As others have said, allow players to select how many levels down from the current level sync they want to be on any given planet. Planet syncs you to 34? Allow players to select up to (some arbitrary number) 8 levels down from 34, and the game will reduce your stats to that level. Players would also get more experience from quests and mobs if they complete them at nerfed levels. I would love the opportunity to play the class stories and have the end bosses give me a significant challenge, like the vibe from 1.0.

Star Forge is down again.. or whatever. Stuck on splash screen.. meaning that even if Star Forge is down, I can't log onto Satele shan to play

Huh, I have toons on other servers, can't even get to the server select. interesting observation though

Seems my client is stuck on the loading splash screen. One of my friends is too, so I'm hoping it's not just me. Anyone else getting this issue?

This is the old Slow Mercy tactical. Except the Slow Mercy tactical also had Death Field spreading Force Slow and 15% extra damage from Force Storm on Deathmark targets.
