Eyestrain? Headaches? No. I have not experienced any of those things. The ability animations are a lot brighter than the GCD flash so I have to wonder sometimes.... Anyway, I kinda like the new indicator, but!, yes there is a but, the abilities that are available are too dark now. I have a hard time telling which ones are ready. I have to admit, the clock-like GCD animation in wow was pretty good, I could use that. Perhaps what should have been adjusted to really POP are the abilities that are off CD and ready to use, that would have made it easier to tell what is ready to use and what isn't. Kinda like the spellflash addon that WoW had. That told you what to use next, but it was also a great indicator of what was off CD, instead of going from dark to less dark. Btw...am I going to quit because of a mistake like this? Absolutely not, I can see great things ahead for this game and community, and to blow up like this? It boggles the mind. Remember...this is only a game...A great game to be sure, but still ONLY a game. PS. if you want to ragequit over things like this, be my guest...less server lag for me

Thanks for the replies. Ok, Republic side for me. I've done all the hardmode FP's, and yeah, the bonus on Kaon is probably one of the hardest. My guild cleared normal EV last week, and I was wondering where we should head to next. I assumes kragga's but a friend told me that normal kragga's is harder than hardmode EV. So that's what brought me here. I'm not taking bugs/glitches into consideration for difficuly level. I see from your list that we should do Kragga's normal, then EV hard.

Is there an official list, that shows which flashpoints are harder than others, and which operations are harder than other. for example, should my guild be doing normal EV first? or normal Kraggas? Or are all normal operations the same difficulty level, and the only difference is the loot dropped?

I'm sorry if this has been answered before, I did not read all of the pages in this thread. I'm 400 artifice and I'm wondering about these items, listed at Darthhaters http://db.darthhater.com/items/modifications/color_crystal/ They show a lot of crystals with the tier 2 names in them. I realize that the Magenta ones are currently the only special crystals that are verifiable in game. I'm wondering if its possible to RE the yellow and orange recipes, since they start out as blue, into some of these schematics. I also realize that these items may not be in game as of yet. I'm working on getting enough mats to try RE'ing some of them, but the corusca gems are hard to get.

Since it doesn't look like anyone else has said this... Thank you GeorgZoeller for the clue.

well, I do always have a companion out, usually my healer companion, since I am so squishy. I thought this game should be doable solo. BTW FYI several guildies who DO HAVE TANK SPEC also were unable to solo the story line after mid 30's. I do know how to use interrupts thank you very much, I do know how to use my rotation. If it was Bioware's intention that people HAVE to group in order to finish the high level stories, then why did they make it so you can't advance your stories together when you do have help? Also FYI IF I WANTED TO PLAY A TANK, I VERY WELL WOULD HAVE ROLLED A TANK I'm trying to offer a bit of helpful suggestions to balance out and make the story line for my class a bit more enjoyable. It's very frustrating to die over and over and have extremely expensive repair bills. I'm not asking to be buffed like a tank, I never suggested that, I only suggested a small buff to help alleviate some of the damage that I DO take to help increase the survivability of my class.

Hi, i have a level 50 Jedi Sentinel, and it's just a tad squishy. I kept it geared and modded up as much as possible while leveling, but after 35 or so, the difficulty ramped up a lot. If you could put a passive dodge or armor buff just a little to help with survivability, it wuld do wonders for the class. I felt that I did great dps, but some of the storyline quests were impossible to do without help.

Artifice is still viable in end game, BUT only because of ONE thing....you cannot buy ANY color crystals from any vendor. That's it. You can buy orange weapons with color crystals in them and rip them out to put in your gear, but you dont always get the best stats.

So, why are a lot of the ingame words, in Aurebesh and Galactic Basic, mirrored. as in the letter are reading from right to left and they are backwards?

So far, I've only seen ONE schematic myself, and I saw it in the GTN for a focus

Far as I can tell so far, there are none, and I'm 400/400/400 Art/Arch/TH

Hi, read this thread, I think that it will answer your questions, it is a very in-depth guide to the various shadow specs, and includes companions, and crew skills, gearing etc.. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=458
