for solo pve here is the rotation. 2x CS/double strike project force breach saber strike as needed for force Never use shadow strike unless find weakness procs. never use project with out 2 stacks of circling shadows. thats it. oh open from stealth and yu can run through the rotation twice without needing to work in saber strike. Also when spin kick is availabe opening with that can proc find weakness. I know hes lame but tharan will make leveling pve much easier since he is a healer. even better i did t crit you with a wall of text.

2/31/8 is my build. Rotation: CS x2 Project Force Breach when available Sabe Strike as needed (Usually 2 times) Now the tricky part. Any time find weakness procs use shadow strike. Sometimes its alot and some times its not. Any time you see you are below 50% force, 2 saber strikes should get you to about 80% for the next rotation. my general rule is to toss a saber strike after shadow strike unless you know you can unload project and force breach then pop blackout for fast regen. it takes practice but is fun.

So i decided to guess the time frame of early summer. this year summer is 93 days long from june 20th to september 22nd. to me the obvious division would be early middle and end, or thirds. 1/3 of 93 is 31 so for everyone wanting a date for server mergers/transfer expect them to come some time between june 20th and july 21st. According to Stephen Reid's twitter he is often saying we can expect more official announcements very soon.

I couldnt agree more. They have such an amazing world built, if they could only flesh it out with some dynamic content to give a reason to be on other planets besides the fleet. I would love to see some over land raid mobs, with lockout timers, for people to attack for gear, relics, and crafting mats.

For those concerned with server transfers you should check stephen reids twitter @rockjaw. While he keeps feeding the line of early summer, about 4 weeks from now, he did respond to a post about actually doing controlled mergers instead of free for all transfers. Its not much but he said "Stayed tuned, We are aware." I figured i d share it since most people rather complain then hunt for info. In fact its like my own mmo lol.

So lets list it. Please be constructive with a feature you love, one you hate and one you want to see. Try to skip the obvious things that are coming such as rated war zones and server mergers/ transfer. For what you hate please give an example of what you would like to see or a way to improve it. LOVE I love the voice acting story content. Does every quest need the voice acting, no, but what they have done with the main stories and heroic/flashpoint/Ops is amazingly detailed and immersive. HATE Daily quest grinds. These are old and need to go. For special events that are temporary it is fine, but for the base part of the game it feels very uninspired and is a major turnoff. Don't get me wrong though, when your running flashpoints and ops for dailys and weeklys, There is still a sense of accomplishment since you are helping others get geared up. We have had people leave the game in our guild because they completely burned themselves out on daily quest for Rakkata Implants and Ear Peices. I would much rather see them as one implant for completing EV, one implat for Karagas and the Ear for completing both. We can still have the option to grind dailys for those that dont like ops or flashpoints. WANT I would love to see end game stories for companions. While playing, and most of the people i play with, tend to stick to one companion and you never really get a feel for the others. It would be great if there was a quest line with them to unlock companion assist moves. How awesome would it be to have Qyzen jump in battle for a heavy hit, or Elara Dorne drop a Kolto bomb for a quick heal. The main idea is options. It gives us more options on how we will spend each session.

Attention please attention please. It has come to my attention that we do in fact have the ability in game already for Global LFG chat. Type "/cjoin LFG to join the global channel. Spread the word on you server. Every time you log in it will automaticaly join the channel. You can leave at anytime. BioWare can we please get an anouncement of this in game feature as it seems many do not know about it.

I did listen and again I still have very little info to ask questions. LFG tools and augment slots do absolutly nothing to adress the biggest game issue of dead servers. Even Stephen reid tweeted that the most populated servers are not meeting the dev team expectations. Also there was only a soon as possible disclaimer for rated warzones. come on guys, get your act together. If all 1,3 is some legacy fluff and lfg tool for empty servers then get ready for mass dissapointnent. I get this stuff is not easy to do but you are falling behind games like Rift with one of if not the most iconic IP to date. Im really enjoying the game but its getting harder when the out look is so dismal.

The nice thing about the armor bonus is you can swap out one peice for what ever you want. i swapped my head peice on my shadow. you get 5 peices total and only need 4 for the set bonus. just match the color scheme.

Awesome some news on 1.3 I have so many.... wait i dont have any questions becuase short of LFG tool there has been no word on 1.3 and what it will contain. How can we ask questions when we have nothig to ask about except the same issues of server mergers, rated war zones, and class balance issues? Give us a 1.3 preview so then we can ask the questions you want us to ask like server mergers, rated war zones, and class balance. See what I did there =) Dont get me wrong, my issue with balance is just make sure its done based on team work and not 1v1 QQ.

No offense but your really bad at this game if this is the stuff you need to complete content. Can we get a project to get Game Shark, or even better Game Genie, working in SWTOR? I'm sick of my health bar draining when we miss an interrupt.

Personally I still love the Shadow PVP gear. I think it is the only thing in game that makes me truly feel like a stealth assassin. I hope with their new art direction they make the stalker stuff look more hooded and mysterious and the Survivor more streamline.

I can't speak for everyone but 30-50FPS is pretty good in my book. Also, My computer is specc'ed below yours and my game runs perfectly smooth. For me "horrid" FPS is less than 15 to me, maybe 20 if i had a bad day at work. The thing alot of people tend to forget is that there are so many different components working together in the computer. Different brands with different drivers can cause problems that are only fixed through new hardware. Small glitches in RAM or even the MoBo are damn near undetectable by the average user/ home builder. Apples are so expensive because the OS is built on specific hardware to avoid these types of glitches. Windows is built to work as best as it can with everything. I tend to find this to be the biggest problem with the newest tech compaired to slightly older tech that has had many revisions behind the scenes.

What is coming in 1.3? I have not seen any details nor anything on PTS. What can you do to assure me that some issues besides the LFG tool, are going to be address such as poor repetitive daily grinds, and terrible server population. I really hope early summer is your absolute latest projection date and server mergers are coming in the next few weeks. Also with 1.3 have you guys realized that people don't want a WoW? killer? They want a good game with good replay value. stop chasing their numbers. no one has hit them and no one will. How many games have to die because of this?

Im glad your hanging direction but it doesnt change the fact the we dont like what you have ingame now. My jedi shadow in full columni looks nothing like a jedi assasin. i look like the pope. Honestly if you could change our armor to look like the rakata vendor i would at least feel deadly in game. or give us appearance tabs and i could care less about endgame armor becuase BM armor for shadows looks awesome. at least with the pvp armor i feel like a loner jedi on a mission of his own.

It would be a cool replacement for the daily comendation grind. If they give us like 3 different ones each with a choose your own adventure type sequence. say one is time based, one is light or dark base that takes your alignment into co sideration. Where even though you are dark taking the light is highly to you advantage or vice versa. A third could be like a training center type thing where the further you progress the better your reward.

I stopped reading when the OP said 1-49 should have perfect balance. Ahhhhhhhhhahahahahahahaha. you can balance a level 40 to a level 20 due to the gap in abilities. you just cant do it unless you make all the skills available from the start which woul ruin the game. ideally with cross server pvp you bracket 10-29 and 30-49 since there is a larger pool. this would balance things much better

Although new llanets may be welcomed, lets focus on the planets we have please. I would like to see more open world raid events on planets that we have to give people a reason to get off the fleet. More PVE armor sets stylized to lanets like hoth or tatooine. The pop on most servers is thin as it is lets not spread it any thinner.

One thing i would like to see is more open raids. What i meen is the ability to take different paths to fight different groups of bosses. With the current system its to easy to get maxed out on commendations making boss fights boring time sinks until you get to the last boss of an instance. Also it would be nice to see more special bosses that some times spawn and some times dont, or bosses that spawn based on choices you make in the raid. come on bioware more dynamic and less static content.

Can we PLEASE get a server wide LFG Channel then can be joined or left at any time. The population on most planets is poor at best. Your game encourages replay of other classes and I would love to know if some one was looking for heroic quest on planet x. I could then switch to my alt and, wait for it, actually play content! Your server populations are incredibly demoralizing and this will at least give access to so 50 or so people on the republic side on port nowhere.

While i could never go back to EQ the one aspect i miss was finding a mob that dropped a peice of armor that you wanted. Not to mention that when you got a peice of armor it was actually an accomplishment. I think the biggest dissapointment is how games have just been put on rails, leveling way to easy, and daily grinds.

http://m.kotaku.com/5908402/its-time-to-take-these-old-mmo-games-out-back-and-shoot-them BioWare and MMO fans alike should read this. For me it sums up why games like Vanguard felt so much more alive then themepark wow clones. BioWare dont let SWTOR become another Water World.

While im still subscribed, I have had a steady decline in interest in SWTOR. 1. First and fore most the servers are dead. I understand that you need alot of servers at launch but to not be prepaired for this drop off is unexcuseable. Mergers are needed not just transfers. 2. Daily Comendations. The most uninspired aspect of this game. They are boring, easy, and not fun. The mods are pointless being the recruit armor is still sufficient to run HM until you get full tionese/columi. It would be much more fun to do a quest line that lead you to the level 50 flashpoints to get the relics, implants, and ears. This way i feel like i earned it and not that the game owed me it for mind numbing grinding. 3.Static Enviorment. The game does not feel alive to me. Worlds are very linear, which is a problem in many games. I dont feel like there is an adventurers choice in which worlds you can go to. Also there is no reason to leave the fleet at 50. More dynamic events are needed. imperial or republic invasions. things that encourage PVP on all the planets like monthly or weekly events that reward with faction bonuses. 4.Poor armor art. this Is more a taster thing but as a jedi shadow i do not feel like a stealth assassin and agent of the jedi order. i feel like an idiot. Best way to solve this is and appearance tab. this way i can have the stats and bonuses i worked hard to get and look different from every other person in the game. 5."Fluff"dates. The legacy system is nothing but fluff to me. I will say it does give incentive to play multiple characters ut because of 1-3 its just not fun to do atm. I would like to see events that lead to large updates like how rift did. it was fun and got alot of people into one area for massive pve and pvp. In the end SWTOR feels very cookie cutter to me where the few "unique" things it offers are fluff. The story aspect of the game is very good but I never felt like i was being rewarded for my amazing accomplishments. I hope BioWare looks at these post and realize that almost everyone who has done something constructive are saying the same things. Oh well maybe im just too old for these games.

According to Stephen Reid's twitter, server transfers are coming in 1.3. Can you tell us why you have decided transfers over general server mergers. I understand things like server size and faction balance are major limiting factors. From what I have seen about 60%+ of the servers are light population during EST peak times. I really want this game to succeed but I am not convinced optional transfers are the smart thing to do.

My Shadow PVE gear makes me feel anything but like I'm a stealth jedi agen assassin. In general the Empire seems to have much more appealing gear then the republic. Is there any plans to create better looking armor for the republic side, Jedi Shadows in particular. This brings me to my second question, are there any plans for appearance tabs to give our characters a customized look?
