They get new ones very quickly. It's a way to introduce abilities to new players.

I was simply countering a blanket statement with an obvious exception. Perhaps I'm mistaken but content development and bug fixes seem to be more for the PvE side of things but from the outside looking in class balancing *feels* like it has more to do with PvP than PvE (unless we're discussing what they might consider "unintended" advantages in their newest Operations.)

Considering their entire statement in regards Sents/Marauders and the need to buff or not was based on success rates in Ranked PVP, I would beg to differ.

Love it. Running dailies with each one of my companions is going to be nice. A subtle shift in play style and not having to listen to the same 3 comments every 15 seconds is quite the gift from Bioware. I'll take it!

Great little system. I wish there wasn't such jump between the 960 and 970 preformance wise. I want to pick up an Nvidia card to stream to my Shield tablet but really the R9 280 is hitting the video card sweet spot right now.

I'm interested in starting to get involved with End Game. I've been playing since beta, have 30 toons over three servers but up until now have simply done leveling. I'd love to get to experience some of the Flashpoints and any Ops that I've never seen. Starting work on gear grinding for my Operative Healer, it would be great to be part of some organized grouping!

If credits are "so easy to obtain" why are you concerned?

That simply isn't true. Most folks prove otherwise. Now the jerk will always play the jerk unless it's no longer amusing or he's forcefully removed.

Always dig the one for Darth Lachris on Balmorra.

If you're finiding leveling difficult at 1-20 it's because you're not grinding/doing side quests, not getting your new abilities, or not equipping better gear as it becomes available. When I first started playing this game (my first MMO) I thought the same thing about the Shadow and Sorc stories. I was more concerned with completing the story quests as quickly as possible and would avoid trash mobs because I simply thought that was efficient and intelligent. I didn't do many heroics because grouping was problematic, I was a noob and many folks saw that as a reason to berate me, what few that were actually on planet in order to make those groups. The game felt like a bit of a struggle but I just assumed I needed to learn more. After leveling a few characters I came back to the same story lines and approached it in the manner of trash mobs and side quests are part of the leveling process. Throw in some actual grouping for heroics taboot and suddenly everything was a cakewalk. I blamed the game when I simply wansn't playing it as designed or good enough to do it "my way" even though some folks are. If you enjoy the gameplay you'll figure out ways to make content friendly by approaching it slightly over leveled or over geared , finding like minded folks with which you do enjoy grouping, and ignoring the idiots that invariably exist in any public experience whether it be a game or going to the mall. At any rate. Have fun whatever you decide to do!

I use it all the time with good results for FP's. Haven't had any success using it for planetary questing.

I would think that PvE would require more defined roles that PvP?

The lack of Scarcasm Meters is strong in this thread.

Happened to me a few times last night. Was in the middle of a FP Tanking and suddenly I can move but no abilities are being triggered. Look down sure enough got the red X. I've been rock solid all Winter until the last couple days. Hate it for the other members when that happens.

Any time I see this I always think of Taurgrim's guide for keybinding. Only uses a standard mouse and standard keyboard. http://taugrim.com/2011/04/07/guide-to-strafing-movement-and-keybindings/ This is a great place to start if you want to learn and the nice thing is that this setup will work for most every class with a couple of tweaks. I'm not there yet because I'm still playing casual content to blow off steam but one day I'm going to force the issue and see if I can really up my game.

Thinking about this. I'd say that many female players also have to filter out a ton of misogynistic BS on a daily basis.

That's great!

Don't think I'm hardcore enough for this Guild but I just had to say... Just *LOVED* the read. Tremendous work!

Interesting. I haven't tried this command. How well does it work for say... not getting turned around your first time in Story Mode with the group?

I don't think I've ever rolled need. I just blindly greed every drop. Maybe I should pay better attention.

Currently the only pure purple crystal is the Advanced War Hero Crystal. You can get a Purple-Black Eviscerating Crystal but it's only available as a drop from Explosive Conflict Ops as far as I can tell.

All of this talk about facial expressions.... Does your character's expressions ever change that much? Have you seen fear, surprise, joy.... anything? I may have to pay greater attention but I'm not seeing a whole lot of diversity in my toons.

So it will only be fans of the game that are left. That sorta makes sense. Personally I'm happy to play along and let things work themselves out here. I'm just not sure I can go back to a non Sci-Fi universe.

I made this mistake with my first Jedi Shadow. I hadn't really figured out just how much XP I was missing by not grinding the mobs. You do have to embrace the grind if you're not going to do any Space, PvP, Heroics, or FP's. It just seemed too cool to slip past the boring stuff to complete the mission. I still made the mistake of not leveling my Crafting with my last few Characters... Oh well live and learn.

I really hope it is. Someone gave it to me while I was standing at the GTN last night and I have zero desire to figure out what that means for me other than spending 2K credits every 6 hours...
