), I made the decision to put SWTOR on the back burner but still support it with a subscription. Since that time SWTOR has gone F2P as well as introduced the Rise of the Hutt Cartel expansion. I purchased the expansion in the hopes that I would think about getting back in to the game, and I'm definately getting the itch to. Having retired at level 50 with decent gear at that time, is it too late for me to get back in and be worth anything? Is the new expansion worth it for the story? How are the last few in-game events (which I've unfortunately missed) and the ones coming up? The game certainly seems to be recieving a steadier amount of updates since the shuffling of execs and the transition to F2P. Are Jedi Sentinel's still worthy or are they currently gimped? Any recommendations on a spec for those with Sentinels? I'm sure the abilities and trees have been changed / modified since I retired. Any opinions and advice would be appreciated!

Good evening! After taking a few months off and seeing the upcoming content, my interest in SWTOR has been renewed and I've decided to resub! I started out with the beta for the game and played for roughly 5-6 months with my Jedi Sentinel. With various bugs and what I felt to be a lack of direction from the handlers of the game, I decided to retire myself. However, with new people at the helm, 1.7 now out and an upcoming expansion bringing new story content to the game, I've decided to come back. I'm looking for a weekend raiding guild for either 8 or 16 man Operations, plus the usual daily activity of dailies, PvP, etc. I'm honestly open and willing to go whatever direction the guild is. My previous SWTOR raiding experience is 8 man Eternity Vault and Karagga's Palace. Unfortunately I have not attempted the last two Operations to come out. I still have the Lost Island quest that I'm trying to finish up, although sitting in the LFG tool seems to take an eternity. I live in CST so preferably something that starts anywhere from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. until whenever. Please respond on this message and I'm looking forward to be added to your team!

Getting updates to the CE store is going to happen about as fast as the dance studio that was promised in WoW. In essence, it's not going to happen. Everything that you currently see on the CE store will be left as is. I wouldn't expect any additions at this point.

That looks like a hell of a haul to me!

I've got a couple thousand Cartel Coins waiting for me when I log in. I plan on buying a few upgrades to my ship as well as some emote items. I'm always in to those!

Even with a subscription there are thousands of people flooding the servers to download the game and / or the patch. Please be patient.

A Group Finder Tool was introduced a few months back that seemed to work quite well. I know there are some restrictions on use for F2P players, with Subs being able to use it at will. Content wise a new raid and warzone were introduced, not sure on any new flashpoints. I just resubbed yesterday after leaving at the beginning of Patch 1.3 so I've still got a lot to learn as well.

Good evening, I see that SWTOR is once again generating excitement with the F2P option going live today. After moving away from the game at Patch 1.3, I've decided to resub to check out the new features, Cartel stuff, maybe even HK-51! Either way I'm interested in giving TOR another shot. I felt like this was a great game with a ton of potential left on the table. With that being said, I have a 50 Sentinel that I'm needing some build advice on. Before I left Watchmen seemed to be the preferred PvE dps spec. Is this still the same, or has Focus and Combat been buffed to compete? Any advice on the best builds or even build websites I could check out would be great. Thank you!

Having missed quite a bit of time since Patch 1.3 and now resubbing in to check out the updates, is Watchmen still the preferred spec for PvE?

Bump again. Really??

Bump.
