I honestly can't decide what's worse, the fact it's been nearly 24 hours on a weekday without ANYONE from Bioware noticing or even acknowledging the GSF queue is broken on one of the two U.S. servers...OR...the fact that people care so little about gsf that there is one post in the bug forum with a whopping four responses. Yes, myself and plenty of others filed bug reports. Anyone on Satele Shan can attest that it has been talked about in gen chat a hundred times on the fleet today. I'm perfectly good with waiting until it gets fixed, bugs happen. Just seems like you guys don't care or even play your own game to notice when things like this happen unless it affects the Cartel market.

Just reporting same thing here. I just had the message "codex entry 90,91,92,93" in chat display but definitely no increase in stats nor a codex entry.

3/10 OP...meh..not the worst effort I have seen but honestly, a chimp can learn to manipulate an image using shop I'll save you the suspense...my "imaginary" friend in the Austin offices say it's down to either the Voss or Bothan and most likely around 3.0 though they MIGHT decide to go with 2.9...oh..*spoiler..sorry forgot that OP

To each their own but in my opinion, if your goal is to straight up blast through levels doing anything other than KDY with boosts is a waste of time. For strictly leveling purposes nothing in-game even comes CLOSE to KDY atm. Not sure what your character situation is but assuming you have the credits, my advice would be to take those 3 or 4 characters, buy the flashpoint legacy xp perks (30%) for each, make sure each character is in a guild for the 10% bonus, have rested XP on each AND the major xp boost. A SINGLE KDY run, especially with those levels under 35 should net you nearly 2 levels PER RUN. You aren't going to find any other method in-game atm as effective honestly.

There has been some tension by some on these forums lately regarding the lack of a vision statement for 2014...well...I won't keep you in suspense any longer!! If I steel some of your thunder Bioware my apologies!! You guys there in the Austin office can feel secure there IS NOT a leak....or IS there? joking of course...relax.. These are in no particular order (though some will certainly come LATE in 2014) 1.) A QOL adjustment, most likely around 2.7-2.8 allowing the ability to queue for both GSF AND WZ simultaneously... 2.) GSF skins of our class ships-look for these around late summer... 3.) Legacy wide GSF comms-this will NOT come before #1 due to being a bit more complicated to implement.. 4.) A new huttball WZ set in Quesh... 5.) TWO new Arenas... 6.) A new 55 hard mode of False Emperor (though they may ultimately decide on Directive 7).. 7.) TWO new GSF maps with different rule settings(one of which will be last ship standing) Now...so far..not bad(especially if you dig GSF) but not GREAT right? It's toward late summer/early fall through the end of the year that we start getting the heavy hitters... 8.) Ship Decoration-WOOOHOO....NO!! Calm down!!..It will NOT be player housing per say..it will be items sold via the cartel market/legacy unlocks for some for items that can be placed in PREDETERMINED locations in your ship just like the target dummy, mailbox, GTN kiosk ect. 9.) New player Race-THE VOSS purchased via the cartel market..(sorry Togruta fans..the clipping issues are not going to make it worthwhile) 10.) A new companion(faction neutral and obtained similar to Treek) 11.) At least the START of SWTOR's version of an epic weapon OR armor set(not both) quest which involves the mysterious ancient tome on tatooine...now..why I say the "START" is because it ties directly into #12 12.) Yavin IV-this will be roughly the same scale as Makeb in both size and story. The mysterious ancient tome's origins involve much of the sith/jedi lore from Yavin IV. This planet will also bring with it #13,#14,#15--a new OP, FP, and daily area respectively that are all tied to Yavin IV. Yavin IV WILL NOT see a level increase if they manage to hit the 2014 target date/will be march 2015 if they go with a 5 level increase. *Note: Things you will NOT see in 2014 are as follows-Class specific story continuation, A new class, any sort of instanced player housing not mentioned in #8, Legacy wide datacrons, mini games such as pazaak or swoop races, cross server queues

Much appreciated guys thx! As I eluded to in my original post I figured it had as much to do with improving my play as anything else. Definitely relieved to see that it wasn't some sort of mechanical issue or limitation strictly based on the class or specc! The guide I'll def be referring to often..well done!

Something that has really been bothering me lately is the amount of protection I put up...or lack thereof I should say. I've primarily been dps on my PT since the beginning so I admit the comfort and skill with the ST specc isn't nearly what it could be. All that said, despite taunting non stop, switching guard as needed ect. I am nearly ALWAYS out performed on protection by Juggs...sometimes as much as 150k. Jugg is basically the only class I have not played to at least conqueror so I'm curious as to whether or not it's just an issue of improving or is it that the mechanics of the jugg class make it easier to protect? Any advice would be much appreciated...very depressing hovering around 160 prot in a wz while the jugg is at or over 300k By the way, the intent of this post is not to QQ about Juggs being op or any nonsense like that. Just happens to be that is the one class in pvp I have rarely played so wasn't sure if it's a mechanical issue that is letting them excel or just a "learn to improve and play better issue" on my part. Thanks guys

Unfortunately missile blast is as good as it's ever going to get most likely. Can you imagine the outcry if the devs increased it's damage even leaving the heat cost as is? It probably still wouldn't get thrown into a rotation due to the heat and there would be major QQ about having such a high damage ability to spam on the run. As eluded to earlier by posters above me I would assume they just take it out entirely or leave it as is to avoid an inevitable nerf that would follow.

I would say without a doubt NO...you eluded to the smaller environment...that is the issue...let me ask you what happens in 8 v 8 wz when you aren't "left alone"? When you are focused on by even 2 opponents....yep..you're shredded in seconds. The fact that people are STILL able to seemingly vanish at will against our net combined with the Arena tactic 101 to burn down the easiest target first leaves us as a bit of a liability imo....against bad teams..sure..maybe..but against even half way competent players there is no way Arsenal will be desirable....if we had a true disengage then I can see it but the problem remains....in 4 v 4 Arena there is nowhere to hide...no chaos to take advantage of while we just sit back and pew pew.....just my opinion of course...

Realize and Care are two completely different things.....As a PT I'm the last person to discuss perception but honestly, at this point it is all but impossible for them to not realize...they just don't care. Hell..you're still here..I'm still here right? Despite all of the horrible decisions they have made since launch, here we are. Besides...if they actually CARED they wouldn't say "meh..we know there are balancing issues but we're not going to worry about it till 2.5 or 2.6" which is MONTHS after Arena's....just long enough for anyone NOT playing an optimal Arena class to not care themselves by the time balance issues are worked out....assuming they are still playing at all

Or not balance them until several patches after they introduce 2.4

The ability to use ONE of our legacy abilities ONCE per WZ would be a blast and might inject a bit more fun/danger/uncertainty into WZ. Notice I'm saying Warzones not Arena and only ONE of our legacy abilities not each one of them. The sorc bubbled up, zooming through the fire ready to score in hutball and with everything on CD maybe the smuggler uses his legacy force choak to prevent the score allowing the guardian to force push the sorc off the ledge. That's just one example....with Ranked WZ going away honestly what could it hurt? Before anyone says it I'll just go ahead and say "but..but..what if half the team or ALL the team uses their orbital strike at once to defend in voidstar?" My response...how is that any different than several sorcs using lightning storm ect...the difference is the team could only do that ONCE per wz.....this would also tend to give a measure of meaning to legacy level albeit a small one

Just wanted to drop in and give credit where credit is due......As a powertech I have perception problems but THIS...this little slice of...of....beautiful art....has certainly altered my perception. I can only hope once it gets aound the bioware offices it makes them feel as stupid as the responses they gave made them look.... *sincere bow

Well...I'm not going to get into the right or wrong way to heal yourself to full or to make them pay for trying to kill you...myself, along with my other PT brethren have our own perception problems to worry about right now....

Well..my main is a PT so I know full well WE ALL have a perception problem. Once they cracked the case and revealed the problem was my perception, the next step was all about solutions. You simply have 3 choices not in any particular order of epic win.. 1.) L2P 2.) make them pay for trying to kill you.. 3.) Heal to full.... That is all...mind blown?..it should be...
