Trooper act 3

while that is true, i'd wager a large number of the people who rate consular last (not all) were turned off by act 1 (which was a snoozefest). Acts 2 and 3 for the consular were very good

My Male trooper would have a new look havoc squad! 1.Dorne- I like when they play hard to get! and that accent? /swoon 2.M1-4X- A patriotic death machine to handle the "Imp Scum" 3.Akaavi Spaar- because I think a crazy mandalorian is the perfect thing for havoc squad! I could see her riding 4X into battle 4. LT Pierce- ****** who likes to fight 5A. Nadia Grell- Havoc squad needs a lightsaber! And of course the real reason is I need a squadmate to constantly tell me how amazing I am. So pretty much Havoc squad cheerleader 5B. Jonas Balkor.... BECAUSE HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SQUADMATE! (so hes not really eligible for this discussion :/ )

JONAS BALKOR! holy crap that guy was awesome. Would make a great romance option too! and seriously... havoc squad needs a male human, I mean its just me, Elara and a bunch of scary aliens! I NEED A BRO!

lol I remember that, so awesome... Also on Corellia you can flirt wih a smuggler whos flying troops in and she shoots you down with something along the lines of "Not a chance bucket head". At least Elara finally came around

2 lines from the game I really liked on my trooper. "stab me in the back and ill shoot you in the face!" or "I'm not just some thug, im a heavily armed thug!"

While im only 24 atm I feel that my IA plays as a "relatively" good guy. A loyal son of the empire who does everything in his power to protect imperial citizens and troops. He absolutely hates the sith though, sees them as a detriment to the empire and hates that they are above the law. Ive run into plenty of imperial officers etc like the LT at the balmora droid factory or the "Duchess" on dramond kaas that seem to be as noble/honorable as any republic officer I met. So far ive found ive been able to be merciful without it always leading to torture, my character kills only when there is a reason (No mustache twirling and maniacal laughter on this guy). I feel my character is going t stick to his guns/morals but over time become jaded with the Sith who just to seem to care for your average joe imperial.

I actually really liked Elara Dorne on my trooper as I played him Renegade/DS... I can understand how some might find it annoying but I LOVED how Dorne would be shocked/flabergasted by most of my decisions. That and getting embarrassed by flirts. I kinda liked the whole "opposites attract" vibe... Plus I really liked how the Dorne/Trooper romance seemed, I dont know, normal? Like Dorne came across as a mature/intelligent woman... not like some teenager "COUGH" Jedi LI's "COUGH" This I found to be a real contrast to the 2 Jedi romanceables for males (I actually rerolled my Jedis to females because of this). The 2 Jedi's nail their students... which is... weird in itself, its worse that Kira and Nadia seem more like teenagers personality wise (Not sure about lore wise). Kinda struck me as The Jedi's taking advantage of younger women whom they have a position of authority over. PedoJedi anyone? Havent tried a smuggler yet but I'm hoping shes written more like you know... a woman, like Dorne, rather then a teenager , like Kira/Nadia

this is so true... Endgame gear b4 ToA WAS NOT HARD TO GET. At end game EVERYONE was able to get a reasonable template. Gear was a non factor... THAT WAS GOOD. 3 factions.... How has NOONE else figured out that 3 factions is really the only way to balance open world pvp? One side overpopulated? No biggy, other 2 factions focus on the strong guy. People CARED about holding relics... I remember when relic raids were happening every open and guild/alliance chat channel was calling everyone to arms... people WANTED to defend. characters getting stronger through realm abilities instead of gear... was BRILLIANT. Why games like WoW decided to make gear trump skill I dont know... The BEST most expensive daoc armor templates werent that much better then a generic crafted template. those are the big things. next is stuff that likely only held interest to gamers who were used to games not being faceroll easy. (I miss it) HARD INTERRUPTS... you could not (except for a long CD quickcast) cast with people attacking you... ranged players had to prekite... classes had ROLES, a stealther was not good in group combat. A healer was NOT meant to solo. The ability for good players to shine. 20-25 nobs could beat the best 8 players in this game handily... In daoc a skilled group could take on MASSIVE amounts of uncoordinated opponents. sooo much that I miss. Getting all that into a game is too much to ask... but the 1st company that launches a pvp game with 3 factions will succeed!

I like my 50 gunnery commando... but I can think of few classes that would be more boring to record

Am I the only one who felt Tavus should have been the big bad throughout the story?

no it isnt...

no, its just Bioware being pathetically lazy. Server forums are needed, makes it easier to find guilds, organize server events... interact with your server... I mean a simple list of guilds would be amazing

I just dont see why Bioware doesent give servers with imbalances a 10% bonus to XP, valor and commendations. surely that would get many a person to reroll republic

and it turned out to be the opposite, how glorious.

I am also terrified by Biowares decisions to reward empire players for choosing the zerg faction... More same faction BGs and changing ilum to a system that heavily favors the faction that can field more players is distressing. ATM republic is getting some rerolls by those tired of huttball... more same faction WZ's eliminates this issue. THere really isnt a reason to roll republic after next patch as there will be no pvp disadvantages for playing imperials while there are huge pve bonuses (easier grouping) What incentive is there to play republic?

you are likely fighting champion geared 50s as a low level... so its likely not you. wait till the 50 bracket then evaluate your performance

I dunno... after finishing the trooper line we distinctly lacked choices that mattered at the end :/

theres a difference in light side and dark side for the trooper class quest arc? I didnt notice one... seemed like my choices were entirely irrelevant.

assault puts out more damage, but its weak, easily healed through damage. THe spec lacks proper on demand burst. it comes down to, go assault if you want to pad your stats, go Gunnery if you actually want to kill people fast. drawback of course is playing gunnery will bore even the best of us to tears over time

RNG is random I opened 6 bags (200 bag, weekly wins and my 2 dailies) while in a WZ today... AND GOT NOTHING. its completely random, you ONLY notice when people get something, people looting commendations with no loot dont show up, so YOU only see successes. but nice theory you guys have... just dont strap on your tinfoil hats too tight neckbeards

While I dont like it... I seriously DONT think its an exploit. THe scoundrel/OP is simply turning on an ability, they arent hacking, they arent going through walls, they are turning on a legitimate ability. Until Bioware comes out and says "EXPLOITZ!!!" I wil view it as a legitimate tactic

in pvp... assault is great for padding stats, Gunnery kills people

lvl 50 rank 44 Commando with most of my champ gear... i would say vanguard if you wanna soak up damage while still dishing out damage. Commando is fun but I think a vanguard would be more enjoyable, unless you like healing. we are very fragile against geared opponents and our heals are an out of combat thing. Our mobility is non existent as gunnery, excellent damage with Grav round being borderline too strong, commando isnt something you can play as a lone wolf if your opponents are even slightly competent. Assault... well it can put up good damage numbers but most of it is dots that are easily healed through and it has ammo issues... if you like stat padding, assault is the ticket as a commando. both are fun, but I think a DPS commandos playstyle gets... boring very easily. Go vanguard unless you enjoy healing

"Serendipity"... why? Because the word SOUNDS awesome and has an AWESOME meaning!
