Not really. Scoundrel. whatever that gives you better stats/dmg.

Gunslingers definitely die more than all other classes because it's very unforgiving. There's little room for mistake because you will wind up dead before you have the time to salvage the situation. So be mentally prepared to die more if you want to play this class. That being said, it's a really exciting class when you are familiar with it. A tip to get you started, KNOW all the skills and run them through in the head. You need to use them at the right time to keep you alive.

Then you haven't heard the gunslinger's side of the story. GS supposedly sacrificed healing at the expense of doing more damage but the damage really isn't that amazing. And the class is like a glass cannon but the least mobile, so if you make aany mistake in pvp, you will end up like a free kill to all classes out there. People always wonder why do gunslingers die so much even in PVE if they come from other classes. So the awesome defense ability that you've heard is nothing but a hyperbole if you are not familiar with the class. Scoundrel on the other hand, is a much more forgiving class than GS. Moral of the story: continue with what you have now. Every class has its own weaknesses but when you play it long enough, you will know how to handle them.

It's only 10 levels that will take you like 2 hours if you skipped the dialogues.

I can't give you any real # if you want proof, but I always stack crit over power because we are the class that lives on burst damage. Our survivability basically depends on how fast we take down the enemy. (GS is like glass cannon and less mobile compared to other classes because of the shield) So while consistent damage is preferred for other classes, I think we should push for the HIGHEST POSSIBLE damage when it comes to stats.

I always love crafting in MMORPGs but crafting in TOR IS pretty pointless (may be with the exception of bio). It doesn't have to provide 'the best' stuffs but the crafted items SHOULD be needed/required, along WITH QUEST REWARDS. (I'm not gonna explain how it's done here, just take a look at other MMOs) You can bluff yourself by telling yourself that it comes with a great sense of achievement/satisfaction or whatever you want to label it to craft your own gear but with that much trouble, people wind up feeling stupid after the first 10 levels. There's a huge problem with the crafting system if crafted items are redundant.

I think the OP has made it pretty clear that no one needs BW to discuss/announce how they are doing it but just acknowledge the fact that it's present and they are AWARE of it.

Frankly speaking, I've felt it only at level 30. If BW thinks they could sustain a MMORPG with just flashy full voiceover and a decent story then they are very mistaken. Voiceover and the story are the pretty wrapper, what goes on inside is way more important.

I'm on my first month after the free month but I'm gonna cancel it after this month is up. So many basic MMORPG features are missing and they start to come back and bite me after the honeymoon period is over. I may come back later when there are more contents.

It's not only in PVP, I've seen it on level 20+ planets.

I have no problem with crafted gear not being the best but I have a huge problem with it being not needed at all. Why do you put crafting in-game when the stuffs I made are not even needed by myself?

1. Terrible, terrible customer service. (This game has the worst CS that I've ever encountered, including F2P games.) 2. Crafting is pointless yet tedious. (Quest rewards and commendations leave no room for crafting) 3. There's nothing else to do in-game other than killing things. (we SHOULD have crafting as the other fun thing to do but sadly, it's not fun.) - even F2P games have things like decorate your own house, collecting things etc basically things that don't involve kill x to get y.

The thing that really makes absolute no sense here is how the hell do we STAND UP when we are rooted?!?!? :confused: Healers can still heal when they are rooted. Hello, we are already self-rooted EVERYTIME we want to do something. Do you root yourself in order to use your skills???:rolleyes:

SS with Risha. Dear lord you burn through things fast.

Definitely turn off his throw. It makes everything more manageable. My problem with him is not his throw but the fact that he's coded as a melee tank but doesn't have the skills to last like a melee tank.

Some bugs are tolerable, some bugs are game-breaking even though they are all called bugs. And there's this thing called the tipping point. Even the most harmless looking bugs, if they are present in-game everywhere and can be felt all the time, will turn the most fun game in the world to a frustrating experience. And BW is really pushing that limit for quite a number of people. At the end of the day, fanboys/haters or not, we all want to have a pleasant experience with this game, especially if it costs money.

Merging servers now is gonna make EA's stock take another plunge. They won't do it for all sorts of reasons no matter how empty some servers are.

I doubt it will. The guild that I'm in loves the Republic side story but we don't PVP.

You've brought up an interesting point. I think it's only logical when there's some kind of reward and punishment system for open world PVP. After all, you guys are in the same faction aren't you?

Totally agree.

He means you have to play it to be good at it. The rest will start falling into place as you play your character.

1. Kick people in the groin with great sound effects 2. Sexy armors 3. Toss grenades and watch mobs fly

If you can't get them from missions or crew skill vendor, you can only go back to the places you got them or buy from GTN.

Nice try trolling. LOL. I can join you starting with 'we should let all characters crawl instead of run too so that every player can take a great look at every pixel of the ground and appreciate the shading'

Care to reveal which server you are on?
