Never seen a hack and I have valor 88, 82, 82, 72, 60, and that is including being valor capped while leveling on a few of my characters. On the other hand, I've seen so many accusations of hacks from bad players. Seriously, how can people not know about improved transcendence and predation 8 months after release. The weird glitch/lag issues I can somewhat understand, but still, people are way too quick to accuse.

I really hope cross server queues are next after 1.6. I'm looking forward to playing against other top teams (3 heal teams?) before my team quits

One Marauder is ideal for the improved Predation on CW/Huttball. One Juggernaut is ideal as an in-combat Tank. For a rated team, would you prefer a second Marauder or a Juggernaut for DPS and why? P.S. Hopefully there won't be petty normal WZ Juggernauts voting for a Marauders or vice versa

Lacks utility, really? AoE slow, taunts, push, AoE mez, armor debuff, and not CC'able after a leap (great for grabbing the Huttball)? Guardians/Juggs are most clutch at CC'ing for node caps, slowing down reinforcements, and carrying/grabbing the Huttball. They have the best utility in the game, short a bubble-stun Sage.

Yep. Although, I think it's good design that certain abilities lower the Smash/Sweep cooldown though. Perhaps keep that but reduce the auto-crit.

Why don't you get more data points? Is it giving you less experience rarely, often, or always?

Article would have been more relevant if it were released before GW2. Whining about the trinity went out of fashion after people played that game.

Nope, this isn't GW2 which counts accounts rather than active log-ins. Torstatus simply polls what Bioware reports as it's status. Check the starter planets, and faction homeworld. There are a lot of new players trying the game.

Why does Sifu always have so many deaths?? :D:D

Never said melee crit = force crit. I specifically mentioned melee crit as it is a better frame of reference as force crit is more variable based on what talents you pick up. Leap isn't always an option? You should always be able to get a force leap/zealous leap(obliterate) off in between the sweep cooldown. I would say 30% melee crit buffed is the highest you want to go as Focus/Rage spec. The extra bonus damage you get from converting from crit to damage helps all your abilities, including the ones you mention.

See...

Difficulty/Effort = reward. There's nothing stopping you from forming a ranked team. By all means, please do so if you think it's that much easier.

Just wondering, why would you want to separate bars? I can't really think of any ability that is PvE-only short of the moves that can only be used on strong mobs or below.

Very people who min-max and play focus have 30% melee crit buffed, let alone unbuffed. Some of them go with 0 crit rating and power augments which (IIRC) is around 23% buffed.

I still want the chair mount, or a white crystal for vanity. It's not worth it to buy packs though. The market is flooded with the items and many of the "rares" sell for next to nothing. I wanted the weapons and found it way easier to buy them from the GTN.

There's definitely a lot more now, and a significant part of it is coming from people who stopped playing/posting 6+ months ago.

I.e. everything you want to do but not pay for it. I think quickbars, hide helm, and quest rewards should be free. It just looks greedy otherwise.

Customizable ship and free-roam space would be really cool. To make it actually worthwhile, it's going to take a lot of work, so I wouldn't put it high in my priority list.

Are "preferred" players allowed to post? There has been a drastic increase in forum negativity, with some of it coming from people who haven't posted since Jan-March. Now, if these people are truly playing the game, that's fine for them to give their feedback. However, I've seen at least on thread from someone bashing the game that admitted to not even having re-installed.

Ask them and test it yourself. Go with light armor, 1200 expertise, and no damage reduction abilities/talents, and 5 stacks of armor reduction. The first three is true except for full Seer Sages (they get flat +2% damage reduction) and the latter can be applied by the Guardian in three sunders when talented (or even easier if there is a tank Guardian on the same team).

Yup, people that will take their ball and go home if they don't have instant gratification. You could use instant knockback, your stun, or instant-lift to interrupt Ravage. Even derp it with the bubble stun spec. No offense, but judging time to kill as a fresh 50 vs someone who possibly is in full WH is a very poor judge. There is now MK-2 recruit gear that you can get which will help ease the gap. Once 1.6 comes out, you can catch up in a week or two of WZs since WH will be 1/8th the price it is now.

What happened to Gods of the Galaxy? Weren't they on the rise after GW2 came out?

I like the white trooper armor Why does the Jedi Knight gear still have the puke color?

Yeah, there is a bug with the colors being different on the in-game models than in the high-res models (cutscenes/log-in screen). Fixing the colors is the right thing to do, and hopefully it is done promptly. Can you screenshot the preview of the armor? The shop lets you do the preview for each piece.

10x worth? I've found the stuff on the GTN to be way cheaper than I expected. I spent 10,000 CC on packs, and all I got was a monkey lizard and the single-blade lightsaber. Since then I've opted not to spend more on packs, but buy the things I want from the GTN. I bought double-sided lightsaber for 200k,pistol for 250k, and rifle for 150k. That is ridiculously cheap! There's a lot of junk "rares" in the packs that won't even get you 25k.
