Thats the point of it, to secure every login. Its optional to set it up, but once you do you have to use everytime you login.

I mostly just quest, im at probably 45 hours and lvl 32. things really slowed down after 30.

excellent, thanks for the info.

Any idea what the stats looked like for the crystal, also which vendor?

Drop vette, use quinn, everything will be much easier, also what spec are you? I played anni up to lvl 30, then switched to carnage.

Artifice can craft orange and magenta, theres a world boss that drops white.

I went the other way, played anni up to lvl 30 the went carnage. The change was huge after i respecced all my gear with +power mods. Im burning down gold mobs so fast now they hardly hit me.

Can you explain why not to stack crit?

From my beta experience, i could only send a maximum of 2 companions out at any one time.
