Ill try that. Thank you. Hope that is all it is

Ya the console in my ship; its grayed out.................and I have no quests I can find. I haven't touched the game for 2 years, so have a mailbox full of stuff . Anything in the mail that is supposed to start anything? Otherwise I have no idea how to ungray the quest in my ship

I'm sure this topic has been answered before, but with all the new patches, I am not sure what is still valid on the posts i have been reading. I haven't played for 2 years, so I know a lot has changed, but currently I am trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do. I newly resubscribed so I could try the new 50+ content, but am finding myself quickly frustrated. I finished all my story quests for my different characters up to 50 two years ago, but now that I have re subscribed, I have no idea where or what quests I need to do. I've newly been to Makeb, but there are no quest I can find. Ive looked all over imperial fleet for new quest lines, but cant find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction as of the newest patch for a level 50?

Who is Quinlynne?

I'm saying Ill also take advantage of this. I have had, and will continue to have lots of fun Stealth killing people in cities. Its definitely not "fair", but that's never stopped me. I'm saying it sucks to be in the middle of your city getting killed over an over again. While it is 100% legal to do so right now, if we have the higher population that should come with FTP, the amount of people doing this may make leveling an Alt on those planets not just frustrating, but very difficult. On a PVP server, I don't think its unreasonable to have "Safe" areas even on cross faction planets. If the other faction could constantly attack the fleet and make all the normal things to do on fleet impossible because of constant battling, that would lessen the fun of the game..........then again.......that does sound very promising from a PVP point of view!

No problem with the occasional gank. Ive dont quite a bit of open world "Ganking" myself. Im talking about a lot larger frequency now with a larger population. If you think its "Fair Game" anywhere, fair enough. I just hope when you level an alt, you dont find yourself Killed over and over again by the 10 Invisible 50s sitting next to the quest turn in the middle of your city. This "Could" have happened before...... soon it "Will", and a lot with a lot larger population. I will do it myself actually. Just dont think the players at the other end of my barrel will feel like its "fair". I know I dont when its me being med center camped.

Anyone else concerned with the fact Guards in quest cities cant see invisible characters? Is anyone else concerned that low level quest areas where Imp and republic Characters cross may become a death trap for characters turning in low level quests with the way higher number of players coming into the game soon? I understand PVP servers are the "Wild West", but do you guys think camping quest givers in the middle of a city full of guards is Open world PVP as intended, or griefing? Don't think its bad yet, but I think ill be afraid to level an alt in a few months after we get a bunch of the FTP to 50 if this stays the same.

I know this is a Noob question, but I noticed in the talent trees that cirtin ones say that "ability require 2 lightsabers". If I start using a Virbosword, is there a penalty to my abilities? and DPS loss? Or is it exactly the same as a lightsaber, just a different shell for fun? I have an augmented virboswrod shell I was given, but dont want to spend the crazy cash to pull the purple mods from my lightsaber to see if this would work or not.

ok....that makes sense. So if I have the two buffs, I end up better off because my strength is affected by both. The perfect gear is the +power and +strength. But dont give up strength for power. right?

Im a Lvl 50 Marauder. Ive been crafting and collecting materials to put Augment Slots on all my items. Ive been making the purple might Augments that add strength and endurance. As ive continued getting better gear, ive been noticing something. Prehaps its my imagination, but if somoene who knows could enlighten me, id appriciate it. What I have noticed is if I add items that add power, my Damage on my stat sheet seems to go up more then if I put the same amount of strength into my items (like with augments). I was reading on the stat sheet as to what power added, and it seems takes a lot less power to add the bonus damage then it does for the same amount of strength. I know strength has more effect then just damage, but as a DPS is Power stronger? Am I imagining the difference? Or would it make sense to change out all 14 Slots of my strength Augments to the ones that add +Power and Endurance? Is strength far superior, so stack that always? Or should I stack every bit of power I can get my hands on? (assuming Ive reached the various soft caps of crit, Accu, Surge, ect)

Agree with above. If all of us were a completly self sufficiant island with no need for any other players crafting materials or items, the economy would eventually die and all the shiny stuff you make would not sell on the GTN either, and eventually no one would bother crafting anything. So any sort of cross interaction that forces players to share, and encourage crafting, or trading items is good. Im synthweaving 400, and I dont like that I have to buy the purple slicing items to make the new implants, but Id be eaqually upset if no one was willing to buy the implants I make with those materials. Who knows, the money I gave to that slicer may be used to buy my crafted item.....or maybe the money will end up in your pocket if he buys one of your items. Healthy economy keeps us crafting and playing and buying shiny stuff. But I agree, if you really want to be an island, make an alt who can get those mats for you.......... tho if you reeeally want to be a self sufficiant island that does not need to rely on any other players, I hear KOTOR is a pretty cool single player game.

Im sure its frustrating to you. But this game is about balance between classes. Ive rolled a carnage Mara to 50. The only way to defend against my direct damage is to root me and run, or stun me. If either of these things happen my DPS goes to a resounding "0" DPS. So my job as a Carnage mara is to break stuns and roots, and get back to them ASAP to get my DPS rolling again. That is thier defensive balance against my direct burst damage spec.....stun and root. As anihilation if you get stunned or rooted, what is happening with your DPS? Still rolling. If you get pushed off a platform, if they have dots on them, still rolling. Thats the great benifit to Playing that spec, DOTs are going even if your dead! But in a game of balance, letting there be no way to stop that damage would be a bit OP. How do you get a Anihilation Maras DPS to "0"? Cleanse. This is the balance for the spec. Most people will not be able to avoid the damage, or if they cleanse, they will still get a tick or 2. But overall its the fair defense against a vclass that can hurt you even if they are not around. It would not be fair otherwise. Like a previous poster mentioned, you have to be very quick to stop the damage at all, and by the time the clease is going, DOTS can be reapplied quickly, and the person has to go into defesive mode just to stay alive. So I understand why your frustrated by it, but in the big picture, its still is very powerful, and only the quickest players will be able to avoid the wrath that is an Anihilation Mara.

DAOC Study what made it great, it is in my opinion the best PVP I ever played. I think anyone who has played MMOs in the last 15-20 years would agree it was the best, even if it was not on purpose. I know it may have been an accident, but some of the greatest inventions in history were "Accidental". If you put a SWTOR cover on the exact system they had in DAOC id play non stop. I know many others would follow suit. I know thats not really practical to just copy it, but if the developers studied why it worked so well, and see if it is possible for SWTOR to not reinvent the wheel, but convert a system that DID work, and see if they could eliminate the things in DAOC that was grindy, or unbalanced (which I admit there were those things, but the PROs outweighed the CONS, didn't care) Also, just design all the high level dailies to cross faction. in PVE servers, you could passive agressive take the objectives from the other side while they wait for things to spawn (heh) and for the PVP servers, I would gladly chance questing, and Jumping the Reds I see. I really enjoyed Voss, at the temple where you had both factions cross a lot, and there was and area in Alderaan, where factions needed to quest near each other. More of that would make the game more lively.

Not Quitting! I do understand that the after 50 is supposedly a little dry right now. But thats not a good reason to Rage/quit. I read that 1-50 takes 130-150 hours. The story for the chars i've played so far (one at 47, second at 35) is so great I dont really notice the bugs so much. If the end is so bleak, ill take my time to get there untill it gets some more love (which the devolpers have said they are focusing on right now) I have no doubt thell continually add the things the community are asking for, so Im in no rush to get to 50 with my chars. 1200 Hours for 8 chars story to 50...... not bad for a $60 game, plus annother $120 for the amount of time itll take to lvl 8 chars to 50 with an entertaining story.

I read all 80 pages of the Q & A last week, and half of them this week. Little overkill on the SGR option guys! For SGR option in the game, Im pretty sure they got the message we want it, I think 3/5 of the posts were on SGR!) I think it would be cool too guys...not a hater believe me! They obviously are strategically ignoring the politically controversial issue until they are ready to make a statement on it. Its been 2 week, and the silence is deafening as if the 200+ posts didn't exist! What im trying to say is Id love to see it among the things implemented over time, but lets use the Q & A thread to get answers to quality of life issues, guild questions, legacy system, broken dynamics. Not waste our one question and fill the thread with probably 30 pages of the same question that they probably ignore by now. Anyone agree? or wanna kick me down a flight of stairs?

Is there any plans for a PVP storyline? I like the different types of PVP we have in game, but there seems not a story driven reason to go other the to "PVP". Have you guys conciered a on fleet person (instead of the box) with whom as we complete an predetermined amount of dailys, will furthur a seperate PVP story over a long time arc? Kinda like the Jedi or Sith you interact with as you get and complete flashpoints, but with actual story rewards? With such a story driven game, it would be nice to see it even in a non-traditional place for story.

I keep feeling the disdain of some people for the game when I read different posts on different subjects on the forums. If you don't like the game, that's fine, just quit, and come back if or when you decide its more to your liking. If that's never, that is fine too. I understand if you rage/quit, you have an innate need to be vocal about it, but for goodness sake, leave like a civilized person and stop trolling the forums for weeks after the rage/quit on an account for a character you have no desire to play anymore. If you logic/quit because of all the problems you perceive, same thing. When I've quit different MMO's Ive played over time, I just leave and move on. If I was posting on that MMO's forum weeks after i quit, wouldn't you think there is something wrong with me? Yes yes I know you have a level 50 on your cancelled account on a game you no longer like so feel flaming is somehow your entitled payment for all those wasted hours of your life you can never get back. I'm sorry for your loss, it would just be nicer if you would let the negativity rest in peace.

Im doing Mara Carnage, and its sad that I have to use him (Medium Armor = Squishy melee class) and he not paticularly compelling storywise...that said............: If you have quin out, there is literally no down time. Ive actually found he does such a good job healing me, I have to use my healing charge for him when he takes beatings. His AI is very smart, and hes pretty good about keeping alive even in high stress situations. If you keep him well geared; implants and all, his healing is very impressive. Ive done 4 man heroics with him healing the group! Like any healer, he has a hard time if the group of 4 get rushed, but in general very impressive healing. Ive tried using Jaesa, Vette, and all the other companions actually, but evey time I go back to quin because you literally never have to stop, and if i do wipe, it because i wasnt using my cooldowns correctly, or let him get beat on by too many guys at once. As for silver or gold mobs, never had a problem. Some golds i dont even drop below 90% with his heals. Platinums.....well I dont think they were meant to be Soloed, but Ive killed a few with just quinn......... a bit more of a chance tho, cause depending on how hard they hit, he cant heal quick enough to keep me alive for the super strong ones in a long fight. I actually wish they would give us annother character or two with heal abilities(like jaesa as a healing inquisitor! That'd be pretty nice!) , because I kinda tire of Quinn, and his armor look pretty cheesey at times, but hey.....he is the best mara companion there is (shrug) Dont worry about his DPS, If your healed up, he will use his gun, which if hes geared will do as much white damage as you do. And if you got your rotation going pretty well with your char, most mobs will die almost as quick as if you had a fully geared vette or jaesa out, and again "0" downtime!

every tick of the bleed? or just in general? (every tick would be nice, but maybe OP)

i regret it sometimes. When groups are looking for a tank and im a DPS i go back to when i was teetering between which to pick, back when TOR was new and there was no predisposition to what classes were better tanks then others, and the whole "this class is broken" about citin specs. I sometimes wish I went with the jugg, as it literally was a 50/50 that had me reading both AC description very carefully before I decided. But overall I owned it, and am happy with going Mara. There is no shortage of DPS when going into Flash points, so at those times i wish I was a tank so i dont have to wait 30-45 mins to find one, but the play style of a Mara fits me better then a Jugg, so I dont regret it for long. (plus there are some tank isuues to be fixed with keeping threat, so kinda happy i steered clear of it till it gets better fixed)

i read the sticky guide after the suggestion! Very imformative. Tho still does not 100% answer what procs off Ataru and what does not. But now i have a better idea of what to do after i Massacre! ( i was massacreing after the inital one because i figured it would proc off massacre, and was not sure what ability would work well after that other then annother massacre)

ive seen it mentioned in a bunch of threads, and for sure in the weekly 10 questions the developers answer. i always see it mentioned at least 2 or 3 times in the 80 pages of that. So im sure they are aware of it, just not ready to answer it. We get lots of other gear, so its not an emergency fix they need to implement right away . But i agree, I work so hard to get to LVL 5 dark, and there isnt too much i ask for other then sweet darkside armor!

Ive been carnage a while and got Massacre a few lvls back. Love the animation btw! Massacres game txt is : Strikes the target with both weapons for 640 - 770 weapon damage and automatically triggers an Ataru Form strike. For 6 seconds after using Massacre, your Ataru Form has an extra 30% chance to be triggered. Requires two lightsabers. and Ataru is : Enters an acrobatic lightsaber form, increasing accuracy by 3%. In addition, your successful melee attacks have a 20% chance to trigger a second strike that deals 134 energy damage. This effect cannot occur more than once every 1.5 seconds. Question: So after i do a Massacre....im kinda at a loss as to what abilities are concitered melee attacks. So when I massacre, is the best use of rage to massacre again untill im out of rage? are there melee abilities (i.e. Ravage or smash) that would not be wise to use after a massacre? Or do all of them recieve the 30% chance massacre add for triggering? if anyone knows, let me know. I dont mind massacreing a massacre, but if there is a better way to use it, let me know

now how bout a positive post about the stuff you do like:D
