If you got 'owned' by a level 32 IA as a level 48 sage in pvp gear, the issue is between the keyboard and the chair.

When you knock down an npc, it turns towards you as it is knocked down, so the front and back reverse from what you actually see on the ground (graphical glitch).

/wink wink

Since it's taking so long for the legacy options to be implemented, will we be able to apply them to already-created characters? From what I read, most of the options require rerolling, but I'm running out of things to do, and don't want to reroll if there will be a bunch of features I can't access without starting over again.

While your at it, make operatives use pistols, since it makes more sense than carrying a huge rifle around.

Disregard the 'of equal or greater gear.' Some of those people had 15k or less health, which you most definately did not. Also, watched through the first few minutes, and it was almost exclusively you jumping sorcs/snipers with no shields on. If this is the only thing warranting a nerf, then all that is needed is a 15s cooldown on hidden strike. Would be nice to see some real pvp anyways, where all cooldowns may not be up for every fight, instead of the 5 second kill clips of light armor classes attacking someone else.

To be perfectly honest, you should stick to any ranged class as a straight up 'noob.' Ranged are almost always more forgiving in every sense, in both PvP and PvE (and in PvP there tend to be far more of them, and enough sustained qq changes anything! see op nerfs). Sorcerer/sage or Mercenary/Commando (I would stay away from sniper, since the cover mechanic makes it slightly more complex, at least in PvP or movement situations in PvE) are your best bets.

How was it on 16? We did HH on 8m NM the other day and it was barely noticeable that we were had changed the difficulty from hard. edit: how do you know 'world top 10 ops progression' when there is no real way to keep track of guilds and their current progression? i mean, there are two guilds on empire side on my server that both killed nm karagga before you; so the chances aren't that good... :/

It's on the sides between the thruster line and the turret ring. In terms of targetting reticles, they tend to show up perpendicular to the direction of the thrusters, viewed from the back.

Umm.. you seem to be forgetting that at one point your quest was fresh. Random buggyness is random - I've gotten about 2/3 of them. Regardless, it's one of the 1.1.1 fixes.

There are only so many variations on human/humanoid droids.

I don't agree with the article either, but I just need to point out the irony of this statement.

I agree, however, the primary system supporting said alts (legacy) is not implemented yet.

It boggles the mind that they put in a token system for battlemaster but not for champion. The issue the exactly the same.

See, here is where learning how to express what you actually mean makes a difference. Because Ilum is a very small part of the game. So you choose not to play the open world pvp portion of the game, and simply refuse to do any sort of flashpoint/operation/warfront endgame. I think you might be better trying out other facets of the game, since pvp isn't your strong point (note - I have about 17k hp as an operative, without a single piece of pvp gear; running around in pre-50 greens on ilum will get you killed, surprise surprise).

You get a full set of mods from belsavis and ilum (level 50 mod/enhancement/armoring), you can get a better armoring or hilt/barrel (level 51) from the daily vendors. It's a little odd, but meh. Personally I would save for the rakata implants/earpieces first, after buying a rifle/hilt for the damage boost.

I think I had two companions basically maxed when I hit 50, my first and my last. I've gone crazy with gifts though, I have about 1k left on 3 of them, then im totally done.

Not a bad idea, but I don't thnk you realize how much actual work goes into creating 12 solid hours of quest content. That and the fact that the only real way to get LS/DS points is to grind the level 10 flashpoint over and over, which is not something that should really be encourages. I would like to see some LS/DS options in daily quests perhaps, so you could get the points through some way other than zerging lowbie FP's. Other than that though, the idea is sound, but I think it would be simpler for you to swap to the enemy side mirror than to retain all of your abilities (though it might break the lore a little). Who knows, either way there needs to be some way to balance out the sides.

And rakata.

not bad ideas, but personally I just want them to fix social before doing anything else to it. I've been in the mid-300's in social 1 since the mid 40's, and i get less than 5 per day if i'm lucky (this is while I do almost all of my belsavis/ilum dailies grouped, my daily HM's, etc.).

/facepalm Firstly, the enrage timer on Bonethrasher is fine, as longas your dps aren't bad. It's a DPS check, not a generic zerg. Secondly, the mechanics on bonethrasher are fine with as many melee as you wish to bring, as long as said melee aren't awful. Thirdly, while I don't know if you mean 8 or 16, normal, hard, and nightmare sorno/jorg can be done with a single tank (and in 16 man the loss of a dps for a tank isn't as much of an issue anyways). In terms of SOA, we have never had the pillar not break his shield. We have, however, had the tank miss position the boss, and the pillar missed (make sure your tank isn't covering his *** and blaming a **** up on bugs). I do agree with the loot tables on several bosses being screwed up is a little annoying.

Never seen or heard of anything you mentioned happening, although I do agree that some bosses seem to have broken loot tables.

No **** sherlock, they are nerfing the burst. The real question is why you people continue to come here and cry about said nerf, when they nerfed our sustained as well. Not satisfied until every class but yours is a free kill?

The primary use is to clear dots to vanish, at least that's what i've found.
