This is so beautifully written that I had to repost it again.

I am sorry you were attacked because of your sexuality,but let me give you an advice, don't give your personal information to strangers, there is no reason a bunch of strangers (general chat/guild chat) should know your sexual orientation, I think you should get to know people and trust them before you reveal any personal information, people like to use your personal information to hurt you, at least that is one rule of thumb I follow and it has worked for me just fine.

lol, I was not correcting you, I was just explaining how could it be similar to a "flight simulator".

Other than the Take off and Landing it pretty much is, when you are in cruise flight, even the climb and descent (80% of the flight time) is dull and boring as hell, the airplane is keeping the speed, heading and the altitude by itself, you just make sure is doing its job, so yeah, Space combat is kinda like commercial flying. Source: I am a pilot.

I am pretty sure that 80% of the sorcs complaining in this thread are avg joes, but ok you make some good points. Now I am going to say something probably most of you will not like, but if you consider yourself a true hardcore PvP player sometimes you have to put a side your feelings and play the classes that are viable, it doesn't mean you can't ask to buff your favorite class. I truly believe that Operative/Scoundrels take the crown as king of PvP healing, it doesn't mean the other classes are not viable, it just means Operative/Scoundrels are better and preferred, of course HoTs and incredible kitting ability (Exfiltrate/Scamper) along with an arsenal of CC, Stun and Escape abilities will make any healer look OP, maybe they should get nerfed?, I don't know, I just really don't see how they can buff Sorcs/Sages healers without breaking them, maybe a Talent point in the healing tree that allows you to heal while in Force Barrier?, anyway, Sorcs also have plenty of defensive abilities, Static Barrier, Polarity Shift, Unnatural Preservation, Force Speed, Overload and of course Force Barrier which isn't much of a help if there is no one around to heal you but yourself, you also have two HoTs, Innervate and Resurgence which are not bad. Besides in Arenas you should have guard on you at all times and your teammates should be peeling you. As Madness goes you guys want a damage mitigation CD on top of Force Barrier?, I mean I get it, as a healer Force Barrier isn't of much help since there is no one else to heal you (depending on your matrix), but as a DPS is a free reset, your healer can top you while you are channeling Force Barrier and a free reset in Arenas is a big deal, besides that you have your usual tool kit. Adding another defensive cooldown will just break your class and it will be deemed OP. I think this guy is into something here. I would like to clarify that I do believe that your class need some tweaking or maybe they need to tone down some other classes, but is your class broken to the point that it is unplayabale? No it is not by any means.

Yes, it is frustrating, but that's what you get for gambling, because that's what it is, you are better off buying a bunch of packs with CC, sell them on the GTN and buy the item you want with the money you made selling the packs when someone else puts the item you want on the GTN, but people have no patience and risk it anyway because they want the item NOW or think they might get lucky and then blame the game. You could also farm the credits by doing dailies and scouting the GTN if you got the time. Been there, done that.

The majority of the players only play the usual cookie cutter builds they get from websites and on top of that they don't know how to use it because they're following what some guy on the internet told them to do, like the usual elitist guild that only bring marauders to ops because some post on the forums said so, try to play with your builds and get to know your class by testing new builds, etc, instead of reading a guide some random guy wrote, sometimes is not about the class but more about the player. Also why are Sorcs complaining about survivability?, oh yeah because half of you are not even speced for PvP and try to cast at melee range against melee enemies without even trying to kite them, do not cast a single cc on an enemy and do not use a single of their heal abilities until they're under 20% of health, yeah no wonder you guys die a lot. I know a quite a few good sorcerers and they're so hard to kill is not even worth focusing them sometimes, why?, because they do all the things I said above, they know when to flee, they know how to position themselves, because they know how to use their class. About Arena balancing issue, they're not even out and you guys are already complaining about it, let's look at another game with Arenas, WoW, in WoW not every single Class, let alone build, are suitable for Arenas even tho it has years with the Arena system, but of course you guys want every single spec of your class to be viable for arenas and to fit every single matrix available in the game, truth is some specs are going to be better for Arenas than others, you gotta accept that and deal with it, if you want to go elitist and become hardcore on arenas reroll classes and specs that are good for it, AKA flavor of the month. I guarantee there are good players out there of each spec and each class that have a high rating and believe me is not the class. Also they're not wasting their time complaining about it on the forums because they know every class have their ups and downs. (this wasn't directed to sorcerers only) To finish you guys are taking this as an offense?, what?, grow a thicker skin. Peace.

I support this a 100%, I really like the columi/rakata set for Trooper and I recently leveled one but I was unable to get it, please Bioware make this happen.

Thank you, that is close, sadly when I dye it to say Deep blue and white some parts stay brown and it looks horrible. I wish I was able to get the one from the trooper progression trailer.

I've been trying to find this armor for the last couple of days in the GTN, Armor Collection tab, ToR-Fashion and asking around my server republic's fleet, but I have not been able to find it, I was hoping maybe someone in these forum could tell me where to get it or even if is obtainable for players. Thanks in Advance for any help anyone can provide. Here are some pictures: Armor Pic 1 Armor Pic 2 Closest thing I could find was in the Trooper Class progression Trailer, Here is a picture: Trooper Progression Armor

So you decided to make your own thread about it instead of replying to the others that already exist?

Why doesn't Bioware just give 1050 CC to every subscriber that bought the expansion before the 12th?, I know they don't have to but it would leave a good impression and more people would be willing to subscribe and support them, instead they chose to be a bit greedy and left a bunch of people displeased, I am not saying this people are right, but I can see how some of them are offended.

So basically, I shouldn't buy stuff from swtor because they will probably give it for free later on?, lesson learned i guess.

I bought the "expansion" because it was supposed to be the only way to play the new content, if you would've told me that in reality it was a 6 month early access to the expansion I would've kept my money and wait 6 months.

So I bought the "expansion" because it was supposed to be the only way to play the new content, if you would've told me that in reality it was a 6 month early access to the expansion I would've kept my money and wait 6 months. And no title is worth 10$ to me, you can keep your fancy title.
