It's because pilots are popular, so if you don't have a high social level you arent popular enough to be one of "them".

I really like how involved in the storyline the writing is for the class questing. I also like being able to have "relationships" of varying types with my companions and other npcs as it gives them personality above and beyond a typical pet or questgiver mechanic. Okay I guess I'm a sucker for good stories. Also I see a potential for the end game raiding content. I don't see it currently as quite "there" yet, but I can see it's more or less a work in progress coming up with it and fine tuning it and can appreciate that, and still have fun with it despite the hardest boss being the bug bosses (again, work in progress). I also admit that I have more patience than the average person and don't expect everyone to have that same level of patience with something they're paying for.

IMO they should have waited til the newer and better stuff was coming out before (or at the same time) as turning stuff to grind for into handouts. Then I could see both sides being happy. The hardcores would still have newer and special stuff to grind and show off their achievements with (since current achievements should be what matters most to them) and people that just want the pretty shines at worst have to wait a little longer for them, as well as have the opportunity to somewhat gear up enough to decide to become more hardcore and participate in current end-game content without an endless grind to get to that point.

I like my healy Op because it's a different feel from what I'm used to with the mana using healing type mechanic, my guild was going to need healers, and I wanted to play something different to see how well I can do with what I knew would be an "underdog" class. For the record, my main MMO experience was being a hunter in WoW, so getting used to the energy mechanic to use my abilities in this game wasn't a huge stretch, and is honestly less annoying than that hunter experience. At low energy levels I still feel I have options even in bad situations, saving Adrenaline Probe strictly for situations that are intense and my energy level is low, keeping Stim Boost up at all times, and when the raid is high enough in health I use Diagnostic Scan to gradually get their health higher and to recover my energy, and reapply Kolto Probes to get TA stacks in the meantime in case someone almost drops like a rock so I can have the ability to spam Surgical Probe until one of the other healers gets a big heal off (or if I'm alone spam SP and do the very rare Kolto Infusion). Unfortunately I don't do much PvP so I can't personally comment on the state of Ops healers in Pvp, however in the operations environment (and some hardmode flashpoints) it is a challenge to heal but doable. Currently we can't compete with the other healer classes for burst but we can provide that extra needed healing in a pinch so the healing team in general can be more successful, and have even kept half our 16 man raid up solo when the other healers (1 sorc, 1 bh, and the other ops healer) dropped in intense situations before, so I know it can be done... just much more stressfully than the other classes at times and not with as much of a punch. I can see why many people would have a problem healing like this, and don't like that some raids won't take ops healers because of the rep they now have from nerfs.

Actually you don't see a lot of us because we went heals and we're stealthing. Yes, stealthing healies. Levelled with a stealthing tank. Was fun. I'm just glad our 16 man raiding guild hasn't figured out by the performance of myself and the other Operative healer that we're theoretically gimpy and are carried by the Sorc and the BH healers. Actually they appreciate that we can spam Surgical Probe when a target is under 30% while they charge up their uber heals to get the target to a reasonable amount of health. I do wonder why they get creeped out by us constantly cackling at everyone behind the lines. I mean half the raid is Sith Inquisitor. They're the creepy ones I say!

Saw someone with the name I'm and with the legacy name Unstoppable: I'm Unstoppable

I like Veldir as well. I also like Sarus

Lol yes I'm aware "scum" is a pretty derogatory word. I just thought it was funny how often it's used in the dialogue in the game then realizing that they did that in the movies too. Granted I think I've seen it more on my Imperial toons than my Republic ones but I've seen it Republic side as well. My guild now has a side joke of taking a drink every time the word "scum" is used in game (and not by one of us but by an npc or in the common chat channels). Okay I think one of us isn't joking and that's why she keeps getting drunk before raid :-p

Anyone else notice that everyone and everything in the game according to npcs are "scum"? You could almost make a drinking game out of it.

Anticipation

I think some of us (including myself) got spoiled by the great storylines behind the class questing and got to lvl 50 (personally I think Vector needs to be a better husband and send me more pretties). There's only so many alts I'll be able to keep having that kind of fun with before I get bored myself, especially levelling with another person and seeing their class quests too. I'm hoping once the bugs are worked out that end-game content ends up more worth it (I'd rather gear up to fight bosses and not bugs), and personally I plan to give Bioware time to do so. Considering the scale they are trying to accomplish in a game with an already established and rich story behind it (which also got me to play WoW btw, even though Star Wars is much more established as a story), I have to say they did a pretty decent job so far. It's just enough for me to expect more in the future from Bioware where this game is concerned.

The Sith think of love as a weakness or nothing more than sexual. The Jedi think love leads you away from a pieceful mindset and leads to passion (which "is a lie") and is therefore bad. Conclusion: love in Star Wars is evil and not only not to be celebrated but to be crushed like a bug. Oh and I think they're fixing broken stuff before adding even more new stuff than they already do.

Dance studio.

Had this happen to our guild master and all his alts. We just had him gquit and when I reinvited his characters again it worked fine. Now the question is will it STAY fine...
